If you swing a thread I front of a cat’s face you will get its attention, and all it will want to follow the thread and want to play with it, that wouldn’t annoy it pasay! Cats get annoyed when you step or pull their tails, or when you pour water in them. I also have a cat and I have seen all this things happen.

    • This is really a touchy article I had seen so far. This is right that people always go by outward appearance neglecting the saying ‘DO NOT JUDGE BOOK BY ITS COVER’.

      One should know that a person does not care for money after reaching certain heights in life. He actually value the relationships and the affection only. He realizes the importance of human relationships in a society and never cares the material aspects. He lives like a highly matured person

    • I know a similar story. One should not judge a person by their dress…for one of the richest men in Jamaica dresses like the example in the article here. He does it so people don’t beg him any money.

    Do you agree that home made food is better than dining outside?
    Majority agree that homecooked food is better but how many of us have
    the time to cook at home ?

    Both parents and single adults are seen busy […]

    • This are some really good tips on how to cook for people who he e no time in the kitchen is who are too busy with work. I am one of those people who do most of the things that you have mentioned above. It saves me a lot I time and money when I prepare my meals before hand, do that when I get home it’s easier for me to cook even if it’s late.usually on Sundays is when I do my boiling and stacking of good in the freezer for future use. I boil meat dinner vegetables and anything else that needs preparations before time so that when I get to the house all I need to do is thaw and start cooking thanks for sharing those tips

    • There are some useful tips for cooking at home. As you rightly said that people nowadays are finding it difficult to devote time for cooking for various reasons. Most common reason for not cooking at home is because of tiresomeness and not having a good company to share their work at cooking. The remaining reasons may be specific to a particular family and a member who is cooking for the home.

      The tip on how to cook in less than 20 minutes for the entire home is good. The appliances you have mentioned will be quite friendly in cooking. They save time and money also. They also assure some good physical activity.

      I want to add that eating in a glassware will save a lot of water as they are easy to wash. We need not use a lot of water in cleaning the dinner and lunch plates. The dinner plates and other serving bowls should be kept clean and should be of good material to avoid the reaction with the food items served.

      But, these items should be changed at least once in a year for keeping the kitchen always nice and attractive. This will create a good ambience for eating.

      There are some people who recommend cooking for a whole week at a time. But this is not advisable. The Fridge and other electronic items may be efficient in keeping and preserving the food. But it is confined to only some countries only. It also depends on the climate you are living in . In the countries having colder atmosphere the cooking of food for a week may be accepted. But not with the people living in the countries that have a very hot climate.

    some parents out there are having the same kids problems too.

    My hubby was sick and tired of hearing my repeated nagging d […]

    • They should be encouraged in doing household chores because it prepares them for future.

    • I have very young kids and I have to admit with no lying I wish there was some help for my house hold chores. It is not easy do a job, come back home, and find all filthy and ready for new circle of cleaning, cooking and feeding. My parents help, my mother in law is radically useless and vain. She does helping only if her son explicitly tells her to do us a favor.
      My children are still too small to provide normal help with mind that they will not hurt or cut hands. I give older daughter to help. She can dust and clean simple things, but many times work become play and then younger brothers were one used like mops to reach under bed. It was funny but ever dirty again.

    • Well said, house chores have to be done regardless. No one wakes up one morning and becomes responsible you have start from somewhere. And that’s where the mum comes in she has to initiate the work in the house and make him kids responsible in their lives. You have outlined them very well there is nothing else to add really. There should be no excuse for not doing house chores that just have to be done.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Reasons Why Writers Write the Same Post Titles 8 years, 1 month ago

    I had read many posts online at different sites but why do we
    writers keep writing the same post titles since we already know
    the answers.
     
    Everytime I search for a title for my new post, I could find […]

    • I think that various different writers in different pages about very same topic use exactly same titles to tehir problem post because there is no other way how to present that porblem but with preset combination of words, that leads to exactly same title every time with no mistake. If you write about cakes from chocolate and cream, why not you use other words but chocolate and cream? Because it is just not possible.

    • Writing the same title is basis problem of SEO Search Engine Operation, for example, m name is ranked in the google search people ill choose the name as mine just bit different so that traffic could reach to their sites is the main problem.

      Post titles are essential to promoting your blog content. Believe it or not, it really makes the difference when a you carefully craft post title to work well, social media, in SEO, and most of all, with your readers. But how do you do it? Actually, it’s not as hard as you think. With just a few tips to keep in mind writing posts titles that get people to click on your links is as easy as pie.

      If you don’t believe me. Give the tips a try, and test them. You can use tools like bit.ly to track the post titles, and you can see which post titles get more clicks. If you’re using a newsletter service like Mailchimp, you can test with A/B split testing to see which headlines get more opens. While each person’s blog is different, I’ve found the tips below to increase click rates quite significantly, sometimes as much as the difference between 100 clicks and 1,200 clicks.

    • Writing blog post titles that get attention and traffic is a unique form of writing, because you write blog post titles for multiple reasons. First, you want people to be intrigued enough to feel compelled to read the actual blog post. Second, you don’t want to trick anyone by writing a title that is irrelevant to your blog post content.

      Third, you want your blog post to help drive search engine traffic, so you need to focus on keywords when you come up with your blog post titles. That’s a hefty list, but you can meet all three goals when you write blog post titles following the steps below.

      Your blog post titles should be interesting. They should intrigue readers enough to make them want to click on the link to your post and keep reading it. That’s not to say that straightforward titles aren’t effective. They are! However, you need to have a mix of creative and intuitive post titles to get the best of both worlds.

      You don’t want to be accused of tricking people into reading your blog post based on the title and then have them be disappointed in the actual content they find within the post. That can do more harm to your blog than good. If you bait them in your blog post title, you need to be sure that you deliver the content they’re looking for within your post content.

    • I also observed the same thing regarding the usage of one title by different authors. I suppose that is the best way they can write it.

    • to make money you need to write attractiv epost titel for sure, and it have to be also related to your post and to use
      i guess that writers should not write the dame title like others, to make it work

    • I love Spinach as it is a leafy vegetable. It is rich in taste and having good iron content. It is good to eat Spinach just boiling and frying it in in coconut oil. It gives immediate relief to the muscle pain. Whenever I visit any Punjabi Restaurant in Hyderabad I order two kulchas (masala) along with Spinach curry. Actually, the people suffering from Arthritis should avoid Spinach. But, when it is combined with Coconut oil and a dish is prepared it will be proved very beneficial for the problem.

      The dish you have written an article is containing some Tofu also. So it generates heat in the body and anybody suffering from Arthritis should be very careful in using this dish. Others, can without any second thought welcome this dish. It will be great in taste also.

    In contrast, parents and grandparents themselves, wanted to shower the child their […]

    • They just want to know that your are there for them

    • S hurting child will sometimes be very quiet, and not really say anything just in case he is told that he is being too petty about some issues. When a child is hurt that will always throw tantrums others will get aimlessly just like you have mentioned above. And that can be very annoying trying to stop that child from crying can be a huge mess. But the best way is to show them that you are attentive to them. It’s not really about what you will give them but just your time would change everything. Time is very essential most people take it for granted they don’t spend much time with their children’s making their kids feel vulnerable and neglected and that’s why they will always get and throw tantrums.

    • In my case when a child is hurt I check what the issue is and then treat the child accordingly. I do not like to treat the child with kid gloves always. Sometimes it is needed to be done but many other times I explain them why they are crying and when they will stop crying and how they can help themselves in the situation.

      I see many grown children also crying nowadays. For very minor issues. I feel they have been turned into delicate darling’s by there parents by showering too much of love and affection and also by being overprotective. This sort of a thing will never help the child and will turn out to be a problem when they grow as adults. An interesting article giving information on how to handle different children with varied mentalities. Best wishes.

    • I have not tasted it still but I will try to taste it soon making at home with the help of my cousin. Ingredients:
      1 packet dumpling wrappers, for soup
      1.5 liter chicken stock, homemade or store-bought
      2 to 3 stalks baby bok choy
      spring onion, diced, for garnish
      sesame oil, to taste
      salt, for cleansing the prawn meat
      corn flour, for cleansing the prawn meat
      Fillings:
      250 gm pork mince
      160 gm prawn meat
      3 shiitake mushrooms, soaked and shredded
      30 gm bamboo shoots, frozen or canned, blanched in hot water then shredded
      20 gm wood ears, blanched in hot water then shredded
      Marinade:
      2 tsp light soy sauce
      ½ tsp salt
      ½ tsp sugar
      ½ tsp oyster sauce
      1 tsp cornflour / corn starch
      ½ tsp chicken powder / chicken bouillon
      1 egg white
      white pepper, to taste
      sesame oil, to taste

      Method:
      Mix the prawn meat with a little of salt and corn flour. Leave them for about 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse and pat dry with kitchen papers. Cut each into 3 to 4 pieces.
      Mix pork mince with marinade. Stir in the prawn, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, wood ears. Cover and chill in fridge for about 20 minutes, or until you’re ready to wrap dumplings.
      Put a heaped spoon of fillings in the middle of a wrapper. Damp the wrapper around the fillings and seal the filling tightly, leaving the wrapper edges loosely. No need to make it perfect. Just make sure the fillings won’t leak out while boiling. Repeat this step to finish wrapping with the remaining fillings.
      Bring the chicken stock to a boil over high heat in a pot.
      In the meantime, carefully put dumplings into another large pot of boiling water over high heat. Stir the water with chopsticks in order to avoid the dumplings stick to the bottom. When the dumplings float to the water surface. Immediately transfer them into the chicken stock. Add bok choy and cook for a while. Season with salt. Sprinkle spring onion and sesame oil. Serve immediately.
