Love the way you did that with all the link, H... is that bracelet in the picture yours? And you like *real* cowboy boots!? I'm surprised! I would have though you'd go for the trendy knock-offs :)
le bracelet est super
How long does it take to complete the list? I attempted on doing the same, I admit, it's very difficult.
You LUV gold, i see! Arab women are fond of gold, I remember mom telling me that Arab men had to provide a certain amount of gold for his bride, it's not dowry, right? or is it?
I think you should write an entry about Libyan weddings!*hint, hint*
Programmer_Craig , thanks , the bracelet is not mine and I've put the link for it in ethnic jewelry page, but I do have two similar ones in gold and a silver one , they are Libyan traditional bracelets and I simply adore them and love showing them off.
Yes I like real cowboy boots even when they are pink coloured:)
Nomad , moi aussi je trouve qu'il est super, tu aimes les bijoux en general ?
NBA :P I still have not worn my saris with the boots , but you giving me ideas man .. I am crazy like that LOL.
Redenclave it took me about one hour and a half to complete it - pls do it and shows your 15 things !
PS everyone is welcome to do the meme.
As for dowries I'll point you to these two posts

Thanks for responding Highlander, I own Kiss Kiss too! no wonder we are friends.
Oh those black and white boots you showed me will be great to kick some cowboys butt lol!
Lovely list.
I don't wear jewelry, only a clock one; my husband keeps buying me a new one each birthday ! I prefer pratical things to wear, but I enjoy seeing beautiful things, especially hand-made and original artesanat
Impressive list HL! I love the picture of the Demlej (this is what we call in in Benghazi). Oh, it reminds me of my grandmother’s. Though, I like it better in silver.
Hey HL, is there any chance to squeeze in Rara skirts in your list? Hehehe, They go perfect with cowboy boots, right? hehehe
Sereeb hahaha how did you know ? I love my jeans rara skirt and do wear it with my boots - that's when people think I'm underage, and the undergrad's ask me out LOL.
Yes I love the Deblej too and the khulkhal .
(1) Potato chips - only way to stop me eating them is by outlawing them!
(2) Ahhhh - books!
(3) Writing - just can´t keep my hands shut
(4) Jokes of any kinds, especially the grotesque, burlesque hard cracking jokes, the worse the better
(5) Dallas - God knows why this silly TV-series from the 70ies has caught me so much I put away all other priorities once the clock turns 1330h
(6) Travelling - the world is simply SO INTERESTING
(7) Horror and science fiction movies
(8) Walking - makes me relax so much
(9) Competition - people hate me for doing it, but I´m the kind of woman still shouting: "Who gets to the car first?" - even though I should be past that age
(10) History - I just love looking at pictures to see how a place has developed and changed; I find old history fascinating and if time travel is invented, I´ll be the first to jump the jaunt
(11) The Libyan desert - especially at night and in the morning; the desert breathes and is alive - I´m not joking you can feel it!
(12) Kids - sadly I have only 3, but I am compensating by teaching, although it is a lousy wage to earn
(13) Tiger, my canary
(14) My religion - the more I learn about it, the more I am sure of it
(15) Hm...it took me some years but I finally learned to accept and love myself....

hey Argurzil, # 4 and # 7 would suit Craig :lol:
I put my favorite N° 1 on my place, too long for here
I find it kind of discouraging that I have so many interests in common with a guy like LibyanWarrior...
Hey, LW, I was playing D&D when it first came out in the early 1970s. "Chainmail" as well (a rule system for tabletop wargaming written by Gary Gygax, which was the direct predecessor of D&D)
The game hasn't been worth playing since about 1980, in my opinion, though. It used to be a game for smart kids, and then it became a game for adult dorks :p
No 2 is on
I love the bracelet!!! I bought a similar one last time I was in Tunisia along with some rings and earrings, but I lost them thanks to Alitalia....
What a lovely list HL! And Safia mantioned the Sahara, I must agree it is quite wonderful! And LW's #15. Yeah I love my bed too.
And Craig! if you were into those games in the 70's: did you ever try Nomic? I saw it in Scientific American in maybe 1980. It is game based on a set of rules, and all actions are (initially) changes to the rules. So actually it could morph into anything. It seemed kinda cool but I never got around to try it. I wonder if this cool idea is actually fun to play...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic
No 3 : De Helleborus, is on
Adam, interesting link! No, never palyed that... looks like the article which inspired the game was published late in 1982, which is when I joined the USMC. I was in the big leagues of "changing the rules" by then :P
Twosret :) yes I still want those boots I showed you , which KissKiss lipstick you like ? my favourite is no.12.
Nomad, I am shocked how can you not wear jewelry ? ah your husband is a darling :P
Safia he he he I have yet to see all the episodes of Dallas I never found out how it ended and I used to be so in love with Patrick Duffy ( Bobby I think ). But only because I had seen his old movie the man from Atlantis . Nice body.
LW (aka Agurzil) yay for Buffy , I know it is silly but I liked the girl , though I felt she look quite old in the last episodes.
Craig :P it is ok to share same tastes as LW , maybe that's why you guys keep 'bickering'-
Leilouta , hopefully you can buy them again from the souk , I've seen some nice silver ones, you will find in Libya lovely ones two antique and new ( silver or if you prefer gold ).
Adam :) glad to see you here again, there is nothing as majestic as the Sahara . What's with the games - am I the only one who does not play them ?
Hey H
since you watch Dallas, maybe you should also list down what other shows in the 80's that you have watched or love to watch again,Dynasty? ;P
What about Santa Barbara...
p/s I can't believe B&B is still on...when will it end?
, though I felt she look quite old in the last episodes.
Yeah She looked old.lol. She was 25, 26 yearsold. SMG was 18 when she took the role. But the Spike looked young I was shooked to here he was like over 40.
