Mob of kids chase down suspicious stranger (courtesy fark)

This is what i hope to teach my kids to do - you think he's a child moletser?  chase him down with your friends and your bat.

ok, no, really - i'd rather someone call the cops.  but if i'm not around, hell yeah - my kids would kick his ass.

the moral of the story

don't go chasing waterfalls.  please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.  i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all, but i think you're moving too fast.

remember how we all loved that song?

i'll sing it for you if you like

hm

my numbers have dramatically dropped since a high in february. i'mnot sure how i feel about that - it was nice to have a readership. unfortunately, my future mother-in-law was part of that readership, and i got nervous and overthought every post, and ended up not blogging at all.

anyhow, i just ate revaya, another opportunity for real nourishment flushed down the drain with a yummy and carb-full salad. excellent. there's some guy talking really loud on his phone in here. i'm not sure if it's funny or annoying.

i took my second final today. i wrote what i felt like writing, then handed it in. my teacher told me i hadn't been there long enough to be done, but i told her i'd said everytyhing i had to say.

then i left.

PSA

A tallis and Tefilling belonging to Gershon Feldman have been found - they're from two years ago.  if you know him, please tell him.

one of the stupider things

was imbedding a 200,000 British poune diamond in the front of a car for a race.

another was putting on a broken bra with a wire poking out and biting me all day.

another was being up til 3 moving things when i have a final tonight.

i'm sure i'll think of more later.  i'll let you know.

on the upside, after cleaning the kitchen here cause someone left an open can of tuna rotting in the fridge - my hands smell like clean carpets.

music and other good things

now every song i hear that i love i want played at my wedding.  like 'behind blue eyes'.  it's not my fault that most good music is depressing!

if you read avraham's blog, you'll know that we got beds.  beds!  i slept in my new bed last night.  i felt like i was cheating for using it before avraham could use his, but oh well.  i also didn't relish the thought of sleeping on the couch til we're married.

anyhow, dealing with consumers who want us to apologize for labeling mistakes made by the companies... 

i have this great dream where i get to write the following:

yes, we're sorry that the company and the printer didn't put the D on the product that has buttermillk in it.  we told them to, and they didn't.  we found the product missing the D, so we told them to fix it.

you magically bought one of the few bottles remaining on the market without the D.  maybe you should have asked us before you ate it with meat, hm?

(i mean, i am truly sorry that this person had to deal with this.  but that 's why we release Kashruth alerts.)  if you're gonna get all prissy about it, maybe try reading them in shul, or signing up for them to be emailed.  then you would have known that we announced this 5 MONTHS ago.

no, you're right.  it's our fault that you saw the same identical product, one with a D, one without, bought the one without, then checked the ingredients.  We realize that if not for us, your kitchen would have never ever, not even once, had a mistake made in it.

 - in the end, you know, i just apologize without the yelling at the person to try to take some responsibility for the Kashruth in their own home.

but for  those who are still reading this - please check things before you buy them.  if something doesn't look right, email us.  please.  that's what we're here for - to help you *before* you make the mistake.
