Q: had a BCD this past, festive month?
ever had one like mine?
I have a stick ... a very handy stick.
Have you ever had one of those days,
when you are holding a stick
and every Chinaman looks like a PINATA?
Yeah, we call back home "winter depression" , cause of lack of sunshine and beauty spring is still far away.
I am actually looking some some nice hard stick, which can last ... Maybe we can have a walk together, with sticks in hands 
No offense, but you spend a lot of time talking about how you don't work. Are you retired or something? Stay at home dad? Over 60? What do you find so stressful about not having any responsibility?
BHGAL:
Yes I am retired … freedom 55 … I am 58 now .. my stress is all self induced.. 3 years not working sometimes make me feel guilty. Like why am I getting this pension cheque, I didn’t do anything for it this month. … I worked long hours and some pretty tough jobs in my time, it takes a while to learn to relax.
Working on it.
expatlife26:
Ok fair enough...wasn't trying to put you down or anything and thanks for answering. Glad to hear you got a decent pension. I'm 27, doubt i'll ever get that!
expatlife26:
and yeah regardless of what some politicians have to say about pensions and "entitlements" if you were promised a pension as part of a contract in lieu of higher immediate pay you are quite literally "entitled" to it now and shouldnt feel guilty.
I hate these people who act like retirees who spent 30 years in a union or something are just bums with their hands out. People like you met their obligations and got a pension and made plans for the future based on that expectation.
BHGAL:
I need/want some "potting soil" for my tomato seeds. Here, in China, it is not like I can just go to the nursery and get whatever I want, or to Home Depot and get whatever I want. It is my stress.... where can I find this stuff? my small town China is not like Beijing/Shanghai/Guangzhou,, but I get by and if all else fails....taobao as a last resort.
just a current example... potting soil.
