Or is that just regular mice?
try:
Peanut Butter PC
Forget about sandwiches stuck in your VCR or crayons melting in your car… Today’s children have access to the center of your digital life. Just think of all the work and memories you have socked away on your computer’s hard drive. Now picture your kids (and their friends) playing bongo on the keyboard, or summarily executing your Word files with the swoop of a mouse. It’s not just possible… it’s probable.
Peanut Butter PC works to protect your electronic valuables by creating a fun and friendly desktop environment. One which provides access to only the programs and websites you choose. Best of all, your kids can’t break out of their desktop. Peanut Butter PC works from Startup to Shutdown providing the perfect learning environment while giving you peace of mind. And when you need to take control back, just enter a special key combination, and your back in Windows (with your files just as you left them).
…and your back in Windows…
ugh
It’s a good idea to eat some peanut butter on Purim too. There is a study about peanut butter helping some people feel a little better during their depression
Who gets depressed on Purim?
Hamen is loading up his truck as we speak.
Some researchers believe that tryptophan can have a positive effect on stress because this amino acid helps your brain produce feel-good chemicals. … You will find tryptophan in a variety of foods: turkey, chicken, bananas, milk, oats, cheese, soy, nuts, peanut butter, and sesame seeds.
Meno – I think Holidays are the most common time for people to get depressed.
Either because they don’t have family to spend it with, or because they do.
On the other hand, this is probably less likely to be the case with Purim than with other Holidays, since on Purim you get to go around town delivering mishloach manos and you spend the day with all of Am Yisrael as opposed to being home with your family.
The sick and elderly probably do get depressed on Purim though.
I’m sorry, LilmodU, because that’s maybe not how you meant it, but your first sentence there gave me such a good laugh:
“… or because they do” !!!
So in the spirit of that beautiful sentence–
On Yom Kippurim we ask mechilla and we are moichel others, and truly try to find forgiveness inside our hearts for all the family members who give us heartburn.
On Purim, we get a little tipsy and lightheaded, either from alcohol or just from simcha. Then we sit with those same relatives and laugh with them and laugh at them until we erase as many of the bad feelings as we can.
Le’Chayim!
Golfer – that actually is how I meant it. (although I did mean for it to be funny as well as serious, so I’m glad you laughed, because that was the point!)
I have seen articles on this topic. Both about how people tend to be more depressed on or after holidays either because of loneliness or unmet expectations, as well as the difficulties people face having to get together with family on holidays. I don’t remember if they were talking about Jews or goyim (probably both), but I think it’s something that applies to all people.
I once met a Frum married lady who happened to be a therapist I think, who had just returned from visiting her family. She was talking about what an expensive trip it was – aside from the plane fare, there was also the cost of the therapy that was needed afterwards!
Hi Meno,
The grammatical error was not kingdavid’s doing, but rather a typo on the Peanut Butter PC site. Thank you for pointing it out. We’ve made the correction.
A Freilichen Purim,
Peanut Butter Software
King David – maybe that’s why I like peanut butter cups so much – especially when I’m stressed.
Speaking of which, I’m expecting some tomorrow…
