Hubby has 7 brothers, 1 sister, 3 half-brothers and 2 half-sisters. Its such a mixed up family. And now his father (73 years old) is on wife #3 who is 36 and we may end up with more half-siblings.... :scared:
Well, who knows how many I would have had, had my father-in-law not decided to leave this planet 20 years ago. It got all a bit too much to handle for him. God bless him. (Actually, it was the connection to the Shah that shortened his life) :scared:

I know what you mean, one of my husband's uncles was "rubbed out" when that all went down as well, and another is living incognito in the U.S. Scary bunch of people!

WTF is going on with her Jools. How can she do this so publicly? Doesn't she realize she's just shit in her own bed? I'd take her down big time if I were you. What has she got against you?

I just posted on both your and Novi's threads, BTW.

Thanks Tami I appreciate it but I also understand others who wish not to get involved...yeah I have just emailed her and read the riot act, she has certainly shit in her own bed bless

She got upset because she emailed me a few weeks back saying that she had some dirt that she could dish on JESS...from the past. I told her basically to poke it, the past is the past and I wasn't interested please run your website a bit more professionally.....I guess she didn't like it

Why does she think you'd care if she has dirt to dish on JESS? Even if you have your kids at the school, what does that have to do with you personally and didn't you say she has a little one there too? I'm sorry, I guess I'm confused. But for her to use her power as a mod or site owner or whatever the hell she is, is just WRONG and I would hope Jane or whoever actually owns the site would let her know how inappropriate that is AND fire her ass right out the door!

I have to go in search for my lost children. This evening got me so excited about all our hot topics that I forgot about them completely. They had their dinner and very easily convinced me to go and play outside 'just for a little while'. It's gone pass 8pm and they are not back home yet. :scared: I should be reading them a story by now. I hope they haven't ripped out all the beautiful Emaar landscaping by now and filled the swimminpool with sand and chairs. No, my little angels wouldn't do that?! It's always someone elses brats who do it.

Well, out of experience, never say never, and I cannot repeat it more often. Anything can happen if you don't keep a close eye on things. So, I'll better be off and shout out my voice from the 6th floor to get their buts home quickly or else...

I am sure everyone in The Greens will hear me, except my two. Watch out, you might just get an echo in the Emirates Hills area too. :scared:

Carry on having fun without me, I shall do my best to be back!

Yes, I did, Face. Thank you. And Dr. F. has it in his hotmail box as we speak. I've been busy trying to keep your future bride safe, as Frans suggested she visit a disco while in Amsterdam this week! I said no, Face wouldn't appreciate that! LOL.

Bloody construction noise and SZR road, they just can't hear me! Or are they just ignoring me? In the end, I wasn't even sure if they were my kids, as you said, too dark! Two boys playing basketball in a pretty professional way, so no way one of them would be mine. Called one of my dear Iranian neighbours to see if they had slipped through her door but she confirmed they were still outside and it was our boys indeed practising their skills and she would send them home for me. Ah, neighbours, bless, what would we do without them!

Hey Face, it's still 24 degrees outside, I have thermometers placed inside and outside and monitor them daily. We are not doing too bad over here and it isn't wet either. Fantastic!

We also got Emaar security guys lurking around, so pretty save for the kids, if you ask me. Just saw the police patroling the area too. A police car (note, not security) stopped one time when I was trying to kick in the door because the bloody code had changed and I didn't have my access card on me to get home. That was a bit embarrassing. Turned out I could talk to him in Farsi, since I don't speak Arabic and his English didn't seem to stretch too far. He then kindly offered to find someone for me to let me in. I just love the police over here, they have always been so nice to me and I never had to make myself look pretty.
