We are all susceptible to feelings and moods; like love, anger, melancholy, humour and so on.
For instance, I sometimes wake up grumpy. At other times I just leave her to sleep and go downstairs and make a cup of tea.
I often take my wife morning tea in my pyjamas. But is she grateful? No, she says she'd rather have it in a cup.
Honestly, I love being married. It's great to find the person I can annoy for the rest of my life. She is family. I also love my family. If it was not for my family I'd be arguing with perfect strangers.
I want my children to have all the things I could not afford at their age. Then I'll move in with them.
Before I got married I used to sell furniture. It was my own furniture. I've always been poor. Even as a child my parents were very poor. So poor that we used to tie a dead hedgehog to a stick and use it as a toilet brush. We could not afford the things people take for granted these days. I used to lie in my bed and look up to the sky and think, "I hope one day to afford mending the roof!" I often dreamt of winning the lottery. Incidentally, how come you never see a headline like, "Psychic wins the lottery"?
My friend is very rich. I'll admit that I envy him. He has two swimming pools in his garden. He keeps one empty for people who cannot swim. I don't envy or covet his wife. I certainly would not want to meet her in a dark alley at night. She is very thin, with a white pale skin, and long black hair all over her back. None on her head; just down her back.
Sometimes in my moods I ask myself a lot of questions; but never find the answers. For example, do aliens from outer space have tattoos? Do they wear glasses, or have beards, or earrings and piercings like we humans do? Do they like Italian food, or Greek, French or Chinese?
How do they communicate with us? Do they have a translator App which translate their language to English? What if they land in Spain or some other country?
Why do we have so many Apps these days? Our grandparents got on well without them. They had books and libraries instead. Now there's an App for everything. An App for this and an App for that, how to open a can of beans, how to wash behind your ears or fart in a bottle. What's wrong with society these days who cannot live without an App telling them how to do it?
There's even an App that corrects my spelling and grammar when I type on this computer of mine; even though sometimes I want to deliberately write something wrong to make a point.
I just read in the papers that the man who invented "Autocorrect" has just died. May he restaurant in peace!
Here's a song about feelings to make you feel better.
Victor, I don't think I have ever known of a comedian who is funnier than you, you are very talented at comedy. I listened to Les Dawson singing, no need to tell you what my 'feelings' were after listening.... ha...... ha.!
ReplyDeleteThank you Brenda for your kind compliments. I am so glad I cheered you up a little. It pleases me no end when my readers smile a little at what I say.
DeleteBy the way, have you seen my previous post "The Soup Waved At Me"? There's a FREE humourous book to download from there. ( www.holyvisions.co.uk )
God bless.
...I'm not an app guy, but I try to be a h-app-y guy!
ReplyDeleteGod one, Tom. God bless.
DeleteYep, there's a app for that that's apt to make me un-appy. Victor, your sense of humor can't be beat! I enjoyed the video, too. What a hoot! God bless!
ReplyDeleteToday's society cannot function without technology. Perhaps we should tell people their brain is an App; then they might use it.
DeleteGod bless, Martha.
You are a good comedian - I follow a sentence and then bang - here comes the punch line.
ReplyDeleteLife sometimes has more punchlines than the jokes it provides us. Keep smiling, Sandie.
DeleteGod bless you.
People seem to be lost these days without apps. I know a person who can't even read a map when going on a long trip, Simple things to learn are not being learned these days. What happens when the power goes out and nothing works. Lost people trying to figure it all out. Keep smiling and laughing, my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Bill. People don't seem to be learning anything these days; they just Google everything to find an answer or use AI to tell them. Life isn't what it used to be.
DeleteGod bless you always, Bill.
Thank-you Victor: You always make me smile and giggle, you have a knack for making people stop and think about many things in life good and bad. I am not a fan of auto-check when writing text messages, they seem to think that I want to say something different from what I am typing. I could live without my cell phone but not my computer I am hooked. Thank-you have an amazing week.
ReplyDeleteCatherine
Life can be funny, Catherine; and wherever I find humour I try to share it with my readers to make them smile. I agree that auto-check can be a right pain sometimes.
DeleteGod bless you and yours.
Ouch, that singing voice is even lower than my IQ! However I truly appreciate someone who will keep an empty pool for those who cannot swim. How thoughtful...... Love from this side... as always appreciate the prayers...
ReplyDeleteLes Dawson was a comedian who also played the piano and deliberately hit the wrong notes; yet the tune was always recognisable.
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed today's post, Jack. God bless you and Sherry.
Not an app fan!!
ReplyDeleteKen's sister won the NY state lottery many years ago now. 4 million dollars. No, we didn't see a penny of it. :)
$4m? Wow ... that's all I can say, K.
DeleteGod bless you and Ken.
I'd rather have a nap than an app.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Mimi. I agree. God bless always.
DeleteGoodness that Les Dawson video takes me back ... and I was still cringing when he started singing (can you call it that?) so off-key but yes, funny with it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday Victor.
All the best Jan
He was a genius compared to today's so-called comics.
DeleteBest wishes, Jan. God bless you.
I used to love that song! (At least when Morris Albert performed it, lol.) You make a very good point about all these apps. Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the much-needed smiles this evening!
What did we do in the olden days without Apps? And without Google and AI?
DeleteKeep smiling my friend. God bless you, Mevely.
