#14 is especially funny because last night we were woken up at 2am by massive thunder, wind, and branches crashing next door. It was a "severe thunderstorm warning"... and no one even blinked this morning! My adult Hebrew students came in at the usual time talking about how wet it was and how their internet was down because of the fallen cables. And that was it. I, on the other hand, was traumatized and was very worried for Osher, who was outside last night. (Note: he raced in at around 11am, soaking wet and very glad to see the food bowl.)

Yer giggly Savta

Let's just say that Osher tolerates her, but does not love her. Rather like how he treated Xander in the beginning, actually.
And haha Chana, you wouldn't know it from the streets, huh? :)
LOL! you did add that there are 8 hidden body piercing _in addition_ to the dozen visible ones!
Do you think its too late for us to have a baby shower? we never got one in Cinci. ;-)
It really does surprise me now visiting other cities and not seeing/hearing Spanish all over place as well as lots of other languages.
You should definitely have a baby shower - *giggle* - just tell the kids to hide out so no one can tell they're teens. :)
And I hope it was clear, I should have put in the post - I didn't write that, it was a forward.
