I got diagnose of herpes1 January this year 2021 and i did not believe in my doctor that no cure for herpes rather i went into research online and I was introduce to Dr PUMA a herbal healer by a blogger who also narrated Her story online on how she was cured of Herpes after using Dr PUMA Herbal Medicine. I got the herbal medicine from Dr PUMA and made use of it as I was instructed. I went to the clinic for a checkup after two weeks of using the herbal product. My result came out Negative and I was booked another appointment after 30 days to confirm my result and the test still showed Negative and I was given the green light that I am fully free from herpes. All thanks to God for using this Great herbalist to heal me. You can contact Dr PUMA in any over health problems like : HIV, DIABITIES, AUTIMS E.T.C no him email: drpumaherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2348050495479. <br />Marcus Steve https://www.blogger.com/profile/17061453688990839418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-50709296299144244232011-08-08T20:03:24.104-07:002011-08-08T20:03:24.104-07:00Introverts have the right to remain silent...becau...Introverts have the right to remain silent...because we want to.<br />We have the right to NOT walk down the street with a goofy grin on our face because, who does that anyway?<br />We do not have to share what we are thinking because we are "draining the energy of the gathering"<br />We do not have to try to explain our reservedness as "I just don't do well in social settings"<br />We are just as "cool" as anyone else if not more, because most of the time when we open our mouths it's either funny, or quite intelligent. <br />That is all.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581977204213397919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-74618595070053886532010-08-26T14:27:19.284-07:002010-08-26T14:27:19.284-07:00To add to a list of "introverts' rights&q...To add to a list of "introverts' rights":<br />Introverts have a right not to be discriminated against, be it at school, workplace or elsewhere. This most explicitly includes selection criteria for various scholarships and for jobs.<br />Introverts have a right to socialize. (Surprising as it might seem, some of us introverts really want to socialize/participate in a conversation/get to know other people/form relationships. Seeing how we are often prevented by our personality trait from approaching people/making small talk, it is only fair that other people (extroverts):<br />1. Recognize/understand this.<br />2. Try and make an effort to engage in conversations with us/ be welcoming and friendly.<br />3. Do not assume that just because we don't approach people/ start talking to them we don't want to get to know these people/don't like them.<br />4. Do not assume that we don't know anything about the subject if we do not say anything.<br />5. Understand that we might need a longer time to develop trust/relationships and talk about personal matters.<br /><br />Intoverts' rights can be conceptualized just like any other group of rights of marinalized people that has developed over time. Take the rights of the disabled: currently, in most countries, we do not expect the disabled to miraculously cure themselves (parallel: all those books that promise to teach you how not to be shy/intoverted), neither do we expect them to sit at home and take no part in the society's life. Instead, we change our world, our surrounding, our perceptions so that the disabled feel welcome in our society (expressly forbidding discrimination on the grouds of disbility and making all places accessable by wheelchair are some of the examples). It seems only reasonable that we afford the same level of support and recognition to the introverts and promote the idea that it is OK to be the way you are, that you do not have to change, often painfully, to fit the ideal the society currently favours.<br /><br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-72569370336921839502010-05-02T21:17:10.714-07:002010-05-02T21:17:10.714-07:00I agree with #5.
