It’s becoming impossible to live in this country…

Alia Yeah I guess they wanted to get the old price one last time. I would have liked to have got the old price one last time too. If I filled up on Thursday instead of Friday, I would have saved 200JD, and still got more fuel!

The stories we hear of home thefts are on the increase. In fact no matter how much security you add, how are you going to prevent them from pointing a gun at you as you get in the house and force you top open up all that security. I hope it doesn’t come to that!

As I understand that the mobile 1JD charge is a once a year thing, and that they do it in clusters, so you should get it sometime during the year. Thanks for dropping by!

I mean we all know that our country sides are not getting any electricity and water… all this is just for them to collect your money!

I hate these forced things

Oh yes crime will rise. A quote from one of my favorite movies (Shawshank Redemption). More walls, more bars, and more guards.
I hope it will be enough.

Yikes 60% ?! Where did you hear that figure ? Today’s paper said the exact percent is still to be announced.

i sometimes ask myslef could we have prevented this from happeining? we accept and try to accomodate with the new prices, we never object . and as our dear brothers in egypt say “ya far3oon eh illi far3anak..ma l2etshi 7ada yrodenny

stay tuned.i heard today that electrcity will also have a 60% rise..what’s left? mmm..internet? water?

8JD ? Wow is your MIL still using radio instead of TV ? :)

I know some people go nuts if their bill ever goes above JD60. Our bill is a bit high, but I think its the fact that each one of us sits in a separate room with their own TV, electric AC/heater, and computer running. Family bliss :D

(If it is inevitable to die, then it is dishnorable to die a coward)

I’m still alive, and if it will keep us from ending up like Iraq, if it will maintain our security, I will go around fifth circle 10 times each day saying maaaaaaaaa3 until the cows come home, but it won’t :)

Read a bit about what it’s like in Iraq now, and you will know why I feel that way:
Baghdad Burning

25% you say ? That means I have to pay 6.2JD each day just to get to work. Hmmm I have a solution that will kill 2 birds with 1 stone. If I completely stop eating junk food, that should take the weight from my stomach and leave it in my wallet where it belongs :D

but for what happen in Jordan i can see just TWO kind of ppl

UP and DOWN , there’s no middle thing any more …i met ppl who pay 25,000JD for curtains 5 Windows, and u know what they didn’t like it , so they ask to CHANGE IT ..

About public Transportation

it will be from 13% to 25% starting form today
depend on type

Reinhold Niebuhr: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

I don’t believe in God Mqabbani, so I have to find that serenity on my own. Good luck!

I’m waiting to see how much public transportation costs will rise as I don’t own a car either.

I don’t kid myself, I have to start 2 diets now. One nutritional and one financial.

in past when it come Free to to Jordan they take $$ , so they save A LOT,

man the Gov. waste many , what about the LIFE time salary for each minister the cars they take too, what about pay 100,000JD for buy clothes for some Aemam in al 2aqaf , what about sending support for other country that we need more than them , what about the Oil rock that we studied in 15 years ago that if the petroleum reach 25$ its worth to work with it , now its 88 and they say its not worth !!..

there’s A LOT of things that Gov. do and its meaning less i know that petroleum in whole word get high , but even so , the gov. should do more than that let it support petroleum and nothing else Just support the OIL , its CORE
effect ALL sectors

now i have to pay .5JD at least for Gardines BUS it is a BUS you know how much it going effect who use the public transportation ??

and the whole country productivity

i guess they should support the Oil and nothing else , LOOL as they support any thing else well !!!

Jordan has very few resources, and those support measures may have been well and good back when we were getting free oil from Iraq, but now that Iraq has been brought down to its knees, and has to grovel without even basic security. It’s is George W.s minders who are to blame, and not our Government. We’re on our own, and everyone has to fend for themselves. I guess we just have to grow a thicker skin.

and u know what as it say in Toloy blog

al mawate 5aroooooooooooooooooooooof so lets say Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Anyways, just stay single and you’ll be ok :D

Thanks for sending me the picture!

Even if it was a real fils. Is there anyone left in the country without electricity who is willing to pay for it ? A tent somewhere in the Ghoor, anything !

and whats funny about “fils el-reef” is that they take 4 full dinars, its totally not a fils at all
