Informative and hilarious muslim lolcats. (I don't get most of the jokes, but they still made me smile).

I can do a muzlim lolcat explanation thread, if anyone is interested.

I read a ton of muslim blogs. One of my favorites is put together by a dear sister of mine who lives in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Please don't snark on it - it's not really snarkworthy - but rather is an interesting and spiritual insight into the life of a devout muslim woman and the 2 holy cities.

She takes pictures of street kitties in Mecca and Medina for me too :)

IMHO, one of the best muslim blogs out there is 30mosques - 30mosques.com/ - where a group of american muslims spend all of Ramadan traveling to 30 different mosques in 30 different states. They started it last year and did it again. They're not fundie, but instead give a view of the diverse community that is the american muslim ummah.

The brass crescent awards are a good jumping off point into what is voted the "best" in the muslim blogosphere. I have been snubbed every year, for lack of a crazy cat lady category :violin:

UmmSqueakster,

I'm going to forward any warning notes I get from my boss right to you. I spent pretty much the whole work day today going thru your blog! LOL Great stuff - truly! I can't wait to get home & start on those links. :)

One small request: Can you please put a glossary for those phrases that you use a lot - the ones that are either in front or behind a statement? Thanks and please keep up the great blogging!

Love your avatar, btw! I *heart* Neville, even if he is a Gryffindor!

*Edited for riffle.

Ha! I'll forward it on to my boss :)

I'm actually th_ravenclaw-smarter.jpg?t=1241830707 but since there aren't a lot of three dimensional characters outside of Gryffindor and Slytherin, Neville is my favorite. Plus, he rocked Deathly Hallows P2

re: phrases, here are a few online dictionaries. I can't vouch for every word and definition in each, but in general they're good

If you have any you can't find, just ask and I'll be happy to define. I always have a heck of a time when I read Chassid and OTD (off the dersch) blogs and can't for the life of me figure out what the yiddish means.

      Planning on scheduling my ankle surgery around Trump's Georgia trial - if I'm forced to be off my feet, I might as well be entertained.

      Stupid loneliness!
      Kid 1 went back to college (yeah! But sad foe me, she stayed with me all summer. It was nice to start a new phase in our mother/daughter relationship)
      Zero prospects on dates. (Not that I have tried online dating, scared of that but I have reached put to a new group at church, etc.
      I asked a friend to go to dinner the other night so I wasn't eating alone, again. The friend had plans, all my friends always have plans. I see stuff on social media, I'm never invited. I'm single, I'm the 3rd or 5th wheel.
      My one parent friend at kid 2's fall sport won't be there because their daughter made varsity (Yeah for her!!! Seriously happy for her. Sad for me for another sport I basically sit alone, did that majority of spring and summer sporting events.)
      And now I'm crying as my mom told me 2 different funny stores that former teachers remembered about my twin. Both stories were about how they got a crack out of my twin's antics (my parents went to a funeral today and saw former colleagues). Teachers remember me (after all I was a twin and teachers' kid) but none would have memorable stories of me. 
      I feel invisible. 
      Don't worry, this will pass,  it always does. I just need a pity party for a few days. I'm not in anyway going to harm myself. As lonely as I am, I have a very full life I (usually) love. I just needed to vent and cry for a moment. 
      If you are still reading this, thanks Fjer. 😊

      Absolutely awful about the fires on Maui. In 2019, I stayed in Lahaina. I liked to sit on the sea wall, which is the only structure left now, and watch the water. People are receiving help, but many had to leave pets. Please donate to the Maui Humane Society, which is leading efforts to find, treat, and reunite pets.

      Nebraska’s new football coach, who is involved in an organization called Man Up Ministries, labels certain players “Alphas” and sometimes “extreme Alphas” and the local paper has a nice piece on why people objecting to the term “alpha male” are wrong and it has a “nice ring”. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
