    Jasmine started the topic Diabetes in the forum Group logo of SURVIVORSURVIVOR 8 years, 1 month ago

    I am a survivor of being in coma for 3 months due to diabetes type 1. I was diagnosed at the age of 3 and no one knew anything about anything that was going on. I got really chunky, and one day I just fainted with my glucose number soaring high. The beautiful thing about it is that I survived. It was like a movie scene, I woke up on Christmas day…[Read more]

    A Colorful Table

    The table hajs been neatly arranged with all the delicacies that your best chef only knows how. There is Meat of all colors, red meat,white meat and others. The table is laid with all the […]

    • I do my best to eat healthy. I have been blessed to make it to 60 years of age and have not experienced any severe health problems that were the result of a bad diet. I eat meat, fruits, veggies, sweets, etc. My weakness is cheesecake. 🙂

      • Congratulations for being sweet sixty. We have to thank God for that. Thank you for your comment too. Be blessed. Stbrians is on mylot and seems not to meet you.

        Eating right and exercise leadgs to health and long life. Our bodies need the right kinds of food in the right quantities. Avoid red meat if you are to keep healthy. Take more fruit. It is medicine.

        Majority of people think it is depriving to avoid certain foods. It is not. It is healthy.

    • I am a vegetarian so I don’t eat at most places. In fact, there is on one restaurant I do eat at, in all cases I would rather wait until I get home and cook something or just have a drink or a fruit.

    • Choose is only for wealthy people, poor people will never choose what food they eat. But because the question is going out for individual like me, my answer would be ‘it depends on the situation’.

      When I attend party and lots of foods in the table, I choose what to pick, I don’t pick fried fish and other kinds of fish. I choose meat and vegetable salads. Fruits, any kinds of fruits will do for me.

      But when crisis come and only one meal in the table during lunch or dinner at house, no way we can choose. Its okay, any foods served in the house is always the most delicious food we’ve ever taste.

    • nice article. Conveyed everything beautifully in a good way.

      I do agree that we are wanting eating habits.
      My way of eating is exactly the one you have described above. This is my habit from my childhood. I was eating in a selective manner. I was covering all most everything that gives Vitamins, proteins, oil, sugar, carbohydrates, minerals, in the adequate proportions. Even the elderly people were changing their way of eating when once they see me in any marriage functions and family get together functions.

      There are people as observed by me who collect every item in their plate select a chair laying in a corner and give good exercise to their mouth. This is what I hate.

      Generally, people hesitate to take their food in front of me for fear of my discipline. This is the saddest part of life.

    • Very nice educating write-up. It’s also a good idea to drink warm water every morning before taking any meal as it flushes all fats in the body. The similitude of this is that of the kitchen sink. If the kitchen sink is not flush with warm water regularly it is bound to block as oil will solidify in the its pipe.

    • That’s is some good writing right there. You be a laid out all the facts right. Okay for me i am a choosy eater of course I don’t eat everything but in my meals everyday i try to incooperate evrything. There is the protein, cabohydrates and vitamins. I think those are three most essential things you need to be a in your meals. Even doctors and experts have said it before eating meat is not bad, but say it in bits. It’s better to have white meat than red meat alright but you should not skip it altogether. Anyway all the other things that you have mentioned are very important in our daily eating. It’s true that we are what we eat. Our eating habits are definitely getting out of control and that has to be checked.

    Terrorists have adopted an international approach in their attacks; September 11, 2001, marked the beginning of indiscriminate terrorist’s attacks. Terrorists have shifted their mode of operations from the initial […]

    • Thanks for supplying your information references. With respect to adapting, adjusting or modifying their strategy or approach to dealing with terrorism, domestic and internationl, I think all of our law enforcement agencies, including but not limited to the FBI, who have national security as an integral component of their mission statement, have “a plan”. I am not privy to their information. It’s just a confident assumption based on an educated guess, having had my own experience working for a federal law enforcement agency.

    @stbrians MESHACK BWOYELE KEYA wrote a new post, The Problem Of The Opening Sentence 8 years, 2 months ago

    You have the topic for your post ready. All the subtopics you will use in the post are already on the Draft. The keywords you will use in your post have already been charted out.  Now you want to begin writing […]

    • The problems of a writer are how to begin and how to end.The best thing to do is write what pops up from the mind, and then develop the topic . Let us not forget the 3 parts of a composition intro, body and conclusion. As long as the beginning is ready, the next thing to do is just support the main topics.In our case as bloggers, we can immediately strike a beginning sentence according to the blog we want to write.

    • This is the area where every writer makes a sluggish movement. This is an important area to attract the readers to read your article. As you said rightly, the concluding part is a difficult exit. It should be decorated nicely to make others feel free smelling the flowers in the Garden. The Garden should be nicely arranged with good pictures, some thrilling quotes et., Everything should be arranged properly. Others, there is no purpose of keeping a beautiful garden without good entry and exit.

    • Thinking of a great opening sentence is such an important aspect of being a writer.

      With so much information being written and shared online and offline, we cannot afford to be boring or vague.

    • This is the usual and the common problem of every writer. In your case, you write the problem of the opening sentence which seems unattractive. Where? How do you qualify your title to attract readers? Then as you have said, reader’s attention would be pegged to read more if the introductory sentence in your post is interesting or catchy.

      Yours is a declarative statement of what your topic is about. Why not make it interesting? And how do you do it? You see. It is not easy but if you are used to writing you could easily make it and have everything flowing smoothly.

    • Is this for short story, ‘how to open sentence in writing short story’. Nice tip here. Actually, the first paragraph is one of the hardest work for many writers. They don’t know how to begin the story. I have read a book on how to start a short story. But this does not matter when you want to write. You don’t think how to start.

      My tip is here: think of a scene, any scene in your house, school, in the garden, eating, quarrel, and try to narrate that scene, this is how I start my story.

    • Rather than talking about the opening sentence I would rather worry about giving an appropriate title which normally attracts readers and viewers.
