And it distracts us from issues that actually affect us! (i think this is the fox agenda anyways)
i think you hit the nail on the head.... no one wants us to be properly informed of the REAL issues of the world... if we're dumb about it we won't have a say in what goes on.
Actually I think it was a public service announcement......I mean....we all need to know when a insane person has a baby. It's for our own protection.good point!
I get mine from the Daily Show and the Colbert ReportI love them!

Now my husband would love it to death! if I wore the hijab. But he doesn't force it. He really likes the Hijab and also it's a cultural and Islamic way of them having authority over you, really it is.
NO it's not! It has nothing to do with men at all. It is a religious act nothing more nothing less. And a darn good one too in my opinion. Just look at the differences of how women here are treated there... those of us who wear it there don't get nearly the amount of problems as those of you who choose not to. I was there and everyone I met was perfectly respectful and nice to me. Granted, they thought I was Arab but even after my husband explained that I did not understand Arabic fluently and told them I was American they were still VERY nice to me. Men did not even talk to me alhamdulilah! If they needed something from me they would address my husband. One man out of the whole time I was there tried to shake my hand but Yousuf was quick to smack it away LOL. And NO it was not because he was trying to control me, it was because he knew that I would not shake hands with a man and he was protecting me. No one stared at me in bad ways. No one dared look at me in a lustful manner (1. because my husband is a a very big strong man, I'm sure) but also because I felt as if they respected me. Western women at the pyramids who were dressed like they didn't know where they were, were treated badly but not me.. not once. I'm not saying it's excusable for them to treat anyone that way, I'm just making the point that covering is not a bad thing. Even in the western countries... those women who dress more modestly are taken more seriously than those who expose 90% of their bodies.

Nothing new here, just waiting. I130 approved but no papers yet.
Laundry?
I hate it but I guess I might be happy to do more of it if my husband could just get here. Can't iron for ######!
Not been around a lot lately, daughter is sick, sick, sick!
One more week of April and then May! Then four more months to go till interview!
I don't know anyone who hates doing "laundry"

I got in first try this morning and almost wet myself when I saw a new date and an approval!
Congratulations! I'm really happy for you!
But still
for myself because I still have not been able to log on yet... not once
Someone suggested clearing the cache... how is that done and has anyone else tried that and it worked?

I am ashamed to answer this.... last year at a party at my brother's house my daughter (who was 4 at the time) was showing off to everyone all of her vast knowledge.... after reciting the 7 continents I commented to her "Oh that's great sweetie, but I don't think Australia is a continent"
Needless to say, a vote was held that night and it was agreed upon that I should have NO part in her world studies education EVER again
To this day, no matter how true or correct something I say is, it is rebutted with "So, tell us again, what are the 7 continents???"

LOL, I took care of that problem on my first trip there. I got him a bunch of Jeans from the gap, boy was he relieved.
Literally.
Levis 501's are popular there, thats why they are so tight.
I fussed about his jeans every day in Egypt... I almost put HIM in a jilbab/abaya!!!
Ok once you bring them home and get you know what out of your system what do you first plan on doing with them? I think if he gets here by summer time i will take him around town and go to the store get some chicken, fruit and drinks and go out to the wilderness and do some serious fishing. What about you guys?
I so read that wrong! hahahahahha
You guys/girls are cracking me up tonight

NC?
yes... u know it?

why of course... go shopping!!!
I was thinking that too... gotta get him some new pants... I can't stand those TIGHT pants the guys in the ME wear! What's that about????
After that he has to meet all of my family
and then I think we're going to take a weekend trip to Cherokee.
well, when sanita arrived i had been doing the laundry by hand.....and then...well a........a.a...a.......a..OMG!!! That one actually caught me off guard!

This may be a stupid question but for those women here who wear that swimwear in the picture- do you go in the water? If you want to go in the water what do you wear?
Just curious, because when I was in Morocco most women who stayed covered up stayed on the beach under their umbrellas, but I was just wondering.
K thanks.
Sarah
From what I've gathered about that swimsuit is that the material is appropriate for actually going in the water. I love to swim and so I'm hoping it works well. If I don't get a chance to buy it before swimming season I'll probably just wear a pair of spandex pants and a BIG long sleeve t-shirt with a scarf or a cap over my hair.

Some people think its rude when you go get a manicure and all the manicurists are speaking thier language, I don't think it is.
This made me remember Dat Phan
If you're not familiar with him he's a vietnamese comedian... in his act he does a bit about those manicurists and what they're really saying about you when they have your feet in their hands!!!
I love hearing my husband talk arabic he sounds soooo sexy!! Did you notice that when they speak arabic and english they have two different kind of tones. Especially when trying to say things in english that have R..it's like rrrrrr rolling the tongue r. like the spanish rYESSSSSS

You make me feel evil by posting these tragedies for which my first instinct is to laugh!
My first thought too
Now if we could only get them to commit suicide when their brains are too small. -
I have read hadiths (sayings/actions of the Prophet) about the impurity of the saliva of the dog but none of them (the ones that I have read) mention anything about nonbelievers (or even pigs for that matter).
The article online says that one of the teachers commented that they only use that book to teach them how to read the texts but not to learn the law from it and that they don't teach from the chapter of the book that this is included in.
“The idea is not to teach them jurisprudence because most of the fatwas of Muhaqiq are not actually conforming with the fatwa of our modern jurists. The idea is that they would be able to read classical texts and that is all.”
I have never read anything like this in the Quran or any hadiths. The Quran says (I'm paraphrasing) to deal justly with nonbelievers as long as they are not harming the believers.
60.8 Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just. -The Quran

I just had to giggle at the use of the word "**" for cigarette....

That would bug the ####### out of me! I experienced this for 10 LONG years with my ex. He and his family and friends would always speak Vietnamese no matter where they were or who was around. They would lay up at my house all night drinking and blabbing away in Vietnamese and laughing non stop. I knew there were times when they were talking about me because they weren't even smart enough not to look me dead in the face while they were talking about me in their language. It really ticked him off when I started picking up on the language and caught him talking about other women with his friends! And the thing that really peeved me about it was every one of them spoke English fluently!! IF they wanted to talk to me they would speak English to me as good as (if not better than) me. It didn't bother me when his grandmother did it because she honestly didn't speak English and she was like 90 years old so she wasn't gonna learn. She would talk TO me in Vietnamese and then stare at me like "why are you not answering me?"
Anyway, I know this will happen when I meet Yousuf's family because none of them speak English but it won't bother me for that reason and I am sure Yousuf will translate anything for me that I don't understand. I have talked to one of his sisters on yahoo before and he helped me; he was on one screen and she was on another... when she'd type something in Arabic that I didn't understand I would copy and paste it to his screen and he would translate it for me... then I'd tell him what I wanted to say back to her if I didn't know how to type it and he would type it in Arabic so I could copy and paste it back into her screen
I also met one of his friends in Egypt and they were both very polite any time I was in the room with them they would speak English out of courtesy for me because our religion forbids speaking in a different language when someone who doesn't speak that language is in the same room (if they speak that persons language).
If I were you I would tell him that it bothers you and maybe he can ask them not to speak Arabic while you're around since they do have the option to speak French.

Wow, I am glad to see I'm not alone on this. My husband would be thrilled if I wore the Hijab and Djalaba. I did notice the looks I would get there, and at first he didn't notice. I thought to myelf...Hell no, I'm not going to bring it up, but he finally noticed. OMG he was mad. But after so many stares we just started to laugh about it.
Okay girls, now I am curious what your SO's say about swimsuits. Well I told my husband that I have a nice modest swimsuit. Two piece, but it is a tank top and boy shorts. I showed him and the webcam and he said "no way". lol Then he sent me a link of "appropriate" swimsuits....check it out...

This will be interesting to say the least.
I have many more stories, but at the moment this one just seems the funniest.
I wasn't going to comment on this post until I got to this one....
I like this swimsuit and plan on buying one like it sometime before (or shortly after) the pool opens at my apartment complex. Maybe you don't like it but for those of us who observe the Islamic dress code on a daily basis in public, this type of swimsuit is perfect! If you ladies like to wear bikinis or whatever else in public that is your business but please don't make fun of the ones who are trying to be modest. Thanks

OMG they don't make a face to describe me at this moment!!!! That was hilarious! I am crying from laughing so hard! I gotta send that to my mom she'll LOVE it!!!!

I don't know. I thought I found a way around using the website by calling the 800 number because the FAQ says it's the same info. WRONG! At least not exactly anyway. It doesn't tell you when it was last updated or "touched". I know when my petition was received I don't need to check that every day
I need to know if they are looking at it
I've been looking for tech support on the site too but I can't find it and it says you can only send emails to ask about two specific questions. Neither of which is related to this in anyway. Wonder why I can acces any other page on their site except the login page???? Is that what everyone else is getting too?

There's so much poo flinging going on in many of the threads lately
fling some in the direction of CSC! Get them off their butts!!!!

I have not been able to log in for three days!!
I'm going to pull my hair out if they don't fix this soon!
Do you think if anything happens I would still get an email although the site is whacky?

In all seriousness... I've been thinking about this for a while, and it definitely comes down to this. The line is drawn, and it lies between the ultra conservative religious right, and the not so religious. For those of you that have had it drilled into you that sex and masturbation is bad, that looking at the opposite sex and fantasizing about them is a sin... it's all brainwashing, and that makes everything worse than what it actual is. For Pete’s sake... looking at another man or woman, naked or not, on the Internet or in person, and having sexual thoughts... DOES NOT CONSTITUE INFIDELITY!!! If you want to break up a relationship... do it over something substantial... not something like looking at other people’s bodies!
I don't think any religion teaches that sex is bad.... if that were the case and we were all brainwashed to believe that then the human race would have died out long ago. What most religions teach is that sex is good but PRIVATE between a husband and wife.

Does it really matter if anyone liks him now? I mean over half of America supported him when it counted.. at the elections.. so we're stuck with him until the end of his term and even if he wanted to he couldn't come back after that anyway so who cares? If ever there was a time to NOT support him it would have been at the last election, at least then we could have kept him from returning to office and screwing up Amercan any more than he already has. Admittedly, I don't really understand politics anyway so maybe there is something I'm missing?
