Aack, don't forget to get your thyroid checked when you go into the doc's office for those antidepressants! You might be hypothyroid.

sadness
Today I typed a young teen who hung herself. Seh was found after an hour and now is on life support, not expected to live. She had been insulted by a friend and her mother got mad at her. What I do whenit's just too much is I pray for the patient or whoever.
You have to be persistent. Don't give up...sm
I too was running out of work. I worked full-time for three different companies in the last five years and none could give me consistent work. I now have three part-time IC positions and have never run out of work. Look everywhere you can for a job and send resumes to them all. Eventually you will hear back. Don't forget the newspapers and internet. This isn't the only place to find a job, although I did get one of mine from here.
Good luck and don't give up. I bet I sent out 30+ resumes a couple years ago when I was looking and maybe had four responses.
Be persistent! The doc is probably not expediting her next appointment
because your mom may not be physically symptomatic. If it were me, I would call to talk to the doctor personally (not his/her nurse or assistant) and maybe he can give her some reassurance that everything is OK. Good luck.
that's just rumors, as persistent as they are unfounded
You can go out anytime you want. You do have to wear the abiyya (the black cloak, very thin, go find it in silk!) to cover your clothes, it's a matter of modesty. Non-Muslim women don't have to cover their hair, but the Embassy tells you to carry a scarf with you in your purse, just in case. The hospital sent two buses out every evening to various destinations: Safeway and Pizza Hut, or the open-air bazaar, or the enclosed mall with red carpet, a/c, fountains, escalators and chandeliers, or to the open air fruit/vegetable market. There are amusement parks that are separated into men's side and women's side, complete with log flume. The zoo has women's days. The restaurants are divided into men's and family section, and usually the family sections are MUCH nicer, with mashrabiyya screens for privacy, your own waiter, etc. There are taxi's all over (called limos), that you can call from the hospital to take you anywhere you want to go, or you can catch them on the street of course. Far from, being hostile, the Arab women are very friendly, they are very curious about us. The slightest show of friendship on your side willl go a long way. You'll meet lots of American and British employees at the hospital, of course, but sad to say, most of them go on the shopping buses, but otherwise sit home and complain about how there's no freedom and they can't do anything. Make yourself some Arab friends (female) and you'll be out every night partying!!! Non-alcoholic, of course :)
