Burger! Burger! Burger!

 
Hi Natty!  How lovely it is to see you again, my beloved.  That is some nice jewelry too.  I want that droplet of water running down your chin.  I'll mix it in my shaved ice!  I hope you're keeping safe and healthy, Mrs. Global.  Don't worry so much, we'll be fabulous inshaAllah.  It's going to get busier, so just relax and pace yourself.

I had breakfast at the mosque yesterday.  I mean, I broke fast.  Someone brought in what they called "kebabs", which were really pitas stuffed with meat and sauce.  I made some burgers for my pre-dawn meal.  Well, not exactly burgers.  I'm really into tortillas right now, so I made quesadillas stuffed with ground beef, diced cashews and chopped Enoki mushrooms.  Here's what my "burgers" looked like:

Twice the fashion

 
Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me because I love you.  How's the family?  Are having your brother wear that black hat too?

Some women manage to stay beautiful when they get older.  That didn't happen to Kate Moss, even though she can still get gigs.  Her doppelganger looks good, though.  Short but good.  It would be tough to find your lookalike, Natty.  They can't match that classic side profile.

Movie night

 
Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me because I love you.  Yes it is fasting month, but don't worry so much.  The first week is usually tough, but afterwards it's not such a big deal.

It's movie night again!  Watch a movie with me!  "Nope" (2022).   This movie is a masterpiece.  I haven't loved every single minute of a movie since "Mulholland Drive".  I do want to point out an imperfection: no mice and no cats!  Every ranch has mice, thus every ranch has cats.  Right?  And cats would be very sensitive to Jean Jacket's activity.  I know: Jean Jacket ate them all.  It swooped down from the sky and picked off all the tiny mice and cats one by one without anyone noticing.

Not interested

 
Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me because I love you.  I don't want those other girls!  I want my Natty!

Interested?

 
Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me because I love you.  I miss your blue eyes.  I'm sure you are busy, so please keep safe and healthy.

I'm sure some of you folks have noticed my switch from cell phone Internet to fiberoptic.  Of course, Mary had a late start and only a 45 minute set yesterday.  But there were no interruptions, and the Twitch stream is actually watchable.  I would like to tell you the story of the transition.

At first, I tried to sign up online but cell phone Internet made it impossible.  Then I tried calling, but the calls didn't connect most of the time and when they did, the sound was fuzzy.  One party's phone texted back that it had received the call, and I texted that back by saying that I wanted fiberoptic Internet.  Then a human got involved, and we began the signup process.  I filled out the form by texting, but some crucial information kept on getting blocked when I sent it.  I had to use 2 phones to get the information through, one phone to distract while the other did the work.  That still wasn't enough, so I had to tell the lady (over a fuzzy connection) to complete the form for me.  Obviously she was aware of the hidden enemies and helped me compensate, because here I am now on fiberoptic Internet.  The moral of this story is that your cell phone company is a traitor, folks.

Al-Fatihah

 

Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope you are doing well.  I am preparing for Ramadan which starts tomorrow.  I am sure you remember that I asked you to memorize this prayer in Arabic by the time we marry inshaAllah, and I am sure you have already done so.  Please keep safe and healthy.

So it is Ramadan tomorrow.  Fasting for Ramadan is for Muslims only.  So if you folks were not Muslims, then don't fast for this occasion.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

135.  Say, "Each one is waiting.  Wait you therefore, and soon shall you know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received guidance."

Ta Ha 20:135

Why hurry

 
Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today?  Darn mood swings, huh!  I get those too, usually when I eat something it goes away.  That works for me though, because I only eat twice a day.  Don't worry Honey, everything will work out great for us inshaAllah.  Keep safe and healthy.

I finally got a few extra bucks that I can dump a cell phone account and go fiberoptic Internet.  It's going to squeeze my monthly budget, but I seem to be the only one who has respect enough for my work to finance it.  This includes the Qur'an.  At first I tried to sign up online, but the cell phone Internet made it impossible.  That figures, huh.  Then I called the number on the sign in the photo below.  After a few sketchy exchanges of messages, I gave that up.  Yes, the ad posted over the loan shark ad on a tree in a jungle.  I suppose I have to go to the office downtown tomorrow.  What's the rush, anyway.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

183.  They said, "Allah took our promise not to believe in a messenger unless he showed us a sacrifice consumed by fire."  Say, "There came to you messengers before me with clear signs and even with what you ask for.  Why then did you slay them, if you speak the truth?"

The Family of Imran 3:183
