Allicat,

You should deal with advertisement business..

This TOPIC is record breaker... It reached 205+1 answers and 2166 eyes on it....

the moral of the story is, "that wherever there are Hens it will always be Hot...."

UPDATE

The EAGLE PARTY is scheduled for  4PM on Friday, April 16th at my apt.  I will supply the food (Louisiana-style chili with a middle-eastern flair lol) but you're welcome to bring something if you care to.

.... and I'm still in the visa queue and now aiming to be in Riyadh on the 1st May...ho hum

(My husband is due for his Dubai visa run on the 28th, so we will meet up there...two days in Dubai with him should soften my Riyadh landing;))

So much of expat life is about, 'Hurry Up and Wait!'

and girls....
have a lovely evening...finally:)

Yes, loanna - enjoy Dubai

may I accompany my wife?

Actually it would be 'legal' for you to do so since I in a 'family building' but then we'd have to listen to all the other guys in this forum b*tching they weren't invited

Additionally, I don't think you'd be comfortable outnumbered by so many EAGLES!!!

Think you can make the Turkish Embassy Bazaar next Saturday?  That's the perfect opportunity for ALL of us to meet (and I understand aticus is bringing roses for the guys.. you have a choice of pink or red lol).

Is it Saturday or Tghursday (22)?
Do we have to come to the Turkish Embassy?
Will try and bring the whole gang along

I LOVE those roses!!! 

and I will keep the cauliflower for my identification

yes nonz - flower identification sounds like a good idea
oooh - my first party in Saudi

I will keep the cauliflower for my identification

Ummmm.. won't that be kinda heavy behind your ear?



(sometimes I crack me up! lol)

my first party in Saudi

Not exactly a party--more of a 'meet up.'  But with any luck there will be tables and chairs and we can all hang out, eating and chatting and getting to know each other.

BTW.. the 'roses' thing started out as a joke, but 'flower identification' isn't a bad idea.  How about a prize for the person who has the flower in the most unusual place?

Butt if I put it there - no one will see it. LOL

As it's next Saturday is that the 17th or 24th?

why not have the flowers in a vase laid on a table and everyone can simply look for the table. Someone needs to take the lead and be seated at the table early. Maybe its good to mention a time?

Hehehehe this is true ,Rose would look beautiful over there,in fact i tried the same place but my mum told me I should not atleast cover it



with my hat or my hair not gonna look beautiful

Good idea, musicman, but what if there aren't tables?  The bazaar I went to was outdoors ... there were food vendors but only just a few benches here and there along the street (ie. nobody set up tables).  My colleagues and myself managed to grab a bench in the shade and had a wonderful afternoon.  But .. no tables.

I believe aticus said it runs from 11:00-17:00?  What time frame is good?  Doesn't matter to me.  Whatever time the majority wants to be 'arrival' is fine.

i tried the same place

nonzie is so naive   The key word was 'butt'  lol
