“you can’t unring a bell” that’s what I thought when I woke up March 10, 1986 I was scheduled to have a vasectomy that afternoon at 2 I was keeping my part of the unspoken agreement I had made with the crazy blonde woman with who

Hey Mod, you Mensch , don't mean to be picky, but isn't it the 2nd commandment that we should not bow down to any other kings, etc? Leave it to another Jew to be such a kvetch! Baruch Hashem, y'all - Moskowitz
My wife is a Suduko master - me, a novice, but it's very cool and fun. Damn it, they're not easy as she makes it look.
This is easily the best piece of yours I've read. Masterfully done! Beautiful! Buddah
As someone who dated women older than me (for long stretches in my 20's and 30's), don't rule out anyone. Sometimes, the age difference is significant (I was involved with someone 15 years older than me, which became a problem when she went through menopause and I was still rarin' to go at 37), but I think if you're 35, how young is he? Unless he's under 21, he might be very mature and sick of the dating games that males must play with women in their
Beautiful! I have always felt that understatement has its own power. Your poem (and the self restraint it advocates) is proof positive. Well done, indeed! Thanks for sharing your insight. --Shalom , Moskowitz
good feeling of dissatisfied longing here ...
Your question poses an interesting, but unresolvable question. To wit: ParaTed2k said it was Jesus who spoke to Moses on Mt. Sinai. As a Jewish believer, I respectfully disagree, as I do not believe that Jesus is God. For those who believe Jesus is the messiah, then Ted's reasoning makes sense. However, if you don't accept that Jesus is the messiah, then David's belief in Jesus as messiah is perhaps unanswerable (assuming that human David (the Human

Tex - what a beautiful tribute to your grandfather. I barely knew either of mine, but I know how loss feels. Link Just enjoy every bit of time you have with Pa. Remember as much as you can. Also, Happy BIrthday! Getting Older isn't a bad thing at all, Link just takes a little getting used
Same thing happens every year: after Thanksgiving the whole world seemed to be dressed in red and green and snow white with colored lights with everyone was playing the same music and then on December 26 it all stops all the laughter all the music all the togetherness <
Beebeleh - I know it feels so bad, but it isn't. Things'll get better - could be worse you could have a plastic heart Link remember the quote (forgot who said it) if I had to choose between pain and nothing, I'd always choose pain. Take care, shalom Moskowitz
Couldn't have said it better myself ... Link Thanks for your refreshing perspectives. Thank God there'll always be Mexicans, especially since I'm one. Shalom, 'miga!

I agree. I wouldn't have cheated on your wife too. Seriously, I was in a long-term relationship with someone I lived with, and I wasn't faithful to her. She didn't deserve that. I also think that even though I regret what I did, it showed me that I needed to leave that relationship.
And, another Monkee mom, Mike Nesmith's grandma, invented White-Out!
Beautiful desperation. Ouch. Good.
Ah, youth. I wouldn't go back even if I could. good job
Your writing has assumed a confidence that is admirable. Not sure I understand this one , but that just means we're in different places. Good work.
Not only did you start out adult life wonderfully, you are right on course. What I mean is we all start off with big ideas and lofty ambition and the truth of the matter is everybody's got regret, mistakes, etc. Those are the things you learn from. You are now starting the process of becoming you. It's funny, but when you're a kid, the world wants to fit you into their little categories (so you can learn to be part of the human community), and for
Well done - a little hard to follow but the overall feel was captured.
I tend to be biased in favor of all his works, including his mistakes, but here are a partial list of faves: Crimes and Misdemeanors (the best story he wrote) Zelig (mockumentary ahead of it's time) Broadway Danny Rose (funny and sentimental) Take the Money and Run (so many laughs) Deconstructing Harry (refreshingly vicious) Love and Death (transitional film, but very funny) Hannah and Her Sisters (for my money, his sin
