I'm guessing the headline sounds like this:

Guy in cowboy hat dodge traffic with balls

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

A heart warming thank you article...

Just wanted to stop by and congratulate everyone who's volunteered as a part of this noble cause... May Allah bless you all and grant you with many such opportunities... Ameen! :)

Hero...

Everything is fine, but you dont bring that ball scratching again in the forum.. :P

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

Uhhh...you all didn't 'drink' before I came?

You should've shared me some of those so that I can also make an error. ;-p

...or maybe it's the 'dates'. I haven't open it yet that's why I'm still in control of my name-pulling. *winks*

Sir Winston Churchill

two QL iftar's volunteers pictured in today's newspaper ....

LOL

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

Oh the amendment is done...

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

now your days are coming closed to when you will be asked to eat more dates .... lol

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

I'm going to Al Gharriya for night camping with some friends (non-QL)...

I still didn't get the HOT part of dates :S

Xray...

I'm talking about the one gonna be here after 1 week... :P

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

Congrats to you all on another job well done. Sounds like all went smoothly, thanks to all of your efforts.

Speed, thank you for sharing a little bit of Pitstop's story. We need to hear MORE about people like her, instead of all the usual stereotypes we are bombarded with.

Pitstop, I can see how much your generosity is appreciated by everyone.

Eid Mubarak to all :-)

ok i am juming in... what do u mean casanova bt two PITSTOP... do u mean one that we know and the other who will be here after an year...!!!

PITSTOP....I will check the shop where Malang notified...

thanks for your information...hope next Ramadan will have Harees...

In that case i'll take my words back...:) can't compete with hero

No Probs PITSTOP... now ill be desperately waiting for next Ramadan, and i hope Insha Allah there will be two PITSTOP by the next Ramadan ... so there will be double enjoyment.

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

lol Malang that sounded like something heero would say. Saving.

There are local kitchens that do sell Harees. I'll ask for you if you want - the locations.

I would offer, but its only made in Ramadan - and today is the last day that we have it made.

Unless you want it tonight?

You can buy it next to Q-tire Shoprite.....Airport road but it won't be as tasty as it was yesterday....and won't be free either :)

Don’t worry Pitstop, I’m not coming for any feast tonight, I was just making your blood pressure go high…

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

PITSTOP....I believe Harees is home made one...any chance of buying this in the market, if so, please tell me the place

You guys are coming today for a FEAST, at PITSTOP?

Why wasn't I invited?

My problem is I even cant edit my own thread ... otherwise the biggest mistake I made after eating Harees is the name I wrote Xonic, was suppose to be Khanan...

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

yes .. It's the meat that is beaten into the Harees ..

It's special.

Something is really wrong here SPEED bro.....its MALANG not MALAG :)

Speed...Harees tastes very well...need to know about this more...anybody have any idea about the prepartion...

PITSTOP Ya it was intoxicated... now I am addicted to it ... coming to your place in the evening for the feast....

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

did u put something in HAREES purposly??

QLGV ....

hey Pit ... it's QL V G wake up !!!!!!

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

I''m following SPEED and sticking to QLVG ;p

casanova has the HAREES effect.

Casanove says its QLVC and PITSSTOP says its QLGV ... Something is wrong there ...or am still sleepy :)

Hey guyzzz....

My goodness.... whos online????? :-)

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

You're coming to Pit Stop? What time?

suhoor ... prayed fajr and tried sleeping again for few hours but could not sleep ... now waiting to go home and directly will land on my bed ;-)

Hope to see you tonight @ PITSTOP ...

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

and guess what I did first..open QL first...lol

Good morning QLGV's !!

I had a good night and morning sleep. I just got up :D ..

Everyone is more than welcome - and the time spent was Worth it :)

Oh ...My apologies..... I'm always confused in Khanan and Xonic...

So a BIG Special Thank To KHANAN from ME...

Speed, I dont know whats the exact problem but i cant find edit tab on the thread, can you please ask one of the mods to correct it???

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

Kindly note that it was Khanan not Xonic ;-)

Also in your title QLVC is wrong it's QLVG (Qatarliving Volunteers Group)

please do the correction thru Edit mode ... if you are not able to do it let me know ...

Thanks

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

Salma,

As long as they are not pissing in Speed's Laps...

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Hmnnnn…..I posted the thread and kept waiting for the responses, but couldn’t find enough Qlers to discuss, so went to bed.

But now I think you all were waiting for me to go….

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

i got it aljie "ali"... was really confused while writting the names... :)

today's experience was phenomenal by all means to me. I thank you guys all for making it happen. Special thanks TO SPEED, MALANG, LUCKY, AZILANA, PITSTOP, BALLINKG, & XRAY. PITSTOP, I can't thank you enough, big congratulations for your next week event, plz dont post my sweaty pics.

btw XRAY, aljie is pronounced as ali.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt

I am sorry I could not be there today, but reading from all the posts, it looks like it went really well. Looking forward to the next charity event.

Aisha-Taweela

"A Deleted post"...about the dead baby found at LULU Hyper...maybe you could confirm which newspaper it was published...

That's nice .. :)

I see topics and make comments...it's a nice site too and from what I know, some QLer are also active there like AbuAmerican, Nadt, Scarlett and Indo-Rachel...

yeah I saw that site .. but why double post ??

are the users the same?

dunno why I got tired of our event. Used to volunteer stuff the whole day back home several times. Maybe I hadn't had another one fer years and just got pumped up back again...

Sooo...you're...PITSTOP?? ;-P

Why...!!!!!! What’s wrong and needs explanation... ok if you don’t believe me then go ask your doctor, are dates hot in nature? Then go to your friend and ask the same question... sure you will get the same YES answer...

do you really wanna start ?

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

like the awful smelling fruit called DURIAN?...csi

If so...PITSTOP, you better stay away from them for the next 2 weeks or should you do otherwise??...hehehehehe

now i need some explaining ..

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

:-) dates are hot in nature speed ... everybody knows and everybody like... come on...

to stop my nicotine craving...I felt guilty with SPEED scolding me about my smoking...lol

I'm trying, SPEED...but I gained weight again...so I guess I'll stop/quit after EID...lol

'Dates are very hot' ;-)

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

yes - drink Laban while eating them. Yuuuuuuuuuum ...

upset with your smoking ............ i thought you stopped forever ..... don't forget you have joined my QLSQ (Qatar Living Smoking Quitters) ;-O

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

Don’t eat them altogether … dates are very hot...

As long as it's food, I'll taste and eat anything. ;-P

"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach

tried all three...

but I was surprised that heero was a different person after all...but still he has that charisma offline (in person)...you know, makes you do a double-take...lol

We hope to see you again in future QLVG activities...

BTW...those "dates" are great...I'm enjoying them tonight instead of "smoking"...hehehehehe

to worry about getting 'Harees' specially in Ramadan...

In Doha this is my second Ramadan and today after one year i got to taste the Harees and must say it was one of the best I had eaten till date .....

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

mentioned ... it was yuuuuuummy

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

I also would like to thank Pitstop for her hospitality today and for the food. It was a experience for me and even though she forced me to eat some of it I am glad i did try all the dishes:-)

I am so sorry i didn't come Speed.

I was feeling a little poorly and was lying down.

Apologies again and i really admire everyone's work.

It was a pleasure to meet you .. :) You were very energetic today, I think it was from knowing that Hero was attending, right?

hhehehe Mashallah ilkhair wayed .. Never worry about my home. They were more than happy to contribute to such a wonderful effort.

If you want SPEED, I can arrange for a HAREES dish for tomorrow - if your wife would like.

Let me know.

so delish...it's been a wonderful experience and I'm so overwhelmed by your hospitality and kindness.

Thanks a lot for welcoming us...

Blackhawk... dont worry we will put you in next time... but you need to spare some time from your busy schedule... free of cost :)

i think they have asked her to cook some food for them now ;-)

She must be busy cooking ... lol

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

that was excellent dinner... with som many new tastes... thank you PITSTOP for arranging at such a short notice and what happened at your home.. did they also arrange something to eat for themselevs??

speed, please add me for future projects without even asking me ...i hereby confirm my participation physically or morally for volunteer tasks initiated by QL members.

did you bring some for us ... I told her you will get soon some nice dishes next week ;-)

most of the time my family sits with me on QL to read all the stuff ......... specially my son

He normally enjoys the 'Avatar'

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

aawwwww how sweet :)

Hello all .. did you have dinner?

my son is sitting beside me as he just noticed your name 'PITSTOP' and he is asking me 'PAPA is this same shop name we went yesterday' ;-)

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

As soon as i entered the house, call my transport to do more works....just came home and i found this thread...

At least, i met true people on this activity, all their hearts are shinning with sincereness.......

More power to QLVG

Oh what an entertaining day today was.

I would like to thank SPEED and Xray for welcoming me into the group. Next, I need to thank all the contributors and volunteers. Without you, today wouldn't have been a success.

Hero was a great entertainer and it was fun having him around. The full stop that he threw out at the last moment - yes did keep me speechless. Thank you.

I was honored to have you all for last minute iftar at Pit Stop and I'm glad it turned out well. Inshallah the future projects are as successful as this one.

All the best .. :)

Oh yaaa .. where was she???

Thankyou Novi...

Sir Winston Churchill

hey Novi .... Thanks for your support and kind coordination :-)

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

touched his most sensitive QL topic about 'Balls Scratching' in the closing ceremony .... lol

He really shut PTISTOP mouth for few mins ;-)

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

BTW, Speed...

We should not forget Hero as an entertainer; who made the mission go light and PITSTOP go crazy...lolzzz...

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

who runs a Business under the flagship of 'PITSTOP' ... to tell you the truth I have never met such a business minded young woman, who has specialized in depth knowledge into 'SPORT MOTORBIKES' spare parts and accessories and all these items came from world Top Brands and she is the dealer of those brands in Qatar.

Now the story start from here that when I start this 'Iftar Distribution' Campaign and when I received tremendous response from the Qlers and QLVG members I was bit stuck and start thinking that I have started the campaign and what if people my 'Collection Point' is flooded with Donations such as water bottles/ juices/ cookies/ dates etc.... where am gonna store those items .. even though the storage was not really the problem.. but the main problem i was facing to keep the water and juice bottles in a cold storage and this is was discussing with Casanova, although he offered me his DEEP FREEZER option but I told him next day people will be licking the water and juice bottles as LOLLY POPS ... lol.... Next day when I logged into QL I got a PM from PITSTOP suggesting why don't we use her shop for our Volunteer activities such as storing the items and doing the packing stuff, when we visited her shop and I notice that she has 2 Fridges in her shop and later we stored all the 'Iftar Packets' in both the Fridges ... Alhamdulilah we distributed Cold water and Cold juices to the people :-)

This is how Allah send her to help QLVG :-) (Mash'Allah)

We pray to Al Mighty for her long, healthy and successful life in Business and to her new destination. (Ameen)

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

Speed,

I remember you raised your concern for a refrigerator to store the distribution stuff on telephone, and very next minuet I got your call informing that PITSTOP has offered you a refrigerator, that’s why I called her an angel from no where, she has shown us a real Qatari hospitality.

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

Such suggestions and efforts are always welcome Azi.

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

I’m agreed with u Azi... It was all worth doing, and Pitstop's suggestion is underlined, Insha Allah we will try our level best to do this next year as well on a large scale...

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill

she would like to help out doing more volunteer work for the less fortunate people here in Doha. a few ideas were given as we were there packing those iftar goodies.

Maybe we could think of something that we could do for others...

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

continuous support to QLVG ...

Yes I agree with you that PITSTOP came from no where as an Angle to us and the way she offered her help to QLVG will be unforgettable ... THANK YOU PITSTOP :-)

The Iftar you arranged for the Volunteers was just great ... i liked 'Haris' and 'Kharoof' it was yummy ;-)

We are proud to have you in QLVG and look forward for your continuous support ...

Also, I would like to say special Thank to All the Volunteers for their efforts and support they put in to make this event a successful. No doubt without the support of you people it was not possible ...

I am happy that everything went very smooth and as per planned.

Our success was our unity and team spirit.

JazakAllah Khair (God Bless You All)

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

The smiles on the faces of those opened their vehicle windows and received the iftar goodies were worth alll the efforts done...

Thanks SPEED for organizing this drive. And I agree with PITSTOP...we should do this by the next Ramadan...

Congrats to everyone :-)

Do give more details... a really nice cause...

Thanks buddy.......

Thanks for all your hard work involved in the drive too.
