Lidia, here's a link to dhegdheer story. Couldn't find one for the other, but from what I remember, he was half-human, half-hyenna, with a powerful little stick that when he strokes it on himself fully turns him into a man-eater at night..hence the name 'qori-is-maris.' The stick also gave him the ability to come back as a different person eachtime ie; shape and appearance wise [at times you suspect the person tellin you the story is qori-is-maris himself LOL.] No one would have imagined from his appearance or actions, that he could have been a man-eater. He adored the platter of little feet and lured children away or abducted them by force, once alone with them -voila- he strokes himself with the stick! I think, the purpose of the scary tales were to toughen us up and prepare us for real life. L0L. If you want your children to be strong, tell them scary tales and horrible events, were the old school parenting tactics. L0L. Alxamdulilah I don't have mental scars..turned out oK. Pujah, I'm sure one look at my face will be enough to warn them not to push it. Laakin hadii loo baahdo, I won't hessitate inaa dhagaha ka raaco..

memories from home? hmmmm...riding in the back of a xaajiyo khamzeen - loose - was always great fun. Jig jig jig, the feeling of the wind blowing through my hair and the sun on my face, was priceless.

Just curious what the masses think about piercings... If you were to get one, what would it be? How many is too much? And finally, how old is too old to get one? Eyebrow piercing is growing on me somewhat like a bad fungus, but my absolute fear of some of the loud-mouthed older islaamo in my family is getting in the way. If it wasn't for them, I'd probably pierce my left one.

Asalama Alaikum Nomads, Heestan qof garan karo hadduu jiro, please soo post garee. Thanks. Waa ku daawan lahaaaye doontii caashaqaaa waa ku daawan lahaaaye doontii caashaqaa .. .. ma iga tagay.. ma iga tagay.. ... .. dahab-la moodyoow daraato daraato maxaa ku daaray.. bum bum borara-rara bum

How many people have died over the various centuries in various places because of the idea "Iga guur, iyo kaa guuri mayo?" Here's a revolutionary solution.. Nin-koow Guur! . ..ofcourse afterall, the Snake was there first. Besides, how long before this little problem belongs to a lot of people other then the "Man" and the "Snake?" In the end I think I fear most for the Man for he makes ten new foes, for every innocent bystander snake he 'maqiiqis Gudintiisa' with. The solution, I fear, lies in the inevitable vengeance of the ghosts of the Snake.

^ :mad: , no point seeing it now, is there?

Alla abbaayo maskiin-sanidaa. . I never got affection as a kid, the scary dheg-dheer and qori-is-maris were my bedtime stories [but I always fell asleep happily after the stories], narrated by none other then the booyeeso or the new geel-jire cousin in town. Mom used to threaten me with iskoobo if I didn't go to bed..forget about sliding next to me, apologizing! How many nites did I sleep with a gum in my mouth to only wake up half of my hair stuck to my skull..and mom standing there with scissors snip snip snip..ready to pinch me too...was my soul bruised? NO! Did it crush my self-esteem and confidence? NO. Am I psycologically damaged as a result to that? NO! Do I expect my mom to apologize to me ? the hell is she apologizing to a kid for? LOL. I love my mom dearly [omg I'm getting a lump in my throat..] I'd sacrifice my independence for one more moment being whooped by her and the happiness and sense of security that gave me . Waaxay cunug loo apologize gareenaayo! 3asa bi 3asa aa la yiri.

Somalia needs healer’s men that will unite the warring factions, men like Sheikh Sharif and Nur Cadde that will bring solutions through peaceful means. This is turning point for Somalia do the masses want this type of men that we deserve or should warlords (Yey, M Dheere, Barre Hiralle, Morgan) who do not see beyond their feet control the nation. Question is, what risk is he at by trying to change the course of TFG? Will he get out alive?

It is a demeaning word.I don't know why the brother/sister used the word.This is one form of intolerance.The word points to a language of a people called Borana.It is one thing to name a language of a peopl-in a respectful manner-but it is something entirely different to call people's langauge with a superiority undertone. Why are you are pissed? You are not a Borana are you? Garam Garam Waaxid Garam-Garam is not even a language,is it now Stoic? L0L@Garam Garam. I always refer it to those whose Somali is not understandable, and those with the questionable/ unidentifiable qabiil lineage. I see alot of Garam-Garams here!

Excellent post ME. Thanks for pointing out the facts. Our country is history as I see it unless the people take a stand and say "NO" more Axmaaar! However, I do not see that happening. God help us because so many people here are too caught up in thinking things are ok because they haven't been targeted yet. Our forefathers, mainly the great Sayid Mohamed[AUN], and Aabo Siyaad [RIP] would be ashamed of us today for allowing our beloved country be taken over by the same usgag that they fought so hard and died for so, we could live with pride and die with honor. Laakin Axmaaar haloo kala dhuunto baa ka dhacday! Dadkanu Somali maaha. They are traitors and traitors are to be dealt with. For those of you that think this is halarious and laugh about it, oo "axmaarka saaxiibkeey waaye" ku haayo. I pitty you because you will be in for a rude awakening one day soon.
