(sick i know..but some think this way...i've been told!!)<BR/>and both are not accepted in our countries...even non muslims respects others feelings and avoid eating/drinking and even smoking in public!<BR/><BR/>hope the next 2 weeks will be better for u :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198279558810640799.post-18308930712154692342007-09-25T08:27:00.001+03:002007-09-25T08:27:00.001+03:00ok i just reread my comment and all i can say is S...ok i just reread my comment and all i can say is Sorry!! ppl are trying to cheer you up and here I am with my depressing comment LOLbellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161162044043628799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198279558810640799.post-69531843541922902342007-09-25T08:27:00.000+03:002007-09-25T08:27:00.000+03:00Ramadan in Jordan is diff because the whole countr...Ramadan in Jordan is diff because the whole country gets into the spirit as opposed to just you and the few members of the Muslim community you happen to know. I guess we all miss Ramadan in amman because our families live there... while your fam has been based in Canada for so long, that all your close relatives, friends etc are all there and not in Jordan.<BR/>I've been eating alone almost every day since Ramadan started too :( my hubby can only come on weekends since he's working. It really does suck when you have your iftar all by yourself, its SOOO depressing :(bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161162044043628799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198279558810640799.post-42728152396067338212007-09-25T01:10:00.000+03:002007-09-25T01:10:00.000+03:00oh Sam Ramadan is gr8 bejam3a , and i guess if u r...oh Sam <BR/><BR/>Ramadan is gr8 bejam3a , and i guess if u rhubby here u will enjoy it much better , u need to get invited here and there<BR/><BR/>i hope the coming days be much better :)Qabbanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029669579324346583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198279558810640799.post-59006461439453828192007-09-25T00:00:00.000+03:002007-09-25T00:00:00.000+03:00Noone should have to eat alone during Ramadan.
