something we try to make people understand with this blog…and we try to do it by making people interested in writing for pleasure. The reason I write about this, is an email-ad that I received yesterday. It is not in English and that is why there will be no link to that particular website. It [...]
I recently received a box filled with photos from my deceased father – and that caused me to write this post. None of those photos had any information attached and many thus became completely worthless to me and anyone else looking at them. Who were those people? When and where were the photos taken? What was [...]
I have added posts a little at will, mainly in order to make sure that the blog is updated regularly by the search engines - I have learned that it is considered important to do so… and I am still learning this blogging business. However, it is necessary for me to focus on what this blog shall cover. [...]
I have had some unexpected problems when trying to use my Credit Card to pay for online purchases. None of which did go through and no information as to why. The company I tried to buy from simply stated that the payment had been refused by the credit card company – no reason for this [...]

In his mail he stated “…I’m all for ANY type of writing that brings in income, so long as it’s not morally or ethically offensive.” and this got ME thinking. “Ethically offensive” I agree with, and I would [...]
Came across a very interesting article thanks to a “twitter friend” (@reliability) regarding the usefulness of hemp. A quote from the article explain “”The question is why we in Africa have continued to allow a hypocritical, unworkable and expensive prohibition against recreational use of this plant, to continue denying us all of its other benefits?” [...]
The lunar New Year celebration is ongoing and it have reminded me on how the Chinese astrology almost put an end to my marriage before it even had a chance to start. My little wifey is born in the year of the Tiger, and I am borne in the year of the “Chicken”. Of course that raised [...]
On a recent trip I was approached by a young man who – seeing my white hair – decided that I was a prime prospect for buying his “genuine” Viagra tablets. I did say a polite no, but that didn’t stop him, and when I got tired of his persistent sales pitch I told him [...]
