However, I think that the belief that your aunt is unquestioningly right is rather high level of arrogance. Maybe you need to read this again, you seem to have missed the point! Understand it in the contexts Khaina and Lily and me were speaking in. Oh and do quote my grins, they are there for a reason. I was simply maintaining that what me and khania said was the northern interpretation, I had already stated in the thread above about dialect difference. Hence I was not in anyway saying this is the overall meaning. By the way “nearly 100%” has a margin of error, or did you fail to notice that as well? What is a high level of arrogance according to you I don’t care too much for to be honest, I was not after your approval, but I was simply pointing out that someone who has taught me all the Somali I know, would’ve corrected me about a simple misuse of words. If you would like to attach far fetch connotations to my reasoning, then by all means go ahead. I'm not willing to result to cheap shots and misquotation and random assumptions, so I'm just leave it at that. All I have to say is you should not hide behind someone else if you have a problem. I do not believe that out of the goodness of your heart you felt she needed help from you to "get me off her back" If you care so much perhaps you can help her in other much needed ways. p.s. Your selectivity is amusing to say the least, after all, I have not said anything which can be classed as "abuse/attack" so maybe shidaan baa kuu daqhaqee and persuaded you to jump out the bush and crash land or you just saw an opportunity too good to pass. In any case, I’m almost certain that this had nothing to do with xaawash or Naomi, so please soo caddeso waaxad aniga ii duul saarantah or leave me be. By the way Nephy, she joined in 2005, innat taa yarr eeh cuusub indeed. :rolleyes:

What language buu kuu heessaya? and what is with the animal sounds? What kind of dance is it? a mix between modern dance and traditional Somali moves? Somali dance is far to X-rated for public display :eek: Men should never shake their ***!! :mad: :cool:

Not everyone that does not agree with every whimsical and logically untenable notion you have is close-minded. Waxaa kaa soo hartay quuq iyo naq naq. Be civil to others walaaleey. GEEZ I never mentioned everyone, nor did I say agree with every notion I have (where did you get that idea from?) I just mentioned your own (or rather Noaim) interpretations of a word is not my understanding of the same word. I don't expect you to change your (her) own interpretations, I just expect to you (and her) acknowledge and move one. Just because YOU (or she) has not heard of it, it does not mean that it does not exist! that was the closes mindedness I was referring to. As for being civil, I've have been very civil with you, If I have not been civil to you, sheeko, if you are speaking on someone’s behalf, they have aaf and gamco to make their own complaints walaaleey, and everyone is an adult. Nac nac is getting too much over some little terms, baal waayeh I'll let it be. Take it to space for all I care, kings, queens says Ngonge and sharamarkee speaks of hilib :rolleyes: I'm out :cool:

I'm really looking forward to his new book. Norman Finkelstein unlike Noam Chomsky has never mixed his words or tried to please the pro Israel Lobby groups. I doubt he will miss his job much, but he can now join the growing list of academics being frozen out by lobby groups including John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt (also looking forward to reading their book The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy) The list is growing and they cannot be silenced for ever. The pro Israel lobby is weaking at an alarming rate in America which was always their back bone (for finance and they had full y control of education, publication etc) they seem to be losing that grip, slowly but surely as Americans realize that it is not in their best interest.!

Ngonge: I meant in this case, I'm already blinded by that said fog of love, I mean it could not possible get any better, surely this is the ultimate perfection, there is nothing more for me to wait for or see! My new dress, accessories and shoes for 2nights wedding are perfect. The satisfaction of waiting & waiting for that perfect one, knowing that sooner or later, regardless of how long your browse, how many your try on, you will find THE perfect one. I’m so glade I waited, and kept looking. Lool @ rumour spread by her.

There is not such thing as a fog of love dear, let alone being blinded by one. Xaasidnimaad iska taa, and stop uu jeebing her damn husband in the makhaad! Tell him to go home with that antidote. I don't understand why a married man needs to be at, any other places other than his house after Isha salat, so she has something to complain about... I'm just not sure it is his romance or lack of telling her "he loves her" that is the problem.

^^^I was surprised at the women, but then I thought why stress about a made up story.! Lool, p.s. I think she got her just deserved desert! after all she insisted, Mac sonkor I say. Maybe now she will allow him to say it (maybe not in those exact words) in his own time, not coerced and forced out of him.

Lily Me too, my interpretation is correct.. I'm nealry 100% sure. Edo always asks me to make Qaxwa with xawash and I make tea with xawash, I'm sure all these years she would have pointed it out. looool, HAHA at people with small ears! looooll. Lily xawaasha is not word...what is the collective name for these tea xawaash's that you have listed?

lool HAHA. Move over...Ngonge is back!

Odd you say that dear, You contributed the most in this thread, I just did a thread count! no wonder it is boring Leave it for reer Londoners, especially as they don't take orders well(hpw dare you close their thread!. Watch how they all start posting now.

^^Who should stop posting? everyone? why?

hmm I like the blog. My thoughts are vivid moving imagery like Val, kind like role acting, most of the time I know how some one is going to react when I tell them something, because I'd played it out in my head before hand, and I can confuse myself into thinking that I'm already had this conversation before with them, I'm forever accusing people of having conversations with them....does that mean I’m going mad toolow. As for thinking before speaking....erm I normal think AFTER I have spoken. I say things as and when I think of them, so I tent to jump from 10 different subjects in 5mins (or talking about a number topics in one go), no obvious links from one topic to another, no warning that I’m changing topics. I also talk very fast. People tent to get lost, and I might have to point out links or repeat myself. I come across as habaar waalan who is very jumpy and excited, I’m always laughing/ smiling even when there is nothing to laugh about ( it cheers me up) people either think I’m mad or it rubs off on them. I tent to think in english, but it comes out mix of somali, english, and some Arabic.

^^lol Dr. Phil. Some people are clearly still kids here, seriously people should not have kids if they have that attitude, A father should be able to do everything that a mother does for her child, including changing nappies, washing him, feeding/ cooking for them etc. Life is not guaranteed if I dropped dead or I'm ill or for whatever reason I cannot take care of my child at that moment, who ever is the father of my child better be good enough to bring up my child and take care of them in the best possible way. What kind of mentality is niin kaa xaragoonay taking care of his child or think it is slavement. :mad: People like that should NOT be allowed to have kids, and I cannot understand women who have children with men with that kind of attitude :mad: Can I get an iissssssh from the girls Moving on, Romance is what ever turns your pages as an individual, and you should understand how the person you've married expresses their love, if you are not happy with it, then you should not have married him in the first place, no point trying to change them. I find flowers, chocolates etc such cliché, boring and unimaginative. I could walk into a shop and buy them myself if I really wanted them. Yet I cannot define what I think is romance, because it depends on the situation I was in when the action occurred, many factors such as whether I was expecting it, element of surprise, the usefulness or practicality of it, the length of time or thought they spent on it, whether I needed it or liked it, and my general mood at that moment. This whole issue of hinting, suggesting erm again, if you have to hint or suggest, hence shaping their action so that they do something that they had not intention of doing or is not in their nature, then it is not romantic, they did it because you told them to.

^^what is it with you and that term recently?? LOZ bleeding obvious, why they don't they ever do some useful research.! :rolleyes:

^^^ lool. Naomi and Nephthys, don't be so close minded, you could not possible think we all speak same way and use same words for same things. Yes we add spices to our tea Naomi, Hayel is one of those spices. And yes I'm looking forward to my old age, and since you are dying to know my age, after all you keep referring to it, I am 29, I will be turning 30 in 2months time. So yes I have embraced all the things that are to come, Hubby makes his own damn tea, what do I look like? the tea lady :rolleyes: and he is still alive waax kaal maa haasina?...

^^^eternal youth/ young at heart etc is just a polite way of saying you are afraid to grow up and face life changes and mature dear. Ask Zenobia is you don't believe me, we say qaxwo for tea with xaawash. Coffee is buun.

^^loool^ Haha. I should try that sometime. NB, I was referring to this I do not keep a collection of 24yr olds, I like my men like my daily qaxwo.. Rich, Dark(marin lol), and hot You do know Qaxwo means Tea right....maana Aaf soomaliga kuu baara haadab waa yaab eh! Isslamaah maxa laaga see yaa baal?? :rolleyes: don't worry in time you too will lose our youth, your teeth and look old and wrinkly haadee allah naafta kuu taadyo! Death and/ or old age is a certainty.

^^^lool. Zenobia; lool, I see you have changed colours since I saw you last. How bored are you guys?? For those of you who were expecting a show! shame on you!!! You know I'm not a bully... so get a life you big kids! NB: Did you miss my underlining sarcasm, ( erm I was kidding about being jealous oh well never mind. Good luck with your tea ahem *men* I mean.

Whatever your wife or husband deems to be romantic is gaaddamn romantic even if she wants little whip here and there that is romantic! if the farax beleives you bringing his weeso as romantic that is romantic....everyone sees romance in different light! lool, haha

^^loool^ Yep I have mastered that art!. I text a lot, but it is not just the calls, I have a bad memory, so my phone runs my life for me, what time I wake up, when I sleep, what I have to do each day, appointments, meetings, numbers, dates, addresses, passwords. I have everything in there.

I would ask you to point out what gave you such impression, or exactly what you observed, because I totally missed it but frankly I cannot be bothered to continue this..... :cool: Contest you say?? lool okay Have you not noticed, I'm jealous of your collection of all the 24+ Farahs in London and your booming social life and your Job, Oh and your great attitude to life, not to mention you wonderful observation skills. lol seriously don't worry your pretty head, I'm just kidding. :cool: p.s. Dabshid :rolleyes: Are you imagining things dear?

^^loool^ right on the money there! I have a question for people! is there anyone who does not have a phone?? I forgot my phone today I've never felt so lost, out of touch, unloved and lonely! Even worse the feeling of lack of control of my life and surroundings and cut off from everything and everyone. I realised when I got to work, and I entertained the thought of going home to get it! How does anyone function without a phone in this day and age?

North you are too fast for your own good! HAHa sorry. Jac must be laughin that he was missed to the extent that someone rang him! HAHa

^^Are you kidding me? Sounds like you have been upgraded. Mashallah. Lucky for some eh!.

^^loool He said when he does return he will be back with vengeance and he will post 10 threads every 5mins I'm serious, he said he had enough, and is using few other forums to fill the time SOl took up. 3years of abuse is not being thin skinned Ngonge.
