what is the difference?

Are they not both meant to mean "across multiple cultures"? - yet one is used to define what the other is not. I'm confused.

Two years ago I was working in a 5 star hotel when an old guest asked me to date him and probably more.He was a wealthy person and could have been very generous with me.I didn't accept.Actually I was taken aback and was stunned.
Now since I'm jobless and in an awful situation I regret not having accepted his "offer".

I really dread going to work in the morning. I sometimes feel like downing a few beers before going into work to lighten me up and to reduce stress and make me feel more cheery about it. Sometimes I do it. I just have to put some gum in my mouth afterwards and not talk to close to anyone until after lunch.

Why does society frown on people for there choices? I am a straight, married male who likes to wear satin or silky underwear, but would not do so at work because of the fear of having others in the locker room harass me or talk behind my back. My wife is accepting of this and has no problem with it. I am not talking about womens panties, but about mens underwear made out of these materials. We all make choices in our lives that we feel comfortable with, I dont judge anyone on their choices, so why cant others do the same?

I was mostly James West on wild wild west. He was cool because he was a cowboy but but cooler yet because he was a secret agent.

I'm interested in Arabic (Muslim and non-Muslim), purely Persian (non-Muslim) and Purely Welsh (non-Christian) names. Which do you think are the best in terms of beauty, depth of meaning, spiritual significance, and which are generally suitable and not likely to be a cause of confusion or offense.

As for Arabic names, some which I can think of as being beautiful and noble include: 'Abdu'llah, 'Abbas, 'Ali-Muhammad, Muhammad, Ahmad, Hasan, Husayn, Husayn-'Ali, 'Ali-Husayn, Quddus, Kamal, Nur, etc.

For Persian, Khudabandih is quite a nice name as it means Servant of God or 'Abdu'llah. What would Servant of the Glory be in Persian? Pre-Islamic regnal names like Sasan, Jamshid and Cyrus are quite nice as well.

I don't know many native Welsh names. Brwt is one I think. Dafydd doesn't count, because it comes from David as is not a native pre-Christian Celtic name.

Please give me your suggestions for other such names.

I understand that during a leap year it has 29. But why and when was it given 28 days instead of 30. Then we would have 2 less months with 31 days. On a leap year it would then have 31 days. How did this end up this way?

It really worries me, that I find almond-shaped, glossy deep red fingernails attractive. And blue and green and yellow fingernails are seriously yucky.

All the cultures seem to have women painting their fingernails deep red, isn't that strange? I've heard it might be related to menstrual blood, as a sign of fertility. But that's even more yucky!

What thinks you?

And stuff like that.
Do you have anything new?
Something cool...or not.
