Nope - don't drink. I'm actually allergic.

Allergic!

Heh...speaking of cursing and drinking like sailors, you should see the Library conferences I attend. We shock people in the hotel bars

had another meeting to attend. no-doz should be tax deductible!

It prolly is, in some way shape or form

Oh honey, nobody can curse like a librarian(particularly a NY librarian)!!! Of course I'll have to tone it down some when Govi gets here - when he was teaching me naughty Nepali words(behind closed doors no less) he actually blushed and whispered them in my ear - so cute!!!

The saddest thing is that these are adult women, and no matter what you say about their behavior, they will find any means to justify themselves in their own minds. They certainly won't admit their immaturity, cattiness, or lack of dignity and respect. I hope they stop and ask themselves, "Why AM I saying nasty and horrible things in a public forum about people that I don't even know?" but they will probably just become defensive and say something else ridiculously immature and tactless.

Someone had to say it. I was reading back a few pages and hey, dont cha all love how some get all dramatic and teary eyed?

I'm human. I have feelings. Seriously if I don't always send a pm or a congrats....it's cuz I'm going thru some ####### of my own. I'm just one woman.

I have a much better idea now of who my friends are and aren't. Ya'll aren't just screen people to me, I have been in your homes, you have been in mine, I have held your children.

I am just at a sad loss of words today. My feelings are hurt. I won't stop caring about my VJ buddies, but I sure will put a better spotlight on someone before calling them 'friend'.

hey jackie, chin up gal (as my granny would say), pick your friends like you pick your fruit

The Arabic thing. it isn't about the saying Insha'Allah. it's when someone who is not walking the walk or who just forces it in just to look cool... I just wish people would learn how to make it really fit. I think I made my point with my terrible random and awful edit of my own post where I stuck in insha'Allah, masha'Allah and all of those in the most FORCED manner possible. It's the forcing too which irks me. Let it flow. Use it right. People associate this forced usage with real Muslims who are using it right and mean it… and it loses the meaning and truth behind their feelings. It becomes empty. That makes me sad for those who mean it. So does this apply to you? only if you try to force it into your sentances thinking it gets you more points with people. It's not about points with poeple, or so I thought, i thought it was about meaning what you said.

Well that was a little better than "Been married for 3 years, not Muslim, never going to be, so not all of them turn. Actually, quite a few of us don't. Maybe you don't notice us because we're not posting panicky asinine posts riddled with our ####### Arabic. "

Of course you didn't meant to cut anyone down by posting that though right?

With all that has been said.

I don't think its being careful of whom we pick as friends...people come in and out of your life for reason. Take what you've experienced and learn and move on. But we ourselves need to be more consistent in our personalities and treatment of our friends. There are three sides to every story as they say...

Don't expect friends to stay friends long if you don't help grow the relationship and respect it. That includes keeping confidences, treating them like you'd like to be treated yourself and most of all forgiving them when they admit they have messed up.

Lack of forgiveness makes for a very bitter person.

Peace

I guess when they *honestly* admit they messed up and admit what they did was wrong instead of rewording it and making it look like something it really wasn't, then I can think about forgiving.

This was a very interesting experience for me because I am now able to weed out a few people that I thought were genuine. I guess we could look at it as an early Eid gift so that instead of continuing certain relationships which were fake to begin with I can now focus on the more real ones....ones that won't outright make a game of who's husband is a sleeper cell, etc. I'm sure this is true for more than just me as well.

In any event I'm going to go back to my Ramadan bubble now. It was a lot nicer in there.

Well, I have to agree on a personal note, a Ramadan bubble is always more comforting.

However, it is nice here too Bridget. I most certainly do not know about the subject above you are referring to. So I can not judge your situation or others, I'd never try. My statement was more general that that. But I can almost guarentee an even nicer experience if you use that neat little button called "ignore user". I adore it! I have used it on a few occasions and still to this day have no idea what those people write I just see their name on a page.

I'm very sorry you've had such a bad experience here. I hope that in the future it only gets better!

Nothing is real.

I MISS YOU!
