Intrigued by my bio, or by something I said? My DMs are open, and I'm happy to answer sincere questions about my faith. No need to be afraid to offend me - I know that most people disagree with me about God! I used to be in that camp too.

tfw there's a person you thought highly of and they behave in a totally unreasonable fashion
so disappointing.
Weird phone call to the supermarket customer service, reporting that I haven't had a refund for substitutes I sent back.
-Can I ask you what your reason was for sending these items back?
-Mmmm... because I don't want them?
Went outside.
So good for my soul, let alone the physical advantages. Just being out in the fresh air, seeing the beauty of creation all around me - my inner hermit naturally resists what is actually really good for me.
Today in why do people
I set a submission deadline and two weeks later someone sends me an article
I'm due to publish today. 😬

Joke making the rounds in Israel is that Israeli elections are like shopping in @IKEA. First you make the choice, and then you scratch your head over how to assemble the item
Still totally zapped one day later. It was one of those group things when you keep moving from one bitty conversation to another! And I was right in the middle of the table. Introvert life is hard, yo.

This should be made into a game... Get people to guess the 10 worst current conflicts in the world and most of them will say Gaza (which is currently running in 12th place)
Interesting! I know my husband is perfectly comfortable driving at night, while I find it super stressful.
More women than men don’t like driving at night. Turns out there’s a physiological reason.Men have more rods in their retinas which gives them better night vision. Just another under researched difference in our biologies.

The third weirdest thing about this line of reasoning is that Palestinians don't want to be Israeli citizens and vote in Israeli elections. 1/

Arabs living in Palestinian controlled territories (Area A & Gaza): We hate Israel, we don't want to be part of Israel or have anything to do with it. We'll hold our own elections, with no Jews allowed. (They haven't held one in more than twenty years.)
The same people: the Jews won't let us vote in Israel, it's apartheid!
Meanwhile Arabs living in Israel vote every four years as equal citizens.
Current status: survived a group social event in the actual morning, have had one snooze and one afternoon coffee and am fully expecting to nod off again any minute now. I am, for those who might be new here, an introvert night owl. Difficult time etc. T&P.

"What's election day like in Israel?"
Oh you know, pretty normal. Probably the same as every other country.
Just seen a post on a WhatsApp group where someone actually asked who we're all wanting to win today's elections
Glad to see the only response was an appropriate emoji reaction: 🤐
