My children are simultaneously ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) AND DAR AND Jewish. That's America!

I am the descendant of enslaved people. My great grandmother's grandmother was a slave. I remember so distinctly the awe I had from being around her and knowing I was talking to and touching a woman who also talked to and touched an enslaved woman. I'm also Jewish (converted) so we talk about how we (Jews) were once slaves. I feel that most Jews don't really know what it means. I don't know that I know better, but I know I'm intimately connected to slavery in a way most Jewish people are not.

Moved up to 25lb kettlebell today. Ouch.

I'm short of being a 3 because I am an aggressive-ish driver, drive on the interstate usually between 70-80mph. BUT I am pretty obsessive about keeping a good amount of distance between me and the next driver. In fact more aggressive drivers take advantage of that trait and get in the hole. I do live in Boston, where aggressive driving is the norm. I can revert (more or less) to my Southern driving roots. I've never had an accident that I have caused. I don't like cruise control much. I prefer to control and drive according to the traffic. I took a defensive driving course with my daughter and the instructors asked me if I wanted to take a job with them! So aggressive yet safe. Lol

Google "kosher phones" or "kosherphone" or cell phone for Orthodox Jews. You might find what you are looking for that way.

I'm sorry. That's a lot to deal with, especially with physical pain involved. I hope things get better soon.

Massage: to me it's not really an indulgence because without a massage every couple of weeks I get terrible headaches. I like to get one every week. That's indulgent.

Still doing different Caroline Girvan kettlebell workouts along with 15-20 minute cardio S-F. When I work out with my husband (M, W) he picks these videos where the trainer talks and talks and talks. I can't stand all the chit chat! Caroline just plays the music and clearly shows the next exercise.

Adding my prayers

Olive dip: drain green olives with pimento (the cheap kind!). Blitz in food processor with a dollop or two (or three) of mayo until processed and smoothish. Techina/tahini: take the tahini and add lemon juice, pureed garlic (or garlic powder), salt. It will thicken up and get lumpy. Add water and zhuzh/blend/process/blend/shake in a covered jar until your desired thickness Matbucha: too complicated to give quick instructions. Google Tori Avery matbucha. Happy Easter!

North Carolina once a month Israel (January, March, May, October) Japan (July) Australia (May or June) Probably Mexico, Panama, or Bermuda and separately maybe Nevada or Texas And anywhere fun my DH gets to travel to for work.

Maybe I'm slow but what does the timing have to do with the headaches you are having cashing them out?

Agreeing with everyone else.

Ain't that the truth!
