TAN #53 World Champion TAN (Page 51)

I'm tres happy for the link.  I will be watching that after my lunch workout!

Tally ho and pip pip!

ETA:  It's always good to leave while on top....

just got back home from doing the Morning Show (link in its own thread).  Making sukkot dinner - got the bread started (whole grain) and am making butternut squash soup and a turkey breast roast (maple glazed)

who wants to come over? we have lots of room in the sukkah

"You see, it'd be this mat...with different conclusions on it...that you could jump to."

Ooohhh - Me - Me - Me -   But I have to grout the tile in the laundry room instead.

hey if you want to regrout my entryway have at it!!!

Cool!  We aren't Jewish, but we invited a couple and their kids to use our back deck, with a pergola on it.  They chose to build their own anyway.  Supposedly it is qualifies since you can see the stars?

Either way, the food sounds good. 

Well...I suck at my job, I can't do the major stuff that they need done because I'm not a lawyer and I have no experience. It's a horrible market, so they need someone who can do it all without any help. I saw this woman in here the other day interviewing with the Treasurer et al, and I heard them say after she left "Make sure she interviews with ___ (the CFO)". She definitely does NOT look like an architect. We don't have many other departments and the departments we do have are kinda small - HR is only 2 people, marketing is only 2 people and they recently fired and replaced one of our marketing folks. They aren't looking to hire any excess staff because the market blows and they're trying to cut corners. They've already cut the accounting department down. So the only possibilities are that they are firing and replacing either myself, the other marketing chick or the HR lady (the other HR lady is the pres's sister, so she's not going anywhere any time soon). They like the marketing chick and as far as I know, HR lady hasn't done anything to screw up. So that leaves few options.

a kosher sukkah has to have 3 and one third sides (at least) and the roof cannot be solid, but needs to offer protection.  

You cannot build it under trees....

I have a prefab - I can now build it in about 10 minutes. and then I got corn stalks for the roof and put the bamboo mat on top of that to make it kosher.

I invite non jews too

You see - the "have to" portion would indicate that I am being forced to do it instead of wishing to do it. 

Sweet.  Thanks for the further info. I'll have to pass that on to the missus.  She was a Religion major (And history major AND education major).  You would think she would have remembered that.  j/k!

Actually, my mother converted about 6 years ago.  From Catholic.  Long story.

Anyway, thanks again doc.  I love your updates on the Jewish holiday's.  Makes me a bit more learned. 

A hammer to the head would make you more learned.  You went to Coe

Where are the cowboys fans?

PACMAN JONES SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones has been suspended indefinitely for his latest violation of the NFL’s personal-conduct policy.

Jones will be suspended without pay and will miss at least four games. After that, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will make a determination as to whether Jones deserves reinstatement.

The NFL found that Jones was involved in an alcohol-related physical altercation and had therefore violated the terms of his reinstatement, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported.

The suspension is the latest piece of bad news in a terrible week for the Cowboys.

One piece of good news: Ed Werder of ESPN reports that as a result of the suspension, the Titans will not have to send a sixth-round draft pick to the Tennessee Titans, and the Titans will have to send the Cowboys a fifth-round pick.

No - they got rid of lawyer because he was expensive - they wouldn't be replacing him. And my dept. has 2 - myself and my admin. My admin is not going anywhere, and he's doing just fine - and he's been here for a long time.

 I lost count after he paralyzed the bouncer in Vegas and then tried to have someone killed.

Given that when Paul created Christianity you had to be Jewish to convert it is kind of full circle

Some of the more religious/observant jews I know where Christians (and often catholic) who became more fundamentalist and went to judaism.

I like that Judaism does not insist that it is the only way - works for me.  And as to whether Jesus was the messiah, I figure when the messiah comes we can ask if s/he was here before....

We're way past that one. We've already covered candy corn, SprintDA and my conflicting beliefs on choosing a mate based on religious conviction, Yanti's boobs, what marathon JChristoff should run, if I am going to get fired or not, Jewish food, and now I believe we are on football.

I'm definitely not a fan of lumps of skin and fat stretched over fluid filled bags. But I do like bewbies.

finish it up then hop on a flight, you and the missus can have the guest room

I think we've restarted the cycle.  back to bewbies.
