Friday 29-09-2017 – TDK Café Honours Confucius Day

Good morning–KJ, I LOVE the second pic and I believe it to be true! 😆

I’ll bet it’s nippy in your neck of the woods, because it certainly is here too, but refreshing. The cats love the windows being open and sniffing the breezes, especially the one by the bird feeders, LOL! When birds fly in and out of the bushes by the window, the cats hunker down and sometimes run away acting like they fear for their lives!

Morning all! …. nippy is a figment of my imagination at the moment, as it promises to be 95+ today, and muggy as usual! I’ll be lucky if we get below 80 by Christmas!

Son flies back from Egypt on Sun. today he is riding a camel and visiting the pyramids …. can’t wait for those pics! Yesterday he toured the Suez canal reno …. oh the life of those millenials!

Caddy has turned into a wet food fan (finally), with her favorite flavor being what I call ‘stinky tuna’ …. cause it gives her major tuna breath! LOL …… of course, Abby and Son’s girls love all wet food!

Hi all – busy couple of days at work; there’s always something new I need to know. Of course, as soon as I get home, there are hungry cats, and when they’ve eaten, they expect lovin! Huey has been awol for breakfast but comes around in the evening. He knows I save his breakfast for him! Oh and now Mama Cat and Dewey have lost their collars, sigh. Might be worth seeing if the shelter can get them at a reduced price for which I can reimburse. It’s getting pricey buying 2-3 from Amazon every other month.

Nice day here in Jersey, and cooler. Though it feels nice, it means winter is coming. Hoping to get to some fall cleanup this weekend.

Paws up ! MS is in the Cafe – briefly.
PG, great to see that you have escaped to your nephew and that a navy buddy was able to detour to come and visit you. Positivity = healing.
I can’t stay at the moment, I harvested all the beets from my garden and they are cooking prior to pickling in jars for some and freezing others. The smell is superb.
We are still getting rain at least once a day and everyone is so over the wet stuff. Nothing outside has time to fully dry out before it’s wet again, the lawn is mossy and the paths are turning green and the decking will need a darn good scrub down once we get genuine dry weather. The lawns are growing as the lawnmower man mows them. It’s crazy.
Well I better go and deal with the beets, my hands will be such a lovely bloody colour if I can’t find some gloves.
He he he he he he he

Confucius jokes are silly and fun, but please don’t say “Confucius say”. Confucius was one of the most literate men of his time, anywhere in the world, and would never have made such a blooper of a grammatical error in his own language:

Confucius say what? Whitewashed by the colorblind

As for English, it didn’t actually exist so long ago; there were many West Germanic dialects that combined with early Celtic dialects and colloquial Latin to different degrees, eventually forming such languages as English, Flemish/Dutch and what became German (not forgetting Yiddish and many other stateless or minority Germanic languages).

The silly jokes are just as funny if they begin with “As Confucius says”.

Yes, I know, and I most certainly wasn’t accusing you of being in the slightest racist. Just that the “bad grammar” (in English trope) can be very upsetting. The jokes are just as silly/funny if Confucius speaks in the translated words of a great scholar.

Yes, but cats would have to form a lobby group to fight that. Fat chance!
