Yeah, it’s a very individual thing, if I met someone amazing who could take care of themselves financially but couldn’t work for a legit reason, it wouldn’t be an immediate disqualifier. It’s a rare situation, but clearly it exists. I’d have to get over my own guilt complex but everyone has to do their thing to make a…

I’m mostly vegetarian, but on the occasions I do eat meat it’s usually with some dairy. Going to a vegetarian restaurant it’s like...yaaaaaaassss....I am going to eat the world!

I wish there were more kosher restaurants where I live, I don’t keep kosher myself but especially with meat it feels more ethical. Plus that’d be an indicator that I was gonna get some real, fresh cuisine, not something frozen from the kosher section of the grocery store.

Definitely indigestion! Basically, it’s a sin, but there’s no solid concept of heaven and definitely not one of hell in Judaism, so you’re supposed to be accountable for your own sins. In my view, it boils down to your soul. A lot of it has to do with how you were brought up, but if it weighs heavily on you for…

I’m mixed, but thanks for your concern.

I understand that different disabilities mean that some disabled people can have career jobs, some can only work from home, and others might not be able to work at all. One of my friends has acute lupus, can’t really do much outside the house, but she’s a whiz with a crochet hook and runs an Etsy shop and does…

I’ve stopped caring about whether what I want is okay by feministy standards, and my dating life has improved so much! Homeboy needs to:

To my knowledge, no. I don’t really know if it counts as breaking kosher if you were unaware, that’s something the Talmud could give an answer on, but to me, nah.

I’ve noticed among my female friends, it’s the ones who are already short who have a tall-guys-only rule. Obviously if you’re six feet or over you probably want someone within a few inches, but it’s not necessarily a rule that you broadcast on social media as a pathetic attempt at fishing. Sorry, I don’t find it super…

I feel like there are tiers to some people. Pork is the most hardcore rule, you technically shouldn’t even have it in your house. Then comes shellfish. After that comes mixing dairy and meats. There are more rules, but those are the big three. I vaguely recall a story a lady from my former temple telling about her…

I know there’s something about him that doesn’t quite add up, but I haven’t really kept up with the gossip rags on that one. Nick Lachey was balls deep in love with her, and it really came off like she used him to get her career going in the end. Not cool.

She probably was, I’ve known my share of Jewish women who would bend the rules or “cheat” — bacon and pork are eschewed, but not lobster. Or lobster and shrimp are eschewed, but chicken parmesan is fine. All of god’s children can be hypocrites though :P

It also reinforces a nasty stereotype about Jews, especially Jewish women — then again, it wouldn’t be a stereotype if some people hadn’t done it in the first place. Kosher food is more expensive, not twice the cost but it’s just more of a process so the end cost is more. No one is entitled to a kosher or halal meal…

I loved the state-run, surveillanced taxi service in Finland. The drivers got some kind of discount so they always had really nice cars that were impeccably clean. The downside was that it was horrifically expensive, but if a snowstorm started up during my lunch that showed no signs of slowing down, I’d pay 15 euros…

Yes. She was opening for 98 Degrees when they started dating, and because of Papa Joe, they got married pretty quickly so they could do the sex. *During* the marriage she did get a lot more famous, and by the time Newlyweds was over and they were actively divorcing, she was the richer one. He could have wreaked some…

The Keith Urban quandary: can an Australian, or a Brit, truly be a country musician?

I need to vent about 9/11 fetishizing and this seems like a safe place to do it.

Confession: I love Nick Lachey. I want to like Jessica Simpson, but this was a flat out rude thing to say. He was clearly in love with her and the end of the marriage destroyed him for years; he may have moved on, but the fact that his current wife played Jessica in the video for “What’s Left Of Me” really should have…

Except the one about the Jesus statue. That would have been awesome, and since Jesus was all about feeding the poor, I would have boxed up his meal and eaten it myself later after they left. After all, he wants people to eat his body, I don’t think he’d be pissed if someone ate his entree instead.
