    We used to be able to order kosher food from Chicago when there were still a lot of older members who kept kosher … all frozen and one had to plan meals for 3 months. The shipping cost was pro-rated among those who ordered. – based on size of order. very fair. Then the food was delivered to the shul and we picked it up. In today’s world. so few us – except for Chabadniks that we drive to Dallas, Kansas City or wherever we can find large Jewish communities. During Pesach, a few stores carry some basics – I’m told that a few more stores are carrying kosher products but it is mostly for stuff I don’t eat. My solution was to go vegan – I make exception for eggs and fish. Not a hard nose! :-)

    I miss being where one can find Jewish delis – particularly kosher delis! Here. not even a Jewish style deli. The closest we had was a bagel shop and they went belly-up during the pandemic. I have gone to the Chabad Center for dinner – when it isn’t on Shabbos or Yentif (way to far to drive.)

    I could argue for either of these choices; in the bar where i was a bartender, obviously the “‘fancy name”; in some Latino businesses, the basic name because some Latinos believe Aericanos are rich.

    I thought about after I posted it .. “to VCR” does sort of sound cool … at least until someone asks you what is a VCR? I got caught on explaining why people would get excited about push button phones instead of using rotary dial phones; I kept my mouth shut about party lines and giving the operator four numbers – I already felt old as dirt, LOL.

    To make up for yesterday’s small success, I managed to lose the entire day. My HVAC crew set me up with a digital thermostat when I got the new ac in May; we had a cold snap so I had to get heat on – far easier with a mercury thermostat, plus no need to set up the heat temperature! By noon I had it working and actually solved most of the problem using a somewhat faulty memory – they forgot to leave instructions. No one at the company knew the answer to what happens in an electrical outage and if all settings are lost. A text saying it is time for oil change on my car added the stress I lost yesterday back on my shoulders. Typical Monday! With High Holy Days starting next week, I’m screwed, Thanks for letting me kvetch!!!

    I don’t think anybody uses VCRs in today’s world – think I’ll stick to procrastination … I did, however, meet one of two deadlines earlier! My extra surprise deadline with 5 days remaining came from Federal Court who could impose prison time for failure to comply! So grateful I could do it online! It was long and took over an hour. Can you imagine completing it by hand? OY!

    That being said, you’re right about them being quite a pair! I hope you had a great Sunday!

    You are correct – new things, new smells and changes in routine too! Miracle. my cat, will come get me when the postman arrives.

    I’m equally guilty; it’s probably why it takes me so long to answer answer emails!

    I’m reading it; you lost the bet! :-D

    I originally typed Auntie in American style – changed to to Brutish spelling to eliminate confusion:

    Auntie is more commonly used in American English, but it has the same meaning as the word aunty, which is more commonly used in British English

    I would have said Aunty Psychedelic Therapy.
