Swouncing

( continues...)

Many people who stop practicing Judaism say that the first time to click on a light switch on a Saturday, to put in their mouth a non-kosher food, to eat in a day of fasting (all of these are actions that are strictly in the realm of relationship between a person and G*d, they don't affect any other person, they can't hurt people's feelings or be untruthful or anything like it) - in those first times, they often describe it as if they're expecting a lightning to come and hit them from the sky, or a large booming voice to scold them from above or something. And it's only in hitting a light switch, an action that they do each and every day without ever thinking about it at all, and still, the connection, the meaning all around it, makes it seem different, makes it get meaning of its own.

[Edit: OK, going away to hide myself in shame over my babblingness. Also, I'm not sure if it's even what you're talking about, Kate, sorry! So you'll just have to laugh at me for quoting myself for no reason and at such ridiculous length.]

Death by Caffeine will calculate how much of your favorite caffeinated beverage it would take to kill you. (Sadly, only packaged drinks are included -- because their nutritional information is standardized and available -- so for those of us who just drink COFFEE, it's not very helpful.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Is that 265 cans raining down on your head, or poured into a vat that you can drown in?

Or, I mean, you could drink 265 cans of Diet Coke, but you'd probably die of overhydration and sugar shock before the caffeine could get at you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What, if they fell on you?

eta: death by carbonated beverage crushing x-post....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Libkitty! Tell me Fairbanks will still be nice in late September?

Not the Kitty of the Lib, but Fairbanks will be nice, if cold. Be ready for snow.

Also, 'suela, how long are you going to be up there? If you want, I can ask my mom and stepdad to show you around/take you flying/whatever.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

But because I do have that faith, and because no action, as irrelevant as it may seem, which follows any halakha, as 'small' as it may seem, doesn't stand on its own, doesn't exist without the connection of it to the larger picture, to the faith and to me trying to lead my life in the best way I hope I can find according to that faith, each movement suddenly gets meaning.

As always, I LOVE NILLY.

It doesn't specify. Either way, I don't think I'll be testing it any time soon.

Looks like the Starbucks double shot is the quickest way to go. Barq's rootbeer, on the other hand, takes forever. In any case, death by caffeine... not speedy.
