DP Daily Prompts: Powerful Suggestion

What is the one piece of advice you wish someone had given you a year(or five, or ten……)ago?

I am not very good at  taking advice from anyone, I find some are very irritating they think they know more so all I have to do is listen and obey.

If I’m told not to be too nice that right there is something, I will never listen to. My feeling is if I can make someone happy there is nothing wrong with it. I call that being bossy or know it all when  someone tells me not to be kind.  Really I have no time for it.

I don’t know what is powerful suggestion, only people who can give powerful suggestion in my mind  are my parents, since none of them are alive, there is no one else I can think of who can take their place.

DP Daily Prompt: Pace Oddity

If you could slow down an action that usually zooms by, or speed up an event that normally drags on , which would you choose, and why?

I don’t mind going to parties hosted by friends every now and then, what is irritating about the ones I’m invited to seems to drag on.

Most people in my group of friends have no respect for time, if they are invited for a 6 pm dinner they show up at eight or even later, the hosts wait for every last person to serve the meal, then there is the practice of serving the men and children first and the women after the said people are taken care of.

I went to one once the time given was 6 pm but the guests started arriving after eight, by the time everyone was in, it was after 9;30 pm. I felt the time was dragging on, the hostess kept the food in the oven to keep it warm.

When finally the dinner was served at close to 10 pm in groups, the last group i.e the women were served at almost eleven o clock.

I always respect the time given, I had to wait for close to five hours to be served, by then the food was not fresh, the salad was not fit to eat as it happened to be what was left over after the previous group finished their meal.

I like the food to be served at the time given and everyone i.e men women and children should be served at the same time!
