Death threats OMG have people nothing better to do? It is like those two hideous trolls in the UK who have been jailed for their vile comments towards two women on Twitter. There is a Singapore facebook page with the photos he posted. Terrible and upsetting comments directed at THE CHILD by so many. Derogatory comments and just pure evil at the 5 year old. And as of yesterday threats as well.

she arrived at her hotel about an hour ago and said she wants to go somewhere very casual, inxpensive with a very laid back but not young crowd. She said the front desk told her "Fiddy McGees" ?! its on SZR. Maybe we will try that but I really do appreciate these suggestions

A pharmacist told me if you still have an unopened tube the shelf life is 2 years after the expiration date. IF already opened a year. I am curious why they have stopped stocking here....

No if I've done a donation I'm not buying an individual gift as well and I feel that's pretty much the norm in the class. Thank you !

It is the commentors who just do not get that it is satire! I heard that whole "gold lane" fiasco talked about in various places - people actually thought it was real ! I can not believe anyone takes this site so seriously!

I am curious. The parents of my child's class were asked for a 100-200aed donation to get a gift for the teacher and the aide. I already chipped in 150 but overheard one of the mothers say she is getting her own gift as well. Just curious if that is the norm? My oldest is very young so I am new at this. I know it is not obligatory but just wondering what the norm is. thank you

I have been using the Blu filter that many rave about and have not noticed any difference. It is definitly something here and my GP told me that of all the countries she has worked in this is the worst she has seen for hair loss. And it seems to have increased in the amount of ladies coming to her for help and referrrals for it over a yaer. Not sure how many countries she has lived in or where but did find that interesting. This is the 8th country I have lived in and this is the absolute worst condition my hair has been in. I no longer blowdry it except my bangs maybe once or twice a week. I also can tell you I once had hair that flowed way below my chest and now I am struggling to get it past my lower shoulders. If your bloodwork is all normal you can also try:::: exposing yourself to more sun. WithOUT sunblock and make sure your scalp is exposed for about 20 minutes. Try taking biotin, fish oil, vitamin A. head massages too. I also tried the Regain for Men (it is stronger) and continue to use that. I started all this in May and have noticeable regrowth all over. my whole root area is thicker but it is growing in kinky! even wavier. My scalp has a lot of volume now but my hairline is still receded but not nearly as terrible as before. Before at certain angles you could see my scalpline and many would ask me flat out if i was sick or ill! I was very upset. I also use many organic oils when massageing my hair -almond, argon, cocunut, olive. For me I had to take very strong iron supplements because my bloodwork showed a severe deficiency. So with all this I cannot pinpoint what works or not. maybe just the combination. However I still cannot get it to grow past my lower shoulders when it has always grown like a weed! "dollymadison"- brought up the milk issue! very interesting! I will look into that as i am a nesspresso with froth drinker! thank you

Maybe do a search on here. This was my first time dealing with anything like this so I do not have anyone to compare her to. I do have regrowth though and am happy about that

First you need to get bloodwork and see if this is hormonal, a deficiency, or hereditary. I would do that asap. from there you can seek remedies. I am sorry, I went thru something similiar

Nice you to care, but I would follow mrsb's advice. Give her the number of the consulate. Seriously, you may find your own visa being cancelled, and no, I am not trying to spread fear and lies, just saying it as it is. The maid could find herself being jailed for a long long time. This can take many directions. Another possibility is for the maid to feign sickness, pretend that she has appendicitis symptoms etc, just to get out of the house, but you really would be wise to not advise her. When push comes to shove, she may disclose who advised her. This is not a regular employment dispute, and I doubt any lawyer would involve. I also doubt that you know where you are stepping. Excellent advice as well as the others who have told you to let the consulate handle it. There was a woman who got involved awhile back after being approached in a park about something similiar and she swore it caused her so many problems immediantly after.

Anytime I hear about proposed projects and what needs to be built here the first thing that always comes to my mind is a humane ZOO !!! If any of you have been to the Dubai one and seen those conditions it is heartbreaking. I have been hearing for many years that a new one is coming.

FYI I emailed the OP last night 9pm to ask her to send her CV. Til now nothing. If I was desperate to find a job, that CV would have been sent by 9:05pm with a cover letter. Perhaps this is why people have trouble hiring and then people say they can't find a job! What a nasty thing to post over someone else's back. Totally uncalled for. yes mean spirited and unprofessional

Hello! Iknow it has been awhile but wanted to provide some feedback. I met a dentist while away on a trip from AU who has experience with this method. He does NOT recommend it. His main reason being that his clients felt the results actually were not long lasting. I was quite suprised but guess there is alwys a catch. I valued his opinion as he has been practicing for years and is well regarded and also becuase he had no motive with me not being clinet. He did recommend invisalign -think I spelled that right ! and there is another recent thread on it

I also have a couple who are going thru a nasty divorce. I cannot believe all the vile posts the mother constantly updates with. Once you post it is there forever for your children to to hear about or maybe see. A few of my friends are family court attorneys and they all say during the first session they advise clients to STOP posting on facebook and to go thru the photos and remove tags

Just returned from Paris and it was a dissapointment. Spent more time trying to find functioning rides. One day 8 were down and one malfunctioned while we were on it. Even the hotel was not up to par. Phone was never fixed and toilet had to be worked on each day. Yet children being children they were still thrilled and loved it. One was a bit cranky about Small World being down though.

If you are selling used items-no matter how excellent the condition- you must sell for at LEAST half off the price. Typically it is said to sell for 60% off the origional price for excellent condition. Obviously take more off if there are tears and damage. I have had the best luck with furniture on Dubizzle. Some pieces sold and picked up within 2 hours of posting. I have put my number on and the "final price". Yes, there have been some time wasters. Those who show up, agree on a price without a deposit, and never show up for pickup. I always tell them I have someone else looking at the same piece later on or the next day. I find clothing, and baby/childrens items a headache. Some call asking questions where the information is already in the ad. Some call too much its annoying that I have had to just say I will not sell it. It can be draining but overall I have had great luck on there

Hello and Welcome I have used Dr.Khan for other procedures and can highly recommend him. He was actually recommended by other ladies who had breast augmentation and were very satisfied. Even my OBGYN recommends him to her patients for breast augmentation. I can tell you that I found him to be very thourough and I did not feel rushed at all. He was meticulous and even the hospital staff said he was the best because he is a perfectionist.If you have any questions I can answer of please let me know

I am pretty sure juans is open Fridays not so sure if they are what you are looking for though. As simpleasabc said just sort the guest you want to be around because the rest will take care of themselves- probably even regardless of your arrangements. Take a breath and stay calm. Stress is horrid for your skin and you would not want a breakout. My cousin sounds similiar to you. She put in massive effort at her wedding and frankly no one remembers all the details except how demanding she came across. She truly resents that that is how people remeber her wedding day the most. She was so far in the detail and stress that she could not see it. I cant be sure this is how you come off to those around you but just basing on your post it may be so. I hope everything works out and flows for you on your wedding celebration.

I was not considering camping but I do realize how wonderful that would be. Since I am alone I would much prefer a hotel/resort type. Preferrably one that can schedule outings
