What are some fun things to do over spring break?

that dont involve traveling long distances and vactions



BE AWESOME AS ALWAYS





so the "new format" aka "fun" (worst band name) is playing a show at bowery on apr. 29. PLEASE LETS GO




We live like 2 hours away from the beach so we went to the beach. Go for walks or go hiking if your an outdoorsy person. You could also go camping. I love to camp! You could also go to the movies or go to a concert. They have a lot of specials going on and a lot of festivals too. At the beach they had a kite festival and a crab festival on the first weekend of spring break.




You should go to amusement parks. It is so much fun riding roller-coasters and playing games. Then go to get a candy apple and walk around the park.




you can have a party/sleepover with your closest friends!




well we live 10 minutes from the beach.


eat that victoriaaaaa








and obv p bread errday bc there is nothing else to do haha

Do you as a muslim man treat women with respect and fairness?

I do respect women as to fairness in my judgement yes but I can not be sure.

What are some irrational fears you have?

I have an irrational fear of my nail ripping out. And, especially when I have a lose nail close to the edge of my skin, I%26#039;m afraid that if my nail rubs hard against some cloth/blanket, my whole nail might rip off. I just get so worried and scared of that happening.





So, what are some of your irrational fears?





It%26#039;s 2 AM here, I should get to bed.





Ma%26#039;asalam.



I actually have alot of them. And they are all weird and annoying.





1. Similar to yours but i have this weird fear of someone separating half of my nail from my finger to insert some red chili in...(I saw this happening to someone in a movie when i was i kid)





2. When i wear a head scarf, i ALWAYS fear that the pin under my chin will hurt me on the neck. Even though it is tightly closed and no way is it gonna hurt me unless i leave it open. But i just think about it every time i wear the hijab.





3. Whenever i wear high heels, i feel as if i am going to break the back of my ankle(whatever that part is called...i dont know?)...





4. Oh and, also when i wear super high heels, i feel as if i am going to hurt my backbone real bad. What does high heels have to do with backbone?...I dont know..





There are more that i can%26#039;%26#039;t think of now. But i might get back if i think of more.




i think you might have developed this phobia beause you%26#039;ve have got hurt ,you nail might have been ripped off , its pain ful ,i know,but i think you should think rationally ,its ok .


i dont have any irrational fear now but when i was 10 ,i couldnt swallow tablets (medicine) i thought i would get stuck in my food pipe ,and whenever i got fever or cold i used take only syrups ,but then soon i got out of it.




sometimes i fear people, which is weird because usually i am very comfortable around them and its dumb for me to fear them. i want to stop being such a loser in that area. people are 99% cool and even the dumb ones can be tolerated until you can get away from them and go back to the other 99% again :)




I have a fear that I make a lot of mistakes the truth is I make a hell lot of mistakes.





Another is I fear poverty, As I have know what it is. I feel I have a rags to riches story (Thanks to Almighty Allah)




I have a fear of men. I am totally irrationally paranoid about them. (I think I have good reason) However even then ,I know I am paranoid lol.




I have this fear that the people of Ramadan might start being nice to me , wouldn%26#039;t want that.





Maybe you can Hjab your nails too?




you should also fear me cuz i know your secret




Fusion restaurants...i can explain why...i just refuse to go into one.


%0D%0A

I wish you a happy Easter?

I should like to wish all of you a happy Easter!





Do you have any plans for this weekend? Are you going away or do you stay at home? I stay at home and do some gardening, tending to my roses.





One of my colleagues just came in and told us his wife is in labour. They are going to have an Easter baby!



Thanks, you too.




i used to go to the country and spend the Easter with my grandparents aunts uncles and so on, but, well time passes and there's just not enough time these days... i sure could use some easter eggs right about now..





Hapy easter! and congratulation to your friend.




Why are you wishing "all of you" a happy Easter????





Since 2/3 the people on earth aren't Christian, why would you assume we would all celebrate it?




Stay away from my eggs!




Thankyou and you too..I'm going away to visit family..How wonderful,an Easter baby,hope all goes well...........

Why do people assume I am a Christian and wish me a happy Easter?

Here in the USA, everywhere I go people just assume I am Christian. I am not, so I dont care to celebrate Christian holidays. Just as Christians dont observe Jewish Muslim or Buddhist holidays,





Shouldnt most people (teachers, waitresses, cashiers customers at Starbucks be aware that this is multi-cultural society????



That would mean actually putting their minds in gear before they speak. I would say that waitresses and cashiers have been told to do so by their managers. Some people assume this is a "Christian Nation"; it is a nation with Christians and it just doesn't occur to some people that not everyone they meet is a Christian.


They aren't trying to insult you; just consider it another form of "Have a nice day!" and ignore them. (One of my friends answered a cashier's brainless "have a nice day" with "Don't tell me what to do!")




Everyone celebrates different things and unless you have a big sign on your forehead their is no way of telling what you believe in. I look at it this way at least they were nice enough to Wish you a Happy Easter even if you don't celebrate it. Just tell them Thank You and that you hope they have one as well.




hey don't worry... If you are in America... soon enough the Christian Holidays you are talking about will be thrown out the windows to please the other relegions you are defending. Then everyone will gang up on that one and have that one taken away... and soon the next and soon the next.....





Customers at Starbucks? you're kidding me.... go live in a community that needs the faith that you take avantage of.... then you and the rest of your little kid friends can move to another country that you haven't destroyed.....




Someone saw you with your hand in the Easter basket taking chocolate eggs - the word has now spread that you love the Easter Bunny!


Or Chocolate?




This world is full of different things that people say. You can except them or not. That's why America is a great Country. It's called freedom. Enjoy!




I'm sure they were not trying to offend you. They were just being polite and wishing you a nice day, kind of like saying "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Halloween.




maybe because they are christian and dont know youre not?

Why are painted eggs and bunny rabbits affiliated with Easter?

Whenever I think of Easter, I think of bunny rabbits and painting eggs, but, to be completely honest, I do not know why I think of painted eggs and rabbits. I mean, I know why I think of these things, because I grew up painting eggs on Easter, and waking up and finding a basket full of chocolate eggs and chocolate rabbits, but I don't know why I grew up painting eggs and waiting for the Easter bunny. Why are painted eggs and bunnies affiliated with Easter? Where does this affiliation originate from?



Rabbits and eggs are both symbols of the fertility goddess Eostre/Ishtar/Ostara. Her symbol is also the moon, in which some cultures see a rabbit instead of a face. Eggs also symbolize the moon and are the ultimate symbol of creation and new life. The basket is a symbol of the womb in which this new life is carried.





The feast day is pagan and was widely celebrated way before the time of Jesus. Like pretty much all holidays, it was adopted by Christians to help get more converts. However, since the point is to celebrate new life and the hope of continuance, Christian symbols of a Resurrection day and the old pagan symbols mean the same thing. Just like Christmas, we are all celebrating the same thing, just using different symbols.




Christians replaced the pagan holiday (the vernal equinox, when pagans celebrated life, rebirth, springtime, and fertility) with an observance of a christian event, regardless if the dates matched up. Because rabbits and eggs are symbols of fertility and springtime, they remained part of the celebration.




Because, like most christian holidays, it occurs at the same time a pagan holiday occurred. In this case, the holiday was related to spring and fertility.




because someone was high when they made up stuff 2 do 4 holidays like christmas someone was born who would think "hey lets put a tree in our house and make it colorful" a high person thats who so thats my theory

What are you going to do for EASTER SUNDAY?

what are you doing to celebrate gods day of coming back from the dead
