Life in a Low Cost Labor World Hi Jian Shuo, If you do not mind, can you post some contact numers of companies that I can call if I need a part-time AYI for specific cleaning jobs. I like your comment and understand the fundamentals of your argument and agree that such people should be given a chance. I just happened to have a need and was talking about it with my husband last week when I saw your blog today. Winter has been very long and cold this year (we are expats and are not used to such a chilly winter). As a result, we avoided cleaning our yard (open-air). It has become quite dirty and we are thinking of installing windows to solve the problem and minimise the dirt. The contractor is scheduled to come in next week and we hope to arrange for an AYI to come and help us too. So it was good timing to see your comment about this topic. Thanks in advance ! Lotus |

Two Cats in my Garden Hi, I just saw your Nov 4 posting on the 2 cats and cannot resist writing. Wendy and You both have kind hearts. I am glad they walked into the right garden even if it was to hide from the wind. My family and I have always believed that when cats/dogs come to your home by themselves, it will bring you good luck especially when you return in kindness by deed to them. There is a Buddhist saying:- "Probably in your past life, they must have helped you before, which is why now, in turn, you have an opportunity to help them back." However, if you are a Christian, please do not take offense at this sentence. I am just trying to highlight that you are doing a very kind and compassionate deed :-) However, if you have decided to include Huahua and mummy as part of your family nucleus, the food you feed is important. The best as what Carsten said is dry cat food because I used to have a cat and we fed him rice plus chicken and fish for many years. After about 10yrs, we realised that the lack of certain nutrients in the diet caused him to have health problems. Aftr consulting a vet, we switched to proper cat food in can form (as it was softer and more suitable for an older cat with medical problems) and that helped him relief most of the health problems trememdously. Cats are very loving and intelligent animals. If they used to be strays whereby they have experienced hunger and bad treatment from strangers before. They will know how to appreciate your kind gestures. They will bring lots of joy and laughter into your family as you get to know them better. Wishing Wendy and you lots of fun and joy in caring for them ! Lotus :-) |
