Hello my friend, Hope this day finds you well?, I am Ony Obo a merchant in Nigeria, I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer, It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous,I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. Now that God is about to call me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my souL. I have decided to give also to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria, Sudan, Europe and Kenya. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. I will want you to help me collect my last deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations which I deposited in security/finance house abroad, which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of (Twelve Million Eight Hundred Thousand U.S dollars) I have set aside 25% for you, then 5% for any expenses incured. If you are interested, please send your prompt reply to my private email address below which you will have to reply to if you will be kind enough to assist; God bless you Ony Obo |

I respect one's right to not like any food 100%. That doesn't mean I want to spend my entire life living with someone who refuses to eat a large variety of food I really enjoy, and like to cook on a regular basis.
In other seafood news, one of the available resort activities at teh honeymoon is a paella prep on the beach. She went :eek: and :rolleyes: at this upon learning the contents of paella. I, of course, went :D. |

Canuck stated she hated seafood when we first met. I didn't push it, but when she realized that when I prompted her to try something along with the words "you'll most likely like it" -- she did (and often loved it).
Eventually she had the realization that she really wasn't exposed to that much (in terms of trying foods) growing up and has reached the point where she'll try just about anything, and even certain items multiple times. She also has realized that making a blanket statement like "I don't eat seafood" is about the most nonsensical thing anyone can say. Sea Bass is about as far from different from muscles, which is different from salmon, which is different than shrimp, etc. |

After the discussion I had on the plane to LAX with my seatmate, I very much believe this route and the AKL one.

I'll be at the Mermaid Parade, I'd guess. I am surprised they are doing it this weekend; I'd have thought it would be next since it won't actually be summer yet this weekend. I thought I was going to miss it this year. Also, I hear that watching the races from Battery Park is just as good for views but without the grandstands or the ticket costs.

I've made progress, but the one battle that I am sure to lose is against her palate, which contains that :rolleyes: called the "texture thing". Mussels, calamari, scallops, etc. are all verboten since they essentially make her gag. She knows she was not exposed to a lot, but it's an uphill road in getting her to deviate from that which her parents taught her was OK.

speaking of food, I was eating some http://rolleye.com/sickgreen.jpg tbone steak at ihop (the only place open other than whataburger and they did not want that)
While eating (and not complaining about my 'rare' steak that was at least medium well), I was showing pics of my trip and the foods. Only one person thought the noodles looked good, and the others said it looked like squid or something?!! Ehhh? http://www.flickr.com/photos/5741360...7624105689548/ maybe I am blind... |
