Hi Hazyhazard - just want to say that I recently took my ford explorer to Dexol (thanks to advice from Madge Gustard and other ladies on the forum). I ended up paying about 5500. I just got the car back yesterday so its early days but I was impressed with Dexol. They seemed very professional and were very helpful and also fixing lots of cars. When I was at Dexol I met one mechanic/garage owner who sends all his cars with transmission/gear box problems to Dexol to be fixed. The dealer quoted me over 2k just to replace wire on top of transmission plus at least 3K just to open up transmission and said that job could cost up to 20K. Dexol was able to fix wire without replacing. As an aside, according to Dexol transmission problems are common in Dubai because of high temperature; very important to make sure transmission oil changed every 25K. Hi Hope15 ...... Hazyhazard sounds good:) instead of [color=#3333FF'>[i'>[b'>hazyhardie[/b'>[/i'>[/color'> no offense hazyhardie

Mash or whizz them up then freeze them. Eat like ice cream, delish. Add some puréed mango for tropical flavor. Also coconut cream if you aren't counting calories. OR you can use this MASH as bread spread.. but I am always throwing them. my kids even me don't like overripen bananas.

Truthfully I haven't yet had to do this but I assume you need to take the following - Old UAE licence Passport with visa (plus photocopies) ID card and copies 2 x passport photos Money. I don't know if you need to get a new eye test done.........! Good luck and post on here how it went. LOL.... you are right. its not a big deal. I went two years ago to coop near Safa Park. ground floor you have to do the eye check up then upstairs, they will take the fee of license & make a new picture of you. same time they will give you your new license. I am sorry, I forgot the total amount of fee / eye test. HTH

Yes, I think "gathered" would be much better. However, if "cluster" is the target word (homework??), then it would depend whether the word is to be used as a noun (a cluster) or as a verb (to cluster). no Mb it was her class work.

one another sentence, she showed me yesterday "prayer is very critical" she said my teacher told me critical means important, so I used the word critical instead of important. I said yes but with severity, or it could be dangerous, problematic. my English is also not very good but not like her teacher ;)

you are right. I told her cluster is used for things specially like cluster of herbs, cluster of house but you know these arabic medium schools. she wants to use cluster in her sentence & her teacher made this sentence for her (the first sentence)

All this translates to a higher grocery bills for me. Increase in house rent. Soaring Petrol prices (may be). How can I adjust my budget within my same salary? :( Why would gas and grocery prices go up? this is my assumption. Are you still planning to be here in 2020? means? sorry for the lack of knowledge, can you explain to me. yes we will be here.

For me, complete darkness and silence helped. I had to also take medication but even with those, I had to be in a dark room and it had to be completely silent in the house. If my mom was around, she would give me a full body massage and that helped greatly. Me too want darkness and silence when I'am having migraine or sinus attack. for me also DARKNESS is a must. I use axe oil on my forehead and it works great for me.

If that were true, the jails would be filled with men for harassment. It's her word against his, and somehow there will always be a way to blame the woman. I don't believe it's taken any more seriously than drunk driving or any other other serious crime expats are led to believe will land them in prison. Just look at the news. When I was in school I remember papers would regularly publish pictures of men arrested for harassing women; if I remember correctly, it was because of a directive from the very top , however no such pictures are published over last few years which is a bit sad. Probably because there wouldn't be enough space! :)

Perhaps your degeneration is further gone than mine. Ahamdulillah, the Lyrica rally has given me a new life! I also have tried inversion, where you hang upside side for a a minute or so at a time - this relieves all the pressure on your spine and allows it to stretch back out again. Of course, this is not a cure, but is good pain relief. Pain management is essential. Perhaps an increased dose and some physio will help. I am so reluctant to see throw as they always want to cut into you. This scres me too much. It will be my last resort to get disc replacement surgery. I certainly will never get the replacement surgery done here in the UAE. Please let us know what the dr at the Spinal Hospital suggest. I am always interested as I have been told they my condition will continue to worsen. I want to know what is next and how to deal with it. the Spine Hospital at Health city was also recommended to me. I would be interested in knowing which dr you see and what he recommends. Good luck! sure, will let you know. In shaa Allah

P.S if the pain is going down to your leg it's not a good sign. Your nerves are getting pressed. You need to consult a good doc or physio soon. Take care. Yes, the nerve pain in the back and down the leg can be unbearable. That is here the Lyrica comes in. It blocks the nerve pain, and along with a gentle anti inflammatory, allows you function as normal. I have been taking it now for nearly a year and I can say I am a completely news woman, pain free and, at the moment without need of surgery. Back muscle strengthening exercises are essential if you wish to try to manage without surgery in the long run. There are surgery free alternatives - you just need to find the right doctor. I recommend Dr Hakim at Al Noor hospital in Al Ain. He is one of the rare Ortho surgeons who does not push for surgeries, but rather exercise, physio and pain relief regime instead. Good luck sunlight. mrsb. I am using lyrica as well but my leg pain is not allowing me to stand. I am using massage bed also at my friend's house. It gives heat with infra red rays and rollers giving massage on my back. now i started to sleep on the floor. May be it will work ( my mother's opinion). Al Ain is far away for me. now i will change my doctor and have an appointment in spine hospital at dubai health city. Pls pray for me.

thanks a ton ladies, for moral support. I also don't want to go for surgery. RuthM, waist pain started in August and since September it is in my right leg. now I don't have pain in my back. just problem is in my leg. As I am working woman and it is very difficult to move around. I can not concentrate on my work with this pain.

I had to Google this as I have never heard of it Perhaps find out who is the distributor of Johnsons products in the UAE and they may be able to advise. Other than that shop and ship it as I imagine they can send powder to the UAE edited by sarahlou123 on 14/10/2013 thanks Sara, In UAE its ingredient is Talc. some talc may contain asbestos, a substance known to cause cancers in and around the lungs when inhaled. women who apply talcum powder regularly in the genital area have an increased risk of ovarian cancer. I use powder whenever I change my baby's nappy to keep her dry & comfortable.

so our gas burner leaves this black greasy soot on all the pots and pans. Its terrible and awfully hard to scrub it off , not to mention leaves a mess everywhere. has anyone faced the same problem? any solutions please? im desperate ! I was also facing the same problem. you have to adjust the air intake of your burner. it is just beneath the burner. if you can Google, you will find how to do it videos. :)
