I am doing fine, thanks for asking. I'm actually in the central time zone so it is getting late for me, lol. As for sushi, yeah, I have to get my fix every so often. That was a long time for you to go without it. I can imagine how you enjoyed it!

Good morning Julianna,Olivia,S and S,Nawal and everyone.
i went to the beach yesterday .and i really didn't enjoy it cause my love wasn't with me .
it seems like everywhere i go ,everything i see,every food i eat,every cloth i wear...reminds me of her.
it has been over 16 months since she was here last time and we have to wait another 8 or 9 months till we see each other again. it hurts so much to live away from your love.
some day when i will become the USA president i will change the immigration law so everyone who married or engaged to American citizen can move to USA just in one week .or maybe thats why i will never become the USA president LOL.
have a nice blessed weekend everyone rose.gif

I completely relate to you. I miss my husband so much and think of him in everything I do. We are going crazy with this waiting. I hope the time away from your love passes quickly.
Olivia*
Ummm tenderheart that is a lovely suggestion and I sympathize with you coz it's been nearly as long for my hubby and I and will be nearly as long when we see each other again. Sure you aren't my Husband?

But on the becoming US prez deal in our constitution it says you have to be born a US citizen to be a US prez.

S and S
uh oh, there is no cat pic on this page. I can't go to bed without leaving one here too! So here is a cat pic of what I will be doing in moments from now, lol.




Goodnight late night club!
julianna
Tenderheart-- when you're together again it will make the wait disappear.

More kitties! I am having a real kitten-need at the moment. i remember how soft they are, how totally cute, how their little noses feel.. and of course the needle-teeth, biting the crap out of your feet, scratching you as they take off like a maniac... but the cuteness over-rules it!

Mostly, I can deal with those things. It is the keeping me up at night that drives me crazy. I really love having my hair bitten and pulled while I'm asleep, lol.

yeah, well, I am cat sitting for a friend and both cats have taken to laying in the direct paths I walk to include the stairs. Then if I don't see them they scream at me for stepping on them, but does that stop them from laying there? No, they just give me that look like "watch where you are going". lol, sometimes I call my cat Amira instead of her name because she thinks she is a little princess, lol. Apparently I am a mere servent in her kingdom!

Yeah, they are the kings and queens of pure egocentrism! LOL! Mine can never understand WHY I don't want to watch them eat constantly. I mean, how boring is that? but they keep telling me to come over and when i get there they just start eating.

Ammar gave me his sickness. grrr. Sore-ish throat and runny nose, etc. He asked me how he could have given me that because he didn't think one could catch a runny nose (as if that is a specific disease and not a symptom). You know, as much as he claims to know about germ-theory of disease, I don't think it has really made it into the general population's psyche over there (thus the widely-calimed theories such as ice makes you ill, bare feet make you ill, no covers make you ill, etc). smile.gif

I wonder if people here would be more sympathetic to that? I am not sure how much better you are at being president of a country you were born in (or born with its citizenship) than if you immigrated... think of like someone who came here at 2 years old. Are they any less qualified than someone born here? I dont think in that case it makes a difference. BUT, i can see the need to a time limit for years lived here or something like that... because you do need to have a handle of the issues, culture, language, etc.

Oh, good grief. My husband puts a towel over his mouth and nose when he gets out of the shower so he will not get sick breathing in cooler air after he gets out. His mother will make him dress warm too. I told him I would be sick all the time then because I don't do either of those things, lol. He says you never know when you got sick because he weren't cautious. I tell him I will take my chances since I get sick less often then he does!

Oh great, my cat and my friends cat have started their late night fighting. Once I go upstairs to bed they will take it up there. Their favorite place to fight is on me while I am sleeping! I've had to kick them out several times and the cat hasn't been here but a few days.

LOL! The A/c thing cracks me up. if A/C made you sick, then the whole US would be down and out every summer. I can't even imagine the towel over mouth/nose thing... and the strange part is that the logic you confronted him with will have no effect on the belief... that 99% of the 6 billion people in the world do NOT do this and do NOT get sick from not doing this is totally irrelevant smile.gif

I think with time I can get through to my husband. I felt him cracking with my logic, lol. He has no problem with the A/C though. He says Iraqis love air conditioning. Its apparently starting to catch on more in Jordan because Iraqis are asking for it though I don't know if that is true for sure or not.

My Dh like A/C, but more or less wants to keep the thermostat at 80, which is stiflingly hot. I know lots of businesses, etc in Jordan have A/C. I think the main issue with it would be the cost of their electricity.

I think its just rough playing because usually they are fine together. As for me being up? God, I wish they didn't think that way. At least its not a work night. The other day I only got three hours sleep because of them (okay I was up late on VJ too that night, but still). If I wanted to be up all night with loud noise then I would prefer it be my child keeping me up (inshallah I will have a chance for that soon). No hope though, my own cat thinks I should be playing fetch with her when I am laying in bed asleep. She drops the toys right on me so if I don't wake up I find them on me in the morning, lol.

Before my husband left Iraq they were only getting about one hour of electricity a day. He would rush to turn on the a/c as soon as the power came on because you know how hot it gets. I told him if he ever gets homesick I will be happy to turn the a/c off. He was like "nooooo". He hoped I wouldn't be that cruel, lol. Of course I wouldn't but I had to harrass him a little.

Oh yeah. Well you have a young kitty, right? They grow out of all this eagerness. after 2, they start to settle down and by 6/7 you can usually tell another level of calmness that hits. So she won't drive you nuts forever smile.gif

My last cat was 10 years old and mostly calm by then, but she had her wild moments where you weren't sure how she got the energy, lol. She would just tear through the house back and forth and have a crazy look in her eyes.

I'm not sure what they did about food storage. I don't remember that I asked though I know his parents always prefer to buy most things as they need them. Then again with the security situation going to the market is taking your life into your hands. I'll have to ask him about that.

yes... most of us take refrigerators for granted and would be lost without them smile.gif obviously, they are doing without it.

yeah, those older babies get wild moments too. I love it when my older cats find a toy and act like they are 2 again! I ca tell Ptolemy is beginning to feel old. He's 11 now, but he's slowing way down.
