Medlabgirl,
I got this post from actual searching for you.

@Medlabgal; if ure under the age of 42, not overweight and even "ok" in the looks department, then holla at your boy. If u are none of the above, um,ah, we can keep it strictly Nairaland chatting, 'na mean?lol





I no fit laff .

I am 36 buddy, and you would need a spade to pick your jaw off the floor if you saw me; sorry to be immodest. That's part of the problem I have always had. Men cannot seem to get past my physical appearance, and when they finally do, it becomes a competition to try to prove that they are as smart as they perceive me to be. I don tire.

I really have to say that I do not at this point in my life want a man on the lover level; and no I DO NOT WANT A WOMAN EITHER; I don't swing that way.( As I repeatedly had to tell this woman who tried to pick me up in English Bay on a recent trip to Vancouver BC.)

I would love to have a friend about my age +\- 6 years with whom I could watch Jeopardy, or sit in front of a bookstore and have a coffee with, while watching the world go by, and of course making fun of people, come on we all do it sometimes.

I would love to once again have a small circle of friends whom I could cook up my famous Ogbono or Egusi soup with stockfish and then pretend its no big deal when they try to eat their fingers as well, I could go on and on. Hope life is treating all you NLanders well. I will keep trying to pick up with this thread

Rothstein:
do u miss him now?

Medlabgirl:

Hi there Rothstein; I am now cracking my brains trying to discover the etymology of your NL handle; abi you be Nigerian-Jew?

Thanks for the compliments. Per your question, I can't really say that I miss him as a husband and lover because there were too many bad times, but having said that, you can't spend 10 years with a person and then they just disappear from your thoughts. For e.g. I am 5'8" tall, but he was 6'3", and now anytime I get on a stool to get something off my highest shelves in the kitchen, I cannot help remembering him saying "you for eat beans when you dey small" as I always used to have him reach for things. Although truly 5'8" is tall for a woman I think.

Medlabgirl:
@ Gilbertman, thanks for your kindness. I am glad I helped get you onto NLand. I do know about Mexico in terms of places like Cancun being a vacationers spot, the H1N1 scare of 2009 notwithstanding. I was asking how is it in terms of being a Nigerian living there, and trying to support yourself and the family back home like you mentioned if I am not mistaken.

Yes characterwise I can be somewhat feisty, but my youngest sister calls me "Ferrero" as in Ferrero Rocher because she says I am like the much celebrated chocolate, all prickly on the outside, but a gooey mush on the inside.

Gilbertman:

Where are you now? Still in CA?
