Still no internet at home, but

ever wonder why. at 5 am, when all you want to do is go back to sleep, instead you have crappy jingles playing in your head?  such as: The PEN-syl-VA-nia LOT-ter-RY!!!!!! (you'd know it if you heard it)

Sorry, but this isn't a fun post

Hey.  As some of you may have heard today, my uncle had a heart attack yesterday and is in pretty serious condition.

 

He's having an operation tomorrow where they're going to attempt to put a new stint in his heart - it's pretty scary and really serious, especially as he has a history of heart problems.

 

If you're so inclined, it would be very sweet if you could dedicate your learning to him or pray for him - whatever floats your boat - while he's going through it.  His name is Amichai David ben Liba Ahuva.

 

Thanks.

 

I'll be blogging again when we get teh internets hooked up to our new (!) apt

You Are a Boston Creme Donut

You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you. But on the inside, you're a total pushover and completely soft. You're a traditionalist, and you don't change easily. You're likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it's sold out.

What Donut Are You?

so

ever have to deal with immensely self-centered people?  how do you handle it?  especially when you love them (or at least one of them)?

when a good friend asks too much of you and never steps back to appreciate it or say thank you, when that person continues to be wrapped up in their own lives - do you at a certain point just step back and remove yourself from the damage network?  if not, how do you stand there without it killing the friendship?

stuff and things to think about

Amalah linked to this great article about food for kids, whic is apparently being rethought.  which is cool, cause i always kinda hoped that at about 6 months, i could cuisinart whatever we were eating and feed it to Baby.  that way Baby gets to eat the kind of food it will have later, and Baby gets to really be part of our meals.

Anyhow, i recommend reading it: Experts seek to debunk baby food myths

bad pictures just came my way from israel.  really scary, bloody, and violent.

as always, what reaction is this supposed to illicit?  sadness?  anger?  a call to action?  all i see are comments left in the email forwards that only serve to further drive israeli society apart.

i'm not saying that the pictures shouldn't be sent, just that i don't know that it's generating anything positive.
