Full of Crap, Today

Pluh-eeeze. This can't be true. Read this. Now tell me why female gyms are being closed. Not because you want to see women healthy - that's for sure - but because someone is worried that "excessive movement may harm girls who are still virgins, possibly causing them to lose their virginity." Unbelievable. LFZ... [Swiped from the site that scours the bowels of the internet so we don't have to.]

From yesterday's article about keeping Saudi girls chaste, surprisingly [or, maybe not] there were only three comments made by the general public. Since it wasn't in the print edition of the paper it is a safe bet that not everyone is aware of the article. Still, I am surprised at the lack of attention it generated. The comments are here. One lone female commenter, who said "As a young muslim woman, I am sick and tired of Islamic authorities always talking about the responsibilities of the women in Islam in a patronizing manner. I am yet to hear about the authorities urging men to AT LEAST control their gaze." Good for her for speaking up.

This woman did not read the article in yesterday's paper. She's been caught by The Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice "for maintaining an illicit relationship with a foreign resident." Ut oh. Someone's in trouble...

Just another disposable worker. A maid. She hung herself.

A two-year old is NOT an infant. A two-year old is a toddler. And everyone knows that you can't take your eyes of a toddler - ever. No one was watching her. She drowned "in what was described as a large bucket at the family's home."

Not sure about this. The husband says the wife's tooth was broken during a routine c-section and that the hospital is responsible. Something is just wrong with the story. Perhaps the man hit his wife and that's how the tooth was broken?

That is not "turky" in the package in the picture. It is a pork roast that I am making for dinner tomorrow night. Six guests coming for clams casino and a pork roast - oh, and a broccoli salad with bacon. It will be a virtual pork-fest. Yummy! And, then, that is pretty much it for pork products at this household. Still a couple packages of hot sausages in the freezer which I will use at a pool party I have planned. Now is probably not the time to be bringing pork back to Saudi from Bahrain. Should have gone last week when they had 228,250 cars crossing. Although, I'm glad we didn't go. Can't imagine how long the wait was sitting at customs with that many cars. 540,343 people went to Bahrain. All to go shopping, right? Yeah. Right.
