Good post. Will remember this article when thinking about the issue of BREXIT. I did not keep up with the politics so I can’t even speculate about the “reasons”. I thought all the countries were happy about being a part of the European Union. Next thing I knew there were heated debates and a vote to leave! People are still hot under the collar about it! Don’t know what the ripple effect might be. So I better pay attention.

The ‘pundits’ missed all the facts, got it wrong, because people don’t want unlimited, unmonitored immigration of Muslims. It is not really Islamaphobic, one questions, why come here? Why come to a Christian country which will not bow down nor accept the taboos? And Merkle went to far dictating how many people each country was to take.

It does not give good image to that seller and the office where it was done.There should be some ebticla rules and good conduct to follow and abide, That case is not good. In the faculty office, I do not like our co teachers entertaining sales people and presenting their promos and goods or products. The time they usually get in is lunch time and teachers are all tired and hungry and here comes sales people allowed to blah,blah in the office.
There are offices and schools and anywhere doing this act.Let us just go with the music for if we show rebellious actions, we become culprits to them, I better keep my mouth shut and leave the place.

Yes, it was in the news before that teachers would sell in their classrooms and the buyers are the children,
But good thing that I think this was already prohibited because some teachers use it as a way of making some buy because they want to please the teacher to get higher grades or in Tagalog make “sipsip” or trying to gain the favor of the teacher.
So, in your school too. Well, you cannot blame the teachers because they just want to make extra money. As long as they are doing the selling during rest hours or breaks then, it’s okay.

So sad m our house in the province was destroyed for it was made a shabu laboratory.I posted that in ML many months ago. Our house was also cool with an floor area of 335 square meters, so big 3 storey that was the reason why it was made a shabu lab.The caretaker was sued and now in jailed. We jailed our relative for conspiring with the bad elements.

But you can still have it repaired. Or better still sell it and buy a small house that has a garden.
Though maybe the house where you are all staying now is so much better and it is what you can call a “home”.

“She found him standing before the water staring unseeing at its frozen surface. He was shivering. She watched him doubtfully for a moment. ‘Po,’ she said to his back, where’s your coat?’
‘Where’s yours?’
She moved to stand beside him. ‘I’m warm.’
He tilted his head to her. ‘If you’re warm and I’m coatless, there’s only one friendly thing for you to do.’
‘Go back and get your coat for you?’
He smiled. Reaching out to her, he pulled her close against him. Katsa wrapped her arms around him, surprised, and tried to rub some warmth into his shivering shoulders and back.
‘That’s it exactly,’ Po said. ‘You must keep me warm.’
She laughed and held him tighter.”-
Indeed , a tight hug can really warm one’s body. At night, hubby and I embrace each other to add warmth to our blankets. he he he

Same thing in Jamaica… which is supposed to be tropical. It is really cold, you have to wear long sleeves and sleep with socks.

I guess your country too is affected by the cold front. does it also gets colder in February when the snow are thawing in Siberia?

We are all just ordinary people trying to live our lives. Some of us don’t aspire to do anything of “historical import”, but find ourselves in a situation or circumstances and it happens. Some of us actually do set out to leave a mark in the historical records. Either way, those who leave their marks behind may have had good intentions and did “works” or “acts” that people choose to remember them for and call them “great”.
As far as I’m concerned, regards “nation building”, there are really no “great” leaders, thinkers, visionaries, etc., in the history of the nations. But some of them said and did things, and the resulting benefits that accrued to the citizens of that country years after they died, make them people that other people are not likely to forget!

The Presidents I will deal with had a particular image which changed. Until people heard of Amistaad or the Trail of Tears, they had Van Buren as just peachy. Looking back, one sees the flaws that were ignored at the time.

Observers warn of an outpouring of hate that might exceed post-Brexit racism, as some Trump supporters revel in video telling ‘leftist’ immigrants ‘The wolves are coming … And you are the hunted’
-
The racism began the day he won. A lot of things have been done but are not in Newspapers or on news. People have seen certain things, experienced them. Trump is a racist, his people are racist, and he was supported by racists. Shockingly, some supporters are black.
-

I think this is the moderated post.
Let me start from pre-Trumpian; America is a racist country. It is a place that I have to be conscious of the colour of my skin as I get off the plane. I make a lot of mistakes, talking to people… but…
The day Trump won, there were a number of racist incidents in NYC. I have family there who told me what they saw and heard, so this isn’t any ‘media’ hype. A bit of the racism has popped into newspapers, but there’s a lot more. And will be a lot more.
Trump ran on the platform of “Make America White” again. Oh, that might not be what you heard, but this is what white ears heard.
It is not going to be business as usual in America, and those of us in the 3rd and 4th world are making alliances with other nations, just in case.
-
Yep. It was this one. Let’s continue the conversation.
To say “America is a racist country” need not be said to me. I’m not ignorant about living in America. I have no expectations of “greatness” that will be seen as a result of actions and decisions made by Trump, during the Trump administration.
I have no illusions and anything that happens won’t surprise me. Unfortunately, there’s an expression “crap rolls downhill”.
Being realistic and also having worked as a civil servant in our nation’s capital, I know for a fact that decisions made and actions taken by a person sitting at a desk in the Oval Office can have severe adverse painful impact on the AAC (average American citizen).
I have NO FAITH in the people who will be “in charge” for the next 4, possibly 8 years. I just hope the citizens can survive them, hope the “damage” is not too extensive, and once they’re “no longer in charge”, we can keep on building this nation UP!!
Is Trump “draining the swamp”? (RE: “Will ‘drain the swamp’ be Trump’s first broken promise?” – politico.com) Hmmm …? Let me answer that. What goes around come around. IF one administration can come in and repeal and replace work of a previous administration, THEN another administration can come in right behind them and repeal and replace their work too! This is America. God bless America!! 🙂

I am very concerned because he’s erratic. He doesn’t seem to be sane. He is supposed to be the President and he behaves like some 9th grade loud mouthed punk. I wish we could put an umbrella over Jamaica so that he doesn’t remember we exist. For who knows what evil plots in his pin brain.

This tale is based on a true story told to Will by a friend [Tessa] who is an nursery schoolteacher in Drayton near Portsmouth; names have been changed to protect the guilty.boots joke
Marlon asked the teacher to help him get his shoes on at the end of a busy day. After quite a struggle with the shoes, which were a little tight, Tessa finally got them on. ‘They’re on the wrong way round, Miss,’ mumbled Marlon.
She realises that he is right; they are on the wrong feet. Staying calm she and swaps them over for him.
‘They’re not my shoes, Miss’, Marlon murmurs again.
Tessa fights hard to keep her cool and asks Marlon why he hadn’t told her before. She then kneels down again and helps him pull the shoes off.
‘These aren’t my shoes, they’re my brother’s and Mum told me not to tell anyone.’
At this point Tessa can feel tears coming. She helps him back into his shoes. She gets him into his coat and wraps his scarf round his neck.
‘Where are your gloves, Marlon?’ asks Tessa quietly.
‘Oh, Miss, I always put them in my shoes!

One has to reward faithful customers, this keeps them faithful customers.
It worked i can see that, but then it worked for existing loyal customers, what about potential customers and first timers. You need to also come up with strategies of retaining that one time customer, make that customer feel like there is no other place better than yours, make them want to spend more. How about you have an award for the biggest spender then you revert to the fair raffle, that way you will be encouraging the seasoned customers aswell as motivating the new ones. Try it, it could work for you
Although one wants new customers, one must keep the ones they have. The fact is, when another supermarket opens in walking distance, if they don’t feel prized here, they’ll go there. We need to keep our loyal ones and others will trickle in.
