Ah, the immigrant struggle. It's as if you're being punished for wanting to find a better life for yourself in a new country. It's also ironic how these countries that scream so loudly about getting rid of immigrants, also demand so much money/fees from them! This year, I am due for the application of my 'Indefinite Leave to Remain' visa in the U.K. (which by the way the powers that be want to remove and extend to 10 years from the original 5 years eligibility because...reasons  ) Guess how much that's going to cost me? £3,029 per individual I am 'lucky' that I am only applying for myself. Imagine if you were a family of five, already struggling to make ends meet. So, the next time you see someone going about villainizing (legal) immigrants, please remember the cost and price they have to pay every darn day just for their right to enjoy the freedoms most take for granted. |

 Kiya's Random Thought of the Day Am I the only one who's terrified of eating at a super fancy restaurant where they bring out those plates with such small portions and the chef is just standing next to you waiting for your verdict and you're so worried that you'll finish everything in one bite? But then you're thinking - 'am I supposed to compliment him with each bite or after the whole thing is finished?' or 'heck, I'm still going to feel hungry after this.' or 'will he think me a glutton if I ask for seconds?' or 'if I do ask for seconds, will they charge me extra?' or 'come to think of it, did I actually just pay for the experience and not the actual food because I could have just gotten a burger and fries somewhere else?'  |
| My wife and I actually just had one of those fancy restaurant experiences. We had a ten-course omakase meal last weekend with limited seating (just eight of us sitting in front of the chef's work area where he crafted everything in front of us) and I can confirm - at least in our experience - the compliments are progressive with each course, we were definitely not hungry afterward, and no seconds were provided. People definitely tried to get them. It was definitely a "you're paying for the experience and the luxurious ingredients" situation. We were sitting next to a trio that clearly had fancy dinners like this on a regular basis. We thought it was a really special meal but, for us, it was definitely a "special occasion" type situation. We're more "burger and fries" people for most meals and nights out. That said, it was fun to experience something different, and the food was absolutely delicious!  |
Jeff  - well, now that's just plain ol' bragging, Mr. Jeff!  But then again, a 10 course meal?? I would not mind that at all, and it sounds Japanese as well, yes please! I have noticed most Asian countries, well looking at you South Korea, do love their side dishes, so if I did end up in a fancy restaurant catering to those cuisines, I am set!  |
Ah, I'm sorry. I just let out a silly laugh/giggle when I opened up the 'Creative' window to see that it is bearing an eerie resemblance to my Photoshop screen. Way to go, The StoryMaster  ! I love it! Who knows? Maybe you will actually create a graphics design program just for the site. Hint. Hint!  In other news that will not stress out the SM! I got my first paycheck today - thanks to the benevolent boss at "26 Paychecks "    Now note that cute kittens do not put food on the table, but I'll let this slide. It is the first paycheck after all. Better things ahead? Yes? Gotta work harder then! And in other good news! My non-reviewed items list seems to be getting shorter below:
Whoooohooo! My sincere thanks to those who have taken the time to review the items so far. I really do appreciate it!  (the goal is for this list to dwindle away slowly, so we're getting there!) And now, I'm going to try to catch up on some things. Weekend night shifts are a pain. |
Dawn Embers  - cats have a very independent minds and will do whatever they want whenever the mode strikes them. Growing up we had an indoor cat with long fur, very friendly and there was the outside cat (male) that would slip inside the house whenever it could. I would dress him in a large doll’s dress, push him in toy baby carriage around the yard. Oh he got his revenge… we returned home from family’s dinner out, battle cat had slipped inside house and was chowing down my b’day cake Mom had baked. Cat’s head was shoulders deep into the cake.

𖢻agapeཐིཋྀ  - Ah, no need for a reboot review! The first one is always memorable enough. Shoot, I can't even remember the first thing I reviewed on this site.  |
GaelicQueen  - Sounds like quite a spirit. JiJi actually likes to wear outfits. She had surgery on her stomach when she was 1 so I think the material gives her comfort. I've even found an outfit by my desk that wasn't there before like she was picking them out. She also likes to carry things around. She brings things up to me from my mom's room such as her sleep masks. They do have quite different personalities. Hermione prefers to hide in the closet or sleep near me, not much else. |

Hehe!! I wanted to make the Interactive something unique to WDC so I thought why not about our Fearless Angel Army leader! I have to power nap now, but later tonight, I'll be checking out everyone's entries, passing out tips and handing out Merit Badges! I hope everyone who's written a little something is having a good time with the Interactive and learning something new about the site!  |
Well, bad news...I've reached my quota for creating books/blogs with my level of membership. And no, I am not looking to go higher as affording that is not possible at this time. So, yours truly will have to figure out other creative ways to do collections instead of just creating folders. With that said, the rummaging through my port gave me a chance to see that 1.) I have written quite a 'few' things since I arrived on this here site and 2.) quite a few of these items have either been ignored or not given as much attention. Yes, I know my portfolio is all web page-y, and it might be difficult to see what's newly written, so I've created a single page to showcase those items that need attention below:
I will do my best to reciprocate the gesture when time permits, so please feel free to stop by anytime. I do not serve cookies and tea. |
Ðåvê R¥åñ  - Yep, there's a mechanical way to just transfer the entries between books. I was elaborating on a way to archive/better articulate their source while you're at it. If Kiya's anything like me, she probably has a lot of books with simple entry titles that make sense in the context of their own collection... but might need to be clarified in the context of a large catch-all book (if cataloguing those things is of importance to you). |
Happy Sunday, to all ye fine folks! Here's Kiya's Random Musing for the day: Am I the only one who sees a huge ol' house and the first thing that goes through my mind is: "It's a beautiful house and all, but... How the heck am I going to get all that cleaning done?" (P.S: Please note that these thoughts will not be going through the noggin if I was rolling in dough, and could hire all the maids possible to get the job done.) But otherwise! |
Join the Penguin Resistance!  - Yes, should there be a limit on the size of a home a person can have whilst people go homeless? Or perhaps just higher taxes.... |
