I've got an undergrad and Masters degree, am a published author, and had a good career before shifting countries and having kids. Being a stay-home mom while my kids are very young is temporary but important work. Wonderfully said ! , More women need to hear this ! :alien: :alien: :alien: , Now I r...
And what is wrong with helpers and daycare? It is nice to be able to do things with your kids and come home to a clean house etc. My older boy goes to a local pre-school for 3 hrs per day and he loves it! Did you know that the maternity leave in some countries is only 45 to 90 days, depending on the...
I think spellcheckergirl is referring to the value of your lost Indonesian rupiah that BM found in the apartment? Hmm, I wonder who spellcheckergirl could be... *Yawn* indeed.
We're doing some short travels to Philippines, Cambodia and Thailand.
DK, we had a wonderful trip to Sri Lanka - have you been there before? There are 7 world heritage sites to see, tea plantations, wildlife reserve safaris, sea turtles, elephants, and beaches!
Sounds good to me. I've got my foe list in action, so that will do wonders to help me behave. :)-- Wed May 04, 2011 5:37 am -- Maybe there’s some confusion over what people want for a community forum? If the current Status Quo is really what everyone wants then long may it continue! I wished for a l...
If Pakistan did know, then the US needs to do something drastic to show Pakistan that they cannot play both sides. Pull out all aid and stop using them as an "ally", because clearly they are not.
Its a whole mish-mash of racism, bias about competency, status, and taking advantage of the fact that citizens of certain countries would be making lower salaries back home, so they don't feel the need to pay them the same as other workers from countries typically paying higher salaries - even thoug...
When I worked in Dubai I had a higher degree, but lower experience in the area and my Indian colleagues had more experience and were paid a bit less than me for doing the same job. I didn't stay long.
Robert Fisk is a serious nut-job. He manages to contort facts to his own little reality. I also notice he's still parroting the long discredited (the figure was never taken seriously by non-loons) casualty figure of over half a million dead in Iraq. He's even managed to repeat the lie that the US g...
After getting ripped off several times I now ask for a separate bill for myself. When eating out as a couple with others we all arrange for separate bills. A few times we've gone Dutch when we all had about same bill anyway.
Re: Osama and the CIA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA-Osama_bin_Laden_controversy http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO109C.html Just two links, am still reading to find out more info but am short on time today.

eh, The Daily Mail is only useful for lining the bottom of birdcages. If you are trying to talk about something that Robert Fisk has claimed, please post his claims and why you refute them.
DDS, just add them to your foe list to avoid flaming. I think that even if they arrested OBL he would have been a martyr anyway. It is without a shadow of a doubt that he was guilty, and guarding him and sending him to trial would cost many millions of dollars. OBL has already cost several governmen...
I've been on here for years and don't find Shaf to be anti-semitic, rather anti-zionist. Even that may not be accurate, since Shaf has never said that Israel shouldn't exist, but rather wishes it would at least honour the pre-1967 borders - ultimately so that both Israel and Palestine can exist in p...
I don't get the whole "fate" thing, and does it only apply to Emiratis? If someone is yakking on their phone, driving 140 down the highway, weaving in and out of traffic, with kids playing loose in the backseat of the car and suddenly there is an accident and the kids are thrown from the c...
