OMG Ashley-that looks like the inside of my car and my dog!!!!! i'm not kidding.

But seriously, when it comes to Kamal driving, he had his license in Morocco so he knows how to drive. And we bought him a bike cause he was gonna bike to work, but that sits cause he doesn't know how to ride it. And he refuses to take the bus, and the hours he works, it don't run. Or at least when he gets on third shift in a week or two. And he said he would walk, but now the excuse is, my steel toe shoes are too heavy and i can't be tired for work. We only live a mile or so from his job. So now that i'm getting laid off, I guess i got nothing better to do than be his taxi!!! grrrrrrrrrrrr.

He made me drive the first day i was in morocco. He misplaced his licesne. I was so scared the way they drive there. i refused to drive anymore. After i came home he conviently found his license. grrrrrrrr, men. I'm not gonna drive his but around forever either. He may have to walk like he did in Morocco!

Surely he sees the differences from Morocco...they are slightly (crazy) drivers there....we stay in our own lanes etc etc...i would definatly save for the lessons...let a man be his teacher and he will see how it is here.

QUOTE (Nutty @ Aug 25 2008, 06:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I can relate to the frustration your in. The problem is breaking him of his bad driving habits that he acquired in Morroco. If you don't have the money to spare for driving lessons - and - it is too stressful for you to teach him, then it is imperative you find a friend to be his driving coach. Maybe rereading the driver's handbook at the same time would also be beneficial.

If he still keeps up with his dangerous driving habits, knowing the laws and knowing how to operate a car safely, then the next step is the morgue tour. It's a program of taking young kids to the morgue to show them people who have died in car accidents. It helps discourage them from driving recklessly.



he doesn't think he is driving badly!

Middle East and North AfricaFrustrating Mena Men
I am so frustrated right now, i could scream. Well I did-at him. Kamal has had his temp. driving permit here for months. He drove in Morocco, and has only tried to drive here. He comes up with every excuse in the book not to drive. I tote his azz back and forth all over, work, where ever. I feel like a taxi service. Today he got behind the wheel and went to start my car and i thought he was gonna blow the engine!! mad.gif Saturday he came flying down the driveway (short one) without looking and if there was someone walking could have killed them. He acts like a stupid little kid. I could teach a 10 year old better. There is nobody here that can or has time to teach him. We can't afford (and he wouln'dt pay) for driving lessons. I don't know what to do. I yelled at him all the way to dropping him off at work, and went to work in tears. crying.gif . HELP!! What the heck can i do?

Good Morning!! Am struggling this morning. I am really upset i didn't get up before 5 to eat. I am so hungry this morning. Can anyone explain the importance of staying up all night long to me. kamal is gonna drag himself down. He stays up til 5 sleeps til 10 gets up works at a factory, starving, and then comes home and it starts all over. next week he has to work not 8 hours but 12 hours a day. i just don't want to see something happen to him. i know he is used to ramadan but he was a teacher over there. didn't have the hard labor there that he does here.

sigh---having a family issue that is weighing heavy on me. My sister is still suicidal, she was released last Sunday and I picked her up and took her to my house.

I am not strong enough to handle her serious depression. She said she is still going to do it. She said she wouldn't do it in my house. Her son is picking her up on Saturday, I just pray she don't do it in my house while I am at work tonight. Everyone is mad at me for not taking her in permanent. I havent talked to her much in the last 8 years, I have a stranger in my house. A pill addicted stranger.

I am afraid to go home at night. The other night, I drove around my block 7 times, afraid to go in and find her. Now, because I am not taking her places and 'fixing' her, I'm the bad guy. Well ya know what, I can't please everyone all the time. I am only me. I am not qualified to convince her to want to live.

Dang, I didn't mean to ramble all like that. Thx star and terrie for asking. smile.gif

Jackie rose.gif



Jackie, youcan't fix her. She has got to want the help. And it sounds like she don't. She belongs in a hospital yet. They should have never released her. Is this the sister from up here? If it is, the doctors up here are #######! My thoughts are with you both!

I am just sitting here watching my dog get stressed out by the squirrels outside. She watches them out the window and the other day they knew she was there and got brave and came up on the front porch. They sit in our pear tree out back and when she is outside, they throw pears down at her. They tease her so bad. I'm afraid i'm gonna have to put her on meds soon if they keep tourchering her. HAHAHA , its funny to watch them tho.


Star dragon-where in the midwest are u located? My trees are turning too!


I'm in Chicago :-) I'm sure you will get fall colors a lot sooner than me. I used to go up to Wisconsin every fall and stay at a B&B during peak season.

It's been pouring this morning and the crazies are coming to the library. More than normal. One of my coworkers had a guy come up to her and say "It's nice when it rains, everything and everyone slows down"....she's like "Uh...ok". And then he said "Except my girlfriend - she only likes to have 'fast sex'" blink.gif

Sigh........
