Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Perkins, I think it is so you can get to the office early and pack.

Monkey!

No offense, msbelle, but I am pretty certain that you are CRAZY HEADED WRONG on that one.

Sean! That's amazing! I have a fear of heights and I don't think I could EVER do that. Woo hoo!

I treated myself to a short no fat latte with a shot of caramel because today is payday!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nilly, how long do you have to wait in between the dairy and the meat? I'm wondering if my family's mid-afternoon ice cream the other day could be re-interpreted as an early Shavuot celebration. (My parents are the people who went to a Seder days before the start of Passover, so.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

A train made me about fifteen minutes late to work this morning, and I left my coffee on the kitchen counter. Sigh.

As a good Jewish girl, my answer is: that depends.

There are different rules for people who come from different communities (because it all evolved for centuries), and sometimes even different rules for different kinds of meat.

Usually, it's 3 hours after chicken (or turkey) and 6 hours after, um, anything that had 4 legs, in the lack of a better word for it in my vocabulary. Some don't make that differentiation and wait 6 hours for all kinds of meat (and, yup, that's where I am. 6 hours are a really long time when chocolate is concerned).

The shortest wait is one hour. Dutch people can clear the table, wash the dishes, wait a while, and have ice-cream for dessert. Most other people either resent them for their luck to be born Dutch, or try to see if they can marry one of them in order to accept their way of conducting things. I guess your parents could qualify as Dutch, right?

(Also, I'm a skipper - when does the - YAY - new job start? And are you enjoying your well earned vacation in the meantime?)

[Edit: SA, I hope this means no more bad luck for you for the rest of the day.]

As easily as they could qualify as Jewish!

New job starts Monday. Am definitely enjoying this vacation time. I was out for dinner with people from school last night (our 10 day reunion!), and it was great to see everyone so relaxed for once.

So anybody else see the season premiere of RESCUE ME? Looks like it's going to be another mood-swing-o-rama, now with added inappropriate bed mates.

ION, Venture Bros. Season 1 on DVD / Season 2 starts in June (I think I saw).

Well, Shavuot also has an all-night studying of Judaism (or, well, not a must-stay-up-all-night, but rather "try to study until you fall asleep" sort of custom). But I didn't want to mention that, now that you're all graduated and can relax and the like.
