FainaAgain Sep 29th, 2006 03:53 PM

And don't worry about me when you don't see "how was your weekend" on Monday - due to Yom Kippur.

starrsville Sep 29th, 2006 03:55 PM

Happy Yom Kippur, FainaAgain.

gomiki Sep 29th, 2006 04:01 PM

I was remiss...Happy Yom Kippur to FarinaAgain and all Fodorites who will be observing the Holiday.

Nora_S Sep 29th, 2006 04:04 PM

FainaAgain, and all--

Gmar chatima tova.

It is a holy day, but not a happy one.


gomiki Sep 29th, 2006 04:08 PM

Nora, thank you. That "happy" just slipped in there. It is a holy day.

starrsville Sep 29th, 2006 04:57 PM

I think it was "my bad". Sorry.

Nora_S Sep 29th, 2006 05:17 PM

Starrsville,

I meant it very gently---the tone doesn't come through in type. No "bad" here.

The easiest to say is "Good Yontif". That is also appropriate.

STW, I'm so sorry about your job, and glad that you look out for yourself! Many hugs to you ... ((f))

BayouGal Sep 29th, 2006 05:24 PM

((Y)) The <i> My Free Hug to You </i>thread.

((y))Our awesome vacation to Yellowstone, Cody, and the Tetons. [Trip report in progress.]

((y))Tomorrow is Election Day and my mother (age 77) is up for re-election.

((n))My friends on Fodor's and at home that are having health, job, and/or personal problems. God bless you all!

Nora,

My apology was sincere Lots of complaints tonight about snippiness - and I know I use a smart aleck voice a lot. But, I would never - and will never - do it (intentionally) where religion comes to play. My best friend from high school, Mitchell, would be VERY disappointed in me.

Best regards,
Starrsville

On another note - congratulations to Fodorites who are about to experience wonderful, wonderful things. We love you.

Rave: Iowa. God, <i>please</i> bless Iowa.

Rave: Friends who offer kindness, here, in &quot;Forumlandia&quot;, and in my real life. They make us feel better about the &quot;poopy heads&quot; in our lives.

Nora_S Sep 29th, 2006 05:59 PM

Oh dear, Starrsville--I think we got sideways on this one. I know you were sincere; and I was afraid I was the one who sounded snippy. I didn't want you to feel bad about it! I just wanted to let all sincere people know that &quot;happy&quot; is not the right blessing on this occasion. I am not observant----or I wouldn't be on the computer now---but I thought you (and all sincere Fodorites) might like to know what to say.

Still friends? OK?

starrsville Sep 29th, 2006 06:04 PM

Definitely! :-)

OldSouthernBelle Sep 29th, 2006 06:05 PM

Nora: I really not nothing about the day - but am willing to learn if you care to elaborate. ((F))

OldSouthernBelle Sep 29th, 2006 06:13 PM

That should be 'know'.

Fodorite018 Sep 29th, 2006 07:01 PM

Rave--It is Friday, and DH's bday. Made his favorite apple cake (ala Cooking Light, so no guilt!) and celebrated with a great bbq.

Rave--At the store today, I got carded!!! I thought the guy was kidding, but he said he was serious. I told him he made my day:)

Ethel--I will be thinking of you tomorrow!

Marigross--Congrats! Sounds like a fun thing to do!

STW--So sorry it did not work out, but you did the right thing. Unfortunately, a new job is sort of a crap shoot, you don't know for sure til you actually start.

Kureiff--Happy Birthday!

starrsville Sep 29th, 2006 07:15 PM

Happily ever after, Ethel!

starrsville Sep 30th, 2006 02:47 AM

Rave: Good and great things that are happening to Fodorites.

Rave: BG's politician - way to go! :-)

Rave: cmcfong's Rx - I will NEVER argue with that one :-)

Rave: Thought more bad news was coming at work. No - or, not yet.

Rave: Unexpected upgrades - that served as an HGTV &quot;real-life&quot; fix.

Big Rave! Off to the beach - and my favorite raw bar. SunshineSue, if you read this, I didn't contact because my plans changed continuously in the past 48 hours. Rain check, perhaps?

Have a great and safe weekend all!

(And, on Monday, ethel will be &quot;Sadie, Sadie, Married lady&quot;! :-)

iceeu2 Sep 30th, 2006 03:59 AM

Rave: Did I understand there a 2 bundles of joy in Iowa?

Rant: Ragweed makes my head ache.

OldSouthernBelle Sep 30th, 2006 04:29 AM

rave: I took my intro to scuba lesson yesterday!

rant: Trouble equalizing the pressure in my ears - instructor recommends I see a Dr. to get this checked out.

ethel: Here Comes The Bride.....((f))((F))((F)) da da ta da....:)).
