L’Shanah Tovah!

Well boys and girls, I’m back from the dead. Many thanks for the cards, messages, flowers, and even singing telegrams – they were all highly appreciated. 

Though I’m not 100%, I’m pretty functional and things should be getting back to normal around here starting, oh, sometime tomorrow. But until then, here’s a little useless information about my Saturday and a great video…

Since I’m actually a good Jew and manage to attend temple on Saturdays (most in the fall excluded, of course) that don’t fall within the High Holidays, I was hoping the Almighty wouldn’t mind if I rode out the New Year in bed. It’s not like I didn’t have a good excuse.

But I quickly realized that though I may have been able to escape judgement from our Creator, I could never escape the wrath of my mother, who advised that my soul would not only rot but it would also not be recorded in the Book of Life if I dared not examine my past wrongful deeds and ask for forgiveness for my sins. It sounds silly but she managed to scare me enough that I dragged myself to the synagogue even though I was loaded up on Percocet. I love this religion.

 In honor of me being the coolest Jewess that you know (and also because I need to take a nap), have a video and please, don’t feel bad about laughing… it won’t make you an anti-Semite.

  • That video never gets old :) My sister went to Israel last year with a couple people from that comedy group. Apparently they’re doing videos like this all the time.

  • Great to have you back Flashers. That was scary!

  • Great to see you up and around today! Welcome back to the world :)

  • I heard the brutal details. Thank God you’re okay.

  • You’re a rock baby girl. Stay in bed this week and don’t go to work! It’s a dangerous place for you!

  • You had me worried girlie! I’m with Shawne. Stay in bed and tell Coach to screw off for a couple weeks. You need the rest.

  • HUZZAH! You are back! Glad you are okay

  • good to have you back in the land of the conscious, Warner. missed you tons!

  • haha Great video. I think you might need to be Jewish though to get the biggest laugh. I was rolling and the people I work with only laughed a little and sat around looking confused.. “camp? what’s that mean?”

  • Good to hear all is well! Even though I don’t come by much any more (as I posted in another thread, my employer blocked this site — probably because they hate the fact that I visit sites that don’t have a “Donate to the GOP” button on it), I still lurk whenever I can.
    And I was going to send you a rather tasteless candygram, but wasn’t sure to where I should send it. :-)
    And I think the big guy will cut you some slack. Although, as someone who is technically Irish Catholic, I understand the guilt — Irish Catholicism has the same guilt as Judiasm*, but the food isn’t nearly as good (unless you’re into boiled taters and cabbage … in which case, you should have your freakin’ head examined).
    Again, great to hear you’re recovering.
