my other set of wheels

in connection with the idea referenced above, there is a story with the Satmar Rebbe Reb Yoel zy'a, whose yartzeit is on Friday.

The Rebbe would not sleep in a bed during the week, only on shabbos. He would doze off at a table when overcome with exhaustion. Someone once made a comment to him about how praiseworthy he is for forgoing the pleasure of sleeping in a bed. With his typical wit and humor he answered "Just the opposite, I enjoy my sleep more than you do. You go to sleep and stay sleeping for the night. You only enjoy it right before you fall asleep, as when you are sleeping you are not conscious. But when i sleep, I keep waking up every so often and I enjoy my sleep each time I am about to drift back off."

(if anyone wants me to include their name on a kvittel to bring to his kever on his yartzeit send me a PM with the details)

right.... i just would(ford) have said it a bit differently- as Jumping up when zemmy throws a possum under yer sleeping mug while your in your monstuh' truck, is good excercise but probably not good for the blood pressure on teh long term. .... IS that whatyou meant to say?

OMG, that's totally what i meant

I guess you've been on GYE for a while.

being on GYE necessitates being multi-lingual
English
Dovish
Bardish
Guardish
Wiferish

smatterings of yiddish, hungarian, russian and urban dialects help

Baruch Hashem, my family and I survived the hurricane, the tropical storm, the hype about the storm, the power outage, the rain, the wind, and the MTA and the FDA shut-down.

for some reason the kite my daughter and i tried to fly after the storm did not rise to the heights we thought it would given the strength of the wind but we will chalk up a FSKOT for that.

You will find truth more quickly through delight than gravity. Let out a little more string on your kite.
Alan Cohen

I let out too much string, it's in the top of a tree now.....

a green tree? oh, never mind....

when we try to fly too high we get tangled
lets keep a low and solid profile

I am not sure y one would try to fly a kite in a hurricane. Isn't that how ben fraklin discovered electricity (and lost his eyebrows? Poor guy)
