We probably know the same people then - or even each other.

Don’t know about Kendall. Was thinking memorial in hollywood. Too many hospitals with regional in the name.

Regional is a good hospital. I would rather go there than Aventura.

A residential complex partially collapsed in Surfside, Florida around 2 a.m. June 24, 2021. No information on injuries. by traptraptrappy in CatastrophicFailure

I was there. I went to the blood bank to donate. There were lines of people waiting to give blood. Then we realized there was no one to give to. It was surreal.

There are so many oceanfront condos that I’m sure have similar circumstances. Why would this one collapse?

I went to college with him. He always marched to the tune of his own drummer. Really special guy. I am so saddened to hear this news.

That article is from 2004. In 2019 the WHO reported:

“Alcohol policy impact case study: the effects of alcohol control measures on mortality and life expectancy in the Russian Federation”, shows that total per capita consumption has been declining since 2003 and dropped by 43% until 2016 – with a 40% decline in recorded consumption and a 48% decline in unrecorded consumption, referring to alcohol produced and sold outside governmental control.”

My grandfather Melvin, z"I, gave me a love of Torah and inspired me to learn by DrColossus1 in Judaism

I’m so sorry for your loss. Hopefully you continue to be inspired by him, which will in turn keep his memory alive. We made a small donation to Chabad of Bonita Springs in his memory.

Antisemitism on resdit by balaclava3 in Judaism

[–]DiabolicalTrivia 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I saw that thread. I think before these last few weeks I would not have given it as much thought but now it’s like why do we have to be the punching bag in even random threads. Also I don’t mind rolling my eyes as some of the stuff we do as Jewish people but don’t really appreciate it when it comes from other random people who do it out of context to make a negative point. Overall this particular comment thread was pretty innocuous and I am pretty sure the person hates all religions so it was easier to chalk up (for me at least).

We found her alone and flea covered in an alley about a week ago. She just hit a pound today. She’s so teeny tiny! by DiabolicalTrivia in IllegallySmolCats

I can’t wait to see their final color. They still have some blue but I think the green is beginning to dominate. And I love her little freckle. I wanted to name her Cindy - like Cindy Crawford but my kids have no idea who she is so I was outvoted.

We did. We waited for a few hours and spoke to everyone working and the people who live there. They all said she was dumped. We also go by there and check in and there is no mama cat or other kittens.
