    Exactly.   For example, certain days you set to cook.  You prepare stuff for the week.  Then you go to work.  You can set time to clean or not clean, watch TV or not watch.  You get a power of yourself you can never have when you live with people.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Exploring The Mother / Daughter Alliance 7 years, 10 months ago

    In many parts of the world, women have learned that they can never trust a man. Whether it is part of a culture where a man has more than one wife or where adultery is ‘normal’, women make alliances with other […]

    • Wow well written truth be told mums and daughters share very many secrets together yet no one else would know. I am a woman but the truth is I don’t like it when some women join alliances with their mother’s to ruin the relationship between them and their spouse’s. I think that’s wrong and it should not be encouraged by anyone.
      For me i believe that when you choose to love someone, get into that relationship with the intention of growing both of you and not your mother of father. Remember that it is about the two of you, make that your business. Many people get into marriages for th3 some purpose of enriching themselves bad their families and that’s very sad and unfortunate. I even know of someone who got married, to a lovely lady who he thought was his world, he would do all sorts of good things for her take her places, but her gifts and so on and so forth, not knowing that one day he would be damped for reasons he never understood. After doing all this things an being divorced he comes to the realization that he was duped, and that everything that he did and bought all went in the hands of the woman and her mother. He was left empty with nothing to hold onto. It was very unfortunate the last was in cohorts with the mother to dwindle the poor guy and they managed quite easily.
      So when women do these things really they need to think about the reasons that took them into that marriage in the first place. So not use someone’s feelings to your own advantage it hurts. And for the mother’s who encourage their daughter’s to do such things should really consider what if that boy who is being duped was their son how would they feel?

    Although we can debate the selection of What to Watch as being a ‘challenge’,  I would prefer to label it more of a ponder than a problem.

    • yes, This is really a challenge If not one there are many other sites which can be found to view the targeted show. Be it a serial or a movie the aim is to search and find the appropriate site.
      The only thing one requires is patience
      I, most of the times do the same thing If I lose any episode I search for it. I choose a site which is free from advertisements and then I prefer it. This saves our time and most importantly we can enjoy the movie or show without any disturbance during the show

      • Sometimes you will find that the episode is not there or some kind of problem viewing it. I move to another site. In a way, the Internet is a ‘new world’ where there is always another site.

    • I find it very relaxing myself. I can shut the show when I have to take a call or go out…

    The title can be translated as “I don’t want old things.”  It should not be said by someone in poverty who is offered second hand clothing.    It should not be said when religious organisations from America se […]

    • In America we have Goodwill stores. They take second hand stuff and sell it at really low prices. It’s for low income people, but anybody can shop there and buy lots of used items at great prices. I can understand if people don’t want you dumping on them. I mean … giving something a dog wouldn’t even wear. But used clothing is nothing new. (Excuse the pun.) If you came from a big family, you probably wore hand me downs. I suspect an ulterior motive is behind requesting new items instead of “old bruk”. I don’t know what the reasoning is, but I do know charity is charity and it doesn’t wear a mask. A person who receives charity is usually grateful for whatever they get. I know I am! Most of my clothes are “old bruk” and also my other property (TVs, furniture, etc.) is “old bruk”.

      • I know what you are saying. We gave things to Good Will, and it has only been in the past few years that I’ve been dumping them.

        It is so bad, that Politicians do NOT give money to parents who beg for school fees… they pay the fees to the school because the mother will take the money to get another tattoo.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Not to be Hurt when a Scam Site Goes Down 7 years, 10 months ago

    What hurts so much when a Scam site goes down, is not just being left unpaid, it is losing work. Many people write articles that matter to them. Maybe it is the topic, maybe it is the research they did, but they […]

    • you are right When a site becomes known to be a scam site and when it is closed we broke.
      We writers generally put our ideas into good sentences with appropriate words and even do research depending upon the topic we choose We work hard It takes nearly 3 hrs to prepare a decent article with research. Noting down the points and the references will consume a lot of time. As far as writing is concerned it will take half an hour as it is a just a cakewalk for us.

      When taking so much of pain we write and our article is published, and if the site goes into oblivion then there will be a pinch of disappointment.

      I had this experience with one site. That is not a blogging site. After the accumulation of $66 they said that they do not have any money with them. I issued a legal notice through my friend who happened to be an internet expert and doing practice and also informed the INTERPOL agent. They are now at it. I do not want to leave that fellow.

      If anybody faces such problem better they give the information along with the details of the site with a snapshot of the amount accumulated in their account.

      The days are changing Nobody should allow such things to happen and must teach them an appropriate lesson.

      I am also seeing to file a case against fb for his cheap marketing techniques The compensation would be in for $1 million. I am gathering information on that.

    • It’s hard to say that we should not get hurt when a site does not pay us for our work, and then shuts down. I have been a victim before and it was not nice. Considering the fact that i had our in so much time and effort. Anyway when it comes to the things that I write on site it’s merely what I research, read about or watch on television then I share. Real experiences are few and those are things that don’t leave your mind that easily. They stick to you so you can’t really say that you will loose them at some point. I always say that if you do something that you are interested in or you cannot forget about it, it will always ring in your mind. Whatever we write on sites should be something that will definitely encourage or uplift someone else so if you share you cannot forget about it. People will only save this work when they know they will be sharing it elsewhere. It seems like there are more and more scan sites coming up then genuine ones. The real one’s are very few so people have to be very careful when they are working in certain sites.

      • On some sites I do research, I prepare a document of the best quality. And if I lose it, sure I can sort of recall what I wrote, but to do it again? That makes me rather sad.

    • Oohh my you have absolutely shocked me when you say that Jamaicans bleach! I have always upheld Jamaicans in high regard for the way they embrace their culture but this has definitely down graded them close to zero. Nigerians are known for this things ever since time in memorial. They are the queens of bleach, there is this one time a friend of mine told me that man from Congo and Nigeria bleach themselves and I refused but as time went but I began to see it for myself. My country is also becoming addicted to this bleaching agents Nigeria being the top supplier. Am sorry to say this I don’t mean to offend anyone but it’s the truth. We can’t really blame them, if someone wants to be white let them be. I just fail to understand that people never learned from what Michael Jackson went through may his soul continue to rest in peace. This but suffered so much in the name of being white, to the point of his death and people still bleach themselves? Lots help us. What is so good about being white, when the whites are busy trying to ten themselves blacks are busy trying to bleach themselves why can’t we just be content with who we are? This thing about people bleaching so that they can get better jobs or better looking husbands or wives or trying to get rich is all absolute nonsense. People need to wake up to reality that even if you bleach yourself it’s only the outside that changes the inside will always remain the same your blood will never change it will always remind you that you were a black person once in your life and you will always be. Not unless you want to die and ask God to ressurect you as a white person. This really kissed me off be happy with yourself don’t try to change to somebody your not. BLACK IS BEAUTY ENJOY IT!

      • If you ever look at a picture of Vybz Kartel, or of Sandra Faulkner, (she was an Advisor to the PM) the level of bleaching will shock you. It is horrible. The skin gets destroyed. A Dr. told me that the ‘bleaching creams’ peel layers of the skin off. Some of the creams were to remove age spots or blemishes… just touched on the blemish… not massaged into the skin.

    • It is unfortunate that in the countries like Congo, Nigeria, Mali, Nigeria, and Jamaica people are after going for bleaching their whole bodies whereas in European countries the whites in their eagerness to appear black and brownish are going to beaches with creams meant for tanning their skin. Looks very funny
      The statistics reveal that it is only Jamaica which is a big supplier of bleaching products and the good market to use them are Congo and Mali just for getting good positions in the jobs
      But, they are not realizing the fact that BLACK IS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL. Lord Vishnu is black in color whereas Radha is fair. Lord Shiva is fair and Parvathi is black in color as per the description given in ANCIENT TEXTS. It is right to say that the bleaching can be taken up to make bodies white but there is no product that can bleach inside.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Judging a Man By the Woman on His Arm 7 years, 10 months ago

    The reality is that women judge men by the woman on their arm.   No matter what they look like, who they are, the woman they are with defines them.

    You might see Rick and think he is handsome or bright or […]

    • I honestly couldn’t have said this any better myself.

    • If a man is judged by the woman by his hand what is a woman judged by is it the man at her side too? Just thinking. We have been taught in our early ages that we should not judge a book by its cover right? But do people ever take that seriously I don’t think. Judging a person because of their status or who they are is wrong, you may judge and get very disappointed that what you thought was good turned out to be the worst thing ever. People have often said that a man will take a beautiful girl out on a date so that his ego can be boosted or so that he can have status, it may be true but is it right? We need to know what it is that we want in our lives, if you have a lady who you think is not good enough to be seen with you in public do your homework and make her be what you want her to look like don’t look at other women and say that your girl is not beautiful. It’s your duty to make her beautiful. Another thing when you look at someone you cannot judge them by the way they look, that may say very little about them what matters is what is within. He or she may look gorgeous or handsome on the outside but what about the inside does it have love it hatred it’s all a matter of choice so choose widely.

      • yes. You are right I really agree with you. When a man does not find the thing in his lady his greatness lies in making her beautiful. This is called the true manliness. He should at least make an effort. Why search for a beautiful lady who has nothing to do with his status? The same lady can be used up by anybody to elevate some other’s status also. Now, what is happening to the very concept of status? Everything lies not in the beauty of the lady in your arm but in her inner beauty. It is a mere foolishness to think that a beautiful lady will elevate the status of a man. So much so the vice versa.

        • It is sad to say, but it works. A guy who walks in with a beautiful woman has his status raised. That is why many companies provide ‘escorts’. These are NOT Prostitutes, these are beautiful intelligent women who are paid to go out with a man. They don’t have sex with him.

      • When a woman is seen with a NOthing man, it is assumed he is rich or famous. It is assumed ‘he has something’. If, over time, it is learned he doesn’t well then people try to figure out why she married him… assuming some ‘back story’.
