Wow you were really a party girl according to your story. Partying the whole week or three times in a week may sound like a lot of time out, but it’s underatandable given that you were still young and in college.
During my days I also used to go out but not as much. Mine was kind of limited, I would go like twice in a month. But it was not a given that I would go. But I can remember December was the month of having all this fun, because most kids were on holiday, celebrations are going on from every corner, parties are the in thing during this time. Me and some two friends of mine created a dancing group that used to perform routine dances, around the estates. We would have people from different places come to ask us to go and perform for them, and Mark you it was all for fun no one paid anyone we would do it for free and really enjoy ourselves in the long run.
Going to the disco was a Saturday event. We would hang out the who night until the next morning at 6pm. We did this because if you left at midnight or at 2am in the morning, you would not get means to go home. Those are the days when you would not get taxis that easy they were mostly for the rich and quite expensive.
Anyway I loved those days they were the most enjoyable and memorable days of my life. I wish I would go back to those days but am all grown now and taking life slow. Some of this things don’t excite me much nowadays. Am more quiet and reserved and just enjoying my quiet time at home.

I enjoy watching disco dancing. It a lot of entertainment. But actually I enjoy all dancing. It relaxes me and even clears my mind. I even enjoy dancing myself every since I was a little girl. As I grew older I begin to pole dance. It wasn’t about the money. I just really enjoyed it. Dancing was a big activity for me.

In the International Relations, decisions are taken in regard to certain issues with broad perspective keeping the analysis reports and reactions received from various countries. Before making open a decision a country should see the reactions, effects, and its consequences of it on other countries and at least on the neighboring countries.

The decision of the German Chancellor to open the gates liberally with a human touch for the Syrian refugees might have gained popularity and made the country ‘more-safe-to-stay’ on the planet Earth if the rest of the EU countries accepted and welcomed the decision with a philanthropic approach. But, the situation was not congenial for other EU Nations to accept such decision.
There were continuous terrorist attacks and bombing in many EU Nations. The reason for such attack starting from Charlie Hebido were all, it seems, directed towards terrorizing the EU Nations not to allow the Syrian Refugees into their respective countries which were countered by the Germany by liberally allowing entry to Syrian Refugees in millions. The Germany took a decision quite contrary and unacceptable to the other E.U. Nations. It should have studied the situation and would have obtained the opinion of the other EU Nations.
But, the U.S from the beginning has viewed the entire situation with a suspicion and started delaying the draft guidelines in allowing the immigrants which never took any final shape and gave an opportunity to Mr. Trump to cash upon during the U.S Presidential elections. He made his statements quite in line with those of the remaining EU Nations which assured the safety of the Europe if he is elected as the President of the U.S.
Mrs. Clinton could not see the effect of the statements of Mr. Donald and totally avoided the issue without any firm stand on such important issue.

“… the fact that people did not vote for means their vote counted against.” We have had this discussion before and I still respectfully disagree with you on this. 🙂

My first reason for disagreeing is: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. So when you say vote, which vote are you talking about? The electoral vote or the popular vote? Because if you’re referring to the popular vote, Hillary Clinton should be POTUS. If the people who did not vote had voted for her and she had not gotten the electoral vote she still wouldn’t be president.

My second reason for disagreeing and this is much more important than my first reason: Voting is not the ONLY THING that a citizen can do! It’s as if you believe a person who does not vote is somehow “unpatriotic” and that it’s because of their “non-vote” that a person is now in office who should not be there.

I don’t buy that! Because I have not voted for years. Sometimes the candidate I was in favor of won the election. Sometimes they didn’t! Not voting didn’t me make any less of a patriot. I have survived all of these presidents. Without my vote, America is still standing!

No I did not vote. But I did do and still do my part as an American citizen. I have been an American all my life and a patriot ever since I came to know and understand what it means to an American. So I don’t vote! That doesn’t mean I don’t serve my country.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Amen!

* In my lifetime of living in America, I have never seen that many people protesting the results of a presidential election. OK! Protest. Protest. Protest. Trump is still the President. Also, with respect to the “electors” that you say “sat on their vote”, I totally understand and respect their right to choose to sit on it! They voted or rather did not vote, according to their conscience.

* * Last question: Who is the Orange Monster? I’ve never heard that expression.

You didn’t vote… your vote went to Trump. It is as simple as that. Suppose there are ten people on this site. The choice; limit to three posts a day or not. You don’t vote. I and Cely are the only ones to vote to limit. We ‘win’.

A lot of people say, my vote is not important. If you were in politics you’d understand how important it is to prevent voting. In one election a particular area with over 25k voters ‘elected’ a representative who received 3,635 votes and the other, 3,300. Where were the votes? The Police had scraped up thousands of people and held them in custody beginning the night before until polls closed.

A few months later, during local, where the police were inactive, two counselors from a particular party garnered 15k and 12k each. The other party split the 3,635 votes.

So you, whether you want to appreciate or not. got Trump elected.

During recent US Presidential elections, only 57.9% have voted and the remaining have not voted does not mean that the remaining are 42.1% are against Mr. Trump. So much so it is also not true that they are in favor of Hillary. This is the percentage of people who evinced little interest in the Elections.

Choosing a candidate for the post of President became a challenge for the U.S voters. They did not want to vote as a protest against Mr. Trump does not carry any meaning. In a Democracy, each and every voter is expected to avail the opportunity of voting. If he does not, it only disappoints the result of the Election. The Voter should be aware of it. If he is not, he must be made to known of the consequences it will have on the Election Result. The Government should educate the people in this aspect and try to see that as many voters exercise their voting rights as possible for a transparent result.

This clearly shows that the Government has not enlightened the U.S voters on this aspect and took any measures and was watching the campaigns and kept itself busy with the remarks and statements in the Newspapers.

The sector wise result will make result but not the number of votes. It is always there. Mrs. Hillary might have got number of votes than Mr. Trump but this is not the deciding factor. It is only the number of Segments that they have won in a sector that decides the winning candidate. So, it is not appropriate to say that Mr. Trump is not having any supporters and the election process itself is wrong.
Finally, it is not appropriate to say that many of the voters did not vote and were carried away by the remarks against Mrs. Hillary it implies that they are not favoring Mrs. Hillary and want to give an opportunity to Mr. Trump.
Even if it is not so, did anybody stop them from voting against Mr. Trump?

When you don’t vote; unless it is a Tweedledee/Tweedledum then you effectively deny a vote to a candidate. When the voting is below 75% every vote not cast matters. It is a very simple equation.

Looks like I’ve run out of space for additional remarks. Let’s finish this discussion in the group “Anything Over Coffee”. Have a humorous look at a humorous link I’d like to share with you. Started a discussion called “Trump Tweets – A continuing discussion”. It’s serious but I hope it makes you laugh too. 🙂

Meant to start the discussion in one group (“Anything Over Coffee”) but noticed that it is in another group “Making Money Online” (a group that I don’t normally start discussions in). I would have preferred to have it in the group I mentioned. Nevertheless, since it’s there in that group, I am noting it here, just in case somebody comes here, then goes to the WRONG GROUP and can’t find the continuation of our discussion.

The end of the matter is: Mr Trump fought and won fair and square. Next time for the Liberal leftists, fight harder (within the Law) and vote.

Ok. I agree with you. The less we talk the less will be the quarrel. If there is any quarrel for a short while it only makes them coming out of their emotions and make them healthy as most of the times both will be conversing online only.

That is really a nice set-up for couples who are both self-employed and are just at home working.

True, each one should have their workstations and have their own space. Having the same workstations can muddle up their works specially when there are a lot of documents to deal with.

Having a board of each one’s work schedule will also facilitate each one’s ease in understanding the busyness of each one at the designated hours thus needs not be disturbed and won’t hurt the other one, when he doesn’t answer to her queries and vice versa.

THAT WAS NICE TIPS FOR COUPLES WHO ARE BOTH WORKING AT HOME. IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE THEIR OWN WORKING ROOMS/STATIONS AS YOU HAVE SAID. AND ALSO I AGREE THAT BOTH SHOULD TALK ABOUT THEIR SCHEDULES.

It would be great to work at home with your husbandwife . but you have to make sure your not disturbed cause its not to easy to focus with your love ones around and take things a serious as you would if they weren’t around. And I agree when having your own two separate environments to work in you can get your job done better.

Lolzzz.. From your writeup, its obvious you made a delicious meal. Perhaps they were carried away by the tasty meal you made them. So no hard feeling ok.

“I was a bit disappointed, because I want to hear it. But I guess, I just have to be contented of seeing them eating the pakbet, as if they have no tomorrow anymore. Lol” and thats all that matters. Because their actions have shown you how much they appreciated your efforts.

We learned them as children, but no mater your age these essential words are effortless to say and convey a wealth of meaning to others. They have a powerful ability to create positive interactions.
But we sometimes fail to recognize and show appreciation for the everyday courtesies that come our way. And also sometimes when we don’t hear the two magic words from those we would like to hear them from, doesn’t mean we’re not appreciated.Most people know to express their thanks for gifts, favors, awards, and the like.

I’m hoping you share your recipes with me in the future…

Well actually, I have known them, including my husband to be like that, no saying of Thank You. You will just know from the way the gobble up the viand and the perspiration in their heads, that they really liked what I cook.

And at the bedroom, i would ask my husband if he liked what I cooked, he would joke NO! and hugs me.

But then I still would like to hear it or even just a plain “It is so delicious!” .

As you said these two words can really create a positive reaction from the recipient. Makes us wanna cook more delicious foods. ha ha ha

Recipes ? I only cook simple foods. Or from what are the ingredients inside the refrigerator that is available. I call it cooking by chance.

Uuhhhhhh so sweet of your husband..*smiles* then you also telling him jokingly. “Honey I’ll like to hear you say it.it makes me feel better”lolzzz..

You must be a very good cook for using the available ingredients in the refrigerator to do perform the magic they enjoy so much. Thumbs up.Continue keeping your family happy.
