When did you last complain about the weather?
2008-06-09 10:16:00
This is in response to David McMahon’s Weekend Wandering post. Answer: last week, and the week before. And it seems with good reason. Weather in Singapore since the beginning of this year has been a little erratic compared with what we are used to of late. The national maximum temperature for period 1-Jan-2008 to 9-Jun-2008 is 37 ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "When did you last complain about the weather?", url: "http://ozlady.com/2008/06/09/when-did-yo u-last-complain-about-the-weather/" });

The Lonely Brain Cell [Joke]
2008-06-04 10:39:00
Once upon a time there was a female brain cell which, by mistake, happened to end up in a man’s head. She looked around nervously because it was all empty and quiet. ‘Hello?’ she cried, but no answer. ‘Is there anyone here?’ she cried a little louder, but still no a nswer.

Raisin Bread [Joke]
2008-06-02 10:18:00
A bakery owner hires a young female clerk who likes to wear very short skirts and thong panties. One day a young man enters the store, glances at the clerk and glances at the loaves of bread behind the counter. Noticing the length of her skirt (or lack thereof ) and the location of the raisin bread, he has a brilliant idea. ‘I’d like some raisin bread please,’ the man says politely. The female clerk nods and climbs up a ladder to reach the raisin bread, which is located on the very top shelf. The young man standing almost directly beneath her is provided with an excellent view, just as he surmised he would.Once she descends the ladder he muses that he really should get two loaves, as he is having company for dinner. As the clerk retrieves the second loaf of bread, one of the other male customers notices what was going on. Thinking quickly, he requests his own loaf of raisin bread so he can continue to enjoy the view. With each trip up the ladder, the young lady se...

Do you believe in “forgive and forget�?
2008-06-02 06:15:00
David McMahon posted this question as part of his regular Weekend Wandering section. Short answer: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Long answer: Forgiveness is important - we would not be able to live together as human beings if we didn’t forgive, however I don’t believe in forgetting for a number of reasons: When we try to forget it’s almost impossible. If it’s an issue that is very important to you, then it will probably bubble to the top more often than you intend. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try and ignore it, if you are trying to pursue the relationship, however deliberately forgetting may be impossible. Not forgetting is a safety mechanism we have in-built - a way of saying ‘that hurt me before, don’t fall for it again.’ That doesn’t mean we won’t forget, and I believe that this occurs when you have overcome the incident, when trust has been returned, and perhaps even whe...
