I think people are fighting out of boredom on the MENA board.

I really find this board hilarious and insane at the moment. What's wrong with everybody!!?!?!


I suggest everyone who doesn't speak fluent Arabiya should take up an Arabic foreign language class. I think it helps English speakers to understand their surroundings when visiting abroad again. Or take a cooking class. I think to say live your day like it's your last should be everyones motto. So in plain words I suggest people should log off for a while and do other productive things with your family/friends in real life - rather than random people online. You're pretty much wasting opinions, thoughts, time, and your LIFE on here fighting and if you're not discussing serious MENA culture questions or visa problems.

Like who is more Algerian?

i am!

uh no....I am more algerian.

ha ha ha me/na thread ? What's the topic again? Log off and do something productive. Nah....I was productive all dayum day. Now it's my time to be totally in chill mode.

Learn a foreign language? oh my brain hurts at that thought. Working, cleaning and waiting for Ibrahim to come home...my days and nights are full.

Random people online? None of my friends here are random. They are all special to me. In fact, I am missing one of my vj friends alot today. 2 weeks ago today she left us suddenly. I miss her ...oh god pass the tissue.

When did you become a Goat Anus Mod Jenn?? I missed the celebration on that one.

omg, jenn! ! How did I miss this?? The whole goat anus mod thing just whooshed right past me... not fair hehehe

Hehe, no formal celebration. Goat Anus Mod, at your service.

anus isn't a word you hear all that often anymore. Not like people go around saying "kiss my anus", you know? I wonder why? It's kind of a cool word if you think about it for a while.

JJ def Leppord??? Wow that's been a while. I used to like those guys

why does that word remind me of bevus (sp???) and butthead?

And why would we be thinking of an anus for ANY period of time??
Jenn: If my goat is in need of a moderator for his backside you'll be the first one I call.

I think alot of the fighting comes along because people have too much time on their hands. All I know is since my husband has been here, all my time is doing everything else I was doing before and then whatever left over, I am taking care of him.

I can definitely say that he and I have had absolutely the dumbest cultural fights with his mother and sister sticking up for me culturally. We have talked alot about politics and history and he admits very freely that he is not only not interested in books, history or reading ( like some other "real Algerians I have met around here") but he is also more interested in whatever riot took place over soccer or what his best friend is doing back home etc. We have very few "deep" conversations. My job is to cook, clean and take care of him and love him and I have had to put pretty much everything else on the back burner, including my brain cells. He is in constant amazement that I read everyday.....he never does..

But somehow we manage

how did it go to a nasty topic about anus

That's GOAT anus...its a deilicacy!

Not to be confused with GOATSE anus. Well, who knows??
