angie & abed and Maggie.....Thank you!

I took the splints off so I can wash dishes and clean the bird cages. No, Im not on good pain killers ( my choice ), just something a bit stronger than Motrin. If I was on narcotics, I would be tempted to abuse them. My fingers are not black today, just lavender colour. wacko.gif

MENA --- Moroccans, Egyptians, 'n', Algerians? unsure.gif

(of course that misses out all the Jordanians, Tunisians, Iraqis, Palestinians, Lebanese..... wink.gif )

Q: MENA doesn't necessarily mean Arab/Muslim, right? It can include others from the regions - Turks, Persians, Kurds, Christian Arabs? What about Israelis? I have Israeli citizenship and lived there for about 12 years... do I get to be an honorary MENA too?

I already participate in the Thai threads (Sawasdee3 and Thailand) and in the Canadian regional forum (I am Canadian and lived there most of my life). So adding MENA would make my triple-crown of regional forums. C'mon gang, whadda ya say/

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

It's 16 days until the interview and it hit me like a ton of bricks last night. I'm so nervous im sick. I can't stop crying, All i can do is pray, cry, puke and freak out.
Every thing I have ever wanted depends on this day inshalla it will be fine but i can't shake the feeling of not knowing. I have no idea how i will react if they say denied or AR. I wish i could question the CO and ask if they understand the impact of the choice they make on the lives of others? My mind is spinning and all i know right now is i need my heart and my soul, my sweet perfect Habibi. Abdalla and i were lucky so far, we never had an RAF, every thing has seemed to happen so fast and not this long drawn out wait is killing me.

How did you guys get threw this? how do you cope? what do i do? I feel like im falling apart crying.gif

Your miracle is just around the corner, Sis. Keep pressing in. luv.gif

Good Moaning


Yesterday was my birthday and I went to my mom's....as we were going out to get a bite to eat, I was closing her garage door....my fingers got stuck in the door panels, I heard a crunch. My mom freed me from the evil door and rushed me to ER there where she lives. I have 2 broken middle fingers.

Rosie's birthday, too?? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!


Thank you everyone for the birthday and well wishes. well, no one knew cos I didn't tell anyone. At my age, it's something you are not overly happy to see, however unavoidable. the rest of the day sucked the big one, but I will spare the details. Im on meds, antibiotic and a non narcotic for pain. I took off the splints a little while ago just to check the injuries....Im afraid the fingers turned black. I MAY have to go into the ER should this get worse.

Middle East and North AfricaMENA women question for you.
I built my own , and you can too. Go to a plumbing supply store, and ask them to show you how to put a hose with a sprayer attatched to your toilet and to sell you the parts. It cost me under 25 $ and it works real good. It really is just a sprayer like the kind you would have on your kitchen sink.

my next question is how much water gets on the floor with these sprayers? I know when I was in syria the bathroom floor was always wet.

Actually, none. My husband must be an expert , but I conclude it must all be in the ' position '.

I try to get hubby to acclimate to the western world but some habits just die hard.

He hasn't suggested installing anything but I have heard of something...others here may know better.

It is rather messy but he resorts to his mena ways in that department. I mean in Maroc their floors are tile and always wet and slippery and dirty and all that. Mother right there cleaning it all up. Well water from shower, I can understand from time to time but the splashing of water due to toileting and putting on hair gel just makes me grossed out.
Nothing like sitting on a wet toilet mad.gif

It kinda makes me laugh but I really think for him, using toilet paper is alien. He just doesn't know how to do it right. blush.gif

Nagi....we need to talk whistling.gif


Im here. biggrin.gif

I did notice my husband uses TP after #1, but he can't bring himself to just throwing the one square in the bowl and flushing it. He just throws it in the little waste can next to the sink. huh.gif

0hhhhh, that explains it!! The bootie towel. My husband told me some months ago not to use his towel ( not that I ever did ) , and I said 0k, thinking why would he say something like that? Now I think I figured out why. blink.gif
Thanks for the heads ( or rather, tails ) up!

0mg! For me, that was THE one thing that extremely bothered me the most. When my husband finally arrived and we were home form the airport, I layed him down and sniffed him like no tomorrow.

Amanda...hope you are doing well...body, mind and soul. I'm still coughing with whatever this coughing thing is. I have to go out soon and plant some flowers which I have neglected to do all last month and MAYBE attempt to cut the lawn. My husband thinks the grass isnt long enough to cut ( menz! what do they know? ) and said he will do it Monday. I fear by then it will be knee deep.

I'm sure its very easy to forget about the pain of separation for months on end when you finally have your husband there with you.


Some things are never forgotten. We did not see each other for about 2 and a half years. No cam, no pics...no nothing. Now that my husband is here, I find myself still waiting.....
It's ok to vent. We all have had those times where we felt like we were being boiled alive.

Ditto to what Nagishkaw on still waiting. You're waiting for him to adjust. Waiting for him to get a job. Waiting for him to get a better job. Waiting for your relationship to hit it's stride. I'm still waiting, and he's been here more than 3 and a half years.

You just nailed it completely. good.gif
