Every time I open a paper or read the news online or watch telly - I am bombarded with things I don't know how to react to anymore. Our local English daily, Gulf Times, is a trustworthy source for obtaining all sorts of news. Today I was treated with a display of Israeli wisdom:
"In a tough break for children of Orthodox Jewish families, a former grand rabbi of Israel has urged parents to maim their dolls to avoid idolatry. Mordechai Eliyahu called for an arm or a leg of a doll to be dismembered. In the case of a teddy bear or other stuffed animals, the children will see their beloved toys lose an ear or an eye instead".
I only hope that parents, no matter how orthodox, will spare their children a trauma of having to witness this!
Oh well, I guess I should stop reading news and writing about all this stuff as some of my readers have pointed out. Apparently, although my posts that deal with politics and religion generate most comments, my friends would much rather read about me than world news. I will do my best! :^)
There are a few things I want to write about and I somehow just can't get to it. Of course there is plenty of tennis stuff... hehe, just kidding! For now, I will let you have a sneak peek at what I am hoping to drive by the end of the year: |
Cool ... tinted windows with luggage rack. Good to go! ;)
