Good morning on a sunny Friday from this side of the world, my friends, how was your night?
I went out this morning and checked if there were garbage bags in front of the gate; quite happy there were none. It could be possible that the garbage was already collected this early morning.
Then I and my sister talked. I suggested why not plant some cacti outside, those that have spiny sharp thorns? Or plant flowers? My sister said the tricycles will run over them anyway.
She suggested to put some hollow blocks in that corner, but I said the hollow blocks can be their bin for the garbage bags they put in that corner.
Regarding hollow block, in this discussion site, when a user blocks you and the reason is as hollow as due to a misunderstanding, I think you should find somebody to be the middleman and let the blocker state his reason for the block. A reason for blocking can be hollow (it has no deep meaning), but just for the heck of it. But for the blocker, be sure that there is nothing the person you block can ‘get even with’ you.
Somebody whom I blocked is really living up to the user’s name. “Next time, be sure you know more about the topic, okay, blocked one?”

The first time I was blocked by a woman here, I didn't bother to ask her at all through another member. But the next time around, I asked why she blocked me. Sure enough, she apologized and said she must have mistakenly hit the block button.
From then on, I ask.

@ridingbet I have been already blocked twice by mistake. It's hard to let people know when they block you.

how about barbed wire? maybe even the tricycle drivers will avoid them. hehe.
the blocks might be accidental due to using a phone, tablet, or internet lag.

Good morning po. I like the analogy. And hollow rhymes with shallow. Both meaning no depth. When you dont have depth you pretend and you copy others and make it your own and then act innocent.
