WOW I can't beleive that this has turned into such a bashing. This is suppossed to be fun, not a bashing! Why can't we all just get along?

Sorry i needed to say that.

Because you haz dog in ur sig when EVERYone knowz this be CATZ board!

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

A lot of this stuff could apply to Nepal, especially the bathroom issues, LOL...

I love the Kleenex on the table - in Tibet they use a roll of TP for napkins in restaurants but you don't see it in the bathroom!!!!

Pssst..... Here's a site I built for a friend of mine a couple of years ago. Too bad she didn't keep it up and let the domain name get bought by one of those "search for:" sites.

Beautiful site!!! :thumbs:

I would love to be a birdie foster mom if I could find a program like this in NY. Since my little Senegal passed away 2 years ago I miss having a feathered friend in my life so much but am waiting until Govi gets here and we are settled in our own place - would love to take care of 'foster birds' until then if I had the opportunity.

I totally agree with you Turia! However, I will say this "platy" guy really has no business making assumptions and starting stuff he knows nothing about. After all, the title of this post is "you know you're in a MENA relationship when...."

Ummmmm, I'm not trying to start anything, and I'm not defending Platy because he can stick up for himself, but what he did point out does have some validity around here, you might just not have been around that long to have read it or noticed it yet.

Remember, this might be the MENA forum, but people from allover VJ read this forum because it has been widely known that although the MENA ladies can be super tight, they are also the greatest flame throwers against their own. In essence, people on this board can be their own worst enemies. I'm not saying that it is a bad thing to seek comfort amongst those who might have some experience as to what you're going through. Platy didn't have to make any assumptions, because for so long the ladies in this forum have laid it all on the table and shown their cards to all of VJ. The things he brought up are well known around these parts because women have shared them or taken those characteristics upon themselves. It might not be true for all MENA ladies, but for a few they are. Just pay attention, you'll see. :thumbs:

Please stop the bickering, thanks.

This whole thread was created so that people could make generalizations. Not all generalizations are good.

YES, please stop the bickering. One thing that would be helpful is for everyone to just ignore those who are trying to piss people off. You're just encouraging them.

This thread was created so that we could make each other laugh - about the generalizations.

I'd really prefer only the 'good' generalizations, so that we CAN laugh. I'd be willing to bet that most, if not all, have had more #######/tears/irritation, etc. than we'd like.

I was hoping to spread a little joy.
