That Is Life

    • I felt bored yesterday, and no one at home of my elder brothers and sisters to take me out. I wanted to go out, I managed to sneak and headed to the hospital. I thought I see the lab this time. I sat there and I overheard this conversation between to mid age men

      How is your blood suger? the one said, mmmmmmm is a bit high but when I go abroad it falls down.........I do not eat so much sweets then, and seldom I get angry and nervous


      I thought to myself, why, and what makes us say that?, why do we eat so much sweets, and what really angers us amd makes us nervous so our blood sugar levels go up in Oman and down elsewhere according to that man

      I learnt something in my day out at the hospital, Sugar, or diabetes rather is a deadly thing if not understood and not accounted for, and can be easy if dealth with right

      Valuable lesson indeed
      It is apparently concluded that the poor man eats sweets when he is in Oman to calm down his anger and stress
      and therefore the diabetes

      Going abroad, releives the anger and stress, and, so, eliminates the need for sweets, so blood-sugar goes down

      Conclusion: living in Oman causes diabetes. ~!@@ad !!i

      No, No, No, you have got me wrong. I have nothing wrong with me, I am perfectly fit, and I meant something by how smart our doctors are
      :020106_em

      And for your info, when I am sick I do not go to the doctors, I go to the chemist instead
      :)


      I never go to the hospital or chemist, because i dont want my body to get used to taking a lot of medicine and chemicals.. always go for the homemade medicine :P

      Mrs Unfaithful, it's strange what you said because the opposite happened to me. I had someone to stop me eating chocolates and sweets, but here no one to help me out and i cant really stop myself, it's very hard.. i guess i'll get diabetes here in australia :P

      Patriots, please, i am joking



      I heard tha man saying, no really, but added that diabetes is a little high among Omanis, so joking or not , it is a fact Mrs


      i guess i'll get diabetes here in australia

      Sure NaWarr, and with honour I believe
      :P

      always go for the homemade medicine

      I do NaWaR, I usually giveenough time for my body immunity to defend, but I sometimes lose the round and clinch to the antibiotics and chemists

      waw... i wonder why??? is it because of Omani Halwa??? ... But you know eating lots of sugar doesnt necessarly cause diabetes... its mostly genes, and life-style ...I wonder what is the reason for diabetes to be high among Omanis??s ~!@q


      By the way,,
      What are homemade medicines????? i am curious to know

    • But you know eating lots of sugar doesnt necessarly cause diabetes... its mostly genes, and life-style ...I wonder what is the reason for diabetes to be high among Omanis??s

      Sugar or sweets are not merely the source of diabetes, do not forget that rice and bread are all sugar type and above that....fats....fats....fats, turn into sugar slowly

      So we have dates, halwa, rice, bread and fats fats fats
      :(


      Homemade.....mmmmm, I guess we have to wait for Dr. NaWaR to comment but I can only say Lemon and herbs........boil them and they are homemade
      Not forgetting Honey.........No no no, I am not flirting at all, I mean honey honey mal el bees

      well it depends on what sort of sickness you have and according to that you can determine what is the best medicine to take.. back in the old days there were no chemical medicine used, they were all made of natural stuff.. milk with honey or milk with turmeric is very good if you have cold.. turmeric in general is used in many ways.. there is also cinnamon sticks that can be used in different ways and is used for stomach pain.. there are other things that i can't recall at the moment, but thats what i meant by the medicine that can be made at home.. you dont need to run to the doctor every time you feel sick.. try to find the medicine at your home.. thats what my mother always used to tell me back in the dark ages

      LooL

      I know what you meant

      Thats why i am glad there is someone to stop u in Oman

      Because if there was no one to stop you

      Then you will consume TRIPLE what you consume in Australia

      because in Oman you'll have other factors that will trigger the Sugar cravings

    • I am really scared and frightened, NO, it is my father rather, scared to drive on the roads, roads have become killers, where no pain killer nor home made medicines could be a cure

      I heard my father saying that, though I really sit in the back seat where it is prohibited for those at my age to sit in the front one, and my father is one of those who stick to the rules

      I too got scared, sitting in the back seat and still the sounds made by those vehicles on both sides passing us with a very very high speed, scared by these cars overtaking us out of a sudden, scared by those who know nothing about giving priority

      Scared from those who do not know that driving on the roads is covered by a law, scared by those who do not know that driving on the roads is covered by a law

      A law that got to be respected, a law put down to protect others rights and lives

      I swear I am getting scared to what I see from back seat

    • thank you for the funny stories which really made me laugh heartly. here is one of mines that i cant help forgetting it for the unluckiness that accopanied me in that day.
      i was in the second secondary school and it was the end of the year, so we were having exams. as usual my mother woke me up at 5 in the morning but sleeping in that day was irressitable so she come maybe 3 or 4 times to wake until she was sure that i am awake. unfortunately, my mother went to the hospital and i went to my bed again. at 8:30 my little sister came rushingly saying that a call came from the school asking about me when i looked at my watch i found that half an hour have passed, so i took a shower and i was sure that i would have the exame. then the principle came to my home(he is one of our acquaintance) and picked me up and made me hate myself by his blaming. it was 30 minutes left when i arrived . i was handed the question paper and i took my seat and my friends in the class were looked at me laughingly. for my surprise the exam was math while i had prepared all the night befor foe history. i was really angry and i shouted but the teacher told me that i should relax and i would do it. so i had my exam in almost 15 minutes anyway and i got one point higher than the failure point, it was goo for me :P

    • Oh الطائر المقهور
      What a story? Wgat a sistuation one can find him/herself on, and how nice when we look back and laugh at moments that made us cry then
      That is life, whatever we do, no way we get hold of it

      I guess your mother was angry then and got a stick ready next time #i , and at the same time what made me laugh most is that you having a shower :P , if it was me I would not even have a wash $$-e , who can miss maths test, sorry, I mean history test

    • Hello all

      Tenderness... what a nice post!!! heaps :)

      One of the things I recall happening to me when I was a little, and still make me laugh to death until now was that I used to have too many boy and girlfriends to play with... I used to think I was always chosen the leader for almost all the games we played because I was the most creative among all at planning and soforth... but it was then after this big incident that I realized it was my cute looks :P ,, as commented by the rest of the gang...

      Two of the girls were too close friends, that no one thought to be able to separate them from one another, fought in front of me when they found out that they both fell in love with the same cute little guy (me $$-e ).. and they had a bet for who will have the courage to come over to me and confess about it... what I remember was noticing a little gift and a letter on the hand of each... but at the end got none of the gifts until I turned 19 ~!@n

      When I and the rest tried to separate the little hands from pulling one another's hair I found myself put in the middle and asked which one I would pick to be my girlfried as a sweet heart...

      I stood puzzled for minutes not knowing how to reply... but then I thought of pretending the boss and order to put off the crap or never be around anymore except with guys

      everyone left home at athan al-maghrib with three little guys following me telling me that they realy envied me for that that had happened that day

      I went home and sat so quietly, when mom came over to me asking why I looked so different since I came in. I remeber saying to her: "mom aint I still too young to love?" but instead I got a bursted laughter from her and a yes.. go take you shower now $$t


      I was only 9 $$g

    • LOL amalsami
      I was ready through and wanted to ask how little you were :P , to understand you were 9 then, and I really feel sorry for the girls fighting for you for 10 years that is untill you turned 19

      I had the same story, but I was 7 and she was 6, the only difference was that she never loved me, she said I was too old for her
      ~!@@ad

      Wll amalsami, nice memories and I read them carefully but still wondering what happened next? NO, NO, NO I mean after you took the shower #i i

      Oh well, childhood and its funny moments, I am sure you learn now that love is not easy thing and it is not a matter of picking or choosing, it is when your brain and heart lose control and and you are in a real love that will last forever

      Thank you dear and would glad to hear more moments of joy

      Take care
      10derness

    • Well we are still friends most of the gang.. and the two girls are of my best among all


      They both saved the gifts and the letters until I turned 19 when they decided to hand them to me on my birthday... they agreed on doing it together on that day... and we all took if funnily... and still bring up that moment whenever we sat all together and tried to recall our childhood.... and we just laugh now understanding how inoccent we were

      During the shower, I kept on thinking about it :rolleyes: .. After the shower I still kept on thinking about it :050103thi... I took long thinking about it, because I didn't have a clue on how to deal with those two girls anymore.... until I slowly managed to forget it all..

      Hah.. Man I guess it was a big deal of expereince for a little fellow #i

      Now thanks God it's a beautiful memory we have to share together, we wish we had it video taped back then.. #e

    • Thank you amalsami for sharing what it could be sort of personal memories and I really like to stop at something you said

      we wish we had it video taped back then


      It is really one thing I like to do, to catch them nice moments, untill the moment I was talking to my mother and she said she did not like taking photos or keeping them. I listened to her and asked why, she smiled and said, do you think I will be happy taking a picture when I am young and looking at it when I have changed and have wrinkles all over? Do you think I will happy to see myself that way? I like to live in the present time, what has gone, has gone

      I listened to here and I do not deny it, started to think about it and took it seriously


      What do you think?, it is only a point of view

      Thaks all

    • Ammm

      I wish I had it videotaped to show the two ladies how they looked liked on that mess, because whenever we tried to picture it for them they denied it and thought we went too far with it #i

      well whatever is in the past is past... memories won't bring anything back, But a smile you would need in the world of wrinkles and buzy life is important I guess :)

      We should always try to live life, moment by moment, to it's fullest... instead of wishing to go back to whatever we can't live again

      Thank you so very much dear Tenderness :)

      Sorry I took long to be back again, but I was a bit sick :( ... However being ill lately helped me recall a funny condition I had whilst I was still in the States.

      On the end of fall 2001 I started to catch mild colds that presented as sore throat and else.. so my voice was a bit horse normally... the thing is I have this bad habit of drinking the vinigar of olive :033102hor,; I know!! .. OH I LOVE IT.. and don't know why!!!

      whilst I was doing that I had a sudden cough because of the sore throat #h !

      the next morning my voice had dissappeared completely $$t ... I only realized that when I tried to wake my roommate up for school.. coz I usually just called her....

      I stood with a mixture of feeling, fear worry, funny.. that I might have turned completely mute #k and perhaps will never get my voice back... I stood in my place for about 15 minutes trying to practice speaking out ~!@@ab ... but I failed... I shook my friend waking her up.. and got her staring at me so weirdly :rolleyes: for that it was the first time I did that to her...

      with a look of fearful like kid ~!@n ... I tried to tell her that my voice has dissappeared completely... but she wouldn't belive me, becauze... ah later on...., #b

      After some time that morning she had to belive it... and tried to assess my throat, and temperature...etc

      luckily I had no fever, nothing, except that dead voice that day... so I went to school talking to no one except by writing #e .... well we used to take the train to school... I remeber that the conductor felt sorry for me and took me to a comfortable seat!!! for the first time and didnt check my ticket, when I told him where I was heading to by writing :P

      all my friends pittied me that day but then from the next day onwords they teased me ~!@@ak ... the thing is I took long to recover from that inflammation I had, known as pharengitis, but whenever I get SORE THROAT again my friends reminde me about how funny I seemed and sounded

      Another thing is, my older sister called up from W.DC that day and I asked my friend to just tell her that I was away.. but she had a feeling I wasn't well since she knew I started that colds thing and insisted to speak to me... maaaaan you should have been there to see how my friend fell on the floor loughing :110103_lo to see me struggling to speak on the phone with my sister trying my best to shout and just reassure her that I was fine except for that pharen. thing voicelessly $

      laaa 7athrit-ha my sister, because she was too worried went and rang my parents and asked them to call me up right away... 3aad kimlit hatheek elyom.... same thing happened.. and my friend enjoyed it #e to death ~!@@ad

      I learned an important thing from that incident: " never attempt to drink olive vinigar when you have a sore throat or cough" $$g

      see ya later

    • mmmmmm endurance, and to tell you the truth, when I saw your participation in writing I thought to myself, Oh God, endurance has done it again, had the vinigar again, and again lost her voice :P #i but being a moderator here who knows nothing about the rules had to be reminded that there are no voice participations here and all need to be in writing. It was a relief then to know that you are fine

      Back to yourr "Mute" state, I wonder who pushed the mute button :P i
      Well, I guess it is a terrible situation to be in, waking up with no voice, I would have been thrilled and scared to death as I have seen some cases happening but not losing it complately
      Sure I have heard about losing it completely but who would think and remember things then. Simply one would think, oh that is it

      I guess your sister made it more difficult by asking your family to call you, I believe she put them in a terrible state, and belive knowing that your friend and room mate is laughing to death is a clue of the real situation and you are well

      No doubt your friends liked it then :P giving them some time to relax of you bragging all the time

      I guess one recalls them moments and start to thank and pray for ALLAH again and again

      I am sure you were sorryn that day buying a train ticket knowing that the inspector would not ask for it ~!@@ad , No do not do it, you $$-e never know

      Does your mother really believe in that???s

      Sometimes the past is more beautiful than the present, not physically beautiful but i mean the moments and the days of the past
      as the years pass by.. we loose alot.. and things change.. and its nice to have some memories of some good times and good people that we once had

      Guess what!!!

      I used to think that my parents never had something called childhood, thus I never wondered if they used to do what we did #e

      I was just too inocent :P , not else ~!@@ae

      until I saw thier photos... #j

      tapes and photos of ourselves will prove to our kids that we lived the same thing they are living and maybe that was better ~!@a

      Sorry I am late but I had to see the old wise woman, my mother that is. She read Mrs. Words and said, listen son, referring to me, the past is something and photos is another. The past has never been photo dependent, and memories are usually told. History books have no photos but tell all, bitter and sweet. Things I taught you have never been captured by a camera, and still you learnt them and I am sure you will pass them on to your children

      Yes, I remember mother telling me about the past, and how she, along my father brought us up, how they lived, what did they have to eat, and, and. I remember how mother used to take me back, years and years back, bringing memories, over a cup of tea, the funny thing was she has never shown me a picture but one, taken on her wedding day, sitting smartly and proudly to the right of her man, my father that is, only to show me, and tell me how they started it all. She asked me to keep the picture and said, I hope you learn what love and devotion can be. Another lesson by the old woman

      Oh well, I have never said the old woman hated pictures or called them a taboo. In fact I have lots of photos, the best one was of me, with a tree, or by a tree rather, I looked smart then, and the tree got huge now. I like pictures to tell you the truth and wonder if we all would, one day, have the same idea when we feel or come to the point we feel it was late for us to look back at the old days and start to think more of the coming ones. I listened to mother then but never was SHOCKED and never found it STRANGE

      She is now sitting next to me, or I am sitting by her rather getting ready to listen to some old memories … with no photos


      10derness

    • lool.. sorry tenderness.. what i said did sound a little rude.. didnt mean that
      what i found strange is the idea of rejecting photos because "whats gone is gone" and because "we're living in the present.. I should have said i find it "different"i

      btw, Why is your mother always next to you when you're online??? its not the first time

      My Grandmother loved taking pictures, whenever she sees anyone in my family holding a camera she'll ask to take a photo of her.. she posed real nice for each picture .. sometimes she'll do her hair real quick and put on some lipstick .. she always had this special photogenic smile and look.. we used to joke and laugh about that so much ..
      well, She died of a heart attack 5 months ago.. and each time I look at the tons of pictures i have of her.. i remember the moment of each .... and they became and will always be so precious as her presence with us once was

      I am not conveying anything,i am realizing and agreeing that different people DO have different ways of capturing memories and reminiscing .. whetever they may be
