Happy birthday, Dallas! Are you drinking virgins' blood? 105 is scary old!

Linda, good cantors, psalmists, song leaders are treasures. I'm sure he laughed because groupie is a cute way describing your appreciation, but can be potentially awkward if you started stalking him. Wink

Most people who serve in religious communities, the ones who keep everything working right, make little to nothing and get ordered around a lot. They need to know and hear that they're appreciated. I'm glad you told him.

Julie, He knows he is appreciated by most of the women at Temple he is very easy on the eyes as well. He is a very nice man wish he was around more, I am sure I will see him sing adon olam in May at our Rabbi's son's Bar Mitzvah.

Do you have women cantors at your temple?

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sat Apr 12, 2014 6:54 pm

No but our Rabbi's wife started the Temple singers as they call themselves the GLT singers for Gesher L'Torah (which means bridge to the Torah). They sing at events like our Purim Festival and other events. All have nice voices, kind of like a church choir

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sun Apr 13, 2014 3:13 am

That's pretty neat. Thanks, I was just curious.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sun Apr 13, 2014 6:59 am

Julie, Anytime I know that there are female Rabbi's so there could be female cantors as well. Anytime you have a question about anything Jewish feel free to ask I don't mind talking about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Warnick_Buchdahl Here is a page about Angela Warnick Buchdahl who is a female Rabbi/Cantor who is the first Asian-American person to be ordained. I saw her on TV and she really impressed me.

I like good voices in Church regardless of which faith is followed. They enrich the experience immensely.

Randoms:

Far North Queensland has been deluged by Cyclone Ita. No lives lost to my knowledge but roads blocked, rivers swollen and damage to infrastructure. 230kph winds. Now it has been reduced to a tropical low passing slowly down the coast and out to sea. Fortunately, we're far enough away that we've just had light, consistent rain.

Holidays are half over. Groan.

Good to see Sami back on deck. My God, this Westie has personality!

Game of Thrones Season 3. OMG. Does anyone watch it?

Julie, how's your mother?

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sun Apr 13, 2014 9:33 pm

Thanks for the BD wishes! I spent it rather uneventfully, working and then going to the parents for dinner.

I don't get HBO anymore, but we got a free weekend a few weeks ago and I DVR'd Game of Thrones seasons 1-3 and got totally addicted. Unfortunately, I can't see what happens now because I don't get HBO and I'm not addicted enough to pay for HBO to be able to find out. I guess there's always Netflix in a few months. Right now I'm suffering from The Walking Dead withdrawals until October. I might watch Lost all the way through or something. Or maybe take up crocheting.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sun Apr 13, 2014 11:47 pm

Female rabbis are new to me. Happy to know there are some.

My mother is fine. She is trying to decide when to retire.

I never got into Game of Thrones. Don't want to yet. One of these years I'll probably sit down and watch the whole thing all at once.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Mon Apr 14, 2014 6:15 am

Nay, I agree singing is nice no matter what religion it is.

Donna, we got a year free HBO but I am not getting addicted to Game of Thrones even though I have friends and family (cousins) who love the show.

Julie, Female Rabbi's was new to me as well till we went to a Bar Mitzvah a few years ago and they had a female Rabbi that is why I was so impressed when I saw the TV special about Rabbi Angela Warnick Buchdahl. Tonight starts the first night of Passover so we are going to friends house for a Seder I so look forward to all the good food and wine.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Mon Apr 14, 2014 10:53 am

Good Passover! And belated Happy Thai New Year to all! I forgot it was yesterday and passed up an opportunity to douse the rugrat in water.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Tue Apr 15, 2014 6:00 am

Happy Thai New Year as well,
Thanks Julie for the Passover wishes we had a good seder with friends last night

Subject: Re: Random Musings Tue Apr 15, 2014 11:29 pm

I have been watching Lost on Netflix. I tried to watch it years back after missing a few seasons and didn't understand. Now that I'm watching it all the way through, it makes more sense.

Have I mentioned I'm suffering from The Walking Dead withdrawals???

Subject: Re: Random Musings Tue Apr 15, 2014 11:43 pm

Can you watch the WD on Netflix?

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sat Apr 19, 2014 8:43 pm

Happy Easter everyone!

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sun Apr 20, 2014 1:30 am

Happy Easter!

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sun Apr 20, 2014 7:22 am

I second that Happy Easter!

Subject: Re: Random Musings Fri Apr 25, 2014 12:30 am

Waiting for everyone to come out of their recent food coma.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Fri Apr 25, 2014 5:51 am

Julie, I am here but still in a food coma since we are having birthday celebrations at work too much good food and another birthday coming up in two weeks. Wonder what they will do for that birthday since it is mine and I will not be part of the planning for it. Plus hubby will take me out to dinner for birthday/Mother's Day and we also have a Bar Mitzvah that weekend so I will be in a food coma for awhile.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Fri Apr 25, 2014 10:28 pm

I can Julie, but the eps aren't new. I think I need to go try the webisodes.

Happy belated Easter, everyone! I'm in hockey playoff coma right now. Have I mentioned how much I hate the Blackhawks? Cuz I do. Random Musings - Page 10 904518

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sat Apr 26, 2014 8:59 pm

What's hockey?

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sun Apr 27, 2014 5:00 am

Hi everyone! How are you all? All chocolates out?

Australia celebrated Anzac Day last Friday which made it a long weekend.

They shall grow not old,
As we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.

Lest we forget.

I'm watching the Australian episode of 'Modern Family'. Such funny writing and even funnier acting.

Current garden project is re-concreting the front pathway and adding more sandstone and slate. It's time consuming but rewarding. My neighbour, a welder by trade, is turning my cast iron panels into security screens. Both are jobs that have been waiting for nearly four years so I'm excited to see the end results.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Sun Apr 27, 2014 11:30 am

Nay, I loved the episode of Modern Family in Australia love that show, so funny.

I got sick at work yesterday managed to make it home with our tossing my cookies and spent the rest of the day in bed, when I did get up to use the restroom up came the cookies. ugh pale

Now trying to feel better hate being sick on a weekend. Just finally ate something hope it will stay down.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Mon Apr 28, 2014 1:34 am

Never seen Modern Family and not interested.
Nay have you run into GB yet?
Linda, get well.
I think I saw Sami commenting on something about GB somewhere around here.

Subject: Re: Random Musings Mon Apr 28, 2014 6:05 am

Julie, Thanks for the get well wishes feeling much better. Modern Family is a very funny show I love it sorry you have no interest it checking it out.
