ooouuucc. They come for my sister and I get offered? If I were her, I'd slaughter the guy(for not making clear he was DYING for ME). I'd torch my lot for offering me so casually and throw up. They can use my vomit to put out their flaming macawis. Edited cause I sounded schizo.

^have u not been reading what some of them(young men) think of them?

Some of u men think highly of women. Where are you? :rolleyes: Rayaana, I reckon it's genes. And a huge dollop of SOH. Oh and some of y'all really ought to get out some more.

Bloody hell!!How come no one sends me PMs?? LOL. Hehe. Anyway, girls I'm glad to see you sorting it out.

30 and 40 are old? LooooL. If that's the case then phew that I look younger than I am. A few weeks ago I had to see a new doctor at the clinic. In the middle of what was already a bizarre chat with him(what did I do? I had a beautiful name etc.) a female doctor barges in without so much a by-your-leave. Already sceptical about the first doc's diagnosis(I'm being kind, he was clueless), the lady doctor starts: Are u Sheh? Yes YOU are Sheh? Yes I am. You are XX years old? Yeah You are NOT XX years old! Really I am. I get this all the time.. I think she's lying to us(looking at Doc 1) Doc 1 sits back and agrees with Doc 2 I am NOT lying, I really AM XX years old!! Doc 2 stands there arms crossed. I feel 12. And finally leave. I am changing clinics. Anyway, u people have not met enough fabulous older people if u think 40 is old. Get out and live a little..

Xoogsade, the one thing I am often 'accused' of is bravery/courage in other areas of life. A girl's gotta have some fears. LOL. Ii daa my marriage inhibitions. Having said that I am not entirely averse to men. A couple have been known to catch my quivering attention.

I doubt Hibo needs to go to all this trouble to find herself a boy. There is no need to personalise this. Again. Move on people. Hibo, girl u have ENERGY. U might be inundated. Do u have a spreadsheet ready?

Fidel, I am not an American, praise the Lord. Xoogsade, cool idea for adrenaline junkies. Personally I'd jump out of a plane easier than I would jump into a marriage.

Very sorry to hear that Orgilaqe. Let everyone decide for themselves sure! But if u have those details could u please let me have them anyway? I said I'd do it and I shall. Don't punish the rest of us lazy buggers cause of a few who had the energy to PM you with doubts! U said u'd confirm it over the weekend, why couldn't they wait?? Arrrgh. Anyway, I mailed only 4 people late Friday afternoon. I have one definite response so far: GIVE ME YOUR BANK DETAILS AND I CAN TRANSFER SOME MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT She doesn't ususally shout but I guess it got to her and she trusts me. I am quite willing to go with it. God will reward us regardless, our intentions are good and we won't be giving away anything that will break our banks. I'll send out a follow-up email. Nothing like an annoying email. May be I've said before I hadn't given anything to someone needy for a while. Oh well, as always happens, after deciding to contribute to this cause I got some positive news the following day. Inshallah it will lead to something concrete. So can I please ask you to post the details anyway? For the lazy amongst us? Don't pause on the cause..please.

Huh? Reckon you know what I mean. But don't leave on Fidel's account. Leave on the women's.

WOL, didn't know that. Don't know much really, just feel a need to see it soon. looking at flights to Cuba, shoot

Did Fidel mistaken you into thinking he was a woman? Say yes... Thought u were above that, mate?

don't say I never do anything for you

Listened twice. Painful twice.

so have u been? A friend's going this winter. I have been envious for weeks. If she comes back raving I will be 'forced' to go b4 end of the year, God willing.

^kinda hoping the guy will stay alive. Cuba after his demise will be something else. I want to see it before it transforms into this something else. Entirely selfish, I know.

Yes, bro, I'm in inshallah. I'm as broke as I've ever been, wait, the brokest I've ever been so if I can't give now, I don't deserve richness. Alxamdulilaahi cala kuli xalin. I'll give what I can and round up a few friends and errm go for the jugular- starting now. Will forward the link. The image speaks for itself(I don't have Somali mates). Keep us posted.

Make the info public, pls. It is easier to get people to contribute to something that somebody else has already started. I'm sure u'll be rewarded more for taking the intitiative and making it easier for the rest to contribute, O.

Og_Girl, that's quite a story there. Lool reminds of the time when I was trying to buy a train ticket in London and the guy behind the counter was being a little awkward. He was being awkward cause he liked the look fo me though I didn't know it initially. I was in a damn hurry and had to be somewhere in 5 minutes(running) and he was grilling me because I hadn't bought my ticket at the destination where I had started the journey(the ticket office there was closed). Anyway, I'm trying to be patient when he asks me where I think he's from. Now I know a Sri Lankan when I see one. I say Sri Lanka. He is so shocked that I 'guess' correctly. His expression now softens and he starts to look like.. I don't know, girls know the look. Now I really wanna run. So he asks me where I'm from. I say I'm Somali. He nearly vomits. His face turns into thunder. He's disgusted he was trying it on with me. He goes on about how awful Somalis are and how he can't believe I could be one. He was lucky there was a glass screen between us. I actaully manage the usual spiel about how all people are not the same and if he had bad experiences with some Somalis..blah, blah, all the while my blood is on the boil. I find it amusing that Somalis think they're God's gift to humanity: they're good looking(cause they don't look 'African'), they're not Arab(though many will have Arab blood), they're not white(black is beautiful), they're not kafirs(Islam!Islam!Islam). All this justifies having a string of names for other peoples and still they have the audacity to shout foul when dissed.

still call it doo doo do you? U didn't understand what I wrote. Digest before you regurjitate. There's a good boy.

^just how old are you? Farts and crap and sexual innuendos. Puberty!! U'll get through it.

U see what i'm talking about? Ridiculous.

Originally posted by Jacaylbaro: Are you defending Arabs ??? For using that word? No. But I know enough Arabic to make their heart stop if they dare to call me that within earshot of me. Just because they use it, doesn't mean they don't know it's wrong. ALL cultures are guilty of this kind of behaviour.

Not much to discuss, is there? Another derogatory word. This will just turn into an opportunity to bash Arabs and it'll be boring and hypocritical. Somalis use negative words for negros. What's there to discuss?

Ina lilaahi wa ina ileyhi raajicuun.
