Letter to Julia 20131029

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

This matter of how you maintain your clothes is actually a very serious one, Julia dearest.  It needs to be resolved.  The reason for this is because you are Boss Model, living a married life in the public eye.  I want you to age beautifully, and you shouldn't have to dry your expensive lingerie outside on a line.  Worst comes to worst, we'll string up a line inside the house.  But I have seen ads in the paper for electric clothes dryers, but they are not that many.  The other option is to help create a market in Asia for propane powered clothes dryers.  Propane tanks here are very common: every house has at least one, and they are at least twice the size of propane tanks in the USA and Europe.  They supply propane to gas-powered stove tops via a regulator, which creates an even flow of gas.  Now if I were to buy a gas dryer in the USA and get a plumber to hook it up to a propane tank, he would refuse.  But if I were to negotiate with Maytag or Whirlpool and/or the like to design and build a dryer that runs on propane tanks to be marketed in Asia, that would be more realistic, especially if I have money and influence.  I don't think it's too far fetched.  What do you think?  While they're at it, they might as well make a propane-powered oven.  Could be a billion dollar business!  I just want you to do your laundry in convenience.

Ah, did you enjoy those TV shows I asked you to watch, Erin dearest?  I have a feeling that we have similar tastes in TV programming.  When you join this family inshaAllah, we will be watching a lot of sports, but I think we can have 2 TVs going at the same time.  Multi-tasking couch potatoes!  Now check out the Discovery Channel's "Unsolved History: the death of Marilyn Monroe".  My theory is that Marilyn made a disgusting mess when she killed herself, and the people who loved her moved her body around in order to clean her up, so the body would be found in a more dignified state.  What do you think?

Qur'an 20131029

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

56.  Say, "I am forbidden to worship those, other than Allah, whom you call upon."  Say, "I will not follow your vain desires.  If I did, I would stray from the path, and be not of the company of those who receive Guidance."

57.  Say, "For me, I'm on a clear Sign from my Lord.  But you reject God.  What you would see hastened, is not in my power.  The Command rests with none but Allah.  God declares the Truth, and God is the Best of Judges."

58.  Say, "If what you would see hastened were in my power, the matter would be settled at once between you and me.  But Allah knows best those who do wrong."

The Cattle 6:56-58
----------------------------------------------------------

I am forbidden to worship those, other than Allah, whom you call upon.

I will not follow your vain desires.  If I did, I would stray from the path, and be not of the company of those who receive Guidance.

For me, I'm on a clear Sign from my Lord.  But you reject God.  What you would see hastened, is not in my power.  The Command rests with none but Allah.  God declares the Truth, and God is the Best of Judges.

If what you would see hastened were in my power, the matter would be settled at once between you and me.  But Allah knows best those who do wrong.
