Ah, the answer to no nail polish!

Haven't ever tried it, but it's something to look into.

After KH mentioned henna in another part of the thread I asked hubby if he'd get some for me there. He said he didn't like henna on toes, but I'm thinking he hasn't seen this! good.gif Woohoo!

I don't like to get in the middle of religious debates. Ive read the Bible and I've read the Quran. I was Christian for all of my life except for the last 7 months.

I have my reasons for converting and honestly hate the thought of people fighting over which religion is right. Believe in your heart and soul in whatever you feel is right for you and let that be said. If you choose Islam, don't over consume yourself with all of the rules. Islam wasn't made over night and neither should you try and perfect yourself overnight. If you follow it you are like a little child at first learning how to find their way through life. Learn how to incorporate it into your life and live what it is teaching but don't race out there and try and perfect it over night..remember little by little, step by step. I've saw way too many people focus on the rules of this and that and be overly concerned with it and have lost their connection with Allah. They have the rules down but don't feel the praying when they pray or don't feel the religion itself. True religion is being true with Allah (God) and having a real relationship with Him.

I am so glad Friday is here. I get a relaxing weekend at home for once. Tinkerbell is getting spayed today and I told hubby no book sales. Tinker just went in about 30 min. ago, her surgery is about 9. I'm nervous for her. She wasn't happy when they had me put her in cage in fact she tried keeping the door open My poor baby.

I hope all of you have a good weekend.

i'm at home today, had to take off from work because the car won't get out of the driveway due to us having about 8" of snow since fri.
so nessa went to work in the 4 wheel drive, and i'm staying at home with baby boy.



aren't y lucky to stay home? 8 inches of snow? We were suppossed to get up to 10 inches but didn't get that much, but its snowing again, looks more like lake effect, which means more snow! :wacko:

Morning all! Woke up to snow, not as much as they said, but its snow.

My van broke down this weekend leaving me in a lurch cause I didn't have anyone to fix it or look at it. Hubby and i argued most of the weekend. I hate being without a vehicle. So I am taking my van in and incha allah, they will get to it today.
I may have to rent a vehicle for the day!! I can't stand this!!!

I hope today and the rest of this week go better than the rest of the week!!

Have a good day all!

Middle East and North AfricaTravel

Ok, I know this is completely ridiculous but I feel like I need to ask the question anyway. My husband and I are travelling back to Morocco in May and we have a quick layover (4 hours on the way there and 2 hours on the way back) in Madrid. Do we need to do anything special for him? He has had his greencard since like July and he has a Moroccan passport.

Thanks everyone!



that should be all you need, have a fun and safe trip! I can't wait to get back to morocco, its been 3 years for me, but we have to wait for his mom to come and we will bring her home!!

oh my- everyone is out and about I guess!
I have been so busy lately- haven't been on the computer much at all. This is a nice break actually as I spent my nights online for over a year and a half.

We were married on February 18th- I was off of work and the court only does marriages once a week; so we said "why not?" Have to do it within 90 days anyway. Of course, family here is all freaking out... Grandma is meeting him tonight for the 1st time. We are bringing dinner with us. (Hungarian Goulash) Hope it comes out okay!

We are all adjusting as expected but things are going good.
Hope everyone is having a great day! :P

Congrats! I hope you two have a happy life together!

Good day Mena! I know I'm a bit late, I've been running all day- work, drive hour and half, book sale, errands, drive back hour and half turned into almost two and half hours, semi over turned on OTHER side of freeway, not our side, but we were backed up for 45 min. What a mess! Son had court today with baby's mama!! HAHAHAH for her. She lied and her precious restraining order was dropped, not to mention son never did what she claimed anyway!! She is slowly hanging herself. Now we have court in a few weeks and he is gonna demand a paternity test. I will be crushed if Aaron isn't my grandbaby, but she won't let me see him anyway! So we shall see!! Been waiting on Kamal's 10 year green card, still have no word.

Anyway, have a good evening!

Middle East and North AfricaSaturday

Good afternoon everyone! It is a gorgeous day today! This morning it started out cloudy, which I figured it would stay that way because we are supposed to get absolutely dumped on with rain tomorrow. However, the afternoon is quite nice.

I was at work this morning. Some of the school districts apparently have their spring break this week so it was slow at the tutoring center...actually, a nice break.

Oh! Omar and I picked out the bedding for our bedroom last weekend and it arrived today. In case you are wondering, I just gave him a website and said tell me what you like and I ordered it. It arrived yesterday and is even nicer than it looked in the picture. The colors are definitely those for a male from Morocco (orange, light and dark brown, and white). The design is my style as well as his so it was a good fit for us both...I just usually use reds, blues, or purples so I'm on the hunt for a couple of accent pillows and curtains that can soften the look a bit, without clashing. I do like them though...just trying to figure out how to decorate a house for both a woman and a man. It will be more fun when he is here to help! :)

Everyone enjoy the weekend!



Some moroccans are good at color and design. My hubby isn't too bad!

Middle East and North AfricaWould you still be with your SO if ...

We talked about the what-ifs a lot and if for some reason we had to move back I definetely would. I think I am more excited by moving back there than my husband. Like others have said - money and jobs would be the biggest issue. But were that to find us in a moderate income range I would be happy to live there with our children. I have always been a bit of a wanderlust and living there would be a great experience for us and our children. I would love them to be able to spend more time with their grandma and aunties. I spent quite a bit of time in Maroc and also lived in Germany so I don't think being away from the US would be an issue - as long as I have MBC4 and my internet I will be happy ;) Oh and another note. When we moved away from DC and back to WI I was a SAHM/SAHW for about 5 months and although I thought I would hate it I ended up really enjoying it. I would love to be able to work part time in Maroc but spend time at home with my kids and my kitchen lol!



There is always a possiblity. If I knew I could get my meds there. We have talked about retirement there

Ok, this is the breakdown I got from him. He's horrible at details, so if the numbers seem off, don't flame me! I'm just sharing what I was told:
Exam was 400 dh, Blood test 360 dh, x-ray 60 dh, and vaccines from pharmacy 170 dh.
Also, he went to one of the French doctors, not the Moroccan woman.

Oh, and one thing that he had no doubt of - 400 dh for speeding when he drove home from Casablanca laughing.gif

Hi all;
i want tell you that the medical exams are not A LOT A LOT as our friend mentioned;i went to the doctor Zirari; the only place u'll need to go to, is the laboraatory for ur chest Xrays;bllod test are done just upstaires; the pharmacy to get ur vaccins is just close to the doctor right on the corner;and nothing is difficult with having ur medical tests done the only thing that need a bit of time is the chest xrays caus it takes time to get the results and bring it back to the doctor.good luck for evrybody.
