@karol I'm going to assume this from now on whenever someone cancels on Shabbat dinner.

@bentziavtzon @Eli_Rubin @shabboshouse It's not an accusation, it's an observation. I certainly did include myself (scroll up, pretty sure I said "we").

@bentziavtzon @Eli_Rubin @shabboshouse The problem is also narrow-minded self-righteousness (across the board). Not sure if that's the cause or the effect.

@Eli_Rubin @bentziavtzon @shabboshouse Of course it isn't simple. But I'm talking about the sarcasm.

@shabboshouse @bentziavtzon But it's a good comparison to a sicha.

@shabboshouse @bentziavtzon Fwiw, a drunk might actually have an advantage over a sober person, because he uses the lamppost for both purposes.

@bentziavtzon @Eli_Rubin @shabboshouse 100%, that's my point. But we tend to make snide remarks without looking in the mirror.

@Eli_Rubin @bentziavtzon @shabboshouse Same sarcastic comment can be made both ways. Just saying.

@abekay2 @thevillagerabbi There will always be plenty of excuses to avoid something you don't want to do.

@IlanBlock King Tut was right there.

Maybe we can play baseball in Warsaw.

Funny things my kids say: "People always make the same face when they hear how long it takes us to get to school."

Doorbell cameras were created to capture funny slip-and-slides.

@bentziavtzon No argument, just clarifying what you mean.

@bentziavtzon Priority and importance mean the same thing to me. Essen farren davenen doesn't mean eating is a priority over davening, even if it has to come first.
