Hi, Abdulla!
No, I don't mind.
They just promised us a lift to their house and back on the third day of the Eid, then made us get a taxi out there (difficult and expensive at this time), ignored us and treated us badly at their house while trying to get us to teach their horrible kids,(on a regular basis). and then when i finally agreed to help, didn't give us a lift home. Wifey can't walk that far and it is difficult for me also, we waited in very hot sunshine for over an hour, neither of us can stand for too long in the heat, and then when we returned to their house, they decided they could take us home after all, but the battery was mysteriously flat on the car. Wifey couldn't even walk upstairs to their apartment and no water was offered. Big rows followed and we finally got a taxi back later.
Both of us have been unwell since.
But this chap is kind of the number three politician in the county and to upset him could be dangerous.

Pure BS! He's lucky you're not an American. We act first and wonder if it was a good idea afterwards.

it's hard to meet my standards though and I don't think he will... i can accept work that is not 100% if someone has a good drive and gives 100% effort.... not the case in either. i'll try tomorrow to motivate, he should have the 'how to' now. ( I bailed at 5 )

got told yesterday if i had my licence I would be running that place, guess i got to think about stepping up!

Well at least you got out at a sensible time.
Step up if you can!!!
Go for it, or you'll regret not having done so.

Oh crap! that's just $****y!

Ever since I realized I was gay, I just stopped caring about my family.

Family sucks

Hello hello! I hope everyone is doing well today! Has that Redbull arrived? Had a long night of homework and a project to do with my big guy, it is needed!

Adam, I just realized you live in Morocco! That is fascinating! Are you Moroccan, do you speak Arabic?

We have a very old friend of the family, Henia, lovely lady, she's Moroccan.

My mother is Syrian and my father is Cuban, I'm an interesting mix

My family sucks and I'm straight. Go figure.

The thing is they were very kind to us when we first came to Morocco and were a novelty.
They have helped us with problems on a few occasions and I have taught one of his sons, who is nice, for a year, one of his daughters, who is okay, for 6 years, and two other girls, who are both horrid for 8 years.
He is also useful in that if I mention his name I get special treatment all over the city.
Naughty, I know, but it's how things work here.

At least it's a give and take. But you know how much he thinks of you at least.

Good idea!!!!
Make yourself increasingly indispensable.

Yep, John checked in the Redbull with the post this morning, days earlier than expected.
Help yourself.
Hope the homework went well!!!!
I've lived here for ten years, previously I lived in Saudi Arabia, Poland and Thailand, but am half English and half Welsh, grew up in England.
i speak the Moroccan dialect, Darija pretty well, standard Arabic, moderately.
Many friends and neighbours here are lovely, but some people, as anywhere, are just nasty.
Have you been to Syria ?
I loved it, Damascus is one of my favourite cities (or was ), great people, but doubt if i'll ever be able to go there again.
Terrible what is happening to that great country.

Morning all

I think it's a case of mutual 'using' of the other.

Morning! Morning! Morning!!

Spuds hygrometer came

The hygrometer says 71% humidity with it sprayed
Still need to get that glass sorted though

Also, any ideas what "in" and "out" temperatures mean on the hygrometer/thermometer?

Redbull is perfectly...COLD! Thank you!

Wow! How interesting! Oh, those nasty people are all over. In Spanish there is a saying "No coje lucha" which really means "Don't take it personal" in English, this is how I live my life. I let things literally roll right off my shoulders, works incredible well! Nod and smile, nod and smile

Homework, well, I have a few battle wounds to show (nasty paper cuts) we had to make a house out of card board and my sweet child decided to tell me this at 9:00 at night! UGH! The joys...!

My mother was born and raised in Damascus, she speaks about it so often though ive never been... at this time, I don't think i'll ever be able to go. It is horrible what is happening to those people and my heart breaks for them! I don't speak much Arabic, but I know a lot of the bad words... hehehe.. I guess that's what stuck, bad, I know! THE FOOD. Oh my goodness the food. My moms cooking is something I really treasure! I brought Hummus and Tabouleh for lunch! Soo good!

Also.
I have decided to leave cheddar or 2 weeks to see of his tumor grows. If it grows, then it needs to be removed.
If I notice growth or discomfort before the 2 weeks is over then I shall get him a vet appointment and go from there

Hi, Spud's Mum!!!
Looks good.
It is designed to measure indoor and outdoor temps (by using the sensor on a wire for outdoor).
And indoor humidity.
