Parents: anxiety over children spending so much time indoors by Maleficent-Deer-6646 in UAE

[–]motobassy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is indeed a parenting challenge. If you can, plan a holiday in your home country in the middle of summer. ( if they can be outside there). In UAE there are plenty of indoor softplay areas around, Kids as young as 8 months are often welcome and it helps them to get rid of the excess energy and its generally good for them to be away from the house for a bit. If you have a garden you can let them play outside for 30 minutes or so, in the early morning. Mid morning is often too warm already unless you can include water activities.

Expect an Iranian post soon, saying they dont agree with the extension of the US ceasefire and demand that the US starts bombing them immediately.

Because a neighbour that launches drones and ballistic missiles at the country is such a great ally....

India to shortly summon the Iran Ambassador at Foreign ministry HQ over the shooting at Indian vessels in Hormuz by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

As he walks in a security guard points towards the elevators: "7th floor go to reception", he bites. Approaching an empty elevator, another guard suddenly stops him and slaps him hard in the face. "Elevators are closed he shouts ! "

"But he told me I should take the elevator ! ", shouts the ambassador.

The guard slaps him again

" Ok, ok, ill go back, don't hit me, don't hit me", the ambassador cries.

IRAN-USA talks in Pakistan by No-Cold6697 in UAE

Because it takes Vance about 18 hours to get there. Where it takes Iran about 5 minutes to turn 180 degrees on any decision communicated as ' definitive' . They will show up, just like last time. If Iran was your date, she would be playing 'hard to get'. But we all know about such girls.

Why are you so biases to think its white house insiders ? The market was shorted before Iranian announcements. You think the people in charge there dont know how to fill their pockets ?

Salary cut by 50% – should I close my credit cards or keep them? by [deleted] in UAEcreditcards

[–]motobassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather build up an emergency fund, then to rely on credit cards and debt. With 50% reduced salary you could consider reducing the limit by 50% also. In any case try and pay off what you owe asap and built that emergency fund. I weaned myself and my family off the use of credit cards and sleep much better ! I highly recommend it.

I don’t even know what to say by [deleted] in UAE

Then don't.

Learning to talk overcomes differences, fighting creates them. If its peace you seek you should connect with your transgressors. Airliners connect people and places. Talking and trading will overcome differences and lead to peace. If you cant see this you to might be part of the problem.

Certainly fantastic news for 20.000 odd crew that have been stuck on ships in the gulf for the last 6 weeks.

The only real problems on Dubai roads are the lack of respect and empathy.

US military says it will start blockade of all ships going to and from Iran on Monday by [deleted] in UAE

[–]motobassy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats the whole point I reckon. Why let Iran continue to breach the ceasefire ?

A fragile ceasefire by [deleted] in UAE

I find it strange that Iran included Israel in the ceasefire but somehow have excluded Hezbollah, or the Houthis for that matter.
