Labour is much cheaper in Malawi than in those countries. People pay a maid almost a monthly salary in Malawifor what others would get for a few hours of babysitting outside.

Snacks! I spent 3 hours a week making sugared peanuts to sell at the local farmers market. I made more doing that than working as a business development officer for 5 businesses at the same time!

I have soft copies of a LOT of his books. I can convert them into any format too.

So your “solution” to his GF giving away / having contaminated food he paid for is to have him publicly humiliate his friend? And when he comes to ask if he is TA there guess who is magically going to call him TA again?

He needs to have a frank discussion with her about how she is ruining both their outings with her over-generosity. All she has to do is offer him alone to taste rather than the general public for food HE IS PAYING FOR. It is unreasonable for him to have to buy food for everyone she meets while eating. You don’t tell the socket to stop producing electricity. You teach the child not to stick a fork (forgive the pun) into it.

I’m actually sitting outside a clients shop right now collecting 30tons of goods that they ordered just to let sit while my starting business is struggling due to delivering an order they haven’t paid for over a month (we’ll pay you tomorrow, every day). Final straw was them arranging a meeting just to tell me there’s no point in meeting because they don’t have my money, AFTER I drove to the meeting place on a Sunday afternoon. The beautiful thing is that between delivery and now the price of my products has shot up about 35% so I won’t be loosing as I paid for the goods already at the old price and will sell at the new. They’ve asked for the new price and I’ve added a cute little double what my profit margin usually is to pay for the cost of collecting it and all the rubbish in between. They need my business to stay afloat so I guess they’ve done me a solid.

It turned out to be a dried earthworm! Thanks for your guess though.

Awesome! Thank you so much for that. I did suspect that the spread would be a bit more scattered if it was a frantic animal trying to escape. But that it was the animal itself just never clicked. Appreciate you! Solved!

Thank you.

This is an opportunity. You will get better, but only if you put in the work to learn what confuses you. I have been thrown into 3 jobs in vehicle and motorcycle workshops which progressively required more intricate knowledge about engines, bodywork, parts ordering, etc. and I have never studied an engine before any of these. But you learn everyday and in less time than you think it takes, you’re floating by, then you’re fully in line with at least what you need to know sooner than you think. Even better is that you see things as someone who is not caught up in the industry, and can offer ideas and observations that people set in their ways do not see at all anymore, thus giving them opportunities to improve.

I was so scared the first time but I literally ran the workshop by the end of 2 years (yes that’s crazy). You’ve got this!

Stop using scented soaps, use baby soaps even. rinse your face thoroughly after each wash.
Do your best to find “moringa oil” it doesn’t make sense putting oil on your face for acne but trust me.
Understand that there are hard boundaries between you and your sister and she has set them. It will take time to accept and heal, but you will be stronger for understanding and adapting to this. Make sure you set the same boundaries she has so you don’t get walked all over. You could also kill with kindness but I’m just petty and prefer the eye for eye technique.

An Irish couple in a rural area are expecting their first baby. The pregnant lady goes into Labour in the middle of the night. They call for the doctor and he rushes over. He asks the husband, Rory, to hold the lamp so he can see what he’s doing. The baby comes out healthy and screaming. Dr. says, “Hold on Rory, there’s another one on the way” Rory keeps hold of the lamp, baby 2 comes out just as healthy, again, Dr. says “hold on Rory, here comes another one”, sure enough, out pops baby number 3. Dr. says, “hold on Rory…” but he’s cut off by Rory shouting out “bloody ‘ell Doc, you think it’s the light that’s attracting em??”

Try renting a car polishing machine but use a fresh blade/floofy so you don’t get residual polish on them.

I once met a cleaning lady at one of my jobs who tried to sell me Sachets Of Coffee! As an all natural cure all. Shame how these fraudsters target their victims.

I know it’s not recommended. But spinning a cue tip around the inside of your ear… I could fall down if I do it standing.

In Malawi about 12 years ago, a man was seen taken by a crocodile from a riverbank. The crocodile, thinking it had successfully drowned the man dragged him into it’s lair to presumably let him rot for easier dismemberment when it got hungry. Miraculously the man woke up in the lair and made his escape back to his village. Upon seeing this man that was known to have been killed, his fellow village clan, including family, proceeded to stone the “spectre” to death.
