Vicks VaporRub has been with us for over a 100 years and many used it as a common medication for cough and cold symptoms in children.It brings reliefs and quick healings to the children and is massaged on the chest, back, neck and forehead and sometimes just swipe it under the nose. There are some adults who would put it inside their nose.
I remembered I did put it inside the nose or under the nose when I had those cold symptoms and I felt better and got some relieved. I did not read those instructions on the bottle.
Using the Vicks VapourRub on children below 2 seems like a prevalent practice among many parents over here. Many parents may not go and see the doctor for minor colds and only apply the Vicks .
The company is really clear it should never go under the nose or in the nose for anybody and it shouldn't be used in children under 2.
If it is used in that way ,the young child's tiny airways would swell and fill with mucus, triggering severe breathing problems.
I did applied it that way to my children but there were no severe breathing problems. The child felt better and able to breathe better after the application of VaporRub. VaporRub is milder than those medicated oil. Adults used those medicated oils for their colds and blocked nose.

Men may have trophy wives when those old men marry younger women who could be half their age or who could be their daughter's age.
In today's world , some women are treating marriages like a business preposition.
Two young, equally rich and successful person entering into a marriage because they think they are made for each other or they think society expects them to marry each other because of their status or lifestyles.
We have seen many marriages of those rich and famous person and sadly many of those unions do not last.Being rich and egoistical can made them hard taskmasters and their unreasonable demands can tear their marriage apart.
It is not a marriage based on true love but on convenience and benefits. How many girls would find happiness to be in that kind of materialistic marriage ?
Is marriage all about materialistic needs without the emotional and close intimacies ?
Those who believed that such a marriage will work is only living in a dream world .For in the end, it is just a hollow and meaningless marriage, devoid of any loving feelings or sharing.
We maybe living in a materialistic world today but all those materialistic things cannot give you true happiness. They can satisfy you temporarily and in the long run , it is the love from another which is more meaningful in life than all those materialistic things.
Happiness in marriage is not about the abundance or the lack of financial means but it is about the concern and love for each other. When you find someone who cares for you and gives his life for you , that is the supreme love .
Women with trophy husbands are nothing more than a business entity,much like those hookers who ply their trades. One freelance and the other is being booked for all her life or until he gets tired of her.

A woman in China, M/s Wang Guiying is looking for a mate who must be matured and be over 100 +. Hey! As long as she is breathing,there is always a chance that she will realize her dreams.
I wish her all the best of luck.
There won't be many man over 100 + but maybe she will come into contact with him and they will happily get married and live out the last days of their life.
If you are still not married after 35 , there is still a lot of time to get married after you enjoyed your single hood.
She did not get married earlier because she saw many wives were beaten by their chauvinistic husbands.It was prevalent during her times when the husband and wives came to blows and the husbands abused their wives to put them in place. Those abused women were pitiful and had no recourse but to suffer in silence.
Chinese men are more chauvinistic and they tend to lord over their women. Off course, the modern educated Chinese who are exposed to the Western cultures are a better lot than those feudalistic and traditional men.
In Malaysia, women like her may marry much younger men who could be their children or grand children's age. Whether it is for true love or for her properties or assets , we do not know. You'll be the judge.
For those women who are still single, you should throw away your stupid 'man shopping list' or you will be like her.

There are people who says that a threesome can improve their relationships but I do not buy that idea.
You are dealing with a woman who is a complex being and no matter how you look at this issue, you will never understand what goes on in a woman's mind.
She may accede to your fantasies but you would surely regret it ,for the effects can be very long lasting and may even destroy your marriage or relationship.
She may not be able to foresee the consequences until it hits home and by then , there is nothing she can do about it.
A person who has never seen a Tsunami does not know what it is like and only understands when she experienced it and lives to tell the horrors.
It is not purely a sex act where there is no emotions, mental or psychological factors involved. It is unlike having sex with two hookers where you just leave after you have enjoyed those sessions.
Having a threesome with your wife or g/f with another person who is usually their best friend or relatives can bring on many social and emotional repercussions.
Your WAG's would be made to feel insecure ,inadequate and jealousy will rear it's ugly head big time.You may like the other woman more or she could like you and your relationship becomes more complicated.
You cannot control or stop her from loving you .What if she becomes a psycho and comes on for you ? You will be in deep sh*t ! You let the genie out of the lamp and you will have a hard time putting her back into it.
Love and emotions are very powerful forces and once you unleashed it , you may not be able to control it and you will be swept away by those forces , swallowed by those dark forces.
Then , there is the question of STD's and pregnancies . There are no 100% safe method of contraception's. What if the other woman becomes pregnant and does not want to abort?
No matter what you have agreed upon for the threesome, it may not hold water as circumstances can change and once you have done it, you will reap what you sowed.
If you want a peaceful and serene relationship which last for eternity, a threesome should be furthest from your mind. You may have fantasies or dreams and that is all
you can enjoy.

There are a growing number of men who want to look good by going under the knife.Previously it was the women only but the fad has spread to the men too.
They are going for double eyelids, higher noses, sharper chins, narrower faces,bigger pecs and liposuction's.
Having a natural look is deemed to be full of imperfections. Many want to look like their idols and plastic surgery is the only way they can reshaped their faces or bodies.
The quest for perfections can be a never ending road because once they started on this journey, it will lead them further and further into the irrational and delusional world of make belief's.
They are like mental cases or have psychological disorders , requiring psychological help rather than those plastic surgeries.
There was a recent case of a plastic surgery addicted Korean woman who injected cooking oil into her face after the surgeons refused to operate anymore on her.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3439638/Cosmetic-surgery-addict-injected-cooking-oil-into-her-own-face.html
This can develop into a compulsive and obsessive behavior. All surgery is not without risk and the end results may not be what is expected. Disfigurement is a possibility and it can be forever without any avenue to turn back the process.We all read and know about Michael Jackson and his nose.
If you are thinking of trying to improve your life, career or marriage prospects by plastic surgery , think hard and long. The moment you step into that world , you will not be able to control yourself and you will fall into the misguided , fake and unnatural world

Most single working women are usually broke before the end of the month due to their shopping binges. The lucky ones would get some loans or subsidies from their b/f's or parents ,while those who are single will have to tighten their belts when their money is in short supply. They may go on a diet of cup noodles for days to tight over until the next payday .
For those married, spending his money is fun and enjoyable .He works hard to earn the money while she spends hard to provide the good materialistic life.
Today, many women have high paying jobs and they do not rely on their men to pay for their shopping's. They have complete freedom to buy whatever they wanted without any complains from their men.
Otherwise , he would be scrutinizing every items she purchased and would come in for some heavy criticisms on her wasteful and spendthrift ways.
If she has to depend on her man , she will have to be very careful about how to spend or what to buy least she incurs his anger.
In the Asia region , women from Hong Kong are the most financially independent followed by the mainland Chinese and Singapore. Women from these countries have equal say with their men.
Even though the women are financially independent, they do expect the men to play their traditional roles of the main breadwinner. They expect the men to pay for all those bills and household expenses unless he is unable or beyond his abilities.
They are reluctant to pay and only grudgingly pay when forced by the circumstances.
What is yours is theirs and what is theirs is theirs.
Shopping can be therapeutics and a stress reliever. If they are not happy or felt stressful , a walk in those shopping malls would free their minds and they will feel their gloom's are no more. Women think of shopping every few minutes.
Women would rather shop alone or with their g/f's than with their man because of the man's attitudes . They would look bored, frustrated or uncooperative. They would stand outside the shop or find some seats and wait for her.Some of them would not be able to help her and ask her to decide for herself.
Having a man tagging on a shopping trip is like having a dark cloud following you and the cloud is heavy laden and waiting to pour..LOL!
From the man's perspective, they simply do not understand why women would enter every shop to look for a pair of shoes or even walk through all the shopping malls in the vicinity until they find the shoes they like.It is really hard to please a woman, so fussy and fastidious shopper.
You cannot really blame them because those shopping trips are to those shops which sells woman's products like clothing, accessories, skin care products and cosmetics in which they have absolutely no interest.
If women don't spend, then many business will have to pack their bags and close shop.

A car is no more a luxury but a necessity for many folks.In places where there are no public transportation, getting to another place can be a big problem if you do not have a car.
Having a car is like having wings and you can go anywhere you wish.The car can be a great help but it can also be a death trap .
You should not leave your children locked in your car for extended length of time under the hot sun . They can die from the high temperature generated by the hot sun as the car can be turned into an oven or if the air conditioning is on, the emission gas from the engine, carbon monoxide may seeped in through the cracks and holes in the car’s body compartments and those children will inhaled them and die.
They should wind down the window a bit so that fresh air can enter and any carbon monoxide can escape .
‘If it’s in direct sunlight, you can easily get temperatures of 130 or 140 degrees (60degC) in a car in 10 or 15 minutes,’
This single mother in Hanahan, South Carolina, left her two kids,1-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son in her car, parked on a street with a battery-powered fan, food and drinks.The sweltering heat was too high . When she reached her car,she found them unconscious.
Instead of taking them to the hospital , she took them home and later those kids died.The children would not have died if her babysitter was not sick on that day.This is such a calamity and our hearts goes out to her.
There have been many other cases where the victims are usually children who are left unattended in a car and the engine running or shut off.
Sometimes, they get off the car to buy something nearby with the engine running and the door unlocked and their car gets hijacked with the infant in it.
Life is precious. Take precautions and observe those safety measures to ensure that such incidents do not happen to your kids.
