Happy Talk

From One Big Yodel, 1 year ago Similar articles

Sometimes understanding German makes living in Switzerland more difficult. You hear insults. You hear stupid conversations. And you hear two twelve year old girls asking the Coop cashier how old they must be to buy cigarettes.When she told them 16, they were very disappointed.I was disappointed in them. Somehow, I wish I could have imagined that they were asking where the lollipops were. I miss my little expat bubble sometimes. Living in reality can be much harder. Maybe I should move to the...

From Lioness in Japan, Yesterday, Similar articles

Happy birthday to the kangaroo! Today is the actual day but his birthday feels longer than an Indian wedding twice over. He has had celebrations in New York, Wiesbaden, Singapore (twice: once with friends and once with my folks as shown in the photos above), Sydney (will post this soon), tonight with Mrs Kangaroo who flew in from Sydney this morning, and the grand finale this Saturday with our Tokyo friends. I think he actually likes being 40…since he is celebrating it so many...

A Storm on my Parade

I have been in cloud 9 and I appreciate every moment of it.Yesterday, my blood pressure has risen to a level I have never seen before. That is not a good thing and it made me very very sad. You see, I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't use illegal drugs. I sleep 8 hours a day. I eat right. In fact, that time I started feeling that...

Beauty and marketing

From Gweipo , 3 days ago, Similar articles

Sometimes it is possible to get things just horribly wrong.  My dear children and husband gave me the luxury of a facial yesterday morning as a mother's day gift.  90 minutes of pampering (I can't remember when last I had a facial).  It was great.  But then after, the beautician sat me down and did the hard sales talk on me.  Was I aware that I had wrinkles.  Well, duh, shock horror, I'm 46, if I didn't there would be something rather un-natural about the matter....

From Ya' All Right?, 4 days ago, Similar articles

Happy Mother's Day to the best mom anyone could ever hope for.  You're missed more than words can say.    Your oldest grandson is kind of creeped out by your baby doll.  He thinks it looks as though she's been shot in the head.  I have to agree!    Love from your daughters!  We miss you!
