Alla, what do I despise oldies who try to tell me what I can, can't, should or shouldn't do. It's like I carry a sign with me that says that any passing Soomaali should give their two cents and dictate how I should behave for the rest of that day. Like the woman for example, a while ago, who felt compelled to drop her groceries and run to me from across the street and tell me point blank that she did not like the shoes I was wearing because they were drawing too much attention. Or our next door neighbour, who I vehemently despise with all my being, and who got the urge to come and wash all our curtains when my parents went to HAJJ couple years ago. Putting all this aside, I think it would be too much to ask for Soomaali to mind their business. It would be like asking a monkey to never eat banana's again. I have given up telling them that they can sod their advice and telling offs, and now just respond to their never ending banter with a curt nod. However, what I loathe more is the way they confer their unwanted "suggestions". It has gone way beyond politeness, it's often rude and when it's not rude, it's often said with a righteous air surrounding the whole thing. I have given up a long time to try and understand WHY these people, who I often don't know and have no family ties connecting me to them feel the need to correct my "ways". It's possible that they are trying to fill in a empty void in their life, or get some kind of high, knowing that they have just ruined a person's day and mood. I would advice you to not lose night's sleep over them. Sod the lot of them! With that, I will skipp out and get my tea and biscuits. Ta-da

that's nice to know, its the weekend and im feeling like pampering myself i was wondering whether any of the gals know how to make wax, i was told once before...somehow i only remember two ingredients which are lemon and sugar let me know if u know any

^^^ waraa yur...iga leexo gabadha But damn, the blond chick got beaten badly, in the end she was just lying there...tut tut tut....never start what you can't finish Biis and Bariis

^^ Even then they would probably still miss the whole point and comment on how good the camera captured all the "action" :rolleyes: Brown-Brotha and Dawaco well said, unless they were there they will have no way of knowing the impact it has on a person ------------------- I don't believe in emails. I'm an old fashioned girl. I prefer calling and hanging up

I don't know any of the two cartoons you mentioned, but give me Dragon Ball Z anytime :cool: Krillin: "I don't have any special powers. Hell, if I had special powers, I'd have a head full of hair!" -- probably one my favorite quotes ------------------------- I don't believe in emails. I'm an old fashioned girl. I prefer calling and hanging up

I can't believe some people here can talk so lightly about this. I'm seriously disturbed by this thread, I don't know why people are acting like it's such an easy thing to talk about whilst sipping your cuppa or what not. If I never hear about it again it would be too soon. As small as I was, I don't think that children should be subjected to that.

Congrats Abaadir Nasteex Hanad Sade Kaamil Maalik P.S. when you do have your son, let us know what you decided on!

loool....kewl i hit the grinning twat at 320 miles per hour

FF You should be ashamed of yourself girl, talking about all of those poor guys like that. I thought generalising like that was a thing of the past, but I guess not. Here is me thinking that you of all people is the most sensible one, and has sympathy for our men. Ranting on and on for pity's sake, how is that going to solve anything. They are just fine the way they are. If you've got a bone to pick, do so, but refrain using eyeblinding words like arseholes ---------------------- I don't believe in emails.

agh...i could kill for one of those i would like to meet whoever said that a working day should start at 9 am... :mad: i best be off....i am going to take another coffee break

Shit, I forget one My All Time Fav.... Eric Clapton with You Were Wonderful Tonight

The LAPD, the FBI, & the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it. The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist. The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming. The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay, okay, I'm a rabbit, I'm a rabbit."

^^^ i always burst out laughing when i see those emoticons anyway...It's not good for women to be presidents, simply because they fill in these stereotypes that "women are trying to compete with men". Besides I think it's against our diin too...though I don't want to sound too sure of myself, I might be wrong. Auf wiedersehen

has anyone solved the great mystery around Velvet's avatar??

walks in with an air of importance "So another half-wit thinks that he can come and ask for my hand just like that" she says, nose curled up disgustingly "If you think 5 thousand dollars is enough, then you got a better chance at hunting lions" and with that she exits with her entourage, unknown whether she will be seen again in the next decade or so

When you can't sleep at night Because he's always on your mind And you close your eyes But his memory is all you find - When he's not with you And you can't think straight And you daydream for hours About how this might be fate - When you hear his voice And you feel your heart pound And your palms start to sweat Whenever hes around - When you imagine every love song Is made for the two of you And just to make him smile There's nothing you wouldn't do - When you hang on his every word And seeing him laugh makes you blush And seeing his body Gives you an adrenaline rush - When you can't help but smile When he stumbles over his words Because he sounds so adorable The cutest thing you've heard - When you stare into his eyes And cant bring yourself to look away And you picture your life with him Every single day - When you talk for hours on end Staying up all night Just listening to each other It just feels so right - When you have a fight You can't stop the tears And you feel so bad You can't hide from your fears - When you talk it through And you forgive and forget And your happier then before Without any regrets - These are the signs Sent down from above When these things happen to you You know you're in love
