^^Look young lady. Death can only be welcomed by those with as little sins as possible. And looking at it from the angle of the sinners, (include me in this list), more time is needed to repent. Thus, welcoming death is out of the question, until one is sure that he has repented enough. Now, even if I were to repent as much, I won't be sure if all my sins have been cleared off! You see the dilema? And that, my dear, makes me want more life and less death - for now at least.

Regardless of your plans. I think we should welcome death. Of course; every soul tastes death. But welcome it? You are expecting too much from frightened souls.

^^You shouldnt be joking about this kind of stuff. I am touchy about it 'cos I had a close call yesterday. And it was no joke- it was a really bad day .

^^Horta definitionally, dameer iyo labadiisa dhegood waa different, soo ma ogid?

^^An ASBO? Actually is like the mark of zoro on your forehead. It earns you respect nowadays .

^^Sigaarkaa daran baan ku leeyahay. Qaadka ma uro you know. Waana qudaar .

^^ . Isa soo doox? Shayma ma anaad maanta i tiri isa soo doox? Bow bow! Zenobia, I don fink so! GSE is still operational and still on top of the game- I would have you know .

Sorry, ma dagaal baa bilaabmay? I didn't even know. This is serious. Update us people. I always thought it was a flirtation with war and not actual war. Allow na badbaadi.

^^Qaad is not a big deal, young lady. It's nooc minal qudaar .

^^No, the husband didn't die for the TFG, he died in 1992. Read the 1994, two years after her husband was killed. Mind you, the TFG came into existence in 2004, not 1994

^^Loool, and it worked. I like the sense of direct communication with the evil the name embodies. 'Oh no ye evil one, Not Kind to take this one too!' And thus the evil heeded the advice and let it go.

Good for the BBC Somali. Having the old blood out of the system voluntary is a blessing in disguise. I say the few old newsreaders remaining should retire too- give way to younger ones.

The son’s name? Never Trust a Woman. Looool. Bloody hell. Just imagine trying to smooth-talk a woman and introducing yourself; 'hello sweet thing, how are we doing this fine day, eh?' (stretching your hand out to her) ' I am NeverTrustAWoman, whats yours?'

I am just wondering though; is it only lost things or stolen things that are found in Suuq Al Soomaal? I am trying to find the implied message here. PS: Erm about that Patrick Jaramogi guy; don't give him any attention. Just a silly African scouting for some attention. Thats all he is really.

^^My apologies mate. I get the names wrong mostly, Ayoub . Lol. I know they are not spring chicken themselves but considering their likelihood to retire, they give me hope in Somali old timers. Islaamaha iyo Odeyaasha hees-heesa don't even have the word retirement in their vocab sxb. That worries me.

^^I have in my possesion 'Magacyada Gabdhaha Soomaalida' or 'The Names of Somali Girls'. I was shopping around for girl-child names when I found (in Golkhatumo) a list compiled by a good fellow called Xassan 'Alto'. Thanks Alto. So here they are: Magacyada Gabdhaha Soomaalida: Hordhac Magacyada loo bixiyo hablahayaga waxay muujiyaan hiddahayaga, deegaan iyo asal ahaan halkaannu ka soo jeedno, kobta juqraafi ahaan dunida kaga noolnahay, ama waxay cabbir muuqda ka bixiyaan muuqaalka inamaha, qaab iyo qeex uu waalidku la jeclaado ama u saadaaliyo. Mararka qaarkood laga yaabee haweeneey jeeska ka tirsan ama ka tirsanaan jirtay in loogu magacdaro oo lagu sammiyo. U walqalidda gabadhaada waajib weyn weeye oo muhim ah. Cilminafsiyahannada (psychologists) waxay sheegaan in haddii habluhu ku faraxsanyihiin magacyadooda, nafsaddooda inta ay ifka joogaan waa u riyaaqsanaanayaan. Waqtiga kaaga baxa ka baaraandegga u raadinta magaca ugu habboon, qurxoon, dhawaaq wanaagsan carruurtaada dheddigga ah, kayd weeye aad mustaqbalka u aydo. Waxay magacyadu nisbeeyaan joog, qurux, midab, ama habsamaanta inanta sida gaarinnimadeeda, geesinnimadeeda iyo naxariisteeda. Tusaale, inantii ugu horreysey ee Dhiimo loo baxshay, laga yaabee in looga jeeday in ay lahayd midab aad u casaan ah oo guduud takhti ah. Sidoo kale, Qumman - inan weeye hagaag, hufnaan iyo wanaag badan lahayd. Hablaha qaarkood waxaa loogu magacdaraa dhirta, caleenta, iyo ubaxa, sida Cosob, Magool, Ubax, iwm, xayawaannada sida Qalanjo. Qaar kalena waxaa la siiyaa magacyada xilliyada iyo maalmaha sida Gudhalad, Isniino, iwm. Sidaas darteed, magacu waa aqoonsi ruuxu leeyahay oo muujinaya halkuu qofkaasi *** iyo isir ahaan ka soo jeedo. Waxaa ila habboon in aan la dhayalsannin, laga teginnin oo la sahashannin afka iyo luuqadda, dhaqanka iyo hiddaha magacyadu ku salaysanyihiin oo ay ku qotomaan.

Au Sumaale, your adventure might anger many narrow-minded Somalis, but having said that, what 'deities' do you already know of? Currently, there is only a handful known but I am sure further linguistic research can reveal more. There was an article written by a Somali old man, given to me by Viking which I had the pleasure of reading. You can read it too in the internet- it had been published. PS: Read Nurraddin Farah's 'Secrets' which contains some info. on pre-Islamic Somali gods, although I am not sure how correct the book is about them.

Kashafa: just wait till Neo, The One, comes along with a merry band of ethically and morally correct heroes to save the day. Lol@Neo, The One. Hail Marry, all ye Matrix fans .

Amin Allahayow, Amin!

Sept. 28, 2007, 11:24AM Woman left in CT scanner for hours after clinic closes Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. — A cancer patient says she was left alone in a CT scanner for hours after a technician apparently forget about her, and she finally crawled out of the device, only to find herself locked in the closed clinic. Elvira Tellez of Tucson said she called her son in a panic, and he told her to call 911. Pima County sheriff's deputies arriving at the oncology office had her unlock the office door to let them in, said Deputy Dawn Hanke, a department spokeswoman. The deputies contacted the office manager, who was not aware of the situation. Tellez was taken to a hospital as a precaution, then released early the next day. Tellez said she's had trouble sleeping since last week's incident. She and her family said they want an explanation from the medical office, Arizona Oncology Associates, but have yet to receive one. She said the technician did call to apologize the next day. "I don't know what to think," Tellez said in Spanish. "I think and think and think, but I can't understand it." The executive director of Arizona Oncology Associates, Sonya Holm, was in a meeting today and not immediately available for comment, her assistant said. The assistant said no one else at the statewide medical practice was authorized to comment. Diagnosed with bone cancer, the 67-year-old Tellez had been sent to the clinic for tests to see if her cancer had spread. A technician placed her inside the large machine at about 4 p.m. on Sept. 19, dimmed the lights so she could relax and told her not to move during the 25-minute procedure. "At some point, my mom lost track of time and felt like too much time had passed, but she couldn't look at a clock or anything because it was dark," her son Ariel Tellez said. After calling out, then screaming for help, she said, she spent several hours trying to free herself from the machine. Finally, she wiggled out from under a heavy blanket and out of the machine. By the time deputies found her, it had been five hours since she was placed inside. A physician who works at the practice and knew of the incident told The Arizona Daily Star it's not the first time such a thing has happened. "People have been left in the office after hours, when something like that happens — it's the same sort of thing," Dr. Steven Ketchel said. "My guess is she was lying on the table, waiting and waiting and nobody told her she could go home."
