The food industry is a trillion dollar industry. Sorry, they do not care about healthiness, safety, or the consumer other than the money they spend on consumption. With the sickness industry also being another trillion dollar industry (pharm companies) it's almost like it is a nefarious partnership aimed at keeping people complacent and sick from the food they eat, turning to meds that treat symptoms not cause. Unless you are raising your own livestock, yeah...not much guarantees. Luckily we can opt for some of the better choices out there and educate ourselves in this day and age. That being said I love to eat something naughty every now and then, don't have delusions that it's a healthy component to my nutritional plan, though. And don't wonder too deeply about what's really in what I'm eating, that ruins the experience lol Couldn't agree more.

At least the meatballs here come from Saudia Arabia. Perhaps they are camel meat..... Oh KSA.... I remember in the 90s, there were a little scandal about a KSA meat company, that served horsemeat in thier products, that they labled HALAL.....

OP, If you live in a place that have a big space, if a villa or a big balcony in your apt. May I suggest that you can wash your carpet yourself? I do wash all the carpets in my house, it will cost you the carpet cleaner and carpet brush...read the instruction on the carpet cleaner and what it says....the hose it down with plenty of water... That's the way carpet cleaning cost me less than 10 dhs. HTH

I am sorry for all the mess you had gone throw, the problem is: it's your word againest his word. And this is the problem. I can't tell you the anger and the frustration that I feel on your behalf, as I am just like any other lady over here had my share of this harassment and attacks. It's so sad that you can't get closure for this, what I can only tell you is: try to let go. It's hard to let it go, I know, you keep having these creeps faces engraved in your imagination, sometimes I feel that I want to find out where is his family and tell them about this, but I will only bring more trouble to my self. try to let go, but don't forget, classes of self defence is your best choice, it will regain back your self esteem that you lost, and another thing: if pepper spray is illegal, well... pesticides are not, keep a small bottle in your handbag, you will never know when you will find a pest to spray. another thing: do not let your guard off, I know it's very difficult, to walk in life and expecting the worse from a perfect strangers...that what I do, and after a while it become a second nature. Please please please, do NOT blame your self for what happen, you have done nothing wrong at all angles, you are the victim, but do not let yourself to be victimised. You are strong and you will pass this, like every woman in the whole world. Chin up, you are a survivor of harassment. Take care xxx

We just moved into Wasl Square from Abu Dhabi. Was wondering if any of you reside here and use the services of a agency for housemaid/domestic help/babysitting. Wasl Square is just opposite Safa Park nearby Jumeirah. Hi sshoroff, This is my first time to know there is maid/baby sitting agency in that place, I am near you, I would really like to know what is the name of the agency and if you can provide contacts....as I do like the idea of having an agency just cross the road of me.... I will try to give them a try and report back...or maybe you will be before me in that matter. Thanks :)

next time you find anybody ask this personal questions....just tell them: why you are asking? they will get errr emmm and give different answers....just put your sunglasses back - if you are out and about - or just continue reading/ listening to what you have been doing....if the stupid person insisted on asking the same question, then just tell them bluntly: it's not your business. and that should finish the whole BS talking.....

Places where gender is segregated? some of the worst crimes against women take place in non-segregated societies. Please DM, keep this thread on that board, don't get it deleted. I am active on sites that empower women against sexual harassments and rap. I did read so many articles and studies about that matter, please do read again my post, and don't jump on me. Thank you.

This attitiude - let's say it out loud" sexual harassment" - is all over the world, but it's more concentrated in comunities that believe in gender sagregation, in Japan they do have it, and they are not sub con, arabs or even have one of the three main religions -&gt; islam, christianity or judaism. so you will find this harassments everywhere, specially in comunities that look down at women and conceder them as lower species than man/male. As for the majority of women who are shocked or feel ashamed of the harassment that happened to them, thinking the time of the day when the attack happened - yes it's attack - or the place that it took place in, or the way women where dressed up.....it's all nonsense. when a theft happened, no body blame the stolen items for being stolen, when a murder happen no one blame the murdered person for being killed, then why on earth blame the victim of sexual harassment for the attack had been happened to her? it's time to address things with it's true name, whatever the OP was doing in that building, it shouldn't be an invitation for any low life to do that to her. OP, stand your ground, don't let anybody make you feel you are there to please his sick fantasies. Go Girl.

On a slight aside, it might be helpful to advise expat ladies (God forbid they need to know) but in the Gulf region there are no such things as undertakers. My children had to go to the morgue in Doha and prepare my DH for burial. It was a mixture of the tragic, the comic and the surreal. LT, I am sorry for you and your children's loss. The undertaker/ graveyard watch man is the same. and the burial is done by the close family members, it's the only way that close family can come to terms of theirs loss. It's a bit difficult for everybody gone throw this, it's just a reminder how we are all fragile and everybody will be washed and dressed up, that is the only thing I did learn from my early days when I was a teen. That's why when any of our family members die, we - the children - are always kept away from all of this, I remember it can take up to a week when we placed with a relative from the other side of the family - my mum side if the deceased is from my father side and vice versa - and it ends with contacting the lawyer and reading the well....

In GCC countries they follow the Islam rules, in another words: women are always been not that welcomed to attend funerals, as funerals could really get into the women nerves and get them depressed. so generally, women are not encouraged to attend funerals, and mostly the close relatives who will mourn in their own home, however, if the deceased is a woman, big possibility there will be another venue for women to attend, that will be told in the funeral announcements...and when attend the funeral, it's always a home, where you are expected to sit down, listen to Quran verses, or some families will will be reading it and taking turns in reading it. Nothing will be served unless water and black - no sugar - arabic or turkish coffee. dress code is black and no make up or perfume at all, and the black should be decent and not showing much of your body. other wise you can always send a your condolences in a telegraph .... this should give you an idea about what to expect. Last thing: women are not allowed to go to the graveyards, the only case a woman go to a graveyard is she is dead and going to be buried. the funeral always take place after the funeral prayer and the burial. in GCC countries there is no coffin/ casket and it's only shrouds...white for me and could be coloured for women but generally they don't do it...and burial is done in unmarked place, so it will be difficult to tell where exactly this person will buried with.

Has anyone heard of this old wives tale? Hubbys family are full of them. My MIL (bless her, gone now) was adamant that you should never eat yoghurt with fish. Recently I asked my BIL why this is, and he said that mixing milk/yogurt with fish causes skin to have white patches, something akin to vitiligo. He swears he's seen cases on the streets, and has been told by doctors the same. I laughed at it tbh as I have heard of fish in creamy sauces and my Gran ate fish with milk when she got old, and, but they are adamant in hubbys family that the two should never be mixed. I had a quick google and in this part of the world some do believe it. Has anyone heard of this? Wonder where it originated from and if there is an element of truth somewhere. edited by Alismum on 17/02/2013 LOL That remind me of north african old wives tale, it goes this way: If you drink milk or eat yoghurt, and eat fish on Tuesday, then you will get crazy/ loos your mind and they will put you in the mad house!!!!

OP, Tell your friends to work her plan: 1. Get power of attorney or something like that regarding paying the DEWA bill, the rent and the furniture in her apartment to a trusted friend who will accept to take care of her apartment while she is in UK. 2. get ASAP out of here to UK 3. wait over there - in UK - hence she is on visit visa and maybe it's temp job or not yet finished the formalities of the new work visa, and do all the paper work after giving birth to her baby. 4. This will be the hard bit: leave her child behind in UK, then she comeback to here to see if she can get another work/ or if things fall apart, then she must finish all her attachments and paperwork to go back to UK. 5. IF she managed to get a job over here in UAE, then she can start asking/ getting info regard bringing her baby over here.. Good Luck.

I can't believe this maid!!!! On Thursday she called DH and sobbed for him to lift the ban for life time she got, I did tell you that she got the amnesty, and only Thursday she received the life time ban.. She kept asking DH to remove this ban, by sending a paper says she is a good person!!!! DH did not place the ban, it's the immigration ban, not employment ban, she still not believing this.... when she called on thursday, she called from a total strange number, after DH hang up, someone sms from that number begging to remove the ban. Then on Friday, her niece - whom in Perth, Aus. - sms DH telling us we will get what we deserve, because we are bad people! Now we got this SMS, please read throw, and give me your advices, and please do not Quote me at all..... ---- deleted ----- You can see I did copy past that sms, just removed DH name. I did called a lower, and he told me there is nothing she can do - the maid - and this is all just a shake up to do what she wants......however it's immigration ban not employment ban. edited by Gorobattie on 03/02/2013 edited by Gorobattie on 03/02/2013 <em>edited by Gorobattie on 04/02/2013</em>

Alright! Managed to track down the teacher, and find her in a school in Fujierah(spl?) I did ask to talk with the head teacher - by the way is the principle as well - and no I got only stuck with a receptionist, as she says everything must go throw the principle.....no school secretary - she called sick - and since morning the principle is in meeting! the receptionist did get my contact and passed it throw to that principle...however I did not hear a thing from them.....last call to themI have been told to call on Sunday!!! I feel that I did my bit, however it seems that there is no consideration for what I said....so I do stress that you ladies need to talk with your schools about this, and what is the teachers plans/ intervention to stop strangers from clicking photos of children while being on a school field trips.... I am doing this at the moment.

I don't think teachers should allow strangers to take pupils photos on a field trip. No, no and no again. I'm not that bothered by people taking photos of my children when they are with me but if they ever shy away or feel uncomfortable then I tell the snapper to stop immediately. I'd be absolutely livid if if a teacher ignored my child's discomfort at having their photo taken. And then to encourage it by saying it will make him famous? Like who, Paris Hilton? Great role modelling. Anyone's children been on a trip to the aquarium recently? About what age were the children Goro? The Field trip was yesterday by the way I can't really tell...but they should be little, the FB page owner did not give any specifics, but I feel it was the early ages...something like grade 1 or 2....I really angry on the behalf of the parents of these children, and starting tomorrow morning, I will be on the phone calling every British education school to locate that teacher... I know her name, and she should be appear....if I can name and shame, I do have her photo tho - in her own FB page, not the diaries of an expat teacher page....unfortunately the whole page is in arabic....and It was Dubai aquarium field trip....hence she said she did visit it 4 times, and the children were amazed she knew everything.....I believe they are young children... edited by Gorobattie on 30/01/2013 <em>edited by Gorobattie on 31/01/2013</em>

I thought it was illegal to take photos of people without their knowledge and i wouldnt want a random stranger taking pics of me never mind my children and i am British. What does the nationality of the school have to do with it? I couldnt imagine any teacher regardless of their nationality should allow this. Where is the teacher from? All the teacher had to say is that is illegal in this part of the world to take pics of strangers. It certainly isnt a British thing i can assure you The teacher is egyptian, and her page description, she says she is working as a teacher in a british school in Dubai.... The page is in arabic, and believe it or not, I feel I need to report this teacher to her school....but she did not say which school she teach in.....

To OP..... I understand your concerns about these 2 boys, unless you have something else that you do not want your DS to play with them....otherwise, why not ask your DS himself and know what he really want? I was a lonely child - although had brothers and sisters - but I was lonely, and always wanted to play with other children......my parents did not allow me to play, as I was expected to do house chores; dishwashing, cleaning, doing loads of clothes washing and airing them and ironing......I have a long list... All the children around me were younger a year or 2, or they are just teens, like 14 and 15....so I was supposed to stay at home and clean. these 2 boys are keen to play with your son, if your take on these 2 boys they are most of the time alone....well.....this look like segregation for me. However if you know there are something totally wrong with these 2 boys...then I do stand by you, do not make these boys get in touch with your DS. If there is nothing, why don't you try to have a play time with supervision from your side, to determine if this friendship is right or wrong....but after consulting with your DS if he likes to play with them or not.

Freaking92, I know exactly what you say, I had been in your shoes and know how it feels. All I can tell you is getting a good and well paying job is all what you need, keep looking for a job that fit with your qualifications, and save money as much as you can, as life is not life when you are treated this way.....I was 24 years old when I managed to get the heck out of my family home, only because I was shifting to Dubai, believe it or not, getting a job far away from your family - not in the same country I mean - as I was working since I was 19, and nothing changed, only things changed when I managed to get me a job in another country.... I have no wise words to give you, but I do understand the old fashion family that will just squash all you hopes and your dreams, and if I stayed more in my family house, I would be a shell of me ...as this was killing my soul slowly.... Good Luck and take care.

It sounds like they are trying to intimidate you. Totally not acceptable. If they turn up again don't mess around, call the police. I just finished a phone call with the police, I had been told that if she took the amnesty she can not show her face to me or anybody of my family, and should call the police for her - I did ask DH to call the police but he didn't - and if she or anybody oh her friends do come to our place we should call the police. I should now feel better, I did everything as per the law, and she have no more business with us anymore....

They just left now....the woman who showed up with the maid was very agitated and wanted to have a go on me, I told her to stand down as I do not know her, and if she wants to talk with her friend - the maid - she do it in her own time. in the first they parked their car just out of our garage, which is Not part of the street, and is part of our house, then I told them to get out of my property and go to the street, after this biatch - the friend and she dressed like a street walker by the way -shouting I told her you are blocking my garage and I will call the police for that... then the dude started his car and moved it to the street.... Now they are gone.

Check for insulated houses, [b'>as in winter it can be miserable over there[/b'>, and you could get a very high electricity bill due to lack of good insolation... Ain't that the truth Goro, my first student flat (Brockworth Place no less) I had ice on the [b'>inside[/b'> of my bedroom window in winter.... Tell me about it... It was miserable for me too...I was using oil heater to heat my children room, as it was in the side of the house that the sun do not reach!!!! on some times, I had to have shower to feel warm, but couldn't do this to my children....oh yeah, winter in Christchurch is very miserable....

We did live in Chch, in area named Burnside, this area was near Fendalton...it's nice area by the way but really expensive....as you pay rents by weeks, and you present the rent cheque on 17th of every month. Regard the statement of no pets, we did have this with [u'>www.harcourts.co.nz[/u'> and when we did have a chat with LL they said they have no problem with pets at all, and the no pets allowed is a standard thing given by all property management companies over there... You can try this [url=http://www.trademe.co.nz'>link[/url'> as in this one you can get some property by the LL themselves. Water and power - electricity - over their are private companies, so you need to go shopping for a good scheme...landline telephone companies as well private companies. you need to see the home you are going to rent, as most of the renovated houses have (heat pump) which is the ac that can blow hot air in the winter. Check for insulated houses, as in winter it can be miserable over there, and you could get a very high electricity bill due to lack of good insolation....if you managed to get a house that have wood fireplace, it will help you to cut down the power bill. cars are all over the place, you can buy good second hand Japanese imported cars, but get the fuel economic cars..... fuel over there is expensive and grocery shops gives you slip of reduced 4 cents of your next fuel purchasing.... like new world supermarkets and count down... You always can count of Pack 'n' Save for cheap groceries, and http://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/red/is good for anything you buy to your home like beddings....and so on... As well you have http://www.briscoes.co.nz stay away from Linwood area.. as some gangs do live there... sumner is very expensive to live there....Avonhead is nice to live there, but recently the rents went up there, as most of the Chinese and Koreans do like living there - as they enrol their children in the schools - so it's purely for education purposes then go back to their countries..... HTH ETA: I knew people who lived in Timaru and Ashburton ...yes it is out of Chch, but the commute is between 30 to 40 min with car... the people who lived there said it was nice and cheap...but I don't know for real for myself... Good Luck with your move. edited by Gorobattie on 23/01/2013 edited by Gorobattie on 23/01/2013 <em>edited by Gorobattie on 23/01/2013</em>

Hi there, This may seem like a stupid question but here goes. I go back to work in January (which should be a whole other post) and ODD will go to nursery starting in May. We have a nanny currently for her and our 7 month old. DH and I figure we can drop ODD at nursery on our way out, but how to get her home? It is very close, but too far to walk. It is Kidville, so no busses. (The idea of a 3 yo on a bus terrifies me anyway). As far as I can tell, nanny and YDD will have to go fetch her in a taxi. Does this seem weird? Any thoughts greatly appreciated! I have been hunting for a nursery for my 3 yr old DD in Al Safa/Jumeriah. We couldn't nail down on any one since either they are too expensive or they do not provide transportation. My office is weird about keeping the timing at work, so don't know how i will be able to drop DD off at least one way to save cost on the fees :(. Sorry i don't think this answer your question. veenz, would you please give me the list of the nurseries you contacted that have transportation - even the expansive ones - in safa jumierah? thank you G

That will be my last post in that matter: OP, you already know what you are doing, you do not need to tell the other woman about it, you do not need her to know he is married or not, your problem is with him NOT her!! Let her face what she implicated herself in, she is adult and not a little teen! Stick to your plan, and forget about your feeling toward the whole thing, he took his decision when he had out of marriage affair, and now it's your time to take the right decision to protect yourself and your children from this miserable life. Your children do not need to live in a family like that; staying with a man like that is miserable, your will be miserable, and keep bottling things up, this will reflect on your family life, the children will suffer in this fake family life, you can live another couple of years like that, then after that you will suffer headaches and keep taking painkillers then... you will have another physical problems coming from that affairs... Believe it or not, even if he stopped seeing this woman, he already opened the infidelity door, he will keep knowing women all the time.....it's a behaviour not a one time mistake. you need to move on in your life, you don't need such a man like that in your life, and your children as well. you will leave this miserable life for your sake and your children. Please no body quote me....as I feel i will delete this after 10 min.... edited by Gorobattie on 21/01/2013 <em>edited by Gorobattie on 21/01/2013</em>

What a sticky situation you both are in! I don't know how to survive this, but I have only thing to say: as much as you can pay your depts. Liquidate your assets: gold, furniture, cars, motorcycle...anything you can sell and get cash for it. you can get scooter to go to work, start cooking and freezing meals for the week, no going out for dinning, cancel your tv subscriptions, sell the tv as well...there are million ways you can do to live on budget, so you can pay the cc and the loan.... it will take you sometime to get over this, if you have the option to work overtime and be paid for; do it. I assume you have no children, if you have children, may I say send them back to your home country to live with your parents or your partner, saving the cash you pay for schooling will help, plus the children do not need to see all these cuts on spendings.....when grocery shopping: have a list of what you will cook, and buy the offers....cut down the boos, sell every thing you can live without. Good Luck

SoyLatte, That's why you need to record everything on him, make copies of the evidences you find, every conversation you need to record it....even when you go home and make the sitting down to break the news for him, you need to record that as well. protect yourself and your children from this man who forgot what is his responsibilities.... You know your husband, so based on your knowledge, you know better what you can do....if he started his shenanigans, then tell him you have evidences on him, and he is caught red handed..... tell him he must go under your terms, so he can have visitation rights, and he must pay his child support ...that's all what you want from him, let him face what he throw into the wind with his own will.

What do you want to do? If you want to go home, then plan your act and act your plan. if this is the time that was the time to discuss it, then action your plan, and NO, do not tell him that you know, and you won't gain anything if you told the other woman that he is married. Affair or not, work your original plan, if you managed since Sep to hide all your emotions....I believe you can hide it another 2 months to finish this...make him ship your stuff back home, make him do everything as the original plan....and get every penny you can get from him starting Sep2012. You already done the hard job, keep up the appearance and move on....you can't bake your cake and eat it as well.... you have something more important to focus on: your rights and your children. Don't look back, and don't say I want the other woman to know that he is married...do you think that will make a difference? supposedly she knew and left him, your husband already opened a closed door: infidelity. So move on. Good luck, and stay calm....revenge is a meal best served cool.

I believe your mum did tell him/ done something that infuriated him toward the whole thing....he is already not sure about being a father in the first place. He is desperate and need help....going from country to another is a scream he is constantly running from something... This is a sticky situation... you need to bring up this to the counsellor, as the counsellor do need to see. I don't know what shall I say or tell you, but only try to calm him down, and try to go out with him as man and woman.... HTH

1 I believe, we lived in a 3 bed and got 2 spaces Oh no, do you know if they have assigned designated parking spaces there yet? I know when I used to visit you could park wherever you liked. Many years ago, DH and me lived in a 2 bedroom apt, we did have this problem, he had his car in the one car park, and I did put an effort to know that I can rent another carpark....in that time it did cost me 3K a year. TBH, this was 2007 Ask the LL if they have this facility - renting extra carpark - then ask about how much.
