*M*  says that quote was too easy and apart her nobody else knew who the quote was from. It's a Tracy Chapman. Songs are too easy anyway, I have another idea. A great one.

 lol!I guess my “monstromeme” as Heather calls it, saturated you all. And since I haven't been posting much lately this “littlun” is giving me a good excuse to put my what-am-supposed-to-be-doing-at-this-moment-tasks aside.

Before I start my meme, here a compet. I want you to tell me who sings:

“Don't be tempted by the shiny apple

Don't you eat of a bitter fruit

Hunger only for a taste of justice

Hunger only for a world of truth

'Cause all that you have is your soul”

"Today, it is all about GIVING THANKS.

How can we thank our fellow BLOGGERS? 

We read each other, we help each other with our designs and templates, and we cry on each other’s shoulder when a "blog crush" goes sour.

On Thanskgiving, we should THANK our fellow bloggers.

When I first started blogging, I was like a Pilgrim who just landed on Plymouth Rock.  I was isolated and alone.   For weeks, I wrote this blog without any direction or confidence in my ability.  And then he appeared — like the Native American with his corn — my first commenter!"

On Thursdays the MBC - Mauritius Braodcasting corporation - spares us Hindi movies. At least on Channel 3. The Hindi movie is still run, but on MBC 1. On MBC 2 they give you at least 4 time reruns of the same movie every year. This Thursday was the second rerun for Edwards Scissor Hands. I like the movie but there was better on Channel 3. My favourite émission. ça se discute. It literally means "It is discussed." It's a French Program.

Does enjoying this program tell something about me? Am starting to wonder. It's such a sad program really. The themes are almost never fun. Children with incurable diseases. Suicide. Murder. Always tragic and sad. This week's too was no different. Family problems were discussed. All families have problems you'll tell me. I know. Still it was really painful listening to what some of the invités had to say.

There was this 15years old girl who had a lot to say about her father. she does neither consider nor think of him as her father. She does not call him Daddy, Dad, Papa. She doesn't call him at all since they do not speak to each other. When talking about him she says "the genitor". She says she doesn't hate him. No. She just does not feel anything for him. that's indifference and believe me, its worst that hate. The father seems to feel the same too about her. Or is it not feel instead?...

She says the genitor never ever held her, never kissed her, never hugged her, never talked to her. as far as she can recall. The mother is sitting next to her and quietly nods from time to time. She's contemplating divorce, the mother. She says hubby is never gonna change. When asked whether the situation has been going on for long, how long she'd been married and how come she stayed with hubby, she said it's been going on for too long. She's been married 17 years and she always had the hope that things would eventually change and that she'd just e in denial. Now she's leaving with her daughters. Yes, she has two girls. But Dad is fine with the younger one. The mother says its ironic because her elder daughter is so much like the father. same height, same coloring, same passions, same everything. I personally don't know but maybe that's where the problems lays, what do you say?

The mother narrates an anecdote. She and the kids went to her parents for a couple of weeks. The father was there at la gare de train to pick them up. He nodded at the mother, kissed the little girl and proceed. The elder daughter might as well have not existed. I almost cried. There's nothing as bad as being royally ignored like that and be looked through.

Another guy told the audience about how he'd had DNA tests conducted to find out whether BOTH his parents, were actually his parents. He felt unrelated to them.

Such thinks make you think. they make you grateful for your family. make you grateful for each smile exchanged. They make you realise how much you've come to take your family's love for granted. They make you appreciate the family in question. They make you think about voicing out your feelings and telling your loved ones how much they mean to you. They make you strong enough to show your need for them.

 And what is fear of need but need itself?

Is not dread of thirst when your well is full, the thirst that is unquenchable?

(Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet)

 A family is all about loving and fightingand making up and fighting and making up and loving. there are six of us. Four sisters and two rothers. Fight we do. Always. it's fun. And when it'll rain someday, I'll be assured that someone will be there to stand the rain with me.

My recent coup de coeur is for Neil's blog. Heather, thanks a lot. I enjoyed his Too Skinny post tremendously. Reading it finally made realize how much I love me. :-) The curves, the fat, the round cheeks, the Bee-hind (hehehe!) I love it all!

Here's MOI!

BTW, everybody go check Neil's last post. He has a certain problem in the bedroom department. ;-)

Suley, no one would play xylophone on MY chest!

Bon Week end!

I've been really busy lately. No time to post anything really intelligent.

Check out this blog. Free dietician advices for anyone interested.

BTW Neela, I can't comment on your posts because I don't have a blogspot account. It says it does not recognise anonymous comments or something of that sort.

Do you know anything about the Scarsdale Diet? Deficiencies it may cause?

Am reading Michael Crichton. Suley , Great Saphenous  , am sure you guys are going to love this one. It's called Timeline. I've just started it and am enjoying it lots. I don't think its J*'s   sort of litterature, mais ont ne sait jamais......

That's all for today folks!

I visited my favourite site today. It's been a while. Its one of those rare always-brings-smile-to-your-face-full-of-real-jokes-sites.

I had a coup de coeur for the diet jokes. Am on diet. Been a week now and no,I  don't know how much I've lost. Not yet. I don't want to end up discouraged when getting on the balance. I'll weight myself in another week time.

I think its psychological with me. I don't always feel overweight and I just have to start dieting to feel thinner. Why is that? Psychological.... My sister loses weight so quick its a sin. *Sigh* And like I've mentionned somewhere, I hate grapefruit in the morning. I had 1/2 a grapefruit this morning. The diet said I should.

According to a weight chart I read, I must weigh around 20kgs less. I believe, I'd disappear if I ever do. But maybe I should forget the diet and just follow this rule: "There's only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people." *Sigh*

Building Your Shoulder Muscles – Secret Weightlifting Program
This weightlifting program will have you lifting 50-LB weights in weeks!

For those of us getting along in years, here is a little secret for building your arm and shoulder muscles.

You might want to adopt this 3 days a week. This is for older people. Younger people try it at their own risk. This is working well for me.

Begin by standing straight, with a 5-LB. potato sack in each hand. Extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute. Relax.

After a few weeks, move up to 10-LB. potato sacks, and then 20-LB.potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 50-LB. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight out for more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level, start putting a couple of potatoes in the bags...

Library’s No-Return Policy

A man goes into a library and asks for a book on suicide.
The librarian says, “Get lost! You won’t bring it back.” :-)

There's alot more from where the jokes come from.

The great Muslim poet Jalal al-Din Rumi sang about Ramadan in the 13th century AD (translation by A.J. Arberry):

"The month of fasting has come, the emperor's banner has arrived; withhold your hand from food, the spirit's table has arrived.

The soul has escaped from separation and bound nature's hands; the heart of error is defeated, the army of faith has arrived.

Fasting is our sacrifice, it is the life of our soul; let us sacrifice all our body, since the soul has arrived as guest.

Fortitude is as a sweet cloud, wisdom rains from it, because it was in such a month of fortitude that the Koran arrived.

...Wash your hands and your mouth, neither eat nor speak; seek that speech and that morsel which has come to the silent ones."

To mark the end of Ramadan, the fasting month, we celebrate. Eid Ul Fitr which litterally means the Festival of the Breaking of Fast.

I'll thus be reading you guys next monday... This is going to be very very hard.... Shall miss you all....
