Guess there isn't a whole lot going on in the Sandbox today. The news is sparse. The articles - even more sparse. Click on 'em. You'll see what I mean.
There's a report of a "bad milkman," the headline is a bit misleading... Someone [no need to play "guess the nationality"] tried to sell expired baby formula.
There's a report of a "woman being killed crossing the road." Perhaps if she was wearing white instead of being dressed head-to-toe in black the driver who hit her would have seen her. I think that women, for safety purposes, should be required to put reflective strips or blinking red lights on their black hefty bags after dark.
There is a lengthy article detailing how an Asian driver "rams into workers." Two sentences. Hardly newsworthy.
Three sentences on "200 cleaning workers" protesting the delay in their salary...
There will be "penalties soon for smokers." Yeah. Right. As soon as women are allowed to drive there will be penalties for smokers, here. And even if there are penalties, the ONLY ones who will receive penalties will be the ex-pats.
The headline says "Saudi man held for beating wife." It happened in Canada.
About Me
- Sabra
- Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, there was a Woman who thought she was living the American Dream. Her childhood, although now not particularly memorable, was fairly normal. She went to school. She got a job. She met a tall, blonde and handsome pilot and married him. It was all good. They were the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple. The handsome pilot built her the house of her dreams in North Carolina, where she thought they would live for the remainder of their many, many days to come. Circumstances, totally out of the control of this lovely Ken and Barbie couple, changed everything. Shortly afterward, they came to find themselves living a whole new life in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Oh, sure, they are still the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple, but Barbie now wears an abeyah over her designer outfits when she leaves her house, she has given up her pink convertible because she is not allowed to drive, and she no longer has an office that she visits five days a week, instead choosing to spend her time as a stay-at-home wife and an over-protective, doting Mommy to their two absolutely adorable, much loved and very, very pampered four-legged “Kids.”
