How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Cool! I've got some that were too worn to donate anywhere.

Those are the perfect kind, Aurelia. They will get a new life this way.

Oh man. K just got the sick that I had yesterday. I hope Noah doesn't get it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If s/he was Reform, yes they are. Choosing which parts of traditional Jewish law to observe based on what's meaningful to you as an individual is pretty much the core of Reform Judaism.

Like I said in the next paragraph, he was just being a pain in the ass. I assure you. He wasn't Reform, his entire practice of Judaism was that he just didn't want pepperoni when we ordered pizza. Like I also said in the next paragraph, I've since known other people who observe in different ways. It's fascinating.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm not going to send it, but I made it anyway.

It made me laugh, Cash.

Does the kiddo even know s/he ate pork? It was in ball form after all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That card is awesome, and perhaps could only be improved with the addition of a cartoon pig: [link]

At that age, I probably would have said "yuck" to a pork hot dog, but I don't think I would have noticed if it was in a meatball. (This bothers me about most commercial vegetarian hot dogs -- they're all spiced to taste like pork hot dogs, since that's what most people grew up eating, but I grew up on Hebrew National and Sabrett's and, when I want a comfort food hot dog, I want one that tastes like processed beef parts, not processed pork parts. There's only one brand that tastes right, and it's nearly impossible to find in stores, even around NYC.)
