Yes you are correct. I still disagree with lending money to best friends even if they are in need of the money. Money is very bad and also good but when it comes to friendship, money should be far especially lending money to friends. If you want a friendship relationship between you and your friend to last, don’t lend him money. Instead of you to lend him 2000 to solve a problem, I rather you dash him 200 and ask him to manage the 200,that that’s all you have. Like that your friendship still Continues harmoniously. Am talking from experience,. If you study the reasons why many best friends broke up, you will realize that money to an extent is the cause of the end of the friendship. I have witnessed a lot of friendship that has been broken up because of lending money issue and that is why I believe this topic and also agree with the topic beyond doubt. Some friends though very good friends are not worth being helped on terms of money. This has made me realize my uncles word, he said you can never say a man is good until you do money business with him. If he is good with money business, you will know he’s good. So many friends of ours are not worth being lent some money because at last they will disappoint you. Because they are your best friends, that will make them always delay your payment even if the money comes around. They will be like, after all he’s my guy. They don’t remember again that their guy is also on need of money.

Thanks for sharing such a useful information. I have been a victim of this lending of hard earning money to friends whom I never heard from again.

you r right–want keep that friendship–dont do it

You know…Money is a real bad thing. It can never buy happiness of any kind but still it is one of the greatest need of life.
I have seen money destroying many relationships and that too for the whole life.
But one question which is coming to my mind at present is WILL THEN WE BE ELIGIBLE TO BE CALLED AS BEST FRIEND.
Don’t you think it is our responsibility to help our friend without thinking of the results.

I know that situation quite well. I have had friends who have shown their true friendship at some point, when they were aĺ over you and that will do anything fun you, be there whenever you need them. Until one day i offered to help a friend and housed her for 2 years. Not asking for anything in return. I would buy good, wash the laundry, cook and sometimes i would even go ahead and offer them transport whenever they needed help. So for me it was a simple day of lending a helping hand, i never expected anything on return.
Then one day my friend decides she is ready to move out because she got a job and a house. I was so happy for her, but what followed is something I didn’t expect. In fact she got a house just next to mine, there was not even a day that my friend would pass by my house to come and say hi. To me i felt like that was really a bad show. How much would it cost you to just go back to the person who helped you, thanked her and just appreciate what she did for you. I think that would be prudent right? I know if I was the one I would have gone back to my friend and just appreciate her for what she did for me. But I guess people are different. So friends sometimes cannot be trusted, if at all that can do that then what can’t they do if you lended them money? So I don’t think I would give my friend money especially when I expect them to pay me back.

Yes. If we lend money to our friend then friendship will be spoilt. Mostly he may not be able to return and if it is insisted it will result in relationship problems. good day.

Lending money to friends will result in relationship problem. In case we give we must be prepared not to insist on returning.

Is it possible to prepare the chicken rice in a rice cooker? Have you ever used a rice cooker?

Yes, it is very difficult for parents and children which school they choose for children to learn English especially for the non English parents in all countries because English has become the symbol of national and international prestige.

We learn English because it the need of time all countries for jobs and interaction on earth with people who speak English.

English is the true lingua franca, the world’s global language. It is the most widely used language in the world, spoken by well over a billion people in every continent. Significantly, in addition to almost 400 million native speakers, there are as many as a billion non-native speakers, suggesting that English as a second language is a vital skill for much of the world.

This is reflected in where you find English. It is a dominant language in business, science, I.T., aviation, seafaring, diplomacy, medicine, the internet, and many other industries. In an increasingly globalised world, English is expected as a basic requirement on any respectable CV – and bilingual speakers can enjoy much better employment prospects than those who speak only one language.

Learning English opens you up to masses of entertainment and arts. It’s the language of centuries of culture: of Shakespeare, Dickens and Austen; of Byron, Shelley, and Wordsworth; of Hollywood, the Beatles and Britpop.

It’s an official language of some of the largest and most important countries and organisations in the world, including the UN, the EU, the US and the UK. And as the one language to unite the world, it breaks down cultural barriers and acts as a common tongue for native and non-native speakers alike.

Learning English is a crucial step to becoming a truly ‘global citizen’. It’s a means of communicating in any country, in any part of the world.

Children do keep on thinking all the day long and that is the very reason behind these nightmares.All the day time events are stored by their brain and the result is nightmares.

You write an article on horrible dream watched by the children while sleeping you say causes day activities or fear of something, no my friend no. Nightmares come when bad conjunctions will be in the horoscope especially Mercury will afflicted by Mar or Saturn. I have seen many horoscopes people come to to be checked for their children.

One more thing I tell you when a babe is born two angels he or she gets one bad angle and the other good angle. there is a tussle between the good angle and bad angel 24 hours.

When children prenatal soul will be under the control of bad angel he or she will have bad dreams or nightmares due to bad angels. As you have seen babe sometimes smiles while laying on the bed looking to the sky, think who talks to the babe from the above. No one but good angels and the angle who is hovering over his or her head.

the bad bad angel that teases children whose name is (Enepsigos)
If you see such type of problem around you i tell you its treatment

Write on the children bad these words
Bathanael, Bind Enepsigo

I am sure the bad angel will never come near the child bed nor in dream to create nightmares.

Yes children have nightmares at night especially. For me I think the main cause of nightmare on children is fear and I will talk mainly on fear as the cause of children’s nightmares. I can remember when I was very tender like about 4 to 10 years when I used to have series of nightmares every night. What caused my nightmares I think is fear. After our usual night tales which are usually scary are being told in the night by our friends before going to bed, I tend to start imagining the whole story in real life. When i went to bed with the memory, it came out to my dreams resulting to a very terrible nightmare. I usually shouted whenever I had these dreams and my parents would come out and prayed for me. They would stay with me until I feel sleepy again. They make sure I slept before leaving me for their rooms. What baffles me mostly then was why it was only me in my family that had a lot of nightmares. My siblings rarely or didn’t have nightmares when they were small. Until now I can still remember clearly some of my dreams and how they started from the beginning to the end. Then, whenever I saw a movie and see coffin in that movie or even see spirit, I tend to imagine it in real life. I would automatically start seeing coffins around and the spirit will be like coming around me whenever I was alone. So this in the end really disturbed in dreams. Sometimes I dreamt when an empty coffins was chasing me in my dream and I would scream and wake up. Am even surprise that I don’t see the dreams again these days. The worst part was then I Hardly or never dreamt of anything positive. I was always negative in my dreams then. There was a time I saw a woman carrying a pot in her palm in my dream and screamed and woke up and u saw the exact shadow crossing our door, I guess it was a reflection from the dream. Then whenever I heard someone I know had died, I would be very scared thinking and imagining how and when the persons spirit will come out and visit me and most times I saw those dead in my dreams and I also would scream aloud a whole up. Another thing that made me have nightmares was the stories from my mother of her encounter with the spirit. After telling us this stories I would always imaging everything she told is was happening to me and this will affect my dream. There was a time this my nightmares started giving me concern to the extent I thought it was an every night event. But as I grew day by day all these are now past tense. I can now see even 20 coffins right in front of me and still sleep soundly, I can watch tens of horror movies and still will not shake.

But uptil now I still think not all children has nightmares. There are children who would sleep without even experiencing nightmares, they slept and woke up sound and good without making a lot of noise at night. Most times, the dreams of a child are not taken in vain, sometimes it’s been taken as a revelation from God or as a message from God. So when some children tell their dreams, their parents take it as a message from God’s messenger. They pray over it. But some people take children’s nightmares as just children’s fears, they do not think on both hands. They are just one sided. They take every of their nightmares as a child play and most times their dreams tend to happen. I think if God should send any message to the world, he willsend it through a child not an adult. Some Children due to everyday nightmares find it difficult to sleep and are most times scared of sleeping because of what they think they are going to see in their dreams.
On the other hand, children who have a lot of nightmares should be given proper spiritual attention because most times they are always being attacked by spirits in their dreams and they tend to win always. If no spiritual attention and prayers are being rendered to him the spirits might one day accomplish their mission and send him to his early grave via dreams. So parents should take note of that. Though all throughout when I had nightmares I never was given spiritual attention, God always saved me from not being affected by my nightmares. Some children due to the circumstances surrounding their birth are being visited by spirits in their dreams mostly marine spirits. They will always want to take away the life of the child by visiting him always in the dream. This post is really nice. I think my advice to parents is never take any of their children’s dreams as a child’s play. They should always take their dreams very serious and seek spiritual attention.

Dreams form an important aspect of sleep. From what I understood dreams are triggered by sounds, light, people speaking, noise, disturbed mind, worries, pressure, being unhappy or many others such reasons. I had read a book in my school during my childhood which had something about snakes and the children who are characters could not escape but later made it. This same thing repeated in the night with me as one of the younger characters.

I did get many dreams in childhood do get dreams even now but I always tried to understand and interpret why they occur as dreams or what we see in our are being messages being conveyed to us either by our body or by the mind. Extreme weather also seems to trigger dreams in children. So does bed wetting. A good article well elaborated. Dreams are a important and interesting subject of study.

You say right and your suggestions are very good but your suggestions may not applied on all the kids and toddlers because some baby born with rich wisdom and some are born with dull minded, some are born leaders, some are born comedians, some are born with serious nature and some are born with saintly qualities…You think more…

All things rest on parental genes that every child gets on his or her birth. Children cannot choose two things parents and childhood environment these two factors build the child’s character is called destiny.

To make your baby great you must choose his or her childhood environment decent and ideal and parents’ thinking must be positive. Keep in mind all parents that heredity seed that every child gets on birth as gift of God via parents flourishes in the early environment that we provide to our toddlers and kid and children.

Check your child’s birth trends and provide him or her the same atmosphere his or her birth traits will flourish very soon in the direction of of birth trends.

I would guess on the way you present situations here you are a good teacher, an ideal teacher for that matter. This is a very good approach to prepare to mingle with his peers. On this way, he would develop the attitude of standing alone, without the help his parents. He could manage to do what he wants. By doing, he knows what is right. He knows what is wrong. As you have said, you overprotected your daughter and you know what attitude she had developed them for such over protection. To admit it or not, she couldn’t make a decision on a simple thing without her mother or without an assistant.

Anyway, as the child has to undergo the basic growth from infancy to adulthood, he should be exposed to the activities which a growing child should tackle with. I don’t believe that the child isn’t always ready to go to pre-school if he doesn’t display the traits you have outlined above. I believe that every child is always ready. It is just a matter of exposing them, providing what he needs, and giving him the free will to develop himself.

When my children wanted to play outdoor, I let them do it and never hold them inside the house. I believe they need to play with other children, sometimes they return home crying because of other children, bruises and wounds but this can be treated. Its all part of their growing. It make them stronger and more participative to other. I believe to develop them is to let them join the community, of course with the guidance of the parents.

When you think your child is upto going to school and you wanna introduce him into a pre-school. I don’t think it is necessary to know if he’s ready or not. If a parent keep on waiting for their child to be ready to go to school,they will certainly not go to school cos they know that going to school for that few hours will make them lose the sight of their parents and they wouldn’t like that. I cried even upto the age of 6 but my parents wouldn’t heed to weep
They would just laugh and went home to come back at the end of the day to come take me home.
Every child must cry at the first year of school unless the mother is a teacher in the school. Once you drop your child and turns your back to go home the child must in one way or another show anger. No matter how good your tactics is the child’s brain must relay to him that the mother is going to leave him.
But once a parent is ready to enroll his child into a school for the first time, he should consider things that made him happy when he was tiny. If he was so much in love with biscuits and cakes and toys and you think it makes him happy, buy a lot of them for him and make sure they are in abundance and do give a bit to the teacher to hold for them and make their teacher keep an eye on every of their step so as not to damage the toys. If they stay with the toys for the whole day, the teacher can withdraw them from him as soon as the parents come to take him home.Next day she brings it out again with the new biscuit the parents buy for them for a new day.
Your child tends to interact with other children and play with them very much and this will improve his sociality. This will make him adapt to school as day passes. Before the age of 4,he will stop crying as soon as you drop him in school provided you provide him with everything he needs.

Yes, children are the source of help for parents at home and out of home but the children should be obedient otherwise the children add sorrows for parents.

But the age increasing the children demands change they add charm in parents life but in teenage the children should be treated carefully it is age in which most of the children fall prey to bad habits that make problems for parents in future permanently.

Children should be taught to consult in any problem so that they could be parents’friend and thus their half problems may be decreased anon. Keep in mind children are the labor of parents’ soul. Children are pleasure in childhood, support in the young age and in old age they are companions for the parents.

When my little brother was three years old also he showed interest in what we the older ones used to do in the house but we wouldn’t allow him cos he might get injured. But he always proved stubborn and still wanna do it. This made us beat him so as to make him stay clear.
There are house chores that matches with children’s ages. You can’t give a chore of ten year old child to a four year old child and you can’t give a 14 year old a chore meant for a twenty year old adult. When this happens we tend to call it child abuse.
When you give a kid those simple chores he can do, he derives joy from doing it because he will to an extent take it as a child’s play.
Chores kid can do include :
Cleaning the table after each meal.
Going to the next door shop to buy something.
Preparing everything for cooking and get them ready.
Sewing their clothes manually not with the use of machine.
Swipping their rooms to their test.
Washing their undies
Getting their clothes ready for parents to wash or be the ones to download the clothes into the washing machine.
When I say kid I mean children from 6 to 12 years.
Fetching drinking water from the tap with their water bottle and so on.
They should not go on an errand to far places, they shouldn’t fetch water with heavy containers, they shouldn’t carry any heavy loads on their heads and they shouldn’t do the cooking. This is termed child abuse if they should do any of them.
Giving children chores that matches their age will make them grow gradually and do things and also think according their age.
When you make a child do what is meant for an adult, he begins to think he’s an adult and that really will affect his growth and development.

How exquisite! I love pretty food! Sharing! 🙂

The cookie is one of the best cookies made on Deepavali by our Hindu families I think it is their national dish yea it looks like a pick rose but I do not know its taste. Actually is Anglo Indian cookie but is famous among the Indian during Deepavali festival and among the Christians during Christmas. It is made on the pattern on the Christmas fruit cake.

I think it will be delicious in taste.

Noodles are fun food. I don’t usually eat breakfast. (Usually not hungry when I wake up.) But if these were served, I’d make an exception.

Since this is a breakfast item, do they have restaurants where they serve “Breakfast All Day” in China like we do in America?

Wow! I’ll try this one on my breakfast just to spice things a bit!

When I was a kid, like about 7 to 8 years, I was always involve in most of the house chores I can’t even do today am grown.
When I was of that age, my mother would come back from the market, I would leave everything I was doing, carry her bags, look for what to cook and start preparing them. When she came to the kitchen, she would be happy that her work has been done a bit. She will just do the cooking.
Then I never mind if my siblings were doing anything. I took pleasure doing it alone just to gain my parents praises.
On Saturday morning then, I will sweep the house, scrub the floor, scrub the kitchen floor, fetch water and do other things without complaining. I learnt a whole lot when I was a kid. Although I don’t do them any longer now because my siblings are all grown now,I still know how to do them with ease.
But some of my friends then didn’t bother to help their parents, they just relax and their parents did everything for them and give them food as well.
In most cases, most parents take their children so special and employ made to work for their children. They do not want anything to their children but indirectly they are harming their children to the core. When their children grow to adult, they will be very lazy and still expect maids to come work for them.
The very importance of household chores to children is to enable them know how to do things and also how to be independent when on their own.
If a child is being served by a maid always, he would be very dirty especially if he stays 1 to 2 weeks away from homes. Why?
Because he wouldn’t know how to work his clothes, take his bath, brush his teeth and other things.
The children when grown will suffer humiliation from the laughter of their mates especially when they are unable to do what their mates are doing.
This tags them the weekend vessels by their friends.

Yes, children at make mischief and that is why the children must keep must with work at home so that they could use their energies positively and it whelps the children in coming years.

I used many of these easy activities as a way to keep the older kids busy when I was pregnant with Louis. I had been thinking about how in the world am I going to preoccupy the kids when the baby needs to be fed, or changed, or just needs all the attention that a baby needs!

Which is why I was on a mission to find lots of activities for keeping kids busy with minimal effort on my part. I had tried all sorts of activities but fail.

Use these tricks to keep busy your children as
Measuring Cups. Simply a set of measuring cups can come in handy! Throw them in a bowl with some big spoons and they can mix something up for you!

Pots & Pans. Along the same lines as the measuring cups, pots and pans are great too! Let them mix and match the lids or stir something up for dinner.

Plastic Cups. Leftover plastic cups from a birthday party (or two or three)? Just hand a stack to your toddler. They’ll find something to do with them.

Pipe Cleaners. Add a colander or a strainer of some sort with big enough holes to fit pipe cleaners through and let your child poke the pipe cleaners through the holes. You could also use a spice container with large enough holes to fit the pipe cleaners through!

Tupperware. Let your toddler raid your Tupperware drawer. Stacking up the bowls will be fun enough, but they can even match up lids to their counterparts. And then take them apart and start over again

Research shows that children learn in many ways about family relationships and how their family functions. Being involved in household chores is one way they can learn.

When children contribute to family life, it also helps them feel competent and responsible. Sharing housework can minimize stress in a family. Getting kids involved in chores helps the family work better.

I was also told that chewing gum builds up confidence. If you’re nervous, you chew gum.

My friend you have given most important pieces of information about chewing gum that can help the readers. Really awful.

Wow,thats just awsome good information .I like chewing gum from my child hold but i didnt know the benefits of that.i like it specially i am in the ground playing cricket it release my tension because.I always keep 3,4 in my pocket.

Thanks for sharing this, it made me decided to get the chewing gum, but the one on rack is too sweet, I afraid they contains too many sugar.
I just realized that chewing gum can have so many benefits other than as a breathe fresherner.
Other benefits are very make sense too, like it can help to clean our teeth to reduce teeth decay, and make us awake. I personally need sweet or chewing gum during a long and boring meeting for avoid from falling into sleep.
But, I am a bit skeptical on it can help on weigh loss. As mentioned earlier, the chewing gum here are quite sweet, thus take a lot might cause high in sugar level.
So, I would suggest to take fresh fruits as snack for instead if really really feel like wanna to take something.

The points on the benefits of chewing gum are quite interesting. I am really trying to stop smoking . But I am unable to. I actually want to go for e-cigarettes. But people advised me not to go for them as they are merely waste. So I am searching for a better method to dispense with the smoking.

There are some valid points for argument in favor of chewing gum. But how it helps in weightloss is not clear. Of course the weightloss has nothing to do with my case. So I want to give a try .

I love chewing gum every so often will you find me chewing gum. I find it a lot of fun but the only problem is that sometimes I get bloated when I chew find but to avoid that I won’t chew a fun for too long I will give myself a break at some point to give my teeth a rest. The above benefits are true the only thing that am not aware of is that it makes someone become hungry. Maybe it’s because I don’t chew long enough to feel hungry.

Chewing gum is enjoyable especially to people that know how to chew it but if you are chewing, be mindful of the disadvantages.
I am a chewing gum freak.i can chew gum for up to 10 to 15 hours a day. What prolongs my chewing gum hours is my skills. What I enjoy most is the sound I make with it and the bubble I form with it . but everything is now in the past cos I have lost my two molar teeth that enhances my enjoyment.
After a day of long hours of chewing gum comes a night of headache. I only have to sleep in order to gain my consciousness. Sometimes the headache last for a very long time. But this doesn’t stop me from chewing more gum. As soon as the headache vanishes, I go back chewing gum and I even chew gum with the headache intact. I manage cos of the addiction.
But now my two molar teeth has been removed, I just hope am gonna afford to chew gum. For the past 3 months, I have never chew gum, something that has never happened in half a decade.
But wellshall my dear I love your post very much cos at least people will know that chewing gum is not just all about keeping your mouth busy. It will make the bad breathed guys to know that good scent chewing gum could change their breadth for the main Time.
Chewing gum is good but don’t chew like I did cos If you do I pity your teeth. Lolllllllll.
Nice post

chewing gum relieves anxiety and relaxes you when your nervous–which I agree..some also good for your teeth or course and cant hurt to keep good breath.

Yes you have given really a very nice recipe for dry chicken to make at home and its ingredients are available everywhere in all cities and its method of cooking is easy. Thanks for giving a nice recipe.

Wow! This picture really tempting, with the white sesame on the top make it even smelling.
I can take two bowl of white rice with this curry chicken if this dish is served at home.
I like to buy the wet curry paste from the wet market at the Indian stalls as the India hawkers sell a lot of spicy ingredient here. They able to mix the spicy ingredient well, either for curry mutton, curry chicken, etc. Thus, we have to tell clearly when purchase.

The article is giving a good recipe for dry chicken curry. A good article.
But this is unfortunate that the dry curry paste and wet curry paste are now available in the malls also. Earlier people were preparing the dry curry paste and wet curry paste at home with proper taste suitable for all members of the family. They were avoiding such ready made stuff.

Until 5 years these were not available in the malls. But now everything has entered into the market.

They are not good at all. The dry curry paste is not at all good in taste. The dry curry paste is giving a sometimes bad smell. We have to be very careful in selecting the wet curry paste also.

There are certain shops in India were the dry curry paste and wet curry paste is prepared on the spot mixing the necessary ingredients as per our requirement with the readily available stuff. These shops are located adjacent to most of the chicken shops. One can purchase a good chicken and get the curry paste whether wet or dry prepared there and then itself.

I will try it and come back to you!

This is very useful information you have provieded. We love to eat spicy food,Indian and Pakistanis are love eating spicy food and fry food with a little bit spicy or some people like more spicy.

Here’s the story with me and curry. When I attended the University of Miami, there was a Chinese Jamaican who lived in the apartment above mine. Almost every day you could smell good food that he was cooking up. One day I just had to ask. “What’s for dinner?” He said: “Curry chicken.” Never got a chance to taste it. We didn’t know each other that well so he didn’t invite me in. It’s OK. I could tell by the smell it had to be delicious!

Fast forward, married with kids, and looking a way to make curry chicken and found this pre-packed chicken curry paste. Took at home and tried it. It was amazing!

These days my hubby wants the curry spice, not in paste form, but as a powder, in practically all of his dishes. It’s cool.

Curry was not a spice my late mother had in her kitchen cabinet. Glad to have been introduced to this spice later on in my life though. 🙂 I love spicy food.

Dry chicken curry is delicious in eating I have eaten one day at my friend’s home I enjoyed the curry really I cooked at my home the next day but could not make. The thick curry has ingredients like curry powder, tomato, ghee and onion with chicken. Lemon juice and coconut is sprinkled to make it dry.

Ingredients:

60 gms ghee
2 Onion (Pyaj)s, thinly sliced
2 clove (laung)s garlic (lasan), thinly sliced
