Have a great time in Scotland. It's a great place, but I bet its colder than Lebanon 
Following appoggiatura's comment i decided to expand what I think happens when women get too much power.
All women in the world want to get more power, no matter how much they work they usually reach a place that they can never be promoted from anymore because its reserved for men (even if its not in the companies rules or whateve) its just how this...

I am so sorry to hear that happened!!!! While I would love to say I disagree, because I have worked for several women in "high" positions who were AMAZING (including the Chancellor of the state higher ed system) - it doesn't hold true for all women. As a matter of fact, she (the one I worked for) is retiring and they have appointed a BITCH to replace - but I don't work there anymore (even though I still work in higher ed.) Some women think to get ahead they have to be bitches and thats what they do - I think the major thing about today's feminists is that they have forgotten the word "feminine" is still part of being a woman and being a feminist. But then again, being humane isn't a feminine trait - it's one that all people should possess - unfortunately alot don't. I am really sorry to hear about what happened. I am hoping you can appeal - 
have an appointement with the canadian embassy in approx an hour, wish me luck.
see yas.
update: back home, they took my papers and I got an interview there in 2 hours... but anyway they told me if they give me my visa it will be on the 6 of september 1 day late of late registration in uni.

Canada is a great country, even if it is freezing cold in the winter. My fingers are crossed to wish you luck.
abyssia:
I hear you about women in power. I don't know why we turn into such bitches - maybe because we think we're supposed to be? Maybe because we think we need to be in order to compete with men? Maybe because we're not used to being in power and feel some sort of need to overcompensate? Whatever it is (and it may have something to do with the big shoulder pads in the 80's) it isn't right and I'm very sorry you were the victim of a woman in power. Grrr!!!! (Ok, all feminists may now come out and bash me). I don't think it is necessary for a woman to behave in such a way! It is not necessary nor is it appropriate and it certainly does nothing to further any "feminist" cause!!! So there and Ha! (Yes, I'm very passionate about this issue). Ladies, chill out. Kod, can you try again or appeal the process/decision? I'm sorry I was MIA with the wishing of luck, but I was simply MIA across the board. I'm still not quite all here - but when was I ever? ;o)
My aunt passed away a few hours ago .
at least she isn't suffering anymore.

I am not a religious person, but I hope for all the dead that there is heaven.
there is a ceasefire now, a bit fragile hopefully it will last a few days until the UNIFEL forces enter the south.
oh well. war sux...
this was the 4th in my lifetime.

nina_kova:
good to hear that the ceasefire is happening. I know from reports there was alot of heavy fighting up until it went into effect. Wow - I can't imagine surviving four wars...I hope your family is holding up as well....
nina_kova:
sorry to hear about your aunt...i lost my grand-mum to cancer - it's a horrible thing to experience...
latest numbers: 959 dead, thousands of wounded, thousands of sick people with diseases that havent appeared in centuries simply because there is no clean water.
and they claim they are bombing hezbollah, they claim that they destroyed 70% of its fire power, which was proven wrong when they sent 100 missiles in 5 minutes.
Anyway, I stay awake all the nights watching tv. They setup...

wow - I wish I could say something "intelligent" but not having lived in the midst of what you are - it feels trite. It is a tremendous loss of life...
Hi all.
thanks for the comments and prayers
I really appreciate it alot.
too many dead, 4 billion dollars in damage.
and its going.
yesterday they bombed the media antenas in lebanon, mainly because they were the only media who were showing the amount of damage that israel is doing here.
all other medias are showing israel as bombing only hezbollah..yeah right...

i am happy to hear you are well - it is amazing to watch what is happening in the world and then to be able to understand that this isn't something on "the news" these events are real to people - touch real people and kill real people...I hope you and your family are able to make it out - n
abyssia:
I am hoping you are still well. I hope you can give us another update. I hope most of all that you and your family are safe and that if you have left Lebanon, your journey is swift. I look forward to hearing from you again.
my mum is going nuts and she is urging us to go out of beirut.
gonna take her out to another city in an hour or so.
if the road are ok, I will be back.
I dont want to leave home.
if not, I will try to find internet there and keep you guys posted.
if not... see ya when I see ya if...

Watching the news on the Middle East is very depressing. I hope that you and your family are safe and that your home is not blown up.
Take care.

mediavortex:
Hey you ok man ? That last message you posted was about five days ago now. It doesn't look good over there on the news. I know I've been absent on here for a while but when this stuff errupted you were the first thing that came to mind. I know when you had that last crisis over there (it seems minor compared to this though) you said stuff like that didn't phase you and that you grew up with explosions all the time, but this seems a bit more extreme, then what is even normal over there. Hope you're ok. Thanks for the birthday wishes back in April.

I never imagined bombing like this in Lebanon. The BBC news showed civilians killed as the were driving away from their village and the infrastucture of Lebanon being reduced to rubble.
What Hezbullah did was wrong, but the punishment being metered out is out of proportion and being paid by the wrong people...

you know when winter has started and the thunder wakes you up the first few days.

I got used to them now.
while I was sleeping some heavy bombs exploded making my whole room shake. I openned my eyed I cursed a bit for not letting me...

I've been thinking of you - and the several hundred "cousins" I have in Lebanon. I can't even bring myself to read the whole news reports. Somewhere between rage and sadness and helplessness my mind sort of turns off. It isn't easy for people to understand my reaction either.... Most just think (if they bother to think) that it's just more violence in a notoriously violent region of the world. But I know you. And I share blood with many there. Blood.
Please stay safe.

That basically means that you're full of and driven by your testosterone, like alot more than other guys haha and apparently this helps in being good at sport and the arts, but fucks up logical thinking and science and stuff.
just to set the record straight there hehe
