    Do you always dream of the same incident over and over? I do not know the meaning of dreams, but last night it happened again.

    I always dream that I lost […]

    • no recurrent dreams an it is kind of scary to have recurrent dream as if you are oing to have it in real, i have friends who really got a dream many times in her life that she is obsessd with it now nad fair it will hapen to hear one day, it is really hard to know if its sign or just dream with no meaning

      • I am just curious why it keeps coming back in my dreams; that situation where I always lose my bag. And I wake up always afraid and puzzled.

    • I do not say that it is bad or good of dreams. But, dreams carry some meaning and this much I know. There are people who give more attention to a dream and waste their time thinking about it. This is a scientific world. We will be coming across many situations and sometimes our brain waves catch the frequencies of waves having similar value and characteristics. The will result in dreams. Some psychologists say that they act as premonitions.

      • Thank you for your reply sivasubrahmanyam. Maybe it was because I am thinking of so many things; or maybe out of fear of losing something. I don’t know. I am referring to my “lost bag dream.”

    • I don’t know what the dreams mean but I’m getting tired of those dreams where I get lost in a familiar place and should know my around but I can never seem to get to my final destination. It’s very frustrating! When I wake up from these kinds of dreams, I am so annoyed! On the plus side though, it’s just a dream! 🙂

    • Dreams can sometimes be just the opposite of what we are , as what you said about your dream of your bag being stolen by a thief when in real life you are a very systemic person.

      A type of dream that keep recurring for me is that I am always late for occasions. I would always dream that I am just taking a bath , yet the party at a friend’s house has already began hours ago.

      That’s always the type of dream I have , late for occasions or any event.

      Though, I am not late on any occasions , but sometimes even early.

      Well, dreams are dreams. They don’t have meanings as I have read. It’s us , the dreamers who puts meanings to our dream.

      Though, when it recurrent, one can’t help putting some meaning to them or wondering what its message is.

    • What a beautiful grandchild! You are so blessed! 🙂

    • Thanks, Treathyl FOX. Yes he is such a cute little boy now!

    • Birth of a child is a thing which should be a natural processes according unless of course for medical reasons. I am happy that the child is now healthy and it a big relief for the child and and the family. It is a great battle with health condition which the family has fought and overcame. Wish him many such Happy Birthday’s. If the same child when he grows up and becomes a big shot then no one will make any fun about the child or the date on which he was born.

      As my take on this there are 365 days in a year and each day is unique and has its own significance. So all days have to be respected equally. So should be people born on those days. I am happy he is healthy and having a great day. At the end of the day that is the most important thing which one wants in life. Don’t you agree?

      • Thank you Krishna Kumar. Yes, any day of the year is important, and it only so happened that there is such a date people of the West considered as a “joke” day.

    • happy that your baby have a healthy child now, fool april things is not something that we like, we used to when we were kids but now we dont bother about it. hope he grow happy and find your happiness in him too, that is the most important in east or west and bless him how nice he look sleepy like that

    • Congrats for having a healthy grandson this time that he is one year old.That was so crucial to your family having always seen the boy in bad health. It is not all the time clouds appear in our lives, most of the time bright sun with colored rainbows to delight our days all year round.

    Is your sleep always disturbed by a pesky biting mosquito? Or do you fear having malaria or dengue from the bite?

    Then I will share with you one of the practices by old folks a long time ago to get rid of […]

    • I think smoke is the best way to drive away mosquitoes which usually more in number in the evening hours and spend the night in the house. And bite the inmates of the house. It is easy to drive them away by using smoke of especially neem leaves which are dried. They act as a good repellent. People use the electric bat but the number of mosquitoes is more compared to the number getting killed. One more feedback is many people here are not liking the smell of electrocuted mosquitoes. Better to put oil in water bodies and see that other places where water accumulates and mosquitoes breed are kept dry. Thanks for the share.

      • Yes, neem leaves are mosquito repellant too, and if burnt,its smoke can drive away mosquitoes. Putting oil in water puddles, or salt can kill the larvae to prevent it from multiplying. Thanks for the additional information.

    • I know what you mean about people misusing photos and selecting featured images that don’t even relate to the post. It’s even more frustrating when it’s your image and somebody else is misusing it! Glad you learned how to watermark. Going to share this tip in my social networks. Others may be having the same problem.

      • Thanks Treathyl FOX. Yes, we can help other members from having copyright issues; just use or upload photos from free sites like Pixabay.com, but though it can be used for free, give it credit, mention the name of the site to help it too.

        They can search the tutorial on Google.

    • Good to know that the photos of your’s which were being used by others without giving credit. Those blogs were removed by the admin. You have made a good suggestion that literacybase give names of sites from where they can be uploaded. In the article you have not mentioned the watermarking tutorial site name. If you can do so it will be useful. One more thing is watermarking to be done only on the photos which we have taken personally or can it be done on other photos which have been uploaded from free sites pinterest or pixabay and the like ?

      Anyways useful information given by you. How much time did it take for your learn and do the things which needed to be done? If we can use our own images made from paint even that would be good in my opinion. Appreciate the good research done and the results published in the blog.

      • Thanks Krishna Kumar. We can only watermark photos that we took ourselves, or we do really own the photo. For some of my photos, I just used paint app.

        Anyone can search for it on Google. The tutorial videos for beginners on how to watermark or label your photos.

    I agree, but the admin should immediately remove the spammy/”nuisance” blog which carries the same title (for several blogs). One time it dominated all the blogs posted, so I thought someone who “hates” this site wanted to ruin it.

    The admin should not approve such blogs so the member can correct it at once, so he will comply with the rules here.

    acelawrites wrote a new post, Appreciate the Work of Service Crews, Common Employees, Laborers 7 years, 8 months ago

    Image credit:Pixabay.com, free images

    Now that I came to know that most service crews, and other employees receive very low salaries, I appreciate them and their efforts just to earn a living.

    It was so […]

    • Work is worship and worship is God. So anyone who puts effort to earn a living and takes what is due to him or her after a hard days work is to be respected. More so people like those who are just a small part of a very large work force in many countries. I find it sad that their lives or work seldom gets respected. Which is not correct. I do not know what the individuals who possess wealth tend to think so. They act as if they have landed from mars and others who work are all good for nothing.

      This concept called the dignity of labour has to be respected in all countries. Children have to be taught the same too as I find them putting down these workers or speaking about them in a degrading way. This attitude has to be changed during the childhood itself or it would be a problem for them and others whom they would be working with. They learn this from the elders and the elders should be behaving responsibly in the first place.

      • Very well said, Krishna Kumar. You are right, we have to respect them who labour so much to earn a little money and they do the lives of the moneyed ones easier too by offering their services.

        They should be regarded as very important people too because without them, nobody will do the hard work, the manual labor which the rich abhor.

    • I am one of those people who really have a soft heart for these workers especially the old women peddling vegetables on the side of the walkway of the market.

      I can see my sisters and mother in them. That’s why too I don’t haggle with their prices anymore. I take it as it is. It’s my help for them at least.

      Even those service crews, I see to it that I talk kindly to them. When I want something, i really say please then thank you.

      At least that way, they will feel dignity in working.

      Some of the service crews are working students. They work while they study. It’s heartwarming that they finance themselves through college by being service crew of restaurants.

      So, everytime we go to restaurants or fastfood chains we should also say please, thank you and smile at them.

    • Dignity for labor is a good concept. But, it does not mean that the children are targeted for it. The children are supposed to enjoy their childhood and the grown ups are suppose to earn for his family if it warrants so. Their primary concern should be for education only. But, this situation is not prevailing anywhere means there is something wrong went wrong with the policy makers and Administrators and this is continuing without any interruption. We all show sympathy but when it comes to practice we stand somewhere in the corner and watch the situation. Of course, this is changing slowly as there are many N.G.Os which are taking up such situations seriously and working to improve the situation. Even in India also, this is picking up pace. This is enough if we support them of course, with a little bit of caution which should always be there as showing sympathy nowadays has become a SIN.

    It was in the television news last night about a girl (or a lady) who died after undergoing beauty enhancement.

    It was liposuction which involved the […]

    • the lady is too vain.. she has undergone 3 surgeries before that another 3 which caused her death. I feel sorry for her kids, they are too young to lose their mom and the lady is too young to die.

      • Yes, it could be due to vanity. She’s already beautiful, I don’t know why she still wants to look more beautiful! She’s only 29 years old.

    • Beauty lies in our eyes. What is beautiful for one is not so for others. I read about an African lady weighing — more than 500 kg or so — being given treatment in Mumbai , India. Such treatments involve quite an amount of risk and must be resorted to only when it is essentially needed.

      Supposing one weighs 150 Kg plus then also — it is better to reduce food in take and take other form of exercises and not resort to operation like this. May her soul rest in peace

      • Thanks for your reply. Yes, such medical procedure to lessen one’s weight can be done if the person is too much overweight like the lady you mentioned who weighed 500 kg.

        If not, diet and exercise are the best things to do rather than putting life in danger.

    • The news is really a sad one. So young and so pretty. She may have reasons for seeking these enhancement procedures. We will surely never know her reasons for she is not around anymore to answer the question.

      But as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Another thing, inner beauty is much better than the outer beauty.

      But we cannot blame people if they choose this kind of enhancement procedures, like people in the movie industry. They have to invest on their physical appearance, otherwise, they may not have any more projects to do. Even veteran actors and actresses, no matter how good they are, they are requested to do some ‘beautification’ if they want to have projects.

      Whether or not you need these enhancements, check first if your body can endure the procedure you will have to undergo or seek 2nd opinion or ask around for any side effects of the procedure.

    • I was so shocked when I first heard the news on the early morning show news. I really got so interested that when I arrived in the office early, I read the news online.

      Yes, she was so beautiful. In fact, I keep thinking if her nose was also enhanced because it was a very well chiseled nose, that I envied her. he he he

      Anyway, my officemate said that in the news it was said that she’s a single mother. So they said at the office that maybe she needs to beautify herself to catch a rich and handsome father to her child.

      That’s how it is when you have lots of money to spend. She’s a successful businesswoman.

      It is not bad to have an enhancement. I would certainly would like one , to remove my eyebag and flatten my stomach. But I don’t like them to be done through the knife, but rather through laser which is safer. I think they can be done through laser.

      But you are right, natural is beautiful , though if the enhancement will not require surgery then it’s okay.

    • That is true she is so beautiful business lady, actually she was a regular customer to that beauty clinic. That time it was her boobs and butt to be improved, yet the doctors failed to analyze that their patient was asthmatic. That was the reason why along the way of enhancing her, her heart stopped breathing.

      That hospital was on suspension order by the Supreme Court.The doctors are in jail there are two of them all Chinese doctors relatives of the owners. They were not the usual doctors that enhanced her. May she rest i peace.

    • Beauty lies in eyes or somewhere it a different matter.
      It really sucks to here that the young kids lost their young mom.she, in all her eagerness to enhance her beauty met a tragic end.
      The liposuction is taken up unless the doctor makes basic tests. He can not recommend this test for each and everyone. He takes all precaution how much fat one has got in the body and how much is safe to remove. These are the basic things. This is actually a safe method to enhance beauty as the patient will not have to stay in the Hospital after Liposuction. But, it is made a complicated one by the Doctors who fail to take into account the basic precautions meant for the surgery.
      This surgery is preferred by men also sometimes.
      In the year 2013, a person in Hyderabad preferred to reduce his belly fat and preferred this surgery. Everything was done and he returned to his house. But, all of a sudden he developed some complications and was again taken to Hospital and he could not be saved.
      Ladies on account of the nature of their profession prefer to have this surgery for certain profession it is not the inner beauty that is preferred but the personal appearance. The personal appearance without any elementary knowledge, mannerisms, gestures, education etc., will have an edge over inner beauty in certain profession.

    • Death is indeed very cruel but we sometimes bring upon ourselves with the things that we do. I feel sorry for the lady who lost her life doing a procedure that did not go well with her may her soul rest in peace. Sometimes I ask myself is it really worth the pain and time to go through this things? Yes I know we all want to look pretty and up to date in the society but some of the things we have to go through to get nice looking bodies is very disturbing.why can’t women just accept themselves the way they are and avoid so many problems surely. This surgeries that are done in our bodies only bring lots and lots of pain. Yes you will achieve the look that you want but how about the consequences later do you ever think about that? I guess not. You can still get the results you want if you only eat right and exercise more often that way you won’t have to worry much about how you look because you will be looking good. Food make a you look good if you eat it in the right way and the right quantity. Stay healthy and well.
