'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
javachik, I marked your link. Even only from your description, it reads like such a lovely story, over such a difficult background.
safe/secured rooms
Shir, sorry, I can't help you with a better translation for these words. It's pretty literal, IMHO.
safe/secured rooms
I checked the Home Front Command site - they call it secure space.
Their name sounds very wrong in English.
Also in "things that are wrong": Nilly, the "Case Lead" name - I still can't get over it.
I laughed at first. Now it just feels like they're violating my favorite holiday. Not that it felt like one the past couple of days.
Their name sounds very wrong in English.
I'll stick to "secure room", if that's OK with you, thank you very much.
"Case Lead"
For the non-Hebrew-speakers and non-Hebrew-Hanukkah-songs-singers among us, the "cast lead" name is taken from a children's Hanukkah song, about the things prepared for the holiday - the mom makes latkes, the dad brings a dreidle (sp?) made of cast lead, and so forth.
And, yes, it's connecting two things that really shouldn't go together.
I'll stick to "secure room", if that's OK with you, thank you very much.
Oh, I meant the Home Front Command.
Case Lead
Should be Cast Lead. My bad.
Home Front Command.
Well, the name is a sort of contradiction in and of itself in Hebrew, too - the front at the back? How can you call it?
Rear Command...?
Dunno.
Update: Syria stopped the peace talks with Israel. One news source saying hospitals in the north are getting ready... to what?
Oy. Sending much peace and calm ~ma for Nilly and Shir.
That's all I got, really, other than the fact that being in the sheltering arms of the Buffistas, I tend to forget how stupid and reckless the rest of the world is.
Nilly, I'm hoping for a Hanukkah miracle and some peace over there soon. If not peace, I'll settle for no more people dying in the immediate future.
Safet~ma for your sister, Shir.
My sister and BiL left a bit ago to head back home. It was nice having family visit for the Christmas holiday.
They also helped us stack our woodpile on the front porch and get it under cover. Liv hauled wood in her sled while Owen hung out with our snowman.
