So the Man fell at my Feet!  |
|
Yes he did! I was at the Post office as I had to send a registered letter by mail from my office. There were so many people there collecting letters and I was idly wondering if my friends on Mylo still used a post office now that bills can be paid electronically.
Well, in this country there is never a queue of people who remain silent and reserved, so it got interesting as people started to shout across to each other and exchange news. I realised yet again, that this is one of the most pleasurable things of my adopted country. No political correctness and people can get right in your face with their questions. 
Then someone said that a tourist, actually, a 'half neckid foo foo white man' was out running and he looked like he was about to drop!
So we looked at this very sweaty, other side of 50 man, wearing only shorts (already his skin was burnt red) puffing along at 11.50 am and not even holding a bottle of water. Come on! It's the tropics! People put up umbrellas (called parasols) to block the sun)
So he dramatically fell at my feet and apologised. Without thinking I said, Please don't apologise, I've had men falling at my feet all of my life!
The crowd roared their approval and in no time, one lady who was selling wash rags, wiped him down, another lady who works in the post office got him a chair and yet another person produced water and told him to just takes sips. All the while he was receiving advice on the danger of too much sun and how to dress if he was so foo foo (foolish) to even want to run in the midday sun.
As I offered to take him back to his hotel, I was pushed to the front of the queue to register the letter. On the way back I told him that it was a no no to run without a shirt or peaked cap and to bring plenty of water. When we reached he asked if he could take me out to dinner tonight so I suppose he was suffering from a little sun stroke too!
So, what has happened to you so far today?

1. dawnald (10603) | 4 months ago | That's a great story! No men falling down at my feet today. The most exciting thing was letting Dearra change the CD from PP&M to the Beatles. So, you going out with him?:-)

cynthiann (3194) | 4 months ago | Yeh, right! Look how the Mr. Obama issue got me chewed out!
| |
|
|
dawnald (10603) | 4 months ago | Yikes, yep it did a little bit. Now if you had come in and said, "I bet the number will be 6", you probably would have been fine.:-) But never mind the Obama haters, I appreciated your response.

dawnald (10603) | 4 months ago | PS and one of his friends came by too, so I had to threaten him with Supernanny...

2. Shar19 (2801) | 4 months ago | You certainly had an exciting day so far. The question is: did you except his dinner invitation? Nothing exciting has happened with me today but there's still time.

3. malamar (511) | 4 months ago | Wow cynthiann, you have more excitement during a trip to the post office than I have in a month. Haven't had a man fall at my feet for, uhm, well... never, actually. Who knows though, it could happen tomorrow. Of course, that would mean I would actually have to leave the house!
| |
| |
|
|
cynthiann (3194) | 4 months ago | Yes, it can happen and yes, you would have to leave the house! I see that you are from Canada. I went on a cruise last month that begun tin Brooklyn and then went to Boston, Newport, Maine and then onto to Canada - St. John's and Nova Scotia. It is 6th first that I have been to your country and it was so amazing. I wish that I could have stayed and certainly could have lived there. So delightful and the people were so kind.

5. katsmeow1213 (4948) | 4 months ago | Never a dull moment in your life, is there?
Not much for me today, just did some shopping. Really tired though and think maybe I'm not feeling 100%. I can already tell I'm in no mood to handle what the children will be throwing at me tonight!! Thank goodness hubby is out of work at 6 tonight!

katsmeow1213 (4948) | 4 months ago | No, I don't take vitamins.. they're pretty expensive, and I'm no good at remembering to take pills! I don't normally get sick all that easy, but it's been hitting me hard lately. I'm going to try to go to bed early tonight.

cynthiann (3194) | 4 months ago | Can't you get qualified to get some under some health scheme? Probably not as you would have done so. It could be that you need iron. why don't you go to a pharmacy and ask the price of genetic vitamins that contain iron? They may sell them by the dozen so you could take for two weeks and see if there is an increase in your energy. Let me know as this could be the cause. I will pm you late today or tomorrow on this.

katsmeow1213 (4948) | 3 months ago | No our health insurance does not cover anything sold over the counter... even if the doctor gave me a prescription to get some, the pharmacist would tell me to take them off the counter and purchase them! Even if the health insurance did cover them, it only covers like 50%, so that doesn't help a whole lot.
I've had my iron checked in the past, it's something they made us do when we were on this program called WIC. I'd have it checked like every 6 months and it was always at a very good level. I haven't done that in about 9 months though because we went off WIC.
Besides, like I said, I'm terrible about remembering to take pills!

10. christylynn (1895) | 4 months ago | WOW sounds like you had an exciting day, I cant say I've never had a man to fall at my feet. Not much happened today for me I had a sick child so I had to stay home today because at the kids doctors office there is a well side and a sick side and if my husband took her in he would have to take our baby as well if I went to work and I didnt want the baby going in on the sick side so I stayed home with her and worked at home today while hubby took our oldest daughter in she seems to be doing fine tongiht which Im glad for that the doctor seemed to think it was some kind of 24 hour thing.
