Feel free to add your own bits as I intend to update this blog on a regular basis.


"In certain circumstances, a hedgehog may froth at the mouth, twist its head backwards over its shoulder and throw a vile-smelling foamy saliva onto its back. This behaviour is known as self-anointing."

We are the top of the food chain and the top preditor ...

We have canine teeth for ripping flesh and although some eat roots ,shoots , and leaves... we are meat eaters...

And yes animals were hurt in the making of this blog !!!

I was raised with the Ten Commandments. I honor and love it.

I was also raised to believe that doing good is socially and Godly beneficial for all.

On top of that the Golden Rule is very good for all whether you believe in God or not.

And life is beautiful.

Thanks all for your reads and comments if any.

Ok, so you bought a cat in a bag, but the cat is out of the bag now. A cat has nine lives, but there are many ways to skin a cat. Shooting cats is not the answer, but in the end curiosity killed the cat!

Cats wherever you look! I wonder if dogs get anywhere near this. Here are a few cattish expressions and their meanings:

9. He is a scaredy-cat – He’s scared.
10. All cats are grey in the dark – Things look the same in the dark.
11. To be like a cat on a hot tin roof – To be very agitated.
12. To be the cat's whiskers – To think you are better than others.
13. A cat can look at a king – Important people are not untouchable.
14. Has the cat got your tongue? – Don’t just stand there. Talk!
15. A cat in gloves catches no mice – To be nice is not always enough.
16. He is conceited as a barber's cat – Very full of himself.
17. I smell a dead cat on the line – Something is wrong.
18. They fight like cat and dog – They fight all the time.
19. He is a fraidy cat – He is scared.
20. You don’t have a cat’s chance in hell– You have no chance.
21. It's raining cats and dogs! – It is raining hard.
22. You look like the cat that got the cream – You look happy.
23. You look like something the cat brought in – you look bad.
24. You look like the cat that swallowed the canary – You look guilty.
25. To be mad enough to kick a cat – To be very cross.

A cattish expression? Oh, that is a scornful look on your face!

Stay loose until tomorrow!

to manipulate others.

We could be a victim in so many ways. Some were neglected by parents, betrayed by partners, let down by lovers, picked on at school or by friends, ripped off on a business deal, etc, etc.

Healthy people usually learn from those experiences, forgive and move on. Others re-victimize themselves to give themselves some comfort


Control freaks love to play the victim, they try to control the person who hurt them as they owe them something and try to drain sympathy from people around them.

The person who play the victim is often times the real villain by portraying others as the demons and oppressors

Most of us have played the victims and not even aware about it. Whining and complaining about our children, jobs, partners, people around us, things we need to do etc…and having negative outlook in life. We can do something about these situations but we chose to stay and be a victim. People I know are doing this… I’m doing this too.

Real victims are those completely powerless and can’t do anything about it. They deserve sympathy…I’m not one of them.

Those who love to play the victim we should be wary of. They are manipulative and will do anything to be in control. It‘s tricky to recognize them … can leave you dumbfounded or worse.

Are you a "victim" too?

Yes, Merlot has disabled the comments, so here I am giving him a real answer to the question.
You just wait and watch they get screwed up by their own people.
It is as simple as that. This is what some people from the West stand up for, a bunch of thieves and corrupt arseholes. Don't say we didn't warn you from the very start, people.
If not ready to accept the reality nobody can help you!






And one more answer, regarding a country attracting back its own people.
We have the same scheme here, We want our people back and working for our country.
No mysteries or bullshite theories to be chewed up by the CS experts.
I will not engage in endless discussions of facts that are more that clear and real already.
Thank you!

To the non-native English speaker, learning English can be a nightmare. Especially when you don’t have a good tutor on standby. Not that my own language is unblemished. We have exceptions to every rule and even rules to those exceptions with their own exceptions.

But what boggles my mind the most about English is how to pronounce the words. Why is it that the ough in similar looking words like cough, plough, through, tough, and though are pronounced different in each case. How am I to know how to pronounce it without the help of a native English-speaking person, bearing in mind that half our English teachers, esp in primary school, could not speak proper English.

As if that is not enough they also invented an animal called phrasal verbs. Things like throw up, throw down, throw in, and throw out. My first reaction will be to believe that throw up and throw down must be opposite actions but vomit and drop are not even related actions.

Next, we have make up, make over, and make out. Make up is such an interesting verb with at least 11 different meanings ranging from resolving an argument to fabricating a BS story.

If make up describes the action of applying facial cosmetics then surely the process of removing it, must be make down and, by the same logic, if shut up is an instruction to keep quiet then shut down must be permission to talk again. Right?

Then I did not even mention talk over, talk into, talk down, talk up, and talk out. Oh, and then we still have take on, take off, take in, take out, take over, take up, and take down. If an airplane takes off from one location, does it take on at the destination? I think not.

The strangeness of it all is that most these phrasal verbs have perfectly acceptable equivalents. Why can’t we rather use them? It is so much less confusing. Oops, was that an oxymoron?

I think I should stop it right here because one thing will only lead to the next and we will be here all day. But all this makes me wonder exactly who invented English and what they were smoking at the time.


You have a good day too.

CS really is like a school - all the way from kindergarten to graduation. Okay, an odd one. We have no idea how long we will be here, that first day - a month? Ten years? It takes a while to realize there are no teachers, then even longer to realize we are all teachers.

Some do individual tutoring and some prefer to lecture. Some talk bollocks, some talk sense. All of us are teachers and all of us are pupils.

Of course that could be, well, bollocks. JMO.
