All this bad news about economy is so depressing. Sometimes I think would it not be nice that I go to sleep and wake up when this bad dream is over. But I have a family to take care of I cannot just cut myself off from the realities. I have to face them . May Allah not put me through any big test. Ameen.

The free ways all over US which are supposed to help masses reach their destination faster, choke during rush hours and become parking lots.

Yesterday in a thread in life1 I saw a reply by a crusher manufacturing company , are they giving a subliminal message to wives to buy their crushers to crush their husbands to straighten them out ?

No other country was mentioned in that news commentary. Only China for hosting the Olympics, USA because this is USA, then Pakistan , wow such a tiny country and its name being mentioned with big names.
