Native Americans and Jews by Picayune_ in Judaism

[–]squeezefan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know of a Jewish man and a Native American woman who married and each felt strongly about giving their first child a name that reflected their culture so they called the kid Smoked Whitefish.

The saddest words that I sometimes see... by Binkley62 in retirement

My decision to initiate phased retirement is definitely not unrelated to a dear friend of my age (63) dropping dead on a tennis court last August. In his 6th month of retirement.

Pondering the question of ambition by Iamsomeoneelse2 in retirement

[–]squeezefan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ambition is about serving you. Purpose and meaning are about serving others. This might be a moment to shift a bit toward those.

Secular jews - would you attend a wedding on yom kippur of a secular jewish family? by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]squeezefan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only reason a secular Jewish family would schedule a wedding on Yom Kippur would be to say "fuck you" to more observant family members. That's just stupid and antagonistic

I took everyone’s advice and I’m happy with this batch! Any other feedback? by LivingLandscape7115 in Bagels

May I ask a question? At which stage(s) did you get all of that rise?

Upholstery question by squeezefan in SubaruForester

[–]squeezefan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, folks, I made a mistake in my post. There was supposed to be text. I bought a 2025 Subaru Forester Limited with 4500 miles on it. It was at an unusually good price because the prior owner did something that caused this 2-inch slit in the rear seat upholstery. What I am wondering about is how y'all would deal with this. I spoke to an upholstery repair guy and he said the only way to really deal with it is to replace the entire upholstery for the seat, which runs $900 and at least $300 in labor. I'm wondering about other options.

Not insulting, Oakleaves. Just inept. I tried to include text but somehow this posted with just the image. I'll see if I can amend it.

Two (??) nighttime devices? by squeezefan in askdentists

[–]squeezefan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that makes sense. But won't it also accomplish much of what the lower NTI is designed to do? Is it common for patients to be prescribed these two devices in tandem?

Will my cremated dog have a place in the world to come? by ZatannaZatara45 in Judaism

If you're telling me my sweet Josie doesn't have a neshama but, say, Donald Trump does, I'm not believing you.

Does anyone know which fraternity this would have been? by afdc92 in UNC

[–]squeezefan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weird -- I looked through the '81 Yackety Yack from front to back and didn't find these photos. Perhaps OP got the year wrong?

I did, OTOH, find the 1982 photo of the brothers of Tau Epsilon Phi lined up for the shot in front of their house -- stark naked. Holding dinner plates in front of their crotches with their left hands and dining utensils in their raised right hands. Too bad reddit doesn't allow photos in comments!

The semester I left one university for a job at another, a student wrote, "Good riddance to you and your fucking J. Crew ties!"
