Recognizing the changed part is tricky though. There are people who seem to genuinely change and then relapse into old behaviors despite seeming to be on a good streak. I don't like to take chances with that but unless you become totally antisocial, you can't always avoid it. It's difficult for...
Man right here in Trinidad I was almost assaulted by someone more than twice my size in an area filled with activity and noise from men and young boys. What did they all do (every. single. one.) when they saw an ogre of a man leering over and ready to strike a woman with an infant in her arms...
Hold up a second. Beggars do not always equal unemployed, under-educated people. (Where are my math signs when I need them?) Unemployed and/or under-educated people are not all passing up employment and education opportunities looking for quick cash or to opt for begging. You guys are sounding...
At what point does a person's good actions outweigh their bad ones?
Consider the following:
"Forgiveness" is a pretty big deal in our society: when someone wrongs you, you should forgive them. People who admit to doing wrong are told to pray for forgiveness or hope those they have hurt will...
True. I heard from someone that it is a normal scene for regular average non-criminal people to hire criminals to target their own friends and family or sometimes people they fall out with, so it's not strangers alone you have to be mindful of.
I make my own chicken and veggie stock and keep it in the freezer, already seasoned so from me:
Egg Drop Soup
2-3 cups of stock
1 cup of water (optional)
as much veggies as you like (I use about 2-3 cups of frozen peas, carrots, corn etc)
1-2 beaten eggs
1. Combine first 3 ingredients (i.e...
I would rather people beg than turn to crime if they cannot find employment or get approved for disability grants etc but that does not mean you have to be so bold. I am more inclined to give people that ask respectfully and keep their distance than someone coming up in my face demanding...
The child was from an abusive home FWIW. These days it's like everybody and their dog can curse, it's just shocking to many people to hear it and wise to use the language at your discretion.
I've experienced this as well. The worst was someone coming up to me eating and putting their hand to take. Actually had people back in school grab my food and run with it! Idk how people could be so, especially when they act like something's wrong with you when you have a problem with what...
OMG this was supposed to help, not make me hungrier! lol I had egg drop soup today actually lol
My cereal go-to is frosted flakes (because sugar!) and soy milk
I just ate kiss cake and Bobbies and I feel terrible. Also guilty. Like a tiny bit. But the gremlin has been fed.
LadyD I love your...
When I speak to people, including children, I flip around gender stereotypes often and sometimes speak in genderless terms. I've met too many people that hide their identities because they have homophobic families or live in homophobic communities etc. We live in times where best friends, close...
Looks like we have to walk around recording everything for proof of these events though. It is such a popular thing and is often swept under the rug. I hope they don't hush this and gloss it over.
Dude no lie....I know people who voted for the party that paved the road in front by them and were not up to date on politics. They just asked who paved the road and went and voted lol There are also Trinis that live, work, and/or study abroad and come back just to vote and then fly out. They're...
I sometimes (okay, a lot of times) wake up in the middle of the night to refuel. I usually head straight for something with sugar and/or carbs and my gremlin food brain takes over until I'm satisfied enough to go back to bed.
What are your top midnight snacks?
I woke up with an insatiable...
I recently came across this article about a Trini born transgender actress in the U.S. who spoke out about LGBTQIA+ being discriminated against and underrepresented. I am aware of this but was particularly shocked to learn that trans actors are rejected for the parts of trans characters, and cis...
I'm kind of guilty of this. I've used obscenities as part of my verbal repertoire for most of my life. It's not a matter of cursing to have a good time, it just feels comfortable and sometimes I run out of adjectives and need something more comfortable to emphasize what I'm talking about lol. I...
