^You tricked the poor man. That wasn't a sarcastic remark. First of all you added 'please' at the end - unless that was followed by some eye rolling or a noticeably fake voice, that sounds like an honest request on ur part to me!

You girl is right. Find a man barber if you wan't things to be smooth between u and ur lady - and FYI...since your so focused on her stunning looks and her 'head massages' & 'pleasent experiences'- it doesn't sound like a pure professional relationship to me. I mean, a barber should just cut ur hair, right? You can do without all those extra perks. Esp. as a Muslim man. Admit it, you have a crush on her.

The pics are beautiful, especially the Moqdishu shots (is that for real :eek: - I better get myself up there quick). But what I'm asking for is for ya'll to describe it? Ex. Bathrooms in each room, a large spacious attic, covered patio, dual headed showers etc.

I was going to say something but I forgot: Tyjwania's avator stopped me in my tracks (or rather my fingers on the keyboard). I'm sorry, the truth hurts: But it's the ugliest pic of JJ and such a horrible avator. It harasses my eyes. It had to be told (those pple with the big grins were laughing at u).

If dreams were money... If you were fortunate enough to build your own home - How would it look like (the layout inside & outside)? What would it include (even small details)? What things would it MUST have? [Keep in mind areas for your children/future children] I've been addicted to home furnishings lately and I can't help but wish to design and build my home. But dreams are free so get rolling... P.S. Be realistic (you'll probably never own a mansion).

Should romance disappear after yrs of marriage Definitely not if your still madly in love with each other - the real question is: Does love/lust/affection disappear after certian years of marriage. Now that's scary.

No way, Jose.

LOL. Maybe when the men stop wasting our money with chewing Qat and gossiping at all hours in front of the local Starbucks with their like minded useless pieces of dung (so called 'friends')... then maybe women might think about taking care of your sorry butt . Until then, you have no choice but to marry a career women to support you and ur useless habits. I don't understand why men complain about the very same woman who keeps him fed and clothed, and gives him his allowance for those expensive coffees they drink like it's the end of the world. :confused:

Pucca, Absolutley beautiful...lucky you. If I want to see a sky like that I have to drive a long time for it.

I'm so sick of this double standard. In Germany this summer I met a white brother from Denmark guess what had already divorced two sistas, and on his third wife!!!!!!! Some of our women are cheap walaalhi…. Somali ladies, beware..The world outside has noticed, you are Just toooooo cheap But why? But a Somali woman who marries a Somali man who divorced 14,000 women (so very common) isn't cheap? And what the hell do ya'll mean by cheap?

Sheh, Did I mention that I'm your mother's friend's daughter's cousin's friend's son's sister? Oh, I didn't? Well, I'm letting you know now. :cool:

Where will we be as Somalis without vivid, bold colours?

The Somali Exhibition Now, how did it go? Calan suubanow, samada u ekoow...iyaantii la surey, san u doonayow... Does anyone wear this anymore? It looks very uncomfortable and it must've been a pain in the posterior to make them. Doesn't that baby camel nursing it's mom make u wonder how camel's milk tastes like? Mmmm.

2nd Canadian Islamic Cultural Expo - 2006 The Downtown Expo grounds & audience: The kids participating in a Fashion show displaying their ethnic clothing - try to locate my lil sis. Hint: she's the only somali and she's wearing dirac w/ gabarsaar. To be fair, don't strain your eyes, only her head is visible. But oh, do check out the gorgeous Saudi boy in front. He looks absolutely fantastic - love it, love it.

Dear Ivana: I love you. I’ve always loved you since the day you snuck into our yard and pooped into our garden. Even though my mother disagrees and threatens to hit you with a broomstick the next time you mess up her garden - I think you were indirectly telling us that you care and are capable of taking responsibility for your messes. I think that’s very grownup and considerate of you. A typical dog would’ve just left it there and ruined our day - but you! No, you special cat, you would cover it up for us to find and dispose of when we try to rake over the weeds. And no, I am not mad that I had to clean up the clogged cat poop on the rake edges. Ivana, I have to say though. I feel that you don’t appreciate me at all. I mean, I feed you, I snuggle with you, and when I run my hands down the length of your back, I can feel and hear the loud puuurrrs vibrating throughtout your whole body. But, why must I beg, cry and plead for your attention? After I feed you, instead of showing me gratitude, you cock your head and stare intently at me for a few minutes, your peircing green eyes looking through my eyes and deep down my soul. Finding nothing to interest you, you lay around pretending to sleep and all the while your mind is working feverishly figuring out where else to poop discretely and surprise us. Then you leave, without so much as a goodbye, and head over to your rightful home, your tail and ears straight in the air, dismissing me and my love. I man, is that even necessary? Why can't we part ways respectfully, instead of leaving me miserable and vindictive? I feel used, Ivana. Used and worthless like one of your old. chewed to death toy mice. It seems like you only want me to fulfill you physical needs - massage, food and a place to poop. I think we need to re-evaluate our relationship and work on the places that are lacking - as in the unreciprocated affection displayed by yours truly. How hard is is to come and lay on my lap with prompting, to rub your smooth head on my neck like you do your owners, to place your paws on my chest and hug me like a true friend would. Why do you manipulate me and abuse my affection? Ivana, I love you but if you don’t change your wandering ways, I would be forced to seek attention else where. Maybe even that fat cat that you despise for no other reason but that it loves rubbing it’s body on my legs. Yes…I do have options you see…so think carefully about the benefits in our relationship and whether or not it’s worth it to you to work on it or lose it…. Love, Shabanu

First of all...there is no such thing as Islamist in our vocabulary. Just because you have been watching too much ignorant American news channels doesn't mean that you have to adopt their flawed terminology. It's Muslim. Number two...looking at the big picture of the problems in Somalia, I would think closing down photoshops to be in the 0.000056% of importance. 4- What if it affects large number of the population and therefore makes them incapable of sustaining life? Clarify yourself here, please. The whole picture debate is a bit controversial - meaning you won't find a right answer. Check out here.

Then why do we still have to repect them?? Is this a trick question?

Congrats. Enjoy her every second...those little ones grow up so damn fast.

I would be royally pissed if somalia looked like that 50 yrs from now - I would be too old to enjoy it! :mad: :mad: :mad: Get working lazy bums!

In the West women dress with looks to kill outside the home and save the sweats and t-shirts for inside. Most women will look very beautiful while going outside of the house, but look like a slob inside the house. The one of them spends at least an hour taking a shower in the morning, putting on makeup, fixing her hair, and making sure she will look snazzy and smell pleasant when she steps out the door. When this sweetly scented woman steps back in the door, off goes the mini skirt and tight sporty jacket. The make-up is removed and on goes the sweats. When the husband steps in the door he is greeted with complaints and gets to fix his eyes on raggedy clothes and a tired worn out face. What husband wants to come home to this scenario when he can stay outside and look at thousands of beautiful women that are flaunting their goods. Some Muslim women have fallen into the same habit the non-Muslim women make. How long do they take to make sure they have the perfect colored scarf to match with the pink furry sweater they may wear that day. How often have they found themselves trying to find the perfect pumps to wear with that new jilbab? How many times have we seen a Muslim woman with perfectly plucked eyebrows and beautiful bright red lipstick with her hijab accenting her face? Why is it we see our Muslim sister hurrying to get home from a gathering with her friends, her husband following shortly behind. Dinner is not ready, and jeans and t-shirt lie beneath the jilbab to greet her tired husband. The kids are filthy and have not had a nap. What does she say, but Oh, honey I'm sorry I talked too long, I guess tuna fish sandwiches and Campbell's soup will have to do for now. Why is it dear sister, that you do not try hard to enchant your husband and catch his eye. All it takes is coming home a few hours earlier and preparing the house and putting on some nice clothes. Why not spray a little perfume and dab on a little makeup. Why not make sure there is dinner prepared or something is in the oven which will be ready shortly after your husband arrives? Why is it dear sister, you greet your husband with kitchen clothes and worn out eyes? Next time, try a little surprise. Make your husband light up when he walks in the door. Wear something nice to catch his eye and say something nice to soften his heart. Make sure your house is clean and your children neat and appealing. Why not dear sister, work hard to captivate him, as Allah knows best he works his hardest to take care of you. source Discuss.

Zu man, those small, shifty eyes of yours have gotten smaller recently, have they? You can't read the article properly? It applies to white chicks...and as far as I'm concerned...nag matahid hadaada ninkaada diig indhaha ka keenin.

If the mods are discussing anything...they're kept me out of the loop as they usually do. :rolleyes:

I don't understand why people have to insult a man they didn't know until this news report. I don't think these ladies were dragged kicking and screaming to their wedding...and as far as I know it isn't illegal or haram. Excuse my language, but who really gives a shit?

^Does that make me sound old?

I was reading in the papers today that the Lebanon and so called 'Isreal' ( ) war has been on now for 21 days and I was seriously shocked. SHOCKED! Walahi it seems like two days ago that it started...and sometimes when people tell me about events that happened 3 to 4 years ago - I need to seriously sit down. How could life pass me so fast? Where has all the time gone? Does anyone feel like that? It is one of the signs after all. :eek:
