@Italian_Buju I can't even imagine what you went through, my heart breaks for you. And I hope your degu gets better.
@pofoster21 What a heartbreaking story as well. So sorry
Here's a confession: My husband plays games on his iPad. His newest game is Hay Day where you virtually take care of a farm. He was gone this weekend and I picked up his iPad to look something up and an alert said "your farm animals miss you" I decided I had to look in on them. I am now hooked on Hay Day. I feel ridiculous when I play and super ridiculous admitting it.
Edited: Because I didn't want to forget anyone
I'm completely addicted to Hay Day myself. I'm on level 54 now, and I've been playing for almost a year, multiple times daily!
My husband teases me about it, and whenever I have my face stuck in my tab, he'll go... "Checking on your chickens again, huh?"
No need to feel ridiculous, it's an awesome stress-reliever since it's so... Brainless? Kind of like coloring for me, both are destressors. At least, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
Thanks, that makes me feel better! I don't know how long my husband has been playing it but he's on level 20 or 21. I checked on it this morning and almost didn't get my workout in, smh. But the good news is, I'm not mindless eating after I put my daughter to bed, I'm harvesting my crops. Still..smh
When I wake up to pray my first prayer of the day (at dawn) I tend to pick up my phone and start playing it after I pray, instead of going back to sleep. Next thing I know, the sun is up and it's time to get up, but I want to sleep more after losing two solid hours (that I could have spent sleeping) playing the game and then checking this thread!
For Curiosity's sake I must know when are the prayers times?
They follow the sun. For clarity, I'll give you their names first: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.
In the winter, I can expect Fajr to be around 5:30 AM. Currently, it's at 3:15 AM. Fajr is the prayer that's called when the first thread of light rises over the horizon and the sky begins to lighten, and the prayer time ends as soon as the sun begins to rise.
Dhuhr is the noon prayer, which is prayed right after the sun has reached its zenith, or its highest peak in the sky. The time for Dhuhr ends when the time for Asr begins. Dhuhr is around 11:30 AM right now.
Asr time begins when the sun is at a certain position in the sky (not too sure how to explain it), and can basically be measured by the time of day when the length of the shadow of a given object is equal to the length of the object itself. Asr time ends when the sun begins to turn orange-ish, but before it starts to set. At the moment, Asr prayers begin around 3:10 PM.
Maghrib time begins as soon as the sun has set completely, but the afterglow is still visible. Maghrib time ends when the afterglow is completely gone, which is when the Isha prayer begins. Maghrib currently falls at 6:30 PM in Saudi Arabia.
Isha prayer lasts until the midway point between dusk and dawn, so currently at 10:45 PM.
Thank you for explaining! I've always wondered but never knew how to properly bring it up without being offensive, errr if I offended you. SORRY!
Don't apologize! The reason so many people know so little about Islam is because they're so afraid of offending Muslims by asking. You're welcome to ask anything that you'd like to know, and I'm always glad to share information. The more we know about each other's cultures, religions, and customs, the less hate there would be between us all, don't you agree?
I completely agree!! I could just hug you right now
I totally agree too! I have found the different lives fascinating on this thread, and how similar besides the religious aspects your life is to mine. Its eye opening!
I have never played Hay Day, but it sounds like Farmville. I don't every play games on my phone or on my computer. I have never gotten into it, and its like TV to me...I'd rather read (or to be frank these days...check this thread!).0 -
That's funny!I'm glad a few of you are with me on the phonetics/accents/etc - it's so fun to listen to the differences.
And the TV stuff too - I get made fun of lots in my house because I PVR stuff like "Too Cute" which is literally just an hour of litters of puppies doing cute things while a baritone narrator says things like "Labrador Retrievers love water, but at 5 weeks old, runt of the litter Stanley is still not sure about the feeling of water under his paws. His sister Susie gives him a helping push into their very own puppy-sized swimming pool." I am an adult and I read a lot of Serious Literature and am politically-aware and am not generally subject to arrested development...but I JUST LIKE BABY ANIMALS A LOT OKAY?

A sadness fills my soul
And in solitude my fears
Just become so overwhelming
That my eyes fill with tears
I feel so alone inside
Like nobody cares
No matter how many people are around me
There is a loneliness that I can’t bear
Its everywhere I go
No matter where I run
The sadness seems to follow
And it blots out the sun
An endless cold descends upon me
As I sit here all alone
Everyone’s gone, they left me here
And the solitude cuts me to the bone
And over the lonely horizon
The sun rises in shining rays
Out of a cold and lonely darkness
Has begun a brand new day
This is beautiful and sad. I get down feeling sometimes, but I don't think I have ever felt this depth of depression. I'm sorry.0 -
Sorry to hear you're struggling. Hope tomorrow is better for you.Susieq_1994 wrote: »I know that this isn't exactly the place for it, but since everyone has been so supportive about my confessions of depression and anxiety, I thought I'd share a poem that I wrote about it a while back.

I just cut them in cubes and toss them with one tablespoon of olive oil (for 4 people, one tsp if it's just one potato for me) then bake until brown. Or sautee them in the pan.0 -

I agree whole heartedly! I'm always curious about world religions, I grew up Roman Catholic so our traditions are pretty basic in my opinion haha.
I feel like part of the problem is this whole fear mongering situation with ISIS etc BUT I won't open that can of worms
I get so mad when it comes to ISIS and their un-Islamic, evil, twisted form of ruling. They're what the world immediately thinks of when the word "Muslim" comes up nowadays AND I HATE THAT SO MUCH.
And I have to admit that I bear a hefty amount of resentment towards the Saudi government for the same reason... All idiots, and all representing the millions and millions of Muslims worldwide. Just so.. UGH. -_-
You. I respect. You're so correct!
And I'm not even a liberal Muslim! (I hate that term) But seriously, I feel like everyone thinks that only the so-called liberal Muslims think that ISIS are evil. :-/ My mother-in-law is a Deen (Islamic Studies) teacher, and she knows they're evil and condemns them. My sister is an extremely religious Muslim who covers her face, and she knows it, too, and condemns them. I'm a fully practicing, covering Muslim and I condemn them with every iota of my being, along with any other act of terrorism. Muslims aren't evil, and it makes me sad that so many people don't know that almost exclusively because of stupid ISIS and the idiotic Saudi government. 
Star fact: ISIS is now blowing up Muslim mosques here in Saudi Arabia. The one they tried to blow up last Friday is thirty minutes away from my house. Because apparently they don't like their definition of Islam. :-/
That has to be so frightening for you sometimes. Be safe!0 -
It took me three WHOLE DAYS, but I caught up the 2,300ish posts I missed whilst busy over the late part of last week/the weekend/most of monday.
Geesh people0 -

I confess that even though I have very little money to spare this week, I'd very much like to go shopping for some new workout clothes because I know they'll make me feel better about my body and my progress thus far. I'm fully aware of how sad it is that I have to rely on material goods to make me feel better about my progress, but I've been struggling a lot lately.0

#2- I totally have the hots for my co-worker/supervisor and I struggle with the moral dilemma of holding to my own personal code of ethics and keeping my feelings(lust) to myself.
Yeah...I'm totally dating my coworker/supervisor now....
We are doing well at keeping work and our outside social activities separate.
Judge me if you must, but it is not against policy and things are going great so far. Taking it day by day.
That being said, I can never go back to dating *kitten*. This man values my time, responds promptly to texts and phone calls, and makes me feel desirable and wanted. Now that I have had someone who treats me with respect and kindness, I can never go back to anything less.
Confession (though I don't keep it from anyone). I left my high school sweetheart after six years together. We owned a house (I was young, 21 at the time). I left him for my boss.
The boss man and I dated for two months and he proposed (he then had to fire me) but got me a job elsewhere). We married a year later to the day of his proposal and will be married for six years this year.
It just may work out for you (and I hope it does!! )

I would quite like to do a martial arts class, but it always seems to be lots of 6 year-olds when I've taken my boys.

Good advice, there. Please take care of yourself.krissyreminisce wrote: »Confession: I'm starting to get annoyed with eating my two snacks at work. I'd rather ignore the hunger and headaches than eat.
I also have to send my mother a photo of every meal so she knows I'm eating. Though she has asked me twice if I'm lying to her about whether or not I actually eat it. (I do eat my food, btw).
Is the actual food you dislike? The interruption to your work day? Or eating period? I know you are struggling with this so I'm just wondering what specifically the issue is so that maybe we can offer some help. Maybe just drink 2 quick protein drinks in place of those 2 snacks? Quick, easy, yet nourishing.
Remember, you just reached your new PR - the better you take care of yourself the sooner you'll reach your next one!
