As age catches up with me, I am surrounded by more and more people who have bad hearing. Some have even accused me of having poor hearing. However I maintain that those people mumble.

Nonetheless it seems a common characteristic that people with poor hearing expect others to have patience and display consideration when they cannot catch what has been said. The poor hearers, justifiably, want others to understand that they don't choose to have poor hearing and for the rest of us to repeat things clearly and most of all, with patience.

Toddlers and Tiaras competition

Er Yucks

I am just watching this show called"Toddlers and Tiaras" on TV. It is definitely a mixed reaction phenomena. The kiddies (invariably girls) in the competition are definitely cute, even beautiful. Yet at the same time there is a definite revulsion in seeing them. Not just coz the parents (almost always moms) are themselves suspect (how far do they push them? are the comps for the mom's or are the kids really into this).

Happy Kindle Birthday

Kevin Rudd the clear winner

Today at 12 pm, we had the first debate between Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and the Liberal Opposition leader, Tony Abbott. And I am happy to report that most of the analysts seem to concur with what I strongly believe - that Kevin Rudd was the winner in this debate. The debate topic was re. Health and Hospital policies for Australia.

Oddity of Connections: Virtual Assistants & Corey Haim

I know how strange the juxtaposition of those 2 phrases are. Funny thing about life - it dies and it carries on independently.

I was just having a nosy peek at Google's hot trends and these 2 hotties at the moment caught my attention.

So if you have a number of places/sites where you blog - should you blog at all of them? And do you blog the same stuff? Silly question I know but silliness does have to be attended to in life.

Dinner and Klute, Feb 2010

19 December 2009

Left for Geelong from Sydney - left early this year to be in time for Fatty's 50^th birthday bash. 10 hours drive. Pete drove, Klutey stood semi-alert, I chatted. Had simple dinner (or "tea" as they call it) at Joy and Russ's. Karen and Garrie came over.
