Online buying is definitly convenient at times, but what I don't like about it is that sometimes you can end up waiting a long time (2-5 working days) before you recieve your goods, depending on where you buy them from etc. Other than that, I'm quite happy with ordering stuff over the net and do it all the time. However, like sheh pointed out, before you buy anything make sure the website is secure and has a verified payment company. Also it really (really) helps to read the terms and conditions before you commit to buy anything. It beats wondering later on what you got yourself into when they refuse to change your goods or refund you your money. Ta Ta

Actually, I have not got a favorite dish during Ramadan. Marba wax baan ku waalada. However, one thing that gets my mouth watering is eating a sambuus rolled in malawax and dipped into mayonaise. Oh la la, tres tasty! It'll make your tastebuds go stir crazy. Other treats that I indulge myself in; - Sabayad - Egg fried rice - Yoghurt fruit drink (home made) - Fruit salad One of my new obsessions is something that my sis cooked for me last ramadan. I call it Nan Pizza (dunno the official name if it has any). Basically you make your regular baasto suugo then you put that inside your Nan bread. You stir an egg (or two, depends on how hungry you are) and you bake the egg over the nan bread. It's delish! Sheh .... That sounds delish, will defnitly try out your recipe Bleh, I hate sambuus, it's a bugger to make. It's definitly not easy to make. I've only made it like once in my whole life and I can tell ya it did not resemble a sambuus at all. Now I just worry about eating it. Ramadan Kariim All

That child will receive no forgiveness. She is a "coward", an effin "moron" and "will be a loser" who shall be "punished in the Fire of Hell". Frightening levels of sarcasm there Cassie, don't you think that what was said at another thread should be left there? As for the topic. How can a child so young resort to such measures?

5 things I want to do before the weekend 5. Start Packing (moving on Sunday and I've done shit all!) 4. Pay the deposit 3. Do the shopping (food, cleaning materials blablabla) 2. Get together with friends and family one last time 1. Bring winter coats to dry cleaners

Will You Make it to Friday?

Five things that make me mad 1. People who fart and accuse other's (just own up, no one's gas smells like hugo boss) 2. People who press the elevator button repeatedly (it's not gonna come any faster, if ur that impatient take the bleeding stairs) 3. The alarm clock 4. Other drivers. (just because someone is a learner-driver does not mean you have a right to honk your horn loudly or over take) 5. Putting in my contacts ( I know it's a lost cause after the 7th try)

Rahima, I think you're first task as Mod is up. You're not gonna let her get away with that are u? *points at FF* On a serious note, congrats to the new Mods. Good luck, you have a lot to live up to To the old Mods, I'd say good riddance! It was about time there was some fresh blood to aggravate

How many of you Self-Exam yourselves for lumps once every so often? It's something that I've become very self concious about after seeing a documentary about breast cancer and its effect about a year ago and the importance of early detection. Usually most women think that it will never happen to them and even if they do a self examination it's often frustrating since you may feel things but you're not sure of what they are. Examining your breasts is an important way to find a breast cancer early, when it's most likely to be cured. So ladies, here is a five step guide on how to do a self examination. Better to be safe than sorry

^^ Lol...I'm still persuading my younger brother to get some work, even if it's for two hours a week. *sigh* I had my first job ever when I was 13. I had a paper round in my neighbourhood. The damn thing came out every day, So I had no rest during the weekends even. Well to cut a long thing short, customers started to complain that they weren't getting their papers. I quit before they could fire me!

I bought my iPod mini in January after much inwards debating about whether I should go with the bigger ones. I thought the Green one looked way hotter than the plain white ones so I went with the mini. Laakin, after getting one of the emails from Apple I'm dying for Nano. I want one, I want one, I want one. Nine, they're like totally awesome. :cool: Farm...After the money collection drop me a PM and I'll forward you my address

Tourists halt flight over "long" toilet trip NICOSIA (Reuters) - Frightened British tourists stopped an airliner taking off from Cyprus on Sunday night after a Muslim passenger triggered a security scare by spending too long in the toilet. Passengers in an uproar forced the plane to turn back while it was taxiing for take off to Manchester. There were 230 people on the plane operated by private carrier XLA. "The appearance and behaviour of two individuals roused suspicion and then the pilot refused to continue with them after the reaction from the other passengers," police spokesman Demetris Demetriou said. State radio reported they were Pakistani in origin. "All I saw was a couple of Arab looking gents with white skullcaps. What became suspicious is one went to the toilet and went for a long time. He was in the loo for about 10 minutes," one British passenger who identified himself only as Chris, 45, told journalists. Demetriou said the men were questioned and nothing was found against them. The luggage of the aircraft was also checked and nothing suspicious found. The flight left Cyprus on Monday, without the two passengers, who departed on a different aircraft, police said. Source I do not know whether I should roll my eyes, pull an embarrassed face, get angry or laugh. I'll do all of them instead :rolleyes: :mad:

Femme, Alxamdulilaah he didn't take his son with him. He was spending that night with his grandma, so his mom and dad could work things out. Tamina..Sis, I hope he doesn't find rest on the world as well as the hereafter. You seem to be a nice girl, but i'm glad i'm not related to you for i don't want my relative or wife to hand me over to the authorities and have my azz belong to state property. Well, it's like this. Even if we're not related, I catch ur *** doing something unlawful, I'm still gonna report ur *** and have u thrown in jail. Capiche? :cool:

'CONTROL FREAK MOTHER' Walaal, it's common courtesy to have respect for one's parent. Calling your mother, or your partner's mother a "Control Freak" is disrespectful in its sincerest.

Couple of years ago my auntie got murdered in her sleep by her husband. It was about the custody of their son, who he should live and so forth. This happened in Switserland. Anyway, after he robbed her of her life, he fled the scene like the bleeding coward he is and sought refuge in Holland. After a while we (my family), found out that he was staying in the same town as we lived, with a family we (at least my parents) knew very well. The woman apperently was his sister, and she refused countless times to give him up to the authorities. Instead she paid for him a single ticket to Africa. Now, forget about giving him up to the authorities for a second here and think about what he did. He just killed someone, committed the most henious crimes of all. He left a child parentless (the fact that he is still alive doesn't mean anything, he made sure of that when he stabbed his mother repeatedly). He left a family daughterless. He is nothing short of a monster. So the minute you took such a person in your household, you became an accessory to the crime, doesn't matter whether you planned it together, or were present at the scene or even knew about it beforehand. You are making sure he is getting away, unpunished. So what does that make you? As evil as they are. Think about what you are taking into your household. If he killed before, what makes you think he will spare you? Or even worse, what if you have children. Will you still say, "oh it doesn't matter, it's family, blood matters before anything". I would without a doubt haven given them up. When someone commits such a crime, the boundaries have been crossed and it's no longer an insignificant, minor little thing. Things will start to take on a different meaning, and it's what you do about it, that counts at the end. Something obviously made that person snap and reduced them into doing what they did, so what will happen the next time they snap and you're around. Personal Safety first, so consider what you're taking in and dealing with. Somali people have their issues with the laws of the West, no doubt. So therefore, they should look to what the laws of our religion say. Every sort of crime has got its rightful punishment. A life for a life, an arm for a robbery and so forth. They weren't made for nothing. Haddii kale soma'ahan, you chose to live in the west, adhere to their civil laws, haddii kale share a cell with whomever you're harboring. People can change, repent, call it whatever. Let them do that after they've been punished accordingly. Personally, I don't believe anyone can change after they've committed a murder or have raped someone. So, should DNA guarantee Loyalty and Love? No. It shouldn't cloud one's judgement. P.S. I have not read everyone's reply, but some of you left me with my mouth wide open :eek:

^^ Does the dutch media know? I visited some of the main dutch newspapers websites but couldn't find anything about this incident.

Nafta "kiss of death" Loool...This is just a way too nice way of dying, I want to torment and cause terror, markaas ayaad igula imaaneysa this cissy name. Anyway, I'm way too nice to have Beef with anyone, we're all friends and it's all about sharing harmony! Go Flower Power!!!

^^ Have you tried body brushing? If not, you should girl. Body brushing will help get rid of the dull, dry upper layer of your skin and boost the elimination of waste, excess toxins and fluids from your body. It is the key to target those problem areas and improve the look of cellulie. Before bed, brush your body all over starting on the top of your foot. Brush firmly and slowly up over the top of your foot and between the toes, then work under your foot. Then brush you legs, working firmly and slowly up the front, back and sides of both lower legs, do a few circles around the knees and then make the same moves brushing up the front, back and both sides of your thigh. After brushing, apply a body moisturiser or natural body oil, as it will be absorbed beautifully. Try to get one specially formulated for anti-cellulite, as the ingredients will boost the effectiveness of the skin brushing. Trust me girl, your skin will feel brushed up, all warm and tingly and if done repeatedly the cellulite will lessen. P.S. You should choose a fairly tough body brush to do this. If your skin feels tingly and turns pink when you use it then it's a good brush. If it is sore then the brush is too firm, if it feels soft then it won't work.

When I first heard this tune, I was like whoa...the Somali answer to Usher has arrived! (ok, that might be exagerating it a bit, but you gotta admit the beat is similar to "you got it bad"). Laakin, it's over played. You hear it at every wedding and it's lost some of it ambience. The same with the other song Bella which is on the same album. Nevertheless, full points for the fact that they've produced something different than the usual songs about Casho and beeraha :cool: P.S. their whole album is quite nice.

youm-al qiyaama ayuu ka aarsan doona, mark my words every little ant, every 'roach, rat and fly you killed and stepped on will avenge themselves, ayakoo ah ten times the size you are...be afraid moti, be afraid

We regularly have a sports meet-up, the discussion is not only limited to sports believe it or not Let me guess, It's one of those anti-everything-that-aint Liverpool meet-ups right? A F, the idea seems nice for those who want to participate in it. Though I think that being cyber buddies is one thing, but taking it to reality is another. P.S. Juxa...na heedhe je wordt bemint door iemand daarzo. Hij begint al te spreken over een 5 cent achterkant

Because they love it. LOL ...Another form of abuse springs to mind here... But to answer your question Lexy, different women stay in abusive relationships for different reasons. To put them in catagories or justify their reasons for staying would be almost impossible.

First off, Somali's often don't consider themselves as African, and to my knowledge we were never slaves (except to eachother, having a boyeeso in the household). So why would we get offended by the term "Abeed"? Haven't we got our own terms such as "Jareer" and "Addoon"?

^^^ The picture was not supposed to put off people piercing their tongue entirely and I'm also not saying that all tongue piercings will end up getting infected. Besides there is a difference between a dramatically swollen tongue and a infected one (the latter is pictured above and might I point out that it's not supposed to be a representation of what all pierced tongues look like). The picture is merely meant to make people see, so to speak, "the other side" of tongue piercings. It doesn't always look sexy and if it's not cared for proper or done by a qualified professional, like you mentioned, it can look plain nasty. Just a well meant advice...think twice before you put your tongue (and other body parts) through all sorts. I guess it depends on if she knows how to work her tonque for the right occasion. I doubt that there will be much of a work-out going if the tongue ends up looking like that
