I had calls that went to voicemail (because I did not recognize the caller) that were in Mandarin (presumably not Cantonese).

I do not have caller ID on my landline, so they get me every now and then..... but then.... I get them every now and then too..... sometimes its fun to make then hang up

 

[Wu Wei]

My usual response....
Qu ni de.

If I respond with Mandarin...they never shut up... then I have to hang up.....where's the fun in that

I never took much time looking over the selection of emojis available.



A gas pump emoji. I guess it might come in handy when discussing fuel prices.



Or an 8-ball emoji, to discuss the dangers of hanging around pool halls.



This was handy during discussions of the great toilet paper shortage of 2020.

His problems with the law doesn't make sense to me. They are crimes that a juvenile mind would think up. For the most part males pursue, and females accept or reject. To me, our identities are satisfied by this dynamic.......I would think drugging someone is way too dangerous....

Only things I can think of are a sexual paraphelia or he wanted the sexual benefits of a being a celibrity without risking his squeaky clean image.

Of the houses Mrs. Wu has bought, I REALLY wish she NEVER purchased the one in Canada. It is a HUGE pain in the neck when it comes to income tax time. They tell you you can't pay online....then they tell you that you can pay online then you try to pay online it tells you your info is wrong and then locks you out of the system...then you have to call them.... and if that goes as well this year as it did last year I have to DRIVE to the freaking great white north just to pay the stupid taxes... but wait..it gets better...they separate spouses taxes and I CAN'T pay my wife's taxes so we BOTH HAVE TO GO TO FREAKING CANADA!!!!!

I want to sell that house so bloody bad..... I didn't want it in the first place anyway.....

How to Tell Whether You've Got Angst, Ennui, or Weltschmerz​

Angst is the word for fear in German, Dutch, and Danish. It comes from the same Indo-European root (meaning “tight, constricted, painful”) that gave us anguish, anxiety, and anger...
...
Ennui is the French word for boredom. The English word annoy comes from an early, 13th century borrowing of the word, but it was borrowed again during the height of 18th century European Romanticism, when it stood for a particular, fashionable kind of boredom brought on by weariness with the world.
...
Weltschmerz, German for “world pain,” was also coined during the Romantic era, and is in many ways the German version of ennui. It describes a world weariness felt from a perceived mismatch between the ideal image of how the world should be with how it really is.

I like this Marilyn Manson quote:
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers.

Another great one from him:
It's too hard to hold hands when your hand is a fist.

I don't think I'd be able to last long if I were watching music videos and took shot everytime a video has a dead artist.

Looking at this Canadian tax mess....it appears the fault may be with the account Mrs. Wu hired...... first...Mrs. Wu is listed as Mrs. Wu...second I too am listed as Mrs Wu. Third and most important, the address and zip code, the accounted has listed on the form, is not our address, I believe it is her offices address.... still not liking Canada by the way
