Politics / Re: Nairalander With Vice President Of Guyana by SunshineNYC(f): 3:41am On Sep 11, 2015 |
onoja12: Saw a lot of ignorant comments and that's to be expected. Guyana is not yet well known and unfortunately all people seem to know is the tragedy that took place there ages ago. Nothing of the natural resources, gold, diamonds, bauxite and recently discovered oil! I'm interested to know what circumstances took you to Guyana and what your experience has been like so far? |
Romance / Re: Ladies Opinion On Dating Or Even Marrying A Man Who Is Standing At 5ft In Height by SunshineNYC(f): 12:45am On Aug 29, 2015 |
I'll be honest. Yes, you will probably face some difficulty in dating because women are generally attracted to bigger/taller men but at the same time we're not that shallow. If a woman wants to start a serious relationship with a man she believes fits the qualities she's looking for, she won't be stuck on his height. If she can't see past that then you don't want that kind of woman anyway. My advice is bring a lot to the table. It's easy to overlook a physical trait that's not particularly desirable If the person has an overwhelming amount of good qualities that you would want. Don't be so insecure about it either, it's a turn off and humor or charm invites people in to want to get to know you. Try it and Good luck! 2 Likes |

Family / Re: My Neighbour And His Fiancee by SunshineNYC(f): 4:27am On Aug 19, 2015 |
I hope this is serious. If it is there are a few suggestions you can share with your neighbor. 1. See a doctor, a lot of women get severe cramps but when the pain is debilitating it would be wise to get it checked out. Others mentioned endometriosis. It could be, but only a medical professional can say. 2. Stay away from cold drinks during this time. It may sound silly but skip the ice and chilled water and drinks. Have room temperature water and lots of warm/hot drinks. 3. Limit sugar and junk food intake. Like seriously cut back on your intake during that time. 4. Lots of fruit and copious amounts of water. The more water the better. 5. Exercise! Yes exercise really helps with cramps. Most women don't want to go to the gym when they're already in pain but even the smallest bit of cardio can help. If you especially work out the days leading up to your period it helps. 6. GINGER TEA!!! I can't tell you how much this helps the cramps. Just slice up some fresh ginger root and boil it in water with a black tea bag. Add milk and honey. Don't skip the honey. 7. Eat bananas. They have pain relieving properties. Some nuts like walnuts (I'm not sure how accessible that is in Nigeria) has pain relieving properties too. 8. Make sure to take B vitamins, especially B6. Take fish oil supplements. The Omega 3 is helpful. Good luck to her and all the females with this issue. Men I know u can't relate but be understanding. It's no joke. |

Food / Puff Puff Recipe by SunshineNYC(f): 3:32am On Aug 15, 2015 |
Sooooo I tried to make puff puff today and it was a miserable fail. I guess for my first try it wasn't a complete disaster but I need some help for next time. Here are my concerns: 1. After leaving the mixture to raise for 45 mins it had a LOT of bubbles. When I fried it the inside was full of holes and pretty much hollow. What did I do wrong? 2. Idk if my tastebuds are super sensitive but all I could taste was yeast I thought to just add less yeast next time but what if they don't come out fluffy? 3. Nutmeg or no nutmeg? 4. How do I make them look better aka rounder and more uniformed? Pleaseeeee share your recipes with exact ingredients and measurements If you don't mind. I used dry yeast and all purpose flour btw. Should I use self rising flour and instant yeast instead? I attached a pic of my awful puff puffs for your entertainment lol Thanks! For any and all help.

Dioxidane: I agree. It's lazy and annoying. Somehow I think people do it because it seems cool to them. How? I'm not sure but it's definitely a fad. I'm ok with abbreviating some things for the sake of texting but a whole conversation of unnecessarily chopped up words is too much man. |

dearpreye: I'll share two "One thing you can count on in Santo Domingo. Not the lights, not the law. Sex. That never goes away. I didn't bother with the romance. I let take me to a love motel on our first "date". He was one of those vain politicos, a peledeísta, had his own big air-conditioned jípeta. When I pulled my pants down you never saw anybody so happy. Until I asked him for two thousand dollars. American, I emphasized. It's like Abuela says: Every snake thinks it's biting into a rat until the day it bites into a mongoose" "More miracles, The next morning Oscar woke up and despite the tremendous tidings in his heart, despite the fact that he wanted to run over to Ybon's house and shackle himself to her bed, he didn't. He knew he had to cogerlo con take it easy, knew he had to rein in his lunatic heart or he would blow it. Whatever it was. Of course the nigger was entertaining mad fantasies inside his head. What do you expect? He was a not-so-fat fatboy who's never kissed a girl, never even lain in bed with one, and now the world was waving a beautiful puta under his nose. It's historical fiction set partly in the Dominican Republic and partly in New Jersey. It chronicles the life of a very disfunctional family, particularly the main character Oscar who is a misfit living a tragic life. There's a lot of Spanish words and phrases interjected but it's really a good book. I don't know what languages you speak but I've put meaning to the Spanish words as best I could. Politicos - politician Peledeísta - member of a specific party in the DR Jípeta - A big SUV, commonly called a jeep no matter the make Abuela - grandmother Cogerlo con - With ease/ take it easy (not sure) Puta - Ashawo 2 Likes 1 Share |

There's nothing wrong with you. You're just more of an introvert than most. The teenage years are tricky. I would advise you to socialize a bit more but if you simply don't feel it necessary to do so, don't put that pressure on yourself or allow others to put pressure on you to do so. Socializing at any age has its perks though. Don't be closed off to it but do what makes you comfortable. 1 Like |

ndrule: You're right I did want a future with him. He's a Christian, hard working, very family oriented, doesn't drink or do drugs, doesn't party or keep too much company. He's never harsh with his words and respectful to others. I saw so many qualities in him that I wanted in my future husband and I was sold on him in the beginning stages of our relationship. He just does not know how to be in a relationship, I get hurt a lot by his actions, coldness and withdrawn attitude when it comes to our relationship. He has been hurt in the past and It felt like I was paying for whoever hurt him. He just refuses to open his heart to another woman and I need to realize that I can't change him. You're right he doesn't seem to fully understand how much his actions hurt me but it's my duty to protect myself and stop this from continuing. Thanks for your encouraging words. |

ndrule: We have not gotten back together since that break up but we did speak and he said how sorry he was and that he wishes to make up for what he did wrong. I have not responded yet and since reading all the good advice and encouraging words here I will not respond. I'm moving on. He has shown remorse for the stuff he did. He begs and apologized profusely then turns around and messes up again. I it always seems genuine when he's saying sorry but I don't think it really was. If genuine, he wouldn't keep hurting me. I believe that firmly now. 1 Like |
