descarado: I think we all did this when growing up. Anytime we do bad thing and start looking for soft landing, we wil attack house work Both ones we should do and those we shouldn't.
So somebody in my house descended on my ceramic wok as soft landing and used iron sponge to wash the hell out of it. I came back and couldn't recognise my precious wok again
Got lodge caste iron wok. Has been eyeing this wok since but opportunity never come to buy am. This one is seasoned already. Caste iron is called ite òna in my language. So it's nothing new. Only different design and it's very heavy.
I have plans to get this wok and le crueset but still haven't. Waiting to discard some things first. Thanks for reminding me. I hope to buy a real native pot/ite. I do have nwa ite from my ezigbo nne.
raumdeuter: By the time you move minimum wage to $15 per hour, People in Alabama will be balling and some will even start marrying 2nd wife sef because of too much money
The moment dem increase minimum wage to $15, I dey gather your dowry be that
Also businesses in Alabama are not as strong as in California and will force small businesses to shut down because of payroll cost
I think if living in a particular place is too high, one should move to another state. There should be work - life balance. People I know don't have 2 jobs. But if ever COL becomes too high - then time to move to a cheaper place. I have a list of those places in my pockets and will gladly live there and enjoy southern comfort Alabama Mississippi GA Etc
One cannot come and kill oneself.
PDPGuy: I get you. In CA these days, most people need to work two full time jobs just to afford a one-bedroom apartment
Your moniker reminds me of a meeting with a top brass "Hawa, are you 1st generation American?" I was like.... then smiled and said something . We both laughed, chatted more and drank our (palmy) beer
1stGenAmerican: Hundreds of thousands of them join the military, literally. According to the Pentagon, 46% of the enlisted 1.3 million men and women in America’s military are BLACK.
benalvino3: My cousin won a lottery 2013, he got there with a wife and 2kids. This guy worked his asxx off while his wife stayed home with the kids. Sometimes he has 3jobs. Guess what, he bought a house as of 2017. If it was only one parent, it could have been a lot more complicated .
I would like you to enlighten me with the bold.
I think coming here as a foreigner or immigrants is different - immigrants came with a different mindset, drives and goals. I wouldn't go into comparison or use immigrants to compare AA. The only thing I will say is if you don't have money to go to school ( America college is expensive), join the military.
No enlightening necessary. The problem is not what anyone can enlighten you about- Live in America to understand better.
benalvino3: Ye, you know what I mean. If more parents could be like these Nigerians, I mean more African Americans, a lot of their issues will be solved. But it can't be solved if they are constantly being deceived that a boogieman is trying to hold them back. That statement is true and false at the same time. The boogieman is the left in this case.
Some kids can still strive with a single mother if she has time for the kid. Ben Carson is one of them.
You really have to live here to understand the things that work against black Americans.
It is hard to have time for the kids when you don't have 9-5pm job or work 2/3 shifts to be able to pay rent or mortgage, bills, food, extra curricula activities for the kids etc
You both worked - you make twice her pay - not joint account. She still contributed towards you guys building the home to make it financially stable for you, herself and the children. Her contributions made it possible for you to be on the higher hand financially.
What you did is not right. Sit with her and apologize. Then come up with how you can both do it with each contributing idea better way to give. If you have siblings, get them involved in sending money to your parents too.
Your brother is in the UK - Make sure to split it by month. Don't let your siblings make you alone carry the responsibilities of caring for your parents! Dig into each parents needs eg medications, food, care etc first make sure you done pay bills and have enough for you, herself and children then split and give.
Enugurangers: I think pharmacists are allowed to reject dispensing of some medication that are against their religious or personal belief. They do however have to refer the customer to another Pharmacy that it can be purchased from. I am sure I have read that on some past pages on this thread.
I don't really know where they are going with all the strictness. Maybe best to tell people to stop having sex.
20 attorneys general warn Walgreens, CVS over abortion pills.
Ummm - I think the availability of this pill would help high schooler and college students from being pregnant and carrying on with their education.
I was shopping once at the health section of a store. I saw this handsome young guy buying plan B I wondered what I would have done if I was a strict conservative " young man, put that down, let her carry the baby" and quoted the Bible for him
