Hi Gusncoley. I don't want to appear insensitive, and I am only asking this because a close family member of mine will need heart surgery soon. Did your insurance company pay for that?

Anything that opens at 8 or 9 am so we can actually use the time we have in the morning when the kids are at nursery! Agreed!

The UAE has NEVER offered free medical treatment for expats. Where do you get this information from? We had health cards in the early 2000's and only paid for medication and a small fee for consultation. Less than AED50 actually. Many treatments were completely free. Hurry quickly jump down my throat.. Sheez A long term Dubai resident is the one who informed me of this a while back. Not my fault I was given mis-information. And truly no further need to be rude.. Anyway, if you had to pay even a little for it, it was not free.

I guess it's a reminder for everyone to check their insurance. However, I know mine does not cover pre-existing conditions and they do check family history to see if there's a problem there too. My heart does go out however, to those who now have a difficult choice to make. Why is cancer considered a pre-existing condition?

Hi! I really need info on how to register with the US consulate here. The link on their site keeps on coming up unknown. I know somebody on this site told me how to do this before but I totally forgot and have no idea how to find that thread! TIA.

Did you walk inside the classrooms? Did you notice they were barren? Did you see a class in action? Did you notice that the kids are supposed to be sitting for several hours at a time? Did you see the teacher/student ratio? If so, what are your answers to my questions? <em>edited by AnonDubai on 02/05/2011</em>

Just an aside: On the back of some supermarket receipts, there is an offer for the DLC. If you pay for one year, you will get three months' free extension with the coupon. <em>edited by AnonDubai on 02/05/2011</em>

Often if a country has no representation here, they ask another country to handle those minor issues for them. Check out the Zimbabwean state department website or call them because it is possible that another allied African country is handling that here.

Mmm it really makes you feel like having a Julia Roberts moment "You work on commission, right? Big mistake. Huge! I have to go shopping now ...." :D Brilliant! This is exactly what I was thinking, only problem here is that I doubt they do get commission? You think the LV shopkeepers get 1000 dirhams a month like in every other shop?

Simply wonderful all round! Thought Harry, kate and William were going to fall around in fits of the giggles at one moment. For everyone who continually moans about the UK today showed why the UK is the envy of the world and such a great great country. No one can do it like the British! No complaints about the handling of the wedding but not altogether sure the UK is the envy of the world-quite happy to be an Aussie-and I am sure many envy the lifestyle there too!!!! UK envy of the world? lol

I had a full-time maid, then went for about 6 months without, and now I have a maid again. Although I was managing when I didn't have a maid, I was constantly doing housework and I never ever got a break, not even to spend some time with my DH. Now that I have a maid, I have lots of minor issues with her, but the general housework is being done and I can go out with my husband every once in a while after the kids go to sleep. That is priceless to me. I can never compare to back home because my life would be totally different if I were there (USA). I'd be working full-time, my kids would be at daycare all day, my DH would be helping out 50% with housework, and I'd have access to trustworthy people that are rarely found here. In my opinion, having a maid raises all sorts of annoying issues but it is still worth it.

I used to hoist mine up a little and sit on the hoisted up fabric, still go it stuck in the wheels sometimes. Other problem was getting it stuck in the wheels of supermarket trolleys, damaged a few like that. I was going to say the same thing. I now wear only short abayas when I go grocery shopping for this reason.

And what will happen if their firstborn is a girl? Will she become Queen after her father dies? If their second child is a boy, would he take over his sister's place and become King after his father dies? And for each child they have, does that make Prince Harry's place in line just get higher and higher? <em>edited by AnonDubai on 29/04/2011</em>

I feel like I have this problem too but my youngest child is 2 years old. I am constantly straightening my hair with a flat iron so I am worried that it is because of this.

Why don't you use an agency where you sponsor the maid? You can have one relatively quickly and you can decide what salary you'd like to pay provided it satisfies the minimum wage requirement.

I go to a taylor in Souq Al Bahar in Sharjah. I paid AED 250 for a lovely one (suitable for a party) with sheela & it's similar to one I saw at 1st Lady (AED 1200). For a simple one I paid AED 150. There are several taylors there & they have all types of materials like Salona, stretch, etc. He finishes it in 2-3 days. Where is this Sook al Bahar?
