I don’t usually buy into that business of telling people they shouldn’t be upset about whatever they’re upset about because there are other people in the world with worse problems. The way I see it, there will ALWAYS be someone in the world with worse problems than someone else in the world. That doesn’t mean [...]

THREE different people have asked me in the last week when I’m going to update my blog. I told them “never, because I’m sick of hearing myself complain,” and ALL THREE of them said that they are not sick of hearing me complain. Since three people amounts to approximately 25% of my readership, I figured [...]
How many pizza bagels should I plan to eat? Last time I had them I ate five. I’d planned for four, and then laughed at myself when they were gone, and admitted I wanted another one. By which I mean, I asked G to make me another one. Heh.

Yes, I am posting two days in a row. Hold on to your heartbeats.
Before I forget (again), here is an excellent story about my son, which I intended to share in last night’s post.
So there we were at the glasses store, and the girls had chosen theirs, and the Boy had broken his, and we [...]

Making lists is boring. We leave, please God, for our annual road trip to good old St. Louie in approximately three weeks. I figured since all I’m really good for these days is sitting in one place, I could get a nice big jump start on the lists of things to bring (plural listS because [...]
It has not escaped our notice that yesterday and today were/are… the anniversary of R’s stroke. Of course it would be swell if it DID escape our notice, or if our notice would (could) escape IT, but that isn’t how it goes. There is no July 6 or 7 anymore; there’s just, well, you know. [...]

I found the Boy’s sandals! Didn’t even have to do the גורל הגר”א. Two friends to whom I was miserably complaining over the last 1+ weeks about how I couldn’t find them had suggested I check the hamper in the living room, because, as you of course already know, the Boy spent two Friday nights [...]
We’re going to try to write something without swearing. Ready? It won’t be easy. If you want to know how I’m really feeling, imagine that everything you read here is laced with profanity.
Wouldn’t it be swell if my heartburn went away? Yes. That would be swell.
Of course, I’d never use such language on a public [...]
Vote in the comments section. If you want to see me swear on this blog — I mean really swear, not the usual somewhat inappropriate language I might use, but really bad words, not becoming — well, anyone, really — say so, and if enough people vote in favor, perhaps I’ll post what I wrote [...]
