^I dont think any 'being' gets an emotional fulfilment from being beaten or verbally abused- thats the talk of women bashers. Nevertheless, there are some damaged people out there that cant live in peace - buuq iyo feedh, qaylo uu arkaan a choice to live by and probably seem to be content in. Some folks just gets off munipulating each other....

^Nashukuru mungu, mambo yote poa!

Loved them!! soo cute - go girls..

coofle - dee taasi mahaa 'desparation' taasi waxaa laa dahaa 'nature' - reproduction natural instinct might kick in for some women, thus wanting to quickly get married and have babies. Lakiin taasi anigu umaa arkeyoo as 'desparation' just a natural response to fulfil that need of reproducing. I am against the subtle oppressive methods on women. If its not , their bodies, their mind, their age, their ability to lead , their basic right to exist; there always something else to keep the woman down. The biological clock nonsense is just another weapon to beat women with - unfortunately many women have been conditioned to think all that has been used against them is true thus some getting desparate. Any thing done in desparation is never right. Of course, I am not denying nature and Gods creation in regards to the reproduction systme of the female kind, I disagree with undertoning agesim.

Lol@middle aged - waa runtaa,what is it we do on Saturdays?..erm, my middle aged saturday starts with pancake morning, a trip to either the shops or some outing,it could be swimming or down at the stables[my child and her friends tend to go riding every now and then], cinema, show etc..the afternoon tend to consists mostly qaraboo visit - either they visit us or we visit them...As sunday is no contact day, albabka mafuuro iyo telephoneka baa maa qabto.

^Your in a generous mood ..lol. Coofle - your theory is flawed and might I add insultive - what has desparation got to do with age?

^Wise words -indeed, nin dinte kabihiisa dama!

Can the real Maaddeey please stand up? Abtigiis, gets bored every now and then - so folks let the man do his thing dee.

^ It should disgust any human being, girls arent objects - so why offer them as gifts...uurrgghh. Indeed an ugly dhaqan.

Blessing -soo tii reeruhu ii sii siin jiireen gabdho after a war or a dispute - thats my understanding of the 'dhaqan' - just this gesture seems to be interpreted as such to me or could be as Aabwaan suggests - a welcoming gift..Lol [Nevertheless, a girl/woman isnt an object laa iska sinayoo nin martii kuu ah...uff.]

^Aaaaaw, bless!! They are so cute that way- by now she will be tired, feed her and take her for a walk - she will sleep in no time.

^Well, some party popper tells me that things will be rather different next week!, summerka hana sugtoo horta..lol So typical of the British weather ..lol

^Loooooooool. I wonder what explaination the man would have of the chinese's obsession with white pale skin - iyagu naa maa muslim baa?
