Middle East and North AfricaSMOKING CIGARETTES
WOW ! Maybe something in the genes! I know for smoking 17 years (started when I was 13 living in NY..we were so damn cool wacko.gif ) and the other ways I have abused my body over the years, I should be showing way more damage to my skin and face. I am actually amazed...must be something in the pizza sauce and all the great Italian food I ate growing up blush.gif It's always fun to see people's reactions when I tell them I have a son almost 21 whistling.gif

Another Quitter here kicking.gif kicking.gif Kinda interesting story cuz I have to give my beloved son all the credit. He was a young lad in grade school and came home scared to death one day and sobbing that he did not want me to die !! He had learned about the dangers of smoking in school. He promptly began hiding, flushing and otherwise disposing of my cigarettes until I quit good.gif I think I was really ready by that point, having tried unsuccessfully many times before. The love and concern my son showed me was a great motivator and made me realize I wanted to be around for him heart.gif

I quit cold turkey on his birthday 12 years ago and each year we celebrate his life and mine rose.gif

Not that I'm going to, b/c I still think it will just suck me in too much and I have a bazillion other things to be doing, **BUT**, if I were to start this farm heroin, how would I do it? I've blocked the applications, so I probably wouldn't get anything you send to start off.
Still saying no the the crack/farm, but just in case I get weak....


Noooooooooo Noura ! Resist the temptation or I will have to do a farm intervention for you unsure.gif I think you, me and Jen (Seattle) are the only girls that are farmless !!! I know I would become so addicted and I am already working to reduce my computer time wacko.gif

Saw American East last night. It was ok but kind of predictable but hubby loved it. A little too preachy for me for a Friday night movie but it was ok though.


I really liked parts of this film. I thought it had greater potential than the filmmakers were able to achieve. What started creating distance from me empathizing more with the main characters was so much exposition in their dialog and the suffering they endure as Muslims. I wanted them to show me more of their lives and traditions than be TOLD over and over. I liked the father character the best as he was always caught in the middle and struggled to remain neutral and respect everyone. I would like to see more films from Distant Horizon and Zahra Pictures! eb0dfafc.gif

Awww Monica, Bridge, GG, Lisa, all the MENA ladies thank you - if you all were near I'd bake this phenomenal chocolate cake that I just saw on Martha Stewart - it is fantastic!!! I make practically the same one. We'd have a MENA get together where I'd bring the cake, coffee/espresso, and great big jugs of whole milk and we'd all eat up. It would be like Jesus' experience with the loaves and fishes - we'd have cake and goodies until everyone was satisfied. innocent.gif star_smile.gif

Frankly, I'm sick of non-Muslim women going to the ME to sleep with Muslim men they're not married to, and sick of the men who can't wait to get it on. It makes American women seem loose and exposes the Muslim men as less than pious.

Welcome to MENA.


Perhaps these "less than pious" men should be exposed as just that! Would their families be shocked to learn that they lost their virginity to a native prostitute and not the "loose American woman?" So much seems to be about appearances there ~ Welcome to MENA indeed...the land of contradictions blink.gif
