LifestyleRelationships PDA (Yay or Nay?). by: – April 15, 2011 Sharing is caring! Share Tweet 86 Views no discussions
Share Share Let’s face it —we see it everywhere we go. At restaurants, at the movies or even at the supermarket.Hugs and smooches with hands in each other’s back pockets while walking (I never understood this move).PDA (Public Displays of Affection) can be shown all kinds of ways. Many couples have pet names for each other or some can’t keep their hands off the other’s body parts.I always wonder what kind of couples display public affection? In the beginning of a new love we’re sitting on cloud nine finding our lovers irresistible to the point where we always want to touch.But does this feeling eventually fade away? Or is it couples that have been together for years that still adore each other so much they want the world to see? I think it’s a little bit of both, but mostly new lovebirds.All lovers aren’t PDA material, for a number of reasons. If the two were more of a reserved item then PDA wouldn’t excite them. I think PDA comes from the chemistry and the actual physical attraction you have for your lover.If you are extremely attracted to each other it’s hard to excuse your hands from touching, grabbing, and caressing your mate, even in public. I love PDA. It shows affection and love within the relationship other than just saying, “I love you” or “I like you a lot.” Actions always speak louder than words.Nevertheless, I’m not saying those couples that do not show PDA are lacking love or affection, they may show it differently. I notice couples when I’m out who are crazy about each other who can’t keep their eyes off the prize.How much is too much PDA? A little peck every now and again doesn’t hurt, but overly making out tends to be a bit trashy and too much for the public eye.By GalTimer Staci CoxYahoo Shine

Share NewsRegional Grenada PM announces cabinet changes by: – June 13, 2012 Share Sharing is caring! Share
Tweet Grenadian Prime Minister Tillman ThomasST GEORGE’S, Grenada — A cabinet reshuffle in Grenada, reports of which were downplayed last week by Information Minister Glen Noel, has now taken place.Changes in portfolios involving MPs Glynis Roberts and Sylvester Quarless were announced on Tuesday evening in a nationally televised address by Prime Minister Tillman Thomas.Roberts, former minister of labour, social security and ecclesiastical affairs, is being made minister of environment, foreign trade and export trade, the prime minister disclosed.Quarless will have labour, social security and ecclesiastical affairs added to his social development portfolio.A local TV station had broken the news of the pending cabinet changes that was also carried by other media outlets, including Caribbean News Now.However, Noel immediately denied having knowledge of such a reshuffle.He said no medium had called him to discuss the matter nor had he been “officially informed” of any pending government reshuffle.“I don’t know anything about it,” Noel said last week.It is the fourth cabinet reshuffle since Thomas and his National Democratic Congress (NDC) were voted into office in July 2008.In Tuesday’s address, the prime minister also commented on a cash donation he received into his personal bank account on behalf of the NDC in January.The issue, first raised by the opposition New National Party (NNP), has been a main topic of discussion among Grenadians.Thomas, who has released a photocopy of a bank declaration he signed for receipt of US$50,000 from a corporate resident of the British Virgin Islands, said he had violated no internal rules of his party, infringed none of the country’s laws, nor were any of the tenets of his moral standing compromised.Thomas said he wanted to dispel all appearance of “connivance and cover up”.The money was given for work of the NDC and, according to the prime minister, he has insisted that the money be used for its intended purposes.Thomas said there is no requirement that the US$50,000 should be deposited into a specific account of the NDC.Meanwhile, the NNP, which originally claimed that a top government official had received US$150,000 from a donor in Saudi Arabia, has still not produced any documents to support its claim.NNP representative, Terry Forrester, would only say that the evidence would be made public in “due course.”He said documents in possession of the NNP are now in the hands of the party’s attorneys.Caribbean News Now 19 Views no discussions
Blues head coach Frank Lampard has stated he is looking to reinforce his strike force during the current window.Express Sport understands Lyon star Moussa Dembele and RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner are two of the strikers Chelsea have expressed an interest in.However, Castles says developments over Willian’s at the club future means Chelsea will now look at replacing the Brazilian, who could even leave this month.Willian is out of contract at the end of the season and wants longer than the one-year extension he has been offered.“It does not look like Chelsea are willing to spend that much on a centre-forward,” Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast.“Their priorities, I’m told, are elsewhere, particularly on the wing where they envisage losing Willian at the latest in the summer.“They have offered Willian a new contract but only a one-year contract because of his age.“Willian, quite understandably, is arguing that ‘I’m better than a one-year contract, I’m a top performer in the Premier League, there are plenty of other clubs who would like to give me a longer-term deal, so I’m not going to sign that’.“So Chelsea are preparing for his exit and I’m told are focusing on wingers at present.”Willian has been a regular under Lampard this season, scoring four goals in 21 Premier League appearances and most notably starring in the win over London rivals Tottenham.Chelsea change transfer plan with Frank Lampard ‘preparing for Willian’s exit’ https://t.co/tUgjqrW7E3 pic.twitter.com/Fmq92b3dWq— CLEANSHEET (@Cleansheet) January 16, 2020Read Also: Chelsea keeper relishes Premier League challengeCastles says Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and director Marina Granovskaia are prepared to make a “statement signing” this month.And Borussia Dortmund and England winger Jadon Sancho is their No 1 target.“One of those strong options for them is Jadon Sancho,” Castles added.FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail分享 Chelsea look set to allow Olivier Giroud to leave the club this month, leaving them short on attacking options.
