    When we were at school there was a ‘clique’ of girls.  Today they’d call them ‘mean girls’ but in my day, I called them ‘class queens and their ladies in waiting’.

    These girls would ridicule others, they clung […]

    • This kind of people are envious people, insecure and minds dull.They are not also busy in their lives so their target to compromise their situation is attacked those they believed lucky and fortunate. That is as escape goat.

    • I have a childhood friend like this. She definetly wants to be somebody else. I already knew her since we were kids. She wants the attention of everyone. She always brag about her so called buddies in school that they rich, where they went, want they eat and exactly what they do. When i accompained her at her school i was disapointed with her grades it was totally a flop. You see, her parents working very hard to send her to school but she’s not studying well. But if you going to ask her what is the story of the novel she reads she knows everything even the smalest details of the book. Due to her laziness and dullness she ended up marrying someone she doesnt even know well with no stable job, doesnt own a house, and still living together with her parents and siblings. It is really true that you’re friend is you’re greatest foe. Some people i came accross are hypocrites blinded by their pride and motive to ruin a person.

      • The girls in the ‘clique’ none did very well. Many barely passed their subjects, more interested in hair style than history.

    I know a number of people, non-white, non-Christian, the kind Trump would deport in a heartbeat, who Support him.   P […]

    • If the USA (or any nation) has or had the power to act on behalf of the innocents for this egregious inhumane and horrific attack, then they are morally obligated to step up to the plate and start swinging. If a leader can use chemical weapons on his own citizens, what would he do to those people he believes are his enemies? Assad is scary!

      • What shocks me, is that many of his blabbering supporters are upset about it. To me, well… I expected it. I don’t know why, but it was like, when I heard the news it was like hearing ‘due to the flooding, a state of emergency was called’.

        I would have assumed anyone who supported/voted for Trump would expect a reaction, would assume there will be something like this in North Korea.

    • I pity the people of Syria especially the children!

      • Civil wars are always the worst. And neither side will stop and even if it stops, the resentment will last for generations.

    • They better see a doctor to be prescribed with the right anti-biotic. Maybe the cat was hurt that was why she fought back. My nephew kid was bitten by our neighboring cat and he was brought to the doctor.There was no rabies, thankful . Doctor said that a cat is seldom having a rabies because they bite hard bones and rabies stock to the bones.

      • Sorry, I just replied now; after a week of some self-imposed hiatus. It is good to know cats are not always infected with rabies. Thanks for this information.

    • Good thing, the mother had her son injected with anti-rabies. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

      And it is also nice to know that your cat, Kamuning wasn’t the one who scratched the son of your neighbor.

      Poor little kitten! They will die if not given the proper care. Stray kittens can indeed multiply rapidly.

      Most people don’t like cats though. That’s because their litter are so foul smelling and would litter anywhere.

      • Yes, I am so thankful it’s not Kamuning who bit him. I don’t like kittens because of the smell of its waste! (Sorry I just replied now. I was on self-imposed “break” from here).

    • I dislike such people. I cannot stand them really, they can really annoy you. I have encountered such people who will always want to say things that will provoke you to say something. The best way to deal with such people is silence or ignoring them. I guess what you did was the best way to deal with that lady. Though I must say you regard her with so much contempt as much as she got you mad how can you say that she wasn’t so pleasing. Anyway you alone know how she looked and how she reacted.

    • This is happening with every country and everywhere nowadays. The media can give a twist and make relentless efforts to make you believe what they want. This practically did not occur during the recent U.S Presidential elections as most of the U.S citizen were in favor of Mr. Trump than Mrs. Clinton. The media tried heavily to criticize, demoralize, and unpopular Mr. Trump. But, it could not get success and finally, the people got what they want and Mr. Trump could swear in as the President of U.S.

      • The majority of people voted for Hilary clinton; it is the electoral college which gave Trump the mandate. He has a 34% approval rate today. I don’t know what you read, or where you get your information, but I would try to get other sources. Doing a short search on the Internet of Trump’s approval ratings today will turn up the figures from various sources.

    • Hmmm the media has become a force to recond with. They seems to become misinformed group of people who do not appreciate the truth and fact anymore as that do not sell as much as falsehood and lies. They have become laws unto themselves as they fed the general public with false information which will excite people and paint others bad or black as they say it. I don’t listern to the media any more in my country because they have all become progovernment press who sees nothing wrong with government policy. Let watch them carefully.

    • Maybe he just wrote the name of Mr. Big Shot, because he thinks you will not verify if indeed he is recommending the applicant.

      That is why, when we are applying, we should see to it that we put a reference who knows you well because you were once in his employment. Besides, see to it that you have a good track of work records so the recommender will also give good reviews.

      Never just write a big shot, when the big shot doesn’t even know that you have written his name for reference. It’s discourteous to do that.

      • No, John Chance knew we would contact those he put in as references… I am sure he believed Mr. Big Shot would recommend him. We should check first… before we name anyone.

    • If you are a grown up, you have your own mind to make good decisions but most of us would rather go with what we are told. The thing is if the guy asked for a recommendation from the other guy, it’s obvious that he asked him if he would use him as his recommenderecommender, why then would someone write you such a bad recommendation letter? If you knew that the person was not qualified you should have told them from the beginning. But tarnishing the name of the candidate is not a good thing. That’s why it’s always good to ask questions before you get favors from people or even close friends .

    • There are times when we come across people who will be an influence of negative behavior and if we are not careful, we will probably be misled. You are responsible for your own actions, so when you involve yourself around negativity, then most likely,you will become negative. It important for us to determine that you should not blame others for your actions.

      Being misled is tricky. In some sense, you can be misled by being lied to. That is one reason why a person can be misled. It is wrong for someone to lie for personal gain. If you are a strong willed person with any kind of intelligence, you will not allow anyone or anything to become a negative influence. You should always push for positive influences. A person can also mislead themselves, another person does not have to be the one to mislead you.

    • Wow, reading on, I realized that you are a very gifted person for having those qualities or super powers as you call it.

      Indeed listening can be a power by itself. Even knowing when to be silent is a power also.

      Observing too is a super power. These 3 are what I should learn to have. I am not observant, maybe because I always hurry. I don’t even sometimes observe how a person is before I speak my mind. Now I know, I should be.

      Listening, I sometimes just blurt out without letting the other person finish what he is talking about , so much so that argument will ensue. This is true with my hubby and me.

      Thank you for making me realize I can have those super powers too. 🙂

    • One can write three hundred words but still it is concise. Short and sweet!

      • The interesting thing is that where a few years ago writing 1000 words was no problem, today, one becomes so concise that a topic is covered in 280 words, requiring one to go back and add.

      • Yes, one can write a 300 word article yet it already has taken all the important aspects.

        It is challenging to write more than 500 words. You must have the experience for your topic and very familiar with what you are writing for you to write that long.

        • In the old days people were in the verbose habit. They went around and around before making the point. Today it is very boring to read that kind of stuff.

    • I like to write but with no pressure.

      Here at LB, we can choose to have pressure, by writing a long post like 500 words or 1000 word or just simply commenting on blogs.

      Though the way I calculate it, if one gets to comment accordingly to at least a 100 blogs or group topics or the comments to your posts, you can already earn $1 . Not much pressure because you enjoy interacting.

      The catch is for you to enjoy doing it so you will not feel pressured.

      • That is why I like sites like Literacybase and myLot because there are no pressures. I just wanted to have an outlet for my writing passion. I do it, I usually interact on other people’s blogs here if I could not think of a topic to write.

    • I like writing very much, and I have my own blogs where I put my thoughts time from time and even earn little money. At Literacy base I do not feel any pressure, how long will be my post depends on idea.

      • It is nice to know you have your own blogs. I also created one last year, but it is hanging in the net (air), I did not monetize it and I had been inactive posting in it.

        In Literacybase, we have no pressures, it depends on what amount of time we will allot here; the reason why I like this site.
