    Vacuuming sounds less exhausting to me. Think of putting everything back after the great shake out!

    Is there a lack of shtenders? There is one in my boys room closet, I tried to get rid of it, but didn’t succeed.

    Isn’t Utah the place where MBD tells the people who think Yerushalayim is for sale to run back to, before the mountain top opens wide and swallows you inside?

    Jello is a squiggly colorful non food that used to be served at simches in the seventies I think. Leave that stuff to the historians.

    Yesterday I put my 2 year old little monkey in the bath, the only place where he doesn’t do any damage, and babysat him in the bathroom for almost an hour. While he ‘swam’ I crochet.

    My brother got married in Eretz Yisroel around fifteen years ago. It is some of the nicest memories I have. The whole family was there, it was beautiful.

    My husband and I were at a museum in Israel many years ago, and I watched a couple in the vicinity who were obviously on a date. I felt really bad for them. Awkward!

    Why would people want to date in public? So random people can observe them, and notice how awkward they are???

    If you are comfortable already ok, but first few dates? Spare yourself and go somewhere private, like your sister’s living room.

    One idea a friend gave me a couple years ago that works well, is to make cupcakes with the cake batters. The kids love it, and it makes less crumbs than cutting slices of cake.

    It pays to invest in a cheap standing mixer, for the cakes, the hand mixers consume a ton of time.

    Sayit, Mammele is worth listening to. She is obviously a great bal habusta. (except for the hot plate for frying. get a big frying pan that comes with a glass cover, it will help keep your kitchen nice and clean.)

    OK Lawyer I thought Africa would be a nice challenge.

    The only grape juice we buy is Kedem. The first time I drank a different brand was on a trip to Israel, and the taste was awful. (except that an Israeli guest we hosted recently, thinks our Kedem is awful tasting and his Israeli brand is delish.)
