You know, I see this war in Israel as a reflection of our spiritual battles with evil. Today, Israel was an inch away from agreeing to a ceasefire with Hamas brokered by France. See News article here. In the end though, the cabinet voted it down and the battle continues!! I was thinking of you when I read this. I was wondering if it was in your Zechus that the battle GOES ON!!

Is déjà vu uniquely French?

A woman on death row has a conversation with the prison guard (not to be confused with our guard):
Guard- what do you want to eat for your last meal?
Woman- idk, what do YOU want?

can gye institute a new rule that if you get a certain amount of karmas you can spend them at the gye library and get ,lets say, 2 free ebooks.

also can gye put in a special thank you box to thank someone for giving them a karma or giving them a thank you?
thank you.

I think all the ebooks are free. But I see that you lost all your hard work in getting all the negative karma! I think anyone who reaches -10 should definitely be rewarded.

I also made sure that 'windows' was always open.

Sometimes you have to see the positive side of life. For instance, when you buy a bag of air and they’re kind enough to put you some chips at the bottom

If It's true that a business's most valuable resource is its employees, why do the employees run free but the toilet paper is locked in a steel box on the wall?
