That's my theory.MK Safihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584405112418015393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11985920.post-1467513447568724112007-03-01T13:54:00.000+04:002007-03-01T13:54:00.000+04:00Hello Angelique!We are happy here, for the most pa...Hello Angelique!<BR/><BR/>We are happy here, for the most part. Al Ain has a nice, relaxed feel to it, and is very green compared to other cities here. Feel free to ask any questions you have about Al Ain and living in UAE and we will do our best to answer them.Bsshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500665850704077395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11985920.post-82291586397653689022007-03-01T12:29:00.000+04:002007-03-01T12:29:00.000+04:00Good morning,We (my hubby, triplets and I) are mov...Good morning,<BR/><BR/>We (my hubby, triplets and I) are moving from South Africa to Al Ain this year. My hubby will start his new job there 1 May 2007 and the triplets (all girls) and I will follow round Jul/Aug this year. Are you guys happy there and could you tell me a bit about the place. We are very excited to be moving to Al Ain, but don't really have a clue as to what it is like over there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11985920.post-8650628367978233062007-03-01T05:51:00.000+04:002007-03-01T05:51:00.000+04:00To help financially, we sold our furniture.

We just have the mattress sitting on the floor and against the wall just like a couch. It works perfect because my little can jump on it all she wants, it is safe, I can lay down on it with her etc. I thought I would hate being so low on the carpet, but I actually like it now--I can play things on the floor with her much easier now--it has really helped being at her level. Also--takes up less space than our old overstuffed couch. I do agree about the quality of furniture though. Unless you are rich you get stuck with fake wood products which fall apart easy.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193307121581619893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11985920.post-49394228801623722652007-02-28T10:30:00.000+04:002007-02-28T10:30:00.000+04:00It's funny that you say that your couch doubles as...It's funny that you say that your couch doubles as a trampoline. Every time I turn around, our 4 year old is jumping away on ours. That's the reason why we bought the trampoline last year, and why we miss it so much since someone destroyed it. We may have to find one of those very small exercise trampolines to keep in the family room so he'll have an outlet for those jumping wiggles.Bsshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500665850704077395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11985920.post-39688073004080819572007-02-28T03:21:00.000+04:002007-02-28T03:21:00.000+04:00Even though I've often described our style as "Ear...Even though I've often described our style as "Early American Hand-Me-Down" meets "Garage Sale Chic" Eclectic I will say what we have is well made.

The expensive stuff probably isn't any more sturdy, just more garish (or baroque if you will).Marcus Aureliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731740191789466205noreply@blogger.com
