    For many people snoring might not rank up there with some of the
    other 'big' connection deal breakers, but if you occur to be the
    snoree who lies awake evening right after evening, listening to ear shattering noises and you are unable to acquire a superb night's rest due to the snoring, you may disagree. And if your snoring companion refuses to know what a unfavorable influence his or her snoring is obtaining on you and they refuse to accomplish anything about it, you would probably start contemplating some alternatives arrangements. This could contain separate sleeping arrangements, but once again this may also negatively impacts the intimacy inside a connection, or adjustments to the partnership itself.

El Día en que el Sol se Apago en el Cielo

Los Muiscas eran enemigos de todo lo malo.  Siempre habían respetado los consejos del gran Bochica. "Yo les ayudaré mientras sean laboriosos y honestos", les prometió antes de írse y así fue.  La lluvia nunca falto, semillas crecieron, el Sol calento, las cosechas eran copiosas.  Mazorcas y papas siempre hubo en el altar. La gente vivía en paz parecía que la maldad había desaparecido, mas no era cierto, sólo se habia escondido, dentro de las almas oscuras en las grietas de las montañas; le tenía miedo a la luz del día, al Sol que Bochica había puesto en el cielo. Una noche los espíritus de la envidia, de la discordia, de la furia y de la infidelidad resolvieron reunirse. En ese entonces como eran hipócritas no se atrevían a mostrar la cara en el día, y se preguntaban:  Cómo es que los hombres no se pelean, porque andan tan contentos y trabajan todo el día, le agradecen a Dios y respetan a sus mayores y a sus mujeres?.  Esto no puede continuar!  Agregaron: " Tenem

Cartagena was the focus of trade between South America and the rest of the world thanks to its position on the Caribbean and deep-water harbour; gold and silver plundered from the Incas were transported back to Spain from here, in annual convoys. Other European nations knew this, and pirates and buccaneers from France and England had sacked and looted Cartagena on previous occasions; Robert Baal in 1544, Martin Cote in 1569, and Sir Francis Drake in 1586. In each instance, building were destroyed in addition to huge ransoms being extracted, so the resident Governor, using local merchants’ money, started building a fort in the 17th century. The most imposing structure in Cartagena became the trapezoid-shaped Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas. It has no vertical walls, and was designed to deflect cannon balls much like the Stealth Bomber deflects radar. The fort was completed in 1654, and though continually improved and strengthened in ensuing years, Cartagena was taken again by the Fren

Leyendas de mi Tierra

Hoy les contare una fabulosa leyenda del Caribe, que llega a mi memoria luego de encontrarme con Esther, una buena muchacha que ayuda a mi madre con los quehaceres y cuya familia ha estado vinculada a la mia por muchos anos, gente buena y leal muy creyentes y trabajadores. Su tia la Senora Ines, trabajo para mi abuela, mi madre y mis tias por mucho tiempo y solia contarme fabulosas historias de su imaginario y de la memoria popular de su pueblo "Mahates". LA MAMONUA Dice la leyenda de los pueblos del Dique, que aquellos pescadores extraviados, los campesinos que perdian su rumbo, los corraleros sin fortuna o simplemente aquellos borrachitos reincidentes, solian encontrarse con una enorme bestia, que al principio parecia ser una bella mujer de grandes y seductores pechos, pero que una vez que los atraia a la orilla del agua se tornaba en una bestia de gran cabeza que abria sus fauces para llevarlos a las profundidades causando un gran resplandor.
