At least AAA came soon, ita. But STILL.
My impression of a lot of kosher/religious practices is, "Well, to make 100% sure we're following the rule, we'll go like five steps beyond, just to be on the safe side." Is that fair, you think?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Grandma F was cranky around kids, though she could also be incredibly sweet. I actually think her crank was largely driven by the household being constantly in a state of controlled chaos , while she'd run her family with an iron fist (she was always grumping about how on earth she'd raised a kid to be an hippy artist of all things!) She really didn't know how to deal. As a kid, I thought she was kinda scary. In retrospect, nsm. Adrift, sure.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep. There's even a Talmudic term for it: building a fence around the Torah. So, for instance, if you're not allowed to hammer in a nail on Shabbat, it's safest to set your traditions up so you don't even pick up the hammer.

Right, right, that was the kind of thing I was thinking of. Glad to know it's an actual Thing.
Man, I'm all about religious ed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
This time I'll just point at amych's answer, as I am too late for an actual x-post.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I just got off the phone with Dh's friend - a buddhist monk. He has seen the light and understands the joy of Joss. He saw firefly and serenity.

Also, our friend the buddhist monk, suggested that while being grounded is good ... perhaps the velocity with wich I apprached being grounded was not so good

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The days are getting noticablly shorter. I am not sure the last time I time-shifted, but the morning was significantly darker at 5:30 this morning than it was the last time I did this. I think it is about an hour behind where I remember it. I enjoy my seasons, but dark mornings and evenings are sad-making.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay, Emily!
