ramadhan.. fasting

After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

Post by dill786 »

its been over 24 days since i last smoked weed or cigs and i have not coughed up any mucus infact i have not coughed at all, the only issues right now are insomnia, mood swings and lack of appetite even though i am only eating once per day coz of fasting...

i might keep it up post fasting aswell a i have not craved for weed or cigs, feel a lot better..

i noticed i can breathe a lot easier now too, overall awesome experience and i have lost over 7 pound in weight with no exercising and only eating once per day.

hey, kinda reminds of the Tommy Chong's line: "I haven't done any drugs or smoked a joint or nothing for a whole week. And I feel so good, I want to get high. You know what I mean?"

Anyways .. Cool. hope ya had 7 pounds to give :grin:

Of an unsustainable pratice?

All the year round

Start think of what you can do
In between
This compulsary anual...

Not to bother you during the fast but when you get around to it . Okay if I ask this stupid american question about your culture? I know you live in the UK but

Do the women wear colorful or decorative scarfs to be attractive if not attractive, distinct, memorable? Seems I seen quite a few colorful ones in iran when US relations were better.

I ask cuz I'm doing it now as a male. But it seemed something the women here would embrace. As Dr brix already owns it. Seems to me Muslims and Islamic culture should be way ahead on the game on that.

^youre not bothering me brother !!!! :)

are you talking about the hijab, the scarf the covers the head and leaves the face exposed? yeah its just decorative there so many diff styles that women wear in UK albeit its only 1% of Muslim women that actually wear them.. the jilbab is the full covering usually in black as the whole point is NOT to be noticed, but i have seen embroidery on them and diff styles i guess to make them stand out between there friends etc....

there's a " burkha" which covers the whole body and the only thing visible are the eyes.


i have seen some pics of the time when it was the Spanish influenza epidemic and lots of women were wearing the Islamic style face-covering..... i guess its not a big deal for the spanish women as 700 years rule of the moors in spain they have the hijab, jilbab, burkha in there past culture.

Cool!
Thanks bro.
Nothing like a little knowledge to quench a Thirst.
I feel there's a Rumi quote here about satiating a fast with feast of knowledge.
