a green middle age man is looking for a relaxing chat on X'mas afternoon
-
I used to enjoy BBQ but not anymore. I just don't see the fun in waiting for the foods to be cooked and most of the chances are that either it is uncooked or burned. Running around from one place to another to get the foods and how about getting your hands all dirty and greasy! After a hard day work, in my days off, I prefer to be pampered and being served instead.
-
Also sitting under the burning sun all sweat up or in the winter all dusty and freezing. The lacking of a decent clean washroom too. Count me out!
-
The reason that i do not like bbq is because i am living on the top floor and we have a roof top in private, so my family alway have bbq with their friends atleast once a month, except summer
-
let's forget about bbq. may be you can tell me something about yourself or what you enjoy doing instead.
-
It is one thing for the host to arrange a BBQ for all friends and families but another infact pretty annoying for the uninviting guests having the presumtion that it should not be a problem to hold a monthly BBQ party since it is so much more convenient and comfy too. It reminds me of a herd of charging elephants eaten up everything and leaving behind the mayhem.
-
haha, you are so right
-
I'm in similar situation as you. I cannot say that I am thoroughly enjoyed of what I am but rather accept it as best as I could. I don't have any dog or cat, but I used to however I find they demand too much attention and time (more than a child). Beside I am not keen on picking/cleaning their toiletries while having the ritual walkies. Having plants is just about what I can deal with.
-
Believe me that having a dog is just one of the best decision in recent years. She just bring the family greatest enjoyment. yes, the attention and time needed is a problem, fortunely, our maid is a dog lover too, therefore we can just enjoy most of the fun part with our dog
-
I don't like it when it comes a time for they to go which is inevitable. Absolutely devastated and sadden for a long long time. To be honest nothing is worse than being missed of their presence or the empty bowls where you used to feed it. How about the collar they used to wear actually I still keep it somewhere. I just hate that feeling.
-
By the way, I can understand why your maid enjoys spending time with your dog than you/family. She can tell her off knowing there's no answering back, lowering her guard and relaxes cos the dog doesn't mind, she feels more superior whereas the dog is inferior and looking at her adoringly which is rared being a maid.
-
I agree that the devastation is inevitable but it also apply to all things, relationships, freinds or families. In fact, the more you love, the more it devastate. I like to look at the cup half full than half empty - I would thanks for the happiness she brought instead.
-
life is more fun if you are more optimistic
-
I do not agree with your comment on the maid. yes, you are right in most cases, but our maid just happens is a dog lover. She just take care of our dog as her own children.
-
that is also why we still hire her after 2 contracts
-
Well, thanks for your optimistic opinion. It's time up for me, gotta go. Nice chatting to you and wish you a happy festive season.
-
Thanks for your time either. May i just give you a small advise. Try to think about "opportunity" than "problem". it can give you more fun and joy in life
-
I didn't contradict of what you saying of your maid who is a dog lover and taken good care of it. It's been dictated to her that it is part of her daily duties, which she has no choice but to achieve the task as best as she could. How many discontented employers will stand up to their employee voicing out of their mundane and boring daily works? That's what you're paid for and wouldn't it be great that the job of what you're doing is what you enjoy most.
Let's keep it as it is that your maid is a dog lover and also love her work.
-
