Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
but a lot of tension has developed between my wife and my younger daughter's SO. So much so that I don't think my wife will be seeing my younger daughter. I tried to defuse the situation but it didn't take.
I'm sorry, Gud. Nobody needs that over the holidays.
just the act of gathering together, Jews and Arabs, and putting in time and intention in a non violent and hopeful direction gives me hope.
I am on the side of the people, who are amazingly finding ways to live and work together in spite of the best efforts of their terrible, terrible political leaders.
Absolutely that, yes
In one of the kinder things I've seen, someone suggested sending one or both of the U.S. hospital ships to Israel/Palestine and making their services available. Something like 1,000 beds each with doctors, nurses, ancillary services, and plentiful medical supplies. One way to get the injured and non-combatants to someplace out of the actual fighting.
Oh look, it's dark out. And has been for some time. It must be three o'clock in the morning....

Nope. 6:37pm.
So thanks to sj and ltc, I just impulse-bought myself two rock advent calendars on my phone while trapped under a cat. Sometimes the laziness enabled by modern technology is a little frightening.
(BUT shiny rocks to give to kiddos next Halloween sooo…)
Also count me in for wishing that people would treat other people as they’d like to be treated. We are all people.
I knew the rock advent calendar would be something the buffistas would appreciate.

One of the rocks from my advent calendar last year was so cool that I still intend to make a pendant out of it.
A hostage deal and a temporary truce will be brought to the government's vote in a few hours. I'm holding my breathe until this is decided and the kids are back home (OK, not home because of the mass evacuation, but in Israel). We really need some good news about it.
Also, I hereby present the most accurate geopolitical analysis of the Israeli-Arab conflict I've seen to date, which also answers the question, "how are you holding up?" [link]

I hope the deal passes!
