Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

They got out on the last ship that legally left Havana for Florida, as did Jorge (my BIL, who was 3 y.o. at the time) and his parents.

That just gave me goosbumps. I used to eat at a restaurant owned by a lady who was on the last helicopter out of Saigon.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My grandmother left Germany a week before Kristallnacht. (Her mother's cousin was married to Karl Laemmle: [link]

Laemmle remained connected to his home town of Laupheim throughout his life, by financial support and also by sponsoring hundreds of Jews from Laupheim and Württemberg to emigrate from Nazi Germany to the U.S. (which meant paying both emigration and immigration fees), thus saving them from the Holocaust. In order to ensure and facilitate their immigration Laemmle contacted American authorities, members of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of State, Cordell Hull

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If we moved out, the landlady could easily double it.

More than that. It'd go for between 2200 and 2400.

...so, when you accidentally e-mail a large group of people the same message four times, do you send another message to apologize and explain that you weren't trying to annoy them into submission, or just leave it be?

I appreciate it when someone apologizes for an email error.

I think your mea culpa should have the subject line: Your Big Spikey C*ck - Grow It!

Our wings are not tired.

I appreciate the apology when that happens. And it does.

I'm trying to apologize, but my inbox is flipping out in the same way it did when the first mess happened.
