It’s kind of creepy to know that a regular person could be spying on you with a drone.

Ones that weigh “more than two sticks of butter” need to be registered with the FAA (CNN… quoted from memory, closed the tab after reading and not opening it back up right now… to keep this train of thought).

The cool thing is that a journalist can use a drone, which can help in places where journalists are excluded, or it is dangerous.

Do you have to be using the remote control continuously for it to fly? Does it have a hover or autopilot?

It would be cool if you could make home movies with it, like video taping family or a party without having to pull out a cell phone or camcorder (is that the modern word?).

LU, a lot of times I check. Maybe I can make a thread with a list of all the words already used and each post can be alphabetized.

It’s okay if the word is used again. I mean it’s nice to have new words. It helps to remember the word when it is just two per post. I noticed that I don’t remember the words that I read when they are sandwiched in between.

Do you have any ideas?

I know a few cool outdoorsy people who love their suburu station wagons that they take on their outdoorsy adventures.

For me though they are not fun and I don’t want one.

I can understand why one wouldn’t want a minivan either. Supposedly the sliding door and seating is super useful when one is loading and unloading kids.

A company in Israel is making an unmanned flying ambulance drone that’s like a flying car to pick up hurt passengers.

It’s designed to be more effective than helicopters.

Oh. My guess was that you wanted to sit next to someone frum because of tznius, lack of lashon hara (or at least the language would be somewhat censored), maybe that person knows your beshert, the person may also order a special kosher hashgacha, and you can talk devrei Torah on the plane.

Btw, I never call to reserve a ticket. Besides a random time that I bought it the same day at the airport, all other flight purchases were made online. I paid for the flight before selecting a seat.

Sometimes even when I have a boarding pass printed out, the seat was changed by the airline when I check-in. So during check-in, I confirm that I have an aisle seat. If not, they find one for me, B”H.

Possibly. Maybe since she knew that you are frum, making sure that you sat next to another woman was part of her job/service.

I don’t know. I’ve done this before. Several months ago. I’m tired of thinking about it. Been thinking in circles.

When it comes time, and someone B”H will be here to help me actually go car shopping, I want to know what I want.

The whole confusion is really envisioning where I want to be down the road.

I listened to a shiur on shidduchim today. This rabbi is very different from Rabbi Manis Friedman, who says that your spouse has already been decided for you and to put your list away. This rabbi from the shiur is really big on making a list and focusing on whether or not this person fits your list and your vision.

One thing he said is to consider who you actually are. If someone doesn’t like waking up early and learning, one shouldn’t just marry a woman who expects her husband to be davening in a minyan three times a day. He may say that he really is this good learner inside, and the right woman will bring that out in him, but generally he isn’t being honest with himself.

So am I like that boy, thinking about needing a car to juggle a future family or life, while today I really only am at this level?

Or…

Is it like growing, where today I would have never guessed that I would be doing what I am doing, living where I am living, and loving the universe as it is, had I mapped out my life five years ago. No way no way would I have ever believed that I would have come this far. So why limit myself and think that all I deserve is a muznach rechev/mechoneet that needs frequent maintenance and does shaky things? Why not just accept that just because I have a less than metzooyan car today does not mean that tomorrow I won’t be capable of something better.

Especially now I want to grow and fulfill my purpose in this universe, as Hashem Willed for me.

Part of that is getting over the hurdle of finding a new shell for myself, new vehicle, and is this something like making a Must Have list for Shidduchim? Or is it pre-determined and do I need to pray and trust that the right car for me will come, even if it doesn’t look like it right away?

What’s a blueberry?

Taste Test Results Are In:

-The egg yolk is slightly translucent and more jelly-like in sodium benzoated hard boiled eggs.

The winner goes to Trader Joe’s hard-boiled eggs, which are actually labeled hard cooked eggs.

Thanks and stay tuned for news from our sponsor!

LU! You’re so smart. So true! Hmmm…

Thanks LU and Meno for the feedback… just meant that the separate section on the bus, for women, is halachically-based.

I meant the literal back of bus because that section is away from men’s line of vision. Which makes sense in terms of traveling and the seats facing forward. Yet I see how that sentence was very charged, and that’s my bad in constructing it so cliche.

I know someone who works for El Al. I want to ask her if they are trained on how to ask customers to change seats due to religious reasons [didn’t say “issues” this time :)].
