doodle- i flew with alitalia in dec from beirut to toronto.....i had a 5hr layover, turned into a 6hr layover..it was dec tho. i made it safely. the bags took forever coming out in toronto tho. the planes indeed are old, and the seats and all that, and i didnt like the service...but the take off and landing were nice...good pilot i guess thats all that matters......and well a good plane lol..

i am flying Royal Jordanian again...i like them, the entertainment sucks, and i got sick on the food, but its a semi direct flight for me and the price was right. plus the airport in amman is smaller so i wont get lost lol. 7 more days til i leave!!!

Happy Tuesday...

I miss Ben & Jerry's Bovinity Divinity. It was my favorite

I try not to eat ice cream much though, it's my vice. When I succumb, I go for sorbet. Haagen Dasz raspberry sorbet is really good. But it's not ice cream.

If anyone has read about my fly saga on OT, it's driving me BONKERS!!!! I don't understand how it's survived multiple spritzings with bleach, ammonia, and even EZ-Off-Bam

those damn NY flies are mutants of some kind!!! lol

ice cream is my vice too... i've learned to love non-fat versions, even splenda versions are not bad in a dire need for ice cream!
you should try the haagen daaz raspberry sorbet/vanilla yogurt swirl. its awesome!!!

MmmmmmmmmMMMMMM.. I have the most fantasic Haagen Daaz chocolate shake when I was in Amsterdam!!!!

Dee-yea in Riyadh hubby says i have to. i dont have to cover my face...but i have to wear the Abaya and the head scarf. im not worried about it, and im not gonna stress about what im wearing when i first get there cause he told me to just make sure its something decent....i am still working to get my dress dyed black, right now its a dark grey color....after 7 boxes of dye....yikes...i will let it soak for an hour in this next one and then agitate it for 30mins and then rinse.....hope it works lol.

We've got "mutant" crickets here in NC. I think some people call them spider crickets or camel crickets. They've got these huge legs that make them look like spiders. I live in an older house and when I moved in, a developer had just cleared a bunch of land behind the house to put in a new development. WELL, that apparently opened up the seventh hell portal of these dayum crickets. I was killing up to six a day. Even my neighbors said they had the same problem. I was the first to call Orkin...that was after I was laying in the bed one night and one started crawling up the wall behind my head. Needless to say...Orkin is still on my speed dial...but no more crickets.

I feel for ya.....I HATE BUGS!!!!

OMG...I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. We call them camel crickets (or cave crickets), although not very common here so most people have no clue what I'm talking about. I killed 6 of them in my basement last year. When I told my fiance that I had these monsterous, hideous, spiderlike crickets all in my basement...he was imaging 100's infesting my basement. He seems to STILL get a chuckle that there was 6. He just doesn't understand how utterly grotesque these things were. We've also had them at my work before and even some of the men are freaked out by them. Oh and to make it even worse, they can jump like a 100 feet.

Yup, I'd be freaking out if one was crawling up the wall behind my head!!!!

I get the heebie jeebies just talking about them!

I think unless you are living on a western compound, the abaya is really "necessary."

well.. I have gotten used to being fully covered and dealing with the heat.. and I do mean.. clothes.. abaya.. arm covers.. underscarf and hijab.. all 100 layers

...

BUT i would think it would be SOOO hard to be a non muslim.. who Never covered.. to then move to saudi.. where in July its 120+ degrees.. where you then have to cover..

Maybe I'll make this a new thread... Since it's not Tuesday anymore
