| Watch the furniture
you buy |
| Furniture! It gives me nightmares sometimes.
I love chic sofas but my near attempt at the idea was blown
when my kids went on rampage with razor blades and crayons.
|
| No middle ground
here |
| There is a longstanding 'joke' about balokole
(born-again Christians) walking up to each other and declaring
that 'God has chosen you for me' (Mukama akuntumye). |

| Hear this, all of you goat race lovers. Things
are not so good for the organisers. There are allegations that
the goat race event has not been so clean after all. |
| Pregnancy goes
stylish |

| Euromania in Kampala |
| There are times when the whole of Kampala gets
soooo crazy about something that not to move with the “in-thing”
is a taboo. |
| Tales of a mistress
turned wife |
| When Sam Kula tied the knot with Pastor Imelda
Namutebi last year, it was after he had jumped right out of
his former wife’s bed. |
| Let’s embrace
Father’s Day |
When my father died in 1982, I was left with
a few memories to treasure.
A cigarette, a radio tuned to BBC and a relaxing chair (mwami
akoye) in which he would recline at the end of the day. |
| ‘God talks
to us’ |
| Nothing is as difficult as trying to explain
to someone who is not a born-again Christian, how God talks
to us! That, now, is an uphill task. |
| Meet the diplomatic
flower girls |
| Friends Sandra Nalumu and Tracy Mulungi Lawino
have every reason to feel on top of the world, but they don’t.

| Watch the car you
buy |
| For many Ugandans, cars are the second most treasured
investment next to their homes. |
| A strict parent?
Think twice |
| While in school, Amos Mukasa never took home
a good report. Not that he was a slow student. |
| Not all that glitters
is gold |
| There are many Pentecostal churches in Uganda
today. Partly due to a revival going on in the body of Christ,
|
| Make your home
smell really fresh |
| Perhaps you have heard of aromatherapy. In simple
terms, aromatherapy brings out the power of aromas |

| Love across the
miles |
| Long distance relationships are always hard and
separations seldom make the heart grow fonder, folk wisdom aside. |
| Heard of the best
bread? |
| Members of Uganda's Food and Beverage Development
Association have been tasting bread baked in Kampala to find
out which is best. |
| Film fete revives
Uganda's culture |
| How was the idea of a film festival in
Uganda conceived? Smits: Well, it was basically what
you would call a crazy idea |
| Potholes come to
my rescue |
| I prefer to travel long distances either at night
or when it's raining. |
| Dreams can come
true |
| How often do you wake up in a sweat after a particularly
bad nightmare and then just turn over in relief that it was
'just a dream'? |
