wow! i go out for a few hours and my post goes from 3 pages to 18!!!!

i don't see anything wrong with discussing slightly sexual topics like what i and a few others have said. shame on me. i'm not muslim and i don't claim to be. and i'm certainly not a hypocrite. (although i am assuming most of those comments, if not all, weren't directed at me per-se)

but i must say....if light hearted topics like this offend you then maybe reading/posting on a non-muslim based or non-religious-whatever message board isn't for you!

thanks to babybunny for trying to bring it back on track!!! i wanted the same advice. little cute things to do to make my fiance's arrival more personalized, thoughtful, and comfortable. i like the idea of the basket with snacks, razor, subway pass, pamplets to local attractions, etc. i wrote that one down. also finger foods in bed was cute!

about vanilla: use vanilla powder or vanilla beans in your cooking. you can buy a cheap bottle of vanilla powder at trader joes. you can also buy a vanilla bean, scrape out the beans inside and use them for creme brulee or ice cream (best uses for beans imho), then stick your empty pod inside a jar of sugar and that becomes vanilla sugar over time. you can then use that to make your cakes, cookies, ice creams, etc.

sorry to see this post turned into a disaster.

It can go back on track, sis. The attacks were not about you. Don't worry. This subject will come by again. It's of ongoing interest to many of us.

practical thoughts:

is there a space for his clothes or other belongings. it may be difficult, but will it be possible to have empty drawers and closet space available before he arrives ?

also, is there a place where the suitcase(s) can disappear ... err ... be put away?

it may have been mentioned before, but what about a little spending $$$ or gift cards as part of the basket (placed in envelope or card). this is case he didn't exchange enough at the POE or funds are tied into an account that is not readily available. (call it ... emergency funds .... to be used at your discretion).

just thoughts ... because sometimes the small practical things thought out in advance can help too

It has nothing to do with being muslim or religious, as I am neither. I just find it to be in extremely bad taste and quite frankly, embarrassing. But that is JMHO, of course. People can certainly discuss whatever they'd like to, but as it is a public message board, they should be prepared for negative reaction.

I think the money and gift cards would be a great idea. My husband, i think, might have taken offense at that...(a pride thing) so I'd be careful if taking that route...

Definitely have a dresser and some closet space just for them. They will really appreciate the feeling of acceptance that that gives them. Save space for their shoes too.... OH OH.. and give extra "him" space in the shower. a place where he can have his own wash rag and own soaps. Some people won't use soap if it is used by another person (mine isn't like that but I know of people who are). Mine does like to have an area that he can claim in the shower for all of his "manly" stuff.

i'm not sure how my fiance would feel about me buying him subway cards, giving him spending money, etc. i think i might hold off on that. he says not to bringh him gifts to morocco when i come, but i do (i can't help it. hehe) he always seems a bit overwhelmed.

jenn... i'm not sure what to say because i just don't agree. all of us here come from different backgrounds, different beliefs, and its just not embarrassing for me to post here slightly sexual topics. and i don't feel any of us said anything beyond appropriate. i mean "fill in the blanks" or "shower with him" isn't exactly rated R. haha but my belief is sex is natural, fun, a wonderful part of marriage, and i'm not embarrassed or uptight about talking about it.

but my point is: i'm not here to change anyone's beliefs. you are obviously free to feel what you want and post what you want! .........but if you don't like a subject. you find it in bad taste, or embarrassing..... why not just not post in that topic? why is it always necessary for so many people to put negative comments instead of ignoring a post if they don't like its content?

Well, I generally don't. I was responding to your assertion that people who did not like the subject matter are likely Muslim and/or religious.
