Are you hooked on something?

Topics on addiction are a bit complex and multi-faceted. Hooked on something meaning addicted to something.  I am not an expert on this.  I will just tell you from what I have learned so far.  There are different kinds of addiction.  There is physiologically and physically habit-forming, dependent on chemical substance.  - what’s your story?
Fortunately for me, my addiction [...]

Untangling Weekends

Life on weekends in the “mina” is predictable.  This is the only time where everybody can loosen up a bit from a whole week’s activity.  Miners here become less tense, less formal or less restrained but for others who have its work shift bumped on weekends, well they have to exert themselves by doing mental [...]
