To me, "feeling like a train wreck" is not a good sign

The Arabs have a very long history of Ramadan. As an Arab, you may be much more comfortable with fasting than we non-Arabs can be. I have no idea when fasting can begin to be risky. In any case, I hope everything will be all right.

During Ramadan, Muslims fast during the day & then gorge themselves at night only to return to the fast again at sunrise

Thank you, Antwan and Sarah. I had somehow got confused about how Ramadan really works. So Ramadan fasters get to eat every night, huh? No wonder the Ramadan-fasting laborers managed to work all right on a construction site under intense heat in Iraq, where I was working.

I tried to fast Ramadan once with some Muslims. I couldn't do it. I'm weak. The Shaitan's got a hold on me. I got no iman. I am destined for the jahannam. Antwan the Damned.

Wow, you know a lot of Arabic technical terms. I had to google three words you just used. But Shaitan is similar to "Satan," so it's easy to memorize.

I told you already I used to hang with the Muslims. I read all the books. I went to masjid, mashallah. I went to their homes. We'd eat sitting on the floor. You can only use your right hand. Never the left. But it was a long time ago & i've forgotten a lot.

Yeah, I do remember all of what you said: that you used to read all those books and associated with those people.

I've gotten into everything. I used to hang out with Wiccans. I knew a gal had a coven. Lady Feather. She would make me the High Priest at her rituals. The Wiccans were wild, party animals. They liked bonfires. And sage. Gotta smudge everything. Haha
