Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
And especially for Cindy: the sum of the letters that combine the word "good" in Hebrew ('tov') is? Yup, 17 (9+6+2).
What is the sum for the letters that combine to make Nilly?
Is this gerematryia (I may have mangled that spelling).
Oh, yeah. I did. I meant germatria.
Jesse, everyone wants to know my opinions. That is a universal given.
Uh huh. OK.
Remind me I should probably have a new job lined up before I quit this one?
you should have a new job before you quit. or a winning lottery ticket.
I don't make that much here that I'd even need a big payoff. I could win enough to quit off a scratch card, easy.
What is the sum for the letters that combine to make Nilly?
In Hebrew, my name has 4 letters. It's 50+10+30+10 = 100.

Jessica will probably know better than me how to spall that in English letters, but yup, that's it - assigning numerical values to letters.
You can play with it further, if you like, and go to "small gimatriya" - the single-digit sum of all the numbers. If you get a number with more than one digit, add the digits. Repeat until you've got just the one left. so if the value is 18 you get 1+8=9. If the value is 97 you get 9+7=16 and 1+6=7. With my name, for example, you'll get 1+0+0=1.
Some people like to play with these numbers-letters (and it's fun). Some put huge significance in them (as in, if the gimatriya of your name is such-and-such you need to marry a man with a name with the gimatriya of such-and-such), but in my eyes, doing so is a bit on the side of superstition.
Jesse, the Ricky's by my work is hiring. So is the BK.

I'm picky. If a job isn't interesting and/or well paid, I'd want to be able to screw around online.
Also, I was sitting next to a guy on the train the other day who was clearly just getting off a shift working with a deep fryer, and it was NASTY.
snob.
Today's Boondocks = brilliant.
Avoid the deep fryer.
The bagel shop I worked at made its own chips. I sometimes got roped into doing it. I quickly acquired an extra long sleeved smock that the baker used to avoid getting burns from the steam trays. Insane. The rubber on the soles of my sneakers melted, just from the grease spatter.
