A Welcome Distraction


BERJAYA


I went for a hot walk on the weekend. I walked by a neighbour's garage sale. She was giving away a large Sony TV. It was a nice set, it would've cost a lot of money when it was new. She said it was working. Someone had said he would come by to take it later on.

I decided to go by the library. I enjoyed reading 'Shopaholic and Sister' by Sophie Kinsella and thought I might borrow another one in that series of books. Unfortunately the library was not yet open. A man and his son were outside and asked if I had any idea where to drop some garbage off. It seems their green compost bin had been broken into or something. I couldn't advise them where to go.

Walking down Main Street, there was a man playing guitar, and singing what sounded like a Blue Rodeo country song. He was good. I noticed he had his guitar case open on the ground for donations. He had a partner playing keyboard.

Further down the road, a bride, groom and 3 bridesmaids dressed in purple were eating ice cream cones.

Then I passed by a hot red antique looking car, except it looked brand new. K would've liked it.

Well, it was in interesting eventful walk, every day is different! I was actually pondering upon how fast my kids are growing up and it was a little sad. In fact L will be back at school in another month. I now have to start thinking of getting K into College (and hoping his marks will be good enough). M has a persistent cough lingering from a cold but is enjoying the Olympics. The walk provided a welcome distraction.

The Long and Winding Road

I watched some of the Olympic swimming last night, it is awesome, the precision, the power of the swimmers.

For Creative Tuesdays' 'Beatles Song' theme, I've done an acrylic on a post-it note.  It's based on a photo I saw on Google.  I chose to do The long and winding road', a sad kind of song.

Recipes for a good marriage

Here are a few good laughs for you today:




RED SKELTON'S 13 RECIPES FOR A GOOD MARRIAGE

For those of you old enough to remember Red Skelton, I think you will enjoy this e-mail. For those of you not old enough you will see what you missed. Either way, his humor was always clean and he was a great entertainer. A re-run of great 'one liner's' from the man who was known for his clean humor. I hope you
 get a chuckle or two reading them once more. . .



1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a
little beverage, good food and companionship.
She goes on Tuesdays; I go on Fridays..

2. We also sleep in separate beds.
Hers is in California , and mine is in Texas ..

3. I take my wife everywhere,
but she keeps finding her way back..

4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested the kitchen..

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops..

6. She has an electric blender, electric
toaster and electric bread maker.
She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place
to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair..

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well
because there was water in the carburetor.
I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."..

8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days.
Then the mud fell off..

9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late
for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!"..

10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce..

11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her
first name was 'Always'..

12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her..

13. The last fight was my fault though.
My wife asked, "What's on the TV?"
I said, "Dust!"..
 
Can't you just hear him say all of these?
         I love it........these were the good old days when humor didn't have to start with a four letter word. It was just clean and simple fun. And he always ended his programs with the words... "God Bless" with a big smile on his face.  : )

Too Soon Old

This poem is circulating the internet in various forms and fabrications but I found it quite moving:

Written by Dave Griffith of Fort Worth, Texas 



Too Soon Old


What do you see nurses? . . What do you see?
What are you thinking . . . . when you're looking at me?
A crabby old man, . .  .  .  . not very wise,
Uncertain of habit . . . . . with faraway eyes?

Who dribbles his food . . . . . . and makes no reply
When you say in a loud voice . . 'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice . . . the things that you do.
And forever is losing . .. . . . . . A sock or shoe?

Who, resisting or not . . . . . .. lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding . . . . . The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking? . . . Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse .  . you're not looking at me.

I'll tell you who I am, . . .. . . as I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, . . . . as I eat at your will
I'm a small child of Ten . . . . with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters . . . . . . . who love one another

A young boy of Sixteen .. . with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now . . . . a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty. . . . . .My heart gives a leap.
Remembering the vows . . . . . that I promised to keep.

At Twenty-Five, now . . . . . I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . . . . . . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . . . . . With ties that should last.

At Forty, my young sons . have grown and are gone,
But my woman's beside me . . .. . to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more, . . Babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children . . . . My loved one and me .

Dark days are upon me . ... My wife is now dead.
I look at the future . . . . . . . . . I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing . . . . . young of their own.
And I think of the years … And the love that I've known.

I'm now an old man . . . . . . . and nature is cruel.
‘Tis jest to make old age. . . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles . . . . . . grace and vigor depart.
There is now a stone . . . . . where I once had a heart.

But inside this old carcass . . A young guy still dwells,
And now and again . . . . . . . . . . I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . . . . . . . life over again.

I think of the years, all too few . . . . . gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . . . . that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people . . . . open and see..
Not a crabby old man Look closer . . see . . . ME!!

1/2 cup tomato chopped
1 1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed and drained
good pinch of salt
a few grinds of seasoning salt

2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
Optional- Bread crumbs for topping


Directions

Heat oil, add onions and tomatoes. Stir in quinoa and garlic.  Add 3 cups water (or stock) and season with salt and the Seasoning Salt ( Lawry's or Everyday Seasoning). Cover and simmer 15-20 mins until most liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand 5 mins.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 13x9 inch dish with parchment paper. Whisk together eggs and milk in large bowl. Fold in quinoa mixture and cheese. Stir very well and let some of the cheese melt.

A mini vacation

BERJAYA


We spent the weekend at L's boyfriend's family's cottage in Muskoka, a couple of hours drive north of Toronto. We were treated very well, it was like a mini vacation and they are a lovely family. It was a friendly gesture on their part, not so much an indication of a serious relationship, although the young couple seem besotted with each other at this time!  An added bonus was the fact that they have internet access, so I was able to stay 'connected'.

They have a nice boat, so we boated around Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau (all connected), viewed multi million dollar cottages (owned by movie stars and business magnates) and had lunch at a patio restaurant in the Marriott resort up there. They have a lovely cottage but it wasn't one of the huge mansions we saw, which is probably just as well. I took a photo of the sunset by their cottage for you.

In a strange coincidence, K discovered his friend was also at his own cottage, which was quite close to where we were staying, so he was able to visit and spend some time with him.  They actually went to see 'The Dark Knight' batman movie in town one night.  Everyone was talking about the terrible Colorado tragedy.  Our sympathies are with the victims.

Some Books

I was the lucky winner of Cindy Adkin's blog anniversary giveaway and she mailed me this lovely garden book that I can't wait to read! Thanks again Cindy! Cindy has a beautiful and interesting blog called 'Art, Books, Tea'.


BERJAYA



I'm currently reading this book called 'Shopaholic and Sister' by Sophie Kinsella. M and I were walking by this house last month and they had a box of free items giving away. This book was lying right on top and I liked the colours so I took it home. It's light reading so far and I've had a few chuckles from it, it's genuinely funny.

A Wonderful Review

It's not often you see a movie reviewed with 4 out of 4 stars, it made me think it might be worth seeing 'The Dark Knight', the new Batman movie!
According to the reviewer, this movie 'incorporates human frailty and realistic threats of nuclear and economic destruction into the densely layered saga'.  He describes the movie as a 'brainy blockbuster' where all the actors have done wonderful jobs with the characters, it's described as one of the year's best movies. Apparently 50 % of the film contains IMAX images.  'The Dark Knight Rises is soul-deep. It prompts us look at our most private fears and how we cope with them. It questions what happens if we give into those fears.  It’s a demanding movie, one that could leave you exhausted as well as exhilarated'

Well at the very least, it's a wonderful review!   Do you think you might go see it?

In other news this article describes new hope in the Alzheimer's fight.
'The treatment in this case was IVIG, which is a mixture of antibodies collected from the blood of healthy human individuals.

...the treatment uses the strategy of immunotherapy, a generic approach which introduces an antibody into a patient to try to neutralize a factor that is important for the disease’s progression.'

The research results have been so promising they are expanding the trials with results expected in 2013.

Introverts and Extroverts

I found this cute image on Pinterest, it's so true, what do you think?  You can click on the image to enlarge it. I'm an introvert.


BERJAYA


It was 37C (98.6F) but with heat and humidity it really felt like 45C (113F) yesterday. I went for a walk in the evening and felt like I was in the Sahara desert. People were saying they felt like they were in Florida!

I had a good start to the day.  I had a routine dental checkup and everything was fine.  Then I was worried about a money order I had mailed to the U.S. and it was received, no problem.  It's all very well to talk of email money transfers, or paypal but that also depends on whether the recipient is comfortable with receiving money  in this manner.

I'd really like to see the new Spiderman movie but we can't seem to get around to seeing it.  K has seen it twice just by chance.

The subway incident


BERJAYA


M told me he was on the subway last week, and fell asleep as he often does.  Apparently a lady came to sit next to him, with a toddler in a stroller.  The toddler had been eating a messy chocolate chip cookie and rested his hand on M's pant near his knee, leaving a bit of a smear.  M woke up when the lady started gently wiping M's pant leg with a napkin.  He was a bit startled, but proceeded to pull out a pack of wet wipes, that he always travels with.  The lady was amazed at the quick cleanup, and M gave her one to help clean up the toddler.  She hadn't known about such wipes, and in fact, the whole train was smiling at the incident!  All is well that ends well, the lady had seemed so concerned when her toddler had dirtied M's pant leg.

Big Mac Sauce

This video shares 'the secret' of the Big Mac Sauce and it's pretty easy to duplicate. It contains yellow mustard, mayonnaise, relish, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, as described in the video.  You would just use it on a cooked burger patty seasoned with salt and pepper.  Top with shredded lettuce and minced onions.  Of course, you would also need a burger bun.

I quickly whipped a batch up and L was the first to taste it and said it was pretty close! Do you think you'll try it?

Apparently it's been out on the internet for awhile so it's not really a secret.

Pear Sorbet

Pear Sorbet

Every summer in July, Toronto has a Summerlicious restaurant special. Hundreds of restaurants have special prix fixe menus. On the weekend, we all decided to go to Katsura, a participating Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant. The chef was juggling the salt and pepper shakers as usual, they put on a special display while cooking. He even sets a tower of onions on fire with brandy. Anyway, he told us the night before, he dropped one of the shakers and cracked one of the plates. He had never done that before, in 21 years of working as a Teppanyaki chef. The plates and all the vegetables had to be cleared away and the process restarted, the poor man!

I had the pear sorbet for dessert, it was very refreshing.

A Nun Grading Papers


This one's hilarious, enjoy!


CAN YOU IMAGINE THE NUN SITTING AT HER DESK GRADING THESE PAPERS, ALL THE WHILE TRYING TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE AND MAINTAIN HER COMPOSURE!

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IF YOU KNOW THE BIBLE EVEN A LITTLE, YOU'LL FIND THIS HILARIOUS! IT COMES FROM A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST.

KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT SPELLING HAS BEEN LEFT IN.


1. IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GUINESSIS. GOD GOT TIRED OF CREATING THE WORLD SO HE TOOK THE SABBATH OFF.

2. ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED FROM AN APPLE TREE. NOAH'S WIFE WAS JOAN OF ARK. NOAH BUILT AND ARK AND THE ANIMALS CAME ON IN PEARS.

3. LOTS WIFE WAS A PILLAR OF SALT DURING THE DAY, BUT A BALL OF FIRE DURING THE NIGHT.

4. THE JEWS WERE A PROUD PEOPLE AND THROUGHOUT HISTORY THEY HAD TROUBLE WITH UNSYMPATHETIC GENITALS.

5. SAMPSON WAS A STRONGMAN WHO LET HIMSELF BE LED ASTRAY BY A JEZEBEL LIKE DELILAH.

7. MOSES LED THE JEWS TO THE RED SEA WHERE THEY MADE UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHICH IS BREAD WITHOUT ANY INGREDIENTS.

8. THE EGYPTIANS WERE ALL DROWNED IN THE DESSERT. AFTERWARDS, MOSES WENT UP TOMOUNT CYANIDE TO GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

9. THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS WAS WHEN EVE TOLD ADAM TO EAT THE APPLE.

10. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT IS THOU SHALT NOT ADMIT ADULTERY.

11. MOSES DIED BEFORE HE EVER REACHEDCANADA THEN JOSHUA LED THE HEBREWS IN THEBATTLE OF GERITOL.

12. THE GREATEST MIRICLE IN THE BIBLE IS WHEN JOSHUA TOLD HIS SON TO STAND STILL AND HE OBEYED HIM.

13. DAVID WAS A HEBREW KING WHO WAS SKILLED AT PLAYING THE LIAR. HE FOUGHT THE FINKELSTEINS, A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN BIBLICAL TIMES..

14. SOLOMON, ONE OF DAVIDS SONS, HAD 300 WIVES AND 700 PORCUPINES.

15. WHEN MARY HEARD SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF JESUS, SHE SANG THE MAGNA CARTA.

16. WHEN THE THREE WISE GUYS FROM THE EAST SIDE ARRIVED THEY FOUND JESUS IN THE MANAGER.

17. JESUS WAS BORN BECAUSE MARY HAD AN IMMACULATE CONTRAPTION.

18. ST. JOHN THE BLACKSMITH DUMPED WATER ON HIS HEAD.

19. JESUS ENUNCIATED THE GOLDEN RULE, WHICH SAYS TO DO UNTO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO ONE TO YOU. HE ALSO EXPLAINED A MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY SWEAT ALONE.

20. IT WAS A MIRICLE WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND MANAGED TO GET THE TOMBSTONE OFF THE ENTRANCE.

21. THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THE LORD WERE CALLED THE 12 DECIBELS.

22. THE EPISTELS WERE THE WIVES OF THE APOSTLES.

23. ONE OF THE OPPOSSUMS WAS ST. MATTHEW WHO WAS ALSO A TAXIMAN.

24. ST. PAUL CAVORTED TO CHRISTIANITY, HE PREACHED HOLY ACRIMONY, WHICH IS ANOTHER NAME FOR MARRAIGE.

25. CHRISTIANS HAVE ONLY ONE SPOUSE. THIS IS CALLED MONOTONY.

Toilet Paper

Matt posted this on his wallpaper blog recently and I thought it was hilarious. I have a thing about toilet paper and to me this is a nightmare!


BERJAYA

I had a nice lunch with an old friend yesterday. She suffered a stroke a few years back and I had not seen her for years. She is able to walk but not comfortably down stairs. She never had any health problems prior to that, it was an aneurism that started in her neck and then a blood clot travelled up to her brain and she suffered a stroke. It was the year her husband retired. They had just moved into a lovely new home and were in the middle of renovations. She still suffers from an unexplained dizziness. M is going to get her the name of a new nerve medicine that has helped his mom for a different problem. It may be worth a try. She now remembers that she suffered mysterious headaches on the right side of her head where the stroke was, for about 6 months prior. They told her it might be menopausal symptoms, etc. But if you complain about headaches, there is not much the doctors can do, or know about it.

So I get the odd backache, and various aches and pains when the weather is humid, etc, but suddenly it doesn't seem like a lot to complain about. And my friend is a lot better off than many others.

In other news, I needed a new non-stick frying pan and got one that says it is PFOA free. I had no idea what it meant, but from what I can google, it means it is TEFLON free and made with ceramics. There has been some controversy on the safety of TEFLON.
