I have not. That's truly hysterical! Kiddush on prune juice and the works?

well everyone comes with an attendant. I think it started about 70 years ago when the congregation was young and then they got old but didn't change the name of the shul. Prune Juice, thanks for reminding me, great to have on hand for Pesach.

Because that's what you are. The fact that you can sing the oldies just means you have an appreciation for good music.

And you sing this? I was thinking "Betty Lou got a new pair of shoes" or, "the name game" or something from a blues album. This is truly ancient!

yeah, some of it predates the memory of these people. They can remember old songs but not what they ate an hour ago.

Thank you for the chuckles, JewishFoodie and SouthernBubby. Good note to start my day on.

I didn't mean to derail your original post, youngsouthernbubby, so, in response to your question, the strangest thing I found while cleaning was a calligraphy pen with an entire set of ink tubes. I asked everyone in my house if they ever got it, used it, or bought it. Nope, no one. Ever. Weird.

It had to have been me that put it there because it was in a very high cupboard and when I got married, Manishevitz was the rage among all the housewives because gefilte fish would never have to swim in the bathtub again, prior to cooking.

What makes it even better is that sometimes I get to read a public thread that's lighthearted, humorous, engaging, and doesn't involve suicide, homosexuality, and homicidal husbands. There's also this awesome thing on IMAMOTHER that when a thread doesn't interest you, you can ignore it. I for one, enjoy SouthernBubby and if even one person smiled at her posts or responses to it, it was a post worth seeing. But if you'd like me to shut up, I will do that, to make you happy. Salut

Apparently no one else finds anything strange while organizing.
Or they don't organize.
Or they don't find things.
Or they aren't old enough to have accumulated strange things.
Or they just can't find the courage to enter a conversation when they aren't near old enough to argue their status as a bubbly
Or
Or
Or

Cool
