THE HOUSE THAT FORGOT HOW TO LAUGH

-
 There was no love missing in our house, because there was no love left to miss.That was our secret. We were not sad. Sad would have been easier.In House 24, 2nd Street, Germiston - the Molefes were perfect.6:00 AM - Alarm. 6:15 AM - Mom in the kitchen. The sound of the spoon against the pot. Same pot. Same porridge. Every day for 7 years. 6:30 AM - Dad at the table. Phone brightness on his face. He nods at Mom. Mom nods back. That's their good morning. 6:45 AM - Me and Junior. We eat with the TV on mute. Mom says TV at breakfast rots your brain, so we watch the pictures move with no sound.No one shouts. No one throws plates. Our neighbors who scream at each other at night - they have more life than us.We just... live. We pay. We eat. We sleep. We repeat.Then Mrs. Khumalo gave us the project."Grade 4s, for Life Skills this week: Record 10 moments your family laughed together."I took my pink notebook home like it was gold.DAY 1 - Monday I wrote the date and waited.

Brits barking up wrong tree hounding pregnant Meghan

Brits barking up wrong tree hounding pregnant Meghan

Why is Britain acting like an evil mother-in-law from a classic Nollywood movie?
Poor Meghan Markle has to be the most emotionally abused makoti we have seen in recent times and it doesn't seem like it will end any time soon.
The former actress has been unfortunate enough to have to perform her high-profile makoti duties on the world stage with the majority of the British media and racist conservatives just waiting in glee hoping that she falls on her face.
The British media's criticism of her sounds eerily similar to what a character played by Nigerian actress Patience Ozokwor would say to her children's wives out of spite.
They are never happy, whether it is her clothes, her nail polish, her pregnancy or estranged family's behaviour.
We, unfortunately, also have sad characters in the mix such as Katie Hopkins who comes across as the clichéd evil relative who tries to cause commotion and make ugly comparisons between the two makotis in the royal house: Meghan and Kate Middleton.
This could be an award-winning Nigerian movie in the making.
When I read about Meghan being blamed for Prince Harry's receding hairline I couldn't help but think this sounds familiar.
How many women have been blamed by their husband's mothers or families for any changes in their sons' physical appearance?
"You're not feeding him properly! That's why my bouncing baby boy is losing so much weight! That's why he's losing his hair!"
Dear British media.
Has it occurred to you that the Prince may be losing his hair due to the amount of stress your bullying of his pregnant wife is causing him? Or have you not thought that his hair loss could be genetic? With that combination of biology and stress, is it not really a miracle that he still has some of it left?

UK backlash at Meghan's lavish US baby shower

Meghan Markle has been drawing criticism for her baby shower that was held in New York City.

There is also an obsession over their finances. Even though Meghan's good friend Serena Williams paid for her baby shower, there is still criticism floating around about how excessive it was. Bathong, your son Harry didn't spend a cent on it, please relax.
It's very annoying that the British media acts as if Meghan is not a success in her own right or doesn't have any money of her own. Please don't bore us.
Another ridiculous criticism of the duchess is that she holds her baby bump. Apparently it's because she's showing off her pregnancy and forcing it into our faces.
Even the late Princess Diana didn't have to face so much ridiculousness.
But, let's be honest about the elephant in the room.
The British media and British conservatives are overly critical and hateful of Meghan because she has black blood and has stolen Kate's shine.
How dare she win the heart of a royal? How dare she be beautiful? How dare she be older than him? How dare she be loved by many? How dare she be a famous actress who is arguably more fascinating than the royals?
Well, dear Britain, it's too bad because Meghan is not going anywhere.
I also believe that Britain has far more important issues to focus on than harassing a new bride and soon-to-be mother. The Brexit crisis perhaps? Just a thought.

This New Ultralight Aircraft May Be World’s Fastest Single-Engine Business Jet

  The speedy LAR-01's automotive interior adds comfort and luxury. Plus: The wings detach, so the jet can be stored in a home garage. By  MICHAEL VERDON           Courtesy Flaris The  Flaris  LAR-01 has a number of striking stats, including being a ton lighter (literally) than its competitors, along with an unusually short-field landing capability, and detachable wings. But its most impressive number is the 250-knot true air speed, which its designers say makes it the world’s fastest business jet among single-engine very light jets and turboprop aircraft. Flaris says recent tests “confirmed the assumptions made previously” about the effectiveness of multiple systems, including its Garmin G600 avionics and Flaris Flight Assistance System flight computer, as well as the landing gear and emergency parachute system. But it also claims more impressive stats like the 250-knot TSA at 10,000 feet. Its 6,000-feet-per-minute climb rate, adds the compan...

800 HP Bronze Lamborghini Urus With Mansory Carbon Kit Is Worth $500,000

  Home   >   News   >   Tuning The Lamborghini Urus is easily the most famous performance SUV in the world, but it's not peerless. German twin-turbo SUVs have begun to give it some trouble. While the Italians still don't offer any performance gains, you can always drop  $500,000 on a tuned version.  9 photos This is the  Lamborghini Urus P820 Venatus by Mansory.  Even though the internet has almost unanimously decided it's ugly, we counted at least four others that must have been sold already. If your target is to confirm you've got way too much money to spend, it really gets the message across. The highlight of this particular build is the  Bronzo Zenas  paint finish, which is synonymous with another expensive Lamborghini, the Aventador SVJ Roadster, which presented this particular metallic shade at its Geneva 2019 debut. And while the Urus usually makes "only" 640 horsepower, this thing is more than a match for the SVJ (770 ...

Guns in wrong hands SA Mass Killings

-
 When people talk about “guns in the wrong hands,” they usually mean the risks that come up when firearms are accessed or used by people who are likely to cause harm—intentionally or accidentally. Here’s a clear, high-level way to look at it: Why it’s a problem Increased violence: Guns make conflicts far more deadly when used in crimes or impulsive situations. Accidents: Unsecured firearms can lead to accidental injuries, especially involving kids or teens. Suicide risk: Easy access to guns raises the danger during moments of crisis. Theft and trafficking: Poor storage can allow guns to be stolen and end up in criminal circulation. Common ways guns end up in the “wrong hands” Unsafe storage (unlocked, loaded, or accessible at home) Illegal sales or straw purchasing (someone buying a gun for another person) Theft from homes or cars Lack of training or oversight What helps reduce the risk Safe storage: Locked, unloaded, with ammunition stored separately. Education: Teaching ...
