    Hacking has been known to everyone since 1990, when the Internet became commercially available in the 1st World and for us, in Jamaica, we knew about it, even before we could get onto the Great Cyber Highway.

    • Yes. The people during the campaign too light of Mr. Donald and vehemently criticized him starting from his mouth to every organ of the body.
      It is the xenophobia as well as the racism that stirred up their minds making the gray matter more powerful tool with analysis and self-conscience.
      Hacking as you said is not at all an issue and it will be the stupidity to blame Russia for the victory of Mr. Donald. Still, they are not realizing this aspect and continuing arraigning the Russian Government in the politics of the U.S.

      • What is so significant is that you and I see this so clearly, and persons who are supposed to know better, don’t.

        People voted for Trump. Maybe a lot of people who didn’t like Hilary very much assumed that Trump couldn’t win so didn’t vote.

        However, unless they have proof that the Russians hacked into the voting machines, they should just shut up and stop making trouble.

    • you have to download and use different malware. You have to be sensible. We can’t blame other people when we are at fault. This thing with the DNC just causes the world to lose respect for them.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Once a Week vs Every Other Day Shopping 7 years, 10 months ago

    I used to have a motorcycle  which I rode to and from work.  Every day, almost, on my way home from work, I’d stop at a particular crummy supermarket and buy what I felt like.  I didn’t know what I’d eat for di […]

    • Regular shopping is good for not to miss anything that comes in the form of offers, deals, and fresh stock. But, it needs a lot of patience also. It is actually a test for patience. Coming all the way from a bike and parking it in the appropriate place means it is a challenge. Can you park every day in the Cellar meant for the two wheelers? Is it not a test for your patience? But one has to develop this activity to improve one’s personal relationships with others in the society we live in. This is a good habit.
      The other benefits are monetary but the developing inter-personal relationship is more than that.

      • I park right at the front of the store, in the handicap parking…(I do have a pin in my leg). I do have a lot of good relationships with all the people around the market, as I take my venture like a social engagement. So it does enhance that relationship as you mentioned.

    • I used to think once a week was good, but I prefer being able to run in when I want and not have to make that many plans. When it comes to vegetables, I always pick those that look a little handicapped or like they suffered to avoid GM.

    • I am no fan of shopping. Believe me. I don’t like it one bit. But it is something that needs to be done. Shopping daily is just ridiculous. Shopping once a week is better. I am actually looking into shopping for groceries online now. There are many services that we can do that now.

    kaylar wrote a new post, Riding a Motorcycle; being a Woman 7 years, 10 months ago

    It was many years ago when I was waiting for a bus when I saw a dumb looking guy shooting past on a motorcycle.  I thought to myself, “I can ride a bike, how hard could a motorcycle be if this guy can operate […]

    • The main thing is to get from Point A to Point B. When I was growing up, we had a pretty good public transportation system. As a result, I rode buses all over Miami, Florida, and into the Greater Miami areas as well (Coral Gables, Miami Beach, etc.) I didn’t learn how to drive until I got married. I was 21 years old by then. I drove lots of places, i.e. different states in the US and different cities within the state of Florida. Having a reliable form of transportation – public or private – is very liberating.

      The motorcycle were never my thing because I never learned how to ride a bike. By the way, I don’t recommend that. Riding a bike is a life skill and it’s something everyone should learn how to do. I missed out but encourage others to do so. Also, never learned how to swim. Another important life skill. My kids taught themselves how to ride a bike and swim. Thank goodness they didn’t rely on me! 🙂

      • You are not too old to learn. Listen, Ema… who is 100 years old, went to school to learn how to operate a computer at the age of 89. You should learn how to swim, (life saving for sure) and ride a bike… it’s really nice.

    • This has happened to me before too. Then I realized that you and another can bother be doing research and information can lead you to taling about the same topic but in different ways.It’s still good to check in on a topic that looks similar to yours to make sure though.

      • Oh yes… that is key. Make sure; but also I find that when I’m writing I have to NOT read any one else’s stuff so that I don’t wind up taking ‘your’ topic.

        It was amazing, I’m in Jamaica, the chap was in England, and I was watching the BBC World Service News, which touched on Bubonic Plague and ran to research it. He was watching the News on the BBC, which ran the same story, and he was fascinated by various plagues.

    • It also happens here in Philippines, bias news, fake news, unreliable news, the only reason is to create trouble and release their hatred, to scam and to distort the minds of the people.It is not only fake news, likewise fake persons. Just recently one young lady was stabbed to death after meeting a boy friend met in Facebook. It is not wise to accept someone;s love on line hehehe. Fortunately, the suspects is o detained in jail. He left something in the crime scene with his name inscribed on it, so God does not sleep and the criminal must pay. That is why, there are are many fake persons not only ads or news,LOL.

      • Many years ago, as a project, I joined dating sites, (I wrote about it on this site somewhere) and it was clear to me that a lot of what was there was untrue. But people are too gullible. They believe things without proof.

    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.

    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?

    • 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…
