wats really funny is how he (the guy who's interviewed) goes on and tries to pass himself off as someone from all sorts of countries and runs away from his own ...dang the guy is crazy...

I shall share with you all a little story, it has absolutely nothing to do with anything said on this post, but I’ll tell it anyway, it’ll lighten things up. My aunty (bless her soul) is one of those woman who wear the veil, now this aunty loves to dress in black, I mean seriously dressed in black (i.e. black skirt, hijab, gloves, shoes, the veil…etc). So on a day like any HOT day, she was going to the bank dressed in black to last article of clothing. I, her favourite niece went along with her, on our way to the bank people stared, kids pointed and ran when my aunt said “boo†did I mention my aunt loves to scare ppl?? Well she does, but anyhow, back to the story finally after all the “boosâ€, the running kids, the finger pointing, the stares and oh the insults we go to the bank. It was a very busy day, hot and long line ups…a really bad day. But my aunt was determined to get her money, so we got in line. Now right in front of us there was this man who kept fidgeting and looking back, my aunt turns towards me and says “ this man is afraid, he thinks I’ve got something under my hijab, what would he do if I put my bag under my hijab and made it look like a had a gun?†I said “that’s crazy!†But being equally as evil as her I told her to do it. And so she did. Alla guess what the guy did next??? Ya rabbi this man dropped his papers, pointed at my aunts hijab and screamed “she has a gun!†did I tell you that she wears the long kind of hijab?? Well she does Hmm I forget important parts of my story, but anywho! Let’s move on. The man ran to the other line away from us… my aunt being in a rather mischievous mood picked up the silly man’s papers and walked towards him (still holding one hand under her hijab) let me just say that the man’s bladder was strong that day…he turned ghost pale and ran like he had a lion chasing him!! My aunt laughed and walked up to the security guard, handed over the papers to him, and flashed her gun/purse on her way back to the line. This little incident gave everyone in the bank something to laugh about. Oh what fools we are when we look at other and make assumptions. Tell me y’all found that interesting and uplifting … okay so maybe it wasn’t uplifting, but it gave you something to laugh about …right? ps was this fictional?...hmmmm ta ta

when is your wife ever happy? all i'm gettin is a woman who is smart,loves to argue, cleans,cooks , takes care of the kids ...the list goes on...does she ever smile? laugh? tell a joke? lord this is one serious marriage. ta ta

that hadith is true the prophet (PBUH) did say that. Now is there not a hadith about not insulting, pestering or simply bugging someone who has done NOTHING to you? correct me if i'm wrong, i dont know who sue is, i dont remember any of her earlier posts and i'm pretty damn sure i've never said anythin to her (before the reply i've made in here), now what i'm trying to get at is why has this sis taken it upon herself to start somethin out of nothin and point the finger at me? you hate on the baro so much that you're at the point where you'll attack anything and anyone with that name. abaayo you already said you dont know who i am, so let me be, i am my own person i write when i want and voice MY own thoughts not those of others, the baro at the end of my name is just that a name, so dont tell me that i need to establish myself or watever it was u said. ps. plz dont question my maturity, you can read what i write but dont go on and jugde me, aight...thats all i gotta say pps.how was it that a question that dawoco asked me (which i answered) has turned into this? yall need to back off it was between me and dawoco i had no problem with her question infact i found it funny...its all done with, khalaas. **hmmm its odd how we as humans find the smallest things to argue about** ta ta

Bamrambaro? darlin see i could get all defensive now since you've insulted my name, but i'm not like that. I don’t take words said by a faceless person seriously. I have my reasons for choosing that name, just like you do for yours. I, like some ppl, am on SOL to learn my native tongue...and u speak of motives? please! Assumptions only make you look foolish. Don’t point fingers at anyone the baros haven’t done anything but have fun and add a little brightness into a dull place. Sure they may bother nomads here and there but go ahead and bother them right back getting angry wont solve anything you’ll just get premature grays. And if their words and posts disgust you…why then are you reading this one, I’m pretty sure the topic was called “wlc barambaroâ€. Stay on SOL as long as you wish no one has the power to kick you out except the admin ofcourse the baro family haven’t run anyone out of here as far as I know. Getting back to the problem with dawoco, i will apologise on behalf of those baros that have insulted you or ganged up on you, sorry sis. What I don’t get is, sullen sue here you are arguing that the baros ganged up on dawoco and defending her, but has she asked for your help? Could I not take your interference and livid words about the baros as an insult and retaliate? Ofcourse I could, but I wont I shall leave you with a couple words of wisdom: “practice what you preachâ€â€¦ and “ its only words said by a faceless person, don’t be a fool and get angry if that faceless person says something ****** â€â€¦ Until they reform kulaha…cajiib! But I shall leave that comment alone…see how “mature†I am?. ta ta

it all depends on the shade of pink the guy is wearin...if he's wearin a dull pink colored shirt that aint a prob...now say he wore a petal pink shirt (really nice pink...reminds u of flower petals or cotton candy) then the guy aint straight...he's crossed the border line! some shades (not colors) should just not be worn by men, its an unwritten rule. "blue is for boys and pink is for girls" those were Miss Smith's words back in junior K. ta ta

High schools, colleges, and universities have opened up and classes have started…I take the time now to wish you all another successful school year ….may god make it easy for all of you… …Amiiin ta ta

okay this may sound dumb (dont jump me now, its just a question) but since when does chad kill ppl? i thought it messed up ur teeth along with other unmentionable things...oh well **wonders why her uncle is still alive, the lil devil!** ta ta

lool...dont worry ur head sis...thanks for the advice and all but i've got my reasons for choosing this name ..and believe me i was sure bout the spellin its just that with the somali language one word has a million ways of being pronounced. as for tiimbaro or cambaro...well tiimbaro sounds rather odd and cambaro...um..was that not the name of a crazy woman?? or was it another story?? hmm oh well.. thanks again

is it barambaro or baranbaro? :confused: i've always pronounced it with an "m"...but i could be wrong...so which one is right??

thank u all ever so kindly for that warm welcome!...the family is doin great alhamdulillaah, though ur old man is kinda angry that you haven't sent him much in these last couple of months..shame on u all! **shakes head**

^^^somehow after every response u make i'm either confused or annoyed...odd really.. back to the topic ...a name is not just a name...hmmm there was a hadith somewhere bout giving ur child a name that has a good meanin so it might reflect his or her character (ie namin ur child "satan"), oh well i dont remember the hadith word for word but it went along those lines,now about a name effectin ur looks...well now that i think of it all the zainab(s) i've seen have all been dark...not ugly, just dark.. oh and about half of the faduma's i've met have got major attitude ...and are quite fiesty ps..no offense to any zainab or faduma in here. ciao

i knew i should have taken that trip to somalia this year!! perhaps then i would have learned a couple of words wat happened to the girl? kindly translate that essay into english plz...if u dont mind that is..just sum it up into a paragraph ...thanks ciao

ofcourse dear! i'd like for him to stay and possibly video tape the entire process ... just as a reminder of wat i'd gone through...kinda like a deterrent on any future kids....kiddin ppl...ofcourse i dont want it video taped!! i haven't gotten that crazy ..yet! but havin the father of my child there to hold my hand would be nice..i mean i didn't get pregnant on my own and i sure as hell aint havin it on my own either! ciao.

thats just not right!! :mad: ciao

looooooooool....god, I can relate to that kid!! ciao

lol... perhaps you shouldn't have asked as many questions buumaayee. somali women givin men (somali men i'm assumin) heart attack??..i can see how that would happen..okay here it goes: Asha (somali lady) walks down the street, lookin all pretty in her over priced dirac..now ali (somali man) was sittin with his pals on the grass eatin CHAD ( is that spelt right?) now upon seein the sight of this pretty lady..each of men choked, coughin all over the place and pumpin their chests in hopes of regainin their breath,with the chad stuffed in their mouths blockin their air way, the men fell unconscious. Now when they awoke, they blamed the woman claimin she gave them the heart attack! wat heart attack? they had choked! oh the troubles of chad!! will men ever learn? :confused: ladies , stay pretty and give as many 'heart attacks' as you see fit. oh and the story took place in somalia...where else can u eat chad on the grass without the cops arrestin you??? ciao

yes (insha allah) pop the question and offer an empty ring box (i'm just doin it cuz he's takin too long, but to actually buy the ring.. :eek: .god forbid.....No!)he'll have to fill that empty finger of mine ..oh and his as well..(but ofcourse i'd do it according to the teachings of islam.....as soon as i find out how a woman proposes in islam...) ciao

get yourself boyfriends or something or live like a non? Both are xaaraam in the Islam. i know the boyfriend thing is xaraam but never gettin married is xaraam too??? ...plz post the hadeeth u got that from, cuz if thats true then that would make marriage something one "has' to do, rather than somethin one "wants' to do. ciao

Hello everyone... this story made me laugh when i read it, hope you guys find it just as funny...its got a lesson to teach as well...which is why its in the women section rather than the jokes.... ENJOY!! A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: "Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen. God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries, Paid the bills and balanced the check book. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, Then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without a complaint. The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back." The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night." ciao
