And now, with a link: Zahar: Hamas ready to renew Gaza truce based on previous conditions.

It is wonderful, though, if being honest, doesn't help the Strip in the long term. When it's "quiet" (read: 3 deaths per week, ~10 rockets per week), people tend to forget about it.

Too bad they can't take up dunking booths and paintball...

does this come off as snotty?

Please call me next time you are getting ready to do a change fund order so I can talk you through it

I've tried at least three times before to explain to this person how to do it and she keeps doing it wrong.

does this come off as snotty?

Not to me.

Not to me.

cool. In my head, the subtext is, "what is wrong with you? It's not that difficult!"

In my head, the aftermath is "cool! Someone's gonna help me without me having to ask first!".

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to ask... if I told you quarters must be ordered in boxes of $250 would you order $600 worth of quarters?

Eh, no.

oh I forgot to tell you the funny...

So D walks in with a box saying, "were you expecting something?"

And I'm all annoyed, "finally!" Because I was supposed to receive a gift for him on Thursday.

He hands me the box and I squeed, "but not from Israel... this is from Israel!"

"I was gonna say..."

"It's my secret santa gift! From Israel!"

"I get it now."

Ha!

I've looked at the picture you took about 5 times now. I love your smile, and I'm just so happy to know everything turned out great about this: it's the first Christmas gift I'm giving anyone! I was afraid my Jewishness is gonna screw me somehow about the procedure and doing things wrong.

Also, i don't know if you saw it yet, but the ceramics can also go to the into microwave, if you'd like to serve food in it. Instructions are on the back of it.
