Travel stories always work really well. Especially if you have been to somewhere other tan Isreal (where your date has likely been).

women and tefillin, halacha, the shulchan aruch and chumash...discuss rabbanim....discuss obama and mc cain....discuss the economy....stupid things that people do...profane language, etc.

TKB- makes sense, 'cept I've never been anywhere cool. Unless Niagara Falls counts...

TOL- Sure, lemme know how it goes. :-p

Chanie- where were you when I was compiling this list? :-p And where have you been lately? Long, long time, no see!

chanie said...

I don't know where I was when you were compiling it...
I do know that I kept meaning to read blogs and honestly, I've barely found time to breathe these past few weeks (blame it on schoolwork and other work).
I kept meaning to do a lot of things..whatever, I'm back now. :)
And SD, I think the Kallah Bug just bit me...after who-knows-how-many months. But maybe it's just a passing flu...

Something Different said...

Chanie- other things?? LOL

chanie said...

What do you mean, "other things"?
