7of9 said, Adoption has its own stipulations. Read up ppl Can someone pls. clarify? Your making me nervous coz adoption is something I feel strongly about. It's one of my life goals to raise a somali orphan once I'me finacially secure...husband or no husband, inshaallah. Ppl(in general)bring kids into the world for their own selfish & arrogant reasons.

Mucho Gracias amigo Castro for the warm welcome, I'm touched.

Fidel said,^^^ You do know that #9 is haraam, don't you? I can google the fatwa for you if you like. Subhanallah, in this lifetime Allah will show one everything...even the impossible!! Fidel, did you just mention haraam and fatwa in the same sentence?? What is the world coming too?? Miracles do happen :rolleyes: , I've been thinking about buddhism lately.

7of9, way to go sis and thanks for the ever so eloquently phrased national anthem of not to many self-respecting women. It was hard trying to choose which list item was my favorite but after much delegation I've choose #9,11 and of course my fav. #12.

Fidel, it's sad to say but many mothers and female relatives TODAY try to pass that crap onto younger generation. An aquaintance of mine got married this summer. The week before her wedding night. Her mom and married female relatives ganged up on her with a list almost identical to this list. The most bizarre rule (in my opinion) was never ever say no to your husband's sexual needs or timing! Couldn't believe my ears when I heard that, I know what islam says about it but who wants a dead fish to copulate with?!

It's not bush fail or anyone else.This was met to happen guys.So stop with the blame game and come back to ya'll senses! That's the ultimate republican response!! Pray whose fault is it then, isn't this why we all pay taxes up the wazoo. I was humbled this morning. People, I never thought would give a damn about the situation are helping. Can we say the same about ourselves incl. myself??? I ran into my landlord this morning. It's football season and on home game day. You can't find anywhere to park on campus. Property owners on campus use every inch of their property to charge for parking. Heck, you have to swing around cars just to partially open the front door. I asked him "do you make money off this?" He replied, yes I made $800 last Sat and my wife and I found businesses that would match any donations made for hurricane Katrina. Their donation was tripled to $3,200. The most amazing thing he's trying to offer his vacant apartments (which isn't even in the south)to victims of the hurricane if their willing to move to our city for FREE!! But bureaucracy being what it isn't happy. Our city officials says landlords can't offer free rent to hurricane victims and not to other homeless ppl. So whose to blame for a system that won't allow ppl to help?? The govmt!!

Mashallah, how pleasing a view on these tired eyes aaaaahh. Even though replies have finally died down no thanxs to fidel. I have to add my 2 cents. Bro if your a nomad as was mentioned, congrats on your determination, self-control and amazing results. To quote another nomad that's one "hot hot" body. Fwd'ed to all my friends, those pics are too delicious to not share.
