It was kids' party time, my favourite thing on a sleepy Sunday. Today however was not the usual soul-crushing despair type of kids' party. It wasn't being held in a softplay for a start. This one was to be a pool party and it was an hour's drive away up North. Since Scotland is the size of a Welsh Welder's thumb, we would be practically at the top of it, deep in the Highlands. It was with great excitement we headed off. The sun was shining bright in the sky and the temperature threatened to get up to 8 degrees today. Indeed these were the best of times. We arrived. The parents, myself included, bustled around getting the kids out of cars and into the swimming pool. Soon they were in and shrieky splashing echoed boomed around the pool area. A hot chick dressed as a lifeguard came over, she looked about five foot ten and had a suntan. I instantly knew she couldn't be Scottish. Theyas a breakout chill room to the side with coffee and fresh fruit if you guys want to take a break until the party is ovah? Her voice pegged her as South African or Australian. Maybe Jamaican or Portuguese. She was definitely from somewhere. Oh cool. The few of us parents that had decided to stay headed into the chillout room. There were four of us. Two dudes, Myself, Raffles and two ladies - Salty-Pooch and Shrillery. The seating area was just a bunch of giant bean bags with a coffee machine to the side. Wisely I nodded to myself. I pretty much knew how this would go. We would flounder around on the bean bags before one thing led to another and we were all over each other's nooks and crannies. Being a parent is hard sometimes. Hopefully, we would get finished up and wet wiped down before the kids' party was over. Shrillery pulled her rucksack off and slid a laptop out from it. Good opportunity to get some work done. She smiled and settled herself down in a corner, pecking away at her keyboard. Raffles nodded approvingly. Great idea. I have a wee bit of work to catch up on myself. He somehow magicked a laptop out from somewhere and found another corner to tap away in. What the actual fuck? Were these people for real? It was Sunday. We were up North, surely to fuck we weren't all going to do work?!?! I looked at Salty-Pooch who smiled wickedly. No use wasting an opportunity like this! She grinned. I chuckled, getting ready to flick the quick release on my trousers. Sexy Party time coming right up. Although, it was always a bit more awkward having the sexy party when people were working nearby but hey ho. Salty-Pooch pulled a phone out of her pocket and unfolded it into a mini tablet. I love this phone, it means I can work anywhere. She chortled before settling down on yet another beanbag and started swiping and prodding at her screen. What the bloody fuck? How could this be? How could they all blithely just want to work in their spare time? Did no one want a shot of my boaby? Or at least a chat over a coffee? Deflated, I slumped down on a beanbag and pulled out my phone. There was no way I was gonna fucking work on a Sunday. No. Fucking. Way. The batvote signal dinged from Discord. It was an alert over a spammy bunch of bastards abusing the DTube autovote. https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@azircon/i-do-not-support-dtube-videos I settled down in my beanbag with a happy sigh. Looks like there was work to do after all!
Can you spot the lie in the above sentence?
I learned a long time ago from Tom Sawyer that the perception of work (or fun) is all in the eye of the beholder.
It very much is and this beholder things it is no fun!!
I guess if you’re working you think you look good and it stops you from having to talk to people you don’t know or don’t want to talk to 🙄🤣
Least you got some hive done?
Aw, brutal!! I bet that was it. They just didn't want to have awkward convos!! Gaaar. Next time I will take a WiFi blocker 🤣
Did get a fair bit of hiving though so all good!
I had a quick squizz at jammers and I think you'd have to be okay with being fairly blatant about it XD
I'll never ignore another bean bag party invite again.
Never do. The untold depracity will literally make your eyes fall out of your head on stalks that will then be upserted into vaginas in ways that will literally make you turn yourself inside out and wipe your new underside with flypaper!
Hahaha!
This world we're living in... sigh
azircon to the rescue ;^)
I wonder if he has a mighty steed that he can ride to the rescue on? :OD
The world is full of fandanos!
He sure seems to be the type who needs a mighty steed to compensate for something else...
Naaaaah, he just cares for the health of the platform!
What is up with people? I have been away forever and even though I have moments of missing being plugged in, everything except my extended family has taken a backseat. Okay, to be fair most of the time there is no internet, but, still.
I love Hiving, but, now I love it even more as it hasn't been available - but I will be home next weekend. :) Perhaps people don't know how to properly communicate anymore. I actually watched a honeymooning couple texting each other at the dinner table! What??? I didn't know it was a thing!
Hive isn't working, it is one of my guilty pleasures and it is part of my fun. If you call it work, it changes everything for me.
Hi, Boomie! Happy to see you enjoying the balm of winter in the Highlands. I am sure the kids had a great time! Whenever I got to swim in the winter as a kid, I thought my parents hit the lottery.
Hola hola hola milady!!!
It definitely isnt working or I would really run a mile!
Is the break nearly over? Do you feel all recharged?
I am always amazed that people go to such effort to scam or abuse when they could exert the same effort or less and try to do it legitimately and probably be more successful with the added bonus of not getting chased off. There is no accou nting for the terminally stupid!
Hello! Hello! The break has only a week left to it! Then back to reality. I am definitely recharged, but not ready to return. Life has been too good! If it was always this good, would we appreciate it as much? I would like to think we would.
Seems like there is a whole slew of new scammers in town. Sometimes it seems like the same, just reinventing themselves.
Hope all is well with you and all the little Booms.
We are all grand thank you!
You must be on top of the world indeed. I would not want to come back after a nice big fantastic cruising around the bahamas!
There is always a new wheeze for the same old faces to start scamming with. I am half convinced that some of these scams are just the same farmers all the time. One day there will be an effective solution. Hopefully. Even though that almost sounds a bit wrong!
The lie is that Sunday was sleepy, I guessed?
One like you has no sleepy Sundays is well known!
Well in the end rather than working and, since other Sollazzi did not want to dedicate ourselves, I am put in the costume and I would have gone to take a dip in the pool with the lifeguard eh eh eh
Haha, you are too clever for your own good!!
I should have taken my stuff for a swim but the pool was bedlam with screaming flying jumping children!!!
Thank you, you flatter me!
there are few of you who say that I'm too smart, actually only you said it.
My cat tells me from time to time but only when I put kibble on him so I suspect he does it for pure convenience and because he has a back.
Well yes actually too many children, I also think that the coefficient of piì in the water given the bedlam was very high lol!
My cat used to give me that your too smart look but like you it was only at feeding or treats time. I felt like a puppet in a cats rule the world movie!!!
Well I think that in the future cats will rule the world, perhaps assisted by baltte and mice as faithful servants... good to munch even in case of appetite eh eh!
What a scratchy and hairy world that would be. I would be an allergic mess :OD
And I'm also very allergic and I also have two kittens heh heh!
Oh well come on, let's go on antihistamines!
You didn't make a video for DTube then. Never been there, I thought it was maxed out to 1 Hive.
As for the trip to the Highlands... Seems a bit of a hike for a birthday party! Hope you fun in the end.
It was good! The weather was amazeballs yesterday although it seems to have defaulted to winter again today.
I don't think there is a ceiling on DTube. There is on dbuzz. So many D's!
As I commented under azicron's post, I already find posting a video, which has only seven days rewards life, unreasonable. Thus, users might abuse the platform.
If the posts had genuine interaction and the user was a part of the community I dare say no one would have an issue but it's just tosh that DTube upvotes automatically. Defo an abusers wet dream. Some of them have never even commented! Gits
Uf a different Sunday Mr. @meesterboom in the north of his country with pending work usually happens, the next time he suggests or negotiates "Please leave work for Monday, let's have fun today it's Sunday, let's take out our playful child please At least the children if they knew how to have fun splashing water...
The children had a whale of a time. In fact I think it was the best birthday party ever for them. And for me it was ok, just maybe not for the other adults working away like crazy folk!!
Sometimes I am really glad not to be a slave to the work!
☕🎸
Stumbled upon this song just now. How could I not think of you(r boss):
El Jefe
Hahaha, it sounds like a song that would send him screaming to the hills!! :0D
Perhaps you should play it to him, one time. I'm just not sure if you'd be interested in taking over the company and becoming the JEFE yourself.
It reminds of all those memes you see all over where it shows a group of people outdoors on a sunny day or in some interesting place together and everyone is on their tablet or phone. No one knows how to socialize in the real these days it seems. What a lost opportunity to meet new people and have interesting conversations.
Glad the kids had fun though and you at least had a little fun too going after those bunch of spammy abusers.
Indeed!! I asked to get a coffee and go outside and talk shit and swear and the like and everyone plugged themselves into the matrix!!
Twits!
When you can't beat them, join them I guess. Sad isn't it...when one adults, the fun goes away lol
I know. It was quite surreal. I mean, who does that. Life's too short!!
Pool party sounds the way to go.
It's the curse of the modern age... People always go for their tech, even when there's some type of keys-in-the-box type sex party possibility 😂
I was a co-host at my ex's 6 yr old party once, they had a bouncy castle.
It was a disaster... in that i basically bounced the party away drunk as a skunk. The kids loved it but a bunch of dckhead parents were being massive dick-ensians about it.
Parents tend to be dicks in a lot of circumstances. I can't stand most of em!
I was at a kids party where the host was offering beers out and it was only me and him that had one, the looks we got were ridiculous!
Yeah, that sounds about right. I wasn't the only one drinking at that birthday party, but to have fun bouncing on the castle.... a travesty.
A few of the parents were like "is he ok?"
As if i were a fckn nonce hanging out at a scouts picnic.
People are just knobheads sometimes, the kids were having a wail of a time as they'd figured out that if they jumped as i landed it would launch them into the clouds.
My ex's house was right by a main road and i often wonder what the local commuters must have thought seeing these kids bouncing up above the level of the wall 😂
Anyway, i got shamed off the bouncy castle after about 20 mins and poor Sofie (my step daughter who's birthday it was) stormed off in floods of tears. Once again, i got looks from the good folks like it was all somehow my fault.
I dunno, an adult having fun and making a kids birthday even better with my shenanigans... FCKN DISGRACE! 😂
An OUTRAGE!!
Yeah, I have been on the wind ends of the disapproval from other parents for joining in with the fun. Probably not for not working at the weekend. I can count on one hand the number of cool parents I have met over the years. Most of them are nobheads!
Who willingly works on a Sunday? Are sure they weren't all having a Doom deathmatch, or whatever people play these days? I thought most people just doom-scrolled the socials to pass the time.
Does your missus read these? She's obviously a very tolerant lady.
I wish they were having some kind of Doom Deathmatch or similar but they were all so earnest. One person even started having a call with someone!?
It was rather painful.
Hehe, she does read them. She laughs and thinks I am an over imaginative dick 🤣
Hive is always good for a break :) ... I hope you had a good drive, at least 😂

The drive was terrible! I mean it was nice but there is something wrong with my car and it's making a terrible noise when I brake which meant that the journey was quite stressful as I kept wondering if it was just going to collapse into pieces!
Taking it into the garage this week, then they can rob me and I will be happy 🤣🤣
But hey, if it fell to pieces you could just have a picnic instead of waiting in a room while the kids partied!
Hopefully it's nothing too expensive 😂

Still better than a new one that can start costing thousands before it grows old!

You know what they say, "All work and no play make Raffles, Salty-Pooch, and Shrillery dull people!" Lol. I really wish we could turn back time to about 2010, before the work/life balance became disrupted. We've given up a lot of things for the sake of convenience.
It's true, I don't think that back in the day people would have been quite so keen to switch on at the weekend. I know it would have been unthinkable for me and most that I know!
Sunday can never be a sleeping day because when the whole week has to wake up at 7 in the morning, the eyes are closed and the eyes open from 6 in the Sunday morning. Here in Pakistan today the weather has changed a lot and the heat has come here and the fans have started working here. You have always shared best memes.
We still have icy frost in the mornings. I am jealous of your temperatures! :0D
Hi @meesterboom , ( my favourite thing on a sleepy Sunday ) obviously the lie is this haaaaaa, in relation to the girl, she must be from somewhere haaaaa, I liked that, and the part you say about the threat of the temperature, 8 degrees, very threatening haaaaaa, now, it's Sunday, there are 4 people there, what do they do, all in the same space, different place, focused on the devices, apparently no one wanted to talk to each other, something quite common these days, well, you have fun, they work
I did have fun, sadly on my own!!
We were happy it did not rain. That made the weather seem amazing, lol :0)
That kind of work is worthwhile!
!BEER
It can be fair satisfying!
I've been a bit out of the loop when it comes to abuse mitigation. I really should pay more attention.
It's like anything, you don't notice it and then you see lots!
I think it is better than it has ever been!
Hahaha. I like the side note to Dante's Inferno
Sometimes you have to shoe in something to look classy :OD
The bloody hell?
Spoilt all the fun. Was legit giggy about getting to read some smut.😭😂
Amazing write-up by the way. I want my smut scene in another story though. 🥹
Hahaha, You might be waiting a while for the smut. It never happens! :O)
Hahahaha!
It was fun though.
Being a parent is really hard, I wasn't a cool kid myself, lol.
It can be hard. It can be very rewarding too though! :O)
