What about on your calendar making a mark to remind you that it's time to appreciate in some special way--a note on the pillow, a single dandelion picked from the corner empty lot (works fine), telling her a good joke.  You know the ropes.  Much love

its not the value of a gift that creates appreciation, its the heart whithin it that does it, if you give a plain bar of choc the one she likes, and you add a little note "honey i realy love you" that does the trick

1daat & shmeichel, you both are right on the money, thank you very much.
i am gonna make a reminder on my phone to do something (at least) once a week. credit goes to you guys.

p.s. if you notice the dandelions disappearing from your neighborhood it means people are reading this, or that a giraffe has moved in

Maybe as a public service, you could remind the rest of us as well.

zemmy did the giraaff really stick fis head out of the ark like it is in the coloring books?

also was noach really bald/

and did he have a shepherds staff?

rebbe b,
you stumped me with those

here's another question.
why did they keep the garbage in the teiva?
why not chuck it out the window (when the giraffe is not busy looking out of it)?
was Og enforcing the 'no litter' policy?
were they environmentalists?
hmmmmm

Vayisgor Hashem baado

The teiva was hermetically sealed.

Noach first opened the window after many many long months!

(Lulai the Midrash about Og & the Re'eim.)



V'od yesh lomar;

After the 3 tefachim of topsoil were washed away by the mobul, there was great need for an abundance of quality fertilizer....

What did Og and the Re'eim eat all year if Noach couln't feed them?

Maybe they just caught fish, after all they were all swimming around the Teiva tickling their legs.

I like this pshat!  ;D ;D ;D

great ideas Yosef,

what about tzohar taaseh lateiva, according to those that say it was a window for lighting purposes?

and if all the living creatures died wouldn't their decomposing bodies serve as fertilizer? was it because they all ended up in Bavel and they needed to fertilize the rest of the world?
