Strange folks abroad

My people, there are some strange folks around. That’s a mighty fact. Strange folks abroad.

You know them. I know you know them. I have met a few of them in my time. And I am sure you have too. Strange, strange, strange. Straaaaaaaaaaange folks abroad.

That loose mouth friend that talks about you all the time behind your back. You know it, and other people know it, but you never ever quite got the proof.

The people who say the nastiest horribliest things. Just. For. The. Sake. And feel nothing. As you struggle for breath.

The person who knows things about you. Many things. Things you never knew about yourself. You are awed by the psychic power as they fill in your memory ga(s)pses in your life.

Your best friend for life, who never gets you any help. Nada. Never. The one that everyone goes to for help. The one that gives help to everyone. The one that knows where you can get everything and where you can find anything. But never when it’s your need. Never in your case.

The today your pal, tomorrow your enemy person. It’s a “wrong side of the bed scenario” that you will never understand.

The unavailable. Never available when you want to meet up with them, but requires that you be available when they need to see you. And sulks if you dare deny them their emergency right to you.

The bouncer. Always always bounces. Be it a call. A drink. A meeting. A delivery. And they always have a good reason. Always. And you never meet them. Or get the goods.

The shadowy lovely wonderful honest, full of integrity person. Totally transparent person. Except the constant little niggling rumours. That they never resigned from any of their previous jobs, but were “advised to leave”, for reasons unknown. That they had a child when they were in high school, that no one ever saw.

That somewhere they have a spouse and child/ren. No proof at all. But the rumours never quite go away.

The blockhead. The one who who never understands anything. Ever. Directions. Plans. Plots. Novels. Books. Nada.

The constantly on replay mouth. Tells you the same story over and over and over and over and over again ad infinitum. And every time they tell you, you tell them “you have told me this before”, until one day you snap. And do something “what happened”.

The unoccupationed. The person that no one knows what they do. You all see them. All the time. All the places. No one knows what they do. Where they live. Where they come from. Where they go to.

The vague person. Who does nothing. They do not work. They do not have a business. They are always busy. Coming from meeting someone at somewhere and going to the next place, next body. They tell you they have mad hectic days, all up and about, but you know not what they do. Or what they do.

The uncalculatable. Their life just does not add up. Or subtract down. You do the math. Where they live. Who they live with. How they live. What they do. Who they do. And it just does not add up. Their one plus one looks like minus five or plus twenty.

The traveler. Person who disappears. Every so scheduled often. Or makes a journey. E very so scheduled often. Where they go. Who they see. How they see. What they do. Who they do. No one knows. Will ever know.

The person who knows everyone. Everywhere. All the time. They walk into any room, any time, any place, any town, and they know someone. You wonder what life they are on right now. Eleventh?

The person who never picks up their phone but always calls you back. Shareholder in phone company? You wish. Why can they never pick up the phone? Busy persona? Expecting your gratitude that they managed to squeeze in a quick call to you in between their back to back appointments. As they dot-not with KOTs and take a huggie.

The chameleon. Whose past changes, depending on who they tell and when they tell it.

The corrector. They know everything about everything and can never ever ever EVER be wrong. At all. They are correct all the time. Their knowledge is fact. And they correct you.

Strange strange folks abroad.

Remain normal.

What Madam requires

https://www.vectorstock.com I work as a domestic for my Madam. I look after Madam’s big family and her big house. I tend to Madams big garden and her big cars. For Madam – everything must be big. She herself is big. She is also big on ambition – both professionally and domestically. Which is where I come in. Today I had a review with my Madam. And she reminded me of her expectations and requirements regarding my performance. Some requirements were new, some she was just recapping. In my own words and in no particular order let me tell you what my Madam expects. My Madam requires; I am all-knowing. I must know everything that happened during my watch - where the bumps on the children came from and where her yellow, blue and green scarf is. She wore it yesterday and left it in the laundry basket. I am omnipotent - all powerful, invincible and able to do what is inhumanly impossible. I should make her 2 year old eat all 6 meals every day, an

Of panty lines and such other

Truth be told, as one woman to another, your panty line cutting across your baytock is not a pleasant sight. True story. And no, I am not jealous. Truly, I really do not care that you have a big bum. And yes, my backside is minuscule, a peanut of a derriere. I am not well endowed in my nether regions. And still I am not jealous. Lets talk about us, the small haunched women. As the world goes gaga over the well endowed grogan ciandas, we too have drooled [in an appreciation of God’s creation kind of way and not on a sexual orientation manner], coveted those mahagas. We have each come to the realisations that, “my fundamentals is small ya?” We have told ourselves that “not all good things come in big packages” and “small is good too”. And with that admission has come acceptance and soon an appreciation for our pint sized rear My bottom is small. And to add injury to insult, it has a bad shape. It has dents on the side. And these dents lend gre

Gal, before you get hitched....

Yeee!! You are getting married. Marriage is beautiful. You are in for a great ride!! Exhilarating and thrilling. Here is what I think you should know...... Marriage is an official arrangement. That demands some bureaucratic process and hunting for certificates and signatures from various authorities. Parking your backside on a man’s 4x6 bed and squeezing your underwear next to his in the bag hanging off the mobile wardrobe door is not a marriage. Even if you have four children. And it does not matter what the constitution says. Marriage happens when a man publicly stands up and says it has happened. Until that day, you are just a woman he sexes, a woman who bears his children, but is not good enough to marry. Before you marry, you know nothing about marriage. You have watched marriages. You have read about it. You have gone for pre-marriage counseling. You still know nothing about marriage. You will find out about marriage when you are

I will write on my table

I am a creature of habits and routines. Some good, some nasty, some neither here nor there – Rouge Deck thing with a crimson pool, that I nearly took a tumble into. Future wise words to self – wear flats on deck. lukewarm, which I hear is reviled in some quarters. One thing is, I do not often go into some spaces. Like the food, fashion and furniture affair at the DusitD2 space – nice, with its with its Rouge Deck thing with a crimson pool, that I nearly took a tumble into. Future wise words to self – wear flats on deck. Food was good. The mushroom fritter like bites dipped in a ricotta and something and dip were divine. I shamelessly munched on them in bunches of three. I told the bites distributer to via me every 5 minutes. Very obedient. I stopped counting at their fourth stop. Meanwhile, I was informed that the word divine is bougie bougie and to stop using it tout de suite. I did. Will never speak it again. Only write it when I meet the mushrooms again. Th

Once upon a time you had a friend

Once upon a time you had a friend. And you were good friends. Then, like some good things, the friendship came to an end. There was no dramatic fallout between you. No hurled insults and abuses. No nothing like that. Just a longer time to respond to a greeting, and an increasing number of missed calls. And time. Time happened in between you. Sometimes you think about things from the other side of the friendship. And wonder if it was a deliberate decision to move on. But then you reason, it doesn’t really matter why the friendship ended, what is important is the fact that, once it was there, and then it was not. Then months later, or maybe years later, your former good friend turns up, and attempts to slide back into your life with a ‘Hello Stranger! How have you been?” smiley kind of electronic message. And you are thinking, “Stranger? Me? You stopped engaging in calls, sms or emails. You came to my part of the woods at some point, and there w
