Olaf the Troll ,'Showtime'
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.
I just sent off an email to some of my Israeli cousins, and to Nilly, making sure they're all OK.
I don't know what else to do. I'm reciting psalms, because that's what I'm supposed to do in times like these.
Half my Twitter feed now is Jews in mourning, and the other half doesn't even know what happened.
And now the performative anti-Zionists have found out about it. (Most of the Jews killed were probably anti-Zionist, but understanding nuance doesn't get you likes on Twitter.)
Wishes for a very happy birthday to Gris! May the year to come be filled with love and joy.
Also find on the birthday calendar that a certain rapidly growing child in Australia has rounded the calendar once again. Happy birthday to Ryan!
And I am with all my siblings in Bonita Springs celebrating my sister Judi's 71st birthday. We went to the movies last night to give her new wheelchair a test run. I had to do quite the run to go up the incline into the theater, then had the fun of pretending run-away wheelchair going out. I think there were 2 other people in the theater. One employee doing tickets and snacks and everything.
ION, Dana! You know who she is! Admit it!
I was going to say that if she's writing these days, it's very likely C-drama, but not if she was on LJ back in the day. Hmmmm.
Such awful news about the deaths in Israel. Has anyone heard from Shir?
I heard back from Nilly -- she and her family are all OK. And I heard the same from my Israeli cousins.
That's good, Hil.
Not sure if I said earlier but Gris that is both excellent and ducked up that your wife is flying to New Orleans to get a vaccine!! I mean yay that she can, but boo that she needs to? I hope you can get vaccinated soon too and that her trip goes smoothly!!
It is back to raining again here. I don’t mind so much, in the morning, it feels calmer. But mostly I’m just always happy once we are at >12 hours of sunlight so...yay!
Plus it’s Friday. Thank god. I have a crap ton of emails in my inbox about the parts of my job I like least, which I have been dealing with a ton lately, so that’s stupid.
But also yay fanfic writers being big shots!
Half my Twitter feed now is Jews in mourning, and the other half doesn't even know what happened.
I saw brief coverage of the stampede during the Lag Ba'omer commemoration on MSNBC, this morning. It's heartbreaking. I'm glad your cousins and Nilly are okay.
Hil, I'm so very sorry, and it's good to hear that your family and Nilly are safe.
Dad's home and wearing a heart monitor for 30 days; the doctors said "Whatever happened, it definitely wasn't a heart attack, but you had a quad bypass not THAT long ago, so you get to be Two-Phones Parker for a month". He said that he was vexed that they would not put the sirens on for his ambulance ride. I am very grateful that he was at a friend's when he collapsed, and that said friend was a retired police officer living next door to two paramedics, none of whom put up with Dad's "No, I'll be fine in a minute".
