We can’t even get nachas form someone with out adding guilt or kvetching about it. Damn.
Down to the 9.7 million dollars King Kong made yesterday. (By the way that’s not considered a whole lot. apparently) I don’t think there’s anything left online for me.

In life, we almost never wait for 100% guarantees. We trust that the dentist is a dentist, the taxi driver is a taxi driver, and so on --and put our lives in their hands --on flimsy tacit evidence. Yet, when it comes to a simple good deed, people demand 100% proof that this is really what G-d wants them to do!

(From a letter by the Rebbe:)
You write that you have taken a few years off from teaching to come to an understanding of "what it is all about."
Tell me, once you have determined an answer to your question, what will you do then? And in the meantime, just who and how many have benefited from all your searching?
Go back to teaching and change a few students' lives.

Answer here.
Just us
By Michelle Nevada
I just made a phone call to Israel. I think it cost me about 15 cents, with my phone card. What I got for that 15 cents, however, was worth much more than I can say.
I don’t know who picked up the phone, but when he said, “Daniel Pinner’s residence.” I began.
“I am calling from the United States,” I said. “I just wanted you to let Daniel know that we are all reading about Daniel, writing about Daniel, sending e-mails about Daniel, and that Daniel shouldn’t lose hope.”
There was a short silence, then the man said, “Do you mind, very much, calling back so that I can let the voice mail answer, and Daniel can get your message directly? He would love to hear your voice.”
I agreed, so I spent another 15 cents. This time, waiting though a message in Hebrew, then a message in English, then a beep. I’m not sure exactly what I said the second time, but I wanted to let this man know we haven’t forgotten about him, about what he did, and about how the justice system has treated him.
I do remember that I said, “Someday, G-d willing, we will have perfect Justice in Israel instead of the corrupt system we have now.”
Daniel Pinner is an electrician who volunteered his time to help the people of Gaza by connecting electrical services to the abandoned Palm Beach Hotel. This hotel served as temporary housing for those who were intent upon protesting the destruction of Gaza communities by the Sharon government. Daniel Pinner made the mistake of taking a walk down the beach, where he was attacked by a mob of 50 stone-throwing Arabs.
Intent upon protecting himself and his companions, Daniel fired his Uzi into the air. The crowd dispersed, then reformed and began again throwing rocks. Daniel fired again into the air.
Four days later, after he returned home, he was arrested and charged with wounding an Arab. There is no connection between his gun and the wounded Arab, but he has sat in jail for over five months waiting for trial. The Israeli government says Daniel, a man with no criminal record, is too “dangerous” to let out.
I can’t help but think that Daniel’s main reason for sitting in jail is not that he was falsely accused of shooting an Arab in the leg, but that he is a member of the community of Kfar Tapuach. Kfar Tapuach, is one of the most diverse towns in Judea and Samaria. Yemenites founded the town nearly 30 years ago, and it now has a mix of Russians, Americans and others ethnic groups, along with various political and social opinions. But the town is marked. If you ever read a newspaper article about Kfar Tapuach, you will hear of it referred to as a “Far Right-Wing” settlement, or a place where “Radical Jews” live.
It was the synagogue in Kfar Tapuach that dedicated a Torah with much pomp and celebration, only to hear the next day that the Israeli government was calling into question the “right” of the community to have built a synagogue in the first place. Then the government demanded to know how the road had been built, and, finally, they ordered the destruction of the synagogue.
Kfar Tapuach is also where David Haivri lives, the man who was accused in the infamous T-Shirt trial. David also sat in jail for months for no reason before being acquitted of the heinous and dangerous activity of selling T-Shirts.
If someone dares to live in Kfar Tapuach, or any of the other “settlements” that the Sharon government deems troublesome, the inhabitants, no matter what age, are marked by the justice system for harsh punishment—regardless of their guilt or innocence.
It was from Judea and Samaria that girls as young as 12 were arrested and held for months to await trail for such dangerous activities as protesting the destruction of Gaza, and yelling at Arab olive harvesters. These children are not dangerous criminals that need to be remanded until trial. They are kids from good families who wanted to take their opportunity to share in the history of the Jewish state and express the values that have been handed down to them through Torah—love of the land of Israel.
But this is the way the “Justice” system works in Israel today. Justice, for those who live in Samaria, Judea, and the former Gaza communities has become “Just us.” If you are a member of the communities that Sharon has slated for destruction, you are a criminal. It doesn’t matter what you have done or not done because they will find a way to make the arrest legitimate somehow. In the outside chance that they can’t find a reason to hold you after the trial is over, they will have, at least, disrupted your education, your income, or your personal life to such an extent that you will be permanently damaged in some way.
It is in this political climate that State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss will soon release her report on the Gaza withdrawal plan, focusing upon the civil rights abuses by the government in the apprehension, arrest, and detaining of many of the protestors for no other reason than their disapproval of the Sharon government. It is a report that is desperately needed, but will, I am sure, be quickly hidden and muffled in all but the alternative presses in Israel—especially during an election season.
But, report or not, the lack of justice in the Israeli “Justice” system is more than inconvenient—it is dangerous. Today it may be the “settlers” that Sharon’s government wants to silence. But who will it be tomorrow? When one man is in jail for an extended period of time without rights, it should give every citizen, visitor, and official of Israel pause. Imperfect justice is expected, but corrupt justice threatens every person in the land of Israel. Daniel Pinner is just one man, but he could be you, or me, or your best friend, or a member of your family. We cannot stand by and watch these injustices without action. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "We must indeed all hang together, or most assuredly we will all hang separately."

Why is Gwen Ghetto?
I had a revelation today about Gwen Stefani,
Her music has become, lets say.. not exactly what it was. Ehem.. chough: sh*t) ehem.. Sorry clearing my throat, whew, she becoming more irritating by the day. I seem to think someone slapped the talent right out of her punk ass and turned it in to ghetto booty.
Oy. Where do all the wild ones go?
The only reason she still has my attention. Is cause shes married to Gavin Rosdale.

American Money B"H
A Daily Dose from my email.
American Money
Do you know why American money is so successful? Because it has written on it, "In G-d We Trust."
Not just "Believe." "Trust."
Furthermore, the money even tells you its purpose: Upon it is written, "E Pluribus Unum." The purpose of all your dealings with money is to make from many a Oneness. And if that is truly your purpose, then you will rely on the One Creator to provide your needs.

monday.. eh.
Quick thoughts. I’ll get into it more at another time:
A. When someone repeatedly tries to help you out. But absolutely never comes thru for you. AHHH!!!!!! Running around screaming and pulling my hair out!
You can’t get upset with them because they went out of there way at tried.
And they have their own drama. I mean is it their fault they seem to attract that much drama??? OY, how do you say thank you to someone who didn’t get the job done?
B. I heard a great quote in a promo for a new ABC show called “Emily’s reasons why not “Instead of looking for a man to make me feel complete I should consider looking at myself as already whole.” I think. That line touched me.
C. what do you do with an abundance of secrets??
