I want to celebrate a great actor who succumb to depression. My memories of watching you on TV Mork & Mindy & the endless list of movies and current TV series The Crazy Ones, I will always cherish. Your ability to story tell will never be matched. You will be sadly missed. RIP Couldn't agree more. Mrs Doubtfire still one of my favourite movies and Mork and Mindy as a child

138 aed what type of Botox is he using ? I think that's the cheapest I have ever heard of . It will be one of the cheap, watered down versions as Allergan and Dysport which are the best brands cost more than that to buy from directly from the manufacturer 138 is far too cheap and I would be careful using it

My doctor will be available to deliver at City and since I've heard so many good things about it, I'm seriously considering it. According to her (the doctor) one of the biggest difference at City is that there are midwives and not nurses and on-staff Dr's to care for you through out the delivery. So my big question is....whats the difference between a nurse and a midwife? My previous delivery was at Welcare and while it wasn't so bad, it wasn't great either. Prior to that, I had my other deliveries in the States with nurses who were AMAZING. Just want to know what to expect from City. A midwife is specialized in assisting births and specialized in obstetrics

hmmm. well we sent her home immediately didnt want to do any police case etc. we were just too terrified and the first thing we thought was not to keep her anywhere close to the baby. i wouldnt imagine anyone else to go through the experience. We will be putting the regular UAE ban then, but thinking are there any other forums/places that i should write about her - so that the potential employer can choose to get in touch with us before they plan to recruit. I think you have to be careful here naming and shaming someone as I believe it is against the law. I know you want to protect people but be careful you don't get into trouble for slander

It is never alriht to not pay staff. The MOL is very strict on this.alright to not pay wages. The MOL is very strict on this. We all have our feet on the round here - UAE is not a country you can live in without a salary! Good luck!And I hope you find a new job easily enough - better to leave this company than hanging around hoping it will may change. Yes! Who can afford to work fro free?

Thanks Sarahlou123...... I've heard Karama is also a place worth checking out..... I was told at the weekend ( Earwigging on a conversation in the hairdressers) that there is a shop there selling the clothes from My Celebrity Boutique. All real they are buying them online.

To be honest i would have quit as soon as my salary was late. The only reason i work is for my salary. Yes take him to MOL - its wrong that he thinks that he can pay people late. I agree with Izzy, it will also teach him that he cannot get away with this Has he provided you with a visa and labor card? Hi ladies, Yes I am on the company's visa. in all my 7 years in Dubai, this is the first time I am faced with such unprofessional-ism and a lack of respect for staff. I will definitely take him to court. Good luck, let us know how you get on

I use them for the last one year and have no complaint so far. Delivery takes around 2-3 weeks. Check always the prices I feel they arent always cheap and even sometimes more expensive then here Their shampoos are much cheaper than in the hairdressers here. Do they charge for delivery or duty at customs? Thanks

It's a no brainer! Stay where you are, you would be completely mad to give up what you have and TBH unless your son and DD could get into DC forget it. Stay where you are and just come out during the holidays, do not up route your son in these critical educational years, be the worst mistake you ever make. Agree!

If I am correct this is the link to them http://www.nakheel.com/en/leasing/the-garden-view-villas thank you. are these not the new ones? i thought jevel ali village was close to japs? those ancient villas that were revamped? might be wrong. thanks for posting the link though! JA village is close to JAPS, the garden villas are a different development I think My friend looked at the old ones but there is a waiting list I believe Is that thread up to date as the one beds are so cheap at 42k ( less district cooling) I could afford a 2 bed there! edited by sarahlou123 on 07/08/2014 yeah, that's how i remember it. i wonder how much they are going for. i remember some of them being dilapidated! as an aside: are people still living in the desert springs villas? that place is horrible (especially if you're in the grand millenium hotel looking down onto it!) They are around 120-130 for a 3 bed I think but was told you have to pay for maintenance and district cooling plus there is a huge wait list. I cannot believe DS is there, I didn't think anyone lived there.

This morning, once again i get to our car and there is a huge line down the side - looks like someone keyed the car and this time it was a very deep scratch! Who would do something like this on purpose? What sadistic pleasure do they get out of doing that to someones car? The first time it happened, i thought perhaps someone walked past with their bag and scratched the car by mistake, but then it happened again, and again and again this morning and now I am just fed up! Apparently it has happened to other people's cars in the road as well. Anyone else experience this and what did you do about it? I would have to file a police report now because the car is ridden with scratches and put in an insurance claim - but two minded about this because it will probably happen again and I would be furious (want to use a stronger word but its not allowed on here) if that happens on my freshly sprayed car! Aaarrrgghhhh! It happens a lot here! When I first got my car I parked it in a mall car park so far away from the other cars and when I arrived back from doing my shopping there was an oddly parked car next to me and the owner had her passenger door on mine! I said what are you doing as there was huge scratch where her door had been banged against mine. She wasn't in the least bit bothered at all until I started taking photos, said I would call the Police ( which I did) and she was fined. I gave up getting the dings and scratches out as they would reappear again. People just don't care or are jealous ( If its a nice car)

Where is the best place to buy Redken or other similar products? I use to buy it at a retail store in the US versus paying salon prices. Does a store exist here where I can buy the liter bottles? Thank you for your help! :) I don't think you can get the large bottles here as they are only sold directly to the salons and usually not for retail ( I miss my big bottles of Kerastace) I have seen them in the hairdressers in the Marina Mall but only the small bottles and they will cost more than in the US

I have searched the site looking for recommendations and the main one I kept seeing was Salon Ink. I Reached out to them but they didn't seem welcoming or willing to answer my questions. As a woman with long hair that gets two processes done I want to make sure I get someone who knows what they are doing. Does anyone know someone good with blonde highlights, and all over root coloring in a darker color(low lights)? Scared of getting my hair fried and having to chop it. I am blond and only trust 3 hairdressers here as in the past have had disasters!! Donna at Roots Barsha British lady Ali at Slam Irish Girl Kelly at Salon Ink Aussie Is that Alis from Salon Ink? I also tried to make an appointment at Salon Ink, but they didn't take new clients at the time :-(. Ted Morgan is also good with blondes. Never had any bad experience there. Yes she has gone to Slam :-) I remember years ago there weren't many hairdressers who could deal with blonds. Thank goodness that has changed :-)
