I completed an eye surgery recently, and Alhamdulillah I’m recovering well. I feel so blessed that it went well. Now I just have to wait about a month to see if the surgery was throughly successful.

Assalam Alikum sister 

You can call corporate and verify.  This is what I read about it.

What's in a Fry?

But they didn’t change their recipe one bit. Their website still lists the ingredientsfor all to see.

 

As a representative explained: “With regard to our French fries, any customer in the you.S. who contacts McDonald's United States to ask if they contain beef flavoring is told 'yes.'"

 

The way it works is, McDonald's French fry suppliers add a very small amount of beef flavor to the oil in the par-frying process at the potato processing plant before shipping the spuds to individual outlets. Once at the restaurant, the fries are cooked in vegetable oil. That same representative went on to say that, "In addition, we have no plans to change the way we prepare our French fries in the you.S. However, it is important to know that our French fries are prepared differently in other countries.”

@Laayla thanks for the information.

Quote

 

Harvesting food in space, ideally using locally extracted water, would mean astronauts could survive for far longer without returned to Earth for supplies.

Images sent back by the [Moon] probe show a cotton plant has grown well, but so far none of the other plants had sprouted, the university said.

Hmm.

So we may be able to clothe ourselves, but without food we still won't live long enough to need a change of clothing.

They've grown and eaten salad vegetables on the International Space Station. I'm sure it's also possible for them to grow on the moon, even if they haven't yet.

Sure. I agree with you. I just thought it was amusing that cotton had germinated before food.

My blog posts on the God Hypothesis all 'predict' that there will be human activity in space and that it will be incremental with closer resources providing the means to exploit those further away.

Life would be easier if we all just closed our eyes and our ears. Life would be easier if we just didn't care about humanity. 

Question: if someone you love and respect says something really stupid and harmful, should you correct them, knowing they won't listen?

China must be one of the most tourist unfriendly places I have been in so far. English is extremely rare.

Took me like 1 hours to sign up for a gym here.

Having a very hard time with food as well. I expected as much so I had a water boiler, instant noodles, tuna and corn cans with me.  Been eating it for lunch but its boring to eat the same thing for dinner so I went to a grocery store here to buy some instant oats, banana, blue berries, honey and peanut butter. The grocery store was really confusing, the way their products were placed.

Hard to make sense out of it. They were pumping annoying chinese music and every time someone saw me it was like they found nemo, I am ready to go home.

Wouldn't it be nice if we were sometimes invisible and travel the world so nobody could see or judge us for the way we look.

Sometines I fly like that in my dreams in Out of Body Experiences OBE when I sleep. In my dreams I have been to Indira Ghandi airport in India, soon after that there were reports in their media of unusual lights in the sky. In my dreams I also went to the arctic coast of North East America when there was a snow storm. I flew like a bee above the glaziers and below the ocean. I never heard of the place before let alone knowing about the snow storm. I know it sounds unconventional but I believe it happened to me.

Its sad people treat us the way the Chinese are treating you. What is your ethnicity?

Condolences to the Imaam of our time on shahadat of his jaddah Janabe Zehra (s.a.).

They don’t treat me bad or anything like that. It is just hard to communicate, understand things and find food here.

I don’t really remember my dreams anymore, only the crazy ones maybe. I dreamed the other day that I was snowboarding on asphalt without a snowboard, was very strange.

I see well Chinese are easy going people I guess. Also dreams can tell a lot about ourselves. I heard in Islam we are told there are three kinds of dreams simply to spiritual.

Would anyone be able to suggest gifts that I can include in a care package for a friend who miscarried? Thank you

How about giving a soft cuddly teddy bear with a prophetic quote of comfort regarding loss of a child. Here are some of my favourite quotes:

O ‘Uthman son of Maz`un! Paradise has eight gates and Hell has seven; does it not please you that whenever you come to any gate of Paradise, you will find your son standing at it, holding your robe (pleading to the Almighty to let you in)?"

 

Ubadah ibn al-Samit is quoted as having said that the Messenger of Allah (ص) had said, "A childbed woman is dragged by her son on the Judgment Day with his own naval cords into Paradise [the child died before getting the chance to cut the naval cord]."

 

Anas ibn Malik is quoted as having cited the Messenger of Allah (ص) saying, "When it is Judgment Day, the believers' children are called upon to get out of their graves. They will come out. They will then be told to go to Paradise in hordes, but they will say, 'Lord! Shall our parents accompany us?' They will be called upon a second time to go to Paradise in hordes, but they will again say, 'Lord! Shall our parents accompany us?'

They will then be called upon for the third time to go to Paradise in hordes, but they will once more say, 'Lord! What about our parents?' It will be said to them on the fourth time, 'Your parents shall be with you, too,' whereupon each child will leap to its parents. They will take their hands and all will enter Paradise, for they best know their fathers and mothers on that Day than your own sons who now are in your homes."20

 

Anas ibn Malik is quoted as having said that a man used to bring his son together with him whenever he used to see the Messenger of Allah (ص). The son died, so his father stopped going to visit the Prophet (ص) who inquired about him. People said to the Prophet (ص), "O Messenger of Allah! His son, whom you had seen in his company, has died."

The Prophet (ص) said, "Why did you not tell me? Stand and let us go to our brother to console him." When the Prophet (ص) entered the man's place, he found him very sad and forlorn, so he offered his condolences to him. The man said, "O Messenger of Allah! I used to treasure him for my old age and feebleness."

The Messenger of Allah (ص) said to him, "Does it not please you that on the Day of Judgment, he will be beside you? He will be told to enter Paradise, whereupon he will say, 'Lord! What about my parents?' He will keep pleading till Allah, the most Exalted, the most Great, accepts his intercession and permits you all to enter Paradise."21

Is it wise to create a cover letter with resume? How do you write one/what do you include?
