Adventures in "what were they thinking?"

The electricity in our entire apartment runs through four 15-amp fuses. I just figured out that one of those fuses, (i.e. 25 percent of our unit's electricity) runs one outlet.

Wha?

Hungry

I suddenly have a craving for a Waldorf salad.

(In other news, we just survived a massive blizzard. How are you?)

In Soviet Union, alphabet sings you!

RAB: Abba, what letters are on your shirt?

A:Looks down, sees that his shirt says "Sputnik," in Russian. Hoo, boy.

Question for my non-Jewish friends

Is the term "gentile" offensive, or merely descriptive?

Babble-on

RAB's vocabulary has started expanding, and she currently has seven words that she uses reliably, including "no," which just she just started using yesterday.

An amusing anecdote:

Yesterday evening, I was feeding RAB dinner, and she was happily babbling away to herself while she was eating. She stopped eating, and looked around the room, still babbling. She then looked me straight in the eye, and let out a bit of babble that sounded suspiciously like "oh boy."

Immediately, I responded with "Sam, is that you?"

RAB's reply? "No."

(no subject)

Hi everyone.

Things here have been very busy, and I haven't had time to write things down. I'm actually dictating this using my new iPhone, because I don't have time to sit and type. Aliza's grandmother passed away last night and we'll be heading to Rochester for the funeral on Sunday. Understandably, things have been very hectic.

I promise that there'll be a longer post with some more interesting things later on but I just don't have the time right now.

New idea...

A Halloween candy idea for those that want to try it:

Marshmallows shaped like famous English diarists. I shall call them Samuel Peeps.
