"Oh Dear, you complain about everything! Even the weather? Oh please... The Glorious Sun comes out, you complain. We experience power shower rain , you complain. You complain about every little silly thing. Oh come on...... I  see you as a hindrance and not a help. Now you know why I steer well clear away from you, cause I refuse to develop unexplained headache. It's really not my portion. Stress, anxiety and depression are not good for your heart and health. You can avoid stress. You ought to and you should.  Avoid spending your quality TIME complaining about the  weather. Remember, some countries are suffering from drought, as they have not had rain  for an extended period of months or years. Please rest assured, we not only want the rain rain, we need the rain so that farmers would be better able to harvest commodities from the dry soil" okra eXpress  Rain down in Africa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP4Ed3xJ0t8

Photo above: Dry EARTH. Oh Dear, are you complaing again? You go on and on... making people develop unexplained headache and all the rest of it. Oh please, get lost gently, with your short-sighted and one-sided thoughts. Keep away from terrify people. Ask them to go for a walk in the park to fly a kite in the moonlight. Ask them to ensure the kite is a colourful rainbow kite, to be  better able to trace and track the kite in the dark. Or feed the animals in the zoo. Are you able to harvest commodities from dry EARTH to safeguard world food security? The answer is no. Thank you, I have no further questions, very grateful. Ever heard of water shortage and water management? Probably not. The current position is that there are many countries, experiencing drought and crying out for Rain. You have power shower Rain  in abundance  and yet you are complaining. oh please.... come on! We need more Rain - Embrace the rain heartily and move on to the next best thing with your quality TIME. okra eXpress

"Avoid stress. You ought to, you can and you should. Steer well clear away from negative, ill-thought, ill-advised, utterly revolting  people with over dramatized personal views which are far from the facts. These terrifying people need to check their "so called  facts" and refrain  from gathering inappropriate and unethical "dell boy tactics" to gain unnessesary momentum entirely based on their vested interest at the expense of people's misery. Surely, you would very much like to avoid self inflicted stress, anxiety, unexplained headach and all th rest of it. Please try not to  allow these terrifying people to stand next to your children. These ill-thought people with short-sighted and selfish views are a distraction and a disapointment. They never come up with credible and workable thoughts that work for everyone but entirely driven by financial gains for themselves at the expense of people's misery. No amount of financial gain is worth compromising you health. Protect your healthy heart. Steer well clear away from these terrifying people otherwise high stress level kicks in. These terrifying people only think about themselves and they always use the first person singular, "I", "I", "I". They also use,  "me", "me", "me" so it's alway me. myself and I but not other people. They later find themselves as underdogs, having undermined their own reputation already short of credibility, acting like a poppet on a string, they push them there, they go, they call them here they come, you ask them to jump, they ask you how high. It's madness. (Have they ever said  to themselves, "hell no",  I  just cannot do this, my integrity and people matter? I am unable, unwilling and unavailable. I have strong values and principles and I stand by them.). You sometimes wonder. They end up in a weaker position than they care to admit. Their image tarnished already short of credibility. These terrifying people are of no use in the community with their "same script, different audience talks". Their talks suddenly become the scripts suitable for the commedy world stage tour starring, well known commedians. This is how I believe terrifying people operate. They have no degree of thoughtfulness. They position people in a vulnerable and obliging posiion, insulting people's intelligence in an arrogant manner and making people feel inadequate, kicking everyone in the teeth , very desparate to capitalize on people's misery, while flogging their ill-thought and contaminated products at people, forcing things down your  throut, lining their own pockets, rubbing their hands in glee and running all the way to the bank and all the rest of it. They have no credible rock solid  policy ideas, they openly undermine everyone's intelligence treating people like crazy fools, while polluting people's brains with their crazy foolishness, acting as if the world is coming to an end, when we have only just begun. These terrifying people, chose to capitalize on people's misery and distressing situation. They confuse people, with their foolish one-sided and short-sighted thoughts, they can derail your focus and prey on people's misery for financial gain. They chose to flog their one-sided, ill-though views at a TIME when people are distressed, and "under the weather", and when they are not feeling upbeat. Avoid wasting quality TIME with these terrifying people. Politely, tell these terifying people to do what they do best, disappear, because they are a hindrance and not a help. Make sure you offer these terrifying people your lavish smiles.. (Remain cool, calm and collective. No need to be agressive though, because aggressiveness, leads to counter agreesiveness). These terrifying people are totally oblivious to reality. One would be at a loss to justify and comprehend with their behaviour. Ask them very kindly to get lost gently where possible.  Be Alert and be aware of what is going on around you. Focus on your rear view mirror as well as your blind spots. These terrifying people are around and everywhere, steer well clear away from them. Each TIME they open their mouths, it's to put the other foot in. They are a disapointment. They are game player, but you can out smart them to disappear with their crazy foolishness, vested interest and hidden agenda, making a spectacle of themselves. They just don't know what they are talking about. What a bore. They are bored and lonely. They are not creatThey only know what they know, using other people's outdated  views. Ask them to get a LIFE, start LIVING and stop existing.  Ask them to explain in a swify, punchy, staright to the point and honest sentence what was discussed and agreed on at the historic Good Friday peace agreement in Ireland - unforgetable moments in history.  They have no idea. They are out of touch with the people. Ask them another question about what is happening in the community. They have no idea, but yet these terrifying people will prefer to flog at your face, their contaminated, misleading, contradicting product which lacks credibility. They would force you to purchase their products now so you have no choice but to purchase now. Surely, they would not encourage you to save up, and purchase their product later, it's got to be now, cause they want to run all the way to the bank. They are desparate for you to part with your cash to feast upon while failing to embrase rational and sensible and ethical approach. Their personal views which are far from facts are sad, disapointing and outragous. Stay ahead of the game in a cool, calm, collective and civilized manner. Please try not to intimidate people into silence. Stay positive and upbeat. It's not the end of the world. Better-still, be a Girl Guide. Be prepared". You have strong values. You have principles, stand by them.  People who are stress free will respond very well to medical treatments and when hospitalized, they will be discharged from hospital earlier than people who are stressed out. all the TIME. okra eXpress
