@FrankConniff Our bathroom built in 1960 is the same color pink. Also, I approve this choice!

@DocumentIsrael @chanalesings Thank you! I've been learning the words to this song and other popular ones as I am studying Hebrew. Am Israel Chai!

@SleepWithCelebs @mariabamfoo Oh I forgot to mention my own parking-related crisis! A while back we donated a car, which was sold to someone in Philadelphia who got parking tickets. They thought the car was still mine, and hounded me for weeks.

@SleepWithCelebs @mariabamfoo Thanks very much for this episode! I love sleep podcasts, and I'm a fan of Maria. I was worried I wouldn't get to sleep, but I did, three times that night. And I listened to the rest while awake. All the best as you struggle with parking recovery.

@noraeberman @JoshMalina As a @chutzpod listener, I was very excited to see this in @jdforward email news today! All great places for me to learn more about the wider Jewish culture.

@JessBluemke @katiemacdon @hemantmehta Sorry, one more random recollection about this musical. Our local high school performed it a few years ago. I didn't have any kids in school, but I was so thrilled to just go watch! And Long Island has a lot of show biz kids, so they were good.

@TaraJeanOnline A song from my childhood in Montreal. 😀

@WasTeenage @HeavenBentPod @TaraJeanOnline @TaraJeanOnline since I just finished @HeavenBentPod season 3 I moved on to this interview already on my player.😀As a family genealogist you happen to be connected to another of my life changes in the past few years! My friends at https://t.co/44IODfGir0 are doing good work.

@HeavenBentPod To be clear, this was also a Star Wars reference. 😀Thanks for the podcast!

[Fred Firestine @ffirestine]

@HeavenBentPod thanks for the geekiest episode opening I've heard in a while! I say this as a fan of @alyankovic who was very excited about the 1999 video "The Saga Begins" which was later played at my daughter's wedding, at her request.

@_indoctrination @CheetahHouseOrg Thanks for this conversation and the previous one about mindfulness meditation. I've heard criticism about how this can be practiced in harmful ways, but only as a bullet point in other conversations. I wanted to know why. This is very helpful.

@yourewrongabout Thanks for this episode! I had so many thoughts. One was about my friend who is a young Boomer, with AOL email. I am a few years younger as a Gen X with Gmail. I went back to AOL to see how it is. Ugh. But we've had many conversations. Mine are threaded.

[Fred Firestine @ffirestine]

@Colleen84 Mine too! 😢

@benyamincohen I live on Long Island, near what used to be an Entenmann's bakery and outlet store. It's definitely been part of my life as a resident since the 1980s.

[Fred Firestine @ffirestine]

@benyamincohen Thanks for your memories about a freezer full of baked desserts! I thought I was the only one. 😀It's not all Entenmann's, but over the years the freezer where I store desserts from holidays etc has included some donuts bought on sale.

[Fred Firestine @ffirestine]

It's been that long? I guess I should come here more often as I used to do!

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

@ThatRabbiCohen Would it be possible to discuss the passages where God is angry, and can we call it "The Wrath of Gan?"

[Fred Firestine @ffirestine]

@yourewrongabout listening to your episode about Tom Cruise on Oprah the day after nostalgically listening to “Tom Cruise Crazy” by @jonathancoulton I was very surprised at this coincidence!

[Fred Firestine @ffirestine]

@ThatRabbiCohen Where was this when I was reading the Britannica history of Judaism?
