No!!

[Admiral Lebron]

5 Minutes till fasting. :( I hate Yom Kippur for that aspect. :cry

[Sene Unty]

You better eat now.....damn never mind five mintues past.

[Nupraptor]

IIRC, the way it's written, it states that you're not supposed to eat while the sun shines. I know several Jewish people who like to grab a quick snack the moment it gets cloudy. :)

[Zatania Duvall]

Yom wha? Eh... well, this is what happens when you don't pay attention to religion. Not that I'm atheist, but I just believe in God, don't need to believe in anything else or prove it by fasting. But to every man his own way of believing.

Good luck. *eats cheese burger*

[Nupraptor]

I believe the techinical term for that is "Agnostic", Zatania. :)

[Lord Gue]

I thought that ment u didnt believe in anything, anyways, yummy yummy in my tummy....

[Coco Blake]

Aw, good luck Lebron. :)

[Kelt Simoson]

:(

[Admiral Lebron]

I've held up for an hour an 15 minutes. I'm happy my parents are in a lazy mood and didn't take us (my sister and I) to Kol Nidre which is the services held tonight for like 3 hours.

[Nupraptor]

I thought that ment u didnt believe in anythingThat's Athiest. When in doubt, check the dictionary (http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=agnostic).

[Zatania Duvall]

Eh. Whatever. I like remaining in my world and not in some worshipping world. :p

But keep up the good fight Lebby.

[Admiral Lebron]

I'm feeling thirsty. You'll probably get hourly reports from me till I go to sleep then from when I wake up. And I'll in great detail describe my feelings.

9:34 Eastern Time - Mouth is beginning to feel slightly dry, the meat I hate a few hours ago taste still lingers. Otherwise, I'm fine.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Is going to attempt this as well.. fasting that is :) I am of the Jewish faith but considering how sick I am, I am actually exempt from the fasting but I am going to give it the good old college try this year .. whether mom likes it or not :p

[Coco Blake]

Go guys go! :)

You can do it!

[Admiral Lebron]

If you're sick I recommend you at least drink some water.

11:34 Same as 9:34.

[Commander Zemil Vymes]

I usually fast during Lent, even though I am not (currently) Catholic at the moment. My best friend is, and I've done so for a few years, just as an act of faith. Fancy becoming a vegetarian for 40 days :x

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You don't have to fast during Lent, just give up something, right? I gave up caffiene last year for Lent, because one of my guy friends thought it would be good for us all to give up one thing, even though none of us were Catholics.

He gave up movies. Poor guy. I can't remember if he lasted or not.

[Commander Zemil Vymes]

Yeah, just give something up. I always give up meat though.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Should give up carbs. Tsk.

Good luck Nav and Lebron. :) Don't take it too far, Nav, you ARE sick so be careful. ALSO...is it against the rules to drink water? I can't remember.

[Navaria Tarkin]

I always drink liquids when I decide to fast :) Thanks for the tip though Lebron :)

LD~ Thanks.. I am not the most healthy person because of asthma and stuff :\

[Commander Zemil Vymes]

I give up meat because meat is expensive, and usually involves fat grams, unless you're having a lot of cold cuts and fish. I make up for my protein gap with tofu, occasional peanut butter, and a supplement, every once in a while.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

fish=meat. Its called "fishmeat" :mneh

[Diego Van Derveld]

what? Where did I say that it wasn't?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

oh, n/m :)

[Admiral Lebron]

3:25 AM not thirsty yet. Tired a bit. Otherwise I'm good. In 12 hours I'm gonna be sooo thirsty. Oh well.

[Admiral Lebron]

10:08 AM I'm hungry. :(

[Navaria Tarkin]

:( Yeah, hungries >_<

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:( :)

[Diego Van Derveld]

(is on metabo, thus won't be hungry till tuesday :))

[Admiral Lebron]

Bah!

I'm no longer hungry feeling just thirsty and got a headache. :\

[Lilaena De'Ville]

When do you get to drink/eat again?

[Navaria Tarkin]

sundown tonight

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Oh ok.

[Admiral Lebron]

4 hours 12 minutes.

Soo thirsty. I'd kill for some water...

[Sanis Prent]

big babies...I've gone without anything since last night, and I'm just fine :)

[Nupraptor]

If I had to fast for a day, I'd just go to sleep at sunrise, and try to sleep in until sunset.

[Sanis Prent]

thats cheating, you're nocturnal by nature

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

:lol yep, cheating... :Poke Nup

[Leeloo Mina]

Thats what I'd do.. of course you might die though, nup.

I've gone without eating for a day, I didnt even realize I was starving untill I got offline x.x

edit:That's not cheating..

okay so it is a little, but whats wrong with being nocturnal?

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

is too cheating...nothing really though.....

[Moltar]

::Moltar can't be Nocturnal anymore, got class at 8:00 AM::

:cry

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

meh I got one at 6 and I have to work till midnight tonight....

[Admiral Lebron]

I'd say 5 minutes till food but we ate 10 minutes ago because my mom started preparing the break too early and said screw it and we ate. :D

[Navaria Tarkin]

yep. same with my mom

:: has full belly ::

=^_^=

[Lilaena De'Ville]

*pats them both on the head*

Now, enlighten me, I don't remember what the purpose of Yom Kippur is. All Jewish holidays and such are to remember things in your history, so whats the story behind this one? *sits at their feet to be taught*:)

And if you don't know, shame on you ;)

[Nupraptor]

It could be argued that all Christian holidays are evil Big Business schemes to sell lots of trees and egg-colouring. ;)

[Admiral Lebron]

Yom Kippur is the day of Atonment.

[Marcus Telcontar]

It could be argued that all Christian holidays are evil Big Business schemes to sell lots of trees and egg-colouring

I'm as Christian as they come, and I'd not dispute that statement sometimes -_-

[Diego Van Derveld]

Because Arbor Day sucks

[Ange Tot]

Why all the religions have their fasting during the winter months!

COS THE DAYS ARE DAMN SHORT!


Good luck Dale and Lebby!

[Navaria Tarkin]

Good luck? :lol it's over.

Yep, we fast to represent the body being cleansed of sins to start off the new year :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Thanks Lebron and Nav :D

And yes, I agree. 'Christian' holidays have been "secularized" to the point where they're almost unrecognizable as what they actually are.

Comes from the Catholic church taking familiar pagan holidays and turning them into their own holy days. That, and businesses trying to make as much money as they can.

[Admiral Lebron]

I love food. :)

[Leeloo Mina]

Me too. I've been eating food all day >D

[Korik Bannor]

Religious holidays and observances have indeed succumbed to secularism and commercialism. :(

[Sanis Prent]

I've eaten a bag of fat free popcorn since this thread started. I've been rather ill today, unfortunately :\

[Korik Bannor]

:: tosses him a "get well" card ::





I am just getting over headcold myself. Aurgh!

[Anbira Hicchoru]

I'm considering pizza tonight, but I may just throw it up, so not sure :(

[Admiral Lebron]

Might as well vomit up something that tastes good.

[Anbira Hicchoru]

but it won't when the gears are stuck in reverse! >_<

The only thing that works in that case is fruit juice

[Admiral Lebron]

mmm fruit juice.

[Anbira Hicchoru]

I learned that lesson very well during football. Preseason workouts...you have to find something you can eat or drink that won't be nasty on the way back up. Because one thing is guaranteed...you will puke out there.

[Korik Bannor]

OJ and hot soup may be more settling than pizza. At least that is what I prefer while sick. :)

[Bette Davis]

BTW you can die from taking metabolife. be careful, and do remember to eat.

OH YES, watch Requiem for a Dream before you take anymore diet pills Charley!! :cry

[Leeloo Mina]

Oh yeah.. make sure you watch that.. I'm gonna make my mom watch it too. =/ That reminded me of her.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

aw *hug Leeloo*

[Leeloo Mina]

Just something about that lady. My mom seems lonely and stuff

But anyways.. good movie.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

still need to watch that one too.....*is funny since she works for Blockbuster*
