    It's a toss-up: going blind or getting Alzheimer's.

    Television Series.

    I got into watching news & political commentary programs from 4 to 10 p.m. during the '08 election, & I still watch news most of the time. I watch even more of it now that I'm retired. However, I like NCIS, Dr. Who, & Deadliest Catch. I visited my brother in the U.K. in Feb. & got interested...

    What Are You Watching on Youtube?

    Thanks for the offer of scotch (yum!), but I'm tempted to stay warm & cozy under the furred purrsons until spring.

    Hasidic star Matisyahu mixes it up on new album

    Point taken, but his Hassidism is seen as "Shtick" by some/many. IMO, his talent has propelled him beyond being "the Hassidic reggae singer", just as John Mellencamp's talent moved him past being "Johnny Cougar".

    What Book Have You Read Recently?

    I'm a Jane Austen fan, & there are piles of sequals, prequels, & side stories to her work. Some are great, some are okay, & some are drek. So it was with apprehension that I bought "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" by Jane Austen & Seth Grahame-Smith. Grahame-Smith took Austen's most-loved book &...

    What Are You Watching on Youtube?

    I LOVE YouTube, it's like a scavenger hunt. I was looking at travel videos, which led me to Polish-language lessons (I'm trying to re-learn Polish), which led me to Polish musicians like Feel: YouTube - Feel - No poka? na co Ci? sta?

    Hasidic star Matisyahu mixes it up on new album

    I've seen Matisyahu several times when he's appeared in my area. I don't consider his Hassidism a shtick, since he doesn't wear the "Flat brimmed black hat" & other somber clothing associated with Hassids in stage shows. On his last appearance here he wore jeans & a hoodie (& yes, a yarmulkah)...

    Good-Bye, Book Shop

    Today, it was announced that a local independent bookseller has decided to close the chain. There was, briefly, a branch in my neighborhood. When my teen-aged nephew came to mow my lawn, help me around the house, or just to get away from his parents, our favorite way to have lunch was to go to...

    Yoga ?

    I have no real comment on yoga. I attempt it from time to time, although I like watching it on TV (while eating cookies...lol). I found this in the current JewishSource catalog: TORAH YOGA PB BLOOMFIELD - Jewish Source - The Source for Everything Jewish=

    Ads removed

    I sort of miss the ads. I would guess which ad would be up as I signed in. I pretended I was developing psychic powers that way.

    How do you pray?

    I'm a "pray whenever & where-ever" person. I'll send up a quick "Thank you for keeping me from slapping that @#%$&!!!! supervisor (& letting me keep my job)" when I'm wandering between the settling basins at work, or "Thanks for letting us have Dad around" when I'm out somewhere with my dad...

    Why do you believe in YOUR religion

    I am a "Jew by choice". I grew up something else, & left that religion for too many reasons to list here. I spent years looking for a different faith. The first time I went to services at a synagogue I felt as if I had gone home. I believe I didn't actually choose Judaism; rather that it...

    What Movies Have You Seen Recently?

    27 Dresses, Bucket List, Definitely Maybe, Baby Mama Though none of them was bad, the only one I'd want to see again would be "Bucket List".

    Grow your own!

    I have a tiny patch of dirt (about half of a square meter) next to the front porch where I grow "shade" plants (it gets little direct sun), but have had some success with lettuce & kohlrabi. My back yard is paved, so I grow herbs, tomatoes, & peppers in pots. Last year my pepper plants were...

    Crap!! George Carlin is Dead.

    My claim to fame is that I was at the concert Carlin was arrested at. The world will be less huomorous without him.

    Lost the Lounge!

    Also, I can't edit my post or post more than once because if I try, I get a message scolding me because i haven't logged in, although the thingy at the top of the page that says "Welcome Garnet" says I have. *beats head on keyboard in frustration* My computer is ancient; I suspect that...

    Lost the Lounge!

    Thanks, seattlegal. Actually, I lost the entire "General" section when I updated Apple Quicktime, although I have no idea if there's any actual connection. I deleted the update from my system but didn't get "General" back, there's a blank area under that title. I can find individual forums...
