Hi Dawn !

Hey gals, whats cooking? I'm sooooo glad it's Friday! I can't wait for Spa Day, I'm pooped it's been a hell of a week.

J-mag, love the new nickname

Peezey have you been Menara Morrocan? I want to try it, is it good?

I went years ago. I wasn't impressed. I haven't been impressed by any moroccan restaurants I've been to. I think they don't concentrate on the food because they entertain people instead. That said, I'm sure with a group it's fun to check out. They have belly dancing & a bar.

You should try 7 Restaurant/Lounge. The best New York I've ever had, and I'm not a fan of beef!

I will have to check that out! Did you hear they are opening a Mortans in Los Gatos!!!!???!!!

Hey ladies, what does a snake bite in a dream mean?

from Dream Dictionary.......



Snake To see a snake or be bitten by one in your dream, signifies hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. The snake may also be seen as phallic and thus symbolize dangerous and forbidden sexuality. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes

Someone just asked me if I watch Snakes on a Plane last night.

after sifting through 5 pages I found this thread sad and lonely so I thought I'd give it a BUMP

awwww the poor yallah middle east thread.

I finally got my living room the way I want it decorated.. I couldn't find curtains or drapes to go with my furniture, but yesterday at Target I found some..took long enough. Now I have to tackle the downstairs.

Snow Snow Snow . It's snowing again. I am so tired of the snow!!!!

I've got Bamia simmering on the stove... your recipe Smelling deLISH....

I love Target -- low on expense, high on style. (I got my curtains & sheers there, too !)

I often wonder how people can deal with living in areas where it snows in the winter. Too much work for me and waaaay too cold. However, California is full, so please don't come here.



Yes, I'm just kidding. I love the diversity here and though it is overcrowded, I guess there's always room for more right?

Everytime we go to Target my husband finds shirts for like 3 or 4 dollars and buys them and later complains he had too much clothes. hahaha. We made bamia 2 weeks ago helps when you fry the okra beforehand gets rid of most of the gooey-ness.



hehehehe with the cost of living no way!! Would like to visit someday though.

Yes... I do that, too.



-MK

LOL that's why I live in South Texas. Plenty warm, and without the VAT of Cali.

I'm at a loss as to what VAT is. Help?

Value Added Tax (sales tax)

Just keepin the thread alive

There's no sales tax in Texas? I know several states don't have it. Must be nice.

yes, there is a sales tax in texas. just not a personal property tax like some states.

Oh there's definitely a sales tax in Texas. I was just making a little joke about "Value-Added" tax -- everything in Cali costs more simply because... it's in Cali

I used to live there as a child. It's nice. But the prices have gone wayyyyy up since then. Living in South Texas has got me used to expecting a lot more for my dollar.

Texas has a 6.25 percent state sales tax.

note that this can go higher due to county and city taxes added on.

We have plenty of sales tax in North Texas . . . I think the max allowed by Texas law but we are supporting a mass transit system that includes light rail along with tons more ppl than other areas . . . I think the sales tax is determined by each city here.

Actually, I want to live in Northern California (I am overdue for a trip to San Francisco, LOL). But after I saw how much someone had to pay for a small amount of space inside the city, I decided it might be better to stay in Texas . . . but I think our highways are catching up quickly to the congestion levels of CA, hehe, I found that I have no problems driving out there now and it used to scare me a bit.

I am home alone, husband is at work.
I mentioned in off topic my husband was in a wreck yesterday. There were a lot of car accidents due to a freak rain storm which instantly turn to ice. the sidewalks were so icy you could barely stand up. They had to close the viaducts that go over the railroad tracks because cars and trucks couldn't make it over them. One of our vehicles was damaged about 1300 dollars to fix. Thank goodness we have full coverage on it, but most of all I am very thankful my husband didn't get hurt. After work all i wanted to do was hug and kiss him and was very very grateful nothing happen to him.

I am so sick of winter and can't wait for spring!!!!!

Angel

I'm glad he is ok angelk! Thank God for that! Hopefully everything will go well for you guys.
