Are you connected to Chedva (Grossman) Tennenberg? If so she was in High School with me in Israel, and I've been searching for her all over.

Far be it from me to dispense medical advice, but Zahava was always told that the occasional drink actually helped the 'let down' reflex' ... and beer actually helped increase lactation.</p>
<p>Lioness... No need to explain. I lose track of the time pretty easily as well. Thanks.</p>
<p>Essie... The whole feeling of being the odd man out around holiday time is one of the many things that let us to consider aliyah. </p>
<p>Doctor Bean... This jar of instant coffee will be waiting for you whenever you and Ball and Chain decide to bring the family to Israel for a visit. I say with complete confidence that no matter how long it takes you to finally take the trip... this jar will be the one you see the first morning you come down for breakfast. :-)</p>
<p>Shevy... Last year they also included honey, but I think the general idea was to include items that suggest comfort and abundance.</p>
<p>Drew... Good idea. I have sent an email to the guy who organizes speakers and asked him to help me make that happen.</p>
<p>Jewish Blogmiester... When you register online for the card they ask that you also email them a picture. If you end up with a bad photo on your card you have nobody to blame but yourself. :-)</p>
<p>Lisa... Yikes! That must have landed one or both of you on the couch for a little guilt therapy. No worries about the shedding. Jordan spent the weekend shedding enough hair to make a whole 'nother dog! :-)</p>
<p>Mgreen... Thanks. Yes it has been a bit more exciting lately that I would have liked... but all seems to have ended well (tfu tfu tfu!).</p>
<p>Val... Like I said to Shevy, I think it was just a random selection of comfort items that one is likely to see around the kitchen and dinner table. As for the Yanks and the Red Sox, let's keep the bragging for the end of the season. :-)</p>
<p>Talmida... I love hearing about stories like your mother's. It is what I try to visualize when speaking to my family about such a difficult subject.</p>
<p>Alan Tennenberg... But you're a doctor!

<p>Our rabbi gave a talk a few years ago on the importance of organ donation. In the states, more important than carrying any card is having your loved ones know that you want to be a donor, since they are the ones who will have to give permision, card or no card.</p>

Thanks for the info on organ donation in halacha. Will definitely look into it. That gift box from your employer is so nice! I've been at my company for 6 years, and although they are amazingly accomodating for all the holidays, I still get a Christmas card & gift from my manager, with apologies for it not being given on Chanukah. (The company issued calendars have Chanukah on them! Can't he read?)</p>Lioness commented on 'Photo Friday (Vol. XLI) [gift edition]'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55052223688342005-09-23T12:35:25Z2008-02-14T04:39:47ZLionesshttp://lioness-pride.blogspot.com[Er, sorry for hogging, I seem to be doing the Oh-It's-Shabbat-Who-Knew thingy again, actually thought this was older post, so:...<p>[Er, sorry for hogging, I seem to be doing the Oh-It's-Shabbat-Who-Knew thingy again, actually thought this was older post, so: SHABBAT SHALOM!]</p>Alice commented on 'Photo Friday (Vol. XLI) [gift edition]'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503e915a88332005-09-23T12:14:25Z2008-02-14T04:38:44ZAliceOn a shallow note, since I'm nursing our new baby Jacob I can't have a Knob Creek manhattanm which I'm...<p>On a shallow note, since I'm nursing our new baby Jacob I can't have a Knob Creek manhattanm which I'm now craving since seeing the picture, so I'd like to request that you drink one in my honor.

In fact, the HODS card is not a legally binding 'living will'. It is just a reminder to the bearer to make sure one's family is aware of your wishes. I encourage registering with ADI (Dave has thoughtfully given us the link in his comment).</p>
<p>Jack... Between you and my sister I may not check my email until after the Sox are back in first place. Meaning after the weekend.</p>
<p>Sarah... HODS does wonderful work in making observant folks aware of the various opinions. But a living will or registration with ADI is still a must.</p>
<p>Val... Oy, the Yankees take the lead for two days after trailing almost the whole season and 'surprise surprise'... here you are! Good morning! :-)</p>
<p>Dave... Thanks for posting the URLs! Shabbat Shalom.</p>
<p>Lioness... While your eyes are quite beautiful... and I'm sure they would be very much appreciated by someone in need... I hope you get to use them for the full 120 years. And thank you for your good wishes for Jordan. I agree with every word you wrote about doing the kind/responsible things for our pets. Unfortunately in this way Israelis are not yet very sophisticated. </p>Lioness commented on 'Photo Friday (Vol. XLI) [gift edition]'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e550521b9888342005-09-23T11:09:27Z2008-02-14T04:38:30ZLionesshttp://lioness-pride.blogspot.comOh the poor thing, strychnine is so painful and so quickly lethal, she was lucky indeed (sorry Jordan, for mistaking...<p>Oh the poor thing, strychnine is so painful and so quickly lethal, she was lucky indeed (sorry Jordan, for mistaking you for a male). I am leaving this comment here hoping it will be read because that Golden retriever you mention, w a bloated, infected uterus? She probably had pyometra, which can also kill very fast and painfully, and occurs in unspayed bitches. Owners should know that spaying may lengthen their dogs' lives (pyometra/breast cancer). And it is a bit criminal to allow animals to roam who will become impregnated/impregnate others, especially in countries where there already is a scarily extensive and miserable population of feral cats/dogs and no one to take care of them.</p>
<p>[Sorry, David, but you know I will one day be paid for this and the problem is such a big one in Israel and I've seen bitches die horribly just bcs spaying isn't "natural, the poor things..." and animals starve, it drives me insane.]</p>Lioness commented on 'Photo Friday (Vol. XLI) [gift edition]'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e550521ce888342005-09-23T11:00:57Z2008-02-14T04:38:43ZLionesshttp://lioness-pride.blogspot.comOH OH stupid me, I don't even know what was wrong w Jordan, will read on and try and find...<p>OH OH stupid me, I don't even know what was wrong w Jordan, will read on and try and find out but yes, live, healthy pets, EXCELLENT news always!

Can you believe it? I actually WOULD and am not allowed. Blah.</p>

Anyway, may my loss and family and friends' grief be someone else's salvation and joy. There is balance in most things.<br />
