Laundry, errands, cleaning, cooking. I would be offended if she had to lift a finger in her apartment or feel anything "sticky" on the bottom of her feet on any surface of the house!<BR/><BR/>I grew up in New Jersey. Not a lot of boys where I come from become domestic servants. But it's in my blood. Always has been. There was nothing else I wanted to be. So in a funny way, I was moved by your houseboy entry. I created an account just to reply to you.<BR/><BR/>If you ever need a houseboy because you're living in the US, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to serve you.<BR/><BR/>Please write me at nychouseboy@yahoo.com if you can. I'm not sure I'll be able to find any response you post here.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>dannychouseboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225403108561557935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-1163380990851998142006-11-13T04:23:00.000+03:002006-11-13T04:23:00.000+03:00Paper towels are meant to be used sparingly.

I am a bag folder as well, a firm believer in recycling, but it never did occur to me that you actually can iron them.?.?...<BR/>No wonder you are pressed for time my dear! <BR/><BR/>If there is a follow up on the sorry case of Fatima's employers I sure hope you'll keep us posted.<BR/>It is amazing that a people so fond of corporal punishment and incredibly over the top sentencing for small time criminal, seem totally unconcerned about such isssues as domestic violence and, worst of all child sexual abuse! Enough to make one "A kaste öp!" as Ingrid from Oslo would say. ( I am sure this brings up fond memories for you dear Sabra.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-1163156282233817602006-11-10T13:58:00.000+03:002006-11-10T13:58:00.000+03:00Nothing I can say about Fatima would express what ...Nothing I can say about Fatima would express what I truly think, not without my keyboard melting. I hope her employers rot in hell, but honestly, I doubt they even know what they did wrong. Education should be the solution but I wouldn't trust the Saudi educators not to perpetuate the problem.<BR/><BR/>Glad you got the loot from Dubai! Too right you deserve it. <BR/><BR/>I would try your ironing grocery bag technique but sadly I don't possess an iron. I could give them to the nice ironing man who comes every Tuesday though ...... well, maybe not :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-1163100447200583942006-11-09T22:27:00.000+03:002006-11-09T22:27:00.000+03:00Excuse me, NS and Rose, but this is about Fatima! ...Excuse me, NS and Rose, but this is about Fatima! She was beaten, to beyond recognizing. Remember? And from what I can gather, it was ALL because she didn't follow the bathroom cleaning instructions. So, you see what happens when you don't use Lysol and a half roll of Scott WHITE papertowels when you clean one bathroom?!? [And, yes, now I am kidding.]<BR/><BR/>What happened to Fatima is truly unpardonable. We can only hope that the “employers” are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. [Cough! Oh, excuse me. Cough, cough, cough…] Yeah, thirty days and ten lashes will teach them a lesson – certainly enough to deter anyone to NOT to ever do THIS again. Oh, and you’ll be keeping Fatima in jail for three to thirty years? And HOW MANY lashes??? Yep. Case resolved.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, NS and Rose, glad you were both able to get a good chuckle out of my bathroom cleaning instructions. [You should see the closets! Yes, they truly are organized by color, sleeve length, all shirts facing the same direction... And yes, my spices are in alphabetical order, why? And there is a small check list on the inside left cupboard so that if one is running low I can know what it is I need to add to my grocery list. Oh, never mind...]<BR/><BR/>Just out of curiosity, who out there folds their grocery bags???<BR/><BR/>The way to achieve that perfect, permanent crease in the plastic bags is to set the iron on low and use a piece of damp linen to iron the bags after folding... In case anyone was wondering...<BR/><BR/>P.S. Rose – Do not know what souk DH ended up at, but I ended up with a gorgeous necklace! He may have paid too much, but I work hard, here, and I deserve it. Okay, tomorrow is Friday. It is grooming day for the Kids! They just luv it. Ears cleaned; teeth brushed; both Kids thorough brushings - The Baby gets barrettes! If I thought she would be still long enough, I'd paint her nails. The Boy had a bath this past Saturday, before I cleaned my bathroom. It is also appliance AND make-up brush collection cleaning day. Instructions to follow. Oven has been "frosted" with Easy-Off. And on that note, I'm off to bed.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-1163076684463927362006-11-09T15:51:00.000+03:002006-11-09T15:51:00.000+03:00ROFL!!

OK, I can see why having help could be stressful for you :-) I'm going to print off the bathroom instructions for Soma and see how long it takes for her to laugh at me!!<BR/><BR/>BTW, you can get Bounty here - you might want to send dh to Spinney's next time he's in Dubai.

It is absolutely horrendous and more than likely a common occurence in the Magic Kingdom, that poor woman was truly lucky that some empathetic (seemingly a rare quality amongst Saudis) airport personnel had the sense to act.<BR/>And dearest Sabra you are priceless! Far from me to dismiss your domestic woes, but you certainly had me in stitches. I guess the next candidate will have to undergo stringent tests of his skills before he is hired.<BR/>May I add that my personnal preference for torture implements are a combo of the rack and cat o'nine tails vigourously applied. {;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
