What the hell is wrong with you people. You retarded imbeciles. Haven't you made your mind up? Is it some sick game you play? Is it like rolling a dice? "Lets press both buttons today, I feel lucky".<br /><br />Next time I'm going up in a lift and it stops half way because your sorry ass pressed up even though you want to go down and you peer in asking "going down?" Even though the indicator is telling you its going up, I'm going to say yes. and when you get into the lift, it will just be me and you, and believe me, you WILL be going down.giasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846817340446027655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623483294594610881.post-29833837063812548542009-11-14T07:33:11.254-08:002009-11-14T07:33:11.254-08:00@1 Lol, the spitting this is the worst of all.

I love cats. :3<br /><br />@10 There's no way I'd swim in my abaya, I don't want to look like a seal after playing in the water. xD Other than that, women can swim in an all women club. <br />I used to go there last year and it's better to swim wearing what you want instead of embarrassing myself in public.Rinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623483294594610881.post-66094315912499824922009-11-12T12:48:04.716-08:002009-11-12T12:48:04.716-08:00I was appalled at the number of bouncing, unrestra...I was appalled at the number of bouncing, unrestrained children in the back seats of vehicles (when the windows were not tinted that is).<br />I noticed all of what you mentioned except for the guttural noises from the men. <br /><br />But maybe that's because I'm deaf. :Dbeautyalchemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982435510239789202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623483294594610881.post-17330577587668885322009-11-11T04:57:04.889-08:002009-11-11T04:57:04.889-08:00What a culture shock!

I don't think I could have done what you did and moved to another country that is so different from Canada. <br /><br />I miss your columns in the Ottawa Citizen, they used to make my days when I'd read them.
