Originally posted by Red Sea: I bet those were for the purpose of Christmas. If so, then I advice to refuse them next time. We Muslims can eat Turkey on Thanks giving day or New Year's eve, because those are not religious celebrations. But a holiday like christmas which is as we all know a dulmi shouldnt' be even be felt in our community. If they say merry Christmas to you, just ignore them or just respond to them by saying 'hi'. ********************** Today I, am at work and I get double time. After work, I plan to have my usual friends with me to somewhere nice. Today i'm thinking some people are just a tad too extra. :rolleyes: Not taking part is one thing ...you may explain it to them that you dont celebrate it but aint no harm in saying 'happy holiday'. Dont you get well wishes on eid from non-muslims?? that said... Merry boxing day and happy new year!

^dont worry, its only pucca thats paying close attention. Today i'm taking out the trash and looking forward to a new year.

To make use of time wisely.

tomorrow i shall pay closer attention to ameen's posts. Inshallah.

oops

today i realized the majority of topics in the general and womens' section is about which gender is this or that... spring aint even here yet, whats with the early hunting season?

today i thought to murder my brother who has a thing for throwing things into the toilet...my shoes included. aint no harm in thinking it.

Fastest way to lose weight? Get sick...honest to god that will just shed weight in record time. Ofcourse i dont know how one goes about trying to get sick but ...there's that option right? on a more serious note...try eating in small portions and NEVER eat fast food *they're gross*, pack a lunch if you're going to work and make it light, add some fruits and some fruit drinks or a bottle of water. Never miss breakfast and never eat dinner or eat an early dinner and drink alot of liquids *water*. oh and stay away from soda *even if it says diet*, coffee, junk food and white bread *try whole wheat*... And remember to be patient, you cant just drop 30 pounds in a week *even when sick you cant do that*...so give it time. Good luck!

Define 'romantic'

If you're living in mn i'd understand you completely...the people there have vision problems that doesnt allow their eyes to move from one focus point to another. So you'll have excuse those folks, they cant help it. as for other places though...be plain, most ppl ignore the plain folks.

i hate this season...i hate how everyone smiles and nods like they know you, i hate how people go the extra mile to open doors for you and then you wonder where these people were when you really needed doors being opened. I hate the false cheery mood! argh! dont mind me, i'm just angry because i'm missing eid prayer to write an exam *couldnt they be generous about that and change the date?!!* eid mubaarak folks.

we have plenty of under 19 members, we just dont see them posting as much.

its not just in the uk my dear, you can buy any cabaya that's 'stylish' *and we do have quite alot of shops here in toronto* and just get it altered to fit perfectly. I personally cant be bothered with this, so i just buy a fitted long coat to go with the cabaaya.

i didnt know about this, thanks for mentioning it. I'll try fasting inshallah..

Starting this week I'm going to call up every cousin*non students*/aunt/uncle i have and remind them that i'm still alive and struggling with school and that because we share blood they should take the time to send me gifts to cheer me up; and if those gifts were in the form of money i'd love them forever...even more than i do now. Then on Eid day i'm goin to sit at home and watch as my account grows...Hopefully. *sigh* if that fails i'll just sob and complain about how one is suppose to be good to family and i'm sure that will get them sending money to poor dear pucca. This eid is ALL about money...

I'm trying,i just havent fully 'let' go...but i suppose planning to let go is just as important as 'actually' letting go...right? i'll get there inshallah. mashallah good for you dear, glad you're happier.

When i first saw the title i scrolled down without clicking it because i thought it said "choose green" and i figured it must be about american green cards. *what?! try sayin 'choose green' with a heavy somali accent...i swear it'll come out soundin like the title*. obviously i must have been on something that day.. um..yea guess thats not what it was about eh *gag*

Originally posted by Urban: alright then pucca, so you've used the toothpick, would you then eat the piece of meat (or whatever) that sticks to it? ofcourse not, you flick it at the person across from you...

^warm water is the worst thing you could use for cold hands and feet. I'm thinking any day now i might hop on a plane and start raising chickens somewhere in africa... its just too darn cold and windy to function!! and darn the weather man's inacurate reports...i swear he's been saying "and there's a chance of a storm" for the past WEEK! I wake up reading duah, i sleep readin duah, and say one through out the day... begging god it doesnt happen on a weekday.

sticking a finger in your mouth and getting rid of that peice of meat stuck in your teeth is gag inducing. Whatever happened to using a toothpick?

5'6 and 230lbs, heavens! if that aint 'broke' what is?!

^by now you must have fallen out of love with her eh... oh wells thanks dear. today i realised Disney lied...yes reality finally sunk in. Darn you disney!

"I can tell you right now that being chubby (alright, I'll say it...'fat') is not necessarily a hindrance. As you can see, I'm 5'6', about 230lbs , well-proportioned, well-shaped. I certainly don't spend my nights all alone, crying into my coffee . I have male friends, dates, etc. More than my thin friends. It all boils down to personality and confidence - and hell yeah, good looks. If you're thin and ugly, you're just ugly. If you're fat and pretty, hey - you've still got that pretty thing going for you. If you're ugly on the inside, you'll be unattractive to people on the outside. My friends stand to the side, twisting their fingers, so scared, so frightened and insecure that they can't even start a conversation with a man. I'd MUCH rather be in my size 18 pants and be able to laugh and have a great time, meet attractive Somali brothers and date them than to be a size 2 and too meek and mild to even talk to that cute guy in the elevator. This is what women don't want to hear. Your value and beauty doesn't depend on if your thighs rub together when you walk. Don't let yourself be manipulated with that b.s. As far as what you Somali men think, not all Somali men like skinny girls. It all comes down to personal preference. P.S. I'm in much better health (cholesterol, blood pressure, general well being) than nearly all the people I know." *gag* :rolleyes: unfreakin-real. the gas fumes musta messed her up real good...confidence my left foot!

she's only away for a WEEK. good god you'd think the way yall carry on the lady said she's leavin for good. sheesh! Enjoy your trip dear.

Today i felt very blind...
