It's that time of year

[magid]

To think about relationships with other people. I hope I've hurt or offended no one this year, but since that's unlikely to be true, please either accept my apology, or email me (the lj one is fine) to let me know how I can make amends.

Speaking personally, while there have been a few puns you might well want to apologize for, overall you've been as good a friend as I could hope for. While no one is without fault, you're ahead of the moral curve in my book. :)

So slug me :-)

I should keep track this year every time some Jewish person wrongs me. That way, next year, I can deliver them with a big list. Really, I always feel slightly guilty for not having something to tell people this time of year.

"July 2nd: you sneezed and I spilled three drops of coffee on my shirt
April 30th: you had a cold and then I had it so I hate you
May 1st: no pole. what good are you?
February 17th: your sled bumped into my sled and I fell off into the snow
December 25th: YOU DIDN'T SAVE ME ANY CHINESE FOOD
November 27th: there were only 50 varieties of pies. my momma always provides at least 86
June 5th: the pasta was too squishy
September, all of it: too many holidays. the nerve!
June 28th: you neglected to celebrate my brother's birthday (so did i)
May 31st: you beat me at boggle
June 1st: failure to apologize for beating me at boggle
August, all of it: too humid
September 23rd: the Red Sox lost
March 4th: you pointed out a weird bird and I tripped while twisting to look and fell into the street and got hit by a car
January 1st: drunken phone calls not such a good idea for you
September 22nd: meatloaf argument"

No guilt necessary. :-)

I think of this as a chance to make sure things are on an even keel with people (or not screwed up, or whatever). If it's not an outstanding issue between us, then it's not a problem. Which is to say, if whatever wrongs have happened in the last year have been worked out or worked around, then huzzah, there's nothing to deal with now. It's a great feeling to start the year with a clean slate, whether it's clean because recently wiped or wiped in previous months...

*grin*

That looks like far more than one year's worth.

And September 23rd was not my fault. Despite that pentagram on the floor and all the bird feathers. Really.

Now, see, I could use just such a list!

You failed to get a joke I was trying to make about fj (who is Dutch) and orange, and it frustrated me ever so slightly since you are such a punster. But I recognize that it was a poor attempt at a joke, so there is no cause for apologies or amends. ;)

Quick question

[spwebdesign.livejournal.com]

Forgive my ignorance: does one wish someone a happy Yom Kippur? What's the protocol?

[bitty.livejournal.com]

yeah, those feathers were leftover from last week's losses to tampa bay.

that doesn't let you off the hook.

In English, people usually say to have an easy fast, or a meaningful fast (or both). In Hebrew, the greeting is g'mar hatima tova, or g'mar tov, which both approximate to may you be sealed with a good decree.

It's so not funny to tease about getting hit by a car. :P You'll jinx yourself and you'll sooooooooooooooo wish you hadn't. Trust me. :)

Thank you, and g'mar tov! :)
