What's the best way to handle an interfering mother-in-law?

I've been married for seven months and I feel I am more married to my mother-in-law than my husband. She is relentless with her criticism and constantly questions everything I do. She doesn't live with my husband and I (she lives in the main building) but she has a key to our house and lets herself in all the time. Her attitude is beginning to affect my health. Help!

Linda says...people will treat you the way you let them treat you.

Sex Workers In Ghana Protest Against Nigerian Invasion

Ghanaian girls who offer sex for money at Adum, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti region, have expressed anger over some Nigerians importing younger and prettier girls who are gradually taking over the sex business.

If not for the intervention of the assembly member for the area, Albert Osei-Banahene, the enraged sex workers would have hit the streets in their nakedness and marched from one office building to another, just to get the authorities to come to their aide.

LOL! Sex business is serious business oh!

Okadas in Lagos

Drivers of motorcycle taxis wait for passengers on a sidewalk along the outer marina road in Lagos August 31, 2010. Nigeria's commercial hub Lagos is trying to bring order to hundreds of thousands of chaotic motorcycle taxis, banning them from major roads and from carrying pregnant women or riding on the pavement. The bikes, known as "okadas", swarm like mosquitoes around sub-Saharan Africa's most populous city, swerving to avoid bribe-hungry traffic police, often mounting the kerb and frequently carrying entire families on their tired frames. - Reuters.

Happy new month!

You better get to living life to the fullest
You better get to giving all you have to those who deserve it.
And don't forget to throw in a little forgiving to those who hurt you and loving those who love you.
You better get to knowing and showing a little bit more concern about where you're going in life.
You better don't sweat the small stuff and keep your chin up when times are tough
And if it gets too rough, fall on your knees and pray.


Happy new month.

Heavy Drinkers Outlive Nondrinkers, Study Finds

One of the most contentious issues in the vast literature about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink actually tend to die sooner than those who do. The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is that many of those who show up as abstainers in such research are actually former hard-core drunks who had already incurred health problems associated with drinking.

But a new paper in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research suggests that - for reasons that aren't entirely clear - abstaining from alcohol does actually tend to increase one's risk of dying even when you exclude former drinkers. The most shocking part? Abstainers' mortality rates are higher than those of heavy drinkers.

What kind of 'study' finds that heavy drinkers outlive non drinkers? These researchers have fall my hand o...:-)

"I'm not Weird MC's lesbian partner" Goldie

Goldie and Weird MC

"I heard the rumor too. I found it very amusing and very sad. I appreciate strong women. Women who have been through trying times and have pulled through and forged ahead. I look up to such women. In our industry, Weird MC is one of such women. In a male dominated industry, she managed to carve a niche for herself. I moved closer to her because I wanted to tap from her. I regret that our friendship was trivialized." Goldie addresses the lesbian rumour trailing her and Weird MC

Source: Encomium Magazine

I don't know about her sexual preference but I do know that Weird MC is one of the nicest, most humble people I've ever met. Very unassuming and down to earth.
Loves her!!!
