Or five, or six ... hard to stop 😉

Real latkes...

That's our celebration -- DH's "pancake potatoes" (aka latkes) this evening. @Tree_skier Dave, it's all in the "batter" 😉

Just finished a stay in the shelter. Sadly, no end in sight 😢 Thank you to all those who wished "Happy Hanukah" -- @grapau27, @sgmn, @akcruz, @Sunshine3601, @lenquixote66, @jagsfan, @MJSailors, @jmh2006, @NHProud, @DaniDanielle, @BonTexasNY, @A&L_Ont, @h20skibum, @Momof3gurlz, @Keksie, @Tree_skier (Dave, enjoy the chants and the lights, and, of course, the traditional "donats") and last, but not least Greg @Sea Dog -- so sorry you had to cancel the Beyond cruise, but, sometimes, maybe there is something else better that you might get late in the future 😘

@George C + 1 to Shelagh

I've already bought the first two in VF's series, to get the "feeling" after I'll finish the Prey. Also bought the 2 Letty books.

I've started reading the "Prey" series after @bobmacliberty recommended it. I'm now on #30, and "Judgment" is #33. Dreading the day I'll finish the series, all his books are awesome. And, of course, bought the Connelly one too. Thanks for the reminder. Read all his books.

Excellent news that she was accepted into the trial and will be under constant (and free) follow up. Any chance she can dispute with her insurance the non-covered Cleveland Clinic tests?

Mark, you brightened my day 🙏 Your daughter and John ( @Ozark_Kid) are always in my thoughts. As a big bonus, glad ALL your approaching holidays plans are going ahead 😘

Thank you, Mark. It is amazing how quickly you revert to "normal" and how hard is to "restart".... At least, DH keeps delivering for our eldest son and me excellent and varied comfort food.... This Friday he tried for the first time stuffed peppers 😉 My "contribution was" mashed potatoes. He managed to squeeze another small yellow pepper in the middle....

Do free cruises count towards Pinnacle?

Thank you, Bonnie. It is really hard to get back into the mood of air raids... We had 8 days of respite, and a modicum of happiness with some of the hostages coming home. Still waiting for the youngest, 9 months old "human shield" and his older brother, 4 years old. We managed to replenish some of the "required" energy to keep going, even met a week ago dear HS friends, who came from another city, to eat with us our favorite ice cream 😉

So sorry, Graham, that you have such a bad day.

Some good and some bad news... I had a strong pain in the groin, bending me in two, drs thought it came from the back, turns out it was the above upper thigh, refused to go away until I was prescribed Lyrica, and then also it took time.... Hoping for you it will go away 🤞

Greg, how do you feel?

It took me a few seconds too to figure out "Jade" 😉

@Ozark_Kid John + 1 .... go barefoot in the sand as long as you can.

@Norwaylady A., Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to post your riveting report and amazing pictures 👍

Kudos to @Ourusualbeach for choosing a Saturday departure 😎

So sorry, Greg. Hopefully, all will be resolved in time for your Beyond cruise. Amazing ship. Fingers crossed from here 🤞

@Luckynana Maryann + 1 😘

@Sunshine3601 Debbie, I took care of Arzeena 😉

Joy, hope you'll feel better ASAP. As a former "crochetter? /knitter?", I'm thoroughly impressed 👍

Thanks, Debbie, really appreciate your thoughts and prayers. We had so much hope yesterday, to the point of telling DH that may be we can ask some friends over during the WE, only to be disappointed in the middle of the night. Now we keep our expectations low... but still very much hoping 🙏

+ 1 🙏 Same here... 12 years old. My mom woke me up with the news. We then followed everything, and were mostly impressed with Mrs. Kennedy's dignity through the funeral.
