What is wrong with Monday ?
Please, tell me why I don't like Mondays. It's only 7:30 AM, and I am already melancholy. I just figured out some chick who I thought was just a nice girl who liked to to chat online, has been working me hard for a couple of weeks, trying to set up one of those financial scams. You know the one, "I've got money in some mysterious bank accout, somewhere, I need your help to get it. Can you help me, please?" I am so naive, I gotta stop that. She finally got around to it. Worked me, set me up for weeks! B**h! Probably wasn't even a girl, it was some hairy guy in Kuala Lumpur, who posted a pretty picture. Darn! I should have seen that one coming, instead, I just stepped right in front of the bus, got out of the way just in time, though. Like ,I said, I am so naive. If people do not stop messing with my mind, playing with my emotions, I am just going to stop associating with anybody! I swear to God, I am tired of it. And, I'm not being paranoid. Well, maybe a little, it just pisses me off. I am not sure I'd call it punk, but it was a song. Boomtown Rats, I believe. I do get out in public, meet people, face to face. One of those just tore me up recently too. I am just way too easy, that's the problem. Gotta get tough! Not cynical. I love humanity. Just have to be careful.

Tell me why I don't like Mondays. Wasn't that a punk rock song? lol Yes, your situation does suck...but you're not the only person this has happened to. When one is lonely, they can be extremely vulnerable. I had something similar happen four years ago. A guy from England whom I met at a US/UK romance website was pretty much pretending to be my friend, that he wanted something "more." and even though I was 43, and college educated, I was STILL dumb enough to believe it. With each email and IM, he let me build up a bunch of hopes, dreams, fantasies...and I told him things I had never shared with anyone else. He even went so far as to talk about the possibility of marriage (and when you're a woman over 40 that's not something to be trifled with). I broke up with a guy I had been dating three years because this other guy sounded so promising...and then one day suddenly without any warning he knocked me down viciously in one fall swoop. I had never had such a cruel, attacking and abusive parting email before or since. I was left feeling like I had gotten broadsided by a car or something! Even worse? After that, he disappeared off my MSN messenger, I couldn't reach him by phone or email. It was as if he had never existed! I found out later on that the guy was MARRIED and that he had attempted to scam several other women at that same website...all of us with the same fantasy that they were going to meet that smart, kind Englishman ala Hugh Grant and settle in a manor house somewhere in the countryside and live happily ever after with no worries. He "dumped" us all in the same way...basically when he was getting close to getting found out! Anyway, it was just terrible. I remember I was just devastated by this. I cried for weeks, lost weight, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep... and over what? A few romantic words and some empty promises on a screen and one phone call to a guy who had the WORST British accent I had ever heard! Why? Because it felt like a violation...almost a psychological rape of sorts. Maybe you're feeling that way about now? It would only be natural... Anyway, now I look back and think WTF were you thinking, girl? Yeah, because I let my guard down, I let this phantom lover "break my heart" but I'm so thankful that a lot worse didn't happen (like him stealing my money or identity). Yeah, Mr. "Wonderful" from Wiltshire pretty much wrote me a big fat reality check, that's for sure....the tear I shed at that time forced me to open my eyes and look at things differently...and I eventually realized that I was looking for happiness/love in all the wrong places...and not appreciating what I had right in my own backyard...and realizing that made all the difference in the world. but still this is not really about Mondays...or any other day of the week. It's about regaining trust in your fellow human beings, about how yow you plan to deal with your emotions ,and what attitude you'll choose to take...it's all about your attitude, trust me on that. You don't have to choose to let that one situation define your entire experience with humanity or let it leave you embittered. Consider it a hard lesson learned, then move on. (However, if I were you, I'd consider reporting this with your bank or the Federal Trade Commission FTC if they got any $$ from you) Why not look at it this way? Since the baggage has been removed, you now know know what doesn't work. You have a new opportunity here. If you really want to meet people, then shut off that computer and get out into your community and TALK to other people in real time. Take a class, do volunteer work, walk a dog...something other than just relying on stuff online. If you do meet others online, set some guidelines (like being in the same or a neighboring state wher you can take it into real time a lot faster)...in other words, think globally but DATE locally, that's the answer. That's what I did. Luckily, the guy had been dating took me back, and now we've been together 7 years and I've never been happier. No it's not a "movie" romance, but I've learned there's nothing more romantic than reality :) Hang in there, it will get better. Honest.
3 :
That would hurt. I think honesty and love are the foundations of happiness - and parts of society are not like that anymore. You have 2 choices as I see it - get bitter, or, believe in decency and hold out for it in your own life.
4 :
For one thing if there was no Monday we wouldnt have to put up with that doleful solomon grundy threnody would we. also tryin to escape the police when everyon has there Monday morning washin on the line and you keep gettin caughtup in it an they catchyou an drag you down the pokey an you end up in court next Monday mornin Thats whats wrong with it what times breakfast
5 :
i totally agrre w/ you! MONDAYS SUCK!
6 :
Who does likes Mondays? lol, Their the first day of the week which means you have to start your boring daily routine over again... as for the internet scam, if someone you don't know asks you for $ over the internet and they don't know you, just know it's some kind of scam. Hope it doesn't happen to you again..

If you can buy a round trip bus ticket from the airport to Down town KL, do. its almost 45 minutes away and the taxi fare is expensive. but they do have very nice buses that make the trip every hour or so and you can get a deal as part of your air ticket. even after you have purchased it. KL can be quite expensive but there is much you can do for small amounts of money. The butterfly and bird cages at the park are amazing. Temples and towers with great views etc. If you can get a rogue taxi he will make you a package deal. I found and Indian guy in the backpacker district and he made my trip. I ended up eating lunch with his family at a small restaurant they owned and it was fantastic. India is a different matter. it is generally much cheaper and has so many sights and things to do that I just can't list them. Again its a good idea to get a local driver for the day to show you around and be your protector. He will make sure you don't get taken while shopping and generally keep you safe. A rule of thumb. No matter how fancy the restaurant. If you cannot see their kitchen do not eat there. Some of the hotels kitchens are disgusting. When you decide to eat street food. Pick out a shop that has lots of people eating at it. the food will be fresher and safer. and you get to watch your food prepared so you know how clean the process is. With your travel and hotel costs covered... $2000 should be a very safe number and you don't have to spend it all of course. and remember that there are banks and ATM's in India and KL so you don't have to carry large amounts of money around. If you email me I will send along a list of things to remember for your trip, Just safety tips and tricks that I have learned in years of international travel. Aslocran@yahoo.com this is not a commercial thing. Just advice from a fellow traveler. You will have a blast. Do not decide to take the Waters at Varanasi. its a good way to be sick for the rest of your life. And if you get a chance go by the Bodi tree and get a fallen leaf or two off the ground. A great little present that is free for any people that you know that are into Indian religions. The Taj is pretty cool and the surrounding grounds are amazing. If you can go early in the morning you will do better and its usually clearer at that time making for better pictures. and get a bag that has a strap long enough to put around your neck. a little thought can save you lots of trouble. There are a couple of neat little book stores in Varanasi but I can't remember their names. You definitely need a good guide in this town, Have fun.

How many languages spoken in the world???? do you know friends
How many languages spoken in the world???? do you know friends??
The top 10 languages spoken in the world 10. French -- Number of speakers: 129 million Often called the most romantic language in the world, French is spoken in tons of countries, including Belgium, Canada, Rwanda, Cameroon, and Haiti. Oh, and France too. We're actually very lucky that French is so popular, because without it, we might have been stuck with Dutch Toast, Dutch Fries, and Dutch kissing (ew!). To say "hello" in French, say "Bonjour" (bone-JOOR). 9. Malay—Indonesian Number of speakers: 159 million Malay-Indonesian is spoken - surprise - in Malaysia and Indonesia. Actually, we kinda fudged the numbers on this one because there are many dialects of Malay, the most popular of which is Indonesian. But they're all pretty much based on the same root language, which makes it the ninth most-spoken in the world.Indonesia is a fascinating place; a nation made up of over 13,000 islands it is the sixth most populated country in the world. Malaysia borders on two of the larger parts of Indonesia (including the island of Borneo), and is mostly known for its capital city of Kuala Lumpur. To say "hello" in Indonesian, say "Selamat pagi" (se-LA-maht PA-gee). 8. Portuguese -- Number of speakers: 191 million Think of Portuguese as the little language that could. In the 12th Century, Portugal won its independence from Spain and expanded all over the world with the help of its famous explorers like Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry the Navigator. (Good thing Henry became a navigator . . . could you imagine if a guy named "Prince Henry the Navigator" became a florist?) Because Portugal got in so early on the exploring game, the language established itself all over the world, especially in Brazil (where it's the national language), Macau, Angola, Venezuela, and Mozambique. To say "hello" in Portuguese, say "Bom dia" (bohn DEE-ah). 7. Bengali -- Number of speakers: 211 million In Bangladesh, a country of 120+ million people, just about everybody speaks Bengali. And because Bangladesh is virtually surrounded by India (where the population is growing so fast, just breathing the air can get you pregnant), the number of Bengali speakers in the world is much higher than most people would expect. To say "hello" in Bengali, say "Ei Je" (EYE-jay). 6. Arabic -- Number of speakers: 246 million Arabic, one of the world's oldest languages, is spoken in the Middle East, with speakers found in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt. Furthermore, because Arabic is the language of the Koran, millions of Moslems in other countries speak Arabic as well. So many people have a working knowledge of Arabic, in fact, that in 1974 it was made the sixth official language of the United Nations. To say "hello" in Arabic, say "Al salaam a'alaykum" (Ahl sah-LAHM ah ah-LAY-koom) . 5. Russian -- Number of speakers: 277 million Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Yakov Smirnoff are among the millions of Russian speakers out there. Sure, we used to think of them as our Commie enemies. Now we think of them as our Commie friends. One of the six languages in the UN, Russian is spoken not only in the Mother Country, but also in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the U.S. (to name just a few places). To say "hello" in Russian, say "Zdravstvuite" (ZDRAST-vet- yah). 4. Spanish -- Number of speakers: 392 million Aside from all of those kids who take it in high school, Spanish is spoken in just about every South American and Central American country, not to mention Spain, Cuba, and the U.S. There is a particular interest in Spanish in the U.S., as many English words are borrowed from the language, including: tornado, bonanza, patio, quesadilla, enchilada, and taco grande supreme. To say "hello" in Spanish, say "Hola" (OH-la). 3. Hindustani -- Number of speakers: 497 million Hindustani is the primary language of India's crowded population, and it encompasses a huge number of dialects (of which the most commonly spoken is Hindi). While many predict that the population of India will soon surpass that of China, the prominence of English in India prevents Hindustani from surpassing the most popular language in the world. If you're interested in learning a little Hindi, there's a very easy way: rent an Indian movie. The film industry in India is the most prolific in the world, making thousands of action/romance/ musicals every year. To say "hello" in Hindustani, say "Namaste" (Nah-MAH-stay) . 2. English -- Number of speakers: 508 million While English doesn't have the most speakers, it is the official language of more countries than any other language. Its speakers hail from all around the world, including the U.S., Australia, England, Zimbabwe, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, South Africa, and Canada. We'd tell you more about English, but you probably feel pretty comfortable with the language already. Let's just move on to the most popular language in the world. To say "hello" in English, say "What's up, freak?" (watz-UP-freek) . 1. Mandarin -- Number of speakers: 1 billion+ Surprise, surprise, the most widely spoken language on the planet is based in the most populated country on the planet, China. Beating second-place English by a 2 to 1 ratio, but don't let that lull you into thinking that Mandarin is easy to learn. Speaking Mandarin can be really tough, because each word can be pronounced in four ways (or "tones"), and a beginner will invariably have trouble distinguishing one tone from another. But if over a billion people could do it, so could you. Try saying hello! To say "hello" in Mandarin, say "Ni hao" (Nee HaOW). ("Hao" is pronounced as one syllable, but the tone requires that you let your voice drop midway, and then raise it again at the end.)

Sorry to say, but in your "statement" on languages there are many things which are simply not true nor accurate, since I'm portuguese and a portuguese language teacher, here's what's real about Portuguese and Portugal: - Portugal did not gain it's independence from Spain, in the 12th century Spain did not even existed... Our first king, Afonso Henriques, the son of a french templar knight, turned the territory of Portus Cale (given by the pope to Count Henry as a reward for his participation on the Crusades), into the first and thus oldest European country in 1143. Spain became a kingdom under that name and with those borders in 1492, so, as you can see, Portugal is 350 years older than Spain and the portuguese language is equally older. - Portuguese is the official language of Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, St. Tomé and Principe, Guine-Bissau, Angola, Moçambique and East Timor. Portuguese is also spoken in the indian cities of Damão, Diu and Goa, former portuguese territories untill the 1950's and Macau, untill 1999 a portuguese territory in China, that, unlike Hong Kong, taken by force from the chinese in the 19th century, Macau was actually given as an offer by the chinese emperor to the portuguese king in the 16th century for getting rid of the thousands of pirates that controlled the China Sea. - The portuguese language IS NOT number 8 in the world but actually number 6, it has more than 250 million speakers and that's just the combined populations of the countries I mentioned above, there are more speakers born in those countries, but who live abroad, roughly 30 million more. In Brazil alone there are close to 200 million speakers, making it the number one language in South America, more than spanish... - Finally, Hello in portuguese is olá and not bom dia which means good morning... I could make the same if not even more corrections on the other languages you mention. You should do a better and real research instead of a fiction...

Anyone able to answer
Anyone able to answer?
I am an archivist of my former school. And I have question. Lets say during the late 1910s, there's a teacher who had a camera (quite a good possession back then), and she was working for a missionary school, and she worked there for 2 years from 1919 to 1921, do you think that particular teacher will take photos of the school, the place she worked? And she was from the States, but the school is in the then Malaya, now known as Malaysia. I just want to know how people might judge this case based on their point of views in general. Cause I have found out all the belongings of her including here photographs are in the Yale Archive. And I am trying hard to judge, did she take any photographs of my former school, Methodist Boys' School, Kuala Lumpur as I am involved with my former school's archive. We want to depict life from 1897 to 1960s.

Why not? She was certainly working in a country that differs a lot from hers and would think it interesting to take pictures for the school and other places to show or send home. If you have the photographs then I think she would label them at the back with date and definition. Pictures were a rarity at the time and people would take care of them and make sure they indicate when and where they were shot.
2 :
sure she would photographers with good equipment use it all the time write to the archivist at Yale see if they can get you some copies its quite easy to do these days so maybe they would.

And she was from the States, but the school is in the then Malaya, now known as Malaysia. I just want to know how people might judge this case based on their point of views in general. Cause I have found out all the belongings of her including here photographs are in the Yale Archive. And I am trying hard to judge, did she take any photographs of my former school, Methodist Boys' School, Kuala Lumpur as I am involved with my former school's archive. We want to depict life from 1897 to 1960s.

Why not? She was certainly working in a country that differs a lot from hers and would think it interesting to take pictures for the school and other places to show or send home. If you have the photographs then I think she would label them at the back with date and definition. Pictures were a rarity at the time and people would take care of them and make sure they indicate when and where they were shot.

sure she would photographers with good equipment use it all the time write to the archivist at Yale see if they can get you some copies its quite easy to do these days so maybe they would.
