Congratulations, Allyson!
Were you able to find a plush bat backpack for your nephew? Or should I check some of the usual gothy places for you?
This is the bat backpack but I can't figure out how to buy it.
Allyson, they have a questionnaire on JDate that covers your degree of observance; it's a pretty popular service at least out here and I wouldn't avoid it just because you're not observant.
Congrats Allyson!
Thanks for the congrats! Things seem to be working out really well for people I love, lately. Now, just need to cure ita's migraines and all will be right as rain.
Although you have to wonder about a guy who doesn't tell his overprotective mom about his considerable promotion for more than two years, and only tells her because he lands in the hospital.
I don't know - there's that key word, overprotective, plus going from a high-paying, sciency job to this...think P-C and his mother's reaction to his change of direction, if his change had also involved criminals and guns. Which I assume it does not.
I just realized I have enough birthday money to buy a Roomba.
Squee!
[eta: Roomba owners - how does it do with rugs? Will it choke on the fringe?]
A great story well-told, that ends well, and proof that crymaking drama is as effective on the small scale as in any epic.
Nice. Reminds me of my friend's family - their house burned down on Christmas day (though actually due to a menorah candle incident), and his mother ended up breaking her leg jumping naked from the second story - she'd taken off her nightgown to lower the kids to the ground. (Everyone's fine now, btw.)
Allyson, congrats!
Also, fwiw, I have a Buddhist friend who's used JDate to meet nice Jewish guys. Many of the people on there are far from observant.
Edited because I can differentiate between there/their/they're.
