RomanceRe: Can You Donate One Of Your Kidneys To Your Love If They Need It? by ShyOne(f): 11:59pm On Mar 17, 2011
me personally

he definitely will get a kidney - especially if the mate is more than "worthy" of you. It is difficulty to find a worthy mate. Once you find one - you give ALL.

he gets a kidney - i need him around - for me life would not be the same without him.

George Lopez

http://www.lopeztonight.com/

famous comedienne, actor - now has his own talk show - talked for years about how his wife saved his life and gave him one of her kidneys

his wife donated one of her kidneys to him - I heard a few months back that they are now getting a divorce. Or they have gotten one already. The first question that came to my mind when I heard the news, "does she get to get her kidney back?"

my guy doesn't spend money - he is a huge saver

i am soo happy - because i see his frugalness as an indicator of a fat bank account and never-ending financial success

i am the big spender and i pray he will help me rein it in and curtail it immediately

What if it is me they sent to you?

My mind is pure, but it seems you have a dirty mind or you 've done things in the past that are abominable

To each his own. My service is still there for you if and surely when you have a change of heart. And I am close-by.
I know your mind is pure - if I didn't have someone I would really consider meeting you - I would

I just can't because he wouldn't understand at all

You are close-by - It would be ideal - that is why it is tempting and you sound interesting as well

I'm just no longer operating solo - everything I do - I must take his presence into consideration - it doesn't have anything to do with having a dirty mind - i just don't want to do anything on my end to cast even a hint of a shadow on my first visit to Lagos

I don't expose myself to ANY MEN until I meet with him because I don't want to be tempted and ruin the blessing that God gave me (him)

It's not you - it's me - I'm sorry - Again you sound great

What do you think?

I'd kill myself and then go to heaven an attempt to kill God if I was Ibo or anything else for that matter. Thank God, I am Yoruba grin

Now we can hangout shey? grin
he will dump me like yesterday's news if i meet a stranger - also it just isn't appropriate - we are really, really planning marriage - i have a solid year in my relationship - March 9 makes a year

i cannot jeopardize that meeting you - even just as friends - it just isn't going to happen

he told me to treat him in a manner in which i would treat myself - i don't want him meeting random women he met online - so i cannot meet you - even though your teaching me to cook is soooo tempting - but i do thank you deeply for offering yourself to me in this manner

[color=deeppink]I think you should hit youtube

Check how to make egusi soup on youtube

or how you could go on the internet, besides i think there is a food section here on NL

you could have a little experience on how 2 make these dishes, we nigerian men we dont Joke

with pounded yam and egusi or draw soup, if you can be perfect in both soup then you could get your husband crawling on his knees for u  grin  grin
[/color]
youtube has this on it? ooooo great!!!! i didn't know that

there is a food section on NL - I really love that soooo much - that section

but I am a visual learner - it is soo important to see someone doing it - it is difficult for me reading - especially that I don't know what these ingredients look like - what is an egusi? I don't even understand the word itself - what does it stand for? is it a vegetable? or is it a title for the dish itself that describes combined ingredients?

many of the spices - I have never heard of them at all - there isn't a nigerian store for me to walk into and talk to a clerk and get them to help me - even if i print out the recipe - i am at such a loss - i just don't know

chicago - has many stores - ethnic based - i sent an email to a department at Notre Dame University and am waiting on a reply - to contact a student Nigerian that can help me before I go to Lagos - that I can pay to let me cook with them in their kitchen so i can surprise him

i want to print the recipes off NL and take them with me and try the different dishes

[color=deeppink]Is your man Nigerian

If he is, then u dont have any issue

Nigerian men are big spenders and we treat our women flawlessly

as long as the cash is in his pocket, its all your's all he needs from you is commitment

and believe me if you push your way into his life by showing interest in everything relating to him from his family, culture and even food

he would go blazez on you, im so proud of you both and believe me you have a fan in 190 wish you the best in your affair  grin  grin[/color]



and lastly please dont over-spend cos money is hard 2 come by these days  grin  grin
Actually - I think I believe you - he sent me tribal clothing - it was beautiful - tribal clothing - gorgeous - from Lagos, he sent to me across the ocean - I had never seen anything like it before - dresses with matching headwear and jewelry and clothes for my family as well

I am going out of my way to learn dishes but don't know any Nigerians in this area yet - I want to surprise him and learn some dishes before I come to Lagos but have found it difficult to trust anyone enough to meet them in this area.  He just wants me to wait until i come to Lagos and he and his family will help me.

I don't want to spend us in the poor house - because I can do that - TRUST ME - my spending daily can be enormous - it is important for both of us that he definitely monitor the account(s) - he isn't stingy with me at all - I just need to make sure I have a small amount of daily money - and I will be content.

I hope you reduced your spending on shoes and clothes  grin  grin

Im putting God first in our relationship its not my strength or that of her's its for God to direct us [/color]
I am focusing very, very hard on getting control of my spending - I don't want to lose him because I am lunatic in store(s) - no lie, I walked in a store the other day and my entire mouth dropped open - eyes got really, really big - The Spring Collection, the colors and fabric of the clothes and shoe designs - God give me strength - pleaaaaazzzzzzzze.  

As you can see - I am still really having hard time with this - but I will win - I promise myself that I will win this battle.

I love that you are putting God First - That is what he and I are doing and miracles are happening in both of our lives - huge miracles.

I moved to Chi-Town. I drove through Indiana and could have come to say hi to you, if I only knew where you live. I never went to party in Indiana, but could come say hi to you, if you dont mind?

RomanceRe: Nigerian Women With Hair Net. by ShyOne(f): 1:10am On Mar 16, 2011
OK

So let's share - I believe in uplifting the race - especially women of color

No bashing of Nigerian Women is going to come from me

As an African American Woman - I was unaware that many AA women wear hair nets to sleep - I didn't because my mom is half-caste - half white/half black and she wasn't taught to wear a hairnet

But my AA female friends showed me how to preserve my hair at night so the pillow doesn't break the ends of the hair which will prevent growth evenly.

After a few nights - I noticed too that the cap would retain a smell - so I actually wash it - handwash it in the morning every other day and let it air dry - because I want my hair to smell good and if the silk cap has an odor - that will permeate the hair
and I am conscious of my appearance

it only takes a few minutes to soak in warm soapy water in the morning - rinse and hang to dry so when evening comes - I can sleep with it.

Also - I wash my hair once a week in freezing weather and twice a week during summer weather - the oil buildup and sweat is the reason for the smell in the hair cap.  I oil my hairline twice a day - and the very tips/ends of my hair - I oil twice a day.

Hope that has been a bit helpful

Ladies do you have any tips I can use?

[color=deeppink]Well shy-one

I did give her the money but i never told her i had stacked all the cash elsewhere

she was wondering how so much money reduced just over 3days of she demanding for a shoe

Well i really think yourself and your man should split your cash into both separate accounts

and you can well be in control of one account and that would limit how much you spend since you spend feverishly

my ex was someone like you, she Gulped money with her 2 hands and 2 legs but i was stronger than her

I knew i had more than enough money else where but looked concerned each time she was considering getting something new

she controlled her spendings cos she knew the official account we both shared was low on cash, at the end of the day I WON AND TAMED HER!!![/color]
thank you - thank you - thank you

i am soo out of control in spending - it is my dirty little secret

now that i am in a relationship - he has discovered what i have tried to hide

we are planning a great life together and it is sooo essential that i get my spending under control - i marvel, completely marvel at his level of control and restraint - i have never witnessed in my life someone who is as restrained and deliberate as he

both of our names will be on the new account but he will be the ONLY signer (THIS IS per my request - because i fear i will spend through it until i can get better control of my spending)

THE ACCOUNTS we don't share will have the low balances.

190 thank you for your thought process - it helps me with my planning(s)

these threads - many of them at NL is very helpful on millions of different levels

i asked you specifically

because you said your girl asked for money for shoes

did you give money to her for shopping?  and if you did

do you set aside a certain amount for shopping for her regularly?

we are negotiating now and i am researching this $$$ handling between men and women

and how you men handle this area so i can learn

I know his account and he knows my account

we just combined accounts as well

we discuss money, pins, passwords as one would discuss a favorite television show - we are trusting and very casual in this regard with each other
