Btw, hot dogs in the chulent are really yummy!
The best cholent I ever had was at the home of the then head of english speak n'shei chabad of Jerusalem. She threw every last bit of leftover meat from the week into her cholent - hot dogs, chicken, meatballs, cold cuts, etc. It all went in and it was always delicious.

Ok, until this post I was thinking cute.... Now, I have to admit. I love you!
I'll take that compliment and raise you the following lyrics from the same song...

And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-ten
colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on
the back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, I want
you to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... NOW kid!!"
And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's
where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after
committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly
looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father
rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And
they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the
bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest
father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly
'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me
and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay
$50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench
there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I
said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,
and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,
father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the
bench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of
things, until the Sargeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held it
up and said.
And I will treat those of you who would like to hear *the whole darn thing* right here:
A thanksgiving tradition if you will... Oh, did I mention that we "observe" thanksgiving every year with turkey, cranberry sauce, football, and Alice's restaurant? Definitely we're not getting a shidduch.
And for those of you who are still interested in my kids, please join me in the chorus:

No Yichus except the girls' paternal grandparents are Avraham Avinu and Sara Imenu - does that count? Otherwise their biological breakdown is:
25% Yekke
12.5% Polish
12.5% Latvian/Russian
25% Anglo-Saxan
25% Italian
So that should make them ontime clumsy short no-neck pale Jewish ladies with a taste for tea and really good italian food?

Aidelmaidel, I'll be more than happy to set up shidduchim for your children just as soon as you post the following:
1. Copies of all income-tax returns for the last ten years and
2. Copies of all bank statements for the last three years and
3. Copies of all credit card statements for the last five years
I want to see exactly how you spend your money so we can determine if your kids are high maintenance or not.
Right now, low-maintenance people are in greater demand. _________________ Talk to Hashem and not to the dead,

Dude, you are too high maintenance. Maybe if I start saving it now, I'll have it ready for you by the time my 8 year old is ready to date.
And my girls are really low maintenance because we are POOR. What was it Eddie Murphy used to say? "We were so poor we ate mayonnaise sandwiches with out the bread."
The only thing you have to worry about it the shoe budget for the youngest. She's got a thing for shoes. Definitely doesn't come from my side of the family though.

Who cares about all that? The main thing is, what color tablecloth do you put on your shabbos table (kitchen or elsewhere)?
Depends on how many leaves we put in but I have dark green, light green, blue, gold, and several very stained white ones (which I'm embarrassed to use).
So then probably that knocks out what, like 75, 85 percent of the frum population from our dating pool right?
Whew, it's getting easier and easier with this whole shidduchim process. By the time my kids are of marriageable age there should be less than five eligible prospective matches for them.
Maybe I should spill ALL my faults...
I have a shaila
Which tablecloth is better/worse for shabbes, black or white stained?

I would like to add that I now have an "expensive" sheitel because it's the only thing that fit my head. And I'll be paying it off for the next year... _________________ I'm a post-modern liberal yekke quasi-Chardal Lubavitch baal teshuva trapped inside the body of pale fat Jewish lady with no neck.
