So since R was hospitalized last week (you know, for the FOURTH TIME in less than a year), every time anyone asks me how I am, I tend to reply “I’m an unmitigated basket case.” Which I was/am. We have no idea what’s going to happen, see, and everything is a huge mess.
What I’ve discovered, [...]

Well that will show me. Only moments after I posted this, I opened an email that had been sitting around, and, well…. just look.

Did you see what they called me? “One of our best customers.” giggle  I’m blushing almost as much as I do when Rabbi Kurt Schneider calls me “Beloved.”
But look what I [...]

For all three (ok, four) of you who might be checking back to see what’s what with me, I’ve got nothing. Sorry.
In case you don’t know, R was hospitalized again last Tuesday after her school called to report various stuff, and she was released on Friday just before Yom Tov. There are a few things [...]

For five years, every time I’ve cut the leaves off the top of a strawberry, I’ve given the leaves to my bunny rabbits. Whenever I’ve made anything calling for a sprig of parsley, I’ve given the rest of the parsley to the bunny rabbits. Whenever I’ve peeled apples or carrots, or cut the leafy tops [...]

Don’t let the date fool you. It ain’t September 2, it’s still September 1, only it’s really September 2 because it’s 12:47 AM. And as someone deftly pointed out to me earlier, today was not only my birthday, but it was the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Poland that started World War II. Nice. [...]
