In this area of the world, the fish at McDonalds used to be a lot better then it is now. In fact, I knew who supplied it and where it most;y came from. But now it's a different company and not as good.

I don't actually do lent. I'm Jewish. We don't have to suffer like that. God loves us. He chose us. He did not choose the rest of the religions. He just tolerates their erroneous believes.

Paperbacks and hardbacks can be lent but ebooks can't because of DRM

Haven't you ever felt that you would rather He choose some other group for

awhile? I know I have.

I have never felt deprived by not eating pork. Strange!

But then again, rabbi's are allowed (nay, encouraged) to marriage.

'Tis a puzzlement.

Cheers

Yes he will. Kosher was devised by human beings to deal with health issues of the day. Now that we don't have those health issues, Kosher isn't an issue.

When we first came to Australia, I did a lot of work to learn the language... After a while we wanted to buy a house, and I called the bank, and said I wanted to lend some money!

I had looked it up in the Danish/English dictionary, and was quite confident...

The person on the other end sounded like she'd had 3 lemons for lunch...

..........and then to make things even more difficult, we have spelling like:

pour, pore, light, might and a host of other hurdles. I am sure they can be

added to. Then we have accents.....some of which even I cannot understand.

My pet hate; people who speak with a plum in their mouth, or converversely,

those who refuse to properly open their mouths when they speak.

Ain't humans grand?
