I’d suggest a shpritz bottle of tepid water…. gentler.
I also think something for the upcoming Yontif- a unique honey dish or a pretty hand-painted plate to serve apples, or a nice fish platter (pewter?)… if not, then a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
I remember 32 yrs ago, @ the levaya of the Satmar Rebba ZT’L, being stared @ by the children so much so that I felt like they thought I was a shiksa. I had my 6 mo. old son in a stroller. my DH was by the men, of course; he’s Chassidish, so no problems for him. :/
(The Satmar Rebba,ZT’L, put my husband’s tefillin on him for the first time.)
we have a Mima (Aunt) Yenta. in recently years she calls herself ‘Yehudit”.
am yisrael chai~ I believe they’re from the Chicago area . (I remember blizzard posts). ….& yes, I know Chi-town’s not a state 😉
Refua sheleima b’karov to both!
if he’s from the UK, then we should be saying ‘braces’ instead of ‘suspenders’!
in the UK: ‘suspenders are what ladies’ use to hold up stockings, although this term was also used for the contraptions men used to use to hold up their socks’.
🙂
I prefer a light coffee & always drink Elite, plain &/or vanilla.
my DH prefers the strong(er) gourmet roast Taster’s Choice Nescafe, brown label.
my daughter said the Taster’s Choice hazelnut & vanilla only come in the small packets now (boxes of individual servings). they’re available @ Shoprite & I’m sure elsewhere.
Elite also makes vanilla coffee. I get it @ Mt. Fruit, but I’m sure it’s sold elsewhere.
my daughter told me a tree fell across Ave. N.. dunno what cross street.
am yisrael chai & ursula~ thanks 🙂
Jay was chainsawing it, Eugene was watching

Woodbourne!! “Approximately forty people were evacuated from a Private bungalow colony, located just below the former location of the Aladdin in Woodbourne at Hasbrouck Drive as runoff from the Neversink River flooded the area. All eight bungalows on the property are partially submerged with approximately one to two feet of water entering the units” ! :-O
so busy taking photos of our bungalow colony owner chainsawing the tree that cracked & fell near a bungalow about an hr. or so ago, that I was walking backwards, one foot went into a water-filled pothole, my Croc fell off & I started to lose my balance; twisted my leg around a bit trying to keep my balance, as I can’t fall!!, per dr.’s orders, cuz of my degenerating ribs 🙁 .. took a codeine & resting now. what a dodo!!

Sullivan County 911 system is down.
a tree cracked, broke & fell in our colony towards someone’s bungalow a short while ago….B”H all are okay. it’s still veryy windy up here.
I finally fell asleep a little after 5am. woke up around 8am to no power– which @ this bungalow colony means no running water, no toilet flushing(selicha). power went back up about 2 hrs. ago. lost power for 3-4 hrs. total. it’s drizzling & breezy now. B’H!
yes, thank you!
Amen! thank you.

I’m upstate. it’s been raining steadily. I love the sound of the rain, but it’s dripping down in 2 spots in my bungalow bedroom. the bungalows are 80+ yrs. old & in disrepair :/ I’m afraid to go to sleep, in case I havta get outta this bungalow fast, CV’S!! I’m alone in here & hope I don’t havta run over to my daughter’s bungalow 🙁

I don’t care if people read the responses or not, or if they say the same EXACT thing again ;-P
niiice!
since my sister moved from Seattle to Israel, I haven’t been back to Washington 🙁 … good times!
happy to hear you (must have) had an incredible time! 🙂
very sad that she hasn’t moved on 🙁
B’H I parted extremely amicably with my first husband.
my DH wasn’t as lucky with his 1st wife at the time of their parting, but then they were able to smooth things out.
thankfully, we brought no baggage into our marriage.
sounds like something I’d do, Goq :-O
re: the Brown’s Hotel~ when Reuben & Cecile Margolis took over as owners [about 22 yrs. ago] it was glatt kosher. (before that, it was just ‘kosher’). the hashgacha was from the Chof-K @ first, then Rabbi Reiss from the O-U. my husband was a mashgiach there that year. it was great– we’d pack up from nearby Ganz & go there every Fri.-Sun. .. then we went back up for Succos that year. 🙂
Izzy & Anita (‘Mom’s Knishes’ for the last several years) used to go to Ganz.. they were my neighbors there 🙂
sweet as sugar post, always runs…. 😀
thanks, Goq! I had the bestest, funnest time! 😉
ursula~ honestly never had a skunk in the bungalow in all my many years. haven’t seen any since I’m here this year. (LOL) 😉
but you gotta love 2-5 different linoleums in the kitchen!
ahh, Ganz ‘Resort’ 🙂
Ganz is still here … same as always … bungalows fixed with cardboard, tape, & spit 😉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GOQ!!!!!! hope this is your best year yet!!! 😀

I take a xanax, keep my eyes closed in a relaxed manner (not tightly shut), go to my ‘happy place’. didn’t they give you earplugs?
iy’H going up to the country tomorrow for a week or two 🙂 .. to the colony where my children grew up & now my daughter & family go.
I just listened to Kiki Dee’s “I’ve Got The Music In Me” (1974), just a few minutes ago. .. first music in 3 wks!!! 🙂
LOL, Goq!! 😀

HaLeiVi~ refuah sheleima b’karov!
Amen! And may Hashem answer all YOUR worthy tefillas! Happy Birthday! 😀
aries~ IMO good rock ‘n roll is music from the ’60’s & ’70’s.
OTOH– hip-hop, & “Gangsta rap.. a subgenre of hip hop.. reflects the violent lifestyles of inner-city American black youths.” with “lyrics [that are] more violent, openly confrontational, and shocking… featuring incessant profanity.”
