Hi everyone,
I've got a little problem with GP Primary Navigation.
I set the colour I want, but the moment I move away from it, an unattractive white stripe containi
Hi feigner,
Thanks so much! 'd be grateful if you took a look.
https://jambhalawealth.com/how-to-attract-health-wealth-and-happiness-with-jambhala/
It's happening on other sites using GP too.
i have had a quick look at the site and the menu background stays yellow if i hover or move away...
not so keen on the colours - neither is the accessibility tool and says there is not enough contrast....
what browser are you using....
if firefox then when you visit your site -click the padlock next to the url and clear sitecookies and data....then oress f5 to refresh and see if that clears the error...
it is not showing any white for me, but maybe a default if the computer cannot resolve an issue...
I agree with clearing your cashe.
Also, try to minimize how many pages you open at one time. You may have made changes, yet, they are not yet reflected because you're looking at the wrong pager.
Or, by refreshing the page, the new changes appear.

Feigner, you're great! Thank you!! I'm using Google Chrome and I cleared the cookies this morning!
Yes, I'm experimenting with the colour scheme but coming round to black and white in the end.
Glad you're not seeing this strange white stripe.
Thanks so much! 😎
Like Eric said, play around with it. Under colors, navigation, you options for the tab background as well as the tab colors. If tou still need help, let us know!
Rudy
Will do Rudy!
How the hell are you? I'm sorry. I'm SO busy with a million and one things—not much time for chatting. But I haven't forgotten about your LinkedIn profile.
Let me know where you're up to! I'm there all the time these days so really in touch with it!!
This white stripe occurs only on pc view. It's fine on mobiles. Nope! Tried everything in colours and layout - primary navigation. Can't find anything indicating a white background.
Hi there!
Oh yes, I've seen your activity on LinkedIn...grin.
I've also been busy paring down, have made some changes, and am looking forward to imolementing the new stuff.
No worries, we will catch up soon!
Rudy
Great Rudy! Glad we're working together, even though there's not much time to fraternize!
Hope the pool is going well!

This is because the you need to change the color of those navigation headings as well. 😎👍🏼 Keep playing with it and you’ll find there’s another selection and color change to be made so that the entire thing matches 💯

Hi Abie+, yes, thank you! Tt was the browser. Chrome seems to get really clogged up quickly these days! Once I'd cleared the cache, it worked fine.
Thanks for checking anyway! And my space problem is cured too - using categories has really sorted that out!
Hope you're thriving and happy! 🍆🌺🤫
That's so great to hear, Lindi, I am glad you have your issues resolved :) Stay cool and enjoy the weekend.

Hi everyone, I've got so many posts on my websites now that the drop-down menus from my primary navigation are threatening to run off the screen!! LOL.
So, what's the be
Yep, exactly as Abie and Phil have said about having CATEGORIES as your menu items (although, they have a slightly different outlook from each other, LOL).
Okay, as an estimate, you can probably expect around 95% + of your visitors to make their way to your website VIA AN INDIVIDUAL ARTICLE.
This will typically be via links you've shared, say on social media, or if you are ranking for individual keywords in the search engines.
BUT
The point remains the same, the vast majority of visitors will come to your website via one of your individual articles.
The aim is to keep people on your website for longer or for them to perform an action that has the potential to earn you some money.
In order to keep people on your website for longer while visiting an individual article you should have internal links on EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE on your website.
These internal links should point to other articles on your website that are RELEVANT to what you have discussed in THAT SECTION of the article.
Another way to keep visitors on your site is through your TOP MENU and even your SIDEBAR.
BUT
you want to make this as EASY as possible while ensuring navigation appears simple and quick.
Therefore, as you've noticed yourself, having a large dropdown menu with loads of articles looks kinda "messy".
Messy = offputting = potential for people to leave your website
Plus, don't forget that a website is a business, and most of us start a business thinking that this is something we will do for the rest of our lives until we no longer can or want to.
Essentially, looking at a website in this respect you could easily have 10,000 articles on it by the time you "retire".
Clearly, you don't want those all showing in your menu items.
Okay, here's the "easiest" way.
All your "legal" pages and contact stuff, place them in the FOOTER MENU (so at the bottom of the page), this will contain your affiliate disclosure, privacy policy, dependent on niche, a health/medical disclaimer, and a contact form.
DONE
For your TOP MENU, you want to make navigation as easy as possible to ensure visitors "stay on your website".
So, the easiest menu items to have are HOME, then list ALL your categories, the ONLY thing I would have as a dropdown item is if some of your categories have a subcategory.
e.g. Category is "WordPress Tips & Tricks" and you have dropdown SUB-categories, such as WordPress Themes, WordPress plugins, etc.
But, apart from that, JUST have the actual category as a menu item.
As Abie has mentioned, it's pretty simple to just add the category url to the category menu item and then just leave it at that.
So, your top menu simply shows HOME and your categories, and if someone clicks on any item they will immediately be taken to that category page.
The only other thing I would have, based on what you've said, is to have a Menu Item That says something like:
My #1 Make Money Online Recommendation
And then for THAT menu item, you add the url for your Wealthy Affiliate Review.
Doing this means that whenever anyone clicks on one of your menu items they will be taken to a different page, i.e. no dropdown menus and they "leave" your homepage.
Hope that all makes sense.

Thanks Partha! what a great solution - almost a post in its own right! Thanks so much!!
It makes perfect sense!

Hi Charley! Have a look at Putting your content into categories How to Add Categories to Your Main Menu I hope this helps.
Thanks Brian. Yes, I do know how to do this but it’s great to have this resource! thanks so much!
Blessings! I’m spoiled with so much help!
🙏🏼
There's also MEGA Menus that you can use.
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-a-mega-menu-on-your-wordpress-site-step-by-step/
I use the Blocksy Agency theme, and Mega Menus are part of the premium theme, which is all built-in. I can add media files to make it look appealing and interactive :)
This is great! I'll look into it!
You're a gem and a genie! 🍆🌸🙏🏼🍺
It's beer night tonight!! Yippeee!!!!
You can hover over posts and click categories.
Create as many categories as you like; don't forget to add the slug.
Then, you can head to Appearance > Menus, and provided you create a menu first, you can start adding those categories.
Then, you can head to your posts and assign them to their respective categories. You can assign a post to more than one category.
So, when folks click on a specific category, they can see all related posts.
Hi Abie+. Thank you.
So, in my top navigation menu, should I only show categories?
I've got a list of categories in my side bar, too.
But that doesn't really answer the question about an excess of posts. Where can I store them so they're still accessible? In the categories list and not add them to the top navigation?
Yeah, you can do that; it's not an issue. Also, be aware that folks may land on any page of your website.
I won't list individual posts in the navigation except for the About Me post, Affiliate Disclosure and contact page, and any specific recommendable page, for example, "The Wealthy Affiliate Review" - unless I have a Mega Menu, then I can feature some articles include an audio or video file per category and other links where I strategically think folks should see and click.
Listing all is not a viable strategy.
It's totally of sorts... lol I love my courgettes with yogurt cooked in a specific way with an egg stirred over low heat without bringing it to a boil. Then add ghee... The courgettes are stuffed with rice, lamb, nuts and spices.
OOOOO! I’m faint with ecstasy of anticipation. That sounds superb! I adore lamb and ghee! So it’s a kind of pilaf courgette? Gorgeous! I think Indian spices are the be-all! Do you grind your own?
I travelled around India for 6 months once and learned from some of the greatest chefs on Earth!
It’s time to sleep here so you can be sure of what I will be dreaming of! Thank you for this superb bedtime story!!
🇮🇳????🥺
I learned that recipe when we visited Bahrain :) It was a while ago, and I still do them: salt, pepper, dried mint, and seven-spice mix. Yeah, I have pestle and mortar :)
Goodnight Lindi, sleep well...
You're among the few people I know who will admit to owning a pestle and mortar! I think it's heavenly grinding spices by hand.
Bahrain? Mmmm. It's a beautiful place, but it's so troubled nowadays! Shame! I'm glad you were there when it was going well.
I hope you are sleeping well, cocooned in your wrapping of burgeoning eggplants and decadent flowering courgettes!
I have some more ideas for products on your eggplant site!
Later!
Lindi
🙏🏼😘🍆
PS: We should complain to Emoji because the selection does not include a single courgette or courgette flower. Is there one?
Lol, I looked that up, too :) There isn't... Maybe they don't like courgettes, lol. I am giggling here :)
I came up with a brilliant idea just yesterday :)
Children’s Educational Content, with storytelling covering the topic and a specific character I have in mind. I have started the structuring, lol. What do you think?
Hi Abie+, everyone who jumped in to help,
I just wanted to let you know that I succeeded with categories—they make everything much neater and better organized for me, too! So, I knuckled down and chose my categories more carefully.
I've also looked at mega menus and think I will use this when the coast is clear. I'm so glad to know about it!
🌺🍆🌸😎
Abie+, Good Day/Night!! Have a good day/night! etc. LOL!
Here's an addition for the aubersite (oversite, ha)). I'm enjoying playing with these words.
This is an aubercoat to get to school in the rhubarb patch!
How 's the story coming?
Thank you Abie+. Don't worry about being late!!
Btw, what d'you think of the aubercoat?
Have a great day harvesting and snipping ripe fruit from the stem!! 🍆🌸
Don't archive them, just make sure that each one has the applicable categories.
Then make your drop-down menu item categories. Each category will contain the relevant blog posts.
Hi Phil. Thank you.
Yes, I've done that, but in some categories, I've got more posts, so they go on past the bottom of the scroll and are difficult to select. I don't want to have too many headings in my top menu, but do you think I should just add more categories there?
And there will come a point where I can't fit them all in coz I'm creating them like wildfire! What then?
I've installed the WP archive plugin.
Lindi
Hope everything's going well!
I simply don't have any issue with long drop-downs. They emphasize that I have lots of content.

Hi everyone,
I've just read a disturbing article indicating that images we create may not be acceptable and stock photos would be preferable. Has anyone heard that this
There has been talk about “watermarking” AI images so they can’t be used in content, but that hasn’t happened and I suspect people would find a way to defeat it.
The best practice is to be transparent about our use of AI.
AI is here to stay, but it is up to us to use it appropriately. 😎
Frank 🎸
Adobe Firefly images are watermarked, but at the bottom, so easy to crop out if you want to.
That’s all I use, too, Phil. $20 US/month is a gift, especially with DALL-E 3 integration. 😎
Yes, I agree. Must sign up, but I'm enjoying the free version very much.
Hi Phil & FrankB
Have a productive day! 🌸
Very true, Abie, but it's coming to the point where it's quicker for people to generate their own unique images than steal them from others. Lol
Transparency simply fosters trust among others. 😎
Frank 🎸
Absolutely!
What kind of disclaimers do you recommend - captions or something in the footer/sidebar?
In other words, how much attention do we need to bring to our use of AI?
Btw, Kyle assured me that there will be no bans on AI images, but there will be a few regulations to come, like adding a disclaimer.
Have a great day. I'm enjoying this discussion. 🌸
You can add a statement saying something like “article written with AI assistance,” etc. There’s no particular location it needs to be added.
For images you could do something similar.
I’m a big proponent of full transparency in all things and I don’t like the “pretense” of expertise, which is commonly seen in online marketing.
Frank 🎸
Hi Frank. Thank you! Me neither. Full-frontal transparency is my way!
Great! I'll adopt your technique from now on.
Blessings and Success. 🌸🌺
Well, how can the ban images you already created and downloaded? How will they know they are ai create to ban them?
Hi Mark, thanks for joining in. A bit shocking. I should imagine they could tell from the URL.
As Phil said, perhaps they can't touch us on our own websites. But my concern is SM and the like!
You never know, WP might jump on the bandwagon and create some rules!
So, we'll just go ahead peppering our fabulous original voice content with imaginative AI images created from our unique words, eh! Yep! I think so.
Perhaps we should ask Kyle if he's heard anything? I'm beginning to think this article's a bit scaremongering - btw, it was created by a WA and I just reviewed it.
That's another brain wave - must be the eggplants!!
May I ask which tool you think is best for that, Abie+?
D'you mind me picking your brains like this, btw?
Right, that's good to know. So, if they're watermarked, no one else can use them, and they are legally your property! Brilliant!
I'll adopt that method if you don't mind! Seems the best way!
🥰 Thank you!!
When they're indexed in Serps, folks can read the URL mark, hopefully, some traffic, lol
So each image has a url! Of course. This surely makes it legitimate?
I've just dropped Kyle a line to see what his latest is so I'll feed back his response when it comes.
Eggplant Cheers for dinner tonight/tomorrow!? Hic!!! Don't know which timezone you're in. 🍆🌸🍷
So, that means it's your file/folder? It's copyrighted to you?
But you think I need to also add a watermark on Canve to be sure, do you?
AI images, once created, cannot be duplicated, so if someone saves your image to their device and later decides to use it. What's there to stop them? They can still edit the image and remove the watermark... How successful? I don't know...
MMmmm! OK. Good to know. I'll look into this more deeply.
It's an interesting situation, isn't it?
Yup, I once asked this question... There are no laws as of yet... For example, Leonardo.AI images can be used for commercials as well. I think I would read up on the small print of whatever tool you use :)
Good advice! I will.
😞 Must go to sleep! it's late in the Land of the Rising Sun!
great to talk to you Abie+ as always!
We'll continue this debate another time!
🍆 dreams!
Acceptable where? No one can tell you that you can't use an AI generated image on your own website. Other platforms, such as Amazon and Google Ads, will make their own decisions but I'd find a ban very unlikely.
Now, I get an image from a stock photo website input in GPT4 and ask it to do another similar to the photo.
It will be an AI image, which is pretty cool.
Hi Phil,
On my websites and Social Media, e.g. LinkedIn, FB, etc.
So we have full jurisdiction over our own real estate? That's for sure?
Yes, I just can't see how they can regulate this.
I can understand it on Amazon and Google Ads!
Hope you're well and productive!! 😍
He Abie+, That's a nifty idea. So you're copying but asking for a slightly different version?
Mmmmm! 🍆🤔 That calls for an eggplant, doesn't it?
Ps: LOL. I'm sure no-one can understand our secret symbols eh!!
I often see questions along the lines of "can I do this on my site" and my answer is always that as long as it's legal, it's your site and you can do anything you want.
OOOOOh!! They'er beautiful purple baubles!! Gorgeous. And I guess they're organic and pure as the driven snow!
My mouth is watering! Yum!
So is it eggplant toast today or some other Abie+ gourmet delicacy? 🤤
We had eggplants yesterday lolol
And Moussaka, the day before... I have more in my pantry lolol
Absolutely 100% organic...
Mmmm! Eternal Heaven. I used to grow them, and I just adored the flowers. Aren't they gorgeous! They are the perfect plant for me!! Flowers and Fruit are divine.
I like to soak them in oil, wind them around asparagus or sausages, and then grill/BBQ them.
I also love Moussaka! I've even made eggplant meatloaf with no meat!
Oh yum!! I feel spoiled lolol
Or also have some gorgeous courgettes grilled the same way... They will compliment the dish. 🍆🍆😋
Courgettes are even more my favourite! I adore them, flowers and fruit alike.
Do you grow those as well?
Yes, they would go so well!!
I think we should set up an online restaurant called 'YUM.'
🍆🍷🌺
Lol, Not yet, but I'm looking forward to it. :) I love them grilled or fried with some salt and fresh lemon. Oh yum!
Also, you can take the insides of a courgette with a special tool and fry it with eggs; that's yummy, too!
Or stuff the courgette and have it oven-baked or stewed with yogurt :)
I booked a niche specifically dedicated to eggplants - from farming to harvesting to cooking and trading... the whole works.
🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️
They really do sound yummy, Abie. I've always liked aubergines but you two have taken it to another level.
I appreciate your kind wishes, Phil :) GPT4 does the images, lol. They're perfect; you don't get them the same in real life.
You do not have to find the right prompt; give the bot a similar image, and it will do it for you.
I reckon it will be 40 to 70 posts to cover the whole topic :) It depends on how much in-depth I am willing to go.
Excellent!!! Definitely?
I think that will do superbly well!
🧞♀️ - you should call it The Aubergine Genie! 🌸
Me too! I'm going to be first to visit!!
Abie+, you must do teeshirts for all your members!!
Abie+'s Aubers and then that wonderful photo!
I appreciate your wishes, Lindi :) 🌸
Wow, that's a great idea... Print-on-demand lolol 🤣🌶️🍆🙏
WOW! That's wonderful Abie+! I love it! Especially the chubby belly! And the watermark - point taken!
So, you're serious about Abie+: Aubergine Genie, are you? You're really making a website dedicated to eggplants???
ps: I'm not sure how much further we can take this???
LOL
Anyway, joke or not, I'm all for it!! 🍆🌺🍆🌺🍆🌺
Where can I order a teeshirt and have you got extra large to accommodate my rather large frontage ?
It's too early for POD, lol.
I have it on the back burner; I am busy with the travel niche. I would need to hire more personnel writers if I go ahead, but I have initiated the idea 🤣🤣🍆🌶️
Custom-designed tees, canvas art, pillows, mugs, etc., with art related to aubergines and all the items included in the Solanaceae family, also known as the nightshade family. The Solanaceae family contains around 3,000 species in 90 genera, and aubergines are berry-producing plants. Other members of the Solanaceae family include tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and tobacco (Excluding that last item).
I better get going with the trademarking and registrations, lol.

Ai images created in bing, etc. may be banned?
Hi everyone,
I've just read a disturbing article indicating that images we create may not be acceptable and stock photos would be preferable. Has anyone heard that this
There has been talk about “watermarking” AI images so they can’t be used in content, but that hasn’t happened and I suspect people would find a way to defeat it.
The best practice is to be transparent about our use of AI.
AI is here to stay, but it is up to us to use it appropriately. 😎

Adobe Firefly images are watermarked, but at the bottom, so easy to crop out if you want to.
That’s all I use, too, Phil. $20 US/month is a gift, especially with DALL-E 3 integration. 😎
Yes, I agree. Must sign up, but I'm enjoying the free version very much.
Hi Phil & FrankB
Have a productive day! 🌸
Very true, Abie, but it's coming to the point where it's quicker for people to generate their own unique images than steal them from others. Lol
Transparency simply fosters trust among others. 😎
Frank 🎸
Absolutely!
What kind of disclaimers do you recommend - captions or something in the footer/sidebar?
In other words, how much attention do we need to bring to our use of AI?
Btw, Kyle assured me that there will be no bans on AI images, but there will be a few regulations to come, like adding a disclaimer.
Have a great day. I'm enjoying this discussion. 🌸
You can add a statement saying something like “article written with AI assistance,” etc. There’s no particular location it needs to be added.
For images you could do something similar.
I’m a big proponent of full transparency in all things and I don’t like the “pretense” of expertise, which is commonly seen in online marketing.

Hi Frank. Thank you! Me neither. Full-frontal transparency is my way!
Great! I'll adopt your technique from now on.
Blessings and Success. 🌸🌺
Well, how can the ban images you already created and downloaded? How will they know they are ai create to ban them?
Hi Mark, thanks for joining in. A bit shocking. I should imagine they could tell from the URL.
As Phil said, perhaps they can't touch us on our own websites. But my concern is SM and the like!
You never know, WP might jump on the bandwagon and create some rules!
So, we'll just go ahead peppering our fabulous original voice content with imaginative AI images created from our unique words, eh! Yep! I think so.
Perhaps we should ask Kyle if he's heard anything? I'm beginning to think this article's a bit scaremongering - btw, it was created by a WA and I just reviewed it.
That's another brain wave - must be the eggplants!!
May I ask which tool you think is best for that, Abie+?
D'you mind me picking your brains like this, btw?
Right, that's good to know. So, if they're watermarked, no one else can use them, and they are legally your property! Brilliant!
I'll adopt that method if you don't mind! Seems the best way!
🥰 Thank you!!
When they're indexed in Serps, folks can read the URL mark, hopefully, some traffic, lol
So each image has a url! Of course. This surely makes it legitimate?
I've just dropped Kyle a line to see what his latest is so I'll feed back his response when it comes.
Eggplant Cheers for dinner tonight/tomorrow!? Hic!!! Don't know which timezone you're in. 🍆🌸🍷
So, that means it's your file/folder? It's copyrighted to you?
But you think I need to also add a watermark on Canve to be sure, do you?
AI images, once created, cannot be duplicated, so if someone saves your image to their device and later decides to use it. What's there to stop them? They can still edit the image and remove the watermark... How successful? I don't know...
MMmmm! OK. Good to know. I'll look into this more deeply.
It's an interesting situation, isn't it?
Yup, I once asked this question... There are no laws as of yet... For example, Leonardo.AI images can be used for commercials as well. I think I would read up on the small print of whatever tool you use :)
Good advice! I will.
😞 Must go to sleep! it's late in the Land of the Rising Sun!
great to talk to you Abie+ as always!
We'll continue this debate another time!
🍆 dreams!
Acceptable where? No one can tell you that you can't use an AI generated image on your own website. Other platforms, such as Amazon and Google Ads, will make their own decisions but I'd find a ban very unlikely.
Now, I get an image from a stock photo website input in GPT4 and ask it to do another similar to the photo.
It will be an AI image, which is pretty cool.
Hi Phil,
On my websites and Social Media, e.g. LinkedIn, FB, etc.
So we have full jurisdiction over our own real estate? That's for sure?
Yes, I just can't see how they can regulate this.
I can understand it on Amazon and Google Ads!
Hope you're well and productive!! 😍
He Abie+, That's a nifty idea. So you're copying but asking for a slightly different version?
Mmmmm! 🍆🤔 That calls for an eggplant, doesn't it?
Ps: LOL. I'm sure no-one can understand our secret symbols eh!!
I often see questions along the lines of "can I do this on my site" and my answer is always that as long as it's legal, it's your site and you can do anything you want.
OOOOOh!! They'er beautiful purple baubles!! Gorgeous. And I guess they're organic and pure as the driven snow!
My mouth is watering! Yum!
So is it eggplant toast today or some other Abie+ gourmet delicacy? 🤤
We had eggplants yesterday lolol
And Moussaka, the day before... I have more in my pantry lolol
Absolutely 100% organic...
Mmmm! Eternal Heaven. I used to grow them, and I just adored the flowers. Aren't they gorgeous! They are the perfect plant for me!! Flowers and Fruit are divine.
I like to soak them in oil, wind them around asparagus or sausages, and then grill/BBQ them.
I also love Moussaka! I've even made eggplant meatloaf with no meat!
Oh yum!! I feel spoiled lolol
Or also have some gorgeous courgettes grilled the same way... They will compliment the dish. 🍆🍆😋
Courgettes are even more my favourite! I adore them, flowers and fruit alike.
Do you grow those as well?
Yes, they would go so well!!
I think we should set up an online restaurant called 'YUM.'
🍆🍷🌺
Lol, Not yet, but I'm looking forward to it. :) I love them grilled or fried with some salt and fresh lemon. Oh yum!
Also, you can take the insides of a courgette with a special tool and fry it with eggs; that's yummy, too!
Or stuff the courgette and have it oven-baked or stewed with yogurt :)
I booked a niche specifically dedicated to eggplants - from farming to harvesting to cooking and trading... the whole works.
🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️🍆🌶️
They really do sound yummy, Abie. I've always liked aubergines but you two have taken it to another level.
I appreciate your kind wishes, Phil :) GPT4 does the images, lol. They're perfect; you don't get them the same in real life.
You do not have to find the right prompt; give the bot a similar image, and it will do it for you.
I reckon it will be 40 to 70 posts to cover the whole topic :) It depends on how much in-depth I am willing to go.
Excellent!!! Definitely?
I think that will do superbly well!
🧞♀️ - you should call it The Aubergine Genie! 🌸
Me too! I'm going to be first to visit!!
Abie+, you must do teeshirts for all your members!!
Abie+'s Aubers and then that wonderful photo!
I appreciate your wishes, Lindi :) 🌸
Wow, that's a great idea... Print-on-demand lolol 🤣🌶️🍆🙏
WOW! That's wonderful Abie+! I love it! Especially the chubby belly! And the watermark - point taken!
So, you're serious about Abie+: Aubergine Genie, are you? You're really making a website dedicated to eggplants???
ps: I'm not sure how much further we can take this???
LOL
Anyway, joke or not, I'm all for it!! 🍆🌺🍆🌺🍆🌺
Where can I order a teeshirt and have you got extra large to accommodate my rather large frontage ?
It's too early for POD, lol.

Can someone help?
Today, I begrudgingly reviewed 2 posts which rather shocked me! One was about all the benefits of chewing cannabis, and the other was an adult TikTok porn
You can click the back arrow on your browser to get out of them if you are not interested, or click away :)
Here, you can find some adult material websites, such as Toys, but not others.
So why did you feel you had to comment?
You do what best resonates with you.
Hi Abie+,
Good question. I thought I was being old-fashioned and should widen my perspective a bit! They were good posts basically and I didn't want to skip as I never had yet.
So, there are no rules about sites we should report?
🌺🍆
There is, however, to what extent these sites are marketing and their topics. If in doubt, always ask :) Like you have done.
OK. Will do Abie+. That's great advice. Only takes a moment to call you up like a genie out of the lamp! 🧞♀️
Thanks so much: 🍆🍆🌺🍆
I wish I were lol I would have gotten myself the thing I most desire lolololol I am doing eggplants today lol 🍆🍆🌺🍆
OOOOO YUM!
I can just see you with your basket harvesting them and throwing their gleaming purple bodies into smoking olive oil and garlic!!
😋
Yeah, once roasted, I peel them and get rid of excess water...
Then I add garlic, lemon, salt, sesame seed paste, yogurt, and extra virgin olive oil.
You can have it with French toast lolol 🍆🍆🌺🍆😋
My hubby eats his fingers afterward and every time. His mood changes to being humorous lololol
HaHa! EggPlant Therapy! Ooo sounds wonderful. Fresh from the field.
French toast? That's an unusual idea. So, when you've taken off the skin the eggplant is like a paste you spread on French Toast?
Once taken off the skin, it is inputted in a food processor with all the other ingredients to make a paste :)
Adding some pomegranate to it :) Elevates the dish further...

Sounds like you have it under control configured. Is that the case?
Hi Abie+, yes, thank you! Tt was the browser. Chrome seems to get really clogged up quickly these days! Once I'd cleared the cache, it worked fine.
Thanks for checking anyway! And my space problem is cured too - using categories has really sorted that out!
Hope you're thriving and happy! 🍆🌺🤫
That's so great to hear, Lindi, I am glad you have your issues resolved :) Stay cool and enjoy the weekend.
will do! 🍆🌸
You're welcome :)
