Say When

RD told me about this interesting cup.

I thought a Pythagorean Cup was a triangular mug.

It's not.  It's something better.

Take It With a Grain of Salt ... or More

Last year, I had gotten one of those fancy bunny ear type of salt and pepper grinders on sale.

Although they had the advantage of working with only one hand, 

they didn't really work very well.

It seemed as if I was getting more exercise than salt or pepper. 

Last Tuesday, I finally decided to pick up a new salt grinder.

When I put it on the kitchen counter, I discovered that MacGyver had bought a new pepper grinder.

I guess he didn't enjoy the wrist exercises either.

This evening, RD was looking for an after dinner snack 

and decided to have some cottage cheese on bread.

We usually sprinkle a bit of salt over the cheese to enhance the flavour

so I mentioned that he could be the first one to use the salt grinder.

We teased about him spilling the salt, 

and in the blink of an eye it was over. 

I can't say I don't know what happened because I know exactly what happened.

RD flipped the salt grinder upside down and started turning the top in the wrong direction. 

This is literally a whole bottle of salt over a piece of toast.

Weapon of Choice

RD asked me to get him some black ballpens for his upcoming exams.

I had a couple of black pens lying around the house  so I offered them to him.

He politely refused.  

He said he wanted to have pens like the ones he has been using all year.

I asked, "What kind of pen do you like?"

He showed me his Kilometrico ballpen.

I was surprised because I didn't realise they sold those pens here.

Apparently, they are made in Malaysia.

Good choice, RD.

If you must know, according to the old advertisements,

"Writes thousands and thousands of words... Kilometrico!"

Tired of the Original?

I spotted this on GI's table.  

XTRA KICKIN' JALAPENO CHEESE

That's an interesting new Pringles flavour, I thought.

GI is usually a Salt and Vinegar kind of guy.

MyGirl is a Sour Cream and Onion kind of girl.

Then I found a chanced upon a couple more at the Asian grocery store.

Trees

BY JOYCE KILMER

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.

==================

I saw them cutting down a tree at Hyde Park last 12 March 2015.

It is sad to think how quickly a tree can be cut down

considering how many years it took for the tree to get that big. 

This is man's work.

I took this picture a week after.

There is no more sign of the big tree.

This is God's work.

I took a picture of a nearby tree.

This one gets to live another day.

Coffee, Tea, or Me?

We went to Victoria's Basement the other weekend 

and MacGyver saw the Monopoly mugs on sale.

The JUST VISITING mug was so appropriate for him.

We decided to get it.

Now we have our own his and hers work mugs for our coffee dates.

In C Minor

For my music lover that cannot see major-- 

C MINOR is perfect!

Take It All Off

Eldest Sis showed me this cool product.

Who would have thought you just needed a dress to undress?

Hugs to All

This is a very touching story.
