That’s rough. you’ve been dealt a challenging hand of cards, this round. You’ve done well.
Here’s an awesome recent Kdrama you might like:
ABOUT
What is real and what is made up? In a bizarre blurring of truth and fiction, Oh Yeon Joo (Han Hyo Joo) is a second-year cardiothoracic resident doctor whose father mysteriously disappears one day. Oh Sung Moo (Kim Eui Sung) writes the most popular webtoon series known as “W,” but his assistant artist, Park Soo Bong (Lee Shi Un), is in a panic because Sung Moo disappears on the day before he is supposed to finish the final episode of the webtoon. When Yeon Joo goes into her father’s drawing room to investigate, an unexplainable thing happens. A bloodied hand appears out of a tablet screen and pulls Yeon Joo onto a rooftop where Kang Cheol (Lee Jong Suk) is bleeding from a stab wound. Yeon Joo ends up saving Kang Cheol’s life, only to realize after the incident that Cheol is the main character of her father’s webtoon! The next day, Sung Moo just as mysteriously returns and is intent on writing the final episode of the webtoon and once again tries to kill off Kang Cheol. But when Yeon Joo tries to talk her father out of ending the series, she finds herself sucked back into the world of Kang Cheol, his secretary Yoon So Hee (Jung Yoo Jin) and bodyguard Seo Do Yoon (Lee Tae Hwan). Then everything that happens to Yeon Joo in Kang Cheol’s world is automatically drawn as the next episode of her father’s webtoon. Why is Yeon Joo becoming embroiled in the fictional life of Kang Cheol and who is writing the story? “W” is a 2016 South Korean drama series directed by Jung Dae Yoon.

An entry that I had posted on my own blog has been deleted. It’s basically a humor blog. Most of its not political. The one openly Zionist comment was deleted. I basically said:
To my knowledge, nobody has written about “Foundation” by Isaac Asimov, as possibly the greatest Zionist novel. The lightbulb went on over my head, when I was reading a history of the Jewish people by the great 19th Century German Jewish Historian, Heinrich Graetz. He refers to R. Johanan Ben Zachai, whom I had never heard of. R. obviously stands for Rabbi. I never saw the R. prefix anywhere else except in Asimov’s character R. Daneel Olivaw, the robot detective who becomes the prime mover in human history 20 years later when Asimov merged the Robot and Foundation Series.
Asimov wrote the story on which the Foundation series was based during WWII when he was stationed in NY harbor in the Merchant Marines. He said he based it on Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
What Hitchcock called “the McGuffin*”: Both the fictional Hari Seldon, the founder of the science of Psycho-history and the real Johannen ben Zachai, the founder of modern rabbinical Judaism, negotiate with the decadent empire that is oppressing their people the creation of a scholastic community in a remote part of the empire that will devote itself to the creation of a compendium of knowledge so it won’t be lost, in the one case, The Encyclopedia Galactica, and in the other, The Talmud.
What the founders know but neither community knows is that the objective forces that will brought to bear on the communities created to support this work in the centuries to come will bring about in the one case, the rebirth of the Galactic Empire as the Foundation in only 1,000 years instead of the 30,000 years of barbarism predicted when the old Empire collapses. And, in the other, in only 2,000 years, the rebirth of the Jewish Commonwealth, Israel.
“A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Aaah, a pioneer. And a Cohen, no doubt. I’m diabetic, as well, but just another type 2 grunt. I’m borderline. But you knew that.
I read or heard somewhere that the teachers in the great Yeshivas of yore would have their students draw the Hebrew letters in honey on their palms and then lick it off to inculcate a love of study. It works, I’ve tried it. It’s Pavlovian before Pavlov. Any boring thing you have to learn – eat something delicious at the same time or watch a tv program or listen to music you love while doing it or reward yourself when you meet goals you set. The pleasure will rub off and make it fun even when you remove the externals. The tail does wag the dog.
On a different note:
Often the same habits we form to protect ourselves in one arena turn into the opposite when we enter another, e.g., Diaspora Jewish defeatism and desire to appease our tormentors.
When I was a child, growing up in NYC in the ’60s and ’70s of the last century (I just love saying that. Now we’re cooking with gas!) I never encountered any anti-semitism. I was astonished to meet other Jewish New Yorkers about my age who had growing up.
But the reason is now known thanks to the wonders of modern science.
I was shielded by the fact that in an era when young people were becoming addicted to all kinds of things left and right, I became addicted, at an early age, to instant ramen.
It turns out that it’s a well-known axiom in the field of Political Nutrition that anti-semitism is caused by Carbohydrate Deficiency (CIS or Carb Insufficiency Syndrome) for which the chemical formula is E=n3, which written out is E=nxnxn which stands for Every Nazi Needs a Noodle.
Now, as in every genuine scientific discipline, there is room for alternative explanations.
Another theory holds that anti-semitism is caused rather by severe dehydration for which the recommended treatment is thorough liquidation. And rest in a quiet undisturbed environment. And call me in the morning.
But seriously, there are two kinds of anti-semites, I tell people. The good kind, and the ones who are still breathing.
My mouth is still hanging open from:

Don’t feel bad. Jimmy Carter was a nuclear engineer in the navy, a protege of Admiral Rickover no less. Carter lost Iran and Nicaragua and revealed himself to be a rabid anti-semite.
In Roxanne (1987) an update of Cyrano, Steve Martin tells his Protégé, “Just go up and talk to her. Don’t be shy. It’s not like she’s a rocket scientist. Well, actually, she is a rocket scientist.”
You probably just need someone to show you what steps to go through to do what you want to do. Like following a recipe. And then practice it a few times under supervision when you don’t need it. Like rehearsing dance moves until they become second nature.

A true Texan would not only mount Longhorns on the front of his truck(which to him is loved far more than a Cadillac), but also sided by a pair of boots with 7 inch heels (maybe worn by Audie MUrphy) and a pair of spurs a foot long. So people have to start moving out of the way as soon as the dust cloud made by the truck is spotted….

Yes, long replies may just disappear. Here’s what you can do. If it’s medium-long, just do ctrl-A, Ctrl C, deselect by clicking outside the box, to copy it to clipboard. If it disappears, ctl-v to paste will restore it so you can edit it to make it shorter and try again. If it’s really long, type it in Google Docs or Word, say, select, copy and paste it in WordPress. If it disappears, you still have it in the other document. Don’t know Apple but you can do the same thing, just different commands. Never seen a Progressive without an Apple/Mac. I guess it’s the PC thing to do. ha ha.

Could do worse. Don Rickles was Litvak and possibly Hungarian Jewish, as well.
“Rickles was born Donald Jay Rickles in the New York City borough of Queens on May 8, 1926[4] to Max Rickles (1897–1953), who emigrated in 1903 with his parents Joseph and Frances Rickles (Richters) from Kaunas, Lithuania[5] (then in the Russian Empire), and Etta (Feldman) Rickles (1901–1984), born in New York to immigrant parents from the Austrian Empire.[6][7][8][9] His family was Jewish and spoke Yiddish at home. Rickles grew up in the Jackson Heights area.[4]”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Rickles

now we see why Obama “backed” comey… now he appoints kadzik who will see that the “findings of a preliminary investigation” will be issued by Kadzik just prior to election in time to clear her. Comey will be out of the picture..DOJ kadzik takes it over and as a prosecutor makes the decision not to proceed. this way they will be seen to be doing it by the book and ending up issuing a statement that will appear to clear hillary. This is where the crooked GOP should be demanding an independent prosecutor in congress.
It is the GOP congress who should be demanding all sorts of investigations into all the law breaking of the dem campaign.. such as funding violence to destabilize election… a form of sabotage and terrorism that might allow the terror laws to obtain… but the GOP is worthless.

By coincidence, I re-read this very book about a month ago online.at the Gutenberg Project. Just now, I have Orczy’s Laughing Cavalier waiting in line on a browser. She makes a tale that he was the ancestor of the Pimpernel. I’ve been reading Sabatini and Orczy since I was about 8-10 year old, never felt I’d outgrown them….And I saw the film too. Never liked Howard, by thr way, reminded me of Fred Astaire, without his talent. Just suave and a phoney accent.

“Or so it is said”…. earlier this year I bought a Volvo for my youngest daughter. It was slightly used, and in pristine condition. It had 89.000K on the dial. The very first time she used it, the engine blew a gasket. Fortunately the Volvo people repaired it at no cost. After about a few months, the engine went wonky again, something to do with valves, and the way the system worked it would require a complete engine take-down to be disassembled. It would have cost nearly as much to fix it, as a new engine. So I bought a new engine and so-far so good. I actually bought it because of it’s safety features as she has two very young children, one a baby. As I say….. SO far….?????
I also thought it was good for a million…miles not Kilometres……
When I left this country a few years ago for an 30 month stay abroad, I had the most beautiful car I’ve ever possessed. It was a Buick Park Avenue, and I’d had it many years; it was a wonderful car. Never a single problem with it. So I gave it to another daughter. It was not long before she was told by a garage, that, out of the blue, she needed an expensive brake job as well as a steering overhaul involving many parts, etc. Because she is as smart as a whip, with an IQ of 151, I didn’t think it neccessary to tell her that garages which do repairs, prey on women drivers…. It was a very expensive estimate, so she just had it hauled away. My beautiful plush, car. It had flower vases in the back, with a lighter and ashtray at every seat, really too luxurious. It used to remind me whenever I forgot to switch or buckle up or etc. A voice like Jayne Mansfield… Unfortunately her shape did not devolve on the car…..
