I strongly believe the loved one (gf/bf or husband/wife) are the ones sit in front and best friend sit in back except for those who is health problem/disability or elder person must be in front seat.

No, relationship does not based on material things and money ALONE! It dooms and causes a failed relationship!

For me, the following criteria at below that make the most relationship will eventually get to its climax (blissful marriage). Love becomes part of the ingredient (others include understanding, committment, honesty, patience, tolerance, discipline). Without the following criteria at below, relationship/marriage dooms!

For strong relationship between two people connect that is based on:

Whisper sex talk into my ear DOES NOT WORK! Because of my deafness, I had to turn my hearing aids off putting them on my nighttable before lovemaking.

Because my hearing aids would bother hearing guy---he can hear it E-E-E-E-E-E-E sound when it comes to closer to my ears.

Yes, soft mellow music can goove my man into lovemaking scene mixed with my secret trademarked sexual methods that hit him on the ceiling hardest. LOL! _{I know what men tick for woman on sexually---make him come back for more.}

Darn! I missed lovemaking so much!

@poster

You were right. I saw the pic from Nairalander ID's profile: nakedwoman that was hilarious!

On Nov 1, 2007 at Ocho Rios, Jamaica where I went, its weather was scattered thunderstorm with 83F degree. 2 hours pouring raining shortly then sunny all day afterward. It was very hot and very humidity for me.

The Island Village shopping plaza has air conditioned except for this Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville that has many ceiling fans because it has hut-like open-space style with their monster waterslide, paddle up to their swim-up pool bar, restaurant, and step up from cruise ship pier. Very nice view of my whole cruise there facing us.

Largest dancing floor that is big enough for everyone dancing at least 50 people or more.

From my experience going to Ocho Rios, Jamaica:

I loved Jamaica that I went to Ocho Rios from my 7-days Royal Caribbean International: 2007 Deaf Freedom Cruise on November 1, 2007. That cruise carried totally 3,900 deaf travellers from all over the world with 125 certified interpreters everywhere both on the ship and ashore. The 1,500 ship crews had been trained learning how to communicate with deaf customers using sign language basically for one week sailing on West Caribbean trips. (4 ports: Cozumel, Mexico; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; St Georgetown, Grand Cayman Island and Hispaniola, Haiti---Haiti was cancelled due to hurricanes season) At the ashore, there are beefed tight Jamaica security polices everywhere to protect deaf travellers from any harms. Roughly over 100 Jamaica licensed taxis/vans with red license plates only that has been screened by Jamaica security police at the cruise port parking lot are ready for those travellers to be picked up riding.

Roughly 1,000 deaf travellers get ashore for either walking on the shore, booking on reserved ticket shore excursions, or getting ride on taxi trip to the Jamaica school for the deaf to sightseeing its deteriorated school building in order to donate money for renovation.

In Ocho Rios, I went to new Island Village Shopping with my 4 deaf females to look around what they have because it is nearby from cruise ship dock two minutes walking distance.

At first outside of the ship dock once we 5 deaf females step out walking toward to the shopping plaza, the CRAZED TAXI DRIVERS on the street offered us in written paper $2 dollars per person tour trip that we refused to go. Because they are not shown red licenses taxi---they don't look like taxi drivers to us. WE DEAF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT how dangerous getting ride from unlicensed taxi drivers in Jamaica being KIDNAPPED, MURDER, RAPED, ETC.

Inside shopping plaza has plenty of shopping you like to buy very cheaper half price from regular what you saw in America including movie theaters there. We were greeting pulled by Jamaican Hospitality Coordinators getting inside of Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville to enjoy ourself dancing for 4 hours. It was the right time because outside was pouring raining harder. As of result we 4 female out of 5 get FREE tropical margarita drinks. It was LONG DRINK BONG- - - took us a time to drink for 4 hours to finish them.

That place was crowded with over 200 deaf people watching us dancing all day long i mean 4 hours. I found out that those deaf people thought I was deaf Jamaican, LOL! Because I wore cornrow braid style look completely different from those black Jamaican' dreadlocked hairs. They (deaf cruisers) shocked seeing me on our deaf cruise---OBVIOUSLY I am not a Jamaican. Because it was impossible to know everyone on the ship with almost 4,000 deaf people.

That is why i loved Jamaica, dancing at LIVE REGGAE MUSIC along with those Jamaica working staff including hospitality coordinator. I took picture of that 19 years old skinny Ocho Rios born flexible Jamaica dancer with me that she told me that she grew up dancing since age 8---still poor to make money to help out her family while school.

She could not believe me can dancing at my age that triple than her age. LOL! I sweat-ed with my summer dress wet whole 4 hours having good time there. LOL.

Finally my cruise departed at 5pm for next port the next day---i wish i never want to leave Jamaica. I will come back again with Jamaica tour package from travel agency without cruise this year. Darn! I lost my last disposable one-time camera upon arriving Florida off my ship---i was disappointed. Ocho Rios was my best memory plus cruise was my first time trip that I will never forgot!!

Description of Ocho Rios from my Cruise Compass newsletter i received on Nov. 1, 2007:

The town of Ocho Rios, on Jamaica's north coast is edged with beautiful white-sand beaches and unbelievable landscapes. Contrary to popular belief, its name does not refer to "eight rivers", the literal Spanish translation. It is derived instead from the Spanish word "chorreras," meaning "waterfalls," of which Ocho Rios has many- - - including the famous and spectacular Dunn's Falls. For a big adventure, try a Jeep safari adventure and climb 2,000 feet up to Murray Hill for a panoramic view of Ocho Rios, the Blue Mountains and Cuba.

Capital: Kingston is the capital of Jamaica.

Location: Ocho Rios is about 90 miles south of Cuba.

Size: Jamaica has a total land area of 4,441 square miles. This lozenge shaped island measures 146 miles from east to west and 51 miles from north to south at its broadest point.

Population: Approximately 2.5 million people live in Jamaica, 6,000 of whom live in Ocho Rios.

Language: The official language is English but most people speak an English-based patois.

Currency: The official unit of currency is the Jamaican dollar (JA). US dollars, travelers checks, and credit cards are accepted anywhere.

Time Zone: Jamaica is on Eastern Standard Time, but does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

History: Jamaica's national motto, "Out of Many, One People", accurately reflects the melange of people who consititue the nation. Jamaica's unique identity is a result of the combination of its location in the temperate Caribbean, the interaction of races and cultures that have had roles in shaping the nation and a history marked by a desire for freedom and self-determination. Together, these elements have formed the island's character and instilled in its people a feeling of pride in their country, its traditions and achievements.

A rambling resort on Jamaica's north coast, Ocho Rios has long been one of the island's most popular vacation spots. The town has a coast that is lined with pristine white beaches and lush green hills.

The town itself contains only one historic site: The Fort was built in 1777 to defend the town against seafaring invaders. Small cannons that were once part of the fort's defenses still remain.

Fern Gully is a lush spot located a couple of miles south of town. The road follows a dry river bed that was planted with ferns in the late 19th century. The gully is a protected preserve; photographs are permitted, but touching or harming the ferns is prohibited. Jamaica boasts more varieties of ferns than any other location in the world- - - more than 550 native species.

Just west of downtown Ocho Rios, you will discover one of Jamaica's most famous waterfalls - Dunn's River Falls. The cool mountain waters plunge 600 feet to smooth limestone beds, then stream under the roadway before mingling with the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Whether you climb the Falls or swim in the chilly eddies on the ocean side, you are sure to remember this place.

Local Flavors:
There are a number of fabular shopping plazas in Ocho Rios. The best bets for great duty-free buys are Taj Mahal, Soni's Plaza and Island Village Shopping Center. Shoppers can select from brand name jewelry and fine watches to scented candles' and hand rolled cigars. Famous Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is also a must while in Ocho Rios.

What is Energy drinks?
Energy drinks are soft drinks advertised as being specifically designed to provide energy. Generally they include a combination of methylxanthines (including caffeine), B vitamins, and herbal ingredients. Other ingredients commonly include guarana (extracts from the guarana plant) or taurine plus various forms of ginseng, maltodextrin, inositol, carnitine, creatine, glucuronolactone and ginkgo biloba. Some contain high levels of sugar, while most brands also offer an artificially sweetened version. The central ingredient in most energy drinks is caffeine the same stimulant found in coffee or tea, often in the form of guarana (as in Josta, for example) or yerba mate.

What is it equivalent to?
The average 237 ml (8 fl. oz.) energy drink has about 80mg of caffeine, about the same amount as a weak cup of coffee, with 480 ml (16 fl. oz.) drinks containing around 150mg, although recent drinks have created a stir by containing as much as 300mg of caffeine. The amount of quantitative 'energy' (as measured in Calories) found in these drinks is often lower than that found in regular soft drinks and currently there is no scientific basis for concluding that the non-caffeine elements in these drinks contribute to either short-term mental alertness or physical performance.

These drinks are typically marketed to young people, and people 'on the go.' Approximately 65% percent of energy drink users are under the age of 35 years old, with males representing approximately 65% of the market.

What are Side effects
Energy drinks may cause seizures in those who suffer from certain forms of epilepsy due to the "crash" following the energy high that occurs after consumption. France has banned the popular energy drink Red Bull after the untimely death of eighteen-year-old athlete Ross Cooney, who died after he played a basketball game shortly after consuming four cans of the drink. The French Scientific Committee concluded that Red Bull has excessive amounts of caffeine. Denmark has also banned that particular drink. Britain also investigated the drink, but only issued a warning against its use by pregnant women.

In addition to these complications, recent discoveries have linked excessive amounts of sugar found in energy drinks such as Rockstar, Hype, Monster, Cocaine, and Hulk to an increase in diabetes. Diabetes Mellitus in particular has seen an increase in energy drink consumers. Diabetes mellitus is caused by an excess of purines[citation needed] (caffeine and taurine, also sulfonic acid) which accumulate in the body and can not longer be processed by the kidneys. This leads to dumping of these proteins into the blood and urine, osmotic drainage of fluid, dehydration, damage to body and progression of diabetic symptoms[citation needed]. It may also cause nephrolithiasis.[citation needed]

In the United States, some states are cracking down on energy drink makers that have potentially hazardous ingredients, such as alcohol included in the mix

Its History
It may well have come from Scotland in the form of Irn-Bru, first produced in the form of "Iron Brew" in 1901. In Japan, the energy drink phenomenon dates at least as far back as the early 1960s, with the release of the Lipovitan. Most such products in Japan bear little resemblance to soft drinks, and are sold instead in small brown glass medicine bottles or cans styled to resemble such containers. These "genki drinks", which are also produced in South Korea, are marketed primarily to the salaryman set, to help them work long hours, or to stay awake on the late commute home.

In UK, Lucozade Energy was originally introduced in 1929 as a hospital drink for "aiding the recovery;" in the early 1980s, it was promoted as an energy drink for "replenishing lost energy."

In 1995, PepsiCo launched Josta, the first energy drink introduced by a major US beverage company.

In Europe, energy drinks were pioneered by Dietrich Mateschitz, an Austrian entrepreneur who developed Red Bull based on the Thai drink Krating Daeng, itself based on Lipovitan. Red Bull was introduced to the US in 1997 and is the dominant brand there, with a market share of approximately 47%.

By the year 2001, the US energy drink market had grown to nearly 8 billion per year in retail sales. Over the last 5 years, it grew an average of over 50% per year, totaling over $3 billion in 2005.
Diet energy drinks are growing at nearly twice that rate within the category, as are 16-ounce sized energy drinks. It is estimated to hit nearly 4 billion in 2006, and both Goldman Sachs and Mintel predict that the energy drink market will hit $10 billion by 2010. Major players such as Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Molson, and Labatt have tried to match the small companies' innovative and different approach, with marginal success.

Energy drinks have also become popular as mixers. Many malt beverages such as Sparks, 3sum malt beverage and Max capitalize on the effects of caffeine while drinking alcohol.

Derivatives
Smart energy drinks combine energy drinks with smart drinks. Drinks such as SmartPower and NOS claim that their ingredients modulate how the brain neurochemistry reacts to caffeine, enhancing its positive effects and reducing side-effects.[citation needed]

"Hair of the Dog" brand Energy Drinks are intended to supply liver detoxifiers and anti-oxidants in order to neutralize the effects of alcohol on the body. The combination of detoxifiers was originally developed by doctors to aid cancer patients taking chemotherapy drugs to combat the harmful effects of the drugs have on the liver.[citation needed]

Hybrids of energy and sport drinks, containing electrolytes and herbal extracts such as RELOAD and Vault are also available.

You can do that using pre-marital precaution scale as @olanajim has said it all at above that is helpful tool for yourself in the quality of anti-heartbroken protection.

If you are look for anti-virus software, check out the existing NL thread at below:

Best Anti-Virus For Better Protection
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-99212.0.html

It is obviously that you have not install your own anti-virus/spyware/malware/phish protection software to detect giving you a warning dialog that MP3 file is a virus before you download it. That software is automatically delete any virus file for you.

You don't know whether the MP3 file is virus or not without anti-virus software. Usually the MP3 file you see ".mp3.exe" that always expose as virus. NEVER DOWNLOAD the following file .mp3.exe!!!

ALWAYS DOWNLOAD the following file .mp3.

The solution is if you already have your own Windows XP or Vista CD installation as your backup then you can REFORMAT to wipe off whole system to start all over reinstalling your operating system CD then download your anti-virus software, Windows Upgrade (IT IS MUST ALL THE TIME) and other application software (Microsoft Office suite, graphic editor, media player, imagine viewer) to protect your vulnerability system from virus attacks as well as hacker attack.

If you do not want to reformat your system then google to find the instruction how to remove or replace missing file of "Isass.exe".

I, myself, used to be PC builder to assemble a PC, I still do consulting clients for advise/questions about Do-It-Yourself PC builder.

Nice specs to meet Windows Vista requirement, you got it all.

In my opinion on the following below:
[list]
[li]If you have few movies, few songs and few games on 160GB HDD then it will be fine. But if you are movie/song/game freak to download lot daily basis, then I suggest you increasing either 250GB HDD or 500GB HDD. The alternative method if you are not afford increasing HDD storage space, then you MUST BUY one or two bulk of 10, 25, 50, or 100 pack in spindle of blank CD/DVD disks to burn/rip your favorite music/movie/game files in order to delete/clean up your hard disk space maintainance weekly basis manually at least save 50-100GB that eat up all your music/movie/game files space after finish burning CD/DVD disk(s).[/li]



[li]If you have your own digital camera or cellphone built-in camera that has either USB port or MicroSD compatible or bluetooth/WIFI capability, then you need 6 or 7 in 1 internal Floppy Disk/Card Reader-Writer drive (one for Floppy disk, one for MicroSD, one for Multimedia card, one for Memory stick, one for SmartMedia card, one for Compact Flash card, and one for MicroDrive).[/li]



[li]If you already have laptop or 2nd older PC, then I suggest you to add ethernet card for either router, or bluetooth or WIFI connection to hook up for 2nd PC or laptop within 50-300 feet length around your house/apartment. Best Network brand name: Linksys WIFI support wireless router for main PC and Linksys wireless-G 802.11 b/g standard network adapter (device:either USB or PCcard) for 2nd PC/laptop.[/li]



[li]Don't forget to install or download anti-virus/spyware/mareware/popup blocker/phishing protection software.[/li]

Yahoo boys are fully of stubborn hard-headed constant workalohic spending all day and all night focus on dating sites fooling around people's emotions in order to make money.

They HAVE NO REMOSE to have feeling about TRUE LOVE toward girlfriend or family. Just Bill Gates/Jay-Z/50cents/other richest celebrities wannbe---LOT OF MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, when they know it was impossible.

That is my opinion! They are not only Nigeria, it is everywhere in the world even local right at your neighborhood.

@poster

Have you solved what you do yet?

ifyalways:
the answers have been provided by uspry 1.all of it
we are learning and adjusting.

@poster,good one.
uspry1 txs hon, for a job welldone.

@ Ifyalways, you are welcome.

ThiefOfHearts:
If he or you are late for the meet up, how do you contact the person?

@TOH

If this person is interesting to see me again and I feel in doubt about this person, then I would tell this person meeting the same place from the first date for second date and remind him if either this person or me no show up to meet within 15 to 30 minutes then the date is cancelled, no hard feeling! No reschedule! I still don't give out my phone, email, text message phone number or IP address including IM until second or third dates in order to gain my confidence with this person, PERIOD!!!

Only the special circumstances when time is running out and i like this person very much wanting to see him again, then i would give out my anonymous email address (yahoo, not on my real email address) or IM (Yahoo Messenger, MSN, or AOL-AIM) for setting the same dating arrangement procedure I mentioned above.

After third date once both are seriously interested in seeing each other on FRIENDSHIP LEVEL to give out the point of contact purpose only text message, anonyous email and IM. For serious relationship with taking slow time it would be between 3 weeks to 3 months depend on the characteristics, potentials, and bad pitfalls i look for or watch out.

Between 3-6 months, it will be next level of relationship to start inviting each other at this person's and my place for dining in, entertainment, travel and/or possible meeting with each other families. God forbids about cohabiting that I do not believe in. SORRY!!!!

After 6 months to 1 years up to 3 years, you know what next level---I won't give you all out the details in the form of serious committed relationship, who knows!!! (Normally with FULLY TRUST, LOVE, MATURITY, HONESTY, COMMUNICATION, and COMMITMENT, it would be 1 or 2 years sufficient for marriage-ready---most dating people are FAILED not work out well)

This is so simple and MY OWN DATING PROCEDURE from my own experience I had been through before. That is TOO BAD for this person showing up VERY LATE PASSED 30 MINUTES---i was gone by then!!! NO LAME EXCUSES!!!

For those who date anyone too long more than 3-6 years WITHOUT SERIOUS COMMITMENT and NO ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT is REALLY IMPOSSIBLE, LACK OF COMMUNICATION and OUT OF LOVE---THEREFORE, they are FOOLS waiting for this person TOO LONG in the name of GETTING MARRIAGE!!! That is when cheating or slicking/luring to pretend to love this person start!!!! Not worth!!!

For long distance relationship, it is really impossible and I never try for half way around the world unless this person has valid legal passport/visa eligibility. I do not have that kind of experience like this---i don't see that for myself. I already experienced in only local distance within 25-50 miles radius of my home location in the past.(BIG ADVANTAGE: about my location that is easily accessible to Washington DC, Virginia Beach, Maryland, Appalachin(spelled? ?) Mountain and Northern Virginia---all 3-4 hours driving distance apart each other) Like i say it is 50%/50% work out or fail in long distance relationship.
