RomanceWays Of Remaining Friends With Your Ex After Breaking Up by ethylene(op): 10:13am On Apr 22, 2015
There’s this common saying among the male folk that ” a man that hasn’t experienced a break up is a toddler” which may be applicable to all and sundry given the fact that heartbreaks help in one way or the other to shape the person we become. Often times, we tend to meet someone who we become friends with. This friendship may later translate to deep feelings from one or the both of you leading to a relationship. The relationship might go on to become serious enough leading to you spending a lifetime together or it may fail to work out leading to heartbreak of one or both parties.
Several questions come up when the relationship fails to work such as if you should keep trying or if you have to cut loose that person from your life forever. Well answers to those questions are determined by us and certain factors such as if the initial relationship was based on mutual respect and trust. The steps below highlight how you can comfortably get back to the “friend zone” with your ex after break up.

Minimize contact
The most hurting and critical time is immediately after break up which makes it necessary for you to minimise contact immediately after break up as much as possible with your ex. Minimising contact doesn’t mean you have to completely avoid and ignore the person as doing so will only lead to more hurt. Try and create space and time between you both to heal and clear your minds. During the healing time, if any thing comes up that is not related to your break up but you’d want to share with a friend, feel free to talk to your ex about it as doing so will help you avoid intensity and maintain dynamism in your friendship.

Put away items that remind you of the person
It is easier for ladies to do this but in case you have difficulty putting away gift and memorabilia of your ex, then try as much as possible to view it in a positive light. This can be done replacing a romantic emotion with a positive one regarding the items that remind you of your ex. Think of the items as one given by a friend, family or relative. This would help in reducing your emotional attachment to your ex. Try also to take out time to reminisce about the good and bad times you had with your ex so that you can decide if you truly want to be JUST friends with. If you feel so, then you can try and contact them. Make sure that you do things that will make you happy during this period.

Talk about how much time the two of you won’t be in contact
It would help a lot to find a time frame that the two of you would stay away from each other. Ensure that you both try and stay away from each other within the time frame and decide who will contact whom when the time is up. After this time, ask your ex how they are and if they decide that they need more time, grant it.
Be open minded
If you or your ex decide to date someone else and still want to maintain the friendship, let the other person know. It would be inappropriate for them to find out from grapevine sources as that would inadvertently put an end to the relationship. It is however important that you note that despite the fact that you once dated and are presently friends doesn’t mean they would be cool will intimating you with details of their new relationship as this is bound to make either of you hurt, jealous and uncomfortable.

Efforts may fail to yield results
It is pertinent that you bear in mind that friendship with your ex may be an impossibility for months or ever again as people handle their pains and lives in different ways. Be patient and bear in mind that it takes a while to heal. In time, you may discover that you are both have grown so far apart and have nothing left to be friends for. If it so happens this way, revel in the good times and cherish the things you learnt while you were in the relationship. You’ve got no choice at this point than to move on as failing to let go will hinder new opportunities waiting to come your way.

They trying playing thos trick on me about three years back. With same words after carefully observing the product, I find out that its Same specs as a normal out door/indoors antenna reciver. I told them that they can play the tricks that I know on me also wont buy.
Luckily for my friend, he knew I was knowledgeable in electronics so he sought my advice I told him before the scammers. That they are using a deceitful marketing strategy to rip their customers of their money The guy got angry at me and started throwing scud missile words at me. I warned him to be mindful wat wat he says in my domain else he goes back empty handed.
The funniest scam most people fell for was convincing them to buy a single hot plate cooker which can work without. Electricity by placing the hot plate surface directly facing the sun for six hours before using it to cook and it will work for eight days before another recharge and this lady paid around 6k for it.

HealthWhat Not To Put In That Microwave by ethylene(op): 4:50am On Apr 15, 2015
Microwaves can make life convenient, but they should be used sparingly, firstly because of the radiation they emit and secondly because they can be dangerous. Here are some items that you should never put in the microwave.

Eggs: Even if you’re in a hurry, take the time to boil your eggs on the stove instead of trying to boil them in the microwave. The extreme heat generates a lot of steam within the eggs and they eventually explode, leaving you a mess to clean up.


Fruits: Whether you want to thaw fruits or cook with them, avoid doing so in the microwave. A few fruits can take the extreme heat, but most can’t. Grapes tend to explode and raisins become smoky.


Chili Peppers: While nothing will happen to the chili peppers, you should avoid putting them in the microwave because they release a pungent chemical that can burn your eyes and face when you open the door.

Red Sauce: If you’ve ever cooked red sauce on the stove, you’ll know that it tends to bubble and spit. In the microwave, this reaction is much more violent, causing the sauce to explode all over. You can heat up red sauce in the microwave for a minute or so, but avoid keeping it for longer.

Vegetables: A lot of people warm up their vegetables in the microwave, but this kills their nutritional content. A study found that putting broccoli in the microwave caused it to lose 97 percent of its antioxidants.

Frozen Meat: If you are trying to defrost frozen meat, either remove it from the fridge well in advance or hold it under running water. Avoid putting it in the microwave, as the outside will burn and the inside will still remain frozen.

Politics[graphical] Violence Outbreaks In South Africa As Black Foreigners Are Attacked. by ethylene(op): 12:15am On Apr 15, 2015
At least 5 people have been killed in an outbreak of xenophobic violence in South Africa.

The violence reportedly began after reported comments by Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini, an influential figure among the Zulu ethnic group, that foreigners should “pack their bags” and leave.

Zwelithini has however begged for an end to the violence.

Malawi’s information minister, Kondwani Nankhumwa, has stated that the country is already looking to move its citizens out of South Africa.

“Most of them fled with literally nothing to safe camps,” the minister said. “The numbers will swell since some Malawians are in hiding.” http://www.360nobs.com/2015/04/xenophobicsa-violence-breaks-out-in-south-africa-as-black-foreigners-are-attacked-graphic-photos/

AutosNeed For Speed Gone Wrong In China (pictures) by ethylene(op): 2:49pm On Apr 12, 2015
The Fast and the Furious’ series films have drawn a large number of fans around the world for its selling points of roaring wheels, but when people try to bring those points to the real world, tragedy will usually occur.




Two expensive ‪cars‬, a Ferrari and a Lamborghini, collided near the National Stadium in Beijing at 9 pm on Saturday, according to a report by the Beijing Times.










The two cars were going extremely fast, and the collision left one of the drivers injured and the vehicles severely damaged.










While overtaking the ‪Ferrari‬, the ‎Lamborghini‬ rubbed the other car and hit the wall on the right before hitting the divider, according to witnesses at the scene.










The report went on to say that both of the drivers are from the same ‪automobile‬ club.

Christianity EtcEaster Traditions: The Six Most Unusual Customs From Across Europe by ethylene(op): 7:22am On Apr 06, 2015
There's nothing like a traditional holiday to bring out some of the more unusual levels that humans can take traditions to.
Here is some 6 lists of some of the more bizarre Easter traditions that take place across Europe.

1.Corfu: Pottery smashing.
You did be wise to watch your head if you happen to find your self wandering through the streets of corfu on any Easter Saturday.
At the stroke of 11am, the residents begin enthusiastically lobbing all sorts of pottery out of their windows.in another example of the ancient Grecian high art of smashing. The noisy custom apparently derives from venetian tradition when on new year day , they threw their old possessions from the window in the hope of receiving new ones.

2.Norway: Everyone reads a crime novel. it might sound like the title of sightly lazy satirical article but it's true. In 1923 two Norwegians call ed d Nordahl Greig and Nils Ire wanted to get some publicity for their crime novel titled fairly literally, " the Bergen train was robbed at night". They paid the national newspaper Afternposten to print the title on its front page on Easter Sunday as if it was a real news story and this cemented as its seasonal classic. From then on the traditions of paskekrim took hold in which Norwegians settle down a piece of crime fiction to see them through the last dregs of their long winter.

3.Germany: Dancing is banned. the German tradition of tanzverbot dose not differentiate between waltzing or twerking, all forms of boogey are forbidden in 13 out of 16 German states on good Friday, the ban dates back to the puritanical Lutherans who weren't particularly known for their love for good times. Trendy clubbers in Berlin are not thought to be affected.

4.Czech Republic: Whipping women with wallow branches.
spare the thought for the poor women of the Czech in what is perhaps the most bizarre of all the Easter traditions. Men ceremonially whip their women with a stick of wallow branches, thus apparently to ensure fertility and vitality as the willow is the first tree to wake in the spring. How kind grin

5.Finland: Watching grass grow. maybe not quite as exciting a number of Other Easter rituals, finland's offing is a wonderfully quant ode to spring, certainly not to be confused with actually just a bit boring.
Children plant grass in small portable beds inside the house and literally sit and watch it grow. The excitement really ramps up to new levels when the shoots breaks through though as children place eggs among the stems.

6 Hungary: Throwing bucket of cold water over women.
the name 'Sprinkling' makes this one sound rather nice but intact, Hungary's Easter tradition as anyone who has ever fled in fear from an elderly sibling brandishing a bucket of water can attest to, it's a little more extreme than it's sounds, also known more appropriately as 'Ducking Monday', men chuck bucket Of cold water over women to assume that they don't "wilther" like flower...how charming grin grin grin
