MyLadiesDaddy Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Well there you have it. Everyone has always asked, when is the Islamic New Year? Now we know it's the exact same one as the Jewish New Year. Glory be to God in the highest happy Rosh Hashanah or everyone. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Half Crazy Runner Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hmmm .. I'm wondering why they need to announce that Thursday will be a work holiday. Do they not usually have the new year off? Or am I reading too much into this..? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEPatriotsFan1 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 If you add this to the giant TV screen in Baghdad, Abadi's twitter feed, the postponing of the Kurdish referendum... and now the Islamic New year........ you have the makings of an RV Coccktail!! Plus I believe the US fiscal New Year starts on October 1st..... so this is all lining up as a strong potential window for us all to be #blessed 😎 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Bean Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thank god. Those saps in Parliament needed a break. Working 6 hours this week was a mind bender. Plus they need to restock the water bottles and foam fingers for the next "do nothing' session. October they start discussing the 2018 budget, leading right up to December vacation. There's no intention to accomplish anything important from these fools. I can only hope that most, if not all, get dumped in next spring elections. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
