Has anybody seen the 100yrs old Senate who just retired few days ago??? - He made me wonder about our folx, who starts talking about death n give up living life at around late 50's!! Makes you not wanna be around them - so discouraging. I'll never let age get to me, as long as i'm healthy and practicing my religion. I'ma live my life. And yeh I'll be 18 this coming new year - January 1st. PS: Remember exercising makes you 10yrs younger.

Lool @ Nadiya. Thanks for pointing the truth out. That's exactly why I didn't even bother to comment on this thread. MN is atleast better then Columbus(Ohio) where nomads literally go: "Xaaakhhh Tuuuf" on the streets.

WooW - Sounds like the "American Idol." Let us know which cities you'r going to stop by first.

Suuban: Runtaa. Laakin, caddowga aad sheegaysid waa wax hore. Maanta labada gacmood + labada lugood baa wax lagu gooyaa.

Take it easy every1 - She must not be talking about us, cuz last time I checked we were called Somalis, not "somlaians or somlian."

Just cuz we'r Muslim doesn't mean we'r Arabs. Wasn't it Siad Barre who begged and sobbed to Arabs to have the Somalis join the Arab league in 1969?? If the rest of the world perceived Somalis as Arabs, they would surely have Arabs featuring the movie Black Hawk. Don't you think? Stop discriminating one another, nobody gives a rat's tail whether you'r light skinned, soft featured, nappy haired or flat nosed. Wake up and smell the Soomaalinimo.

Hey Shaq, I almost puked when I saw that on Thursday, they aired it briefly on BBC news - Was shocked even more to see the live audience. Is it supposed to be an educational?? I mean its not like the Food channel network, where you cook along with the chef - or do they expect pple to have bodies at home and operate them along with the Doc? Crazy eh'. There were once an old family friend lady, who visited her son in Romania who was then a medical student. One of the nights she was awakened by little noises and sounds, as she got up to check it out, she found her son and collegues practicing on a dead body in his living room. The lady caught the first flight out to Somalia, thinking her son was a cannibal.

People become Insecure when they'r afraid of being judged ie; When a girl is half dressed -wearing those tight tiny toptanks that looks like a five year old kid's outfit etc. Luckily I walk around with a huge smile on ma face - Its hard to miss it, and before saying anything they either nod, smile or say Hi.

True dat. Patience is how most moms raised 6 or 7 kids in a remote world where making up with abox of tiffany was out of the norm. LOL @ the lady with the Food Trap!! She followed the Grannies of all nation's rule of thumb: Feed HiM.- and u should've a doormat for life. " The key to aman's heart is thru his Stomach" - Granny 1612

Think about the loud, disgusting, profanity laced rap music these days - full of hood rats who couldn't spell have the words in the song they are rapping - Not Worth It - Probably those bling bling kids' monthly income is higher then an educated individual's yearly income. An education is an investment in yourself and your future - Don't let that fast money make you doubt that.

Loving and honouring moms doesn't make one a wimp or a 'Mamoone' - However; being under mom's thumb, & not knowing where to draw the line is what earns a man the title: Mama's boy.

A family holiday is understandable - Dumping a kid is indefensible. 9 out of 10times the kids r tricked, and dragged Against their Will - Not always as pleasant as you guys seem to put it. Some parents have the guts to leave a kid or two behind with the supervision of a Geeljire relative and not blink an eye!!! Not to mention the # of girls getting their treasures butchered each Summer. I'd rather call it 'Traumatizing children' then 'Dhaqan Celis.' - There are always Boot camps for out of control teenagers - Parents should consider that option before trashing their kids.

Great topic as usual :cool: Not all of them are witches - Some Mother In Laws are decent and so nurturing. Not intentionally trying to bash on Moms or to come out stereotyping - But the females from the husband's side could make your life aliving hell. (Only if you let them or the Husband is "Mamoone" aka Mama's boy ) Always getting involved - overly interested in their son/bro's marriage life. Starting from the wife's nail polish on her toes to the ring on her finger - Some mother inlaws trully expect to know what her son had for dinner, and how he spends his money. No matter how well the wife contributes to the marriage ie; financially, his mom is always a critique - assuming its her son's $$$ she's burning. A husband's mom is one of the hardest challenge in a woman's life and those who made it through deserve national recognition. Pretty shallow but some females pray for a man whose mom already passed away!!! PS: The saying: "When one marries he's married to the whole family" - I don't think it means he'd have to answer to each and everyone, but as a culture must help out the extended family if needs be when he can.
