Abe, I just made my headache worse trying to explain kitnyot to someone... O.o

have no idea about this website, but i googled it. It sounds like it's a "better safe than sorry" policy?

here's the link.

[meggers49]

ok folks, gotta get ready for a visit to the eye doctor. 'see' you later.

[blazer]

I get it from you.:razz:

:hug:

[Meriweather]

Nope, can't do a darn thing about it.

Sometimes life seems to put us in these circles, not so that we can keep circling so that we can enter the next upward spiral. Take another look, Hadassah. Instead of circling this time, see if there isn't something you can do to step upward into the spiral.

[Hadassah]

Power tools are awesome. :dance:

[Abe]

Ick. I've never really liked it. Matzah with cream cheese and jam is okay. Not great, but bearable. Matzah brei I like. But just matzah? blech.A Matza sandwitch with butter in the middle. טעם המן The Taste of Manna, with more calories than 5 roast beef sandwitches. I also love it crumbled and put in soup, like croutons. A perfect addition, during the Seder, to Matza-Ball soup.

[Abe]

You can have BBQ. Just not BBQ pork.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so missing out on shrimp has never been an issue. And I'm not a big pork fan. I do like BBQ chicken, though.I could kill for fried oysters. My mom is allergic to shellfish.

[Abe]

Abe, I just made my headache worse trying to explain kitnyot to someone... O.oOy Vey. What a can of (Kosher) worms.

[Abe]

A great day to all assembled here. :):)

[RayMan]

Likewise I'm sure.

[Abe]

i have been looking for garlic matza. nobody has it. either that or everyone ELSE is looking for it and bought it all before i got to it.

the everything isn't bad. just tastes like heavy saltines to me.I prefer the traditional, plain, unsalted.

[Abe]

Nah, I don't live in Texas. :razz:That's a vicious distortion of Texans. We prefer guns and religion.

Morning Devotional


And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hu****hite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued. And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver’s beam. And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him. These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. (1 Chron. 20:4-8)

Break Through, and Set New Precedents!

When Saul was king of Israel, there were no giant slayers in their midst; so when Goliath stood against the armies of Israel, the Israelites trembled! There was, however, a young shepherd, whose intimate knowledge of His God inspired and empowered him to fight the evil giant, and defeat him.

David’s victory over Goliath paved the way for those after him to slay the giant’s offspring, who were also giants. So when those giants arose to fight, they already had knowledge that they could be defeated. David’s breakthrough had set a powerful precedent for all of Israel’s “mighty men”.

All around us there are “Goliaths”, evil giants…but none of them are “undefeatable”. In fact, we have an entire Bible full of examples of saints who stood their ground and routed their enemies. Let’s follow their example, and set new precedents fighting the giants of our day. We too can leave a legacy of victory in our life.

I wouldn't trust that site. At least not as a halachic authority. It really depends on where one's family is from. Some people have certain things they consider kitnyot, other don't. My family doesn't have a problem with peanuts/peanut products, but does have a problem with corn. So there you go.

Hi. What have you been up to?

Road tripping.

What kind of trouble have you been getting into?

[Meriweather]

Road tripping.

For pleasure, or does it have to do with finding a facility for your beloved daughter?

I've been so well behaved that I'm sure someone (perhaps Free2Be?) is composing a poem praising my conduct.

Next week she gets tested, that should help guide us. All we have right now is the place we can't afford.

Now that we are internet capable, I need to get back to looking.

Have you thought any more upon being open to government assistance?

[vir doctus]

Have you thought any more upon being open to government assistance?

I am open if someone has some suggestions.

Here are our hurdles -

1. Handsome makes a decent living (but not decent enough to pay $100,000 a year for school)
2. We are not residents of the state we live in because we move every 2-3 yeas
3. Daughter's IQ scores make government suits think she is too normal for assistance

No idea is too strange for us to consider.

have no interest in the site, i was just wondering if the explanation was good.

[Mimiheart]

ah..........ok, so........why?Why is garlic matzah not kosher l'pesach?

Matzah has lots of very specific things that have to be done for it to be kosher for Passover. Whole wheat matzah and egg matzah can be kosher for Passover if they are certified and there's a health reason you can't have regular matzah. Because it tastes richer than regular matzah, it doesn't qualify as bread of affliction.

Garlic matzah, however, is super-tasty. ;) The commercially available kind isn't made with kosher for Passover flour, the care isn't taken to make sure that it doesn't rise the way that matzah for Passover is. Also, for some, garlic is one of those bizarre kitnyot things...

Pretty much. Now it just feels kind of like a bruise.

We had a little too much excitement last night. At about 11:00 my husband was going to come to bed, but when he went into the hallway he was assaulted by an awful smell. My daughter was asleep in a giant pool of vomit. I violated the terms of my parole and got up and helped him get everything cleaned up. Then I gave her a bath while he went to Wal Mart to buy some pedialyte. I held her until he came home. He made her crib and put her back to bed. She slept well the rest of the night, and according to the report of my friend who watched her today she has been fine today, although a little lethargic this morning, but no more throwing up. I have been extra good today not getting out of bed hardly at all to make up for my bad behavior yesterday.

I am so sorry about your little one--and glad to hear she feeling somewhat better. I'm also happy and relieved to hear that you are being extra good today. Isn't it horrible to have to consider taking care of your daughter "bad behavior"? Thank goodness this time in your life will someday be as a mere blink. You have so much to look forward to.

Humble yourself and cease to care what men think. A meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. Rather,... he has stopped being fooled about himself. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring. He has obtained a place of soul rest. The old struggle to defend himself is over.

I have a photo of me standing at the house George Harrison was born in and lived in the first half of his childhood....

I was beside myself....I couldn't believe it. A 59 year old woman absolutely giddy because she was walking on the same streets that George did even longer ago than 40 years ago...*LOL*

[terri910]

We saw the shelter in the middle of the roundabout, and passed the barber's shop (didn't get to see the photographs of every head he's had the pleasure to have known)...and the bank, where the banker was NOT wearing a mack.....in the pouring rain.


Very strange. :mrgreen:

:mrgreen:

[Abe]

did you look at the site? that is basically what they said.

depends on where you're from.Mimi is being nice. The site belongs to a "Messianic Jewish" community. They are Jews by name only and are, in effect, Christians, sort of like Gide'on (he writes it Gidon. I can't bring myself to castrate the Hebrew language like that.).

Anyone calling himself a Jew, and then spouting about "Yeshua" (actually, Yeshu'a), or about "The body of Messiah", is, in actual fact, a Christian in Jew's clothing. While I have nothing against Christians, and consider Gide'on to be a nice guy, neither he nor they are Jews. A Jew does not accept Jesus as Messiah and/or God. I wouldn't trust a Christian site to tell me what is or isn't Kosher for Passover, any more than I'd trust a Jewish site to tell me what is or isn't permitted during Lent.

[Meriweather]

Terri, why shouldn't walking in the footsteps of history make one giddy?

When I was in college, I was researching an old murder--and suddenly realized that name was familiar to me. I racked my brain for nearly a week--and then the following Sunday realized why the familiarity. The name was beneath a stained glass window in church. That was an odd feeling, knowing and remembering all the people, all the joys and sorrows and prayers of their lives once being brought to the same place I was bringing mine.

I think the giddiness might be in almost seeing the same thing--but through another's eyes.

So.... Do you have pictures you can post?

You Bet Your Life I do.

[random983]

I would like someone to pray for me. If anyone hears me - If God exists, please pray for me. I was a lifelong Christian and I don't think I consider myself one anymore. My life is no longer the same since I started to disbelieve God. I always believed in God and looked forward to the end by going to Heaven. I think that God does not exist and death is the end - no afterlife, no nothing since my realitives passing. Please pray that God strikes faith in me to find myself back to him. I am tearing up as I write this, and I am only 21 years old. Perhaps I need to pray ....for myself..

You are probably asking me how am I going to help myself? I will get on my knees tonight and pray hard - I will pray to God to give me something to believe again. If a God exists, I shall wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. If I wake up in the morning and feel the same, then I know the truth.

We are praying, Random. Sometimes what a person needs is to be alone and quiet--to simply listen. I continue to feel that you need to allow yourself time to grieve. If I could give you my own knowledge, I would, but I suspect what you want at this point is something physical and tangible to cling to. I can't offer that. But I do offer my prayers that God's blessings will reach you and be upon you in a way in which you will find meaningful. He is present.

I would advise you that if you are doing this to test the Lord, it will not work. He will not be tested. Perhaps try this. Pray that whether or not God gives you some sign that you may believe tomorrow, you will have faith, and that you will continue to believe. Give God that much faith.

Random, as someone who has dealt with death quite a bit, I can tell you the things you are feeling are natural. It's fine...It's ok to be angry, it's ok to question God...He has a purpose for everything.

Grief isn't something we get over overnight...my dad has been dead for three years, and I still weep from time to time. God understands that we need time to grieve, when you're ready He'll be there.

Who would have thought. My daughter sometimes writes to me in German or Russian. My husband sometimes writes to me in binary.
RayMan and CID were writing in Korean yesterday. I've always been able to find a translator to help me decipher the languages and then translate them back into something like Spanish. Not so for Latin, but I tried, Hadassah.

I would like someone to pray for me. If anyone hears me - If God exists, please pray for me. I was a lifelong Christian and I don't think I consider myself one anymore. My life is no longer the same since I started to disbelieve God. I always believed in God and looked forward to the end by going to Heaven. I think that God does not exist and death is the end - no afterlife, no nothing since my relative's passing. Please pray that God strikes faith in me to find myself back to him. I am tearing up as I write this, and I am only 21 years old. Perhaps I need to pray ....for myself..

You are probably asking me how am I going to help myself? I will get on my knees tonight and pray hard - I will pray to God to give me something to believe again. If a God exists, I shall wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. If I wake up in the morning and feel the same, then I know the truth.

I am sorry for your loss. I know it is a trial of faith. My advice to you is while you continue to pray, live and act in a way consistent with your Christian background. As you put your trust in Him, your faith will be increased. Don't wait for "proof" or an "answer" before you act. As you act, your faith will be increased.

Again, I'm sorry for what you are going through. Everyone has trials, and hopefully you can find in your trial a way to grow spiritually. I wish you all the best in your search.

Terri, why shouldn't walking in the footsteps of history make one giddy?

When I was in college, I was researching an old murder--and suddenly realized that name was familiar to me. I racked my brain for nearly a week--and then the following Sunday realized why the familiarity. The name was beneath a stained glass window in church. That was an odd feeling, knowing and remembering all the people, all the joys and sorrows and prayers of their lives once being brought to the same place I was bringing mine.

I think the giddiness might be in almost seeing the same thing--but through another's eyes.

So.... Do you have pictures you can post?
It does always seem to make me a bit giddy, really....but there is a particular kind of giddiness when it comes to Beatlemania history! :mrgreen:

I love that you can't seem to walk for two blocks in London without coming to a blue plaque on a wall telling you what famous person once lived there. So, it never seemed to matter where I was....I would listen to the echo of my heels on the sidewalk or cobbled lane, and know that other, very famous feet, made a similar echo centuries before.

[meggers49]

Mimi is being nice. The site belongs to a "Messianic Jewish" community. They are Jews by name only and are, in effect, Christians, sort of like Gide'on (he writes it Gidon. I can't bring myself to castrate the Hebrew language like that.).

Anyone calling himself a Jew, and then spouting about "Yeshua" (actually, Yeshu'a), or about "The body of Messiah", is, in actual fact, a Christian in Jew's clothing. While I have nothing against Christians, and consider Gide'on to be a nice guy, neither he nor they are Jews. A Jew does not accept Jesus as Messiah and/or God. I wouldn't trust a Christian site to tell me what is or isn't Kosher for Passover, any more than I'd trust a Jewish site to tell me what is or isn't permitted during Lent.

i understand Abe, and thanks. I guess my question was.......did they explain the term properly. I am not looking at the theology of it, just the definition. I don't consider Messianic Jews to be Jewish either, it's an oxymoron. I wondered, however if they explained the grains properly.

being as the site was questionable, i guess i'll just forget about whether they answered the question properly and look elsewhere. All I was looking for was confirmation or denial of whether they defined the word properly.

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God.

This is now the second time you have come out in this manner and sang the blues about your faith. Many people wrote to you and provided loving counsel and you said, it's over. You are denouncing your Christianity. Now you're back again. What's up? I for one was moved by your testimony and felt your loss. Your question of faith was understandable with respect to the loss of your loved one. Now, I question your intentions.

It isn't up to God...it's up to you to believe and have faith. Seek and you will find. In other words...you first.

Read the Psalms. When I am running on empty, my personal favorite is Psalm 91. The Lord's strength and assurance are in the promises of David's Prayer. I love it so and wish you well.

Absolutely. The Beatles were the foundation of the soundtrack for my teenage years. They were the glue for a number of diverse friendships (including the one between Candi and myself -- thus such a special trip). Best of all for me, they were English! But the music grabbed me....the energy seemed to capture all the exuberance and emotion of being 15...16...17...

I have always been told my heritage is (primarily) English and Irish. My maiden name is Hawkins. My trip to Engand in 1994 I explored the southwest tip of England. Just past Truro, my friend Hazel and I came across a village with a small museum. We stopped and decided to go and see their museum. We were browsing through all the exhibits, which were connected to the town's history in one way or another. At one point, I turned a corner and there before me were two marble columns with a marble header across the top with the words "Hawkins Laboratory" carved into it. Within the section that passageway led to were a number of artifacts all relating to the Hawkins' that had populated that area from it's earliest times. The general impression was that they were mostly scoundrels and rapscallions (although apparently relatively important to the village).

I said, "I'm home!" :mrgreen:

I was 19 when my mother passed away, noelle, and I still feel very close to her.

My aunts (who were her friends) used to tell me that the older I got, the more I reminded them of my mother. Those were the best compliments I've ever received.

that was SOOOOOOO never me.....lol.


actually, i tolerated the Beatles, i thought they were ok, just like i barely tolerated the Stones. esh.

I liked the Beatles, the Rolling Stones--I liked everyone. It just never occurred to me to develop a huge crush on any of them. Possibly that was because the guy I had been such great friends with through childhood (the kind where every adult around would coo and say, "Aren't they cute--puppy love") couldn't keep the friendship intact through adolescence. If the best guy in the entire world could act like that, why bother with any other guy...

So, Meg, who was your favorite musician, or what was your favorite music, when you were a teen.

Boston grew on me because my brother played it all the time.....and Styx....aaaaaaaaaaaalllllllll the time.......

i am more of a big band/standards/musical/opera/with a little top 40 kinda girl....lol

No worries. Fire Watch will see that I have been playing and assume that I am conscientiously following goodlife's general orders to everyone on Hannity to, "Go play." He will therefore be pleased and proud--and quite benevolent. He may even hmm a little. He knows I like to hear him humming. It means he's happy.

[melinda]

"Still He Walked"

He could hear the crowds screaming "crucify" "crucify"...
He could hear the hatred in their voices,
These were his chosen people.
He loved them,
And they were going to crucify him.
He was beaten, bleeding and weakened...
His heart was broken,
But still He walked.

He could see the crowd as he came from the palace.
He knew each of the faces so well.
He had created them.
He knew every smile, every laugh, and every shed tear,
But now they were contorted with rage and anger
His heart broke,
But still He walked.

Was he scared? You and I would have been
So his humanness would have mandated that he was.
He felt alone.
His disciples had left, denied, and even betrayed him.
He searched the crowd for a loving face and he saw very few.
Then he turned his eyes to the only one that mattered
And he knew that he would never be alone.
He looked back at the crowd...
At the people who were spitting at him
Throwing rocks at him and mocking him
And he knew that because of him,
They would never be alone.
So for them, He walked.

The sounds of the hammer striking the spikes echoed through the crowd.
The sounds of his cries echoed even louder,
The cheers of the crowd, as his hands and feet were nailed to the cross,

Intensified with each blow.
Loudest of all was the still small voice
Inside his Heart that whispered "I am with you, my son",
And God's heart broke.
He had let his son walk.

Jesus could have asked God to end his suffering,
But instead he asked God to forgive.
Not to forgive him, but to forgive the ones who were persecuting him.
As he hung on that cross, dying an unimaginable death,
He looked out and saw, not only the faces in the crowd,
But also, the face of every person yet to be,
And his heart filled with love.
As his body was dying, his heart was alive.
Alive with the limitless, unconditional love he feels for each of us.
That is why He walked.

When I forget how much My God loves me,
...I remember his walk.
When I wonder if I can be forgiven,
...I remember his walk.
When I need reminded of how to live like Christ,
...I think of his walk.
And to show him how much I love him,
...I wake up each morning, turn my eyes to him,
......And I walk.

Did you notice Fire Watch's post? He said, "Even when I'm not here...I'm here." That answers your question! Let me explain what he meant by that.

Last night I thought he had abdicated so I overthrew his benevolent dictatorship, which he had established on shaky ground anyway. He assumed dictatorship based on color--he being red and me being not red.

Last night, if he was here, even though he was not here, that means he had not abdicated, but that he was giving tacit approval for me taking over. Fire Watch would never give approval to bad behavior, hence clearly he has confirmed I am both a good girl and dictator over him.

Any further questions your humble dictator may answer today? I am here to serve.

No. It has already been established in this thread that Fire Watch is the Tiger (or Marine) and I am alternately the mouse or the cricket. Since the mouse now has power, suggesting that Fire Watch is the mouse is a grave insult to the both he and I. It is as if you are saying, "Since the Mouse has power, the Mouse must be Fire Watch."

I am certainly not Fire Watch, and he nor will he be best pleased to discover you have mistaken me for him. However, as I am your dictator, you need have no fear. Said mouse shall protect you from said tiger. No thanks needed. You are quite welcome. It all comes with being the dictator.

I thought Melinda posted a wonderful morning devotional today: <Post 14671> (http://forums.hannity.com/showpost.php?p=52399441&postcount=14671) (for those of Christian faith who may not have seen it. Thank you, Melinda.


I also liked this one on unanswered prayers, and have saved it for this afternoon.

You ask but do not receive. (James 4:3)


Unanswered Prayers

Pastor Jerry Sittser writes: "What would happen if all our prayers were answered? I thought about my early years when I was ready to conquer the world, with or without Christ. The group I led grew, I was riding a wave of success, everything I touched turned to gold. Eventually the ministry leveled off and lost momentum. Thank God it did...I'd become insufferably proud, a self-appointed expert. What would've happened if my prayers had been answered, our group had continued to grow and our program had continued to receive recognition?"

James says, "You ask but do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives." There are certain prayers God won't answer for your own good. Sittser continues: "Your cause may be right, but you may still be wrong - manifesting pride, gloating in victory, punishing wrongdoers with excessive severity and excusing sin. The great hazard for people on a crusade is...they become blind to their own faults.

"They fight for civil rights but treat...janitors like second-class citizens. They uphold standards of biblical sexuality, but show little grace towards their spouse. Unanswered prayer is God's gift...it protects us from ourselves. If all our prayers were answered we'd abuse the power...use prayer to change the world to our liking, and it would become hell on earth. Like spoiled children with too many toys and too much money, we'd grab for more. We'd pray for victory at the expense of others...intoxicated by power...we'd hurt people and exalt ourselves. Isaiah said, 'The Lord longs to be gracious to you...therefore He waits' (Isa 30:18).

"Unanswered prayer protects...breaks...deepens...and transforms. Past unanswered prayers which left us hurt and disillusioned, act like a refiner's fire to prepare us for future answers."

I saw a wonderful concert on DVD today. The singer/musician was named Loreena McKennitt and the title of the DVD and the CD that goes with it is "Nights from the Alhambra". The music was enthralling and captivating. It stirred my heart and my spirit.


Alhambra is a fortress/palace complex in Granada, Spain. It is mostly Moorish architecture. Here, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V planned his palace to be built. He commisioned Pedro Machuca, an architect, to design the palace. Work was started in either 1527 or 1528 and was not finished until 1957. Until 1923, the palace didn't even have a roof. At different times in history, the palace was neglected to the point where parts of walls were collapsing. It, and all of Alhambra, narrowly missed being blown up by Napolean's forces.

Children 1 and 3 are going to my father's for the night. Child 2 is going with my MIL shopping and to SIL's, then she's coming back here. Originally, it was just going to be child 3 at my father's in celebration of her birthday. Child 1 was crying, though, and child three said that she was scared by herself. So father invited child 1 along. Child 2 then cried. Child 3 during this time fell off the hammock onto the concrete outside and skinned her knee. So now I have child 1 still crying because he thought he was being left out, child 2 crying because she was being left out, and child three crying because her knee was bleeding.

Oh, and I'm playing single mother even more than usual because hubby is in CA for the week.

It's been a long time since I had three in an uproar at once. What I used to do is come up with something silly to distract them--mainly tossing Cheerios at them, claiming it was confetti and it was now party time. "Whose nose can I hit?" usually got all three laughing. "Who can hit my nose?" got them refocused on something they considered fun.

The wonderful thing about little ones is that their tears never lasted too long--and they love to have a reason to smile and laugh.

LRRH would be GREAT, but the director would need to be willing to cast a tall person in the part for comedy for me to get the part. Everyone I've spoken to has said I'd be a perfect witch.
