Not quite as addictive as stacking cats, but, all the president's hair is oddly addictive and strangely difficult. Though it has sound so be warned. The best I've gotten is 4 out of 7.

6 out of 7. Dang, I'm pissed I missed one.

Did much worse the second time. 3 out of 7.

Etiquette help? We've been invited to a "light shabbat dinner" at an Israeli friend's house. Is this different from any other kosher dinner? Am I out of line in offering to bring something?

Raq, does this friend observe the shabbat?

In terms of the actual dinner, it shouldn't be any different than any rmeal. There are several customs (a blessing on the wine before eating, washing hands and a blessing on the bread), but the meal itself is no different than any other meal (sometimes fancier, to honor the shabbat).

Regarding bringing something, that may depend on the level in which your friend practices the rules of Judaism. On every kosher meal, the matter of kosher is an issue, of course. On shabbat there are several more complications (heating the food, for example), but again, they depend on the level of observing the rules by your friend. In general, I can't think of a reason to make an offer of bringing something anything other than nice, definitely not "out of line".

Nilly, are you around to help with a couple math problems if I don't get them finished before Emily leaves?

good morning. My furnance is all of a sudden super active and my room gets really warm about this time in the morning. uncomfortably warm. bleagh.

oh well, up early enough for breakfast and stretching before work, so that's good at least.

vw, Yup.

Morning, msbelle.

I think I got it all figured out. It was more completing the square. Not too bad.

Thanks!
