He is selectively deaf. Whenever I point and say "Go to bed" he looks at my finger as if to say "Who is Fred?" I have often used this selective deafness when I don't want to hear something. He is courageous. Whenever he sees a cat in our garden he looks at me and then hides in his bed. Again, a quality I have often admired in others. Cowardice and running away leaves you to fight, or run away, another day. He only responds to food. Give him anything and he will eat it. A sentiment after my own heart. If it is not edible then it's not worth having. That's what I said when my wife bought me a new tie for my birthday!!!<br /><br />Now the serious bit: It seems to me that in these days of computers and social media everyone wants to be a celebrity and write something about themselves - including me. Why do they, (I) do it?<br /><br />I have seen on social media things written by family and friends that they would not have dared say to me in person. Things like - "I have had a terrible night last night. The baby was up crying all night!" And my reaction is: "So what? Are you the first person to have been kept up by a baby? What about all those mothers before social media existed? Do you need to tell the whole world about your petty problem?" Or another tweet: "I am having a painful period right now. That time of month!" Is it really necessary for that person to tell one and all about this? Or - even worse - "My husband is in re-habilitation once again about his drug and drinks problem!" Did the idiot who wrote this consider the effect on her husband. Did she not think about his employers, friends and family reading this? <br /><br />So there you have it. Idiots should not be on social media. My dog told me so.<br /><br />God bless. Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
