Feeling even more love for Ezra Klein. Which, frankly, I didn't think was possible as Rachel and Keith love him and he looks like a long-lost Eppes brother anyway(In my book, lovable things) But his name seems to fit his work on the Washington Post on top of everything.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

[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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh, and for people who find Israeli slang interesting: let me introduce you to what "goat" means in slang.
"A goat fell on me" - someone told me to do a task I really don't want to do and which bothers me. i.e., "where am I supposed to find an open supermarket during Sabbath?"/"I'm suposed to pick up WHO? From WHERE?!". Mostly used as "Oh man, don't ask [about] the goat that fell on me...".
"He got a goat" begins to have the similar meaning of "he had a cow", but the use of it is still pretty rare.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Shir, it's unlikely, but would that have anything to do with the Jewish story about the man whose rabbi advises him to move his goats into his house? The Girl likes that story. When we get overwhelmed, we talk about "too many goats."

Have any of you had severe pancreatitis and/or a feeding tube that bypasses the pancreas? Email me if so. I'm trying to help Drew cope.

Different spelling. Nora(h) (private name) is נורה, nora(h) (adj.) is נורא.
Are they pronounced differently?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Shir, congratulations on the DJ gig. How cool.
Drew, if you get enough feeding tubes coming out of your nose you can probably go as Cthulu for Halloween.
Sorry, that's all the silver lining I have. I do hope your body rallies and disinfects quickly. This must be so hard on both of you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Pix--My uncle had cancer of the esophagus a couple of years ago and had a nasal feeding tube. After the first day, he said it stopped being really noticeable. I know they had to take it out once a day and flush it out with carbonated water. And my mom, who is literally the klutziest person on earth, was able to do it so I know it is manageable.

Hm. The tube he has has to be placed by a specialist because it goes all the way to the small intestine, so I doubt I'll be taking that out and putting it back in on my own.

Who was it yesterday who suggested I cut out wheat for my joint pain? Thank you. I was googling today instead of working and the sypmtoms - joint pain, mouth ulcers, trapped wind, diarrhoea, tiredness? My husband just said "Those symptoms describe your whole life!"
So yeah, I'll be trying the wheat free diet for a little while, I think.
