There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

This groupon deal may be of interest to some buffistas.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I was on my way to the dog park with my dog when the sirens went on in Jerusalem, in a street I don't really know, so I didn't know where to go and looked around for a place I can take shelter in. After ~10 seconds a door opened, I walked towards it. Turns out it was a synagogue (now, that was after Shabbat entered). So I walked in there with my dog while I'm talking on the phone with my family and getting updates for all of the orthodox folks. All were very friendly to me and to my dog, and it was actually kindda nice. At one point, someone asked if we have Iron Dome here. After learning that the answer it negative, he asked what is suppose to protect us. I replied, quite dramatically, "God". Everyone laughed. This neighborhood is pretty great sometimes, and I'm deeply amused; Guys, a synagogue saved me on Shabbat's night.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Popeye's is totally a holiday tradition in New Orleans.

Shir, I'm glad to hear you are safe. My cousin, who is currently in Israel (not sure where) with his BF was really freaked out by the sirens last night.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

They're alarming, I admit. But that's their job, to alarm us to safety.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I absolutely understand that, but it was the first time he had heard one, and he has been in Israel for a while now, so his response was to freak out a bit.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I understand. That was my response when I was 13. I had the experience of the Gulf war in 1991, but I was too young to understand that during that war. I can only say that you do get used to it.

Is he OK now?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think so. I wish he would check in on facebook more often. The family is obviously worried.

Guys, a synagogue saved me on Shabbat's night.

This is beautiful, Shir. I'm so glad they welcomed you and your pooch.
