🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for the suggestions, and most of your posting prompts remind me that I miss having unlimited data wi-fi because these would all be great 3Speak video posts. I often avoid topics that I can't easily produce some original images for, but all the subjects you've mentioned would be easy for me to write about.

Honestly, there are plenty of old images I could use to post about topics that you've mentioned, but I have a secret, I haven't organized my photos and folders for years, so it's really hard to find something quickly when I need it. I've been putting this off for far too long, because I know it would take a few days to complete, and I don't want to chip away at it slowly.

I will save these ideas no doubt, and I do need to come up with some motivational/incentive ideas for Mey-Yii. I can see there's a bright mind within, but it needs to be challenged to flourish, and right now her very limited attention span is the hardest thing to deal with. She's getting more and more used to conversation, but still doesn't chit-chat really, just asks yes/no questions. Growing up in this village is dysfunctional enough, but top it off with her troubled history, and she has the deck stacked against her.

I quite enjoy housework, especially cooking and cleaning but I don't get to do it as much as I'd like to because of Hive responsibilities and also my wife can't share the ASEAN Hive workload.

The fam has just arrived back home, but the staycation was well received, got lots of rest and along with lots of mixing slow work and play.

Haha, I am strange because I enjoy cleaning, cooking, and other housework, I think because I have lived alone for many years of my life. I think the thing I like the least is making the bed because I have to do some acrobatic moves, so my wife always makes me do the bed 😁.

I am honored at your reasons for enjoying my blog posts, that is my aim for each post even though sometimes the train goes off the rails. When I am here alone I worry about to go the river by myself because of potential dangers. I saw some tourists swimming nearby yesterday and took the opportunity to swim near them for safety, although they didn't know that 😉.

Cheers my friend, thanks for stopping by. Mey-Yii is our neighbor's granddaughter, but the grandma is the guardian because her mother abandoned her. The grandma also abandons her often for days at a time because of a gambling addiction. There's a nearby Chinese casino on the Thai border, and it has caused a lot of social decay because the locals aren't educated enough to avoid life traps and vices.

Mey-Yii stays at our house up to 6 nights a week, and she's quickly becoming like an adopted daughter. My blood boils when I think of the grandma, but these situations are always delicate in such a small village.

Job interview? Exciting stuff, I hope you get it regardless of the salary or circumstances. I sense you need come change in your work life, and even if it comes with a salary cut, it might be better overall for your mental health.

No worries at all Dave, I don't think you've ever left an idiotic comment, at least not one that I didn't enjoy 😆. The Airbnb seems like a much better idea, customers that make a booking will have already read the description and aim of our place, and things like taking your trash with you when you leave will be something people know long before they come here. The Cambodian customers never separate trash and recyclables, and even after an explanation of how to do it, they get upset as if it's just too much work.

The worst is they don't bother to separate organics from the trash too, so I have to dig through bones and rotten meat just to separate cans and bottles, something that repulses me a bit, and it stinks too. I think people that make online bookings would also be more likely to eat something we can cook versus bringing store-bought foods that leave behind a human-sized bag of styrofoam and plastic trash.
