Full plate
NEWLY-appointed Police Commissioner David Manning is also the chairman of the Immigration and Customs Authority board. His plate is certainly full, so to speak, at the moment.
Power assurance
PNG Power will not be conducting anymore load-shedding during the festive season but during “unplanned outages caused by accidents or severe weather conditions” will try to quickly restore power.
A lot to handle
Imagine coming home every day to a wife such as Nataliya Kuznetsova, 28. The world champion bodybuilder does not care that her husband Yusif Gyvazov, 42, has much smaller biceps than her because “mutual love and support” are the only things that matter in a happy relationship.
Happily married
Wife: “You always carry my photo in your wallet. Why?”
Husband: “When there is a problem, no matter how great, I look at your picture and the problem disappears.”
Wife: “You see how miraculous and powerful I am for you?”
Hubby: “Yes! I see your picture and ask myself what other problem can there be greater than this one?”
Be fair
Some seem to ignore that men too are assaulted by their wives or girlfriends, sometimes with regrettable results. They, unlike women, do not even have an office or police unit to look after their welfare. So unfair.
Cruel world
Heartbreaking when your daughter who has been suffering from cancer comes to tell you: “Dad I know I am ready to die.” A friend recently went through that last weekend. He buried his beloved daughter yesterday. So painful, he said. Children must bury their parents, not the other way around.
Thought for today
Be thankful for the bad things in life. They open your eyes to see the good things you were not paying attention to before.
