Dear Chris 29, December, 2008

I was reminiscing the last few days and I remembered someone very special to me. Chris. Chris and I met when I was 17 and I was on summer vacation just before going to university. He was approximately 4 years older, from California, very sweet, very tanned, very good looking and was a great person.

We got very close over the next few months. I still smile and remember the line he would always use when I would be cheeky toward him “oh I see how you are” he had such a cute accent hehe. One day I met another guy and decided not to accept Chris’ advances and decided to start dating the new guy. Chris never liked that decision and our friendship and whatever was blossoming was discontinued soon thereafter. That new guy I started dating became a 4 year nightmare unfortunately, but I was 17/18 years old at the time and we all make errors of judgement and life teaches us lessons.

I wonder whatever happened to Chris, I remember the last time we ever spoke he talked about pursuing his best friend (a girl) that maybe she was the one for him. I hold the memory of Chris and the friendship we had in high esteem, and his sister Jen she was awesome also she was a lot of fun to talk to. He was so sweet, so funny and a beautiful person as I remember him. I hope that he is happy no matter what, I hope his business is doing great and that he is still the fun loving great person I remember. I think I only have one photo of him somewhere in a chest packed away somewhere. 

Wherever you are Chris, I hope you are having a great life and that you are happy.

Another day, another sunrise and another smile 29, December, 2008

Mum (mom for those North Americans) collapsed on the floor in the kitchen yesterday. We had been sitting in the lounge together watching the news; she had complained that she didn’t feel very well. I got her some water and told her to just lay down for a bit until her dizziness went away. I closed my eyes for a second and didn’t even notice she had gotten up. I heard some moaning from the kitchen and I just ignored it because I am so used to her always moaning when she feels unwell…. I know it sounds harsh but I will explain… then suddenly she screamed and her body hit the floor… I yelled out “mum!” and my sister ran out from her room and we both started to do first aid on her as she lay on the floor faced down. She had bitten her bottom so she was bleeding a little. She kept saying “im so sorry for putting you girls through this, im sorry that ive ruined your life so young by having to look after me, I feel like im dying slowly inside so please forgive me for not been the healthy mother you should have had”.

I kept telling her it would be ok, that she was fine,  we took her BSL and her Blood Pressure they were both fine so we are unsure what caused her to collapse. We picked her up and laid her on the day bed in the lounge, gave her a little more water and calmed her down.  My sister went back to bed as she had a shift at the hospital later (lucky she is a nurse).  I stayed with mum all day and all night until she fell asleep.

I feel a little guilty and I feel bad that my reaction probably doesn’t seem normal to some people. Mum has been ill, critically ill, since last December. So for 12 months now I have lived a life of constant alertness. We have been to the brink [of death] and back with her for 12 months now it has become almost routine and so our reaction isn’t as “over the top” I guess is one way to put it. I do worry when she gets bad but im not so worried that my first reaction is to stress you know what I mean? Ive just seen her get to the point of appearing like she is dying and then she doesn’t that its just almost part of the daily routine sorta speak.

I spent most of the earlier part of this year not sleeping due to looking after mum and been alert and concerned about her health. We finally fell into a routine of her daily treatment and its part of life now that it doesn’t seem to bother me too much. My sister still cant really handle what happened I think, she cant handle the routine and the life so she will be moving out early 2009 that means that most of the care my mum requires will fall on me, but I am not scared Ive kinda been doing it all along anyway.  Finally since around November of this year I finally started feeling like I needed to get my life back and started to go out a lot more and enjoying my time. Mum does encourage me to go out and enjoy my life.

Its funny though that generally most people who go out do not worry about a family member been at home and in the back of their mind aren’t always thinking “I hope they are ok”. Whenever I go to work, when I go out with my friends, when I go out shopping without her, when I am just hanging out with friends, even when I go to sleep the truthful honest fact and question that I have to live with every day is “will I find her alive when I wake up or when I get home?”.

But she has survived another year which has surprised everyone. I am glad though. As much as I would like for her to be around longer, I know how much she suffers and she herself has had to sacrifice; her job, some of her hobbies, so many things that mostly can be summarized as her independence. For as long as I remember my mum has always been fiercely independent no matter what and for her to have lost that has been very hard for her. And that is painful to see. I encourage her independence a lot now, I did wrap her up in cotton wool at first but I had to learn to let go, trust that God will take care of anything and no matter she will be ok with us or with Him. So here is to another new year, all I ask is for Strength, wisdom and love to endure whatever comes this new year, to know how to handle all the situations that arise and that no matter what is going on love is abundant in my life; through my family, friends and yeah my selfish indulgence and wish is to find the one that is meant for me after all, life is beautiful no matter what happens and its great to share it with those you love.

A letter to “The One” 29, December, 2008

The following article I found and loved. It was posted by Marylusanne and her blog address is: http://marylusanne.wordpress.com. It was written encapsulating I think almost every person who has been waiting and is waiting for their match to finally arrive. Brought a tear to my hopeless romantic eye hehe. Enjoy and visit Marylusanne site so that she does get the credit for it

A Letter to the ONE God has prepared for ME December 22, 2008

Filed under: LOVE — marylusanne @ 3:11 pm

I found this wonderful letter and it’s address to God, I dunno if my sister wrote this or not. But anywayz, i would like to share this letter to all of my SINGLE  friends particularly the Girls hehehehe… This letter has inspired me that somewhere, somehow, one day God will lead us to the right Man we have always dreamed about. =)                            

I am  wondering at this very minute if  you are thinking of me, if like me, you are wondering what is taking us so long to find each other. Many times I thought I finally found you only to be disillusioned by the fact that my wait has not yet ended. I get up each morning hoping, dreaming, longing to meet you. I am thinking of how we will meet, would it be as romantic as the ones I have seen in movies? Or is it possible that I have known you all my life but we have yet to realize that we are meant for each other?

Sometimes, I ask myself if I ever really known “LOVE”. I do not have the answer to that question either but I believe that, more often than not, we will never known what love is until we find the right person…

You just don’t know how often I dream of finally knowing what it feels like to be in your arms. Even at this very moment I am imagining how you will simply sweep me off my feet. Perhaps I would be drawn to you by your smile, or your eyes, or maybe even how you manage to make me laugh by your silly little ways. I dont really know for sure but I am praying that God will help me recognize you when the right time comes…

I think of all the things I have been through in the past and of how much I have cried. I just wanted you to know that I find my strenght in clinging into my vision of the beautiful life ahead of me — the life  I shall spend with you. In my mind and in my heart I know that you are worth all the pain and sacrifice. After all, the tears have become part of my life.

I wonder if you’ve gone through so much pain as well. I wonder if you’ve been hurt so many times along the journey. But my dearest one, please don’t ever give up because I am right here, patiently waiting for you…

At night, I utter a silent prayer and send my cries to the heavens above. Hoping that in time they would reach you. And when I feel impatient, I just close my eyes and believe that you are on your way and that you are longing to see me as well. You are always in my dreams… It seems that, for now, that is the only place where I can hold you. Long enough to make you feel how much I want to be with you. You would just kiss my fears away… Just wrap me with your arms. And this, all the more, makes me want ot wake up and face the new day ahead of me, with hope that soon enough you will no longer be a dream but a reality…

 And when that time comes,  everything  will fall into place, just as i had imagined, just as I thought and dreamed… And just as I believed it would be. By then, I would simply look back and smile at all I have gone through, in spite the pain and amidst the simple joys of life— and I would be very thankful because they all led me to you…

In the meantime, take care of yourself for me. Believe in your heart that we will find each other no matter what happens. God has planned the course, and it is up to us to follow the directions. Dont worry, don’t be afraid of getting lost… God sees to it that all roads, no matter which one you choose to follow, leads to me…

#1 – Stop Being Afraid 29, December, 2008

 I think im afraid..very afraid…

I know plenty of guys, I meet guys at parties and get-togethers, I talk to guys who talk to me when out and about who strike up a conversation with me (they are not necessarily trying to pick me up its just chit-chat that happens). I am not necessarily scared to talk to men or be friends with them…. No one, NO ONE that ever meets or knows me believes me when I confess that with guys i am attracted to that I am shy, because im not shy to talk to people, im confident when talking to new people. In my job as a mediator I deal with CEOs and Company Directors and their lawyers etc one to one on a daily basis, i have no problem with social interractions of any kind….. But I realized today that I am a big woos and scaredy cat… I am afraid of been hurt by the next guy I go out with and fall for. I know I shouldn’t be afraid, I believe in showing love no matter what, I know what everyone tells me – that I shouldn’t be afraid, I know all the clichés that go with that. 

But still I am scared, I am afraid. I am afraid because I know that I will love again just like I have before and im afraid of being hurt again… all I want is the right one that will know me (get to know me) and see the good there is in me and appreciate it, see how my close friends and family see me, know me how I know me and see that I am a great person inside and out and love me like I deserve and love me the way I will love him. but i wont rant on.

I am hopeful and positive that it will happen.  Maybe I am just PSM-ing and im getting all emotional for nothing hehe.

I must keep trusting, keep living the social butterfly life I have been living, and one day it will happen. In the mean time that little fortune cookie that assures me the right one for me is just around the corner better be right…. I just have to stop been so afraid.

 

Patiently waiting for my fortune cookie to come true..

Christmas is here!

 

Well, today is the day the teddy bears have their picccnniicc…oh wait hang on wrong song… Jingle Bells Jingle bells…thats the one..

 

Today is Christmas Eve. It will be a little special to me because I have my mum (mom) with me this year. This time last year I was preparing to lose her and, as morbid as it might sound, I was making preparations for a funeral…. however… thank God with the help of the doctors and a health system in Australia that isn’t completely defunct, she has managed to live and smile for another year.

 

 

 

 

I came into work early today, 7.10 am because it is Christmas Eve and I want to leave early and go into battle to do some last minute shopping before Christmas at IKEA…yes I am going into the gauntlet that will be IKEA. Am I going to do last minute Christmas Shopping you may ask? No. I am going to buy ME presents… I have been waiting for 3 months for new shipments of this storage contraption I seem to be fixated with want and its supposed to have come in this week. I have my IKEA bag with me in case I accidently put some other stuff I might accidently like and accidently knock it into the bag for purchase. After all as they say prevention is better than the cure so by taking my IKEA bag it is preventing me from knocking things on the floor that might have accidently caught my eye and accidently got caught in my hands …you get my drift…

 

Tomorrow’s plan?

Sleep in.

Go to Christmas service at church in the morning

Cook Christmas dinner with all the trimmings

Watch my favourite Christmas movies/cartoons that are on the box

Make my Christmas presents (yes people are getting Christmas presents from me Home Made and oh so delicious! You will see Arabian Princess they are coming! )

Enjoy the day with the family.

 

So Merry Christmas to everyone, God Bless!!!!! I really hope that Santa brings you all the pressies you want and that God brings you all the love, happiness, joy and fun you deserve. Drink be merry and make a stranger smile while you are out, you never know how much they might appreciate it! As Maya Angelous said (and I paraphrase), “words themselves are intangible, but their intent seeps into the clothes you wear, your skin, your hair until it reaches inside you and touches your heart”.

 

My response to Your Beautiful Life 23, December, 2008

I got one of those forward emails that’s supposed to be inspiring and all that crap. As I read it I kept responding to it in the following way.

1)      Take a 10-30 min walk every day, and while walking smile

Yeah smile reallyyyy excitedly at people like you are about to tell them the most exciting thing they have ever heard then stop smiling and walk away, they will think your mad

2)      When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement “My purpose today is to annoy as many people for fun today”

3)      Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6

You mean dedicate my time to changing diapers and listening to incoherent  babble? Yeahhhh that sounds fun..

4)      You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagreements.

I disagree with that! There I had the last word, I win.

5)      However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

So brace yourself cause it’ll get worse

6)      Your job wont take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will.

Yeah especially if they know or suspect they are in your will.

Men, again, why are you so confusing!? 23, December, 2008

Well well well Mike raises his head again. For those of you who may not have read previous posts, Mike was a guy I met while overseas for a few months and whom I dated for a little over a month before returning to Australia. Mike features in my Push Pull Men posts quite prominently. He disappears for a few weeks, I do not contact him either and suddenly out of the blue he shows up again.

 

Last week I went to dinner with my friend Shaz at a top Perth restaurant (restaurant review shortly coming) and because a friend ours Matt is the head chef there he came out had a glass of wine with us and chatted towards the end of the night. We took photos together and there was a lovely one of Matt and I – guess we looked like a couple in the photo. Unfortunately we are not a couple, I would be all over him if it were not for the fact he is 21 and hence a little too young for me and has a lovely girlfriend whom he has been with for 6 years. So my friend Shaz posted these photos online. Mike is on my contact list.

 

I had not heard from Mike, nor had I made any efforts to contact him because as ive previously said I know I deserve better than been a girl he chases when he thinks that another guy might be interested in me.

 

I open my email and he writes “hi, saw the photos of you online, they are good, you look nice. Guess you have been out a lot and having a good time. Hmmmm The food looks good at that restaurant that guy must have good taste since he took you there. No need to tell me everything, I can figure out who he is from the photos. Im sorry ive not been in contact, I guess it isn’t fair on you. I don’t want to know who this guy is so no need to tell me. LUL (love u lots). Mike”

 

Ahum… well…… firstly Mike, Yeah i have been going out a lot with my friends, i love my friend and love spending time with them, and yes Matt does have extremely good taste or the restaurant would not have won a recent top national award for his menu im sure his girlfriend is very proud as we all are. Secondly, I wasn’t going to explain myself to you or who he was anyway but thank you for alerting me to the fact that you don’t want to know. And well thanks for the LUL. At least thats what i thought as I read it, i didn’t reply to that email very much. My reply was just “ hey hope all is good, thanks for the compliments on the pics, it was a great night have fun talk later.”

 

See I don’t have time for men who do not make time for me. No more push pull men! You want me? You care about me? Then please just show it because… i’m worth it.

Why are men so confusing? 22, December, 2008

My friend Pete and I met over a year ago, we met soon after my ex boyfriend and I broke up. We were flirty at first and talking a lot, we never went out on a date or anything like that and I thought wow what a nice guy I could really like him. One day he started talking about how he wouldn’t mind us sleeping together, and he wouldn’t mind it if I took some hot photos of me so that he could have them and I told him “I would only do that if we were in a relationship together” and his reply was “I work too much to have a relationship” and ever since then he changed, he isn’t the same attentive person he was before, the calls while I was at work, the emails etc.

Love can be an awesome sight... but it can be just as brutal

I know he works a lot and travels a lot that he isn’t really based anywhere, I understand that. All he wanted to have someone he could get his rocks off with. It wasn’t going to be me. He is back home now for Christmas, he did call me but what I didn’t get was why he called me if he never asked me how I was, what I was up to, was I seeing anyone the general questions you ask a friend you haven’t seen in a while. After 2 mins it was all me asking the questions and I got tired of it. So I ended the call pretty quickly. Why would he call to say hi, and then really not say much at all after that??? Im so over it. I don’t have time for this. I am happy to be his friend but what is the point if you just sit on the other side of the phone not saying anything and all the replies to all I asked consisted of ‘’oh ok” “why” “not really”. What is the point? 

Why do some find their right one so quickly and so young and the rest of us have to just go through so much and just keep the faith and hope? But it will…. Eventually…. When we least expect it… we will…

Stuff Latinos Like (by Ironchef24) 21, December, 2008

I wanted to link this post to my blog  but I am so techno-ignoramic and hence couldn’t link it so I decided to copy and paste it on to a post in my blog but just let you know where I got it from. A person by the name Ironchef24 posted it on http://stufflatinoslike.blogspot.com. I thought it was quite funny and so true. Hehe.

When it comes to brand loyalty, Latinos are blood in and blood out. To hell with Snuggle or Downy, Suavitel is official fabric softeners-spic approved. Feminine wash? Summer’s Eve?!? No no mija use Lemisol. And when it comes to groceries leave all that other crap on the shelf because it’s all about Goya baby.

Most supermarkets separate their aisles by product types so in aisle 1 the sign will read “Cereal, Syrup, Oatmeal, Pancake Mix.” Aisle 2: “Bread, Cookies, Crackers and Juice.” Aisle 3 simple reads: “GOYA.” That fact that Goya is the only brand name with their own Aisle in every supermarket across America is a true testament to the power of the Latino dollar. You don’t see a “Kellogg’s” aisle or a “Nabisco” aisle, that’s cause gringos ain’t ride or die like that.

From rice and beans to cooking oil and garlic powder, Goya has
cupboards on lock. If Goya made a soap, Latinos would lather up and proudly walk around smelling like salchichas. And with tasty soda flavors like Coconut, Tamarind and Cola Champagne, 50 Cent may have been better off doing his VitaminWater deal with Goya instead ofCoca-Cola.

The reason why we go so hard in the Goya aisle is simple, cause ourmothers used it. And god forbid she sent you to el “super” with a listand you came home with that “other” can of Gandules, mijo please. Goya O Boya!

 

 

Hopeful Romantic 21, December, 2008

There are moments in time when I am watching a movie or show in Spanish and I think about how beautiful and great it would be to turn to someone next to me and be able to share the moments with them… preferably would love to have someone who speaks Spanish as well… might just be wishful thinking. But it would be nice. Really looking forward to the right one finally appearing J

Questions never to ask your boyfriend 21, December, 2008

1)    Am I better-looking/smarter etc than you ex?

Would you want him to ask you that? If he answers yes to your question, you’ll prob think he is lying and if he answers no, you have to be prepared for that answer, be sure you can handle the truth. He is with you now, not her, so don’t even go there.

2)    Do you Love Me?

If he has said the L word, then he does. There’s your answer. If he hasn’t said it and you absolutely have to know where he stands – then you might start by telling him how you feel about him rather than putting him on the spot with such a needy question.

3)    Can You Lend Me Some Money?

A few bucks is fine, but asking anything substantial like a down payment on a car or a month’s rent is unfair.

4)    Are You Cheating On Me?

 If he innocent, he’ll resent the question. If he is guilty chances are he will lie… even if you had your suspicions  or info to back up suspicions, if you’re wrong your relationship may never recover. A wise Arabian Princess once told me, “it’s fine until it’s not”.

Mail Order Husbands… The other option? 21, December, 2008

I was searching for blogs to read on love and relationships and stumbled upon (no seriously I did stumble up on it) the following website: www.mailorderhusbands.net/ss/ ………..i am not entirely convinced this is a legitimate site, but if it is, it’s a little… unsettling? Concerning? Funny? (though I feel reallyyyyyyyyy horribly guilty for chuckling at some of these – I have tried so hard not to laugh but oh my gosh I really hope it’s a joke site or I may have used up any good karma credits I had and will prob get punished for finding amusement in this site). If it’s a real site, then I don’t even really know how to react to it.

I am no supermodel but neither am I totally over looked by men, I think im pretty ok, just like any girl there are parts of me that I know could be better, but how women and men, more commonly, sign up to mail order partner websites I cannot fathom.

However, if you are a lady in the market looking for a mail order husband, I think that this website might be for you.

 A man goes to a mail order wife website and they get some real hotties – yes these Russian, Asian, African, Latino and Eastern European brides are just after your passport or green card if you will but they are hotties! Young, nubile hot women who are willing to put up with smelly, ugly, reject men that no woman in their own country want , for a price. Now for women who are willing to pay to get a husband (God help you) here is what you will have a choice of……..

One of Hundreds of Success Stories Thousands of couples have found happiness and companionship through Mail Order Husbands, Inc. Including Arlina and Mark…

Date: July 1998

Scenario: Arlina had an urgent case. As a result of a self-imposed deadline of being married before she reached 33, she knew that she only had a few weeks to meet and marry her man. With few legitimate prospects in her remote location, Arlina turned to Mail Order Husbands, Inc. (MOH)

MOH is used to these situations.

Arlina met her husband, Mark (right), through the MOH print catalog. Their affection blossomed when Arlina sent for him in his homeland of Latvia. Mark’s understanding of English is rough due to his learning disabilities, but they are both fluent in the language of love.

Oh Love Oh Love…Where art Thou? 20, December, 2008

I think the cupid working on my case is still on vacation

Yeah well another Christmas all by me self… At least this year I am not totally sad about it. I have my family but its not what i mean. Of course I would love to have someone special or better yet, the one with me right now but I guess he is still out there and we haven’t crossed paths yet. I went to church tonight and sat near the back towards the middle of the row. At my church at the commencement of the service we usually have this bit called “meet and greet” and the pastor that welcomes us all then for a minute or so you say hello to the person next to you and you might have a little conversation. Well to promote the friendliness among people the pastor says “you never know who you might meet at meet and greet, John and Catherine are getting married next week and they met for the first time during meet and greet, so to all you out there, im actually talking to the single people of course, you never know who you will meet, you might end up marrying that person in a couple of years time” So as he is saying that I look around and to my left an old Asian couple, to my right is a single mum (mom for you northern Americans) with two kids, and in front of me are two couples in their 30s….. i giggle to myself and think well I guess today isn’t the day for me haha.

On another note… Im so scared, I have an audition for the worship team in January sometime… I want to sing up on stage as part of the choir/worship team, I used to always belong to singing groups but the last few years ive not been singing and I think I sound crap… soo whyyyy am I doing this??? why am I auditioning??? I don’t know! But I want to be part of that team… I told Lisa (coordinator) its not like I want to be the  one singing with the microphone on my own…. I just wanna be part of the group… but noooooooo still have to audition.. “its just to make sure you sing in tune”.. urrghhh  Im scarreeddddddd …  maybe I should just do some singing lessons first before doing the audition.. I just have to keep practicing… sigh… maybe if I threaten to leave the church if I dont get in they will let me… worth a try? hehe

18 kids and counting! 19, December, 2008

Arkansas mum gives birth to 18th child

13:05 AEST Fri Dec 19 2008

                                                               

American woman Michelle Duggar has given birth to her eighteenth child.

Are you serious? 18 kids and they are only 43 and 42 years old???? I think there is a misunderstanding here, it is claimed they love kids, I have my money on the fact that the husband probably has a fetish for pregnant chicks. The fetish is sooo great that he keeps getting his wife pregnant and as the good wife… she obliges. But 18!? And most of them are consecutive..come on, its gotta be a fetish.  I bet they are either Mormon Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or Bethren or some sort of super anti-contraception religious people – or they could be your people Arabian Princess but he only has one wife as opposed to 4 …in Arkansas? Doubt it! haha – they have used up most names of the books in the bible to name their children. Maybe that’s it! They are trying to have enough children that they will all be named after the books of the bible… so 18 down.. another 43 odd to go. If you look carefully at the photo it appears that some of the kids are wearing name badges..Guess you got to when you have such a large family its easy for the others to forget whos who and if you are related.

 A note to my future husband: YOU’RE DREAMIN if you think I’m going to give birth to 18 kids.

An Arkansas woman has given birth to her 18th child.

Michelle Duggar delivered the baby girl by Caesarean section on Thursday at Mercy Medical Centre in Rogers. The baby, named Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar, weighed 3.26kg and was 51cm long.

“The ultimate Christmas gift from God,” said Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the 18 children. “She’s just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters.”

The Duggars now have 10 sons and eight daughters.

Jim Bob Duggar said Michelle started having contractions on Wednesday night. She needed the Caesarean section, her third, because the baby was lying sideways. Jim Bob said both baby and mother were doing well on Thursday night.

“We both would love to have more,” he said.

The US cable network TLC broadcasts a weekly show about the Duggars, called Seventeen and Counting. Chris Finnegan of TLC – which handles public relations for the Duggar family – said the show’s name would be updated to account for the latest addition to the family. He said TLC also will air a show on Monday on the baby’s delivery.

Jim Bob Duggar is 43, a year older than his wife. Their oldest child, Joshua, is 20.

The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jordyn-Grace, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 17; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 12; Joy-Anna, 11; Jeremiah, nine; Jedidiah, nine; Jason, eight; James, seven; Justin, six; Jackson, four; Johannah, three; and Jennifer, one.

“Our whole family is excited about Jordyn’s addition to our family,” Jim Bob Duggar said. “She’s just perfect in every way.”

Just taking a walk 12, December, 2008

I think I avoided an early end to my days. I went down for a short walk to buy some bread this evening and was approached by two Irish guys and one came up to me;

Irish guy: “excuse me do ya have a cigarette?”

Me: “no sorry I don’t smoke”

Irish guy: “are ya sure?”

Me: “yes sorry, I don’t smoke”

Irish guy: “well then how bout you come up with me and me friend up to our room at the backpackers?”

Me: “oh that’s ok, I have bread to deliver”

Irish guy: “I think ud have a good time, just come up with us for a bit just a couple hours im sure your friend  can live without the loaf for a few hours”

Me: “ no thanks, but you go enjoy your night… “

At that stage a cop rode over near us, he must have seen these guys approach me and not leave me alone as he rode slowly on the road next to where I was walking and the guys decided to cross the street and go a different direction..

Homicide…avoided… thanks Mr Cop Sir!
