Copied from http://www.skywards.com/earning_miles.aspx?SkinID=1 Can my family members help me earn Miles? If you have family members who travel infrequently, then our Family Bonus programme is ideal. Nominate up to eight family members and whenever they fly you will earn 20% of the Miles.

I called Skywards 2 days ago and was told that miles are not transferrable even between family members. My DH has some that are expiring and wanted to transfer them to me and we were told no transferring. You may need to start a family membership but I think you may get less miles. A chap spoke on the radio some months back saying it was changing.

I'm sorry to say this but I'm glad you're not my friend - my personal tragedy would be my own and I certainly wouldn't want it to be broadcast over a forum by a third party. I'm very sorry for your friend's loss but I really don't think this will help her in any way, certainly not if she reads this forum. The world would be a far better place if people cared more for others. The poster appears genuine in wanting to help someone and discreet enough not to give any information away to the general public. Privacy is crucial and that has remained in the posting. I would be grateful to have a friend like her .

I think you may mean Shoes if you are referring to Uk,I am aware some people refer to some types of shoes as slippers. Slippers I did not think come in widths, unless a particular expensive brand makes them. Maybe use crocs as household slippers or something similar, carrefour have cheaper versions.

Tallyscot, If you scroll down this thread, you will see who I recommend. I was a patient of Dr. Al Marashi for a couple of years, but have been exclusively seeing Dr. El Tayeb for the past 4 years or so. Nothing "wrong" with Dr. Al Marashi, but personally I prefer Dr. El Tayeb. In my experience, he is very knowledgeable, diligent, and extremely caring. Choosing physicians for a chronic illness is not an easy decision, and it is also very personal (i.e. two people might have very different views of one doctor). Why not read through all the threads here again, and short-list 2 you feel might work for you. Go see both (and you can be upfront saying you are seeking a second opinion), then you can always decide which doctor you feel more comfortable with. HTH Excellent advice . we can have an off day and so can doctors.

I witness TWO of the maids out vacuuming the drive ways in AR this past week while I was walking my dogs - in fact I made one of the dogs stop and sniff so that I could watch for a few minutes! Of course Betz, That is what vacuum cleaners are for to take up the dust and dirt. Why do something with a brush that is labour intensive when one has a vacuum cleaner in modern era.

Tallyscot, If you are in an emergency situation you should not need to wait until june. I have replied to your other thread but if you want to follow this chap. Contact the clinic when you are calm or get someone else to do it for you and explain the emergency so you can get the meds you nedd if they are the same and do not need adjusting. How much medication supply do you have ? Is there someone who can get some for you at home and bring it until you see him in June ? Do you know if the same brand is available here if not it may need to be changed. I know it is difficult but try and take a step back and see how you can get around this as I am sure you are under alot of pressure and worry. If you are getting upset trying to deal with it ask a friend or someone you have met who may be able to help you. Let us know how things go, medical issues are a big concern.

Tallyscot I would contact Dr Fatma Al Marashi, her name has been mentioned in previous postings. She has a very good reputation here and is interested in her patients. She treats many locals so may not be as well known with some expats, so do not let that put you off. Phone number 04 429 7777 in Health Care city. Good luck

Good luck ! Directions to JAPS from Arabian Ranches.motor city. the Villa's . Take emirates road towards Abu Dhabi At a major very very large round ( referred to as Green community roundabout by some people ) about est 10 mins from A R vere off to the right towards Jebel ali/ ibn batta mall. Take the next right which curves onto sheikh zayed road driving towards Dubai and take the slip road on the right toward IBn batta mall. At top of slip road go right and at next roundabout take a right and JAPS is about 3 mins up the orad on the right handside.

You do have to wonder about the people who would design such things for little girls. I mean what goes through their head, to even think that's acceptable? One does wonder about ethic's how many designers are " Green " but yet may design in appropriate clothing for under 16 year olds, if it was not available so many problems would not arise for parents and teens.

Thank you for pointing this out , I will clarify myself. I agree with the point " it's the s3xualisation of the minds of the adults who look at them and associate these things with being 's3xy' rather than 'cute'. " Adults minds are not always healthy, but sxxy clothes on children to look like their mother is certainly not cute. AmyAus82 Agree with you ! WaxMuch, I think the point you're trying to make is that it's not the s3xualisation of children - it's the s3xualisation of the minds of the adults who look at them and associate these things with being 's3xy' rather than 'cute'. Once little girls would dress as their mums and it was cute. Now they say 'it's s3xy', when the word s3xy' should never be used to describe a child but because we have access to the media these days we've become aware, like no generation before, of how many sickos there are who do associate that word with a child whereas before no one knew. You agree with what amy aus is saying Jewels, (that the sexualization of small children is in the eye of the veiwer, not the child) and yet openly opine that nipples on toddlers and small children are inappropriate? is it just me who can't get my head round the logic in that?

You may have grown up in a closed gated community . erm so it's ok for the boys to run around as children without tops on then? See you're already s.e.xualizing girls from a young age by stating such things. And sorry but that is wrong, you've already taken away the innocence and imprinted adult attributes to them by saying that. I grew up in Saudi as a child and ran around in the buff the majority of the time, no issues. edited by Chocs01 on 27/03/2011

Arohadbxd, What age is your daughter ? Girls can start to develope at 7 years old and living in the Middle East it is not appropriate in public to have children even young children/toddlers going around at public pools etc with nothing covering their nipples. You must come from a different culture and not realise what is appropriate living in U A E. <em>edited by jewelsmiddle on 27/03/2011</em>

I don't like it either. DD who's 12 needed a new bikini and all the ones that fit her I don't like. They are the same shape top as in the article and think the bottoms are too 'brief'. What happened to just being a kid? I didnt want a bikini till I was 17. I just feel like this stuff also feeds men's minds-even ones that are not pedophiles-that these girls are grown up. I have seen some 12 year olds look like 20 year old women. And it makes me sad that the girls are being taught to equate their self worth with how attractive they are to boys. And then some women tell me, its a different generation, blah blah, I disagree though. Is it any wonder why men in countries who do not get to see their wifes look as us and our children in a manner which is not very nice.

Agree with you NYCdoll, these padding items such as bra's have been around for children for some time as are many many clothes reflecting adult clothing. Thanks goes to these famous movie stars , music stars and footballers/sports stars and who ever else set such a bad example and people allow their children to follow it. I know you cannot stop everything but some things are not healthy such as young *** symbols,inappropiate clothing, drugs, alcohol seen as acceptable at a young age. We need better role models,with grace and dignity . Children are being treated as mini adults for a long time now and many people see no problem with it and difficult for parents as not enough parents will stand up and say NO so the trend becomes exceptable.

Why is it an eye opener ? This is a new country and takes time to get good regulation in place. Other countries have had longer to do so and they still screw up ! Sounds like peoples expectations are too high and forget where they are living. NYCdoll - thanks for the expose! - the complacency and lack of regulation is eye opening. I guess the more we all complain to the offending sellers the better chances we have of food safety.

"Illusion" very important point. I think you have got it, " What is it about mothers is it a generational thing" Yes you may have a valid point there, it was excepted in family life one would miscarry one if not two children and babies were born dead and burried, it was a fact of life and not questioned . Today people question alot more which is good but maybe sometimes we need to accept some things as part of life but in todays world we find it alot harder to do that and we strive for better and better and perfection. Not everything from years gone by is a waste and maybe we need the older age groups to help re educate younger age groups to cope with Life. My grandmother was one of 13 children in the late 1880's, and yes, it was accepted that one or two infants would die along the way, as a kind of "natural wastage". My mother was one of three girls born in the 1920's, but I know two boys died along the way - they weren't talked about, but I know Grandma suffered emotionally because of this. However, nowadays, mostly, women are no longer pregnant once a year throughout their child-bearing years, nor do many women die at the age of 30, either in child-birth or as the result of complications from too many pregnancies. Nowadays, the nuclear family is expected to be much smaller, and medical capacity is much better, so I really don't think you can apply the same values today as were applicable even 50 years ago, let alone at the turn of the last century. It may well be something to do with the difference in generations, but since we women nowadays have the illusion of being able to control our bodies and when we get pregnant, our expectations are automatically going to be quite different, even from those of our mothers.

Oh you poor girl forever 21 , I understand you being speechless but may I give you a bit of advice, having gone through something similar but not the same and told by relatives to get on with it, I found it very hard as thought they didn't see how painful things were but was told be grateful . Took along time to get over the comments years. Don't hold it against her, I am sure she is trying to help you and get you on your feet and may not be the way many would think it should be done. I bet her heart is broken seeing you suffer. Yes it is generational and maturity. Older generation are tougher on things and they say younger people ( I am not referring to you ) are not good at coping as they have had it too easy generally in the western world. People under 35 in many European and USA countries have not had it as tough and coping well with life , one may disagree with this but it is a fact. Do what you think you should and it is okay for you if you find after a time you need to alter, then do. I sincerely wish you well. [ Finally told my mum about the job offer and ...WOW.......the whole generation gap thing is for real! All she could say when I told her abt the job was ...who's gonna look after my 5yr old DD....:\: When I finally asked her if that's all she can think about considering where I'll be working and what I went through she just told me that I must just look the other way and forget.....people loose loved ones whom they have lived with in the same house...that dont mean that they should move out...they just forget and they move on!!!!

Put your 4 year old in a bedroom to play , the 2 year old needs watching so keep him/her with you. Have been pulling my 4 and 2 year olds apart all morning as they've been squabbling. It does drive you nuts. DD (4) is at the age when she is very bossy of her little brother and tries to tell him off if he does something he shouldn't, which winds him up. He now is lashing out in retaliation which always ends in tears on both sides and sometime me through frustration. They do play nicely together say 50-60% of the time. I think it's their age. DS is now coming into his own personality and I think DD is finding that difficult as she's been used a baby and now there's this little boy saying 'no' and trying to pull her hair when she gets cross with him. I suppose it's typical sibling rivalry. There is almost 6 years between my brother and I and we were just the same! Love each other to bits now.

Interesting read , as many familes have had children share rooms in days gone by, having your own room is something small families may have done in the past 40- 50 year in some countries. Many would have even thought they could have a bedroom of their own and had to learn to share and live with one another. Why do so many people when they get older fall out with siblings ? So many people say they have fallen out with their only brother or sister as familes get smaller and smaller over time and usually about money or belongings of their parents. Agree children may need to do different activities and having read a thread weeks ago about birthday parties, don't take your younger one to the older ones friends parties as that will def cause problems and resentment at some point and children do not learn to survive without their sibling. sounds like me and my sister when we were little ... to be honest, unless my parent really missed something, the solution is to wait until they get 25+ and start truly love and help eachother... i always blamed it on not having separate room from my sister. so maybe have them to attend separate activities and get separate friends, if they still fight when at school age.

I think the first half of your question may be the reason we have less shelf live in the middle east and developing countries when products are shipped from 1st world countries and large companies can make more money. I recall this happening with non food products with a large US corporation many years ago, dumping as it was called by sales marketing people their product in 3rd world countries because it could be sold and 1 st world countries would not accept it. Higher quality was being sold in 1st world and deteriorated ones sent elsewhere. So the question is, do they come from the states after they've sat on a shelf for a year or two, or do they change the use-by date here so you have to use it more quickly or throw it out? And, fyi, I've found canned things in both Ch--thr-ms and Lulu's being sold passed their use-by date. Ch--thr-ms is particularly bad with selling baby food on or passed the use-by date.

Another scary thing to be aware of is large companies and countries governments have brain washed us all into thinking if it past the sell by date it is not fit for human consumption and this is not necessarily the case. Governments need and have needed to educate us all in many things but remember they do not always tell us the whole story. Remember it all to do with money . The quality of food here really is a disgrace. I have to tell you something, and it is frightening, but many shops, and restaurants as well, small ones especially, turn of their fridges at night as a way to save electricity. They figure as long as the firdge stays closed its ok..ugh...they do this even in the summer-and sadly a lot of times that when we see a spike in food poisoning cases. And don't get me started on changing sell by dates...One of my relatives owns a shipping company that often ships foods to the ME. Food that is often labled unfit for human consumption-but by US law it can be bought and sold to be used in pet food only. But thats not what happens. I[b'>t gets shipped here-with expired dates-by a lot of local food dealers and redated. There are certain foods here that I avoid[/b'>. Can you explain further - what type of foods does this apply to - what do you avoid because of your inside knowledge? edited by Pomegranate on 26/03/2011 Hi, in general avoid prepackaged cold cuts-like the deli select ones, packaged sausages, hotdogs (especially these as they get redyed to look like they should), chicken liver. As a general rule, try to avoid anything from Western countries that is a prepackaged meat that has preservatives to give it a longer shelf life-as eventually they do expire, but the date on them get changed. If you buy cold cuts, from the deli counter, look at the meat closely, if it has any irredesant color to it, avoid it. These cold cuts should also be eaten with 3-4 maybe 5 days tops-and thats pushing it. In the states, they last a week, but not here. Thanks for your reply NYC Doll, luckily I'm not a cold cuts/pre-packaged meats kind of person and would never buy this stuff...but none the less, this is scary information.

Why is it too hot ? What about air conditioning ? Why are you asking a vicar if you are not religious ? My husband and I want to renew our wedding vows on my birthday, the vicar we have been put in contact with is from Jebel Ali and will only do the ceremony at 4pm which is too early for us due to the heat. Does anyone know of anyone who could do it? We are not religious it's more symbolic to us......
