Classic Margaret

I just bought a BRAND NEW 250 mL bottle of olive oil for $6, a small fortune in Cairo, and then KNOCKED IT OFF THE COUNTER immediately after unpacking it from the grocery bag. It SHATTERED across my kitchen sending green glass slivers in all sizes and waves of green goo EVERYWHERE. Took forever to clean up. Ugh.

    Hey Margs,

    I was going to email you this link, but thought I'd post it here in case any of your other readers want to check out the article. It is an NPR piece about Egypt's new "problem device" - a re-virginizing fake hymen with oozing blood substitute.

    That should work. Or it is entitled: "Artificial Virginity Device Sparks Backlash in Egypt."

    Hey Margs, That is devastating! How is the postal system there? I want to send you something. Email me your postal address in Cairo or maybe your office address would be better and tell me any restrictions on things that can't be sent! Keep your chin up! It is all part of the adventure. And yes, it is now an hour and a quarter of work time I have spent catching up on your blog...

    I was mistaken! On second look, I realize it was actually a full HALF LITER of olive oil!!!
