^Oya! niachie Avatar yangu!

It's a first to see Daqane annoyed. For Somalia to heal, for its people to find peace and harmony - there will be a need to acknowledge each others pain/hurt caused by the years of Dictator ruling and the civil war.. Dismissing each other nor accusing each other isn't the way forward - either we all choose to be victims and wallow in self pity/hatred etc..or we acknowledge and take responsibility in how we engage with one another so to start the healing. I have no property to claim in Mogadishu , but have seen friends acquires theirs back and it was very easy too.

^Inna lillah waa inna illahi rajcuun.. Waa intaa kaa duceystaa - Ya rabbi, don't take me whilst my child is young..It's my worst nightmare to die, whilst they are young/innocent/alone...oh god! Today, was just another day - alhamdulillah.

^Nuune, aan sugeyaa ,wuxuu yiri I can make xalwa, marku keeno - qaxwa, buskut iyo xalwa is on me..lol Indeed, be kind and useful kasband - hoping that 'she' will be appreciative of all that you shall be..

It seems the road to recovery for Somalis will be long and exhausting one to say the least....

^Sometimes work isn't about earning the 'bread' is where one goes to exercise ones brain, to socialise etc... I cant imagine a life of just cooking/cleaning/serving..

^Yaah? You can do what?..Lol..good for you - I cant eat xalwa, I just never liked the test nor the texture..

And I thought I was early... Che - hope you had bought all that you will need whilst hibernating the next couple of days... Lol@ Underdog.

Things are tough out there - so calling one self Jane perhaps isn't such a crime, if one has to pay rent.

Oba warya kaa xishood gabadha - Blessed, I think you misunderstood Oba, it was just an observation he had made of the changes - which we all have seen. Looking back at how 'at ease' folks where with dress codes to the almost 'militant' mentality on what a girl/woman should wear now days..taasi maa been baa?

I think he prefers how women dressed in the yesteryear's rather that how women dress now in Somalia...Now ya all can line up and sue him..lol

^ha ha - Sheikh nuune's return is indeed glorious - illahi haa dayo!

Whenever I read this story it makes my stomach turn...whoever that man was, he lead a sad life.

^For a newbie to know Muridi is strange...hmm, so who's script are you then?

Ngonge, thanks! been ill and lazy to post.. So what have I missed?

Ngonge - my family would have burned me, too independent for my own good even in the Somali standards..lol. Stoic, it is harsh culture. One of my friends, she was a Patel, got married - not only to a well to do guy, but light skinned too [she made a point of that when she wrote to me] but my other friend whom the family was 'tailors' has not married, as there are 5 girls in the family, the father cant afford the dowry so they have all grown old at home...Nor did their brothers got married, being poor and a female is a curse in Indian culture.

^Yep - listening to the radio this morning about how doctors in Rajastani are willy nilly removing uterus from young women - made my blood boil. I grew up surrounded by Indians - it sure would have sucked to be born an Indian woman..noloshuu waa dib miraan.

^Indeed, a weird culture...Now the guy and his family will not only gain a wife, but a worker, cook, cleaner and forever devotion till death do them part..I would have sucked as an Indian woman, koleybaa wala igubii laha by now..Loool Afternoon folks! Maxa la shegee?

Very Sad...even after being scammed of that much money, she believes there is still a chance for them to have a life together..whoah!..bless her.

Had a tough day at work - still working....actually spent the last 30 min looking at photos of 'happy people ' on facebook...this is not a good sign..lool. I hate work, hate winter and mostly hate 'happy people on face book' - rant over, better get on before I loose track of what am supposed to achieve working so late..uff.

Apo, yours is a dream job - nuune, has a foot in the aviation business already dee reality check!!..Lol Stoic - you have been well indoctorated, whoever got you hooked on SL - sure did a good job....sometimes I cringe at words you use for 'xamar'..kulaha dungeon tsk tsk..

^Haye, shaqo miya laga heli karayaa your airlines? aan iska daynee petty goverment money [even though 'on the sides' are attractive]

^Lol@employ me as an assistant..lol, you said you have an ego to massage, tayda tada kaa weyn...assistant aa?? Jacpher - give it a rest adna. nuune - more info on Abwaan's position - aan aragnee sidhii uu calowshisaa kusnatee since joining the goverment ..lool
