Lowtax banned me because he thought I was trolling by acting really stupid. I wasn't acting.

Please bitch about Ramadan. I would like the bitching ITT to be more multicultural.

First, a primer for the uninitiated: I am not Muslim, I just happen to be romantically involved with a Muslim because that's who I was stupid enough to fall in love with. Ramadan is Islam's ultimate holy holiday and is the equivalent of EXTREME LENT. How it works? Muslims are not allowed to eat or drink from sunrise to sunset for 30ish days. During the seasons with shorter days, it's tolerable. However, during the Summer when the days are longest and also hot and miserable this whole "holy" experience becomes a massive hassle and pain in the rear end.

Seriously summer Ramadan is bullshit. It's supposed to be this time of like spiritual holiness or whatever but so many Muslims just use it as a cock waggling thing to compete over who is the MOST BEST MUSLIM EVER. The lack of eating and drinking during some of the hottest days of the year makes my s/o cranky as gently caress and impossible to deal with.

But his family sends me gifts of clothes and gawdy-as-gently caress jewelery, the ones who know me better get me video games. But, I hate getting gifts and I never know what to buy anyone and am poor thus hate the holiday for so many reasons.

Eid is the last day of Ramadan, after which you can eat normally again and is kinda like Christmas in terms of its celebration, but not.


PS Pick if you are Slut Peddler chick thanks for hooking my sister Meg us with awesome comicker work. We (she and I) love you.

Sometimes words are just hard to let go because they get the point across to well. Like, I've tried to find a replacement for "retarded" but there's really no equivalent for something so stupid that it must have come from a mentally retarded person.

Pick I am very happy that you are back. There was a radio story about bees and it made me think if you.

Av the story about kids then depression is terrifying to me because I'm terrified of post-partum depression and also the possibility of having kids and then Mr. Monkey being like "ew this sucks now I am miserable". That is very scary and also deeply upsetting that he left his wife alone with the kids.

Suicide is difficult to deal with because you don't want to be pissed off at a dead person but it's the most logical reaction. My best friend's roommate (and friend) committed suicide and set it up so that my friend would find him. Luckily my friend sensed that something was wrong and called the police rather than going into the room. It really hosed with him and now I have useless anger and frustration towards a dead guy.

Anyway I had some empty spaces in my garden where seedlings failed so I got a jalapeño and an eggplant and I'm pretty happy about them.

less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age. according to the dictionary

i think it literally means "to be held back" by something or other. i think it is a perfectly appropriate word.

one of my nephews is mentally retarded. he's mentally and physically held back by his condition. he's 17 but looks like a 12 year old and functions like a 7 year old. he's wicked good at math though, probably better than me tbh

Correct, superficially Pick is a tiger and vaguely is a bee. However you don't know them like I do.

Just give it a chance. Go into it with wonder and an open mind. Understand it's a game that gets bad reviews, but that reviewers are looking for something you might not be. Realize the story you're playing is fundamentally different than that of DAO, thematically. And enjoy :3:

real talk hissing cockroaches are awesome critters

i had a job years ago where absolutely no one would touch them unless it was under penalty of being fired

they're super cool wingless buggers, but i guess their climbing abilities, and, uh, being cockroaches, upset most people

I'm a fairly recent fan and am now sad about the years of eggplant-eating that I've missed. I've gotten one little tomato so fat, but more are coming. As long as I get the obscene amount of zucchini promised by anyone who has ever had one zucchini plant, I will be happy with my garden.
