More inspiration in pictures….

Wow, things have been somewhat hectic around here lately and most likely will continue to be so for a while. Therefore, you may have noticed that my posts haven’t been as regular as I’d like. Hopefully, that will change soon. In the meantime,  you may be interested to know that my previous post ‘a little […]

A little inspiration…. in pictures.

From time to time, we can all do with a little inspiration to get us through the day… here are a collection of pictures that will, hopefully, do just that.   Did you LIKE any of these images?

Facebook ‘friends’; isn’t it time for a good culling?

“… if your so called Facebook friends are not showing an interest in, commenting on or contributing to the events that take place in your life, doesn’t that just make them a new breed of voyeur?” I’ve carried out a rudimentary online poll asking Facebook users what percentage of their ‘friends’, on average, they believe […]

Surrounded by negative people? Read on…

Have you ever dealt with negative people before? If you have, you will know that the experience can be quite a downer. I used to have an ex-colleague who was very negative. In our conversations, he would complain endlessly about work and life. He was also very cynical about people in general, often doubting their […]

Friday’s 10 ‘interesting’ facts

Antarctica is the only continent without reptiles or snakes. An eagle can kill a young deer and fly away with it. In the Caribbean there are oysters that can climb trees.

Racism’s double standard

“We’re all too terrified to do or even say the wrong thing; TV shows are banned, products are removed or renamed for fear of causing offence.” The BNP’s (British National Party) win in London (apparently through proportional representation) has only served to stoke the racism fire. Whether or not this small gain was a message […]

Have you ever stopped to wonder….?

Have you ever stopped to wonder…. Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why women can’t put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat? Why there is a light […]

Life’s lessons that I have learned. How about you?

I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I’ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back. I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it. […]
