Purim

I want to wish all our Jewish friends a festive Purim. Today is the start of Purim this year. Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination.

For a quick reference on Purim the website Judaism 101 has a great primer. http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday9.htm

This year Easter and Purim are celebrated on the same weekend. In our house hold we always have a big Easter celebration. This years as usual we will be decorating Easter Eggs the traditional European way , by boiling the eggs in onion skins. Roast lamb and ham will be the main courses, with lots of side dishes, salads and appetizers. This year Easter will as usual be at our house .

As of today we are looking at 18 people, but it might be as many as 22. ( we always have extended family and friends over for the holidays)

So Happy Easter, a Joyous Purim and Happy 1st day of Spring!

Feel the Love...

Hi there! Happy New Year to all. Ah yes... the elections are coming up quick and on another note, as usual the islamic ones are at it again. And the beat goes on.....

On the international front we have the muslims threatening violence about a film to be released in Holland about ol Mo's life by Gert Wilders. http://jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/ Here in the US we have sharia creep in the form of Harvard kow towing to the muslims regarding separate woman's only hours for the student gym... http://frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=C9A33CD4-88D4-4162-A1C1-6777D90821EC

And here on the home front in good ol Illinois, I finally got a reaction from one of our local "feel the love" types as I was on the road yesterday (Sunday) going to a Woodman"s store. (Woodman's is the best stock up store) As you may know from previous posts I and the rest of my family all have the Jihad Watch bumper stickers on our vehicles. http://www.heavystix.com/main.sc?sourceCode=Jihad_Watch (You too can order them from the link to the left)

Any ways, as I was driving along on Algonquin road , I heard a car horn beeping in back of me, I glanced back and saw a little mini cooper with a male driver in it gesturing wildly. A little strange but , I didn't think too much of it as we live out in the way northwest outreaches of the collar counties and you do get some strange drivers. I checked to see what was going on in back, front and around me, didn't see anything , just other car, nothing unusual, and since I had been obaying all trafic laws and hadn't made any lane changes etc... I continued on. This little mini cooper then speeds up and gets on my bumper, and keeps honking. I ignored him, aperently getting him mad, and then he darts into the left lane to pass me, giving me the finger, honking his horn . As he passes I could see he was of possibly pakistani or other such descent. It started to make sense.

This yahoo was incensed that I knew the truth about islam and had the Jihad bumper stickers on my car! He objected to the "Defeat Jihad" and "Outlaw Sharia" bumper stickers. He passes to the left, gets back into my lane in front of me, and then slowed down, hitting his brakes, all the time giving me the finger.

I always drive defensively and had no problem avoiding hitting him or others. I just smiled, waved at him and laughed as I continued driving. I could tell he was watching me from his rear view mirror , and the fact that I smiled sweetly at him and waved just incensed him more! (After all, to add insult to his ego/honor, I was a woman laughing at him) He finally turned into a store parking lot of off Algonquin road, and I continued on my way to Woodman's. I felt good to get a rise from the islamic idiot, at least he knows that we are waking up to the threat that islam poses.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and blog on!
