FLAUNT YOUR LEISURE

Leisure is highly therapeutic to the human psychic and well-being. Aside from many not creating personal schedules or moments for relaxation, some persons have been saddled with leisure as a necessary routine for mankind. Yet we have some others who are living in ignorance about the essence and various ways of self-relaxation.

DATE-LINE BLUES: The First Idol

Submitted into Contest #188 Tom Bombadil writes about a character who’s attending a dinner thrown in their honor, but deeply embarrasses themself during their speech.... view prompt 

“Stop daydreaming Mr. Delano.”

In a moment, Mrs. Frampton, subjecting the tender wallflower of my affection to the grotesque spotlight of her own indifference, made cease the contemplation of my life’s own end, the one theme of my existence: Andrea Taylor.

It’s the Spring of 2005; I am a 7th grader at Fort Sumter Middle School, home of the Trojans. Andrea sits enthroned one row ahead, three columns to my right. I have mixed feelings about this, for while it affords me an almost uninterrupted view of her during second and fifth period, it also places her immediately adjacent to Kyle Schwimmer: another seventh grader, possessed of summit-less bicep peaks, which forces me to a fixed conclusion that he’s been injecting steroids intravenously since infancy, and whose hair, defying no less than two laws of thermodynamics, I am sure, manages to appear wet and shiny hours after we all have a just expectation that it should be dry. I despise Kyle Schwimmer.

Andrea herself, ah! Andrea, crowned with brown tresses, and bangs; layered alternately and Kevlar-like in Abercrombie and Hollister tank tops; floating on a cloud of all-white Etnies; and tastefully adorned in torn and acid-washed denim: if Helen, Esther, Cleopatra, Meghan Fox herself stood before me, they could, collectively, aspire to light but a Yankee-candle of affection before the blast furnace that is my love for Andrea Taylor.

KOTANSIBE - and the story comes to an end

                                         TANKO

This village will rise again. This village will once again taste good life, a life of comfort and plenty, so says the gods. (While Townspeople now begin to rejoice, Tanko zeroes in on Chinedu, and shrieks, everyone remains quiet). But then, on the condition that (pointing at chinedu) he is appointed to manage the farms, so says the gods. (there is jubilation in the air). 

NARRATOR

Please, ask the gods, who should be king of this village since the former has gone to join his ancestors. (he does so, once again casting his strings of divination).

TANKO

(looks into the crowd, zeroes in on Jibola)

Chief Jibola! You are the chosen one.

Other chiefs come forward and invest Jibola in royal robes and crown while Townspeople dance round him, paying homage.

ROYAL BARD

Kabiyesi, you’ll last long to rule us. Kolanut lasts long in the mouths of them who value it.

Heavy bata drumming materialises and ROYAL BARD dance off to the rhythm. Suddenly, lighting (the gods) strikes Tanko dead, everyone watches motionlessly, gapping, stunned.

Narrator turns to look at the corpse, shakes his head slowly, starts away.

Does owning property make you more attractive when dating?

As someone out on the dating frontline with a wishlist for your future partner, owning a home may not be something you immediately think to add amongst tall, funny, loyal and caring. However, research by CIA Landlord Insurance has shown that owning your own property does in fact make you more attractive!

The study revealed that men who own property are 57% more likely to get a match on Tinder than men who were not on the property ladder. And while women on Tinder receive an average of 60% more likes than men, women who own property further increased this percentage. Female property owners also receive 7% more matches than women who don’t own their own house.

Taking the stigma out of adult toy shops

When most people think of adult toy shops, the first thing that comes to mind is a seedy store filled with sleazy-looking people. However, this stereotype could not be further from the truth! Adult toy shops are becoming increasingly popular, offering various products for people of all ages and interests.

So if you're curious about adult toys, don't be afraid to check out your local shop!

What are adult toy shops, and what do they sell?

Adult toy shops are stores that sell products designed to enhance sexual pleasure. These can include vibrators, dildos, bondage equipment, and lubricants. Many adult toy shops also sell DVDs and other media featuring adult content.

Some stores may focus on a particular niche, such as BDSM or gay and lesbian customers, while others may carry a wide range of products. In recent years, the popularity of adult toy shops has grown substantially, as more people are becoming comfortable discussing and exploring their sexuality. This trend will likely continue as taboos surrounding sex continue to break down.

Catch-Up: Habib Yoghurt

According to Wikipedia, Yogurt is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. Hence, yoghurt is regarded as a “milk food”. The bacteria used to make yogurt are known as yogurt cultures. Fermentation of sugars in the milk by these bacteria produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt its texture and characteristic tart flavour. Cow's milk is the milk most commonly used to make yogurt. Milk from water buffalo, goats, ewes, mares, camels, and yaks are also used to produce yogurt. Cow’s milk is used in the United States and north-central Europe; sheep’s and goat’s milk are preferred in Turkey and south-eastern Europe; milk from the water buffalo is most commonly used in Egypt and India. Yogurt may also be produced from non-dairy products.
