Jazakallah Khayr Muna Its a great reminder for those of us that need to enhance our knowledge of Islam. Anything that has to do with Islam is greatly appreciated. May Allah lead all of us to the straight path and away from the doings of shaytan.(Amin)

Inaa Lilaahi wainaa Ileyhi Raajicuun. Indeed this is sad news, but we have to remember dhimasho waa waajib. May Allah make us the one's who make their time useful. I personally did not know Maxamed Ismaaciil but i would like to send my condolences to his family and friends. And i pray and hope Allah ino Samar iyo Imaan kasiyo his family and friends. Allaha u naxariisto. Ilaahey waxaan uga baryanaa Maxamed Ismaaciil inuu Janada ka waraabiyo, dambigiisana Ilaahey dhaafo. Amiin.

Ok Nasra I have to say first and foremost this used to be an art that was perfected by women and because so many have lost it we the men have to come up and make sure that what our moms and grannies restapies don’t go down the drain since a lot of the sisters come to view cooking as something that belittles them or at least that’s the impression I usually talk of kitchens etc. It has also come to my attention too that when u go to major restaurants world word and the best of chefs we see men taking over. As for Somalis I tell you what I wouldn’t mind starting a cooking contest between the girls who still got it and those who think they can still do it but prefer having long nails polished than prepare a meal. Its great to see that your Mom did a grand job and taught you how to cook. I have a few friends of mine who depend mainly on take aways and boy have they grown big or what. I guess you would have to blame laziness for their sudden trailers. Believe me some of our moms could cook without ever looking at books as they used their experiences and instinct to make that unforgetable cake, tea or iskuduuuugJ: SHAQSII ARE YOU REFERRING TO ME AS "NASRA" BECAUSE IF SO THAN YOU ARE MISTAKEN...BIG TIME. MY NICK AS YOU CAN SEE IS LUCKY.

YOU KNOW SHAQSII AND SHYHEM, IM GONNA HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU GUYS. FIRST OF ALL ITS NOT ABOUT A MATTER OF THE LADIES FORGETTING THE ART OF COOKING-COOKING IS ONLY AN ART IF YOU ENJOY IT AND IF YOU ADMIRE IT.SECONDLY THERE ARE MANY AND I MEAN MANY EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT COOKS THAT ARE FEMALES.YES MEN NOW A DAYS HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT COOKING IS NOT A FEMALE THING. AND I HAVE SEEN MANY GREAT COOKS THAT ARE MALE, THOUGH I HAVE SEEN VERY FEW THAT ARE SOMALI. AND I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I CAN COOK-MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME HOW TO COOK AT A VERY YOUNG AGE AND I CAN COOK AN EXCEPTIONALLY GREAT MEAL. *ABOUT THE ONION GUYS-I BETCHA YOU WOULD HAVE TEARS IN YOUR EYES AS WELL. YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN TO USE SOME TOOLS OR LEARN HOW TO HANDLE IT. *SHAQSII ABOUT THE UTENSILS AND OVEN AND THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS-COME ON NOW THEY ALL COME WITH SOME SORT OF INSTRUCTIONS FOR THOSE OF US THAT DONT KNOW WHAT OR HOW TO USE THEM. **AND OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS USE A COOK BOOK-CANT GO WRONG WITH THAT. ***BUT THEN AGAIN YOU CAN ALWAYS LEARN IT FROM YOUR MOTHER, AUNT, GRANDMA,OR WIFE THAT KNOWS HOW TO COOK REALLY WELL. I HAVE SAID TOO MUCH, I'LL STOP HERE NOW.

I LIKE ALMOST ALL OF THE COLORS AND ALL OF MY CLOTHES ARE DIFFERENT COLORS-DEPENDING ON WHAT I FEEL LIKE PURCHASING. MY FAVORITES ARE: ***RED-BECAUSE. AND IT LOOKS GOOD ON ME-CANT GO WRONG WITH RED. ***BABY BLUE-BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT IT THAT SAYS "LOOK AT ME, IM CUTE" AND BECAUSE ITS A SERENE COLOR. ***BEIGE-BECAUSE ITS NICE AND YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH BEIGE DURING ANY SEASON. THATS ALL FOR NOW

NASIR I FEEL U BRO...ITS LIKE DEJA VU EXCEPT WITH DIFFERENT COUPLES GETTING MARRIED. IM NOT MUCH OF A WEDDING ATTENDEE BUT I DO SEE THE SAME OLD THINGS REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IF I WAS TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY IT WOULD BE THE WHOLE APPROACH TO THE WEDDING AND THE GUEST LIST(MOST DEFINITELY)-TOO MANY UNWANTED AND UNINVITED PEOPLE.(I DONT MEAN TO BE HARSH BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT INVITED FOR A REASON---->THIS IS STRICTLY ME:I DONT KNOW ABOUT U GUYS). I WOULD PLAN THE WEDDING MYSELF(AND MY HUSBAND TO BE, OF COURSE)THAT WAY ITS OUR THING---->MOST SOMALI WEDDINGS ARE NOT PLANNED BY THE COUPLE BUT BY THE FAMILY OR RELATIVES(ITS NOT A BAD THNG--HOWEVER LET THE COUPLE DO THE PLANNING AND WHATNOT) ITS KIND OF A TRADITIONAL, THE WAY EVERYTHING IS PROCESSED. ITS LIKE AN UNWRITTEN RULE OR SOMETHING. NASIR:----> ***I WILL FILL U IN WHEN I GO THROUGH WITH MY WEDDING***

NOW WHAT DARMAN, THE GAME IS OFFICIALLY OVER? OR ARE YOU GOING TO TELL US WHERE THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO?

I MUST SAY THAT WAS A TOUCHING STORY U SHARED WITH US. HOPEFULLY WE CAN ALL LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS INCIDENT. KHAYR YOU KNOW I WENT THROUGH A SITUATION LIKE THAT WITH SOMEONE, LUCKILY IT WAS NOT AS DRASTIC AS SUICIDE. BUT THE LITTLE THINGS THAT WE DO FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES AND NOT TO MENTION ANY OTHER BEING DO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE PERSON'S LIFE WHETHER WE ARE AWARE OF IT OR NOT.

IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN THAT'S ANOTHER POINT FOR THE LADIES DARMAN.

DEEQA GOOD LOOKING OUT SIS, AS WELL AS BATUULO AND SAMIHA. WELL DARMAN WHAT CAN I SAY. UR BOYZ ARE A LITTLE BEHIND, NO?

WHERE ARE ALL THE LADIES?

U KNOW GUYS I MUST ADMIT THESE ARE REALLY AWESOME BIKES-TOO EXPENSIVE I WOULD IMAGINE. DARMAN YOU SHOULD SEE MY SISTER SHE IS CRAZY ABOUT THEM AND THE TRUCKS-SHE SAID SHES GONNA OWN ONE SOMEDAY. SHE HAS RIDDEN WITH SOMEONE BEFORE.

HEY DARMAN STOP GANGING UP ON BATUULO SHE IS JUST FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH THE GAME RULES AND REPLY SO WE(THE GIRLS)CAN EARN OUR POINTS...ISNT THAT THE POINT OF THE GAME? BESIDES YOU HAVE REPLIED JUST AS MUCH AS SHE HAS. PRETTYBOY-IT WOULDNT BE MUCH OF A GAME IF THE GIRLS SLOWED DOWN AND LET U GUYS EARN EASY POINTS.

ITS GIRL POWERRRR

DARMAN REPLY TO WHAT? YOU HAVENT EXACTLY STATED WHAT WERE SUPPOSE TO BE REPLYING TO.
