Saalax is HY, and I would be more generous and give Haatu a B+ for effort because of the sheer amount of work and observational skills required to make these guesses, although he failed overall

I will never reveal it

This is slightly off topic but can someone explain to me why, as a people, we like curtains so much? Curtains as doors, wall-to-wall curtains, curtains on walls that have no windows, etc lol. And why does this bother me? Otherwise, cute photos

I will take a divergent view and suggest you embrace your qurba joog identifiable Somali, which will get you much further with Somalia's elite and aspiring elite, particularly the ladies in their delusions of diasporic barwaaqo. I was averaging a marriage proposal a week the last time I was in Hargeisa

I'm getting sucked in to SOL and screaming goat videos on YouTube again, so no more posts from me until I send off this paper. Beace

I first came across her as a shoe shiner in xamar when she approached me for a shine. Her shoes were as clean as a living room the night before a nikah. I didn't take too well with her at first. I felt as if she was taunting me. Never have I shined shoes as clean as hers. And never has her shoes been dirtied by hands as dirty as mine. You see, you cannot pour milk into a full vessel. When you try you end up losing more than what you started with.... Edo took notice in my frustration of this riddle brought upon me. I noticed her smile dissolved into a smirk rooted in solace seeded by my struggle. I hand her back the shoes and she hands me a shilling with the face of a white man... little did I know I will end up in Hargeisa again and this would be only the beginning of my journey with edo. To be continued... :D

Nice try SP, but we were reer Holland during my early years

I loved Scott Pilgrim, in part because all of my Toronto stomping grounds are in it

Aw sorry oba I thought you were going to start a photo thread like Reeyo suggested Here's my hood/campus maanta, beautiful day

Post it oba

Nin-yaaban wasn't offended, i'm sure. this is UNACCEPTABLE and may result in a serious breakdown of our mutual cordial relations in the short to medium term. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Taking cheap jabs at someone who has a problem and came here for help is crossing a line Alpha, you should apologize and suck it up.

I was just as cute then as I am right now: PS I'm glad your thread was deleted, it's only a matter of time before you're banished forever

Haatu;948881 wrote: You might just be the first person to post personal pics on SOL Safferz. Congratulations (Although ofc we've all seem Alpha's hideous feet and his big big jareer head ) haha well I figure I've posted enough identifying information to have already been recognized by now if someone here knows me, so baby pictures are not a big deal Back to work now!

I'm justifying this SOL visit because I'm taking a break for breakfast right now, and things are coming along much better this morning Horta why am I always mistaken for a nin on here? Anyway, happy mother's day to all the mothers of SOL, and the hooyos of SOLers... But *especially* my hooyo macaan! I was angry and deranged then too dee:

Heading to bed now so I can get an early start, I'm going to avoid SOL until I'm done so I should resurface sometime on Monday as a new woman. Later SP

SP that made me smile, thanks love This one is for you:

I don't know, a combo of a few things I guess... this paper is kicking my ***, I randomly miss my ex, I'm still mad I'm phoneless after I broke my galaxy s3, that Quran saar post in the alcoholism/addiction thread is pissing me off, and I've looked and felt like this all week during essay writing hell: Also I have no comfort food like tiramisu

I'm sad and stressed caawa SP I could use that tiramisu.

^ and that all comes down to a cultural problem of Somalis thinking mental illness is just a minor matter, "waa yara fudhuud"... and so marriage appears to be a solution because all the person needs is to be "calmed," through a little prayer and a spouse, not professional attention and meds. I agree with you Blessed that spiritual healing can be important, but it's not an alternative to medical attention as many Somalis seem to treat it as.

Cadanka iskawaal wax kaga fiican ma arag. This guys needs to watch the show dirty jobs, full of people happy doing some crazy job or hang with some Africans, they tend to be happy yet have so little. FYI Safferz, don't go there with reinforcing some racial lol Naxar :mad: You do know many Somalis commit suicide, right? And suffer from depression and mental illness? It's not an cadaan issue.

Malika;948725 wrote: That was definetly a cry for help! ciid fahantee muu jiriin maskinka. There's a passage in his novel Infinite Jest that's quite chilling: "The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. the person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be or you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains constant. the variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s the terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling “Don’t!” and “Hang on!”, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling."

lol Alpha :D

I think that's the message of the speech You are not the centre of the universe.
