This is why I prefer the English language - my significant other, my other half, my partner, my spouse, my hubby (not husband and last resort).... all so endearing and subtle. With Somali, its sounds awkward(odayga, duqa, islaanta) or like you're ramming the idea down the other person's throat (ninkeyga, naagteyda). 'Xaaska' must be the only word that comes close to something appropriate and endearing.

The only MUST-HAVE skill for a 21st Xalimo, is how to train a farax to behave and do as she says.

I would give anything to get away from this weather this weekend - somewhere nice and sunny. The wind is driving me crazy :mad: All my stuff and masar was flying all over me and hitting me this morning. F***** weather :mad: .

Lily, received the letter yesterday. Much thanks for them I think I might be going out of London soon.... for a good while *ambivalent feelings*.

Or may be she’s simply overpowered by the sheer wisdom the said old man sprinkles around. When all is said and done, this comes down to the personal autonomy and individual choices, which good Baashe already pointed out. Don’t let your mind linger on it walaal for it may actually fare better than the other ones… No amount of rosy words or intellectualizing the situation is going to make it seem more palatable, friend!

Am I the only who finds men who fall that hard in love, a bit unmanly?? I would so totally loose interest.

And you're telling me because??? :mad:

Stop painting me as the resident Grinch people! :mad:

You know what I dont like Munira? People who are addressing me yet dont have the balls to do it directly. As for me 'bullying' - bah humbug!

^ that would be a smart move. I would be able to keep track of the troll corner if someone wasnt flooding it senseless! *gives JB the evil eye*. :mad:

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle What a great quote! And "An open mind means a never ending frontier" Ponder that dear nomads.

JB, this is the reason Somaliland isnt making any progress, its workforce are wasting their time in idle chat!

This Geel Jire person, is he going to show us a picture to prove it? This is the problem with Somali men, lots of claims, little proof.

This place is dying a slow, painful death. Where are all the interesting people???? And by interesting, I mean xiinfaniin.

Hey North, are you goin to Burco for holiday? if so, how long?

Ok, I cant take the bad internet connection. I'm off home. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Yup. I've 12days for the rest of the year and I'm sure waxaan ku dhameyn doonaa maalin here and maalin there. But if I do manage to hang on to them till the end of the year, I'm hopin to visit Bali (because I almost went there last year but got ill ). I've a whole itinerary for that part of the globe.

I would love to go on an extended holiday. One that actually lasts more than 4 days .

As the angry xalimo said, we are thinking Milan - for shopping or Barcelona, because everyone has seen it but us. The other mini away day is with the company. This time, its somewhere in the British isles. Not confirmed yet. But I'm not sure I will go.

Get well Sheh. Hopefully I'm gonna be going on a mini holiday in August too (actually two) . Where are you thinking? Blv it or not, this is the only site loading up and working for me today (besides google). I cant log into msn, yahoo messenger, youtube, hotmail, or the web application im supposed to be busy building. I'm so annoyed! And everyone here has taken leave :mad: Keep a girl company people!

^Why are you picking on Borama? I'm clearly a good example to go by... but... I'm also really unique .

Its friday Sheh, join in the fun! Howz the b i t c h being to you this morning? You guys are not trolling fast enough!

Are you goin away to get married or to have a holiday Munira? Val, for pete's sake, stop playing dumb! He is asking to meet... and why not. . I would love to hear what jokes he has to make about you later on ha ha! NG, I'm not sure if I mentioned it but Val is petrified of meeting you/running into you. We were at edgeware road the other day and she was looking around to see if you were in the vicinity.. and then she wouldnt let me go to all the big restaurants, so we settled for a little (and rather expensive) one. Bal inanta maxaad ku sameysey?

I posted that reply like half an hour ago, but out internet is acting up so much, it worked now. Originally posted by NGONGE: ^^ Way eska hadlaysa She's not really 'taken' but I think she's trying to tell us that she's seeing someone ! Not for long if her attention to detail is anything to go by. NG, that sort of pessimism is what keeps me on this side of the fence. Be optimistic and throw in a little dua that I may learn to see past the blinding and bitterly obvious shortcomings of our faaraxs, alright old man?

^What do *I* need numbers for? In anywcase, I never quite attract the right age group in these sorts of events. 19-21 yr olds be practicing their chat up lines on me all night... thats why I never leave my mother's side
