Lunch at Recipe House

What's Up?

I am up. :(

Am having one of the busiest weekends and I woke up at 3.00a.m. Yicks

God really has a great sense of humuor.

I can hear the chooks making noise and dogs barking.

Better go back to dreamland. Otherwise I will be a panda bear in a few hours time.

Compliments

Received two compliments today. Both had to do with remembering people's name.

People Are Often Unreasonable - Kent Keith

(Today I am reminded of this esp. the first one)

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

Penalty for Late Submission

Recently someone told me the penalty for late submission to one of the government departments was a certain amount of money (X).

But when the letter came, the penalty was only one—fifth of X. I do not know whether there was a mistake or not.

All I can do is praise and thank God.

I remember the following song we started singing in Canaandland Celebration this year.

What Can I Do

Verse 1:
When I see the beauty of a sunset's glory,
Amazing artistry across the evening sky
When I feel the mystery of a distant galaxy
It awes and humbles me to be loved
By a God so high

Chorus:
What can I do but thank You,
What can I do but give my life to You
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What can I do but praise You,
Everyday make everything I do a hallelujah
A hallelujah, hallelujah

Verse 2:
When I hear the story of a God of mercy
Who shared humanity and suffered by our side
Of the cross they nailed You to, that could not hold You
Now You're making all things new by the power
Of Your risen life

IMPORTANT : Women's Rights 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Received the following by email.

I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine. We were discussing the law and women's rights.

She told me about this incident - a young girl was raped by a man posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police station when she and her male friend didn't have a driver's license to show. He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to accompany him to the police station.

Took her instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed.

In fact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her....

It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6 pm and 6 am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station.

And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest.

It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use remains to be seen in any situation. But as they say, knowledge is power.

Just thought I'd share this with you. I did not know this and am sure lot of us will not know this - please be informed..... And pass on this info to whom all you know.......

Cheque Book

Apparently one of the banks in this country practices the following.

If a customer had requested the bank to issue a new cheque book but the customer forgot to collect it from the bank, the bank would not inform the customer. Instead the bank would burn the cheque book.

After that when the customer remembered the cheque book, it would be too late.

If the customer wants to request for another cheque book, the customer has to write a valid reason on the Cheque Book Request Form. Otherwise the customer has to lodge a police report.

I think this is one of the most preposterous things I ever heard in my entire life.

Just imagine if the customer is stupid enough to go to lodge a police report and when the police officer wants to record down the statement, the following conversation takes place.

Bank Customer: Sir, the bank told me to lodge in a police report cos I forgot to go to the bank to collect my cheque book.

Police Officer: Do you have any idea where is the cheque book now?

Bank Customer: Oh, the bank burnt it. They did not even bother to remind me to collect it after one month before they do so.

Police Officer: ???

Ground Nuts

This is how much I enjoy eating peanuts.

Whatever you give a woman ...

I like the following posted by a friend in FB.

Whatever u give a woman, she will make it greater.

Give her a sperm, she will give u a baby.

Give her a house, she will give u a home.

Give her groceries, she will give u a meal.

Give her a smile and she will give u her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what she is given.

So if u give her crap, be r.......eady to receive a... ton of shxx...

Post it on your wall if u agree! :D

Cheque

I wrote a cheque wrongly today. Shucks!
