Sorry hun. Whatever you said/did that makes you think its your fault - IT'S NOT. Your parents were most likely having difficulties in the marriage for a long time. Take a step back and realize that you are not responsible for the relationships of others. If you are in your late teens/early twenties....start focusing on yourself.

The context http://www.worldpressphoto.org/photo/world-press-photo-year-2011-0 WORLD PRESS PHOTO OF THE YEAR 2011 15 October 2011 A woman holds a wounded relative in her arms, inside a mosque used as a field hospital by demonstrators against the rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, during clashes in Sanaa, Yemen on 15 October 2011.

Great writing BOB. love the first story. the beauty of having children

LOL...sad

^ Yea its pretty but at what cost?! Miskiin this winter is FREAKING ME OUT. Its global warming and things are going down hill from here. Its not suppose to be +5 in February in Toronto of all places.

I wonder what portion of that budget is going towards social services?

Check out this youtube channel if you have 3c or 4a hair type. http://www.youtube.com/user/kimmaytube?blend=1&ob=4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> I also like the CHI by Farouk hair line. I almost own all their products - best if you want to straighten your hair. If you are looking for a new straightener - invest in the CHI - totally changed my life lol

Mine is the best I just say, "That one mummy I want to meet that one!" *Poof* A couple of weeks later he's sitting in my living room ( lured there under false pretenses). She's the best, she always delivers. Too bad, I haven't liked any of them on closer inspection. LOL your mom is the BOSS love it. She should consider being a match-maker and charging for her services.

One more. The Weeknd - High for This.

Nina Simone - Ne Me Quitte Pas Elle Varner - Only Wanna Give it to you The Weeknd - Wicked Games (TORONTO!!!!)

Love ^ his version . This is Nina Simone's version of Feeling Good - pretty awesome.

Plus you don't need to spend that much on a great wedding - max $6000 - that could easily include everything from the hall, dress&accessories, food and transportation. At the end of the day its the people there that make it special - and what's more lovely than having an intimate wedding with your closest family/friends.

Agreed! What's the point of spending $25,000+ on one stressful day and then hop on a car and go to Niagara Falls the next day or worse off..to your apartment. Dear God. A long and and amazing honey money would create more memories than the your wedding party honestly.

Peace, Love & Unity.

LOL...yes you are the only one that would perhaps admit it publicly on the forum. Also, YES its wrong. .....randomness.

Life is full of disappointments, accept and trudge along.

^ LOL the irony!

With all sincerity, I would like to hear from women on this forum that have married men living back home/middle east - or know of someone who has, just curious has to what your experience was like

Well said Blue!

Not to ruin the thread any further - thought I would share this "WHY THIS KOLAVERI DI" lol

^ LOL

Walahi ya Che I think the two can take place simultaneously in a halal environment. On the idea of mixers - would that really work for Somalis? - you would know everyone in the room already lol and if you didn't' know them immediately - within two or three questions you would know 10 people in common.

wow this looks good. seriously its been a while since a good somali movie was released.

lol Che - being a fixture at your mainly somali masjids is a win win solution! You are closer to our faith and deepen your eman and inshallah you will find the right person there. Ps. as a man you cannot begin to sympathize with Sam's plight. All you have to do is chill/relax at home while your hoyo, random habryars and edos throw different girls at you - and not until you hit the age of 40 are you even considered SLIGHTLY odd for not being married. At that point a quick trip to Somali/Kenya/Norway/UAE and you are immediately married. Thanks Aaliyah. I would like to add a last suggestion Sam, consider importing a husband from East Africa or the Middle East. At this age, your passport is an asset to be exploited. Choose wisely and you will get a partner that is indebted to you for life!

^ LOVE JILL SCOTT! she's equally amazing live. complete magic = her + common = "8 minutes to sunrise" "you just running across my mind..."
