Where did it go?
There was mail I really-really wanted to read.
Where did it go?
Will it come back?
Tch!
Ah well. Started another 8-week JLI course (Jewish Learning Institute) tonight. It's really geared toward couples, but I figured even as a singleton, there would be something for me to learn. And sure enough I was right. G-d created Adam both male and female. Then after he breathed a soul into the creation, he split the androgynous body into male and female. Thus, we say, in marriage, two bodies one soul. Man or woman is not considered a complete person without a spouse.
So where's the other half of my soul?
Judaism seems like a male-oriented religion, male domination, but isn't quite so. I'll quote a paragraph here that gives a lie to that notion:
"Before marrying my grandmother, Rebbetzin Chava Hecht, my grandfather, Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht, o.b.m., told her, 'I being a "Yanky," an old-fashioned American boy, will marry you only under the following condition: I must be the head [italicized]of the house.' My grandmother responded, 'You can be the head, but I will be the neck [italicized], and wherever the neck turns, the head has to follow."
Sorry I can't make italics or underscores here, so I have to use [ ] to point out the original emphasis. And o.b.m. is abbreviation for "of blessed memory."
That wasn't part of the text, but there are always several pages of additional reading, and that's where this little item was.
Well, the butler just announced that Madam has mail, so I better go look before it, too, disappears.
Shalom

Here are some basic HTML codes for you. If you print them out, you will have them right there. Remember to take out the spaces when you use them.
< i> Italics < /i> End italics
< b> Bold < /b> End bold
< u> Underscore < /u> End underscore
< s> Strikeout < /s> End strikeout
< blockquote> SE < /blockquote>
< hr> insert line (You don't need to close that tag)
To make a hyperlink that opens in another window:
<a href="http://www.(whatever URL you want here-- no parnethesis)/"target="_blank">whatever text you want here</a>
Those are the codes I use most often. BTW, would you like me to host your photo for you so that it comes back? I'd be more than happy to do it if you'd email me the photo.

Sure a lot of computer problems going on in the past week. Hospital, clinics, post offices, etc. I am talking major breakdowns
PYC: Dear GS was violating curfew and arguing with me when I put him on house arrest for punishment. He went to range (his driving course on Saturday morning at 9:30 and did not return or call until after 23:00 that night. I was livid.. and worried sick. He turned off my power when I was on the computer writing to his PO.. To make matters worse, the police had questioned him and make a report which the PO's always get.. He had lied to me and said it was for suspected auto theft, and that during questioning the true thieves were apprehended thus he was released and came home. In reality he was on private property on a crane over 60 feet in the air taking pix of the city and basically risk taking.. It is a site where they are building a new hospital
So.. anyway. Not all that serious. But stupid things and then arguing with me.. and threatening me.. It just all added up and I told PO and then she got the true police report and put out a warrant.. But he is out now.. and taking him final exams..
We hope he takes this serious or he'll be back in lock up.. and the next step is removing him from my home, if I can't control him..
Sorry so long

Loved your entry. I know we've talked about this very thing before and I believe it to be true...
But I think we all have a male and female part to us.. Not necessarily out there somewhere in the world. Although I don't rule that out either. I just find myself having some male.. (maybe.. i can't be sure having been born in female body), but seems to me I possess masculine characteristics and also very gentle female characteristics.. ?? it's a deep topic to ponder
Hugs to you

I loved that neck/head letter.
