It’s Almost Not The Weekend Anymore….

1) In honor of the weekend almost gone, Miserable Men, which has been making the rounds in both US and UK press this week with varying pictures from the same collection…. Proving (on an almost-Monday) Even When You’re Miserable You Can Make People Smile. Interestingly not a few (fine, nearly all) of these involve men being dragged along to go shopping.

Like so.

All big department stores should have them.

2) The Prodigal Daughter by Rev Dr William Wan. Terrifying in the Do Everything Right And Still Get Taken On This Heart-Wrenching Parenting Journey sort.

“…There was absolutely nothing we could do or say to her that would make any difference. We watched helplessly as she slid away from us into a world of teenage drug and sex counter-culture. We knew we had lost her, both emotionally and psychologically….”

Leaving home on her 16th birthday, pregnant at 19, her love for her own son when she tries to raise him, sends her back to school at 21 to be able to give him a better life.

3) Not really one for Scary Halloween, love Dress-up Halloween, but some of these make up ideas are amazing – because of the 3D view the makeup artist has of their subject.

Basically I mean this. 3D to 2D

And this. Nuff said. (Rockstar says he can see her chin).

4) Hands down the best Halloween costume ever, ever, ever however is this:

71 year old grandmother battling cancer knits herself new hair. I think she tweets, too.

Hazel has 5 microchips from being in numerous puppy mills. (She also had her eyes removed due to pain.)

6) Chinese being a “notoriously difficult” language to master in adulthood… Why Mark Zuckerberg Studies Chinese Every Day.

In article, Zuckerberg says he’s learning Chinese to better connect with his wife Priscilla’s family

7) Not for everyone, but if you ever think you’ll be in a startup then this one-pager is a good skim… Liquidation preference need-to-know.

8) For more people maybe… How to dominate at Monopoly using math.

9) Miss has the skit, with a cameo by Rockstar, in Not To Be Outdone…….

While the Miss steps away Rockstar shall play…

Miss returns and is surprisingly unperturbed (she can get mad when you meddle with her stuff)

….And insists and having the last say in blocks.

Good work week ahead, dears…
