  4. Well, share you myth..fic/factional answers aight.. For me, I've recently found out that it's got something to do with During the war betweeen Ethiopians and Ahmed Gurey, (Somali Hero). his army would attack at night whenever the ethiopians tried lit fire to cook at night...so they decided not cook at all and instead eat as it's.. dang..LOL swear..ain't that something or what? holla
  5. Well, I'm not sure cuz me dont live there. but am sure our Nomad Londoners could answer that... So, I guess I would suggest you keep flipping chanel..till u see Maryooley face..lol that's if u got Satelite.. Holla
  6. Waryaa KK dhibleey, dhaaf nooh Martida... well, to come back to your question, Yeah, long distance relationships can work. Let's not be fooled, a lot of them don't. Then again, a lot of short distance relationships don't work as well. I think we should look at the elements of a relationship if we're going to have a discussion about whether or not LDRs work. There are certain things that must be present in any relationship, if it is to work. Chemistry, there really is such a thing and it is important to a relationship. Do you have that burning passion or chemistry for that person. The idea of being "in love" with him or her and not just loving that person. Care, do you care your and your partner's wellbeing? It's important in a relationship. Passion, little different from the passion that I spoke about in chemistry. This passion is more of a dating type of passion--can they take you and make the simplest thing into a great evening at which the end you just want to be with them for ever. Romance--do they do the little things? And last but certainly not least, physical relationship. A physical relationship doesn't have to include, nor exclude, sex. But let's be realistic here. Is there anyone out there that doesn't like kissing, hugging, touching, being in close proximity to someone else? Well, these are just a few of my many unorganized thoughts on the subject. I think it is possible, but as any other relationship, not a guarenteed thing. Good luck, everyone, with your LDRs: stick with 'em, trust your partner, and let what happens happen.
  7. For those Londoner Nomads, I hope ya all gonna like this...I run into this news..so let us know if one our Nomadz happen to be on there... Students are to record the history of Leicester's Somali community in a series of television programmes. Pupils at Regent College believe Leicester's 10,000 Somalis have many stories to tell. Some came to the UK from Scandinavia, many more from the Netherlands and many came as refugees from civil war in their homeland. For young Somalis, England may be the third country they have lived in. Somali students at the college have offered their experiences in making the programmes. The programmes will be the first dedicated to the Somali experience in the UK. The series, called Somali Vision TV, will feature 13, 30-minute episodes which will be shown in May on MATV. The programmes will be shown on Saturday evenings and repeated on Sundays. Source: Mercury News
  8. I run into this article and was like...dang they still doing research..on something which we, muslims, were doing for thousands years ago..and knew about it. I guess we won't be surprise if we see non-muslim peepz saying..hey..I can't have that..cuz I'm fasting you know..lol. Fasting may improve health ASSOCIATED PRESS April 28 — Periodic fasting can be just as good for a person’s health as sharply cutting back on calories, even if the fasting doesn’t mean eating less overall, a new study indicates. RESEARCHERS ARE now planning to see if what works in mice is also good for people. Several recent studies have reported a variety of benefits from a sharply restricted diet, including longer life span, increased insulin sensitivity and stress resistance. In the new report, mice that were fed only every other day — but could gorge on the days they did eat — saw similar health benefits to ones that had their diet reduced by 40 percent, a team of researchers reports in Tuesday’s online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The cause of health improvements from cutting back on diet isn’t fully understood, though many researchers had assumed that a long-term reduction in calories was involved. BENEFIT EQUAL TO CUTTING CALORIES But the new study by Mark P. Mattson and colleagues at the National Institute on Aging found equal benefits for mice that ate only every other day, but didn’t cut total calories because they ate twice as much on days they weren’t fasting. Mattson said a study is in the planning stages to compare the health of a group of people fed the normal three meals a day with a similar group, eating the same diet and amount of food, but consuming it within four hours and then fasting for 20 hours before eating again. “Overeating is a big problem now in this country, it’s particularly troublesome that a lot of children are overweight. It’s still unclear the best way to somehow get people to eat less .... One possibility is skipping a meal a day,” Mattson said. “Our study suggests that skipping meals is not bad for you.” Dr. Carol A. Braunschweig of the University of Illinois at Chicago, who was not part of the study team, said she was intrigued by the suggestion that a drastic change in eating patterns might have benefits. FINDINGS MIGHT FIGHT OBESITY “With the current epidemic of obesity and physical inactivity facing the U.S. today, identification of a beneficial eating pattern that could address some of the untoward effects of excess weight would be a very significant finding,” she said. Mattson said an earlier study found that mice that fasted every other day had extended lifespans and the new experiment found the mice also did better in factors involved in diabetes and nerve damage in the brain similar to Alzheimer’s disease. “We think what happens is going without food imposes a mild stress on cells and cells respond by increasing their ability to cope with more severe stress,” Mattson said. “It’s sort of analogous to physical effects of exercise on muscle cells.” He said the researchers think this stress occurs throughout the body, and that may be the reason fasting seems to increase lifespan and the animals become more resistant to the diseases of aging. The dieting mice consumed 40 percent less food than mice eating normally and lost nearly half their body weight (49 percent) in the experiment, while the fasting mice weighed only a little less than mice eating normally. In recent years, some nutritionists have recommended eating smaller amounts more often, but this study did not deal with that type of eating pattern. In the new report, the researchers said both the fasting mice and those on a restricted diet had concentrations of blood sugar and insulin that were significantly lower than mice allowed to eat whenever they wanted. Indeed, insulin levels in the fasting mice were even a bit lower than the dieting ones. FASTING BRAINS RESIST TOXIN At the end of the experiment all three groups of mice were injected with a toxin that damages cells in the part of the brain called the hippocampus. It’s cell damage there that that is involved in Alzheimer’s in humans. When the mouse brains were later analyzed the scientists found that the brains of the fasting mice were more resistant to damage by the toxin than the brains of either dieting mice or those eating normally.
  9. LOL ahahaha STHLM Lady..U got jokes...But I feel ya, just press the shutdown button...did you say you only know how to get on SOL and Hotmail..? What bout my website??u telling me u dont' know how to get there? huh...

  14. Thanks KOOL_Kat. Ya'all should stop categorizing the nomads here. It ain't cool. There are many nice, smart, talented dudes and dudettes here and they dont' need nobody's approval namean? Stay one nomads.
  15. I am feeling this debate lately cuz it is calm and people are asking legit questions based on their feelings namean?. No attacks namean?. Gediid and hassan are doing a cool job. much respect! Now, back to the topic Gediid, If some tribes in Somaliland don't want to be part of the separation, WHAT DO YOU DO? Now, if my brother GEDIID doesn't believe in those areas choosing to stay part of Somalia before succession can take place, then he is not practicing what he is preaching... feel me? Any Somalilander who is against other tribes choosing their destiny is concerned mainly with his clan dominating others. Let us be honest. It will not work This is the same thing the north hated about Siyaad Barre namean?. Simple. one luv

  21. It is like a warm summer's eve, Like a winter's night in front of a cozy fire, You sometimes feel that you are on fire, A fire burning right from your heart. You feel that you can tell them everything, And know that they will understand. You know that no matter what happens, They will be there to help, When you are down, they will be there always. It can feel like you are floating And that nothing can touch you or hurt you. This is what true love feels like.
  22. BEING IN LOVE... Being in love includes some of the excitement of infatuation, especially in the beginning days and weeks of a relationship. There is the excitement of hearing your sweetie's voice on the telephone or staying up all night talking or the giddiness of finding out the things you have in common. Eventually, the newness of the relationship wears off and the "spark" may not be as strong; but this doesn't mean the relationship is over. This is normal and it's the point where you have to look at your feelings for the other person and figure out if you are losing interest, or whether your feelings are simply developing toward a higher level- more intense and lasting love. LOVING SOMEONE ... Loving someone and building a solid relationship is an ongoing process; it will be filled with conflicts and resolutions and should never be taken for granted. To love or to be loved is the greatest gift one can give or receive from another. Hope this helped aight....if not.. call up Doc Phil aight....lol
