Small Talk Six: What my Dad and I have in common

Despite being acknowledged by family as a Papa's girl, I don't think there was that much interaction between us while I was growing up. Communication was routin-ish, but we did have fond father-and-daughter moments. These are things Papa and I have in common:

1. Board games
2. Reading self to sleep
3. Spoiling kids
4. Excellent meats and desserts
5. Stubbornness
6. Spending a lot of time on a passion

Weekend Funnies: Snug Softness

The email began like this: one could lose oneself in such snug softness.

I know most of you are dog lovers and will help. My neighbor has lost her Chihuahua puppy and is desperate to find him.

Yesterday, she was sitting on the couch watching TV and realized he was gone. She called out to him and he never responded and of course it was then that she noticed the back door was open. She has been putting up signs everywhere in an effort to have him returned.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. THIS IS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE

and thanks Mareng for the continuous supply of laughter

My dad and I didn't have that much interaction as well. Even affection is more forced for us. I do, however, appreciate all the commonalities we do have.

Watch out for the urchin

Friends and I went island-hopping last year. My phone was changing indications of where we were several times. Names are difficult to read, much less remember. The main island where we hopped from is called Koh Chang or Elephant island. We went to five islets each taking about 15 minutes to reach. In a stop one of my friends encountered a sea urchin. They say a pee would cure the sting. I don't know if it's true. Another thing I heard about urchins is they could sense and would crawl towards human presence. Probably for more prickly attention? Although sometimes paradise has a price, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, the weather perfect and the breeze was just what our city-dwelling lungs needed. All is well. *** My World Tuesday is brought to you by Klaus and the My World Team Sandy , Wren , Fishing Guy , Sylvia

Answers through pictures

Genebei invited me to do this picture tag. I must admit I had a lot of fun doing this. It took me a long time though to find Google images that are royalty free or NOT subject to copyright.

Pretentious Diet

Our Weekend Memoirs: Dieting on Eggs Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing The chinese guy selling noodles in front of 7 Eleven also sells eggs. I wanted to buy some but he was busy with his customers and I couldn't wait. Back in front of the pc, a recent report that Margaret Thatcher's pre-election victory diet included 28 eggs a week had me reading more than I normally would big news. She is said to have told an interviewer that she had "no special dieting regime." Her pocket diary, which was released by the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust seems to have revealed otherwise. But don't we all sometimes like to keep others wondering? The Iron Lady's husband though gives it to us straight and cool. When asked "who wears the pants in this house?" He replied, "I do. And I also iron them." This anecdote is exactly what I thought of while my southeast asian ass err... blood was quivering in the London cold as I stood on this famous street. Then M...
