What's the Difference Between a Cemetery and a Graveyard?
Some people don't know the differences between a cemetery and a graveyard. They speak the first word that comes out of their mouth without giving it much thought. I am a wordsmith. Therefore, using the correct words is always important to me. I care about being precise when it comes to words and their real meanings.

They say that the key to invention is the need for function. The same goes for fashion. Most of what is modern day fashion is derived from functional design. More specifically, it is amazing how much of our modern day essentials come from military need. From tampons to duffle bags, sunglasses to outerwear, so much of our current every day life has evolved from war based design. Below are three of my favorite every day wardrobe essentials that were originally designed for wartime.

Why my Dad was hard on me
My Dad was hard on me but not negatively, it was more about him really pushing me and my siblings very hard on studies and being disciplined. He really went out of his way to push us to study, work hard in everything we did and avoid games, when I say hard I mean really hard. To kind of put things into perspective, there were nothing like public holidays, outings or celebrations, any single opportunity he had with us at home, you could be sure we’ll be hitting the books, every Saturday and Sundays saw us homeschooled; birthdays, new years, public holidays etc any time he was home with us, you could be sure of one thing, there was no playing around. Whenever he returned home he was quick to put an end to any and every semblance of play, we could only put in some game time or even watch Tv when he wasn’t at home, it became some kind of cat and mouse game to some extent, LoL We’ll all be wishing he goes out so that we could have time to watch some Tv and whenever we heard the sound of his car at the gate, that would be like the red alert and everyone would run in a frenzy trying to find a book to pretend to be reading.
