I love the saying "may your memory be a blessing". Is that a Jewish thing?

Also, loved her accent.

it is a translation from Hebrew. It's actually incorrectly translated, but it's become such a standard to say it in English that it would probably be hard to change now. I have a friend in Tel Aviv who tells me that it really is more like "be his (or her) memory blessed" .... yes, her accent was great.

@reuben salsa this is the post that touched off the issue. I was celebrating Dr. Ruth and our boy decided to call her out as a terrorist.

I had no idea. It's amazing how much you learn about people only after they die. Miss you rest in peace with her parents.

Focus, Steve. Dr. Ruth's main work was sex therapy. Sounds like you need some sex. Maybe therapy, too. Dr. Ruth is no longer here to give you great advice, but she is worth remembering kindly.

George Washington and Patrick Henry were terrorists and extremists.
