Where is a good place to meet the opposite sex? Hmm… well, from the experience of those whom I know, it would seem that a good place to meet the opposite sex is…

• at school, college or university
• at work
• in Church
• at a pub
• on the internet (have to be careful with this one though)
• I don’t know any more good meeting places. You tell me.

Just within my family, I know of 3 school sweethearts, 3 workplace romances and I pub meeting, thats me. I met hubby at the pub. His friends often laugh in amazement when he tells them that he met me at the pub. Why not? Good girls cannot go to pub meh? I think in their minds, only notty girls go to pub, and not Ms Boring Goody Two Shoes like this one. Lol!

I am a good girl (konon) but I used to go to the pub a lot (in my 20s to 30s). Every weekend and sometimes weekdays too with my girlfriends. I wonder how we still could work the next day. Ah… when you’re young you have lots of energy. Used to drive home alone sometimes at 3am in the morning. Very dangerous behaviour. I wouldn’t dare now but I thought nothing of it then. Sometimes we took turns to drive but usually we drive there and home separately.

Ok, sorry, I digressed. So, where do you think is a good place to meet the opposite sex or where did you meet your spouse if you’re married? Care to share?

No. No. I’ve not started yet another blog. Hehe. However, I do think its a good idea to write and maintain a home security blog. Well, actually the blog I’m talking about not only covers home security, it includes articles on home safety as well.

In it, you’ll find articles or blog posts on home security alarms, home surveillance and monitoring, computer security, vehicle security etc. These are the security categories. On the home safety aspect, you’ll find articles on ladder safety, smoke detectors, wall plug safety, lawn equipment safety etc.

My husband is constantly searching for articles about home security on the net. So this is great. I shall email the url for him to read. He just loves articles on this aspect of taking care of our home. Well, I shall let him concentrate on this area ie home safety and security, while I take care of decorating and beautifying the home.

Well lets see…

• My symptoms came on suddenly
• I feel feverish
• I don’t have a runny nose
• I have a slight sore throat
• I have a dry unproductive cough
• I feel very tired and fatigued
• I have bad body aches

According to this flu or cold symptoms chart, it looks like I’m having the flu. Baby had it first, then my girl, now me. Aarrgh! I hate this merry go round of sickness. Happens all the time. Next time someone gets sick in the house, I must quarantine them.

All the articles I read say that you don’t need antibiotics for a cold or flu and yet everytime I see the doc when I have a cold or a flu, the doc would prescribe antibiotics. Hmmm…. so how? To take or not to take?

What are little girls made of? What are little girls made of? Sugar and Spice and everything nice! Thats what little girls are made of.

What are little boys made of? What are little boys made of? Snips and Snails and puppy dog’s tails! Thats what little boys are made of.

Now for my version……….

What are women made of? What are women made of Diamonds and Deserts and everything delightful! Thats what women are made of.

What are men made of? What are men made of? Dragons and Daggers and Durian Odour! Thats what men are made of.

Women, do you agree with me? Hehe. The original rhyme uses “S” descriptive words. I used “D”. So can you think of any more “D” words to describe men and women?

I haven’t written a rhyme in a long time so that one is to cheer up my blue Monday morning. I have an achy body and a fiery throat this fine Monday morning. Bleargh!

Internet technology has made it possible to chat with virtually any person anywhere in the world about anything. The first time I came across a chat room was when my computer savvy brother showed me what it was all about on his PC. Now this brother of mine loves to tell jokes and he finally found people (lots of people) to “listen” to his jokes in a chat room.

I suppose in that sense, online chat rooms can be a good thing. It would be fun to talk to others with similiar interests and hobbies. You won’t need to bore anyone else with your detailed description about your latest video game interest. You can talk with music lovers and sports enthusiasts and in the process get to know lots of other people with similiar interest.

That is the good part. However, the negative part is the use of chat rooms for cybersex or computer love. I think that children or teens should be coached and educated about the dangers of chat rooms in this aspect and parents should always monitor their children’s use of not just chat rooms but the internet on the whole. Watch out for signs like too much time on the pc, secretive behaviour like trying to hide the screen away or chatting in the wee hours of the morning. If they chat in chat rooms, make sure it is a well moderated one with strict rules.

So are online chat rooms a good thing? I’m not sure. I think it could be fun but one must be fully aware of the dangers too.
