The grass dat seems green on the other might actually be growing on a sewage,why do pple assume dat bussinessmen hav all da tym in da world? Unless u r into money printing,most of em dont! The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated. ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Pretty Girl, What about love? Will you make the decision about who you marry based on what they do? Are you afraid of following your heart,being with the one whom you love in spite of the circumstances you find yourself in. To fight to make both your situations better because you love each other dearly. There are many who toil for other men you call them slaves,who will do anything and everything for the ones they love. The way they make a living is secondary. The ultimate measure is why. It is not whether your man can afford to wake up at 10 and go to work whenever he wants ask yourself if you can get a man who will wake up at 4am to walk 20 miles to work if he has to,to put a roof over your head,food on your table and a smile on your face because he loves you. Are you worthy of such love Pretty? Remember you are not the only who will be doing the choosing.

@ Those attacking Pretty • I have a feeling most of those who have attacked me have a problem with understanding what they read. • Sample what I said in the beginning ? “• I don’t have a spouse but wish (does not mean it must be) to be married to a business-man. ? • I don’t admire (Not hate) men who work for other men (In other words,most likely,I’ll end up with an employed husband or job seeker). ? • But you may ask,if all men are self employed,who would work for them? (A fact that some men must work for others) ? • You see,if you don’t have an answer to this one,then,you are an employee somewhere,a slave (Most of you in SK are employees and that’s why you don’t want to be called a slave. A cow is a cow is a cow from whatever angle you look at it). ? • By the way,what is the most ideal job for your partner? (What you would wish for your partner for convenience sake or prestige or etc. I would wish my husband was a watchman so that he is at home during the day with the kids while am home at night. Our kids thus get 24 seven surveillance from their parents)” • So,guys,convince me that am not dealing with BFN species. • TTT,you were registered yesterday,welcome to the B. • How many of you are at work right now. I get to the office before Seven. • @ Simmion• It won't hurt meeting you. • It saves you hell if you treat new acquaintances as enemies consistently until each proves otherwise or confirms - Jsanchiazh. >>>>>> A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; It will never pass into nothingness; But still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. - Keats
>>>>>>>In life,there are three classes of people, 1. Those who make things happen, 2. Those who watch things happen 3. And those who ask what happened.
Where do you fall?

@Pretty
I love following your threads or your posts,if not for anything else,but for the fact that you portray a true youth testing the world in the midst of experienced lot. This makes me understand where you are coming from even though i may not necessarily agree with you. I love your inquisitiveness.
When you are older,you will actually realise that the 'ideal' only works at your age or thereabouts. The fact that you are in this forum,that 'ideal' will actually run out of your mind faster than your agemates who are out there and probably just interract with their fellow agemates because they will dream on without anyone putting the records straight.
you see,the reason why you may feel that others are 'attacking' you is because they have moved from that stage of life where one idealises life and 'ideal' doesnt make sense to them anymore... Its got to be reality,got to make sense and nothing else. So when you feel like they are hard on you,try to think at their level,they have a point and actually a big point. they do not want to mould your 'ideals' you know why? not because they are bitter with their lives,not because they envy you,not because they regret anything in their lives,BUT its because they know the REALITY and REALITY is no where close or closely related to ideal and they do not have time to idealise things but are busy making their dreams come true which of course,aint always a smooth ride. Dont take offense or be defensive rather ask why they think or believe what they do - this will help you learn from their experiences. While you are still at that age,dream on,idealise the world,keep the spirit of adventure alive,enjoy your life because its the way to learn and its the only chance you have until REALITY sets in... when you are older,you will understand every sentense the posters have put up. Most importantly,change your attitude - its rude to say 'a man working for another woman's man' bla bla bla... its plainly disrespectiful because there is nothing to be ashamed of being employed and having a lady boss for that matter.
I forgot to tell you,never feel shy to put your thots up - you only need to choose your words,dont feel intimidated,learn from the posters if there is something to learn,dont take offense,ask,ask,ask as many life questions as you can and life is worth living.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

@ Wendz ? Mum,you blow my mind. ? Your man working for another woman’s man!!!,that’s a good one if I said that. ? There are those who make things happen,those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. The future is ours. • It saves you hell if you treat new acquaintances as enemies consistently until each proves otherwise or confirms - Jsanchiazh. >>>>>> A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; It will never pass into nothingness; But still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. - Keats

@Pretty
You seem to suggest i made that one up....
Now,dont even make me think you dotn know what you are posting.... Remember this - • Why would my husband(man) leave early in the morning in order to go and work for another woman’s man? Excuse me Lyanne! • My husband should leave home when he wants.
You know the reason why i said it? Because,and this is just an example,that lady,Lyanne,you were asking to excuse you in this context,is an enterprenuer running her own businesses - now,how about her being your husband's boss some day? Or may be even yours? that's the reason i said respect should never be forgotten when dealing with people even in a public forum such as this.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

@ Wendz v Mum,I did not refuse. Read my post again from a fresh angle. This is where literature comes in. How it sounds in your brain determines how your brain interprets it. v Incidentally,I have a photoclomatic memory. I was only emphasizing that if I had mentioned it earlier,it was a good one. Is my grammar a little bit off the curve or am loosing it. I was the best in grammar at State House girls for all the four years I was there unless they made me believe so (Please,let’s not revisit my old school). v Wendz,you are great,actually the greatest. You never lose your cool,you never argue and I won’t use the word ‘but’ on this same line. Get the drift. v And yet,there are those who spend all their lives working for others. v In America,a man will leave school,work for a couple of years,then go into private practice or start a company,develop it and go public or sell it to a competitor/investor thereby raking in billions. He then sets aside three quarters of the amount in blue chip companies and spends the floating quarter touring the world with his wife and kids on a Cruise Ship. That is what life is all about. Anything else is surviving,wondering what happened and refusing to retire even when its time. When you are forced to retire,you go to your rural home,start fighting over scarce land and within months,you are six feet under. Wendz,give me a break,and yet I like you. • It saves you hell if you treat new acquaintances as enemies consistently until each proves otherwise or confirms - Jsanchiazh. >>>>>> A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; It will never pass into nothingness; But still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. - Keats

reading what Wendz wrote and the response from Pretty all I can say is that,in this case,youthfulness has just got to be let be. its a phase and it too will pass.

@pretty, I agree with you on your last post. Kenyans (not hating) fear taking risks,lack initiative and become comfortable in employment which usually end up in disgraceful discharge (retirement) and most don't know what to do thereafter. Going to shags is not an option for most either. Luckily the current generation is of ambitious,risk taking go getters. You'll find most employed guys have a side business/businesses so it's not all doom. But that said,marry for love and not for possessions else you'll become one of the items in his possessions.
Bright and interesting people talk about ideas. Those of average intelligence talk about things. Stupid people talk about other people.

This thread is hot. They don't come any hotter. I have to contribute @Pretty What exactly do you do for a living? Are you still living with your parents? You blew my mind. I have been tracking you like Wendz with a telescope. Are you a concern to your parents? I mean,if you were my daughter,I would not mind,but not a wife or my boss. @Wendz Keep them coming. You have not stopped Pretty yet. @Mtaalam You are making a lot of sense. They walk among us,and they reproduce.

I all along gave Pretty the benefit of doubt until that piece on Americans and then realised,as Mpenzi says,its just a phase.

Slight digression (commercial break)
@surealligator - Any hope of you cascading that juicy Equity dossier you were hawking sometime back before you went into hibernation for a while? Unajua watu hapa hawasahau.
And now back to the topic...

@ Adept Good memory. You must have a photographic memory unlike Pretty who has something else. The dossier has expired,it is history now. When another one comes,I will send you if not post it here. But this time,I will be careful cauze the last time,they picked me up,grilled the hell out of me and only my rear end knows what I went through. But remember they gave the div and split I had information on. I will have to change names when I post sensitive stuff here. They walk among us,and they reproduce.
