Okay, I lived most of my childhood in the Bronx. I lived next to a private house which there were Orthodox Jews and a school for the children. I myself have never seen or heard of a Tefillin. I can see how it would raise eyebrows in an airport terminal. I can't imagine having personnel of airlines being trained in all religious cultures and to know what to look for. I don't think this is being insensitive. Perhaps, the members of the young man's community ( rabbi) should have spoken to the religious group in light of everything that is going on and let them know what could happen while wearing this in public, mostly in air travel. This way, people would be better informed and perhaps the young man could have told the person at the ticket counter, what he was wearing and why and word would have been passed along. While no one should be prevented from saying their prayers in a public place, perhaps this all could have been avoided. On another note, concerning Rosary beads, MANY religions use Prayer beads, such as Muslims, Anglicans, Hindus and people of Buddhism or Judaism faiths. Re:http://www.newsfinder.org/site/more/prayer_beads/ Just a tid bit of info.

AMEN!

OMG, Whoa..."Glad to be an American, where at least I know I'm free..." Read the lyrics. Sheeesh

I read on the internet about Doctors Without Borders. It did mention most of their stuff was destroyed. They're expecting back up's with tents to do surgery, treat patients, have medical supplies and water there. Great we have these kinds of people to help out. We( the U.S.)also have several ships going there as well and should arrive tomorrow. Let's not forget these people and of course their families over here! "

Nice to hear that. Such a huge, sad event, to happen to a place that suffers enough. Glad to hear that the U.S and others are helping!

I don't believe it. That's really crazy! Gonna be a "hot issue" for sure. LOL

Wow, I'd love to copy this, may I?

Okay, I need someone who knows about this sort of thing. I have cablevision in my house ( several hookups.) I let someone in the house have Optonline, no phone...just the normal cableservice, they hooked up the wire etc, that cablevision gave them. I am on another level and want to get the same thing instead of dialup. I was told I could get my own router and some how or another hook it up so I can get high speed internet access. Question...What exactly do I buy and where from(radio shack?) and...how do I begin to hook this up? I was told a wireless router, but can we still be on the different computers at the same time? Again, we are not using their phone service, just the cable t.v. end of it. Anyone know what to do????? Thanks :-)

Yeah we have the cable modem downstairs. That computer has had Optonline for a couple of years. I am upstairs and want to put my AOL dialup, on the antique shelf. It takes forever to do anything. Thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

I go to .com and then float around to just about anything. I'm happy with the way things are. Maybe facelift a little, but it's okay the way it is.

A prayer for you and family.

That's very kind of you! It's nice to also note, that while many of the service people on board were in their twenties, many had asked to be stationed aboard the ship (is stationed the right word?) because they are(were) from N.Y. I wish you well in a very nice tribute that you have undertaken. Good luck. :rolleyes

Okay, while I am not poking fun.. I just find it interesting on the locaton of the restaurant. The Deli is White Plains, One service station is Eastview,the other White Plains. The restaurant is in Elmsford, the pizza place is in White Plains. The bank is in White Plains. I am trying to find out where I am... All kidding aside, I couldn't go, but hey, who says you can't be in two places at one time? Happy holidays!

LOL, never known as Valhalla. It's White Plains. It's been said it's Greenburg. FYI. Supposed to be nice, though.

Well, for a plain Jane like me, I am retired and have a Boost Mobile pay as you go. I've never had any problems with the phone or service. No contract, no bills, just "pay as you go." I've used it out of state as far as six hours away, with no problems. Nothing fancy, no whistles or bells, but good to travel with and easy to re-up for more time. Of course, I am just an old tuna, in a sea of big fish LOL.

If any of you go hunting...you know that the hunting licenses have gone up as well. To raise revenue. Senior citizen licenses are now for ages 70 and older. A senior is not a senior unless they are 70 years old to go hunting in NY. All of the hunting requirements, prices have changed as well. Are there a lot of seniors age 70 who go hunting? I think this license plate thingy is still being thought about. Anybody for getting a bicycle? OMG

Thousands signed an online petition at http://www.nonewplates.com to protest the plan. Democratic and Republican leaders of the Assembly say they will work to repeal the measure passed in April. Many media reports say many things. I think it's gonna be a squash! They are soooo very ugly...Like the ones back in the '50's...many, many moons ago LOL.

Thanks so much for the information. Now, if I could only find somewhere that is giving the regular flu shot. The Board of Health cancelled many of the places, including two senior centers in Mt. Pleasant. Sheesh

Just a tid bit of info. People with supressed immune systems should get the shot. I read on the internet, that they should NOT get the LIVE vaccine of H1N1. Trying to figure out how anybody would know if it's a live vaccine? Tuna

Yeah, one good guy. I understand the woman was in the opposite direction than what he was going, and he crossed over the lanes of traffic to go to her aid. A true HERO! Way to go YANKEES!

Good for you! for answering that post!! That was a very disturbing post to say the least.

Sheesh, what a post :-(

Has to be Psycho, Halloween, The Birds and many of Alfred H's movies. Chucky was a really scarey one and let's not forget The Exorcist. That one blew my mind. Happy Halloween!
