Shahrus LOL! Send a thousand fleas to my assistant who spends more time NOT doing his job, than doing it! Leaving me with more work than I already do! I'm working on having him fired... I'm also wondering which idiot in the HR department he must have slept...

The best tropical place to visit

mellis123 @mellis123 (15) • United States 21 Oct 09

I have been to Cozumel, Puerto Rico, and Fiji. I would like to travel to Fiji or Hawaii. What would you suggest? Give me some of your experiences traveling to tropical places.

Shahrus Cozumel and Puerto Rico are lovely, but there are far too many people there, especially at the beaches. Same with those at Mazatlan. My gripe with Puerto Rico is that there are far too many muggers there. Nearly got mugged at the beach, while in my swimming...

Some may recall that a couple of weeks ago my son had an encounter with a smelly green bug landing on his chicken. This is of a similiar nature but not the same. Also it may not be controvesial as the beetle wasn't...

Shahrus Glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaves, seasoned with red ants. It's a Malaysian delicacy I tried, all unknowing. I thought the fried red things were chili peppers. Crunchy, tangy chili peppers. I was most unhappy when I found out otherwise. Another...

A test to show psychopthic tendendies.

Apparently a study was done which showed that people who are not pshychopaths will not discover the correct answer to this question. If you have phsychopathic tendencies or are a indeed a physchopath you will know the answer. This...

Shahrus maximax8, this has been going on for some time now. My parents live in Mallorca, which is above Africa, and I've seen it first hand a number of times: Small boats loaded with people from the African continent trying to sneak into Spanish territory. On...

Shahrus I love nata de coco! It's not only healthy, but has some interesting technology (for microchips and acoustic plates) and medical applications (for burn victims), as well. Sadly, though a Filipino invention, Indonesia is now the leading producer, followed...

Anyone fancy a raw olive?

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 13 Oct 09

Some may like them, some detest them, there seems to be no middle ground with olives. There are two kinds, olives for oil and olives for eating, but did you know that an eating olive directly from the tree is inedible? It takes 40...

Shahrus I love olives! As to other foods that need to be processed before being edible (to humans), 5 come to mind: 1) sabah: a kind of super starcy banana that can be eaten in any variety of ways, as either a fruit or a vegetable. The only way sabah can NOT be...

Shahrus My first reaction would be to find out if we spoke a common language. Assuming we did, I would then interview them about their physical health, history, qualifications, skill level, etc. I would then threaten to report them to the authorities unless they...

Shahrus This is absolutely hilarious! OK, spill! Which airline is it? I travel a lot, so I need to know which NOT to use. You'll know it's gone too far when they charge you for the oxygen! "Ladies and gentlemen, we will soon move past the oxygen belt....

Speak English Please

wlee9696 @wlee9696 (595) • United States 30 Sep 09

How often do you light candles?

rg0205 @rg0205 (2636) • Hong Kong 15 Sep 09

A friend of mine once went with me to the mall. While we were there, I bought quite a lot of candles. Most were tea candles. She was quick to respond by saying: "What's with you and candles? Did someone die?" I thought she was...

Shahrus Candles are wonderful! I especially like the scented ones, my favorite being rose. I only buy alcohol based ones which consume themselves, like those used for tea candles. I too, am an aromatherapy addict, using tea candles for oil burners (which I...

Praying to God and ask for...Money??

ibuemma @ibuemma (2953) • United States 15 Sep 09

Shahrus I ask God for things all the time! The way I see it, She won't give you everything you ask for, so the more you ask, the statistical odds are, you'll get at least some of them! I find myself in a constant dialogue with God all the time. Thank...

Shahrus I've never had a hard time saying "NO!" It's the easiest thing in the world to say! Monosyllabic, straight and to the point, one of the easiest English words to spell. I long ago found it easier to say "no", then change my mind and say "yes", than to...
