#BlogLife351 - Stop! Badger time!!

Didn't you just love that song? MC Hammer's Stop hammer time. I just wonder why we as women are badgered constantly.

As if the answer we gave is just not applicable to some of the male brains.

Why don't they accept it and move on, as we do? If I asked some guy for his email address and he claimed not to have one, in this day and age, I would laugh and say okay.

I know that he is lying but just doesn't want to say, actually I prefer not to hand it out, which would gain more respect but I wouldn't latch onto him and say....

Oh come on, it's just an address, a method of contact, change your mind and give in....That eventually gets annoying really fast.

I wouldn't even take it personally that he didn't want to hand it over. I would just shrug and think, you don't ask, you don't get.

Why do males think we are so wishy washy that after the 4th time of demanding their preferred response, we'll automatically relent and volunteer our secrets or preferences??

What makes me laugh is that we are expected to stay chill and even tempered after being hassled throughout the night but the only way, they actually quit if is we shout and forcefully tell them to knock it off.

Why does it have to get that to point? Where I am that agitated, it ruins a relaxing atmosphere and turns it frosty.

Recently it was because I didn't want to meet some random because he wanted a fling or at least something just physical.

I much prefer stating I don't do meets, rather than. If I am completely transparent, here is my private thoughts...

I would possibly consider meeting up in person, if there was some genuine emotional connection and it was steady for a few months.

I'm not saying I would definitely do it but I think it would cross my mind at some point.

He would have to be local, not in my town, but area certainly, as I can't travel far and it isn't fair to keep making him come to me. 

He would have to be single, no complicated entanglements. No kids, no separation, no crazy or chummy exes, ickity.

He would have to be a good listener and understand that I have severe limitations and that's going to affect mingling because of my exhaustion also.

Of course a voice that I find soothing so I can tell him about my day and he can unfrazzle me, which means he has to be a talker, less of a texter as I get more enjoyment from that.

Someone that makes me laugh, instead of me being the entertainer for the majority of the time.

Someone partially open that can divulge the basics and in time the rest.

Just an honest male. This is the type of guy that would appeal but I don't think he exists because people keep claiming the above but invariably fall short!!

#BlogLife317 - Friendly or friendless?

Listening to stormy weather during heatwaves definitely helps trick the brain into thinking it's cooler than it actually is.

All I'm doing is constantly sprinting to the kitchen to swap icy bottles of drink.

A nice tip is storing the undiluted squash bottle in the fridge so even if you run out of cold water, you can still have a chilled drink. 

I need mine ice cold as by the time I have a few sips, the ice has melted and it's warm again ick.

I just rubbed a few ice cubes on my face, neck and arms as the tray was emptying and I wanted to refill it. It felt sooo good.

My body is not feverish anymore but I can feel it climbing slowly again and the nausea is still coming and going.

I was just thinking about the different sets of people, some are attached to their phone completely and constantly checking for missed messages and calls..

While others are more laid back and pondering....Hmm I left my phone somewhere but I'm not sure where and I don't need it, I'm not going to search for it yet.

I think getting to relax away from stress has inspired me and I feel energised and at peace.

I guess I wonder why some people panic when they've missed an alert and scramble to respond, even when they are crazy busy and it's not in anyway urgent..

Unless I've been waiting for a response or I am at a lull, I don't reply straight away. I may read it and think hmm, later but I drop everything and hasten to respond back.

Is it an obligation thing? Do you assume the person can't wait? Do you feel rude, ignoring them, while you deal with your responsibilities?

Do you get the impression it makes you a bad person or friend?

That's why for calls anyway, I firstly enquire if they are busy or not? Or if another time is better?

I have no hard feelings towards them, if they say, actually I'm tied up, later would suit better, unless they always say that or..

If they only ever repeat those words to me and don't do the same for others because then it is just taking me for granted.

Which is another trigger for me as that is a pattern of behaviour I have experienced a lot.

The person will say sorry I have to do this and that and the next minute, text saying.....

Oh I just talked to so and so. It was so enjoyable, we discussed the plans for blah blah blah.......

At this point, I'm sighing, throwing my hands in the air and thinking, what am I? Dull......?

You could have just had the same conversation with me. Everyone knows when it's a choice between texting and calls, I pick calls, unless I'm saving my battery life ha or you don't have a nice homey voice..

My question is this, would you rather have a phone that didn't stop pinging with calls, messages, messenger alerts and voicemails 24-7 or would you rather it hardly buzzed?

You can't cheat and have it in between :D For me I like the peace and quiet.

I don't have people going moody on me because I'm not in a sociable mood or I didn't respond to their idiotic forwards.

I do not miss those at all or being flooded with silly pictures!!
