crvsader-deactivated20130411 asked: Well, nice to meet you Kelly! Let me start with friendly formalities: I'm Nick, 22 years of age (I know I'm still a youngster) and a proud inhabitant of a small country known as the Netherlands.
Wow, I never would have guessed you'd be 42, really. I thought you were in your thirties. I hope this isn't offensive in any way?
Let me help ye, it's the least I could do. You're following people, so this'll work. When you're on your dashboard you notice all the different posts there are being made by the people you follow. When it is a piece they've placed you notice you can do all sorts of things: press the heart button (like a lost), reblog 'button' (if you find it real cool and want it to be reblogged by you because it's that awesome), the note button (if it's liked by people, reblogged, or replyed to, you'll find out that the post got notes attached to it) and finally the REPLY 'button' (this let's you comment on // reply to a post, but it really HAS to be a POST of the person who made it, in this case someone you're following and not a reblogged post, 'cause they don't let you comment on it, that's so because that post doesn't belong to them, you've gotta comment on the post of the author).
I hope that makes any sense to you? Furthermore, I hope my English isn't too bad either, for you to get this.
Have a great weekend! :)
Hi Nick : )
You know what… I’m afraid that still don’t get it but I’ll stare at some more a little later. I’ll figure it out eventually… I hope… lol! And no, it has absolutley nothing to do with your english. Your english is great! Never would have guessed that it might be a second language!
Thanks for the complement. I don’t think any women in her 40s would be offended by someone thinking she is in her 30s. Well, this one isn’t anyway!!
I did have a great weekend, thanks! I had to put in an extra shift at work but other then that I was able to unwind with friends over dinner and some drinks.
Hope your weekend was good!
Probably our favourite ‘zoomer’ moment at the 2011 Junos — homegrown hip hop talent Drake gets his “old money” on.

Adequate food, clean water and basic security are already beyond the reach of perhaps half the world’s population. Food prices have risen 61 percent globally since December 2008, according to the International Monetary Fund. The price of wheat has exploded, more than doubling in the last eight months to $8.56 a bushel. When half of your income is spent on food, as it is in countries such as Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia and the Ivory Coast, price increases of this magnitude bring with them malnutrition and starvation. Food prices in the United States have risen over the past three months at an annualized rate of 5 percent. There are some 40 million poor in the United States who devote 35 percent of their after-tax incomes to pay for food. As the cost of fossil fuel climbs, as climate change continues to disrupt agricultural production and as populations and unemployment swell, we will find ourselves convulsed in more global and domestic unrest. Food riots and political protests will be inevitable. But it will not necessarily mean more democracy.
The refusal by all of our liberal institutions, including the press, universities, labor and the Democratic Party, to challenge the utopian assumptions that the marketplace should determine human behavior permits corporations and investment firms to continue their assault, including speculating on commodities to drive up food prices. It permits coal, oil and natural gas corporations to stymie alternative energy and emit deadly levels of greenhouse gases. It permits agribusinesses to divert corn and soybeans to ethanol production and crush systems of local, sustainable agriculture. It permits the war industry to drain half of all state expenditures, generate trillions in deficits, and profit from conflicts in the Middle East we have no chance of winning. It permits corporations to evade the most basic controls and regulations to cement into place a global neo-feudalism. The last people who should be in charge of our food supply or our social and political life, not to mention the welfare of sick children, are corporate capitalists and Wall Street speculators. But none of this is going to change until we turn our backs on the Democratic Party, denounce the orthodoxies peddled in our universities and in the press by corporate apologists and construct our opposition to the corporate state from the ground up. It will not be easy. It will take time. And it will require us to accept the status of social and political pariahs, especially as the lunatic fringe of our political establishment steadily gains power. The corporate state has nothing to offer the left or the right but fear. It uses fear—fear of secular humanism or fear of Christian fascists—to turn the population into passive accomplices. As long as we remain afraid nothing will change.
