Is work just a pain in the neck,if only we were living on trees,picking fruits and just picking nits off each other all day..blissful life eey.. Ms D,dont wait until they kick you out,get out while things are good between you and them...find another job before you quit this one,while on the process of working the notice,you take your holiday adding the extra week as a sicky..only if you have an understanding GP.

Loool,@Website, nayareheen igaa dayaa dacayaadan..lol. Hunguri aa? Naw!,shekaad kentee..I am sure he is a decent individual,and I would have been extremely lucky to trap him... But nah,I got a better deal from a catalogue..have you heard about this new invention,where one choices a Groom from a Catalogue,it gives you the option of mix and matching,then they clone the perfect man for you...

^^Is it a Somali wedding? cant bare the two step dancing routines, I got salsa in mind though.. Thanks! I cant wait!, 7 weeks of sun,sand and siesta ,ofcourse including the entertainer..lol

^^Lool,poor Abdi,paraded like a trophy!

^^^From above posts they all seem too busy doing their ever so important jobs..lol I got so much to do,but brain is so tired,body is like wise...I need to sleep! or perharps go dancing tonight! Xan,send a pm with the juicy info re women back home...eey,that will probably wake me up!

^^^Believe me it has its promps...

Lool Chubacka, you watched the queens nose, I loved that programme,believe me I as a full grown woman then..lol..How I love childrens programmes.I am peter pan, the child that never grows up..

There is no winning for women eey? Changes of gender roles, family structures has a huge impact on day to day tasks of raising children. Can women afford to wait untill they have better paid jobs or are in better positions to have kids,unfortunately biologicaly we dont have that luxury..and its not for all to be high flying executives.Some folks learning is difficult,making ends meet which every way is applauble....Lets not kick them while they are down there. Being a working mother is the greatest challenge,heck being a parent is the greatest challenge one will ever face.Unfortunately we find ourselves without extended families to help us raise the children,we depend on after school clubs,activity clubs etc. The african saying, a child is raised by a community doesnt happen here,its you and your child by yourselves...it can be hard believe you me! There is nothing worse then that constant guilt trip mothers take,we worry if our children have eaten enough,if they had enough sleep,if their happy,sick,learning well etc etc...Working mothers do need more support,not condemnation of anysort,laws should be passed where mothers are given special leave of absence if their child in unwell...thats why I opted to work for the local goverment..I get at least 5 days on top of my holidays for occasions when my daughter is not well. Praise the mothers!!

"Hate will ultimately destroy everyone." Hear,Hear,Hear...,An interesting read. "we are a free country sxb. ". In what civil society that is free,permits a politician to instigate hate,and stir peace? I am assuming with freedom you mention comes with the right of choice..Which in this case its the folks in Sool&Sanaag are free to decide where they belong, without threats of genocide... It is rather sad, that there are those whom will stand up and defend such a person..it doesnt mean your less of a Somalilander by condemning such comments.

Rudy and the Xalimos maxaa kala haya :rolleyes:

"The two locals gave us what they thought was the American version of dirty dancing, which was filthy and coming from two men quite provocative, and simply would not believe the version we tried to show them was correct." ^^^I found this to be disturbing.....lol,dirty dancing kulaha!!Bisinka..geeljire muxuu kaa yaqaan dirty dancing. "We entered Somalia on the 18th of June, 1966, arriving in a vintage cargo plane. There were no seats. We squatted on the floor in the cargo hold and held on to straps. The only view we had of the outside was through bullet holes straffing the aluminum walls of the aircraft" Subhanallah,isnt this still the same case today?..we surely stuck in mud,ancient times..daadka kale hormar,somalis..stuck in the era gone by.

Lool, me you definetly were a fan,..Ridge it was,with his six packs,muscline jaw line...and Brooke was the woman that had an affair with him,the brother and had kids with his father...Soap operas. Jacaylbaro, I found friends to have been very staged,the script was too well reharsed...the joy of comedy, has to be free flow.

Where is every body to day? I need some entertainment...

“In the way that we present ourselves to the rest of the world, we are definitely lightening up.” Hear, Hear, Hear,Big up to the sisters in the forfront for Islam..with their colourful hijabs..Mashaallah! May we continue to be stylish,elengant and modest.

Jacaylbaro, who was your fav in friends..?

^^Me too, it must be something in the air, cant stay focused now,I need a siesta!

Or a parent who never quite gets the kids to school on time? YES "I'm useless early in the morning," he says cheerfully. "All I can do is drink coffee, and stare into space." Oh dear me, thank god am not alone If you find it hard to get up in the morning, don't despair - you're not lazy, you're just genetically programmed that way, says the B-Society in Denmark. I am so pleased to know there is a whole society of B people...aah, its about time we get acknoledged.. Lool, am kidding ya all,its amazing how people love to have little brand names for so many things.AD=Attention deficiency for a naughty child,MLD= Moderate learning development etc etc..

I ate too much food, nothing like a free lunch eey!

I am still growing...so Simpson Sponge Bob Odd parents Eastenders Avitar The bold and the beauty[had a thing for whats his name now?? duh! old age is creeping in] Keeping appearance Fresh Price etc etc wasnt that much of tv fan...

MMA, I saw it only on two occasions,and that was back in Tanzania.The bride will be handed a jug of milk,while the groom is handed a boy,before entering their home,both their feet are washed...,I will ask my ayeeyo,whats its called and where in Somalia its mostly practiced. I love the gelbiis, two years ago,my cousin went to get married in Nakuru[kenya].He was escorted by almost 100 men,walking down the street,the cars honking...aah what a feeling,he was so smug and yet trembling with fear.

Originally posted by Jacaylbaro: I think 1966-67 was when my father was born ,,, That makes your father about 41,you must still be in your teens then Jacaylbaro..I wouldnt have thought..hmm Grant,welcome to SOL,it will be much appreciated to us,if you share your experiences of living,working in Somalia in the late 60's.

Umu,meditation too help ease the pain,or you could do what I did,had so much gas,the midwife had to pull it away..lol As for now,keep moving,eat spicy food and the rest will pm you.

"A colleague of mine is petrified of marrying the mother of his 4 children. Quite irrational." Indeed it is,he or she is already committed to the person. My colleague has been with her boyfried for over 10yrs,last summer we were at bistro village,she found a wedding dress..I could almost cry for her as she had to call him and ask if she can buy it just incase he ever changes his mind...what?

^^^why dont you just ask them? or better get to know them..

I need to confront a new member of staff that "tricked" me to agreeing on his lie.All for the brother hood in Islam,I lied..,I feel so guilty!
