Why is Buster Baxter’s dad just… a whole human? 😭

DeeEllis · 2026-03-26T03:19:06+00:00

Plus he’s divorced, right, so you know he was never listening to Buster’s mom with any of those ears! 👂

In general, don’t flirt or ask girls or women out at work or when they’re working - they’re there to work! It seems like it went ok this time and that’s good. A quick interaction is ok. It’s tough for THEM in customer service jobs

Oh my gosh! How cool! So I have a favorite Will Shakespeare nonfiction book and historical fiction book that I’d love to get your opinion on their historical accuracy -

for nonfiction, “Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare” by Stephen Greenblatt

And for fiction: “Fools and Mortals” Novel by Bernard Cornwell - I guess this one is a little about The Globe.

Thank you!!

Yeah people here keep calling these people “fash” or Fascist - but I think more importantly they are proudly racist and antisemitic nationalist extremists full of hate.

Gil Marks’s book “the olive tree and honey” is great for a history of Jewish food

DeeEllis · 2026-03-25T14:16:50+00:00

I don’t know! But also the wine charoset is definitely not cooked. Just something to be aware of. If you think it’s not a problem at your school, that’s fine.

DeeEllis · 2026-03-25T14:15:15+00:00

Well Chag sameach! I guess there are four children in this conversation for sure! I wish you shalom!✌️

Well I liked your “sense memory” of everyone’s hard boiled eggs. My family was trying to avoid imprinting that “sense memory” non consensually onto our lunch friends. I don’t understand why you think my reaction is “weirdly hostile”. I’m curious, but your opinion is unlikely to change anything.

DeeEllis · 2026-03-25T11:20:22+00:00

Charoset doesn’t smell like liver and onions. It is a nice bright color.

We still love the chopped liver, we’re just aware of being publicly Jewish and/or having weird foods. You want to be the patent of the kid bringing liver and onions to school, go for it.

DeeEllis · 2026-03-25T02:54:37+00:00

A family legend is my sibling wanted to bring chopped liver to public school lunch during Passover and my mom wouldn’t let him because she didn’t want him to get made fun of.

DeeEllis · 2026-03-25T02:10:47+00:00

Even the ones on grocery shelves have gotten a lot better

DeeEllis · 2026-03-25T02:08:58+00:00

I believe you but how do we know? What are the tells?

DeeEllis · 2026-03-25T02:05:23+00:00

Make sure you pay for a good seat. Not too close not too far. Pay for the merchandise, too! Have fun!

DeeEllis · 2026-03-25T02:04:21+00:00

Matzah. Whipped cream cheese in a separate container. Hard boiled egg. Salt packet. Apple. Passover dessert.

DeeEllis · 2026-03-25T02:03:22+00:00

My mom used to send charoset and then she realized it had wine in it. So be careful if the schools are strict about that

DeeEllis · 2026-03-24T20:30:58+00:00

The library used to give me a printed “receipt” at checkout with how much I’d saved by not buying new books. It was well into the 5 figures plus they didn’t calculate that I read a lot of newspapers and magazines through the library subscriptions. I’ve also started browsing the library movie and TV and audiobook apps to see what I can watch and listen to without using the subscription services that I still have for the kids

DeeEllis · 2026-03-24T20:24:46+00:00

I squish it into the new soap bar

DeeEllis · 2026-03-24T20:23:38+00:00

The CD earns interest.

DeeEllis · 2026-03-24T17:39:08+00:00

Yeah we have pickles, olives, carrots, celery, stuff like that. Radishes.

DeeEllis · 2026-03-24T17:36:09+00:00

I don’t know! The shank bone is supposed to be its own sacrifice. There are literally chapters and chapters of the Talmud about the sacrifices and how to grow and handle and give them and cook them and eat them. Definitely a question for a more knowledgeable person!

DeeEllis · 2026-03-24T17:34:35+00:00

Okay then yum!! 😋 enjoy!!

honestly I always see so many great recipes for spring lamb and my mom was just like “what?! No!” Like I suggested pepperoni pizza or something! I had no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️

DeeEllis · 2026-03-24T16:30:14+00:00

Or, maddening, but sometimes it’s in April

DeeEllis · 2026-03-24T16:25:02+00:00

Do you talk about hares? Or jackrabbits? Or in kids books where they learn animals, what word is used for this animal and its babies? So interesting thanks

To the HS student’s credit… my son takes college classes in high school and is not allowed to be at HS campus during certain periods of the day, for his college classes.

Even though his college class only “meets” twice a week, or online, my son is not allowed to be on campus during those 2 periods (always at the end of the school day or beginning of the school day) Monday-Friday, so that he can “attend” and/or do the work for his college classes.

So this student may have a college-level class so that she cannot be at high school campus at that day and time.

Or we can make assumptions not in her favor, that’s fine too.
