    kaylar wrote a new post, The Useful Reality of Being Jamaican 7 years, 9 months ago

    Perhaps, once, many many years ago, the Island of Jamaica was considered a pathetic little island with a population who had never been exposed anything like scams or tricks or hoaxes.

    I doubt it.

    Although he has […]

    • Hmm the legendry ananse has surface in jemica too. this is the charactor we use in our folkalar story telling in Ghana. Rose smith has send me similar mail before. once you reply they get the chance to brainwash you with some pathetic refuegee or money inheritance story that they need your help in. Am fringe interest just to understand their stupidity. Am not a fool to allow a scammer to outsmart me. They have tried many scams in different form but non got me.

      • Anancy comes from Ghana…in Jamaica he’s just a trickster… very little good traits. How can someone try to samfie a Jamaican or a Ghanaian? Rose Smith is very stupid.

    • Well this is something interesting to store up to tell my mixed race (English/Jamaican) grandson. He will need to know his roots. As for scammers. Most are stupid. The other day one got onto my facebook as messaged me as my friend. It was rather amusing as I was actually on the phone to my friend at the time and waited for the request for money and then we both had a good laugh when I called the scammer out. Like you say. Most scammers are not that bright.

      • Well, Anancy is central to Jamaica. He comes from Ghana. He is a spider… there are many folk stories about Anancy. The nicest one….

        One day there were only five pears (avocados) to eat, and it was Anancy, his wife and four children. He gave everyone a pear. The little one said, ‘Daddy what are you going to eat?’ Anancy said, “It’s okay, son, you eat.” “No Daddy, here take half my pear.” “Yes!” said the other children, “Take half of ours!”

        As usual Anancy got more than anyone.

    Imagine you are hosting a birthday party.

    Yah!

    It is time to Cut The Cake!

    But wait… this is one cake and there are a lot of people.  A lot of people.  There is no way you can cut that cake in the normal s […]

    • Happened with me few times. But not for the cake but for other things.

    • it is not every one who goes to even and expect cakes under the occassion in my country. it is good advice anyway

    • If the situation is already known before the cake is cut all is well but when that is not the case then you can use our home method HPKO – HOUSE PEOPLE KEEP OFF (lol)

      • I’ve had a lot more kids show up to a birthday party than I expected, so when I had to cut the cake, I made my border, gave that out, made another border, gave that out… I got 14 pieces from the first border, about ten from the second, leaving a small six inches in diameter cake which I made into about eight pieces, so I did get everyone 32 people some of that cake.

    • Interesting, but are you eating for the taste of the porridge or the nutritional value your body needs out of what you are eating. Old brands are difficult to do away with but it might be for a reason that the mall redraw it from the self. once the new brand gives the needed nutrient just enjoy it. You will be used to it soon.

      • It is a fairly new concept to make instant peanut porridge. The brand I used was delicious. This one… good stuffing… peanut porridge is really nice

    • In Jamaica we’ve had peanut porridge for a long time; it’s a very long process to create, and many people don’t make it any more. The Instant porridge is (the first brand) excellent. Peanuts are nutritious, and healthy… if you’re not allergic.

    • Hahaha equating the attitude of the child to Trump is serious but the fact and the difference is one can not be irgnored. The child have no control over his mom so he can be irgnored but in the case of trump the will not be safe if he is irgnored. The man Trump is a terroriest against himself, america and the world. if he get the attention he will be able to reveal his intentions against the world so he can be stoped where possible.

      • He acts like a brat, throwing a tantrum. He is very dangerous. Some Americans are beginning to realise it.

    • My belief is that when you toilet train a child early, they learn how to control themselves. When you don’t they never get a grip on their behaviour and continue on like Trump.

    • I’m curious to know why you think Trump will hurt the world. Most of what the media says about him is not true. Most of what he says himself he believes is true. He is giving voice to what many Americans believe — that the people who have been in charge of the government for the last few decades don’t care about ordinary people and are not in touch with what most Americans face in their lives. We are willing to overlook some of Trump’s personality traits because we believe in his policies.

      Compared to the population of American, only a small percentage is protesting, and many of those are paid. I won’t say any more now since I don’t know how many of you really care about this. I do not think Trump is having temper tantrums, either. He isn’t always wise with his words, but are you always wise with yours? Trump doesn’t show one personality in private and another in public. He is who he is and you know exactly what he’s thinking.

      Can you give an example of what you consider a temper tantrum he’s had?

      • The ‘so-called judge’ is how he labeled the Judge who ruled against his badly thought out executive order, which has led to a law suit. The way he castigates the press… how he spoke to the Australian Prime Minister, these just pop to mind. If I did the research I can give you a pile more.

        Further, the fact the Women’s Protest was 3x the size of his inauguration.

        I know there are die hard Trumpies, they hated having a Black man as their President. They want America to be white, christian and male. And I’m sure they’ll get it.

    • I can completely relate to your friend. These days all the kids fall into this difficult to handle group. And ignorance towards there tantrums is the best remedy. They eventually stop doing it.

      Though it take some time but it is far better than shouting or hitting the child.

      • To me, this grows out of a child who has no self control and the parents must, when they get the child home resort to ridicule. “Oh, you should have seen Joey! He made such a fool of himself, I could barely could keep from laughing,” and go on about it, and say, “I don’t think you can go to the zoo… what if you throw yourself on the ground and scare the animals?”

        This works.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Reason Three why Women put up with a Cheating Husband 7 years, 9 months ago

    They married young, and were hard working and ambitious.  The wife never liked the sex act.  She found it a bit painful, a bit unsatisfying, but put up with it in the early days as part of the passion of a new m […]

    • Is this a true story? It probably is. I don’t know of any people in a relationship like this, but couples have “arrangements” I suppose. Although if both are aware of what’s going on, that’s not really “cheating”. We won’t split hairs over it. 🙂

      But there are 3 reasons a woman stays with a unfaithful man.

      ~ LOVE. No matter what anybody says “Love can cover a multitude of sins.”

      ~ MONEY. She can’t (or she thinks she can’t) take of herself financially. In psychology I think it’s called “learned helplessness”.

      ~ TRADITION. She lives in a society where her back is up against the wall. She either kills herself, escapes if she can, or lives in hell!! It ain’t right. It ain’t fair. But that’s her reality.

      • It is true. Many women don’t enjoy sex. It might be the man’s fault. Also, a woman might marry a good looking man who goes to seed and becomes repulsive. I can think of one man who was beautiful in college… I mean movie star… and then… like twenty years later… don’t look.

        • If you choose someone based on their looks then you made a life choice for the wrong reason. We all get old and wrinkled. Except … unless you’re Michael Jackson’s mother. That woman does not age! 🙂

          Some men do change “personality” once married. But then the question remains? If he tricked you, why are staying with him? He deceived you! Run away! As fast as you can. What else is he capable of doing to you? Marriage is about love and trust. Not lies and deceit.

          Marriage is a commitment for life. If you don’t want to be committed, then don’t get married. Only women in certain societies are FORCED into marriage. Other women have a choice so they should choose wisely.

          • There are some people I adore; physically they don’t attract me at all. They are friends and nothing near romance ever happens or comes near to happening. There are cases in which the person you marry… and looks always have something to do with it… is not who you married. Not just older but .. unattractive. Like a big belly or a way of holding their face in this sour look they didn’t have when young.

    • What’s the use of staying in marriage, if both of you isn’t committed to what you have promised before God, when you got married.

      If she finds sex painful, then early on she could have told her husband, so her husband will make a way not to hurt her that way, whenever they are lovemaking.

      They could have even approached a gynecologist about her pain so it could be given a remedy.

      Besides, there are many ways for a woman not to feel pain during their lovemaking, but instead enjoy it everytime it’s being done.

      • Although it may be shocking, for a number of people, sex is not important. They enter a relationship and put up with the sex, but never really enjoy it.

    • Adultery is a major sin. But many men commit it. Most women will walk out. Those who don’t have a reason why. I was giving the three major ones; money, having an affair of her own, or not liking sex.

    She was very upset and was consoled by the Gardener. He was young, good looking and […]

    • I never would stay with a man no matter how much money he has , who cheats and find his cheating a reason to cheat too.

      One cannot correct a wrong with another wrong.

      I would rather equip myself with money by working, separate with him and find another man who can love me and not cheat on me. AT least, that way, I will not sin also.

      As I have observed, some women indeed would stay with their husband, because they are so dependent on him to sustain a living.

      Look at those career women, when they are cheated by their husbands, they separate with them, file divorce, so they can find their right man.

      • I don’t disagree, but in the situation I mentioned, it was a peculair kind of relationship in which both the wife and gardener needed the husband’s pocket.

    • I am sure, if the Gardener hadn’t been there, and if the relationship between the wife and gardener hadn’t been so loving, the wife would have left. As the husband had money, the wife had a high standard of living, the gardener had an easy job, so staying in the relationship made sense.

    This is a true recountation of a real situation.

    After some suffering, a wife attended a particular attorney. She had enough. Her husband, with whom she had weathered the hard times, was now an international […]

    • Why wait for the husband to die, when during his lifetime of cheating, the woman can make means to stash money for herself and one day file for a divorce because of his cheating ways.

      At least on top of her stashed money from her husband, he would be giving her alimony.

      As to the children she should also see to it that she will have them for herself and that they be included in the divorce agreement as to their allowances until they are of matured age and can already be on their own.

      • The fact is, she’d of walked out with the clothes on her back, but the Attorney made a lot of sense. One has to realise that once a man commits adultery, that’s the end. Now the wife has to consider her future. And in this case, she did.

    • Good information. I,personally, like to watch the old TV shows and programs. Websites are good but now companies are focusing on apps. There are many apps available in which you can see old movies, shows and even cartoons. Hulu is, also, available in apps and most of the new TV shows are available. So, the field is wide for anyone to see TV and does not have to spend a fortune. Cable TV will soon have to change or lose money because customers are wiser and know that there are alternatives to TV and movie watching.

      • I’ve been watching free online for a long time. I pay no fee, I belong to no site. I have a TV yes, but only use it to watch the news and one South African soapie.

      It will make detection easier, thus making our places a safer place to live in.

      I hope soon, this study could be finalized soon so gadgets or machines with regards to the detection of the above will now be easier and faster.
