t Skipping lots, to the end of the former thread and over the already hundreds of posts in the current one
t Sighing that I never get to post anymore
t Not bothering even to sigh about not getting to catch up
t Waving feebly
t Hmm, enough whining for one post? Can I actually get to the posting of it all already?
So: Hi! Remember me? After more than a week of no computer at all (first an annoying virus, then way too many cleaning and scrubbing for Passover), I'm stealing a moment at my parents (the cake is in the oven, the table is half set, the dishes are washed) to at least wave hello and wish a happy, relaxed, with-good-people holiday, for all those who observe it, and just plain good wishes for everybody.
Oh, and due to that sad lack of computer time, I couldn't get to the "Buffista Calendar" file for a little ever. So if I've missed anybody's important date, I'm so sorry!
Happy Passover, even if it is your least-favorite-holiday, Nilly! (I should save my good wishes for everyone on this continent til later, right?)
Hi Nilly! Have a great holiday.
Oh, thanks Jesse! And how nice of you to remember.
Actually, the holiday itself is fine and good, I love the Seder (the first evening, with the Hagada), the family, the ideas. It's just the stress, annoyance and tiredness that comes with it that I can't stand. Well, no, I don't like to eat matzot, either. But that's just the crust that tastes like cardboard on top of the flour-less cake.

Even here there are at least 3 hours before the holiday starts. But we're too many people here on this one little computer, including my brother who got the time off from the army and never gets computer time, so I'm using my time window.

Yeah, I figured this was your last shot online.

We're sort of taking turns, because all of us have people to wish a happy holiday online. We're taking turns on the phone, as well. Mine, for that, didn't arrive yet. Oh, we're also taking turns washing the dishes accumulated from the cookings. My turn for that came several times already. But also my turn to sample some of the food for tonight and tomorrow, so I know to type things that aren't whining.
Happy Passover, Nilly and all celebrants!
Nora! I miss posting with you (singular! As well as plural!) so much.
Now the cake is dark on the top and still not solid in the middle. I turned the oven's temperature down. I hate baking with the grinded-matzot we use for a replacement for flour during Passover. I never know how anything may turn out (I've never baked this cake before).
[Edit: thanks, ita!]

Nilly, I hope all of these are wonderful for you, to help wipe away the preparation frustration. A happy Passover to you and your family.
