An Israeli field hospital for the Gazans is gonna start operate soon from the border, insha'allah.
That is good news. And may you and everyone you love be OK.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, it's a good thing. Surprising, but good. Hell, it's wonderful. My mom always wanted to work with PHR, too.
Plus, it's on the Israeli side of the border, she only left her details, so nothing is certain yet. She also hopes for payment, because we can't afford to volunteer at the moment. I hope she'll do it, and I'm very proud of her.
On the newscast, they say there were fire exchanges. 5 rockets landed in Sderot few minutes ago. What cease-fire...?

The field hospital sounds like good news, and I hope that your mom can work out a way to work there, and everybody stay safe.
ION, there are drunk people being very loud outside my window. WTF? The windchill is 14. Keep your party inside!

Maybe they're suicidal drunk people, Hil.
And how are you?

I'm pretty good. Staying inside to keep away from the crowds, mostly. (I'm a few blocks from where all the inauguration stuff is happening, so the neighborhood is filled with both tourists and security people. A few blocks away this afternoon, a car hit a tree, and people heard a crash and saw smoke and started shouting "Get down!" and finding things to hide behind.) The big opening ceremony/concert is tomorrow, and I've been considering going to that, but it's cold and it'll be crowded. I think I'll check the webcam a bit before heading over to see if it's worth it to try to see anything.

That's pretty much the description of where I live, only goes for the city, not so much my neighborhood.
And I say go out. Worst case, come back in if you won't like it.
I'm psyched about my mom's news. If that will happen, 50% of my nuclear family would be in the front, doing what I see as mostly good. Which will mean I'll have to take care of my dad and the house more than usual, but I think I can live with that.

Huh. People are getting louder. Maybe this is something other than a party? I can't see anything from my window.

My upstairs neighbor is hammering something. You have got to be kidding me. It's 2:30 in the morning. The outside people seem to have quieted down, though.

I'd say it's time to show out your sniper's qualifications, but given the current security in your neighborhood, I wouldn't like you to get arrested.

Generally, when it gets loud outside like this, I can't actually see the people. My window faces an alley, and sounds from the street echo through it.
