Deasr scot47,
Look on the bright side. Your 17 years spent in the Kingdom was an excellent preparation for where you're now residing. 
Regards,
John |

Dear scot47,
Didn't 17 years in Saudi teach you that your time there is all part of Allah's grand plan?
It's ALL inshallah.
Regards,

| What would you have done with those 17 years if you hadn't spent them in KSA? |

The grass is always greener else where....in the end...he'd probably be asking the same question...
Most people end up victims of circumstances...failed marriages, addictions, children are some of the ways that may serve as excuses as to how one's life was used up. Life seldom turns out the way we envisoned in our youth. Suck it up Scott! You could be worse off than you are! |
