Lol. Ngonge do you a list of the so-called highly intelligent blah blah, marriage-shy guys. CVs and photographs neded. Do share how you gather your stats, for I and few of the Somali professionals ladies that I know of seem to only come across are self-absorbed ******. That's if you exclude the non-Somalis. Lakiinse only a weak person will opt for the easy solution that is to marry a naive girl rather than someone who is conscious of her life. Remember inadeer 'behind every great man there is a great woman'. Why would you shackle yourself to a bakhti?

1.Buy the cadriyad 2.Add water and cadriyad in a pot 3.Let it simmer for a while That's all to it no culinary expertise needed.

Is there a policy in place that obliges SOL Admin to reply back to PMs within certain number of days? I am still waiting for a response to an email which I have sent more than 4 months ago. In all fairness, since we are not charged they are exempt from prioritising us although this would mean poor customer service.

Thanks for the advice Bob, will try to adhere to it. Lakiin i find it daunting that it is permissible for the husband to come and go as he wishes while the wife has to take permission. In cases where the husband abuses his position ie refusing the wife to go to work or socialise with her friends be it male or female. What then, is it wrong to refute his request without been sinful? Surely everything is about compromising and accepting each other flaws. I truly like the idea that the men should provide for their wives whilst the latter should not be demanding but kind and respectful.

Today, my final notice to complete my j summons form. Urgh!

Xiin what so useless about philosophy?! Please refrain from passing such cynical remarks and I'll have you known that great things were born out of philosophy!

Ramadan definitely mellowed you! Lakiin no matter how good your intentions are most of the advice will fall on deaf ears. I found most of the prejudice towards how a woman should look comes from other women rather than men. Why are women harsh towards one and another. I believe that one should be beautiful for Allah and for him only.

Next time, switch the record on your mobile phone, slip it in your pocket and let the conversation be taped. At least then you would have evidence on your side.

Well said Nephtys! What a waste on resources! If people do not wish to see them then they shouldn't be looking. Honestly since they are not infringing on others' rights nor harming themselves then it is wrong to dictate their life and curb their choice.

The palestinian life is full of misery and harsh treatements. The days of anger or frustration at the way the innocent civilians are treated by both the Israelis and they own people ie Hamas is long past for some. And this lastest fiasco does not surprise me.

LOL Fat boy. You can't just share us with a morsel of your concerns and leave it at that. Please expand then only could we offer you a true response. Now then what exactly do you mean by "makes out"

LOL Ngonge. Lakiinse sirta haa fafiin o dumarka raga haa ku dirin.

Ramadan Mubarak everyone. Gosh wish fasting was compulsory or food during office hrs & meetings prohibited during Ramadan in the west! Definitely need to migrate to a Muslim country.

Bismillah, cool down Dabshid. No one is disputing that every couple should give their partner space including time for their friends etc. Lakin so there should be quality time for their spouse. One should show that they care and appreciative their spouse whitout been told? Buy them small gift if possible, give them hugs and kisses. Surprise your partner with something that would make them happy on the odd occasions. Appreciation is a two way process inabti.

LOL Sheh, point taken.

Ok so maybe the woman sounds loca to some of us but I honestly don't see what the fuss is. As far as she is concerned she found this poor bereft needy monkey and she became attached and decided to adopt him. Some people get attached to other things beside human for instance men and cars. Besides what's with all the monkey topics lately with SOL?

Totally agree with you D & D. The best way to get things from your hubby is dropping subtle hints and be totally appreciative and surprised when he act upon them. Let him believe that he did it on his own initiave, honestly men can be ****** sometimes but so what in the end you get your cake without the hassle and moanings.

Likely I live close to my workplace so I have the luxury to walk free from commuting stress.

And your point Northerner is?! Just because this is not the norm does not justify to be prejudice or for her to be ridiculed. I applaud her for taking such measures to save the monkey's life.

I think this would be a perfect solution. It would be part of the households chores, simply decide on who will be pregnant this time or better yet be it at the same time and out of the way.

I always wondered how the regular bunch find the time to chat online since many are in employment?!

Thank you both for the translation and share with us more duas which are very rewarding and simple enough to memorise.

Thanks for the thread walaal, very useful especially with ramadan close by. I thought we should use your thread as a way of sharing duas and good deeds inpreparation to the holy month. I've heard the below dua recently: Alahuma anta rabi La ilahi ila ant Khalagtani wa ana cabduk Wa ana cala haddika wa wacdika mastadacat Acudika mi shari ma sanact Abu uleka bi nicmatika calak Wa abu ubi danbi Fiqfirli Fa inahu la yaqfir danuba ila ant.

Let bygone be bygone and ilahay ha u naxiristo. Nonetheless under Mr Barre gvt terrible crimes where committed and Somalia descended into anarchy! Hence that totally eclipse any former success he may achieved.
