Why Men Die For Women

Got this in my e-mail this morning: always fresh, always hot.

People send me a lot of e-mails as Fw:'s and some of them are keepers and fit to pass on..then others are becoming tedious those about old age,male and/or female bashing,and even those about passing on angels. maybe I'm just becoming de-sensitised to all of them now and feel like others are sick of me passing them on so I'm really quite selective now.

MOI: I don't have that problem. I let people know that I hate receiving FWed e-mails. If they want to keep in touch with me, they should send me real content.

Needless to say, this does not go over well. Sofia complains I scare away our friends because I am too gruff.

This came from a friend who does respect my e-mail. She rarely sends non-personal messages, but they are always worthwhile if she does.

This is a single slide from a collection of slides. If you want, I can e-mail the whole collection to you.

Aside from the recipe exchange I spammed people with a while back, I never send out or forward e-mails. I only got one or two recipes out of it. sigh. And I thought it was really a good idea (much better than those, "Send this 77 of your closest friends and you will be rewarded on the first full moon falling on a Thursday when it rains").

I think that should be why men deserve to die.

Congrats on surviving the first week of NaBloPoMo.

tena: I know, men are fools to shave, we should all wear beards

whiskoffe: this is why I always get my cuts by a female, I don't trust men to do me well (too much temptation to eliminate the competition).

No, I don't really want the whole collection, but thanks. It has a Norman Rockwell look or feel to it in a way. My husband gets his hair and beard cut by the barber in town who is so busy telling him the latest gossip, that he always massacres it! I love beards and if I were a guy, I'd certainly have one...sure saves time in the morning!

MOI: I have always found I get a better haircut from women. Or maybe it is just I prefer women to muss with my hair.

I think that as women we sometimes feel and/or claim that men are fools for being so wonderstruck by other women... but we really do enjoy feeling that we have the ability to do that to men! :)

breal: Sofia says the same. She says she misses being whistled as in Peru.

Chinese Wisdom Concerning Money

[19September-2007 @ 17:11 EST: Revised preamble. This page still gets the most search hits: There is no Anthony de Croud. The e-mail is SPAM. I post things that pique my fancy at the moment. I like the 8 precepts, but the rest of the e-mail is junk. However, I thought it fair to post everything in its entirety. I did not write the e-mail. I did not forward the e-mail. I strongly encourage you not to forward it either. (I also encourage you to reply to whomever sent you the e-mail and tell them you don't appreciate getting junk mail.)] Received this in our e-mail (English translation follows): PRECEPTO CHINO SOBRE EL DINERO EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR UNA CASA, PERO NO UN HOGAR, EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR UN RELOJ, PERO NO EL TIEMPO. EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR UNA CAMA, PERO NO EL SUEÑO. EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR UN LIBRO, PERO NO EL CONOCIMIENTO. EL DINERO PUEDE PAGAR UN MÉDICO, PERO NO LA SALUD. EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR UNA POSICIÓN, PERO NO EL RESPETO. EL DINERO PUEDE COMPRAR LA SANGRE, PERO

Risky Singapore?

-
CBC Radio had a documentary on Singapore and its lack of risk taking yesterday (only just heard it this morning). Since I know there are 1 or 2 Singaporean readers of this blog, I am curious to know how accurate the documentary is. I find that people often have mistaken impressions about other cultures and people. You can hear it here .

Why you should regularly visit your dentist.

-
I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some
