From Big Showers to Missing Forks

[msmoon]

This is perhaps the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I’d gotten accustom to the fact that no matter how nice the room is, something will invariably go wrong, and you will long for home. Not here. Last night the shower I took was awesome, and I’d be willing to say that it was better then some that I’ve taken at home. And the bed? Ok, 4 big feathery pillows and a very very sturdy yet comfortable bed to sleep in...that’s hospitality. So over all, considering this is just Holiday Inn and not a Holiday Inn Express (which, would make me smarter), I’d have to say this is the best hotel stay I’ve ever had.

That being said....you know, I think there comes a time in everyone’s life, at least once but sometimes more often, in which you encounter something so sophisticated and different from what you’re used to dealing with, that it makes you feel a little...or a lot stupid. Sometimes it’s a computer or technical gadget. Other times it can be something more simple that you’ve seen a thousand times, but this time it’s design is slightly different and thus it confuses you.

It took me about 15 minutes last night before I could figure this shower out -..-’ I was very excited about the prospect of taking a shower, but then as I got to looking at the tub...I realised there was no push/pull lever to turn the function of the bath tub into a shower. I looked around the room. I sat in the tub. I inspected the shower nozzle. Heck, I even inspected the drain. Nothing that I could see to turn this tub into a shower. Finally, I’m sitting there in the tub and I notice that the nozzle on the faucet rotates >..> I twirled it around...I pushed it up, nothing. So, I figured, I’d go ahead and shave my legs and get ready for a bath since the shower thing was still eluding me. After my legs are smooth, I turn on the water and then decide to fool with that faucet again. While the water’s running, I can pull down, and when I do - Bingo! Water starts coming out of the shower head. I was elated, but by then I felt like a fool for not trying that first! :D

Oh, and you know something? We go through our busy lives marvelling at the great big things in them that make them seem so grand.....I’d like to take this time, to pay homage to the humble fork. The fork is a useful tool, we use one every day. Still you don’t see anyone saying “Thank goodness for forks!” (unless they're a Twilight fan). So, here’s to you Fork. I had to do without you last night, and it made me see how valuable you are in my life.

That’ll be all of the early morning ranting, folks. My travel-lagging, sleep deprived brain has been overruled by my empty stomach. I’ma go scrounge up some breakfast and see what there is to see today. Later, Sunshines.

You Have a Grudge Against Your Family

You are very quick to forgive your family for wrongdoings. You don't expect them to be perfect, and you try to help them out whenever it's possible. You have confidence in your family to take care of itself and make good decisions. You especially have this confidence in the younger generation. You still feel resentful for certain things your family has done in the past. It's hard for you to forgive and forget. You tend to be the rock in your family. You support everyone in their times of need, and they take your advice seriously.

How Do You Really Feel About Your Family?
