If the friend were me, I'd laugh once. But then it's torture, so I'd either just pretend to lol or just block you.
that is probably why I will disappear from this thread during fasting hours.

The thought of working tomorrow already makes me regret not booking time off. Gotta get that H2O in proper good like.
As for weight, expecting to lose 2-4KG. last year was around the same, and the year before that was even more. Could do with keeping that weight probably.

People gouge themselves after breaking fast, the hours where there is no fast, and then at the time you would eat before fast. They eat so much, in such a quick fashion the body gains weight.
Essentially, since you eat so much shit for a short period of time, you body breaks it down, but has no follow up water/healthy stuff so the fat, carbs etc just sit there. It does not help at all that the (usually) greasy, high carb, high fat fried oily food people eat during fasting gets consumed during the time I described above.
Add to this the people who fast and don't work usually don't do much throughout the day apart from sleep/watch tv/sleep/play games/sleep/read Qu'ran etc. The body does not burn off the high calorie intake.
Which leads to weight being gained.

Are there any muslim moms on here with experience of breastfeeding and Ramadhan? Did you fast or not? I've heard fasting can significantly decrease your supply.

NYGaf, anybody around here wanna like meet up somewhere for iftar one day or something? Or something like that you know I'd be down for it.
tl;dr ---> skip
My living situation is pretty nuts. For half a year I've literally been a duffle bag boy; packing a duffle bag with a week worth of clothes to come down and squat in the city, and then go back home every Friday. So I came back tonight, got into the apartment, then
decided it'd be okay just as long as it didn't get to 8:25, which is the NY maghrib time, I guess coz that's when ramadan officially begins. Here, anyway.
It is kind of fucked up. gaffers have noticed it in a few, threads, here. I made a really personal thread last year too, and I think that was after last ramadan. Rusty eventually made an OT for the ummah (that's what we would call it right?) and my personal life boiled into that thread as well. But I'm planning to just stop for this 30 days.
Anyways, I don't mean to bring my personal life into here as well - we all have our problems. I've shared a little about it in the past and that's why I mentioned it again. We all have our problems, in our lives. And we can choose to just keep them personal.

Ramadan kareem!
Easy mode here, but I just pee 3 time and it isn't noon yet :/
I hope this year I could fully control my anger to the level when I don't have to think about it

Worst timing ever. How do muslims in Scandinavia handle fasting when Midsommar is approaching and the sun never sets?

Lets do this. First suhoor of 2016.
Yeah man, we outchea.
It's a kind of dry sweet. There are variations of it but the ones I love are the powdered ones you see in the photo.
Its the worst (and by that I mean the best) sweet because its so deceptive.
Rasmalai, jalebi and the like are very sweet so you're satisfied with eating just half a piece. These balushai's are dry and only slightly sweet so you can eat a hundred of them before you start getting disgusted. Its the worst man. I've eaten boxes full of these things like a monster.

Woh. Whatcha do in Israel/Palestine?
4 hours? Whereabouts in the world are you?
Some follow the times of the nearest Muslim country where there is sunset/sunrise - in that the salaat prayers are estimated this way too. Some follow Mecca times.

I weep for the Muslim's who have to go through the Ramadan in the heat some countries will have this summer.
Respect for them, all though I find it slightly stupid and unsafe for them not to drink nor eat when your body surely needs it 200% more.

fixed month. in hijri calendar, ramadan is the 9th month
Well, depending on the country chances are they mostly stay inside their houses with the AC set on max and sleep all day. I'm not kidding about that. Those that have work have their schedule cut and work six hours max each day. With the exception of super stores like Walmart most stores close during the morning and only open for 2-3 hours in the afternoon and open again at night. Same for restaurants, who only open for 3-4 hours for fatoor and open again at midnight for sahoor.

While this isn't about the heat, there's a reason why there's always an increase in traffic-related deaths in Dubai during Ramadan. A lot of people rush home for iftar, too.

Ah, I see. But I guess that is only for countries where the Islamic religion is the basic way of life, right?
