Money is the icing, not the cake
'Inspirational messages to refresh the spirit and boost the emotional bank account'

Money is the icing, not the cake
Despite the advice of preachers and philosophers warning us of the shortcomings of money, it's hard to argue with Gertrude Stein's observation - I've been rich and I've been poor. Rich is better.'
Although money is better at reducing suffering caused by poverty and relieving anxiety caused by debt than it is at making us happy, it can buy lots of things that make us feel good and important.
But wealth is not a certain road to happiness. A poor person with good relationships is much more likely to be happy than a rich person with lousy ones. And people who earn moderate wages, but love their work, are much more likely to be happy than those who earn a lot but hate what they do.
It's easy to expect too much from money. Rich people have different problems than the non-rich, but they do have problems. Many are related to wealth, including shallow relationships, spoiled children and continuous pressure from relatives and friends who expect a handout. Rich people, as a whole, are not more content or emotionally satisfied than others, and neither are their kids.
The problem is that people preoccupied with money are never satisfied. Often, their desires and debts grow faster than their means. The more they have, the more they think they need.
There's nothing inherently wrong with material wealth or its pursuit, but there is a danger of paying too much to get it. As Rousseau said, 'The money you have gives you freedom, but the money you pursue enslaves you.'
We shouldn't disdain money, but we should put its value in perspective.
The moral - Focus first on forming deep and enduring relationships and finding work that makes you fulfilled. At best, money is the icing, not the cake.

@ olaronkecristian
plz try n wear tight brassiere day n night for like 7days. this was what my doc told me and it worked for me.

A humble lesson to take home please have a read :- A son took his old mother to a restaurant for an evening dinner. Mother being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on her skirt. Other dinners watched her in disgust while her son was calm. After she finished eating, her son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took her to the wash room, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed her hair and fitted her spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that. The son settled the bill and started walking out with his mother. At that time, an old man amongst the dinners called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you think you have left something behind?”. The son replied, “No sir, I haven’t”. The old man retorted, “Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every child and hope for every mother”. The restaurant went silent. A wish of every mum. My mum had to bear the shame of me embarrassing her when i was little, i see no reason why i cant do the same for her. God bless every mother out there. Our labour of love will never be in vain....... Aameen

Good afternoon my sabi mamaa. please i neeed kedi distributors co(Ilorin) contact. please its urgent. Thanks. Baby dust to all.

@ mummyesther. Cant d husband take care of d child. The

OR a daily maid. The husband will take care of d child on d morning and after leaving d house d maid can clean d house, prepare lunch n dinner then leave.
The truth here is dt she needs d rest, and d husband also need to make sacrifice as she has by staying off work for THREE months

have you tried lots and lots of fore_play especially hand_job/stroking before the real thing? what about trying different positions such as you being on top or doggy style? i dont want to be too graphic but there are ways you can twerk on your dh that will make him release.

secondly, have you tried bd first thing in the morning.

you can also get your dh to take zinc tablets. they aid in sperm production.

Please doctors on the thread, I need ur urgent help. I'm five month old pregnant and I've been noticing serious challenges in my body lately. Infact, I've been admitted in hospital since yesterday due to the fact that one side of my head (my cheek, lips and eye) is not functioning well. One side of my lips is bending towards another side and one of my eyes is growing deep to the extent I cannot walk alone. After beeing treated yesterday, I noticed that my second eye was being affected too. What could have lead to this? I never had or experienced any deformity in my life. When I got to my doctor b4 admission, he read my BP as 100/60 and till now, my BP is still between 100/60-110/70. Please, somebody in the house should help because I don't knw what is happening to me. Thanks in advance.

@ all sabi mamas , nurse kaffy plz help answer her question

miraclebaby:
@iOmoge @saheed2532 is a male. He just copied advert post and pasted. Pls be mindful of those pills. You're not just trying to look slim but trying to reduce weight as ttcer. @tatacherie I use garlic anytime I feel I may have infection. Normally itching and within two to three days, itching stops and my discharge becomes clear and normal. I don't think it has adverse effects as it's not so strong. but if you're in doubt, wait till cd 1, that's when I enjoy the effect more. makes your flow run like tap.

do u eat it raw or what?

@ Sayoberry So sorry for ur loss, May God almiighty console you.

Greetings to all d mamas in d house,both pushing and vigilante mums.May God b wit us all Amen.

Pls I need ur answers for this my question.
I posted some time last montth dat am 7weeks pregy but unfortunately I lost d pregy at 8weeks and was evacuated.
My question is,when will I start meeting with my husband again after d evacaution.
When will I begin to try 4 anoda one.

Please I really need some answers.

Happy new month to all and remain blessed.
None of us shall cast our young again on this thread in Jesus name I pray Amen.

it depends on ur body n when u plan to. generally after a mc women are more fertile. u can start immediately, after some time if u want to rest but all in all God's time no dey give notice. However ur ttc should nt prevent you from meeting ur hubby. Abeg give him what he wants oooo
