The Male Member Speaks

Come Monday (hmmm...) YLM and MM are turning Mothers over to ..... the male members of our group!! (Cue screams, shrieks, frightened gulps....)

Oh yes, The Prince and Alpha Male will rule our blog for seven days provided (listen up boys...) they follow OUR rules. What, we wouldn't have rules? So we're counting down the days....and hoping our readers will help keep the male members in line.

1. No posting of pornography. Of any kind. If you think it might be considered pornography by your other half, it is. Oh yes, it is.

2. Write only about sex, and you'll prove us right.

3. If posting while inebriated use spell-check. We recommend this highly.

4. No posting of photos of yourself or various body parts. This is not Yahoo personals.

5. Do not flame our readers. However, they may flame you at will. Hey -- you agreed to this.

6. You must each post at least twice during the week. No, linking to your buddy's blog does not count. Or porn. (See Rule No. 1)

7. Think of our blog readership with kindness - yes, that does rule out in-depth analysis of last night's game.

8. We would appreciate a small measure of discretion, which means that if you post about any of our more embarrassing physical flaws we may have to exact a painful revenge. Don't say we didn't warn you.

9. The blog must be handed back to us at midnight Sunday August 27th. Think of yourselves as Cinderella.

10. And finally, please remember, your children might read this years from now in cyber-space historical files. Save them and yourselves from the embarrassment.

I think inebriated blogging could be funny. I'm just sayin'

I agree -- Won't say that hasn't happen here before....(heehee) but spell--check has helped...a lot!
I halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea see
It illustrates for my bee half
Mist aches eye can naught sea.
Iran this poem threw it
Sew ewe can plane lee no
Its error free in every weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

The spell checker? Yeah, that'll keep 'em safe :o)
To Love, Honor and Dismay

Apologies for being incommunicado this week and hope none of you out there are too distraught not to be receiving the usual almost-daily MotV missives. The reason for the silence is that I'm up to my neck, metaphorically-speaking, in research papers for my first grad course assessment. This experience has made me realise how rigorously un-academic I am in my thinking. It has also illuminated how reliant I am on red wine in order to get through endless evenings typing furiously on my laptop, not to mention the fueling of increasingly colorful curses that I feel obliged to aim at the University's online library system which consistently refuses to spit out any of the journals I'm desperate for (I refuse to believe this is 100% due to my technical incompetence...) Oh well, if this is the price one has to pay in order to realize a long-cherished dream then it's not all that bad... No one ever said a mid-life career change would be easy. Wish me luck!

Environment

Being an expat, a favorite topic of conversation is 'where I/you want to go next?' or 'When do you plan to go home?' It's a good question. I'm not sure I want to stay in Dubai for ever, but I'm also not sure about how long I want to be here for or where else I would like to live. For almost the first time ever, I have no fixed plans apart from keeping my eyes and mind open to interesting opportunities. And as to going 'home', I have no idea where that is. Constantly moving around as a child left me with the feeling that 'home' is wherever I am right now, so in effect 'home' could be anywhere. The longest I've ever lived in one fixed place was 18 years in London, on and off, but that doesn't feel like 'home' either - I love going back to see family and friends, and it's a great place to shop, but that's about it. I have a great love for California, which is where my extended family is from (and where most of the
