    @haraka/

    oh what a pity! It is true that some people fear of kittens, cats, pups or dogs.

    These are related to childhood memories.

    Maybe you were bitten or scratched by them or your parents said” No, dirty cats, don’t touch, germs, etc” that kind of stuff.

    That is why you had that fear in your brain. It is a normal reaction for you to get…[Read more]

    Nope I never had earting disorder problem but I did had throwing up because I forced myself to do it.

    So, everytime I eat food, I had sharp pain in the between my diaphram.

    Those stones were stuck in the gallbladder pipeline .

    So, the bile duct couldn’t move forward.

    Firstly, sorry to hear about it.

    I heard that breast C is a hereditary disease. Is it true?

    Like Angelina Jolie case.

    I have 2 sister-in-laws and a niece who had breast C.

    Both sister-in laws were hereditary case because their sisters and mom had the same disease too.

    Only my niece isn’t which is the weird case.

    Sometimes, I just couldn’t apprehend the fact that this is the TREND.

    Most teenagers do lock themselves in the room for many reasons.

    • Privacy
    • Own space
    • Homework
    • Sleeping
    • Doing stuff that a teen doesn’t want parents to know (???!!)

     

    When I was a teenager, I NEVER had my own room.

    I had to share my bedroom with my mom.

    Have you tried consuming bitter gourd ?

    • Thanks for sharing this recipe and tips for preparing the dish. When I saw the picture and topic, I was thinking this is really like the dish we usually have at home, and then it’s from you, that’s why! 😀

      My mom taught me to use salt to “wash” the bitter gourd in order to reduce the bitterness as well, but my husband and I like the bitter taste, so I don’t do that. So it becomes much easier for me to prepare this dish. My two young children do not like this at all. Perhaps they might like it when they grow older. I didn’t like to eat bitter gourd at all when I was young too, I started to eat because of it’s good for health and my husband likes it, and now I just like it very much!

      Thank you for sharing the rest of the recipes here as well. I am going to check them out soon. I am not a good cook, but just always cook some simple dishes at home. 🙂

    • Interesting…wonder whether dandelion roots and/or old greens would add enough bitter flavor to make this recipe work with zucchini?

    • My mom cooks this vegetable a lot. When I was in grade school, she prepares sautéd bitter gourd with egg and I love it! After slicing the bitter gourd, she will mix it with salt and squeeze it to lessen the bitter taste. You should prepare this dish to your kids because its nutritious unlike frozen products that contains some chemicals that are bad to their health or worse, cancerous products.

    I agree with you.

    We as parents, should start to plan for our old age plan now , at our 40s.

    We need to invest our savings into other places where we could accumulate interest .

    That means more money, easier lifestyle in future.

    Then, we don’t have to worry when we are old.

    Spanking is not well accepted in the modern society.

    Nowadays kids are not stupid to just stay there, let mommy spank them.

     

    They would retaliate in form of  anger, physically and verbally.

    In addition spanking doesn’t change a child`s behavior.

    Instead, it may deterioate further his hatred towards parents.

    I got some from share media sites visitors.

    Internal traffic is pretty slow here.

    So i can’t depend entirely on our traffic here.

     

    Or maybe we can help each other by promiting our posts url at facebook.

    I noticed that old folks don’t plan for their future.

    For example, my parents and my parent in laws.

    They are in their 70’s and 80s.

    Still, they are living with their older or youngest child.

    When they were in their middle age, they slogged like hell, for the sake of the family, fed the kids, educate them but they do not keep aside some money…[Read more]

    I had a gallbladder surgery removal too, 11 years ago.

    Back then, I weighed 60kg for a 146cm height mom.

    That is a short, plump POE for sure.

    Then I kept having gastric pains, went to see doctor and he said I had gallstones not gastric pains.

    ditto here, I had uploaded 5 photos in my post using “insert photo” but the image pixel are very tiny, 150x 150.

     

    I had to drag the photo to become larger and submitted.

    Anyway, it came out small, as original. Doesn’t do much difference.

    But the featured image was really really huge and clear!
