I ve been following this thread all day and ve been quite impressed by the selflssness and public spiritedness of NLers. Im also ready to contribute my quota towards helping the OP. However, cant seem to find any mention of the potential organ donor. Has that been settled?

In my opinion, meat is not what makes people fat; it's carbs. Carbohydrates are very cheap and easy to digest and so it's easier to over-eat when your diet is high in carbs. They digest quickly and soon you are hungry again, and they provide nothing but calories to your body.

Protein is hard to digest; 20-30% of the calories in protein are used to digest the protein, so the effective calories are low, and also helps to build your muscles if you exercise a lot, which is good because muscles burn calories. Fat is very rich in calories, just like carbohydrates, but hard to digest, so meals high in fat tend to make you feel full, thus contributing less to weight gain than carbohydrates.

In my opinion, based on my experience, the first step in every weight loss program should be getting rid of high carb foods like rice, indomie, eba, amala, fufu, yam, pap/custard, soft drinks, and even most types of fruit juice. It's an effortless way to reduce your calorie intake. Replace them with beans, moin moin, akara, fish/meat/chicken in moderation, whole fruits (not juice), iced water, etc. I call it "effortless" because many low carb foods e.g. the ones above taste just as nice as high carb foods, so you're not missing much by sticking to them.

How many of your fellow young girls will you dissuade from dancing half naked in musical videos??

Mizchief:
It's a pleasant surprise

Mizchief:
You're 24, seriously?

striktlymi:
Yea, I agree with the wrong impression thingy. I don't think people should conclude based on looks anyways.

@Pix...

You look very nice. I like your eyes especially. Very pretty and sexy (pardon my language here). What are the guys around you waiting for?

You look quite young too...more like an 18 year old

Did you graduate at 16?

striktlymi:
Haba...

I am in my thirties na, why won't I look married. If I don't look married I will be very worried.

Diary? I may update it today hopefully.

I would have asked to see your pics but knowing how strongly some of you hold on to anonimity, I think I will pass.

striktlymi:
Hmmm....

I guess the picture I have in my profile didn't reveal much.


Okay here you go:

striktlymi:
Lol!


I guess you now see why it's easier for me to simply focus my radar on Catholic chics and avoid the hassle of conversion.

Hmmm...

I believe ones specs are there to guide, they may not matter in the end. If I see a lady who I really like and she comes to understand and accept Catholicism, not because of me but because she is truly convinced, then I have no P taking her to the altar.

@Bold:

I live only for one reason: to love, serve and adore God. Without this my existence is futile. Though I am very far from being a saint but I believe my family's future should be geared towards achieving this profound love for God and all that He holds dear, and in the end be rewarded with the beatific vision. This is what is important for me and any family I choose to build.

I am not one who discriminates but I am very practical to the extent that it is now a fault. What is practical is that there are people who hate me because I am Catholic. I don't want a partner who would pretend to want Catholicism...this would become a major ish if it is the case. I want one who can learn to love the Church as much as I do.

The person need not be Catholic at the moment. This is something I can help the person work on. Anyways, the person I am looking for would be open minded and ready to combine logic with faith. We can always reach a meeting point if both of us are sincere. If the lady is analytical, she can easily see the good in Catholicism as long as she is ready to study.

It would be more like how Scott Hahn helped the wife Kimberly to see the good in Catholicism. Lol!

striktlymi:
'More' in this case would be to have someone who would know my weakness, appreciate the fact that those weaknesses define my humanity and love me no less than I do her.

'More' would be to have someone I can trust with my life, someone who, though not perfect, appreciates the fact that it is not just about getting married but more about building a lasting union.

'More' would be to have someone whose visions, hopes and aspirations would become mine and mine hers. Someone whose goal is to help me move from good to better as we both strive for the best.

In a nutshell 'more' is having someone who can become my partner, not a 'house slave', a 'baby making factory' or an 'o yes member' who believes the man has all the bright ideas but one who can contribute meaningfully to the growth of family life and is comfortable with making joint decisions with me.

I am not sure if I can ever meet a lady like that but one thing is certain, I won't marry if I am in the least uncomfortable with any lady I meet. This is why I choose to remain on my own till I find what I am looking for. Not in the habit of having side chics. Lol!

Why Catholic? Hmmmm.......

I can marry any lady I fall in love with, irrespective of the lady's religion but my notion of love transcends I and my future girlfriend. It goes beyond us to the kids we will make together.

I believe firmly that a love between two individuals that does not consider their future children is not complete. Bringing up children goes beyond the material, there is a spiritual dimension to it.

Call this selfish but I want my kids to be brought up as Catholics. This responsibility should rest on the shoulders of my future wife and I. If I don't believe in something I would be reluctant in doing it.

Thus, having a companion who helps raise the kids in Catholicism without believing in her is like punishing the lady. I think this would be unfair of me. Hence my desire to marry a Catholic or someone who though not a Catholic now but would get to understand and accept the Church. After all I started as a pagan. Lol!

hmm..lyk "early-greying-peeps" or "legion of early greyin gentlemen" club...good idea....dt wd b a scene in Harry Porter wt Gandaalf on a Rockin chair as Chairman..

striktlymi:
I believe her fear is that its not difficult for me to make a decision to remain single for the rest of my life.

I think babes should be able to tell when a guy is single, especially when the guy does not wear a ring and lives alone.

Anyways, I am quite open to letting ladies know that I am single and searching.

Problem is that I have seen soooooo many ladies who care only for marriage. I need more than that.

striktlymi:
Thank you for your kind words. I used to think ladies have a problem with young men with greys. Probably because I currently am 'babeless'. Your mention has given me a different perspective.

@topic

I started going grey quite early. My first strand of grey appeared in my teens but then it wasn't obvious. It became obvious in my late twenties, primarily because of the stress of work. Pretty soon I should have an all grey beared.

At first I used to be bothered about it, considering that my immediate elder brother is yet to have a strand of grey hair but as time went by I got used to it and now I try to make the most of it by making it look a bit stylish.

Though my mum advised that I shave not to scare ladies away but I believe in being with someone who would accept me irrespective of my appearance. If a lady can't accept me when I am grey then I don't want her if I have no greys.
