I'm in awe of Hil. I'm rescheduling my room cleaning to Thursday, myself.
I read a bit of Im Tirzu's site, and oh dear.
No! Don't do that! I read their forums once, trying to understand their brains. I realized two things: one, that their brains are very similar to my favorite spam: "I’m currently being held prisoner by the Russian mafia penis enlargement penis enlargement and being forced to post spam comments on blogs and forum! If you don’t approve this they will kill me". Two, that the true definition of "self hating Jew" is a leftist who reads their forums.
No! Don't do that!
Dude, I followed YOUR LINK.
I have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised -- the friend whose FB post I commented on (re: not a mosque, not being inaugurated on 9/11/11, etc., etc.) replied with this:
Stephanie...You are awesome!!!! Thanks so very much! You know I never really watch TV and I have been working so many hours lately that I haven't kept up with the times. Thanks so much for filling in the blanks for us!
It could be disingenuous or sarcastic, but I'm pretty sure it's not.
So that's something.
It was likely sincere, Teppy. I have a number of family and friends that depend on me to know actual facts.
IOLauraN, my son left on Saturday. Today is Tuesday and he just called to discuss moving home and working in the family business. I told him we would talk when I got home.
I am saddened by P-C's parents being so racist, but am happified by the rockists.
Heh, Ryan should be the poster boy of "Mixing! It leads to good things!"
Damn straight! [link]
There is also my Indian great grandfather, who AFAIK had a happy marriage with my great grandmother.
PS: Thank you everyone for the good wishes for Wallybee's Melbourne family.
Dude, I followed YOUR LINK.
Like most academic footnotes, rule 34, the debate about democracy and spell-checking, it was there for a reference; not for actual implementation.
With that note, I bid you goodnight.
Wow, lots of stuff going on. I was only away a couple days! Geez, guys, slow down with the "life" stuff already.
sj, lovely place for your wedding!
Mosque talk is interesting. I agree with the majority opinion here, which thankfully relieves me of having to expound on my views. Y'all already said it better.
P.-C., I hate to say I'm not surprised by your parents' reactions to your brother's girlfriend, but that's basically the exact same speech my mom gave me when she found out I was dating a black guy. Shame on the family, mixing is bad, don't expect me to invite him into my house, etc. I mean, living with him was a ginormous mistake on my part, but *race* wasn't the problem.
