Jewish friends of mine have been asked what they (as Jews) do to celebrate Christmas.

Isn't the stereotypical answer "catch a movie, eat Chinese"? Is it still a rude question if you know multiple Jewish people who don't know each other that are going to do that same thing?

What the fuck makes a shy bladder? I think some of the weirdos at work are infecting me with coy coohie cooties--I can go into the bathroom, all the stalls but one are occupied, but no one makes a sound other than me the entire time I'm in there. Whatever they're there to do, it's either silent, or they put it on hold long enough for me to pee and wash hands (and that's the entire "Row, row, row your boat") and leave. Are they in a Mexican sitoff with each other? Knowing they're there, and not voiding makes me tense and harder for me to do my job.

Tom, that Onion article WOUNDS me. In my heart, I am WOUNDED.

oh, I should be looking for passover coke.

Corn syrup is (or can be, I should say) kosher for Passover, now, so I don't know that Passover Coke is still a thing. Not that I remember ever seeing it in the wild.

It was Passover Oreos I was always looking for, supposedly had blue filling.

Passover Coke really should not be a big deal down here, because with very little work I should be able to get Coke bottled in Mexico with sugar not corn syrup. And then there is always just buying Jones, or really just not drinking cola. The world has lost all of its magic. now I am forlorn.

I am continually surprised at how often the best way to manage adults is to treat them like toddlers.

Better that than 12 year olds.

They sell this in my Target.

If you get your sugared Coke fix by mixing syrup with soda water you get from pressing a penguin's beak, it's pretty magical. FYI.

ita, seriously do not get me started about how people act in the bathroom at work. And I am one of the shy/slow bladder people! (Especially if I wait too long, it just take me a while to go.) But the people who don't wash their hands! Or just pass them under the water and think that's washing? Or who don't flush properly! (Seriously, just turn around to see if it worked.) Or who want to have a work conversation with me in the stall! NO.

I have one co-worker who asks me every. damn. year. what my family is doing for Christmas, despite my answer having been, for the past 8 years, "We're Jewish."

I'm sure some Jews have traditional things they to on Christmas, but it's not the same as celebrating Christmas. It's just not our holiday.

I may be taking my kids to an egg hunt at the park on Saturday, but I wouldn't call that celebrating Easter.

I have now suggested we go for Ethiopian on Sunday. Fingers crossed the parents go for it. I am craving it.

Maybe I should make some fakey Ethiopia salad tonight and thaw out some injera. OMG now I am starving.
