I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If you put milk in them, yes. And a good hearty breakfast at that.

Excellent -- I win at nutrition!

Has anyone ever taken Vitamin B supplements? I bought these: [link] the other day. I haven't started taking them yet. If they make the tummy oogy, I'm going to wait, because the headcold is enough, right now. But if not, I could probably use the vitamin C added in there.

Vitamin B makes me irritable. Like, unbelievably cranky.

I don't think I could go drinkless, either.

And I practice that for years now, at least 5 days a year, and still, not managing to learn.

can you just quote from the article a lot? "As the author puts it, purple camels walk to magazine."

I'm supposed to talk about it and lead a discussion. I can't actually talk about something when I don't understand what it says. Right now, I'm trying to practically translate it, hoping that by writing down things in Hebrew, I'll be able to make more sense of it (the article is in English, by a French person). That's as creative as I could get. I can be much more creative with whining, apparently.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oy. Good luck, anyway.

I'm not sure anyone could tell the difference with me.

Nilly, do you speak French? Maybe the article was translated poorly, and if you could find the original.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I usually wake up hungry, or wake up because I am hungry, and must eat immediately. Not necessarily a lot, but something.

(eta: the only way I can manage fasting is to spend all my time before shul getting dressed so I don't have time to want food. It sort of works)

do you speak French?

Nope. Some of the footnotes were left in French (because, hey, if the person who writes the article can understand them, we should be worthy enough only if we can, too), and I had my mom (whose mother tongue is French) translate them for me. I understood most of the words (thanks to similarity to English), but not the actual connections between them, which in the end create the meaning of the sentence. That's why I didn't want to use babelfish and asked for a human help instead.

The only thing I am sure I understand from this article is the insults the man who wrote it spills on the heads of other people. Let me quote:

The confusion is so complete that sentences contradict each other making the book extremely difficult to read.

She, obsessed by..., does not even read what she writes.

And that's just as far as I got.

[Edit: this article is poison! It kills even Natter!]

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I really shouldn't have gone by the Levenger's store on my way back from lunch. I really shouldn't have sat in this chair: [link] because it is probably the most comfortable I've been in forever. Yet it is fantastically expensive by my own cheap standards. Le Sigh.
