The early bird catches the. . .

Bus in this instance. Starting on Thursday of last week, I am now catching the bus to Al Rahba to get to work in the mornings. To do this, I have to get up a bit earlier to catch the bus at the bus station which is about a 5 minute ride from my house. Perfect except that you dont know when the cab drivers will get the notion to NOT stop for you (reasons unknown) so I have to get out there a bit earlier to make sure Im there on time.

So Ill be leaving the house to catch a cab around 545 am which means by the time I get down the elevator and cross the street and get to the cab drop its about 10 til and sometimes I have to wait about 5 mins which would put me there at 6 am. The bus gets there around 6 and leaves no later than 610 depending on how many people get on...

We get to our location about 715 and have a ways to walk but when one of the ladies from work pass by they pick us up. If we had to walk the entire way it would take about 15-20 doing a slow stroll. Now that I can pretty much walk with little to no problem this is good for me because I need the exercise and its less expensive for me. I currently ride home on the bus but that will only last until it gets unbearable and then I will be back to paying someone for a ride home. That gives me a month or so to do something else with that carpool money.

Car selling season will be soon upon us and then I will be buying a car.
Guess I should send for my license!

Moroccanoil Soap

If youve read this blog for any length of time, Im sure youve gotten your laughs off my Moroccan bath experience. As crazy as that was for me, i believe I will be going to get one again, though at a much better establishment! Today, I ran across this product  And while waiting in line for a price, an Arabic lady gave it the once over, looked inside, and nodded her head in approval of what was inside. After seeing it was only 9.50 dhm, I got another. Once I try it, I will certainly give a review! In the meantime, here is information about the product-or products like this: Moroccan Black Soap and How To Use It The black soap is part of the traditional hammam ritual. It is the first treatment in oriental public bath. With a texture of butter, this natural vegetable paste based with black olives is rich in vitamin E. It is obtained from a mixture of oil and crushed olives, soaked in salt and potash. In the nineteenth century it was used as a product of Dermatology and late...

Braces in the UAE

This has been a long time coming. Ive wanted braces since forever. At home it wasnt in the budget.Here, the first year went by and I decided that if I didnt get them this year, I would probably keep putting it off. So I start the process of looking. Requirements? clean,efficient,KNOWLEDGEABLE, affordable. That was pretty much what I wanted. After some searching, I realized that I couldn't pay 25000 dirham...didn't really want to pay 14000 but would if I had to...and then I came across an  ortho place  in Dubai. hmmmmmm. Dubai? Perks were: no down payment,500 dh each visit, retainer included. I was in. So I called and went hoping against all hope that it would be more than the regular consultation because Id driven from Abu Dhabi! Fortunately, they xrayed me and told me about the process a bit. I didn't know what to ask so I took my  papers after signing to the "deal" and went home with the biggest grin ever on my face. I WAS GETTING BRACES! And then I...
