It was my dad’s birthday yesterday…A kind and generous man…
I remember once my dad was giving i and some friends a ride somewhere and one of my friends only had a couple bucks…my dad gave him a few without expecting anything in return…I think I was a bit insulted that my dad wouldn’t give money to me (I was 13 or so), but in retrospect he knew what he was doing…that was a kind thing of him to do.
so happy birthday to my pa…

I would kill for self checkout or at least an express lane at any of the markets here…
some days I go to Aldi for a sandwich and coffee drink (cost 2.18€), and I have to stand in line behind 8 old people who are doing their shopping during my lunchtime (jerks). then wait there with the 2.20€ in my hand as the old people put their groceries into their shopping carts or bag then pull out their wallets as if surprised that they had to pay…can’t you get the money out beforehand old people???
Funny how in a country known for the efficiency of it’s people and products that there are lots of little things that are very inefficient…Garbage collection is still done by hand as is mail delivery…At least the mail people have bikes as they go door to door to drop off the mail…
