Congrats on becoming a mum, Umi. Amiin to all the du'as.

**Proudly sports her 'I've been to Dentist and didnt cry' sticker** Happy 26th June, people.

Very fascinating, all this bread talk. Am craving some toast now (don't mind if it's white or brown either). Awful toothache...on my way to the dentist. Wish me luck. Ta ta.

Powerpoint presentations = a boring pain in the backside!

Do you know I can't remember ANY of the hindi films I have seen and I used to watch a LOT. My memory is shit.

Congrats.

Guys you forget there is a middle ground between staying at home and daycare. It's called family. If you are lucky enough to have your mum, aunts, nan or siblings around, then you are set. No outrageous childcare costs, no evil daycare centre and you can work as much or as little as you want. I don't like 'either or' choices. Having said that, I agree with Rahima. I don't think there's anything wrong with sending your child to nursery. They develop their social skills and learn many things that you may not be able to teach them at home. When my nephew started nursery at 2 and a half, they taught him how to bake. Can you believe it? He used to bring muffins home (nice ones too). I don't even know how to bake and neither did his mum. LoL...No way he would have learned half the things he did at nursery if he was home. My point is attending nursery is a necessary process for children's growth. It introduces them to the concept of communal learning and prepares them for school. Of course you are not always going to be satisfied with the level of care some places provide, but there are things you can do about that too. You can easily move him//her to another nursery or you can join the Parent Association and ensure, through campaigning and complaints for example, that they deliver a good enough service for the children in their care.

^ We had the same discussion as well. My theory was he wouldn't kill for love. Supposition being she was married and had asked him to off the hubby. What was yours?

Airwolf! I loved that show. Almost as much as Knightrider. Hehehe... My mum still watches some of those shows on UKTV and Bravo TV.

^^ Loool! OMG...OMG...lol. That's hilarious. They should make a film about your visit! I would pay good money to listen to all the conversations you had while there. Bless you.

^ Oh, but I am! Are my comparisons too girly?

OK, I see what you are basing your arguments on, Xanthus, but I've got to say your original statements sounded like gross generalisations. LMAO @ "waan soo foorfoorsanya, or maadaaxan duulka kuu soo xooqaayah"!

^ No. Did you? Anyone print and laminate 'NO PARKING' signs and stick them around a parking lot?

Originally posted by Xanthus: I was merely pointing out that there is no thought process involved, it is like eating food three times a day because food is placed in front of you! I should change to "the people i met pray because...." but the other that i stand by it! What I am asking is, how are you so certain that this is why they pray? That there is no thought process involved? Did they tell you that?

Originally posted by Xanthus: Most people pray because everyone is praying or because they can hear the adan or because it is part of their every day life Xanthus, how can you know that? What an outrageous statement!

LoL @ Norf! High flyer! Sheh, top up on ur vitamins, there's a nasty flu making the rounds. Hope you feel better soon. Serenity, fly with it. Do it and do it well. Social life can wait! On a side note, this is one of the things I really like about SOL: there are always other people going through the same issues as you.

1) Love exists. True romantic love exists as well. Love is thought to originate from Adam and Eve, the first romantic couple in history. 2) Love isn't all about sex, however love and sex do go together like afternoon tea and cream scones or designer jeans and killer high heels. So, although they can be mutually exclusive, it's vastly better to have them together. :cool:

Lo0ol! OMG...this is too good! Me, who knew you were such a sap in your younger days? 'All for one' kulahaa. Ha ha ha! *Wipes away tears* You've made my day, walaahi.

^ Hello! Self-employment as a freelance contractor, I was thinking. To start with at least.

Well, in that case, trot off to Tesco's, get a couple of small digs and get to cooking!

How can one get tired of take-away/eating out? Xanthus, get a grip! You don't need to cook anything, just buy two servings of take-away every other day and put one in the fridge for the next day.

^ LoL...deceit of high proportions dheh. Sheh, that's good advice, thank you. The shut-down was referring to erasing the whole process from my mind once I secure a job. Until the next time. D&D, self-employment is the way to go. :cool:

I want them to want me too! What do I write? What do I write? Sheh, jobhunting is an awful process for me, I kinda shut down once I get through it and secure a job.
