silly me, i forgot to to respond the topic. I need to know what I S L A M says about donating organs. Mama did not rise a fool no way hosei i would ever ever even consider about it. Free Food = more heavyweight champions. maybe If you call the American Obesity Assoc. they will explain it better why i said dat looooool.

Salama Alaikum Nomad Sisters and Brothers. I have serioussss deeep thoughts: If quitters never win and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while your ahead"? If vegetable oil comes from vegetables, where does baby oil come from? If a tin whistle is made out of tin, what exactly is a fog horn made out of? What do they call a coffee break at the Lipton Tea Company? If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him Is he still wrong? How much deeper would the oceans be without sponges? If FED EX and UPS were to merge, would they call it FED UP?

Good stuff looooloool i like this joint. Gaalo people study us too good, here's a piece of an article i was just reading its of topic but bare with me: He was perhaps twenty-five years old and gave a very shy impression as he was trying to avoid the strong light from the petromax lantern by standing in the doorway to the pharmacy. His clothes and style of hair revealed that he was a camel herder on temporary visit in the town. He tried, unsuccessfully, to call the attention of the pharmacist. His "psst-psst" drowned in the noise from the street and finally he stretched out his stick and tapped lightly on the counter. "What do you want?" the pharmacist retorted. The boy hesitated first and looked to his sides. Eventually he said: "ten pieces of the medicine for malaria and pain, and four of that blue and white one". He handed over the money and put the ampicillin capsules and the aspirins in a small plastic bag that he slipped into his army belt and disappeared running in the darkness outside the pharmacy... To be continued.

Nails + shoes is the first thing i notice in a guy. Once he passes in that quick check up, i do observe more on the external look -Pair of jeans and a t-shirt (preferably white) or a light blue shirt would knock me down. I like those shoes that'r square shaped at the front(ALDO) those of you who live in Canada would know that store. Not the thin edged Nigerian style they used to call FEERO KOOYO in Somalia. ------------------ Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee.

Ma Anigaa Waalan Mise Cadan baa Laga Heesaya Where have you all Somali Haterz been hidding loool. Walaahi this is a dumbster talk subhana Laaah. Stop disrespecting. I am one proud Somali Female, If i had the chance to choose my nationality all over, i would defenetly want to be a SOMALI again. You guys lose a lot of time hating people,be aware of the ground for your own behavior than to understand the motives of another. Sh!t man, that was a cheap shot buddy the one who said Somalidu stink oo waa Sewege and the girl who wants no somali girlfriends you two need Raxmad ALLA. Gaalo people do not even wash after their %$#@@ think twice. lol i am swinging my UUNSI to your way, hope you smelling me. [This message has been edited by Ashkira (edited 04-03-2002).]

Ahaha, the dog sure wonders alot. Cool stuff, i like the old man lol. ------------------ Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee.

Thanks Onkod. To answer your question, i think whatever is agreed upon in the marriage between the two spouses is submission. The term submissive can be only thought of in the terms of a woman, but it works both ways. Basically, the man is to service his wife also. The submission means that the household works in harmony & everyone is happy with compromise. Each spouse treats the other as they wish to be treated. So this can work in the most modern of households. The submission thing is that spouse & family are #1 on the priority list. This is my opinion, maybe other nomads will have different thoughts on this. ------------------ Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee.

Buubto, my apologies sister. The b' got my eyes twisted. It was meant to be Buulo. Allah created man and woman, and he gave woman to man to complete him. We'r not equal, and we have different roles. Biibto, thats why baby girls play with dolls and baby boys with trucks. Allah created us differently and we need to accept that, unlike the West where the girl grows up in a society that teaches her from day one that she's the same as a boy in every sense of the world, therefore she should rightly do everything and perfom every task that a man does. When she reaches womanhood, she marries a man, and fails to realize that he's indeed a man. With lack of respect on the part of the wife for her husband, and vice versa, divorce is just around the corner. Nobody is happy and married life is headache. I agree Islam is the only solution to the marital problems, had we lived to Allah's blueprint for a wife submitting to her husband, while At the same time the husband loved his wife precisely, the world would most likely be in utter marital bliss. Somali women are much more in authority now then they were 60, 40 or 20 years ago. We passed way our grannies era, where women couldn't even drink a Tea. Do you know why? there was a shortage of Sugar, men wanted their Shaax sugary and invented this whole myth about (shaax takes away women's femininty.) I personally am very independent but I do believe that the woman should be submissive to a Husband that respects/loves her as himself. I would in no way fashion or form be submissive simply because they are male, that is not the intention in my opinion. The intention is ying & yang. Harmony, pieces fitting together what is good for me is good for you. Male & female relations in any form was never meant to be a task master & servant arrangement. ------------------ Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee.

Metoo & Buubto, you two have a legit points. This superficial smile we put on has been worn out. Marriage is all about sacrificing and patience, yet knowing where to draw the line to say. As sister Buubto put it, Yes men are mainly responsible for the family, that doesn't mean you hand over the ownerhsip of yourself, to the point where they have the power of your life. Somali Women are bitting more then they can actually chew, they let it build up inside and outbursts at the end when its too little too late, and completely have gone mad. Depression is becoming so widespread among Somali females, this was one of the few uncommon/unrecognized illness in back home, it was onlyl recognized after the schizophrenic stages on the streets, few kicks and chase from kids to grown ups, followed by the infamous word 'Jinoole.' lol don't mean to laugh, But GOD, What a People!! Luckily we'r here in the West where depression is part of their daily lives almost everyone is on anti depresants, if we could only admit we'r depressed and need help (this is again where we put on our superficial look) maybe it wouldn't be so bad to treat it up front. So ladies, does it really worth it loosing our sanity over living up to standards other people set for us? To all of my Nomad brothers, This is not another male bashing topic, rather a wide problem the nomad sisters are facing. Please Feel free to contribute your thoughts. ------------------ Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee.

Why do we (women) stay in a relationship/ marriage thats not working for us? We stay for a number of reasons. Some of them are real. Some are perceived. Some are cosmetic. We remain in the home because of the standards built around marriage. We stay because society tells us that he should take care of the children. We stay because a Muslim God-fearing woman should try to make her marriage work. We stay because he makes a lot of money and there's plenty more in the bank. We stay because he makes more money than we do. We stay because our family talked about us for marrying him in the first place. They knew he was no good, but we married him anyway. We can't let them know they were right. We stay because we won't be able to live comfortably ever again. We stay because we'r afraid to live on her own. We stay for too many other reasons that would take pages to write. But we stay. And it's sad that we put up with so much to appear happy. Don't let other people's standards define you. Only you have the ability to make a change in your life. How will the change affect you? I cannot say. I just know, that living by other people's rules hinder a life that can be filled with infinite possibilities. Just live your life. ------------------ Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee.

Shaqsii, Thanks for a great topic. Like our brother stated, it wouldn't have looked a terrible thing if the amount/time people chew wasn't excessive. Somali statistics show more then 94% of broken homes are the result of QaaT. Safi and Ashwaaq: Are the OLOMO (Culumo) you talking about Somalis? Cuz Somali Olomo used to Chew Qaad to keep themselves awake all night as they recite the Qur'an, and wait the Fajr prayers. I agree with Ashwaq, Qaad is somewhat escape of a problem, and ruins family values, but harmless herb unlike Cigars or drugs. There's no proven evidence that Qaat causes cronical diseases(cancer/ brain damage etc.) I don't chew Qaat, and can hardly stand anybody who would chew the thing, only trying to distinguish myth from reality. Qaat is not Haram nor causes a long term cronic illness. Though it demorolize your whole being, its atleast better then God Forbidden stimulants ie; Alcohol/Drugs. Ashwaaq, Somalis used to chew before the diaspora don't think they started after the fact. It's an addiction thats been going on far too long. Float like a Butterfly, Sting like Bee
