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.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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?

“Not dead yet!”
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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Update: same as last time (demonstrations, rocket attacks, etc.), only with one dead Palestinian and two others wounded in demonstration in Nili'in (sp?). And oh, how lovely, in the riots in the neighborhood next to my they're now throwing Molotovs as well as rocks. I'm starting to be slightly concerned about walking to uni if this would last. As far as I know, anyone can enter/get out of there - it's not really a refugee camp per se. Hell, there are plenty of houses over there I won't be able ever to afford.
IDF entering the Strip seems realistic at the moment, judging by the news and reports.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Thank you so much for the updates. Both of you and your families are in all the Buffistas' thoughts right now. I'm wishing any possible peace and safety to everyone in your country right now, and any possible sanity to the leaders on all sides on whom your safety depends, and wishing any of us had the power to do more than just wish for you.

This makes me think of the teachers who threaten to have eyes in the back of their heads.
Oh, and Barb and Cashmere and JZ and everybody - thank you, so very much. The sympathy and well-wishes are, to me, the most important (and far from obvious) thing to do for us, now. Thank you.
