Today, is י"ז מנחם אב, ה'תשע"ג, July 24, 2013. Interesting historical factoid: Today is the ONLY day in all of history that has both the Hebrew date of י"ז מנחם אב, ה'תשע"ג coinciding with the English date of July 24, 2013. Note that including the year (both Hebrew and English) is neccessary for this cheshbon to come out correctly . Therefore, it is of paramount importance that we all remain sober on this very special day. On that note, let me declare that...

Today, I am clean!

Bet you can't guess what tomorrow's interesting historical factoid is.

here's my guess for tomorrows factoid: the Queen of England will take all the chickpeas out of the water she was soaking them in since monday and start cooking them with sugar salt and pepper for the big shalom zachor

how'm i doin'?

Good guess, Zemmy.

I heard she was planning on just throwing it in the blender with some British tea and making chummus for the Shalom Zachar. If she wanted just plain arbes salad she could always just pick some up at the British equivalent of [EDITED whoops wouldn't want to give away the name of the store where I shop!] on her way home on Erev Shabbos.

BTW, anyone know if they will have Woodford at the Royal Shalom Zachar?

A woodfordless Royal shalom zachar is an oxymoron.If you like you can make a shalom zachar without woodford but it won't be royal.

it woodent be propaw!

I think Zemmy ordered a whole bunch in bards shteeble, check it out (but be careful it only has belzer hechsher "לקדש שם שמים, לקדש שם שמים")

btw TTS, I LOVE the avatar!!!!!

Today is י"ח מנחם אב, ה'תשע"ג, July 25, 2013. Today, with thanks to the good graces of the Almighty, I am clean.

And now, in honor of Chai Av, instead of an intesting historical factoid (sorry Zemmy), we are going to have a musical interlude...

It's not shver why מאמן is chaseir. After all, he was מאמן in Hashem. Also, by his kever on Rosh Hashanah, thousands of people when they hear the chazzan say a מברכה, they respond מאמן. (I've never been there, I'm just assuming.)

What's shver is that why is נחמן נחמן a double lashon!?!?!?!? It's a mefureshe yarmulke/shluf koppel/bumper sticker not like like that!!!

באתי לפניך בורא כל העולמות שתעשה לי טובה
ותצמיך לי פאות יפות גאות גולשות
באתי לפניך משאול התחתיות
מה זה בשבילך להצמיח לי פאות יפות גאות גולשות
ואני אשמח שאני יהודי
ואני אשמח שאני דתי
ואני אשמח שאני ברסלב
ואני אשמח שאני נ ..נח.. נחמן . נחמן מאומן

Trying,

I love what you are doing. I think that posting every day will be very beneficial and will have long-lasting positive consequences. I think I might follow your lead....

Keep up the great work!

Ahavas

Thanks.

I think it has been working for me. I hope it works for you too.

Remember, every day is just Day 1, it's the easiest way to get to 90 and beyond.

(Also remember that including narishkeit is your posts is strictly optional although highly recommended!)

Hatzlachah, and see you tomorrow!

Today is י"ט מנחם אב' ה'תשע"ג, July 26, 2013. B"H, today I am clean.

I have some good news and bad news to share with the oilam. The good news is that my boss just called me in and gave me a big, long-term, ongoing project to work on. This will keep me busy with work during my work time.

The bad news is that I probably will not be on the forum all day like I have for the last few weeks.

I will still check in though.

Have a good Shabbos everyone, gotta get back to work.

thanks for the good news. being busy is a good thing
much hatzlocha
good shabbos
