Spring just sort of vanished - there's blossom all over the roads where the rain has lashed it out of the trees :) A memo was going around on Facebook from a conservation group about helping the bees - because it was warm and then got cold a lot of them sort of go into a coma and need sugar water to get them going again. Sure enough, the next day there was one on the floor of the landing, alive but just lying there, so we mixed some honey and water together and dipped a cotton bud into it and then slid that under him. He had a little feed and it was like his batteries recharged; he started to buzz and his wings started flapping and off he went outside to find some proper nectar :) Hopefully he's still going :) How's the weather like with you now, has it perked up at all?
Love Tup xx

I'm glad that bee is okay. It's finally starting to warm up around here.
Also, while I was perusing reddit, I spotted this and it felt so painfully familiar:
A Narcissist's Prayer
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did... You deserved it.
URGH! Makes me want to go back in time and slap a BEEYOTCH or three!

Argh, yes, I think a slap or two (or three!) is justified in some situations, the prayer is very apt! And crazy making, funnily enough I was thinking today about how there are some people you can't discuss a situation with because they won't hear anything except for their own version of events - which is different to yours. We do all take different perspectives on the same situations at times, I think that's human nature but yes, my mum is the queen of living in a world of her own making and rewriting everything that happened :) I remember once when we were kids listening to her tell someone these stories of family picnics and outings and all these wonderful adventures that happened and I was thinking, who's she talking about? And it was us! Lol. Only happened in her mind :) I'm glad the weather is warming up a bit, it's lovely here at the moment and I'm enjoying sitting outside with my cuppa :) xx

I know the feeling!
We've had a bit of a heat wave here with the air quality in Code Orange, which can be hazardous for asthma. Not fun. I had to be out in it as I had to go see the eye doctor the other day and ended up with having laser surgery on my left eye.
It's a drag getting old.

I feel like I need to SCREAM somewhere....I AM SO FRUSTRATED!!!!! :evil:
One of my cousins contacted me regarding my doing genealogical research on her behalf. I sent her a contract outlining all the terms, fees, etc., including the fact that a retainer is required to be sent with the contract. (She knows this is my home-based business.)
I thought she had read that contract COMPLETELY from top to bottom BEFORE signing it and mailing it back to me with the retainer.
What does she say to me a few moments ago? QUOTE: "I ASSUMED that (retainer price) was the TOTAL PRICE and don't copies only cost a dime apiece?!?!
WHAT THE FLYING F**K?!?!?!
That tells me that AFTER ALL THE WORK TO MAKE SURE THE CONTRACT COVERS EVERYTHING, SHE DIDN'T READ A DAMN THING!!!!
F**K!!!! F**K!!! F**K!!!! DAMMIT!!!!
I HATE IT WHEN IDIOTS AND A$$HOLES DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F**KING BLOODY H3LL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, Bones, there is nothing more frustrating than people not reading what's in front of them, especially when you've put it all out there so clearly! And when people say things like "well copies only cost x" - it's your time and expertise that counts not sticking something in a photocopier! Some people are just cheeky.
I'm sorry about your eye; I am so squeemish when it comes to eye balls that the thought of any kind of surgery makes my toes curl! I hope it wasn't too painful; is that the kind they do to correct sight or is it more to do with cataracts? I hope whatever it was for it has helped and not held you back too much since xx

Thanks, Tupp!
I get so aggravated when I put in a lot of work into a contract to make sure all the "i's" are dotted, all the "t's" are crossed, with everything clearly spelled out to ensure a meeting of the minds only to have the client not bother to read any of it along with comments starting with: "But I assumed....blah, blah, blah!" I HATE THAT CRAP!!!! I've encountered some idiots who tried to insist they shouldn't be held accountable to a contract they SIGNED simply because they didn't bother to read it BEFORE SIGNING IT!!! I recall watching Judge Judy, on television, ripping a defendant a new A$$HOLE when they tried that defense! It was NOT pretty! The defendant was ordered to PAY for the work that was done according to the terms of the contract that they signed!
The eye surgery involved using a laser because the doctor discovered that my retina had torn and bled. That was kinda-sorta an emergency to prevent my retina from detaching completely. Not fun either way and I had no choice.
