Random act of Ramadan


Last night at the mall, I witnessed a random act of kindness. A man sneezed and an Emirate man said "bless you." This random act of kindness can only mean one thing...Ramadan has begun. A text message from the phone company a few minutes later wishes us "Ramadan Kareem" and verifies our thoughts...a new moon has been sighted. Now everyone starts their fast and becomes nice. Nice and hungry.

David left this morning with his thermos of coffee to be hidden in his desk and granola bars to snack on behind closed doors. I had to sit through my mani/pedi w/o my green tea. The holy month of Ramadan is already getting on my nerves.

LOL it is nice you are being polite and all but you can eat during Ramadaan if you are not Muslim. Islamic countries make up stupid laws that have nothing to do with Islam such as forbidding eating and drinking and chewing gum in public for non-muslims when actually, there is nothing in sharia that gives this law any credence.
