Oh, OK, well... the flip side is that trying to be too perfect can wind up wasting a lot of time and really screw things up.

Wouldn't that be nice!

Go for glory..... (long term decision.) You won't regret it, even if you fail. If you do not go for that glory ;\ You will regret that this chance to make a difference was let up :\ If you family are understanding.... Then, they shall understand. I am making this sound too simple? lol, Indeed I is.

Salaam Sally,

I wonder where you got this from then?

For what it may be worth, I think you should take the advice of your best friend, i.e.

The business aspect: Use an online business forum for loads of good advice.

The emotional and spiritual aspects: You need to be where your faith calls you.

Love should not be possessive.

Snoopy.

Sorry, mw, Im not a business woman. I would be worried that going back home to Egypt wouldnt happen for a long time. A business can take up a lot of your time, but you seem to be missing your husband much more. So what if the internet is a bit bodgey in Egypt, Im sure you can organise something. Even if you just went home for a little while and see how the business goes without you. Could you fly back to England if you needed to? What bout your folks, they seem to be very supportive of you but I feel maybe your mum might want to tighten those apron strings once again. I cant blame her, I am a clingy mother. I just never knew it until my oldest moved out wwith his girlfriend. I cried for days. (sook) Anyway, thats my two cents worth. But youhad better still try to post regularly. Love theGrey

Scrape the inside of your cheek vigorously with a sterilized and dull knife for about five minutes. You will see a collection of cells on the edge of the knife when you take it out of your mouth.

Quickly, scrape the cells from the knife into a blender in which you have placed the ingredients for the smoothy of your choice.

Blend the mixture, including the cells of self, for a minute or two until smooth and creamy.

Drink it all down at once.

Do this at least three times a day, four helps to move things along more quickly.

Always place a Cabbage leaf over your face when you go to sleep at night once you begin this dietary routine.

One magical morning when you least expect it, a small Sally clone will appear on your pillow next to your head.

Care for the clone as you would any other small and important animal. But be careful, their growth rate is seven times the normal human rate.

In three of your years you will have a complete and competent adult clone of you who will be more than willing to live the parts of your life that you have been sickened by.

Good luck !

you are definately a strange one, flow. lol

Okay the decision is made, I am going to run away with the circus in Romania and sod everyone.

My little world is falling apart. Everyone hates the main picture I spent 6 weeks choosing for the main home page and this has now made me doubt everything I am doing.

Salaam MW...Remember what Chris said about 90% of the problems coming in the last 10% of the effort.
1. Put your blinkers on.
2. Put in your earplugs.
3. It is YOUR website !
4. Post up the picture YOU WANT.
5. Do the best you are capable of in the time left.
6. Count the money when it rolls in.
7. Drive to the Romanian Circus with your husband in your new Bently.
8. Pull off the road once in a while and use the back seat at your discretion.

I don't want a Bentley Flow, ever. I can do much better things with the money.

Have I ever told you my dream of starting a co-operative in my town? There are so many poor people, I mean REALLY poor and no way out of it. So my idea is to make a lot of money and start a business co-op. I would buy taxi's and shops and get people to submit business plans. Any I feel could work would get a free business. They would sign a contract for repaying the money and when they can stand on their own 2 feet that money would be passed onto the next person.

I never dream small

but none of this can happen if I don't get my head sorted out.

Well if the 90% comes in the last 10% then I must be nearing the end. I think to be honest it has all just got too much being away from home so long and then the stress of this. I shall have a good nights sleep and no doubt tomorrow I shall be back on form (although it is 4am now)

Hm...a local leaflet drop to promote an online dating site doesn't necessarily strike as the best approach by the local conditions you describe above.

As for the picture is - if it's your business, it's for you to make executive decisions. If people criticise, decided whether the criticism is based on any constructive issues you can use, or whether it's just meddling you can ignore. There is quite a grey area between these two so be careful.
