A very touchy issue for some. These highly intelligent mammals don't have the option they are forced to interact with humans in a captive environment. A far better idea is to take a boat trip in Oman and see them in their natural environment swimming alongside the boat, and at times ' racing ' in front. I urge all who are thinking of supporting captive marine mammal entertainment.......watch Blackfish, it will change your mind......:( Totally agree with what you are saying. Maybe a little off topic, but how is this different from keeping dogs and cats at home? I am not trying to start an argument or anything just want to understand, as i refused to have pets all of my life cause i thought it's the same.

Thanks Apricot, I was referring to the edible Halawa, the white/beige sesame based confectionary, usually in the Jam and Honey section at supermarkets. <em>edited by Carambar on 09/09/2014</em>

You will have to hire someone through an agency. I have used Busy bees in the past, they were good and flexible with timings.

Did you try Victoria's secret? I find their fitting room staff very good and capable of recommending appropriate cuts.

We usually gift gold jewelry to the bride in Arabic weddings. But it all depends on your budget and how close you are to the family. <em>edited by Carambar on 05/09/2014</em>

Have you tried the microSD in your PC to see if you can access the files from there. Same thing happened with my sons, but we could access the files from the PC. You need a little adapter, I think they are about 10-15AED from C4. [url=http://images.geeksimages.com/imageshare/M/300x300/MICROSD-ADAPTER-unit.jpg'>link[/url'> Ohhhh I bought a 100 AED USB adaptor, n it didn't work, my laptop couldn't even read it! will try the other options n see

Just so that you know, I am planning a trip to Dubai Mall & Mall of the Emirates tomorrow. Any good shops in these 2 malls? That's a good budget. Check Level n La Fayette at Dubai Mall. They both have many brands. <em>edited by Carambar on 10/08/2014</em>

We've been living in the same building on SZR for the last 2 years. During the last couple of months they started to have some maintenance work: Changed elevators (which were working fine, and now the new ones are breaking every other day), closed 2 restaurants downstairs, doing upgrades in another shop downstairs. Ever since we started getting rats in the building. We tried with the maintenance office first, they said we have done what needs to be done (Whatever that means) in the common areas of the building, now it's the tenants problem. Now this is completely unacceptable since we only starting having those nasty creatures because of their so called maintenance work. We tried the pest control who've put traps in the ceilings but again that does not stop the rats from escaping and getting into our kitchen. Most of the tenants are complaining about this BTW. Now if the Maintenance and owner don't care, who should we complain to? Is there a gov entity that deal with those complaints? Thanks <em>edited by Carambar on 27/07/2014</em>

I bought quite a few from DM. But i wouldn't recommend to get it if it's for the "Halal aspect" reason, apparently it is only breathable if you apply one thin layer. If you apply a thick layer or more than one layer, it is not breathable anymore. Hi Carambar, Do you have a link for this nail polish not being halal as in cant make the ablution with this on? as some ladies still think its 'Halal' TIA This is one of the links. It does not say it is not halal, but if you apply more than one coat the water will not go thru, which will not make ur wudu right, hence making it not halal. http://www.suhaibwebb.com/personaldvlpt/worship/prayer/is-breathable-nail-polish-sufficient-for-wuḍu/ Experiment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmBQg1OGTPY <em>edited by Carambar on 29/06/2014</em>

Just the usual not really helping at home it with DS, moaning about thing not done to his liking and thinking he never does anything wrong!!!! Just venting as I feel fed up!!! Feel like a cook and a maid not a wife at all :-( Sounds like a typical husband to me ☺ It looks like you don’t have a help at home, why not try and get an agency nany twice a week: Once so that you can go out and do something for yourself, massage, shopping... And once so that you can go out with your DH on your own and spend some quality time

The prices of Carbonated drinks are regulated and are the same everywhere be it a small grocery or a large supermarket. You will only find a difference if you compare prices of supermarkets vs. shops like the ones in petrol stations. Also the sales promotions are done seasonally by companies and you will find them in hypermarkets (Carrefour, lulu, co-op, panda…)

Anyone on this forum or know of anyone with thyroid cancer here in dubai who would be interested in swapping experiences / chat/ give each other support? Tia :-) Hi Lulla, may i ask which doctor did you go to? Asking coz i've been having inflated Lymph nodes for over 6 mths now and no one knows what it is. Quite concerned as it is not going. It was affecting my ears, so went to an ENT, but he said it is not that and he didn't know who to refer me to.
