Most Commented HowTo Blogs (280)

I started smoking at the age of 20, when I met my ex, who was a regular smoker, as I could not handle him smoking and I thought I was in love, so could not live without him either or the smoking.

I have found in the last number of years, since they started banning smoking in buildings and restaurants, that the people that kept on smoking, had a certain IQ level.

I'm a born analyst and am always looking for patterns.

So here was another pattern. Do u know what?

Dr. Map is available to answer all your questions, from problem Bears in your garden, to tuning a Webber twin Carb, relationships and general woes and agony questions, from Sex to medical and your mutton curry issues.

They say revenge is a dish best eaten cold.

I don't mind if it is hot or cold, but I want it. The person bringing my car from Scotland with me paying ferry, tolls and flight back, has done a dirty on me, picked a quarrel, taken the huff and taken my car to Malaga, 80 km away, so I have to get it from there.

It will be a massive pain in the butt but that's not what the blog is about. I'm ANGRY. It has cost me hundreds of pounds, he's had the use of the car for a holiday with his best girl, and he's cheated at the last on the deal.

I fought myself for quite a while not to report it stolen. I'm not, after all, that nasty - but I do want satisfaction. It was a cheap trick to play, a completely selfish thing to do, and I don't care if my retaliation is silly, or childish, or a little bit evil so long as this anger stops eating me up. Hell, make me laugh, cheer me up, but spike my imagination.

Suggestions?

When I am dead and gone: It will be an honor if you say a little prayer for me. Talk about me good or bad, (I hope not my shortcomings and mistakes) but anything good that I have done to humanity if any. With thousands of students that I taught in many Universities, I am sure, I am not all that bad. I am not perfect. I have done so many mistakes and I apologize for all of them.

So,


Please remember me and talk as much as you want about me. That is our ways, we catholic of honoring our dead. We have our cemetery, our altars where we put the memories, ashes and or reminiscence of our dead love ones, just to remember them. Say a little prayer because we believe that through prayers, we are saved from our sins and I beleive I have a lot of them.

So for anyone who shares the same belief, you will not deface me, if I die, pass on and say a little bit about me, good or bad. That will be my way of knowing that you care, at least to think of me and remember me.

Thanks all for your reads and or comment if any.

Note: Life is unpredictable, I can die tomorrow, or now, if and when that happens. I instructed my children to at least log on for me and let you all know that I passed on.

For the atheist who don't share the same belief, it is okay. It will be a pleasure for me if you will talk about me even resurrecting some of my writes and talk about it.

NOTE: all the famous athors of this civilized world, most of them all dead, we still talk about them, discuss all their ideas, does that mean we deface them? Heck no.

So please feel free to share me your opinion.

Thank you all.

I am sorry if bringing back the writes of those who passed on is taken as a defamation or defacing them. I beg to disagree. Or we would be defacing Dante, Shakespear, Keats, Byron, etc. etc.

When we finally get to meet the women of our dreams we are often disappointed because the object in our dreams is not quite as she described herself in her profile. Now don’t get me wrong; I not saying that women are liars, they just speak a different language than men and we often interpret their jargon incorrectly. Please note that I’m not blaming the women for this, the problem is with us.

Ok ladies, this is where you get off the bus; this is for men only. If you read on, it will be at your own risk because this may get vulgar. Don’t complain about it later.

And now that the ladies have left us, I’ll try to give you guys a few guidelines on how to read female profiles. I cannot go through all of it but here are a few good examples of the phrases/words they use in their profiles to describe themselves and what they really mean. If the time permits we can look at what they expect in a partner at afterwards.

When they say – It actually translates to
Accommodating – I take in boarders
Athletic Body – I can lick you any day, so watch your step
Caring – I’m looking after my sickly mother who lives in
Decent – I only curse when it slips out.
Elegant – I usually overdress and overdo make-up
Enjoy good food – I expect to be treated on expensive meals
Flexible – I don’t really know what I want
Friendly – I’m a flirt
Good Humored – I like to hear new dirty jokes
Good Looking – I can see well without specs
Healthy Body – I’m HIV positive but on ARVs
Honest – I only lie when I have to
Like Traveling – I commute to work every day
Literate – I passed Grade 4
Love Animals – I hate men
Modest – I m not a good conversationalist
No Mental Issues – I just blame it all to PMS
Religious – You won’t have sex with me until you promise to marry me
Sensitive – I have a short temper
Serious – I cannot take a joke
Sociable – I play the field
Sophisticated – I drink cheap wine out of fancy glasses
Understanding – I speak several languages
Well Informed – I gossip all the time
Well Read – I have a lot of comic books
Witty – I know a lot of dirty jokes

Sorry guys, we’ll have to cut this short. I think our private meeting had been infiltrated because I can smell Malaysian cupcakes and Irish home baked scones.

Memorize these phrases and their true meanings and you will understand their profiles so much better. I hope it helps.


And as always, you don’t have to pay me for this most valuable advice. I render it as a free service in order to promote a better understanding between the genders.

U all know that I am in computers. Well a lot of change is happening in that field by the second.

We can expect AI, and everything that u said was impossible, when seen in Sci-Fi movies.

The idea is:-

Just about nothing is impossible. If someone dreams up something, someone will figure out how to practically invent it. What bothers me in situations like that, is the original person that dreamed up the idea, gets no recognition for it.

Now, is that true? I think I must have been laying them wrong. Or perhaps I didn’t get the best quality in the first place. I do find after a few years they look a bit worn.

But is 30 years the aim, anyway? What if you want a change after, say, 10 years? Then half that hard work initially was for nothing.

I need more advice, I think. Anyone?

Just got back from an incredible 3 week trip around Ireland. I finished chatting with an old friend on the phone and decided to get back to my exercise routine. 45 min workout left me exhausted but I still had some housework to do. I collected the kids clothes and was bending over loading the washing machine when it happened. I felt my stomach and my thighs flex and contract, quiver and then oooohhhhhh .. it happened!
It had never happened to me like that before.
Why did it happen? and more importantly how can I make it happen again.

Handshakes fascinate me. I think mine is ok, but then I would. Some offer just the fingers, or the vrot (rotting) banana. Some seize a hand as if ringing in the new year.

I'm never sure whether to adjust my handshake to the other person. If I'm offered a glove filled with porridge, for instance, there's that second when I have to decide whether I still squeeze. (And will their eyes pop if I do ). If they're mangling, do we turn it into a version of the arm-wrestle until one of us is forced to his or her knees ...

And did you ever shake hands with either of your parents and realize to your surprise they favour a different style? THAT was weird

I looked on Google and there are dozens of variations, who knew. There's the handshake that asserts, the one that shows total lack of interest, the con-artist (over-long and seeking to dominate) and the passive personality. A hand offered palm up seeks domination, a hand offered palm down seeks to dominate.

Two things I never thought about - the 'senior' person must always offer their hand first - don't force a handshake on a potential employer (I don't think I ever have ) and one social guideline insisted the handshake is maintained - and pumping - all the time you are exchanging names. I know I tend to be a quick-drop, not a lingerer. (Unless I suddenly realize I have to go through the entire complicated 'dancing' handshake of Africa.)

Obviously we all think our own handshake is right, wondered though what you assume about the person offering a 'different' shake (Apart of course from the palm tickle )

Now I live in kissy-kissy land and have learned not to stick my hand out or I find myself poking someone in their stomach as they swoop in for the airkiss on either cheek. That's an issue in itself. Kiss air, touch skin, plant a smacker ...

We've all grown up in our different ways, where we tend to mimic our parents and friends.

My parents never swore. They were staunch Christians and swearing was very wrong, and that is the way I grew up. Only later in my life did I no longer want to be called a Christian, as there r too many using the Christian beliefs to further themselves, and it was totally against all my principles.

During my life, I have had friends that swore, but I never picked it up from them, as I still had my strong backbone, that no-one could bend.

My ex, a British citizen, swore like a sailor, for anything and everything. That it was against my principles, he could not care less about, and would most of the time do it just to rile me further. The marriage was 7 years of hell.

Now I can understand why some people would swear, to make them give an outlet to their feelings, being it whatever.

But, don't expect it of me !
