Wow! Incredible workmanship - but what a horrible color! Very few people could wear this yellowed green color effectively! It will look great on those with a sallow or an olive complexion, but anyone with pink skin would look like death-warmed-over wearing this color!

"If you earned 5000 dollars an hour, 24 hours a day, from when the pyramids in Egypt were constructed until today, the world's richest man would still have more money than you."

But you would probably have more common sense ...

Gotta give your boys some room to breathe!

Pants are more practical for female anatomy while skirts and dresses are better suited for male anatomoy, yet we insist on the reverse.

Unopenable Jar of Gefilte Fish!

Could Not - COULD NOT - get my jar of Mrs. Adler's 'Jerusalem Style' (sweet) Gefilte Fish to open! I am a senior and have arthritic hands and fingers and the damn top WOULD NOT come off! I ran it under hot water, poured boiling water over the top - I even put the jar top upside down in an inch of water and got it boiling - NOTHING! Oddly, the metal top has indentations to help you grip it, but the smooth jar does not! {Needs a re-design, Manischewitz!}

I finally had to resort to drilling a hole into the metal top to break the seal! Even that did not work right away, but I was able to get the top off and pour the contents into an easy-open plastic container and toss the jar & wounded top away! I hope I do not have metal shrapnel in my gefilte fish!

There has got to be a better way!

A blessed Passover to all my Jewish followers! May Your Jars of Gefilte Fish Ever Open! L'Chaim!

Jewish festival, but possibly not Passover. Almost all the men are wearing some kind of a fez. A Blessed Passover to all my Jewish followers.

Yes, rhinestones and all, this is a real Shriner's Fez. Inside is embroidered the name of the man who wore it once upon a time.

No - I am not a Mason or a Shriner. But I do have a collection of headwear. The tassel {which is 17 inches long!} weighs more than the rest of the fez! 'Ballut Abyad' is 'White Oak' in Arabic, and this particular Shrine is in New Mexico. I purchased it off eBay.
