    bestwriter wrote a new post, Saying ‘I love you’ Fortifies a Relationship 8 years ago

    I came across a blog here which talked about how this couple court even after 44 years of their marriage. This link will take you there:

    I could add something more to what is already expressed there.

    Love is […]

    • Love can be anything. I love a plant. I regularly nourish it. I daily give it water and manure it with appropriate quantity. When it gives flowers i use them. Even when it stops giving flower I love it. I do not want to forgo it at any time to anybody. The body is stronger than any other thing. I take every precaution so that nobody goes near it and play with it removing the leaves, cutting the branches etc. I do not tolerate it if anybody does it and even do not tolerate such thing even in my dream. I take every care that is needed. I want to possess it for myself. This is a kind of selfishness. Love needs selfishness. The plant also loves me But it can not express it as it can not talk.

      But in the case of a love between human beings they can express it. Here also the element of selfishness exists. But time and distance may sometimes separate them. Even then there exists love.

      One should always remember that love does not mean living under one roof. It can exist and survive even without roof.

      • Loving someone and possessing someone are two different. We tend to possess and not love.

    • Yes, love has power to strengthen relationship of every kind as matrimonial relationship, love relationship. business relationship, teacher-student relationship…but love must be sincere not fake love because love is the child human holy soul.

      But each kind of love has its own distinctive feel. The kind of love we feel for a parent is different from our love for a baby brother or best friend. And the kind of love we feel in romantic relationships is its own unique type of love.

      Our ability to feel romantic love develops during adolescence. Teens all over the world notice passionate feelings of attraction. Even in cultures where people are not allowed to act on or express these feelings, they’re still there. It’s a natural part of growing up to develop romantic feelings and sexual attractions to others. These new feelings can be exciting — or even confusing at first.

      Love is the best thing on earth and it is gift of God for men and women on earth to spread among the loveless mass.

      • There is a tendency to mistake passion, romance, chemistry and infatuation for love.

    • Love is a mutual thing between two people. It has to be go eh and received in return. No one wants to give out love and get no love back in return. When you love someone the feeling has to be felt both ways. The only difference that we may experience with love is when we don’t know how to communicate it to our partners. Women usually communicate their love with feelings whereas men use the visual part of it. And sometimes when feelings are not communicated they spell out neglect to women, and women always want to hear stuff like I love you, I miss you and the like, but for men it’s quite different. for a man to communicate that he loves a woman he will buy her gifts and take her out those are the things that man will do and that will feel like they have fulfilled the wants of their women. But that’s not it something more has to be done and that’s what men just don’t get. All in all I think saying I love you is a good way to start in a relationship but as the relationship progresses on then one is expected to know how the partner may want to be recognized and treated in a special way.

      • Although it is said actions speak louder than words a conversation has power. And yes it should be both ways.

        • I do agree with your statement that actions speak louder than words but there are cases when we have to express our love for someone.

          Sometimes it becomes the need of the hour to express our love.

          Expressing our love in the form of some proper words enables us to handle difficult situation with great ease.

    Green Pea Fritter is one of our local Malaysian favorite snack dessert that you can buy at roadside stalls or night market.

    • It is best food for school going children because it a sweet and delicious dish. It is tasty in eaten as I have from my net friends but I have not eaten it still.

      As I think that his is a wonderful meal you can whip up in around 10 minutes. What I love about these delicious green pea fritters is that you can also take any leftovers to work the next day and enjoy them cold or warm with a side salad of leafy greens, a squeeze of lemon and cold pressed olive oil.

      I think these may be its benefits health wise as Green peas are loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. They are a great source of Vitamin A, K + folate, fibre and packed with protein as well as iron for energy metabolism.

      Ricotta is a good source of protein, which encourages muscle growth and repair. Protein also stimulates the production of growth hormone that is responsible for bone and muscle strength that decreases as we age. Studies show that overweight people have lower-than-normal levels of growth hormone in their body, which may make it harder for them to lose weight as growth hormone can promote fat burning in the body.

      HGH can be increased naturally by a quality protein- and vegetable-rich diet, getting quality sleep and enjoying regular exercise.

    • Green peas are highly rich in protein content. They should be taken in small quantities as it will be quite difficult to digest. A healthy person can digest easily 10 gms of Green peas.
      If it is included in your regular diet in small quantities one need not consult any doctor for deficiency problems relating to proteins.
      The recipe you have described here is similar to THE MASALA STUFFED INTO SAMOSA. The main difference arises while making mashing the Green peas. Here we grind it and make it a rough paste. We add Chilli powder in place of sugar. Rice flour is added in a small quantity.
      Instead of preparing fritters with the stuff we dough it adding some Potatoes (boiled and mashed), some boiled and nicely cut vegetables like carrot, beans, cauliflower, etc. We keep this mix aside.
      We prepare the dough of Pancake. Make small balls of it. Each ball will be pressed against the floor into a square shape. We place the Green peas stuff at the center of the square-shaped dough.It will be folded into a triangle shape. This is a technique. We fry it in a hot sunflower oil taken in a Pan having a deep base. When it turns into brown in color it will be taken away into a separate container. They will be quite crispy and crunchy also. We can take them as morning / evening snack along with a cup of hot tea.

    There are many types of palms and adding them in a garden gives it a classy look. I have the Royal Palm, Bottle Palm and Ficus Palm. Palms need very little maintenance and most of these palms give out succulents – […]

    • Yes, palm trees are most beautiful tress on earth but without shade for the tired travelers. There are many trees that have no shade as palm,date tree…..but why they have no shade God knows who have created them on earth. But I think a my mystery lies in it human beings unknown to it.

      The long popular ficus trees belong to the fig genus. Although only a few are seen in cultivation, there are hundreds of species of ficus. They are native throughout the tropics, including Asia, America and Africa.

      It is a house tree that looks good growing in the home garden. Décor is one of the main reasons many people grow plants within a home, and it’s easy to see why. The look and feel of a living room, bedroom or even hallway can be transformed with indoor plants.

      I think that Palm plants and shrubs bring empty spaces and large rooms, alive. Many can tolerate fairly low light conditions which allows them to be placed near doors, stairs, in hallways, and next to fire surrounds.

      One of the huge advantages of growing plants indoors is the improvement of air quality and the removal of toxins from the environment. Most of you will be aware from school teachings that plants convert carbon dioxide into the air we breath (oxygen), so it makes sense to allow some space in the home for them to promote good health .

      Nasa (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) created a clean air study for space stations and produced a list of house plants that do more than just turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. The list Nasa produced of various house plants remove large quantities of benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from the atmosphere.

    • Suicide is never the only recourse left. Sadly, however, some people think that it is. When they commit suicide it’s far too late for them to say “Uumm … I changed my mind!” My prayer is that we can get to those who are contemplating such a drastic measure before they do the deed and hopefully save their life. Life is precious. It’s not something you should throw away.

      • Not being able to face what would be in store perhaps drives some towards suicide. One needs strength to overcome those fears.

    • Those who commit suicide are cowards and cannot face the darkest realities life but I think that those who have no nice friend often seen commits suicide due to severe disappointment. It is very serious matter for the parents and the government to do something for such persons and try to research its root causes roaming in the society.

      Many teens who attempt or die by suicide have a mental health condition. As a result, they have trouble coping with the stress of being a teen, such as dealing with rejection, failure, breakups and family turmoil. They might also be unable to see that they can turn their lives around — and that suicide is a permanent response, not a solution, to a temporary problem.

      I think these may be the the main causes of committing suicide as

      What are the risk factors for teen suicide?

      A teen might feel suicidal due to certain life circumstances such as:

      Having a psychiatric disorder, including depression
      Loss of or conflict with close friends or family members
      History of physical or sexual abuse or exposure to violence
      Problems with alcohol or drugs
      Physical or medical issues, for example, becoming pregnant or having a sexually transmitted infection
      Being the victim of bullying
      Being uncertain of sexual orientation
      Exposure to the suicide of a family member or friend

      Family history of mood disorder or suicidal behavior

    One might say this quote ‘ A stitch in time saves nine’ does not hold water any more as no one stitches torn clothes or darns them any more. But it could be applied to several other areas pertaining to our day to […]

    • Yes, you say right, a stitch in time saves nine is applied in other ways these days . I think it is a proverb and is not used to darn and and stitches in clothes but it actually means if you do any work in time will save you time for other pieces of work at home and out of home.

      For if you do school work in time you will get the first position in the class because you did home work in time from the very beginning and stood first.

      The same formula is applied in all walk of life but our politicians do not stitch in time the torn clothes of country as poverty and corruption.

      I think the countries that acted upon this formula are called progressive and developed countries all over the world. while under developed countries did not stitch in time in the torn country economics clothes and backward on earth.

      Our forefathers save said all things right but modern men have forgot all their forefathers’ sayings. Some consider it old wives’ tales.

      • Yes.It is a proverb but derived from the fact that if a tear is not darned on time the tear will widen.
        We tend to procrastinate when we find any job boring but it leads to disastrous consequences.

    • It is very difficult to apply this saying. I do face the same situation. I do bookmark every site and make a long list of book marks. I do not know how to get rid of this bad habit. Hope you share something more in this connection so that it may help me sorting up my book marks.

      • I too have a long list of bookmarks. You can do one thing. Open that tab and see if any of the bookmarks have not been used at all by you, which means your enthusiasm on that particular subject has died downand you may not feel the need for it at all. You can delete such bookmarks.

    • A word stinche time save Nine have to do with a word procasination many people do procasinate when he or she surpose to apply action, for my own understanding were in the moving vehicle and you find out that the vehicle has developed falt and instead of you to stop and find out what the falt is all about and you keep on moving until the vehicle broke down, if you stop and find out what the error that vehicle you have save nine, but if you continue moving until it broke down on the way that stinch time, that is way i understand it.

    Having a child that is reluctant to try new foods is a big headache for parents and caregivers.

     

    My 9 year old son is a picky eater.

     

    He is a problematic child who picks food that he likes to eat ( […]

    • It may be very hard indeed to introduce new foods to children, and I cannot agree more that we must not bribe nor threaten them. it is our job to be creative as parents and to find interesting ways that might work in getting our children to have a healthy diet. I have a two year old daughter and a six year old niece and they are very picky eaters. My niece for instance doesn’t like meat, however she likes patty, so what I do is to make bite-size patties which she loves very much. My daughter doesn’t like milk, so what I do is to milk popsicles which she loves;see, mission accomplished. There are also other creative ways in which i get them to eat foods that they don’t like.

    • The only “trick” I remember my mother trying on us was to let us starve until we got hungry enough to eat the food she prepared. What was on the table, that was it. She said if we didn’t like it, there was bread and butter and we could have a glass of water with it and then go to our room. Yeah. That was the “old school” parenting style. I come from a large family and I don’t remember that many of us being picky eaters. Looking back on it, I don’t know if the alternative meal of bread and butter and water, was the reason why we weren’t picky eaters. (O.o) 🙂

    • Food is part and parcel of human life we are eating vegetables fruits since our birth the same apple, the grains , the same meat, the banana, the same orange…

      But the children like different foods and vegetables in eating with different style so that they change their eating pattern and its most important for health and human spirit.

      Your child should consume a variety of foods from the five major food. Each food group supplies im­portant nutrients, including vitamins and minerals.

      Vegetables: 3-5 servings per day. A serving may consist of 1 cup of raw leafy vegetables, 3/4 cup of vegetable juice, or 1/2 cup of other vegetables, chopped raw or cooked.
      Fruits: 2-4 servings per day. A serving may consist of 1/2 cup of sliced fruit, 3/4 cup of fruit juice, or a medium-size whole fruit, like an apple, banana, or pear.
      Bread, cereal, or pasta: 6-11 servings per day. Each serving should equal 1 slice of bread, 1/2 cup of rice or pasta, or 1 ounce of cereal.
      Protein foods: 2-3 servings of 2-3 ounces of cooked lean meat, poultry, or fish per day.

      A serving in this group may also consist of 1/2 cup of cooked dry beans, one egg, or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter for each ounce of lean meat.

      Dairy products: 2-3 servings per day of 1 cup of low-fat milk or yogurt, or 1 1/2 ounces of natural cheese.

      I think that Although food habits are not stable and unchanging during a person’s lifetime, a base for healthy food habits can be created in early childhood. Children’s food habits can be assumed to be influenced by their parents’ food habits and choices.

      The aim of this article is to review factors influencing food choice in children as well as in adults. The results demonstrate that the development of children’s food habits is influenced by a multitude of factors. Parents play an important role in the formation of food habits and preferences of young children.

      They can influence their children’s food choice by making specific foods available, by acting as models for their children and by their behaviour in specific situations. Children tend to be afraid of new foods and do not readily accept them. However, experience is known to enhance preference, and earlier experiences of a particular food are the major determinants of the development of children’s food acceptance patterns.

      Thus, parents should be encouraged to make healthy foods easily available to the child and serve these foods in positive mealtime situations in order to help their child to develop healthy food habits.

    A friend in need is a friend in deed.

     

    This phrase applies to “REAL” friends who are willing to help you when you are in need of cash, advice, a shoulder to cry on and to be there anytime, anywhere with […]

    • 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.
