I packed my 6 shaloch manoses. I was only gonna make 2, but then the list just kept on growing. Of course my family buys cases of stuff so if anyone pops by that I didn't intend to give, I can just throw something together.
I was not gonna dress up this year, cuz I'm not into costumes really. But then I decided to pull something together, so now I'm a cowgirl, with straw hat, bandanna, jean jacket pigtail braids and all. I can see why some people enjoy dressing up, because it was fun once I decided to do it, but I don't generally dress up.
Hope everyone has a fun-filled purim. Drink a lechaim, but no more than four. Make sure to give tzedaka and think of someone else. You can donate online here. It is for matanos levyonim in Israel, and they will give out the money on Purim.
A freilechin (happy) purim to all!
p.s. Despite the fact that I was sick, I had a happy purim after all. My friend dressed as a hippy, and we had fun distributing our shaloch manoses together. Hope everyone's purim was just as great, or better.
I found this t-shirt cute
Wow - this article is quite a study in contradictions!!
ReplyDeleteReally? Care to point them out? Because I see none.
ReplyDeleteI think they are fairly obvious.
ReplyDelete1) Mother - F. A mother usually denotes a kind loving entity, while 'F' generally means quite the opposite.
2)If you cannot swallow, how can you take cold and flu medicine?
3) The costume you chose is actually a complete costume and very extreme in nature.
4) The very title of the post. The post is entitled 'happy Purim', while the context is how your purim is not happy at all.
5)Sometimes saying happy purim and sometimes a frielichin.
3) A cow girl is not extreme.
ReplyDeleteYou nit-pick way too much. But thanks for pointing all that out.
You will be happy to see I resolved all of your so-called "contradictions".
ReplyDeleteIm horrified that you actually took that seriously. Those were simply the only thing which I thought someone can view as contradictory.
ReplyDeleteOh, and you did not switch them all. You still havent resolved how you managed to swallow the medicine :)
I guess I'm getting soft.
ReplyDeleteYes I did I said I can 'hardly' swallow, which indicates that I can swallow a little bit, therefore I can take the medicine.
I guess so.
ReplyDeleteSorry I didnt notice that. I guess whats left now is to wait for 'Mushkaronious' to come back, and see if those were the contradictions she had in mind :)
If like ur not a costume person, you don't wear a costume - you don't just throw somethng together. Especially if u aren't a costumne person. So I think you ARE a costume person.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if ur plan was to shalach manos, then the reality is u probably just wanna fulfill the actual mitzvah - which is veru commendable btw. except those words are barely out of ur mouth when ur like up to 6 - and even more!!! So there goes that theory. Plus the whole bailout - if anyone comes over i got tons of stuff anyways. I'm curiuos if ud tell us how many shalach manoses you actually gave out -
BTW - I Am a costume person and I my costume got me in some hot water with the 'rents. As usual. :)
Even if you arent a costume person, there always is peer pressure. Everyone else wears one, so you say fine, I will too.
ReplyDeleteYou start off planning on only planning on giving 2 people for the mitzva. Then you realize that your social obligations obligate you to give more than that.
Relying on the 'bailout' doesnt always work. If you go out and deliver your mishloach manos, dont get any in return, and then come home and have someone come to give you, you are stuck. Personally i dont view it as stuck, and I'll simply not give them, but some people cant 'bring themselves' to do that.
Anyhow, regarding the "'rents" thing. If 'rents was in reference to parents, that is contradictory. Do you rent from them, or do they rent from you? Either way, a renter has no solid connection to the thing they are renting. It is a temporary arraignment. Parents on the other hand, as annoying as it may sometimes be, are permanent. In the future it would be advisable to shorten your words in ways that make sense.
One more thing on the 'rents thing. If the intent was to shorten what you wrote, it was not accomplished. 'The 'rents' is 9 letters, as is 'my parents'. In the end it would have been the same, the only difference is that one would make you seem a bit more with society.
ReplyDeletelol - i wish i had a personal defender too :)
ReplyDeletea) Costume ppl NEVER bow to peer pressure -
b) ppl who give for the mitzvah don't succumb to social pressure - thats for the rest of us :)
c) you need to get with the slang of todays youth pops
Oh, its not a personal defender, its someone who came home from work, is sitting at the computer and is slightly bored :)
ReplyDeleteMy answer to your point one and two, is your point number three :) (Just replace slang with social behavior)
Sorry, sweets, but im not sure where in life you think i'm holding. I'm still part of 'todays youth', and have a good few years until I 'graduate' from that status. I just try avoiding terms and acronyms which have discrepancies with the word they are meant to represent, (Even if they are listed by urban dictionary as representing the word it was used to replace).
"sweets" lol. u should be so lucky
ReplyDeleteso ur saying all youth bows to peer pressure? Hmm i guess theres no room for individuals in ur world.
i know ur not old - i was just playin - cause u sound like an old man :)
I figured it would be an appropriate response to 'pops';P I guess I'll take ur word for how lucky i'd be.
ReplyDeleteIn 'my world' individualism is a valued trait. In the 'real' world however, it is often frowned upon.
You do not 'know', you assume. In actuality I can be a 76 year old lady in a nursing home using her ipad to visit blogs. (Although how she would have figured out how to blog, let alone use an ipad is beyond me). That could be why you think i sound like an old man ;P (which I dont think i do!)
BTW, im not 100% sure, but I dont think ive seen you on this blog before. If this truly was your first time commenting (at least under that name) as the 'director' apparently failed to fulfill her duties as a host and welcome you, I would like to extend a warm welcome of my own. Merry Blogging.
Dreadlocks- I am not accustomed to 'welcoming' people to my blog, and I don't think of myself as a director or host, but if you feel it is in order then thanks for extending it. (Welcome Mushkaronious)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, I don't think I've ever seen a 'mushkaronious' here before, unless shes been here as anonymous.
Mushka- I'm not a costume person.
I do just want to fulfill the mitzvah, although like dreadlocks said, it becomes a social thing and feelings get hurt if you miss out people who thought of you. Either way, I did end up only giving 6.
What costume did you wear?
And btw mushka, I think the 'slang of todays youth' is horrible, and it is sad how the English language is going down the drain, especially spelling and grammar.
I just think it adds a 'homey' touch. Its nice when the director / hostess (there has to be a better word, both of those sound way to rigid) acknowledges a new member to the clan.
ReplyDeleteLOL, this coming from the person who wrote that her cold left her feeling like a mother f.
I believe the correct term to refer to the author of a blog is 'blogger'.
ReplyDeleteNo, I said my throat was killing like a mothre f. And yes it was. There is no better way to say it.
I at least pride myself on my superb English skills and the ability to string two words together that don't start off with 'yo' or 'watup'.
Blogger is an ambiguous term. While commenting on the blog I am also a blogger. There must be so term for the proprietor of a blog.
ReplyDeletethere sure are better ways to say it. That is simply uncouth. You could have said something like ' Streaks of pain were shooting from my throat, enveloping my body, making me wish i was dead. Oh, the pain!' ;PP
The correct term would be 'wazup'.
You are quite a dramatic. I think my way of saying it was straight to the point, and blunt. Just the way I like it.
