We've 4 days off and the quiz is tomorrow Juxa - keep up! If NG is coming, he is joining my team (just say the word old man, and I'll have an invitation your way). Happy Friday!

Not sure what you mean by Alien but Somalia/land is in dire need of architects because they peddle the same type of designs everywhere these days..!

Some of these latter stories are positive, so thats good!

Sorry Abtigiis - your mixed messages confused me. Difficult to say 'I agree with Abtigiis' without a second thought!

She is truly inspiring, love her!

LoL@calaf. Abigiis, you just killed the word for me (along with reminding me of a painful moment when it was used to justify pure opportunism).

^LoL. I hope thats a joke (not that he wouldnt make a good wasiir, but its hardly as partriotic as he made it seem ).

I'm with my dearest oday NGONGE on this - cheating isnt so much about the other party as its about self-worth and self-values. Marriage does not bind you with a big chain to another person. If you dont like it - go elsewhere. If you like it, respect it and yourself.

So, I posted a reply and it just disappeared! I guess I'll just say best wishes Paragon and I look forward to hearing about your new adventure. I'm sure its the right move, I've sorely come to believe that a life spent not doing something you enjoy and consider worthwhile is a life not lived to the full. May Allah make your return a blessed one that exceeds your expectations.

Jumca Mubarak ya jamaaca... not sure waxaan maanta idinku xasuustey, laakin waan idin tabey, esp you NG!

She annoyed me to no end. Istubidhad. 5mins of my life I wont get back.

Waxaan joogaa carabta, laakiin meel miyi'ga sidaa u dhaamin.

Knight of Wisdom - they might withdraw their support and aid if you marry one of their women. Dont ruin it for Somalia. I'm going to visit Turkey in 2012 InshaAllah... my holiday pennies need to go somewhere worthwhile like Turkiya.

Assui?

Salaam All - howdy? Been a while soo maaha? Maxaa isku dhacaya meeshan bal? I've been enjoying 12hr sleeps and relaxation for a couple of days. Its actually giving me a headache, all this hurdo. But there is not much to do when you're in Miyi...

The things a smart google search can reveal. Whatever has become of SPAC?

So this is what dusty little Burco looks like... exciting (not!).

Useful, but not yet available for non US resident.. doh!

Either that or the English translation. What difference does it make anyway?

NG - I dont want your opinion, I've got my own. I want a religious direction. Also, I'm doing a wedding invite (not for myself, just so su'aalo loo baahneen in aadan i waydiin) and all the ones I've seen have always had the bismillah..

Q if anyone can help.. is it appropriate to put bisinka on invitation cards of any sort? I would think not since its gonna be discarded anywhere after the event.. but also, it seems appropriate to begin the event in the name of Allah.. Does anyone have any sources that can clarify this? Quick google search yielded no convincing results.

You know Val, I opened this 80% sure it was dedicated to me. Disappointed!

Its tragic what passes off as humour these days. :rolleyes:

Create a fund that will revive the Bardera Dam project and in less than two years that fund will be filled, build grain storage facilities costing less than a million dollars and more than 80 000 tons of food will be saved from waste each year, which would neutralize a bad harvest. Your solution is myopic and will see us having this same conversation in 2012, 2013, 2014 etc. What I said to you earlier: There is a time and place to discuss putting Somalia on the right tract long term and all the political maneuvering and who should do what, however there is a crisis in Somalia at the moment where an estimated 2.4 million Somalis require emergency humanitarian assistance, some literally dying of starvation as we type while others are pretty close. This is no time to discuss how the fire started, this is a time to put out the fire , and thats what he wants people to do.
