Okay, there is a thread here on VJ and someone posted this into it:
Very interesting, I asked for the name of one African country and didn’t see anything but your seriously and that you lived in one. Maybe you can come out with that country name and before you do, let me tell you about Ghana. Ghana is pretty and very much prettier then Liberia but they do have pit hole latrine in Ghana. People are coming from Ghana with infected asses full with rashes from those same latrines. Maybe the area you lived never had a that latrine but that doesn’t mean that the entire do not have that latrine. I will say it again, NO AFRICAN COUNTRY RURAL AREA IS FREE FROM PIT HOLE LATRINE!
I wish to get the name of that country anyone wants to exclude from the above statement, no offense.
I took that little part of the sentence and laughed at how vulgar it sounded.
Yay, mother Omoba is here. Please protect me.

After reading the first few post (I said out loud, huh? what the?); how creative a maggot filled pit toilet topic; ironically following LL's post with all the beautiful pictures of Africa. I looked at it as propaganda, and recognized that it was going to end up as a hot bag of smelly poop being dumped into a pit.
An email topic disguised as

is very much in character. Most of the people in this forum know that sometimes when you travel; you have to expect the un-expected and adjust. If you find yourself in a situation where pit toilets are the norm; you either hold your business until something else is available
, use the pit toilet , go to the bushes with some tissue 
, carry depends 
or use it on yourself

When she came back super happy, it kind of forced me to alter what I really wanted to say. I think there was more to the post than just "I want to show you this email", but I will leave it at that. There is so much that could be said about this topic, but the one thing that we all know is that EVERY country has it's good and bad sides. That was the whole reason I created the thread showing the good side of Africa...yeah, we are all used to the sucky parts, but guess what...there is a plethora of beautiful parts that "they" just don't want you to see.

Oh dear...that is a loaded question.....
Yes, I remember we had a thread about this a few months ago. It was quite a long one if I remember correctly.
I was married previously for many years, and my late husband had much difficulty with this. Most of my friends WERE men prior to our relationship, because I have always connected better with them on a platonic level.
Once I got married, I had to put my husband first. Most of my male friends understood, but unless they were willing to accept our friendship as a "packag deal," I had to back away. It was easier said than done.

I agree with you, I had at least two friends of the opposite sex that I kept around one was my mechanic( he would work on my car and he also did little odds and in things around the house for me. The other was my good friend from Sierra Leone, we have been friends for years. He knows them both and he calls them both also from time to time.

Currently both of us have friends of the opposite sex, some mutual, some not. As long as we both behave appropriately, I don't see a reason not to.

If it is truly platonic and he had those female friends before then I see no problem with it.
I believe it is good to have an agreement to introduce opposite gender friends to each other.
My guy friends have either talked to, IM'ed or emailed with my fiance.
If new friends pop up I would definitely ask why who when what and dig a little deeper.

Cute smilie!!
Booker and I both have friends of the opposite sex. We are both cool with the idea (mostly) as long as we introduce the friend to each other. We both have friends of the opposite sex who we were friends with before we met and we are okay with each other still talking to them. There have been a few instances of jealousy, but it is pretty rare.
YAY for TBT !!
Good night everyone.
No crazy behavior tonight.
Thank you.

I have a question for you ladies. Men can chime in as well. How would you feel about your spouse/fiance having female friends? Would you allow it or not and why?
