HOW DO I GET MY BOYFRIEND TO SAY "I LOVE YOU" SHARP, SHARP?

You know when they say if you are searching for answers, Google is your best friend? Well Google failed me on this one o. So here is the gist, last night I was discussing with a younger friend of mine who has been in a relationship for a while and lee boo has never said the "L" word to her.Hmmm, she asked me "how do I get my boy friend to say I love you to me? I just need to hear him say it just once". I saw she was hurting but I didn’t have an answer for her ( because DH was always willing to say I love you and even writes old fashion love letters).

I Googled it but no real answers, please my dear book club members, how does one get lee boo to say  "I LOVE YOU" SHARP SHARP?

7 MOST MAGNIFICENT LIBRARIES IN THE WORLD

When last did you visit a library? (please be honest about this) I asked myself that same question, and by the way, do they still even have libraries?  Out of sheer girl curiosity..#wink.., I decided to do a bit of research and I was amazed with the what I found; people like you and I still visit libraries and, believe it or not, there are some libraries around the world that would keep your jaws dropped during your entire visit that you may end up not reading any book at all! Reading and books are part of human life and what better way to express THE LOVE FOR BOOKS in art form than to build a place where books can be displayed (and read) in style. Well guys these seven libraries are some of the most spectacular, magnificent and opulent places to find and read books in the world. Happy viewing (and sight seeing), thank me later...ciao

He wanted to reach out and touch her. What he wanted and what he needed were two different things, and he wasn’t sure which would win out in the end.
Against his better judgment, he laid his hand over hers, cupping it closer to his cheek. “I could never hate you.”

“Well Barry?”
“Claire. . . I can't read this,” Barry said.
“You have to,” Claire said.
“I'm sorry, but this is something you'll have to read for yourself,” Barry said.
“Come again?”
“It's written in braille,” Barry said, handing the paper to her. He put it in her hands, and
her face looked a little flushed.

AS LONG AS SHE IS HAPPY ( By C.M. Lanning) - Cindies Short Story

“You ready to go?”
“You tell me, do I look ready to go?”
Barry sighed and looked her over. She looked great. She was wearing a tight green dress
that from every angle sang a song called “perfection.”
He smiled, and then frowned, closed his eyes, and quickly looked away.
She heard his neck pop as he quickly looked away, and she smiled. It was a subtle smile,
but it established that she was in charge. And not just because of the families that they came
from, but because without her,he had nothing. That thought always made her smile, but she
never held it over his head.
“Your silence means?”
“That you look ready to go,” Barry said.
“And how do I look?”
Barry said nothing, but scratched his head.
“You're stuck with me regardless of your answer Barry. You might as well spit it out,”
Claire said.
Coughing softly, Barry looked out the window and said quietly, “You look lovely.”

The Third Wish

Beth sighed as she gave out another round of candy to the trick or treat that had rung her
doorbell. She had always loved Halloween, but this year it was a lonely night for her. Last year,
she had thrown a party, along with her fiance, and there had been awesome decorations, good
food, and friends. She had given out candy when the kids had stopped by, and her fiance had
been sitting on the porch, pretending to be a mannequin. When the kids walked away from the
door, he had jumped out and scared them. But the ultimate trick he had played wasn’t funny. She
had found him in her bedroom with one of her best friends, and they were making out like
teenagers......

Etcetera Hits Hard; Says nobody should celebrate Buhari

 

Are these in Nigeria? Great destinations for a fabulous Easter holiday

 

When last did you take your kids or your spouse to visit some of the tourist destinations we have in Nigeria even if its a zoo? I remember as a kid, during the holiday periods, my parents would arrange a special visit to special places like the Zoo and parks and we all would sit down and have fun. Now i have grown up but i cant remember visiting any of these places. Maybe it's the modern lifestyle or just pure laziness. whatever the case, i think is time we traveled to some of the great tourist destinations in Nigeria,( at least online!). Two things we Africans need to embrace more? Books and tourism. There is so much fun and imagination in reading books, and that's cools but one of the greatest ways to actually live the imagination and experience is through traveling, no, not just traveling to the US to visit an uncle or for holiday, I am talking about adventurous tourism. The thrilling expedition is worth so much education. I have put together a grid of some interest destinations, within Nigeria and not very far away, that you, your family and a LOADS OF BOOKS FROM CYNTHIAKALUBOOKCLUB can visit this holiday period( there could even be more adventure in the hotel room, hmmm okay o). I personally didn't even know some of these places existed let alone visit them. So why dont we have some fun exploring these places and please do let me know if you have visited any of them, what your experiences were and where you will be visiting this holiday. Enjoy the read...
