I pumped gas in my car today for the first time w/out hubby being there. Now i feel i can do anything.

I just had to make two trips up the 3 flight of stairs to bring up 7 bags of grocery items, i'm sooo tired now.

:melts:

Tell me about it! It was awesome this morning when I went out, then it started pouring. The rain was over in less than 3 minutes and since then the humidity is shooting through the roof! Just last week it was in the 50's (fahrenheit)...I remember clearly b/c we went to Six Flags and I froze my butt off on the rollercoasters

Apparently yesterday at 6am I started sleep talking, just mumbling at first. Then my husband heard really loud bangs and smashes etc outside and I started saying ''repent, repent, ask forgiveness'' and he said his shahadha lol.

Went for a 1.5 hour walk today, but it there was a nice wind and it was cooler too - 99F, shame about the sand blowing in peoples eyes.

it's nice tho alhamdulilah.

I went to walmart yesterday and this is what happened.. keep in mind the female cashier did not look Muslim at all.

Cashier: are you Muslim?
Me: err, yes. Are you?
Cashier: Yes. The yoghurt and the bagels are HARRRAM!
Me: excuse me?
Cashier: The enzymes are HARRAM!!
Me: It has a U on the bagels and a K for kosher on the yoghurt
Cashier: That doesn't make a difference, U and K mean nothing. It's HARRRAM. I can put it back for you
Me: No thank you. I've checked these things, they are halaal.
Cashier: So you want the items? You know gelatin is from pig and we can't eat it [pointing to the KOSHER gelatin on the yoghurt label]
Me: Yes but I eat kosher gelatin and there are halaal rice krispies that have gelatin from fish. Not all gelatin is pig.
Cashier: We can't eat gelatin. Are you sure you want the bagels and yoghurt?
Me: Yes I do and I'm in a hurry.

She just scanned the items and didn't look at me the rest of the time. Good God what a weirdo.

EDIT: For people who aren't familiar with U and K symbols they are found on products that are considered okay for Jews to eat (meaning it's free of alcohol or meat or has kosher meat. Not all K and U is alright so it's always best to check if you have doubts). I've started seeing some M (midamar halal) and H (for halaal) symbols on cheese too!

yuck.

Ugh, it's just a few specimens. Notice that the people who are actually married are more reasonable (with a few exceptions, but aren't there always exceptions?).

Yeah and even if they are joking - it's not appropriate.

Some people don't understand these concepts. It's a pretty common misunderstanding, especially amongst the elders. It is frustrating at times cause they can be very stubborn sometimes, but I try to stay calm and explain it to them. My dad's friend always bugs me about these things.

U = vegetarian friendly, right? K = kosher, but kosher isn't always halal so I'm iffy about such items. I recently noticed how many biscuits have halal written on them in arabic
