What's really sad is when the sarcasm is being generated by the moderators

Fortunately, that does not happen here

I learn a lot here too and really enjoy the friendly atmosphere.
The only thing this forum is missing is a good male-leg-shaving how-to. Those threads crack me up especially since the one thing that they all seem to agree on is that women know next to nothing about shaving. For example, our hair is really fine, and waxing doesn't hurt us like it would a man. And every once in a while someone just has to try Nair.

I just gotta say, I agree wholeheartedly - this forum rocks! I have read a couple of heated discussions here, but nothing like the flaming I've seen on the two other forums I've tried (one triathlon, one automobile). Seems like people can't post anything without getting flamed on those. Not fun, and not helpful. On the downside, I spend waaaayyyy too much time here!
I especially like being able to discuss female-type issues without weirdos jumping in and sending the whole thread down the drain. Not to say there are no weirdos here! Just the good kind, not the creepy kind!
Thanks for all the fantabulous input on so many topics! And, in closing, GO CONTADOR!

If choir practice is starting, does that mean we have to start the Pessach cleaning and cooking and planning too?

I've actually never done that. But I read a Haggadah once, and I liked the bit that (paraphrased) goes -- if I haven't cleaned it yet, I hereby declare it clean anyway!
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

"It" is a part of the Passover seder that is called the 4 questions. They are asked by the youngest child (person) at the seder and henceforth, the story of Passover is told through the answers to the questions. The way Trek phrased her original comment she used the the language and intonation of the real questions; i.e Why is this night different from all other nights? and Why do we eat reclining on pillows this night when we eat sitting up on all other nights?
FYI
I also do not do the total cleaning out, etc before the holiday, but as it often coincides with the beginning of the good cycling weather, I will use that as an excuse, not the fact that I just never do it.
