    • You can save and delete your posts.I have done that You could do that too.

    • It is more a site that was created by someone who had no knowledge whatsoever about such sites that it got messed up even before it could be well established. I could save a few posts but now it is suspended and one cannot reach it any more.

    • The Day I heard about Tinycent I was pretty certain it was a scam. Then some guy came on posting how he’d spoken to the Owner and the Owner told him… so I knew it was a scam.

      gotmatter is the continuation as the government shut down Tinycent, which is why the server is in singapore.

    Is flooding more than what it used to be 10 or 20 years back. What are the authorities able to do to reduce the suffering of people? Is there any international help available?
    I think at least Asian countries (incl. India) can collaborate to save people during floods and natural disasters.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, A Stray is no Different From a Pedigree 7 years, 11 months ago

    A Pedigree breed is what we thought would be ideal to adopt as pets and we did move in that direction. We have had two of the pedigree pets and others a mix with a strain of pedigree in all of them. After all […]

    • Training with compassion does the trick When they know we love them they will do as we tell them

    • Well, the definition of stray and pedigree are entirely different. Pedigree has to do with a class of animal. For example, if the dog is purebred or of mix breed. A stray is an animal that has no place to call home regardless of its breed. I say this because we found a stray chihuahua once (we still have her). Just like children, all dogs have a unique personality about them. They are all different. I have three dogs and they all act differently. My pit bull is quieter and laid back, while the chihuahua likes to run around barking at everything. Their puppy (yes, the pit bull and the chihuahua mated) likes to run around and jump up and down and is the happiest puppy ever that loves to tear up furniture.

    • My first dog was a purebred miniature shetland sheep dog. She lived till the ripe old age of 16 years and never developed any diseases except for a little bit of arthritis. She was also a joy to have and to hold and to cherish. My second dog was a miniature American Eskimo, pure white with a brown nose and brown eyes. But being of the category spitz dog, she was quite the handful and needed constant training and watching. She would even jump the fence and that is what happened one day. She jumped the fence and even though I looked high and low for her, I never found her. My third dog was a mix German Shepherd and Husky. She also lived till about 17 years old.She was definitely a joy to hold, to love, to pet and cherish. I really enjoyed my walks with her especially in the winter. Being part Husky, she fared much better when it was cold. All dogs, whether purebred or stray or mixed breeds deserve a loving hand and home.

    On November 8 the Prime Minister of India announced demonetization of currency notes with a denomination of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 Reports have it that it was a dictatorial announcement – not even the Finance M […]

    • This daring move by India’s PM made the news in the USA. I was dumfounded. I thought to myself “Is this going to work?”

      So it wasn’t a good idea huh? Can’t say I’m surprised at the results. But when crime is bad and something has to be done, I can sort of understand the PM thinking “We need to do something drastic!” He must have been desparate!

    • Black money in cash is only 6% and rest is in gold, property and other instruments.And much of it is stacked in Switzerland.

      This has put the middle class and poor who mostly deal in cash at great hardship.
      What can they do with 2000 rupee notes? There are many other restrictions too

    • Not trying to tell the PM how to govern, but leaders need to think of the impact of their decisions on the masses before implementing solutions. Why should the middle class and poor always have to suffer? Life is hard enough for them without making an “everyday activity” a “criminal offense”. The thought of this just makes me angry and I’m not even the one being directly impacted. But I do empathize.

      • As they say ends do not justify means and here the means are disastrous. People are dying waiting in queues. With frauds in banks there is no currency left for the common man. But they being in the majority opposition is struggling to send the message.

    • Our politicians!! What can we say about them. And of course the rich and the corrupt always know about these things in advance. There are reportedly billions of dollars in Swiss banks that aredeposited by corrup[t third world leaders and flats, chateaus, diamonds, even castles. They will not be affected by these decisions. It is always the poor who suffer. Not a fan of Modi for many other reasons too. And you can bet there will be “incidents” that take away media’s and people’s attention away from these issues and focus on those instead.

    • You are so right. Just about 6% is in currency and this man is trying to arrest black money. Already new notes are in the hands of those who have converted their black money into white.

    I don’t think so we could reach $100 per month.

    Unless the writer is hard working and persistent.

    Lets say that 1000 words post earns 33 cents, if you can write 10 posts of 1000 words , then it is possible…

     

    33 cents x 10 posts : $3.30

    $3.30 x 30 days: $99

     

    But how many of us could write 1000 words per post???

    • I have a Twitter account dedicated to foodies and food lovers. Tweeted this! 🙂

    • Yes, it is a nice and easy recipe for the readers and domestic women. My mom makes it as I will describe it easy words but I do not like it because its taste I do not like.

      Ingredients

      1 cup organic vegetable broth
      1/2 cup fresh orange juice
      1/2 cup dry rosé wine
      2 teaspoons dried herbes de Provence

      4 garlic cloves, minced
      1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut into 8 (3/4-inch-thick) slices
      3 small eggplants, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
      3 small zucchini, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
      1 Vidalia or other sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
      1 large red bell pepper, cut into 8 wedges
      4 small tomatoes

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Oats and Nuts Teabread Recipe 7 years, 12 months ago

    This morning, I just found an old scrapbook recipe that I had cut and pasted recipes from newspapers and magazines.

     

    One of the bread recipe that I had always wanted to try out is Oats and Nuts […]

    • It is a good and delicious recipe for the readers but in different countries it is different. I like it most.Here’s an excellent method for making oatmeal overnight in the fridge. A lot of overnight oatmeal recipes have a raw oat flavor that I don’t care for, but these oats are made with a hot tea/milk mixture that eliminates that raw taste.

      I love the convenience of being able to serve freshly made oatmeal on a busy morning without having to stand at the stove, cooking and stirring. Simply pull these out of the fridge and eat them cold or, if you prefer, zap them in the microwave for a minute or so.

      cou1 c. plus 2 tbsp. flour
      3/4 c. sugar
      1 tsp. salt
      1 tsp. soda
      1 tsp. baking powder
      1 tsp. cinnamon
      1/2 tsp. nutmeg
      1 c. quick cooking oats
      2 eggs, beaten
      1 1/4 c. applesauce
      1/3 c. vegetable oil
      1/4 c. milk
      TOPPING:
      1/4 c. brown sugar
      1/4 c. chopped nuts
      1/4 tsp. cinnamon

      Sift dry ingredients together in large bowl. Stir in oats. In another bowl, mix eggs, oil, applesauce and milk. Stir this into dry ingredients and then pour into a greased and floured 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle top of loaf with brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes to 1 hour and 5 minutesntries its making method is different as in my country.

    • I think it will be tasty sure because it looks nice on the plate. But my sister makes it so at home lat Friday she made it in the evening meal.
      Wash the fish head or fish steaks and pat dry. Keep aside.
      Heat oil in a wok or saucepan, add curry seeds mixture and ginger and stir fry over high heat for two to three minutes till the seeds pop.
      Cool slightly then pulse in a food processor to create the paste.
      In the same wok or sauce pan with the remaining oil, add garlic and stir fry till lightly browned.
      Add the curry paste and stir fry till fragrant and cooked.
      Add the onions and stir fry briefly for about one minute.
      Put in half of the coconut milk, bring to a boil, remember to keep stirring to avoid curdling.
      Add the fish, cook for 10 minutes before adding the remaining coconut milk and the tamarind juice.
      Add the tomatoes, red chilli, green chilli, curry leaves, salt and sugar.
      Simmer gently for about five to eight minutes or until the sauce is thickened to a desired consistency and the fish is cooked through.
      You may add more liquid if there is not enough gravy.
      Serve with steaming hot rice.
