How best to deviate?

Believe me, I am half a century old, and I have yet to fathom why people enjoy making others feel small.

Perhaps I am slow in learning , with age and  the slow death of millions of brain cells.  But I sincerely enjoy leaning new stuff.. just takes a little longer to absorb. But once I get the hang of it, I am on the roll.

I had encounters through the years, when seeking answers and am always given the brush off.

Loud, abrasive and abusive in the presence of others.  I am usually quiet when provoked cos I do not want to make a scene.

I was enlightened to learn "that when people do act out this way it is because they know little and wants to shut you up, before you ask too many questions that might make them look incompetent and inadequate in their knowledge"

Thus now when such situations arises, I must remember ... "I am better than what they make me out to be!"

Saving the Internet

My dad just turned 77 today!

I have decided to get him a used iPad.  It used to be mine!
I know, I know... I should have gotten him something NEW.
But problem is he never accepts presents or let me pay for meals.

Probably think I need to save up for my old age. I know he is extremely
concerned for my future. More so, he had been watching over me till now...
who is going to keep an eye out for me when he is gone.

Believe me he had been this way since I was young!
Worry, worry, worry! I have grown to be as paranoid!

But today, to save him from his current paranoia that he is losing
his marbles, the iPad will serve him well. Anything he could not
recall, just click search! You should have seen his face when he learnt
to use YouTube to search for singers like Frankie Laine, Johnny Cash etc
There was a glint in his eyes. I could tell though it may not be very conspicuous
to others.

Secondly, hopefully this will get him off Sage's back for being at the
comp all the time. Sage taught me that you could learn lots from YouTube.
From cooking, playing the piano, repairing the computer, photoshop and
lots more.

I've just saved the internet from condemnation!  ;)

Maybe i should next teach him how to start his own blog. hee hee

All over the place

Now that I am back ... hmm how long can I or will I stay?

I trully miss my blogging friends. But I am not a very good one too! 

All the things I need to handle, whether work, finance, home, parents, son... 

I do not seem to be  able to multi-task.  I am envious of those who are coping well! 

Silly problems just keeps loading into my ineffective brain and anxious heart.

I look strong and capable but unfortunately I am not! 

Do not judge a book by its cover!
