I'm interested please. I come on line too often, to almost nothing that needs taking care of in events. Plus, my love for here is original.

Happy Birthday to the one and only Shegs!

I wish you all that it takes to make a verrry happy life.

Tayo, thanks really.

Well, there you go. Purple goes with orange and so does blue.

Let us know what you think as time goes on.

What colors have you always considered attractive?

chumama films: Dear mod,
I need to attach pictures to my post,please how do I do that?either creating a new topic or replying an existing one.thanks

Dear Chumama, all you have to do is write whatever you may in the message box and then go on to click one of the little boxes, on which "browse" is written, just beneath the message box. This action will lead you to the pictures folder on your device, from which you can select your choice file to upload. After selection, hit submit and...voila!

However, since Nairaland doesn't allow uploads of files that are over 200kb, it becomes necessary that you edit by reducing the pixel of the picture file, even if by one, to make the size of it, reduce markedly. This is not to say that the image will become distorted in any way though.

Another way to upload pics on here could be copying their '"image link(s)" from somewhere else on the web, where they must have been hosted already - e.g facebook, jobberman..
In this case, you right click on the image, select "copy image link" NOT "copy link", get back on nairaland, click the little icon that's at the top of the page (after you must have hit reply) with something like a picture/book drawn on it. Hitting the icon will reveal this; [/image][image]. Paste the copied image link in between this and then hit submit.

This method is preferable because you can discuss, post a pic, discuss, post and on like that...
But in the former, your image can only appear after all you have to say...except of cos, you want to make a second comment or post an inconsequential thing like an emoticon or a full stop-- because it is completely impossible to post a pic using this method, with nothing in the message box.

I'll be here, if you experience any more difficulty.

You send a message to the moderator of the section, in which you have the thread. Or you simply edit, by removing the content of the thread (only that which you posted) and replacing with inconsequential things like --, !!

I'd love to have a chat with kaeto. Does he visit here? Tell him I said hi!

Oam4j, hi too.

dasparrow: @Post

Congrats. Wishing you happy married life. Make sure you remain faithful because the high rate of infidelity in Nigerian marriages is nothing to write home about. Just saying.....

Funny how the problem didn't use to be major. Not until the women began to reciprocate.

Hmmn. If she actually could twerk all that, then, hmmmmn.

Awww, best wishes sweets!

Hehe.
It can neeeever be high, believe me. So long as I'm uncomfortable.

I get uncomfortable and make them stop. I've a technique. I begin to act as though I'm giving him a rating, with a kind of stern look. I look down at his trousers, his shoes..hover for a while and then I look back up to catch his eyes. More often than not, I don't.
