April 6 - 17. D-day is the 10.
My Mom now has accepted the home and likes it there, doing crafts, painting, socializing. It's all good but the finances
are $ 600 a month less for me now. A big chunck of change.
Then I have to figure out how to sell the house in Germany and the contents all the way from here.
Anyone wanna buy a house in Germany ?

If , on the 10th , you hear a very loud THUD it's me falling on the floor out of pure euphoria and exhaustion.
If you hear another one, it's him jumping so high he'll bump his head on the ceiling.
Then we will fall into each others arms and cry like babies.
Then they will threaten to kick us out and we run in case they change their minds.

I will be waiting to hear the thud

In the meantime, our prayers are constantly coming your way

Thanks Zee, I so need them.

Yes, all of our prayers are with you. And I know we will hear the thuds.

Hello!!

I hope you all won't mind my imposing on your thread. I'm wondering if the Nigerian VJMs could give me some information on common health practices used in Nigeria to prevent illness or maintain wellness. Or treatments used for illness. Also what types of things would someone the health care need to know in order to take care of you or your love one? I am doing a heritage assessment for my cultural nursing care class. (already done Jamaica my SO's country) If you could PM me with any interesting remedies you have that would be great! Meanwhile I will continue my search on the net.

Thanks again...

I'll mosey on back to my neck of the woods

Ja bless

g'morning everyone. go jayhawks!

Morning!!!

Jayhawks all the way!!!

We had better win on Friday...one of my coworkers went to Villanova and the way we have been trash talking...lets just say I need to preserve my dignity

Welcome Brownnskinn, am not from Nigeria but I hope someone can help you with the questions.
Maybe you can break it down a little more and make it more specific as to what you are looking for as a starting point ?
Are you only looking for the Nigerian culture ? Sub-saharan should be pretty the same everywhere with those issues I would think.

JJ Washington,

Tell me about Dakar and the airport that you didn't like ? I wanna hear it all !

Anything close would be of value. Just any natural remedies used in the culture. Any views on the use of medicine. Access to health care? commom health practices?

thanks again. Pm me if you have or know of anything.

g'morning everyone, it's hump day

Morning everyone!!!

Morning and have a sunshiny day

sunshiny day, huh? *grumble*

My SO exercises. He also chews on a bitter stick every day. I don't know what they are called. His family uses a lot of herbs when ill. They go to see medical doctors trained in western medicine, but I think they trust the herb doctors more.

The stick is a medicinal stick, It keeps the digestive system clean. For bacteria puposes. My guy works out a lot as well. Everywhere I went in Dakar people were chewing on those sticks. I just continued on with my malaria tablets.

Herbs are a way of life as well. I am a true advocate of herbs. I have gotten the most relief from most alternative wellness practices.

Health and Wellness Always!!!

ZeeNusah,
You had congratulated me in the thread about us having the visa in hand. I somehow missed your post until tonite, so I am here in Sub Saharan to tell you personally Thank You for your congrats. It means a lot to me.

No problem

You definitely deserve it for the amount of time and energy you spend encouraging others on these boards. You are a God send.

As you are also, Zee. Thank you again!

Something good happened to me yesterday.........it felt like a little angel dust sprinkled from above and brightened my day.

A client gave me a gift of $ 100 saying, here is something for your trip. I was stunned.........praise God !

That is great

How many days now Omoba?

After 2 years this is lightening speed for real !

Good morning folks

Morning.

Mornin' All,
I have just come back from Spring Break and it feels so hard being here. Went to Atlanta to see my sis, got a weave, and ate all the food that I can't find here. I hope I didn't miss too much here in the cafe.

I missed you while you were gone

Gracias,
My kids went to Philly and I went to Georgia. I ate so much while I was there that I can hardly stand it now. We found a Jamaican store that had patties and I ate them like crazy.

In my neck of the woods for a visit Chispas, hope you enjoyed ur visit with your sister

Welcome back Chispas........
