Are as comfortable in front of a camera as behind one? Being written about, as well as writing?
Photographers, artists, poets: show us DISCOMFORT.
I am actually quite shy by nature till I get to know someone. I am always the one behind the camera. Since I am married to a non shy hubby, he is always in the limelight.
Hmmmm
He is the creative advertiser in our family and I am the blogger.
Here are what a few early morning Daily Prompt Writers had to say:
My hubby has a special nephew.
He can be a bit overwhelming at times.
He is now in his thirties. He lives with his mom and grandparents.
My hubby says that I am funny when I deal with him.
I insist that he uses respect.
His family says that he can’t remember from day to day.
I disagree.
It is funny that he can now remember that when I answer the phone, the only way he can speak with his uncle is to call him by Uncle, not his first name.
When I answer, he knows that if he does not, he will not talk to him.
Today he called with the request for me to look up a word and give him the definition.
The word was does.
Forty five minutes later, I hung up the telephone knowing that he finally understood the meaning.
I took the time with him, using the word in sentences.
I also got across the point of various tenses, pronouns and verbs associated that were confusing him.
I did not have to do this.
I could have just hung up the phone after I told him his uncle was sleeping.
It did not take away from my day at all to spend the 45 minutes with him.
He was happy when he hung up.
He was no longer aggrivated like he had been when he first called.
I never asked why he needed to know.
I decided that the can of worms that had brought on the frustration just needed to be calmed.
By his being satisfied with the answer, his day will now be better.
He will have a calmer day.
In turn, so will the others who live with him.
Why this could not have been done on his end remains a mystery.
Perhaps a dictionary for Christmas will be a nice gift.
Sometimes all a person needs in life is to know that somewhere they have a friend who will listen…
Since we did not get the email from Su Ho Woo till really late at night I had waiting till this morning to update on his status.
Here is the note that he sent us:
I am in Shut-In state park MO now!! my fingers of left hand barely move so hard to type OMG
I camped in north land btw 2 lakes and I made Cape Giradeau in a day!! I had to ride a rocky road in a mountain in the dark though. Luckily I got a host over there!!
I miss you guys~ this state park is new, has wifi in the store, and I was too tired and rode enough today
fortunately, I just met a bicycle traveler so I can share a spot!!!!
I got you some photos
the road which seems that it had flood is state park in metropolis and blue bridge was scary!!
I will send you future photos when I get a change!!
bless you!! Tammye and E!! half Korean man
Even better he enclosed pictures for me to share on my blog.
We wish him well on his journey. We are praying for his safety and that people will meet him and be kind.
We are glad that he found another bicyclist to spend some time with.
This will encourage him to carry on and finish his journey to Los Angeles California.
The one candid appearance of me lol was at the Korean Restaurant “New Korean Restaurant” in Clarksville, Tennessee.
I am usually the one taking the pictures.
That makes for very few pictures of myself in my gallery.
Facebook has recently come under attack for failing to enforce its own guidelines on hate speech and violent imagery.
Face Book
Is it a website’s job to moderate the content its users post, or should users have complete freedom?
That is an intriguing question. I have tried to post a few videos from You Tube that are on our own site and Face Book has come back and told me no. I thought that there was monitoring of the website. Did the people who used to monitor have to find a new job? There is a filter that is available for the site whereas you can block out certain items such as nudity and pornography or violence. Has this filter been removed?
Is there a happy medium?
There is usually a happy medium to all situations. It may not be the expected outcome, yet a compromise on all sides does help the situation.
If so, how would you structure it?
Hiring more employees who have a specific job might be a great place to start. I understand cross training as it helps a company when it loses employees and someone else is pretrained in that field. The employee can slide into the alternate position with ease and not feel the pressure of a new job. The company continues to run efficiently. Perhaps Face Book should look at how the employees are structured and look at a new scheme in the work place. Losing 15 to 20 employees at the same time does hurt a company. That is when restructure is necessary.
It might mean that the CEO and the Board take a few less vacations abroad. They might want to listen to their employees and see where the internal problems lie. That seems like a smart place to start.
Here are what other Daily Prompt Writers had to say:
Where should we explore first? Since I have found several new bloggers and readers of my blog.
My head is swirling after writing the Weekly Challenge lol.
http://quilltakesflight.com/ is a new blog site for me that I found quite interesting and spent time reading. I hope you enjoy it as well.
We decided to treat Su Ho Woo to some authentic Korean food so we took him to a local restaurant in our area for a buffet where he could get everything from fresh seafood to Kimchi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi
The New Korean Restaurant is located at 2030 Ft. Campbell Blvd in Clarksville, TN and their number is (931) 645-6479 since you can do dine in or carry out. They are open seven days a week. Monday – Thursday 11-10, Friday and Saturday 11-11 and Sunday 1-9.
I will let the pictures do the talking for me.
It was good to the last drop. We came home and sat around a fire in the pit that is on our back patio until time to go to bed, just discussing the different cultures and various topics.
This morning, I made sure that he had a big breakfast to start him out on his journey
Along with juice, eggs and toast he was set to prepare for his journey.
Hubby and Su Ho Woo went over his travel route so that he would know what elements and conditions he could expect. Also what routes to follow that would make his journey easier.
Just before his departure he surprised us both with a gift and something to always remember him by.
We miss his presence already and wish him a safe journey on his quest. He is going to try and check in every so often to send me pictures and keep us updated so that I can blog about his progress across the USA to Los Angeles California.
Should you see a lone biker out there with flags, stop and say hello. That might just make their day. It might enrich your life more than theirs.
May we show him kindness the entire way of his trip.
God Bless him for his quest and for what it stands for.
This afternoon, while my husband was on his way to the local store, he passed a biker on the side of the road. Many people during the course of the day, I am certain passed this same biker and thought nothing of it. My hubby quickly ran his errands and then proceeded to find the biker on his way home.
What had caught the attention of my hubby was the small flags that were flying on on back of the bicycle. He invited him to join us in our home for the evening.
His name is SuHo Woo. He is riding from Washington D. C. to Los Angeles California on his bicycle to signify the need for peace in South Korea.
He is soon to be 30 yrs. of age. He is fascinating to sit down and converse with. Only certain sections of the country have given him a cold shoulder and have not shown a welcome hospitality to him. Shame on them. They are the ones who missed out.
He is a true gentleman in all aspects of the word. Very polite and respectful. He had lunch with us of pulled pork, southern baked beans and southern potato salad from a local restaurant. He was able to taste some real Southern style foods that come directly from our area. Davie’s Hot House B- B -Q (1754 Woodlawn Rd, Clarksville, TN 37042) if you happen to come to the outskirts of Clarksville and are hungry some time. They are only open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Plan accordingly.
This is going to be a long journey for this young man. It is a way for him to clear his head and look bright into the future. He has overcame back injury through exercise and the biking is something that he truly enjoys.
He also has his camera so while I was snapping shots, I had to capture memories of today for him as well. Tonight we are taking him to a local Korean Restaurant as a treat. My hubby is just as excited as Su Ho Woo. It is one of my hubby’s favorite places to go. I will be taking pictures throughout the meal and will blog about it upon our return.
He is staying the night with us and will continue on his journey after I have fed him a hearty breakfast to give him plenty of energy for his ride.
Best of luck to Su Ho Woo and his journey as well as the cause that he rides for.
Between our store for Tupperware and answering phone calls for MikeFest 2013, we have been super busy today. We are on our own type of road trip on a quest of trying to track down the last few vendors to make our total arrive at 30 on premises Vendors who will be at this years event.
We are inquiring about fresh honey vendors in our local area who might want a booth. There is an entire association in our area so we are hoping for a response before we become full.
We are still looking for an Avon representative (Hoping that we have found one).
We are looking for someone who hand makes Americana Items.
We are down to the wire now with June 8th starting into the count down..
Will continue the A-Z Challenge Road Trip tomorrow…
Sixteen days on the road is a long trip. Since I had planned for this to be a cross country trip in a way, to last at least 30 days that would put us at our road marker of the midpoint.
My grander scheme was to do this for a year. I am not certain if I have the steam to do that. Time will tell. Can I make it interesting and vibrant enough to keep readers attention and drive to want to come back each day to see where it has gone or will they fade from boredom?
My first stop is a blog site that is new to me and I have enjoyed the wonderful photography:
Next stop is a shout out to someone who wrote a poem to his wife as a gift for their anniversary:
http://ivonprefontaine.com/2013/05/22/marriage/ I felt compelled to mention that as the Daily Prompt today was about “Jealousy” and there is obviously nothing like that going on in their strong relationship.
