Annoying Habits – Stay out of My Boundaries Please

Sheldon knows it all

Take sports, family, animals or anything people feel passionate about and mix that with people and what do you get? You get the best and the worst of everybody. When people get passionate they sometimes lose their sense of boundaries. Before you know it, you get bombarded with all this passion and unwanted comments. It feels like being shot with a BBgun loaded with unsolicited advice. Read more

Technical Malfunction

No words needed

Some things will never let you down.

I am suffering from a major technical malfunction. It was all going very smoothly and then bam …. I ran into to technical issues way above my head. As I don’t not have a human trade quite necessary in such situations, which is patience. I made some radical adjustments to my blog site. And now patience has its revenge as all I can do is to wait until the people from the help forum get back to me. Read more
