Happy Holiday! Pesach (Passover) started yesterday evening.
I didn't think about it particularly. In fact, I was trying not too think too much at all as I recovered from a migraine. Mark wanted to pick up a fuse for our lightning-struck computer, so I stopped off at the Clothing Exchange whilst he did his technical duties. Lucky me! I found several summer items (hallelujah) and ran into Ana Gerda (the 'crazy Brazilian' as my family fondly calls her). So we tried on and swapped some clothes and then I headed home for dinner. Mark got home shortly thereafter and we settled in for some yummy leftovers.
Then, rather unexpectedly, our doorbell rang! After looking quizzically at each other, I went to see who was at the door [sometimes people will come to random doors in Israel to try to get you to open up so they can steal stuff, etc. - no seriously, I've had people try it on me before - and no, I didn't open the door]. Well, wasn't I in for a surprise!?
It was our neighbor! And he had flowers?!
You know - the one I have complained about rather relentlessly for the past month or so? Yeah, that one. Yeah, mean ugly dog. Yeah, snatching flowers. Well, Mark spoke to them and they apologized.
And for Pesach they brought us flowers and wished us Chag Sameach! And the world was wonderful! And I feel bad for being for wretched.
It's so nice to have my faith restored in humanity. (at least a little bit) :-)
Oh my goodness! And now I can't get "Good neigbhors come in all colors..." out of my head!
*(or, for the Anglos, phonetically speaking it sounds like "hog samek" to me)
Thanks for stopping by 'Flitzy' with your translation of the French! I so appreciate your taking the time to do that, Mara. Please visit again...
Yes, 'good neighbors' comes to mind for me too with you explanation. Now you might wish to do something nice for them to show how much you appreciated their gift and apology. I think Maman and Mimi would advise that you need to do some work to maintain friendships and nice neighbors. Maybe a bag of doggy yummies for your pet terrorist dawg for Easter. Whatever....

It is hard to find knowledgeable people on this subject, but you sound like you recognize what you’re talking about! Thanks
An interesting discussion may be worth remark. I think that you ought to create more about this particular topic, it might not be considered a taboo subject but usually people are not enough to speak upon such subjects. To the next. Regards
I begrudgingly concede that you completed some good points there. I did a search on the subject matter and found a good number of persons will go along with with your thoughts.
Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
French is a Romance language spoken as a first language by around 136 million people worldwide. A total of 250 million speak it as either a first or as a second language. Moreover, roughly 110 million people learn French as a second or third language. French speaking communities are present in 56 countries and territories. Most native speakers of the language live in France, the rest live essentially in Canada, particularly Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario, as well as Belgium, Algeria, Switzerland, Monaco, Luxembourg, and certain places in the U.S. states of Maine and Louisiana. Most second-language speakers of French live in Francophone Africa, arguably exceeding the number of native speakers.
French is a descendant of the Latin language of the Roman Empire, as are national languages such as Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian and Catalan, and minority languages ranging from Occitan to Neapolitan and many more. Its closest relatives however are the other langues d'oïl and French-based creole languages. Its development was also influenced by the native Celtic languages of Roman Gaul and by the (Germanic) Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders.

French is an official language in 30 countries, most of which form what is called, in French, La Francophonie, the community of French-speaking countries. It is an official language of all United Nations agencies and a large number of international organizations. According to the European Union, 129 million (or 26% of the Union's total population), in 27 member states speak French, of which 65 million are native speakers and 69 million claim to speak French either as a second language or as a foreign language, making it the third most spoken second language in the Union, after English and German. Twenty-percent of non-Francophone Europeans know how to speak French, totaling roughly 145.6 million people.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
You have many useful suggestions on this site.
Good post!
Thanks for this great post, i will post trackback from me.
I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
As I website possessor I believe the content material here is rattling great , appreciate it for your efforts. You should keep it up forever! Best of luck.
Hi there I am wondering if I can usability this article on entire of my blogs if I element bankroll b reverse to you? Thanks!
If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
This is this kind of a good resource that youre providing and also you give it away for cost-free. I get pleasure from seeing websites that understand the worth of delivering a prime resource for no cost. I really loved reading your post. Thanks!

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Thus let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
Well, I believe that clears up 2 issues for me personally. How about any person else?
There are a small number plain old citizens who never to leave the house.
fantastic post, very informative. I ponder why the other specialists of this sector don't realize this. You should proceed your writing. I am confident, you have a huge readers' base already!
Thanks for every other informative website. The place else could I get that kind of information written in such a perfect means? I have a mission that I'm simply now operating on, and I have been on the glance out for such info.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
