Hey guys wanted to check in. Hubby will have been here 2 weeks on Wednesday. I am happy to have him here but I can't lie and say it hasn't been stressful. I am anxious for the days when life will be "normal" again. Anyway, wanted to ask you if anyone knows what's up with MENA guys not understanding Halloween or scary movies?? My hubby just can't seem to understand the whole concept. Any thoughts or ideas?



My husband loved scary movies and I was the one that didn't want to watch them with him. He also LOVED the idea of Halloween and was looking forward to experiencing it heart.gif

Henna that is so true and you know I have been thinking those exact thoughts myself lately.
As I am getting older and tired of holding old grudges or hostility toward people.
It sure takes alot out of someone to be angry and hateful.
So I am going to take a different stance this holiday season and go out of my way to mend some fences that have been long overdue.
Forgiveness really does wonders to repair your heart, mind and soul and it really says alot to the person who needs forgiving.

Hope you are fine Henna and congrats on your weight loss good.gif


Thanks, Sandrila luv.gif

Middle East and North AfricaHello MENA
Mending Fences

We build fences in every relationship, Some stronger than the rest. Sometimes the fences wear and tear, but can still be repaired. Others burn down before they are mended. We must mend our fences as they break, Not doing so could be a grave mistake. What a shame sacrificing a relationship over misunderstanding, each waiting for the other to explain. What becomes of death when there is yet a fence to mend?

The Muslims who flew planes into buildings and who kill in the name of jihad do think about how it affects other Muslims. In their twisted theology, they believe that true Muslims want what they want and are directed by God to destroy to get it. They see Muslims who disagree with them to be the same as infidels, therefore, not truly Muslim. Since non-Muslims are targets, and Muslims who disagree with their methods and interpretations of the texts are also targets, how their acts affect them are of no concern.

So, we have violent, twisted Muslims against us, and ignorant, hateful non-Muslims against us. And, to add insult to injury, we are expected to explain to those who demand answers why people who we don't know or understand do what they do, as if we know why.



this is a great explanation and insight, thanks good.gif

I was in a coffee shop this evening where I noticed two beautiful Muslimas in Hajib. I found myself staring at them, not because I thought they were terrorists, but because of the gentleness in their eyes and they way they seemed unsure of their surroundings and others reactions to them. For sure they were feeling some affects of this past week... it was in the air.

We do not have a very large Arab population here, so they were very surprised when I offered my Salams to them on the way out. Actually, I think they were quite stunned as their eyes grew wide and they returned the greeting, smiling. I found myself thinking about this discussion today. I think this is how the healing can begin, in small moments like these rose.gif

Does it also offend you when you see any article or posting about what happened that isn't directly, primarily, and almost entirely a tribute to the victims?


Yes it does ! This is disturbing on so many levels. It has less to do with religion and more about the extensive posting by the OP regarding the affects this may have on immigration visas and that is what I was responding to. I was married to a Muslim and do understand worldviews. I never mentioned religion, although I knew it would be brought up as this is such a hot topic and very unfortunate, sad "incident" (is that the pc term?)

What I want to add is that not only did the 13 loose their life, but over 30 others were SHOT. Nearly 50 people had their and their families lives changed forever. That is a tragedy. Its not about peoples visas, or what religion any of us are... its all about the lives lost, and the lives now changed forever. rose.gif

Happy Saturday MENA rose.gif Did anyone see the new Twilight movie? My niece is a HUGE fan and I will take her when she visits from AZ for Christmas. We went together last year to the first one. If she were not coming tho I could certainly wait for the DVD whistling.gif



Henna, I have to admit i've never seen anything that has to do with Twilight. I've seen people
talk about everywhere, but I haven't a clue what is involved with it. I just wonder if there are
"others" like me!! yes.gif

Here's your crash course in Twilight ~ A very popular series of Vampire books by Stephanie Meyer that quickly garnered an occult following. The first movie was released last year during the Holidays. Teenage girls are again swooning as they dedicate themselves to team Edward or team Jacob. Personally, I tend to favor a hunky Werewolf over a skinny Vampire blush.gif

Are you totally confused now? Honestly, if my niece were not so into it and I did not live here in WA state where the first one was filmed, I would be clueless also. There are some big Twilight fans here in MENA tho...where are they all hiding whistling.gif

You are right to be more worried about the pnemonia, Elisha(my son) had H1N1 about 3 weeks ago and the doctor stressed strongly that it wasnt really the flu you had to worry about but the secondary infections because the flu makes them so ran down...keep forcing the liquids, and if you cant keep his fever down, I used Motrin, then in an hour Id follow with a dose of tylenol. They have liquid adult strength in both so it can get into his system quicker!!! Ya'll are in our prayers!!!

Yes ! I believe that is exactly what happened in my son's case. His immune system was already worn thin from his work schedule, social life, very little sleep, etc...contracted the flu and the pneumonia ensued. He is on some pretty strong Antibiotics now and was finally able to keep some oatmeal down this evening. He was really out of it the past few days.

The Doc also said that the regular flu claims more lives than H1N1, but the media creates a frenzy of exaggerated information that scares us blink.gif

My 21 yo Nathan became very ill suddenly ! He was diagnosed with H1N1 and Pneumonia. I am actually more concerned with the Pneumonia bc of all the media hype and false positives over the flu virus. His temp has been running really high and I just returned home with the antibiotics. The doc said if he doesn't start to improve in the next 24-48 hours, he may end up in the hospital. I pray that is not the outcome and he will be feeling much better soon heart.gif
