msbelle, the wheelchair goes away just in time for the Jewish new year. "Let it be the end of a year and its cursings, let it be the beginning of a year and its blessing". I hope it means that the school will be better (even before that), too.

Is your birthday on the Buffista calendar???

Nope, because I celebrate on the Jewish date, which "falls" on a different general date every year. Putting there "the 23rd of Elul, which is a different date each year" is not very practical, is it?

But the Hebrew date is, indeed, today. Not belated (the Jewish day starts on the former evening, so yesterday evening, while still being Wednesday and September 5, was already Jewishly-speaking Thursday, with the proper date and all).

Which is a very long way of saying, thanks for the birthday wishes!

Happy birthday Nilly!

This is cool! On official forms then you just write what? For example when you filled out a visa request for the US, what did you write on the form?

So sleepy today.

This is cool!

Everybody has a Jewish date for their birthday. If I have the general date (complete with year, of course, seeing as the dates change every year), I can find the Hebrew date.

A friend of mine says that the whole time between her general-date birthday and her Jewish-date birthday should be dedicated for celebrations. It's mostly a couple of days to a couple of weeks, but sometimes it can be nearly as long as a month, and in rare cases, the dates coincide again.

On official forms then you just write what? For example when you filled out a visa request for the US, what did you write on the form?

The general date, if that's the only option.

If there's room, not just boxes to mark and the like, I try to fit the Jewish date as well, on principle, because that's the date that matters to me. But in most cases, there isn't any room for that.

Happy Birthday, Nilly!

Yay, baby steps, Matilda!
