I just can't figure out why they named their baby after food.
Maybe they named it after Bush's little cup of moccachino the Secretary of State.
Sorry for the Jon Stewart possession there.
Stephanie, I am completely in awe of you taking the bar as a newborn mother. You're like the Goddess of Competence.
Good luck on the practice test, Stephanie.
A thought I noticed in passing.
as women don't take their husband's name at marriage
It always fascinates me, naming practices with marriage. I'm trying to remember if women always took their husbands' names in English culture. Heck, I guess it depends on when last names became ubiquitous.
All boobs all the time! I was not very modest while nursing. I liked wearing blouses that crossed over in front and just popped it out. The baby hid most of the breast, but only children stare. The adults divert their eyes.
Welcome back Hil. Sounds like it was a great trip.
Envious of Stephanie's drive.
So sorry about the car stuff Plei. Car buying is my least favorite experience in shopping.
Hil, when you get a second and are well rested, explain to me what "Not all kipahs are orange" means, please.
Um. Babies, nursing, cars - hey, I haven't had coffee yet today, maybe that's why I can't make thoughts and words and sentences...must get down a cup of nasty workplace coffee.

Orange is the color being used by the anti-disengagement protesters. It's everywhere -- orange ribbons tied to cars or pinned onto backpacks, orange hats, orange t-shirts, orange bracelets, and usually with the slogan "Jews don't expell Jews." (It sounds a bit better in Hebrew.) The pro-disengagement camp is using blue, but that seemed to just start to be taking hold during the time I was there. Melchior's party is a moderate religious party which, unlike most of the religious parties in Israel, is in favor of the disengagement plan.
Thanks, I thought it was something like that but google wasn't telling me what orange means.

It's very uncommon in Quebec as well.
In all of Canada it's something you have to do on purpose -- the assumption seems to be slipping away.
You have to do it on purpose in the US, too. Legally anyway. I mean, I've kept my name just out of not doing anything about it.
Though I have cleverly taken the AIM nickname of TamaraSff that will work with either possible lastname.
