I Urged a Boycott of My Cousin Matt Turner (mjturner916), So To Be Fair...

I'm going to urge a boycott of another cousin: fashion designer Marcela J. Danilowicz. The following conversation and explanatory posts will underscore why:

Marcela J. Danilowicz

Hi you need to delete my name from all of the posts you made on urban dictionary, I cannot have anything like that on the Internet because of work, please do it now or I will contact urban dictionary and my lawyer.

 

Nicole Czarnecki

There's no way that I can delete those posts-- I tried to, but I can't. I, with all due respect, see no reason to contact your lawyer. However, I can see reasons for you to contact Urban Dictionary.

Thank you for letting me know about the consequences of the posts ahead of time before any adverse action was taken.

 

Marcela J. Danilowicz

Why did you write these posts. You are fucking psycho.

22 hours ago

Nicole Czarnecki

If you feel that way, then you shouldn't have added me as a friend or acknowledged me as a relative in the first. Also, everything that I wrote is true to the best of my knowledge.

There is no lie whatsoever in the Urban Dictionary posts, which read as follows...

Never mind. She did contact Urban Dictionary. If she contacts her lawyer, I myself will contact a lawyer in turn and work to have those Urban Dictionary posts reinstated. She has no legitimate case, and no legitimacy shall be given to her. I simply explained the etymology and history of Danilowicz, of Czarnecki (Chernetski), and of my family history in connection to those two-- in which she was mentioned as an aspiring fashion designer and a relative of mine.

As hard as boycotting and encouraging boycotts of family members is; immoral, unethical, and otherwise-inappropriate behavior will and should not be encouraged by me, or encouraged by anyone else. Boycotting mjturner916 and Marcela J. Danilowicz as, respectively, a musician and a designer will show that the public (including family members) will not tolerate or accept immoral, unethical, and otherwise-inappropriate-- including unjust-- treatment of family members or others by professionals in any field, including music and fashion design.

I Hope That My Relatives Who Hate Me, Particularly the One Who Called Me a "F---ing Psycho"....

Are reading this. Some of you I know are no better better than Dad, Pop-Pop, Grandma, Great-Grandma Gaydos, etc.; so you'll be who you'll be, and I can't change that. Some of you have been affected by Dad and the others who hate me, are just plain hateful, etc., to hate me and/or even turn on me and hate me. Some of you know that I'm not "f---ing psycho" and/or have been called "f---ing psycho"s yourselves by Dad and/or his ilk, and/or those who have been affected by his ilk.

Some of you are reading my blog and perhaps even meeting me for the first time, even if you're meeting me only online: so for you, I'm setting the record straight. I'm not "f---ing psycho"; I experienced firsthand much of the tsuris un meshugas in di mispoche, and their attitude is going to change when I'm famous or the Rapture comes: watch-- then they'll want to be associated with me.

That's the kind of people that Dad and his ilk are: they are into worldliness and image. They covered up Great-Grandma Gaydos' avodah koferah, Pop-Pop's murder of Great-Grandma Czarnecki, and a whole bunch of other things. They act like life's perfect and that we're a happy, dandy family who doesn't have the dark past that we have in many respects-- beginning from being sat shiva for (which is not something that any Jew ever wants to happen to them-- no Jew likes rejection for even pretending to believe in Jesus to save his or her life; and in our family, we were sat shiva for) during the pogroms and other times when many of us officially became Anusim (which many of them, like Dad and Pop-Pop, are to this day. Many of us-- that is, not of Dad and Pop-Pop's ilk-- are open about our Jewish heritage which I discovered in ways that shocked even me, like seeing "Danilowicz" on the death certificate of Great-Great-Granddad Julian Czarnecki ne Chernetski).

Who in this meshuga olam wants to admit that he or she is a Jew if he or she wants to save his or her own tuchus, right? And that's where much of everything else proceeds from-- that is, hiding our Jewish heritage and our being sat shiva for, for doing so. For example, by hiding our Jewish heritage, Great-Grandma had an excuse to ignore Vilmosz's et. al.s' pleas for help-- why would a gentile have to help a Jew, which is why she pretended to be a gentile here and not let even her desparately-needing-help-to-make-aliyah relatives (so to speak) blow her cover.

By hiding our Jewish heritage and being sat shiva for, the schicker Julian Chernetski and his meshugene vayb were going to figure out how to cope and live as Anusim in Sugar Notch, PA-- where some other Anusi mispoche were. That meant hiding not just the Yidishkeit, but everything-- abuse in the family, Julian's being farshikert, etc.

As I said, I hope that my relatives who hate me, particularly the one who called me a "f---ing psycho", are reading this: I want to set the record straight.

Some of How People Find My Blog Is Going To Kill Me....

Some of the search results are crazy. "Getdentalimplantsinfo.com"? What is that? Also, that one felonous search which I-- not the felon-- got blamed for. As I've said, I don't want people to find or view my blog because of felonous or other illegal, immoral, or inappropriate things-- such as spam like "Getdentalimplantsinfo.com".

And if you want to get dental implants, go to legitimate, legal, moral, and appropriate-- e.g., American Dental Association (ADA)-made-or-approved-- sites, or talk to your dentist or doctor. I'm for legal, moral, and appropriate uses of the internet and freedom-- like searching for information on dental implants that the ADA would hope for the finding of.

By the way, here's a legitimate link to information about dental implants: http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/dental-implants

My Enemies Include Even Many In My Family And Hate Me Now

"The poor man is hated even by his own neighbor, But the rich has many friends." (Proverbs 14:20) Sad but true, as I've come to learn. If I were rich, famous, and/or not disabled, and rich in worldliness; even many in my own family would not despise me as they do. Were The Rapture to come and I'd not be left behind, those of my enemies who were left behind would have nothing to say against me. " Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O LORD—how long? Return, O LORD, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies’ sake!" (Psalm 6:2-4)

People Think That I'm Psycho Now, But Wait Until I'm Famous Or the Rapture Comes...

Then quite a bit, but not everything, that I've said will be proven to be true-- some more true than I even thought. What I say, I can back up with evidence-- even if it's circumstanial evidence. For example, until my aunt told me what happened re Great-Grandma Czarnecki, I had no reason to believe that Pop-Pop fully intended to rid of Great-Grandma and make her death in a hospital in which she didn't want to be as painful as possible. Until I saw the records on Yad Vashem, I didn't know that relatives writing to Great-Grandma Gaydos for money meant that they were asking for help to get out of Europe and make aliyah lest they'd be murdered-- which many of them were. Until I saw that Great-Great-Granddad Czarnecki's mother was a Danilowicz, I wasn't sure that we are Jewish.

How many more examples must I give? I'm not perfect, but I try not to say baseless and harmful things-- even if those things hurt. I don't like being the relative of a maternicidal son who was ungrateful to the very mother of whom he intended to get rid. I don't like being the great-granddaughter of, essentially, an American kapo. I didn't go out seeking these things to hurt anybody-- in fact, I didn't ever expect Great-Grandma Gaydos to be a kapo, for example. I'd always heard that she was a quiet, sweet, perhaps-even-a-little-oblivious woman.

And if what I say isn't proven but not disproven, either; at least when I'm famous or the Rapture comes, then my critics and detractors-- who intend me no good-- will shut their mouths because they won't have anything to say-- or at least the hutzpah to say it. I'll have more clout than them or I'll be gone by then-- and many of them will be left behind.

What Is With Everyone Suing and Prosecuting Everyone Nowadays?

For example, Dr. Conrad Murray-- who should've lost his license but not been prosecuted. What; are my family going to be prosecuted for my aunt Mary Carole's death in 2008 when she decided not to take her insulin that day and was a determined alcoholic, anyway? We couldn't have done anything about her. And Justin Bieber-- honestly, don't sue the woman. Besides, you, Mr. Bieber, pulled a Herman Cain-- responded to legitimate allegations too late and amatuerly.

Save the prosecution for those like my granddad who ought to be prosecuted for the 2007 malice-murder-intent scenario and Social Security fraud regarding my great-grandmother Mary Trudnak Czarnecki. Save the suing for real discrimination, theft, and other lawsuit-worthy cases. Don't be frivolous or unjust in suing or prosecuting. The Criminal Justice and Corrections System in America is clogged up enough. Also-- as with Mr. Bieber--, why not resolve matters as soon as possible instead of a long time later if you have nothing to hide and something legitimate to contend?

Besides, 1 Corinthians 6 reads in part:

 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? ² Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? ⁴ If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? ⁵ I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? ⁶ But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!
⁷ Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? ⁸ No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren! ⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,^[a] nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

So I Get Blamed For What That Felonous Croatian Did...

Well in order to report him as a felon you need to figure out a few things first.

1. He probably found your blog because he was searching for [an illicit item].

Having titles in your blog such as http://thenicolefactor.blogspot.com/2011/10/im-not-abdl-but-i-dont-see-infantilism.html which of course does discuss [part of what he searched for] is going to show up in search results. Now granted you have to dig pretty deep on google to find it as you are not high up on the search results but rule number 1 of not showing up on search results for infantophila is to not blog about [part of what he searched for].

2. He may in fact be a troll. There are trolls on the internet who just like to annoy people and nothing gets people madder than a [n illicit] reference.

3. If you do wish to report him you first need to figure out what country he lives in. Perhaps corresponding with this person might get you some more details. Of course never forget rule 29 of the internet. There are no women on the internet and all kids are FBI agents. So talking to him might actually get you into trouble.

My best advice is to block this user. Any sensible pedo knows to hide behind a dozen proxxys and you would never find him anyway

All I was saying was that infantilism (which is what ABDLs have) and [what he searched for in an illicit way]  are not the same. Also, I just feel like reporting the guy, not talking to him; and I don't know how to block him.

Edit

You claim the searcher is a felon. How do you know he is a felon? After all, it might be a search performed by a police officer who is part of an International police effort searching for [guys like this Croatian felon].

You state on your blog that the search was illegal. Under what statutes of Croatian law would that be?

And the term appears on your website, in an article, so I am somewhat bemused as to the point you are trying to make. Else the search would not have steered the searcher to your site.

Well it turns out according to this thread I found http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=64dddc884aa057de&hl=en

That there really is no way to block someone on blogger. Which is odd because just about every other social networking site that Google has offers this. I did find this old tutorial which shows you how to block someone if they decide to follow your blog http://www.wchingya.com/2009/05/how-to-block-blogger-followers.html

However it appears that tutorial is outdated. As I can't replicate the steps outlined. If I ever do find a way to block someone I will let you know.

Searching the term which I mentioned is a violation of international law, not just Croatian or American law.

As I said, personal responsibility has been kaputed out of the window. I get chauvinistically blamed for talking about a subject that needs to be talked about in order to help ABDLs and others, and the felonous Croatian gets away with violating international law.

Leave Conrad Murray Alone!

I agree with those who say that Michael Jackson was a drug addict who'd've obtained drugs anyhow and killed himself with them. If Conrad Murray said "No", Michael Jackson'd've found someone else who'd've said "Yes". Severely-addicted people-- especially celebrity or other money-and/or-power-endowed addicts-- work like that.

We've lost such a sense of personal responsibility in this culture, just like the high-school-aged young men and the professor with whom they had sexual intercourse. Instead of suing everybody for everything from statutory "rape" to drug-addiction-affected death, take personal responsibility. As I've said, the time for personal responsibility has come and recome: blame yourself if you give yourself away to your high school professor, drugs, or who- or what-ever else.

I Look At My Blogger Stats, and I Note and Report Anything That Needs To Be Reported

This Croatian thinks that I'm kidding. He's done the inappropriate, illegal, and immoral search twice; and I've thus alerted Google twice. On this blog, there'll be nothing inapproriate, illegal, and immoral. As I said, I won't specify what this idiot searched for due to its inapproriate, illegal, and immoral nature. I also won't give this idiot the attention that he may be looking for.

The point is that I do check my Blogger stats and note anything that needs to reported, and I report whatever needs to be reported. No inapproriate, illegal, and immoral activity will be perpetrated, encouraged, or enabled by me or on this blog.

Please, Someone, Track Down That Idiot Who's Doing The Illegal Search...

He's from Croatia, and has done the illegal search twice from Google Croatia (or, I can't believe that I'm retyping this, google.hr). I'm still shaken (not in a good way) by the fact that someone found my blog via an illegal, inappropriate, and immoral search.

Let Me Make Clear That I Do Not Endorse Illegal and Inappropriate Activity

Some idiot from Croatia found my blog via an illegal and inappropriate search. I won't specify what the search was other than that it was an illegal and inappropriate search. If you've found this blog through an illegal and inappropriate search as well, do not read or view this blog or its posts any further-- you will be reported to Google, which owns Blogger and Blogspot. The idiot from Croatia has already been reported.

I Was Scarily Right...

"If John McCain or some other sensible Republican doesn't win, don't complain to me when the United States of America becomes the American Communist League of Uncouthness."

I voted for McCain and Palin. And this time, I'm voting for the seemingly-Evangelical Mormon Romney. Meanwhile, what does happen if Rudy W. Giuliani gets into the 2012 race?

I Should Look Back At My Old Posts More And...

I should see who, how, what, and where I've been; and why I've been who, how, what, and where I've been. I see that quite a few people read my older posts, and maybe I should start rereading them-- reading them again for the first time (and not like Marcus Borg suggests doing with the Bible, either. I hope that every day, Dr. Weiss and others will remember and know that I've not forgotten that drek called Reading the Bible Again For the First Time).

By the way, Dr. Weiss; when you do affront the Word of G-d, you affront the Jewish people. And you and Sister Eileen, and the others, don't scare me one bit now that I look back. The more I've grown in understanding the Word of G-d, the more I've grown in understanding my Jewish heritage, or visa versa. I don't need your or the rest of Notre Dame's Anti Semitism to affirm or deny the Bible for me: in fact, the more that you deny the Bible, the more that students and former students like me will only affirm the Bible.

PS The only "ancient peasant rebellion"-- which the Exodus was not; and the only "ancient peasant rebellion"-- going on is the one in your hearts, the same one that your lowly and fallen fathers-- Adam and the Devil-- committed when they said that G-d's word was not his word and fell from their exalted places--Adam when he partook with Eve and fell from the glory which he had in the garden, and the Devil fallen from being the archangel known as Lucifer. "Those who are first will be last, and those who are last will be first"; so your doctorates in the Vatican and other degrees help youu not. 

My Relatives Are Gonna Start Wanting To Associate With Me More If...

I ever become rich and famous. I guarantee that if I ever become rich and famous, they'll funnily (so to speak) come out of the woodwork and admit or tell that they're related to me. Even the ones who hate me and would even like to see me dead or fumigated out of their and our common genepools will share or introduce themselves as distant cousins, grandaunts, uncles, etc..

How people (especially your own family, distant and closer) want you more when your rich and famous is funny-- that is, strange. Not shocking, not unusual, but strange-- and it says a lot about human nature and behavior.

I Guarantee That Some Relatives Are Reading This Blog And Not Coming Forward And/Or Introducing Themselves

I know that my dad and others read this (Hey, Dad; I'm not going to retract that Pop-Pop's a murderer just because you refuse to give me copies of the family pictures. And I know that Social Security law stipulates that regardless, you always put the address of the beneficiaree-- not the POA, the exectutor of the will, or anyone else. And Aunt Mary told me the facts of the case; I put them together and came up with second-degree murder with murder-malice theory and Social Security fraud-- which, by the way, is how I knew that he intended to get rid of Great-Grandma Czarnecki and make her death as painful as possible.

(Also, not thanks for not telling me that Great-Grandaunt Helen died in 2008, which I found out a way while back through the internet. I'd like to know who else has died and you haven't told me. I know that some Gaydos cousins and others have.).

As for the relatives who I haven't met yet, Shabbat Shalom v'Shalom. I'm sorry that our side of the family is particularly meshuga, and I deeply apologize to the Rusznyaks for Mary Rusnak Gaydos and Janet Rozzi. If Great-Grandma Gaydos could've been tried at Nuremburg for refusing to write back to Vilmosz et. al., let me know: Fredi, Sandor, Miklosz, and the other Rusznyaks who were murdered did not deserve to die like that, nor did Tibor deserve to feel that guilt for surviving. They all should've been able to make aliyah to Tel Aviv and other cities with our help and unscathed, or at least been able to come here like Tibor did-- even if they never talked to us, like Tibor understandably did not because of Great-Grandma Gaydos' actions toward your side of the family.

If you want to meet me or introduce yourself or come forward, e-mail me. I'm willing to talk.

Even Though I Want To Find the One, I Want To Be Sure That I've Found the One

Of course, I can't fast and pray like the comedian Nazareth did-- I have medication issues. And I can't stalk someone to the bathroom and claim that the urge to stalk him was from the Holy Spirit like Michael W. Smith claimed that stalking Deborah was a call from G-d. I also can't go on Match.com, Chemistry.com, E-Harmony.com, whatever-else-.com:

"1 Corinthians 7:26-28

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁶ I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress—that it is good for a man to remain as he is: ²⁷ Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife. ²⁸ But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you."

Besides, I have Cerebral Palsy, OCD/Anxiety, Depression, and possible Aspberger's-- I need someone to provide and care for me. But I can't go out of my way to deliberately seek a spouse or fast like the comedian Nazareth-- or stalk someone like Michael W. Smith and claim that the stalking is from G-d. 

Here's the Hat (Among Other Things) Which Dr. Weiss Mocked Me Over, and Hair Thinning in the Family

L to R: Great-Great-Grandma Anna Monkaova Trudniak, Great-Great-Granddad Trudniak with the Trudniak (Trudnak) boys, Great-Grandma in the middle of the picture, Great-Great-Grandma with a much-younger Great-Grandma.

Who do you believe that the hair thinning came from?

What If We Have To Wait Another 400-430 Years? But No Other Generation Saw Israel Reborn...

To watch the world and those in it in the states that they are in (Try saying that a few times. But in all seriousness, watching the world's and the Church's states) is depressing. Parsha Lekh L'kha gives a scary idea:

Genesis 15:12-16

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹² Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. ¹³ Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. ¹⁴ And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. ¹⁵ Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. ¹⁶ But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

Following up on that is an excerpt from Shemot:

Exodus 12:39-41

New King James Version (NKJV)

³⁹ And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.
⁴⁰ Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt^[a]was four hundred and thirty years. ⁴¹ And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

So there were only 30 years of freedom in Mitzrayim:

Exodus 1:5-10

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁵ All those who were descendants^[a] of Jacob were seventy^[b] persons (for Joseph was in Egypt already). ⁶ And Joseph died, all his brothers, and all that generation. ⁷ But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
⁸ Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. ⁹ And he said to his people, “Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we; ¹⁰ come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land.”


And there are roughly 10 of 30 weeks of years (300 years) before Hell breaks loose: 1517, the Reformation officially begins; 1815, the Congress of Vienna and the first one-world government. But also, 1517-1917 (The U.S. officially enters WWI.) or 1492-1892 (The Inquisition begins, then the Ellis Island Era begins.). WWI broke out on July 28, 1914, and then the Great Depression began on October 24 ("Black Thursday"), 1929.

 In between those times, Prorto Zionism and Zionism begin, really kicking off in the 1850s (when Messianic Judaism is first officially recognized, according to Dr. David Stern and others) to the 1900s (And actually, Herzl enters the scene in or after 1892 re the Dreyfus Affair.).

No other generation before the 1850s-1950s, and especially the 1890s-1940s, saw the refounding-- the teshuvah v'aliyah-- of Israel. And since there were 400 years between Yeshua and the last of the Nevi'im before Yeshua; you'd think that 1517-1917 (or even 1518-1918, October 31, 1518 - November 11, 1918; if you want to count the First Anniversary of the Reformation to Armistice Day) or 1492-1892 would be painfully enough.

But Yehezkel 38 re Persia is getting ready to happen any day (It's happened with Put v'Kush.), and yet still no Rapture. Do you see why I get depressed in part now?

I Should Definitely Blog About the Addictions Thing, Meanwhile...

I won't elaborate on the inappropriate sexual thoughts here, since some of them could get me further shunned and for the fact that there may be children or teenagers reading this blog (as if teenagers don't have sexual thoughts... but I still want to be a good example for the younger adults and legally-considered-to-be children. I'm well into being a bat mitzvah-- some of these young a just became bnei v'banot mitzvah.).

As for the other addictions, they can be read about on my Twitter (@Nickidewbear) and heard about in a YouTube video which should have led some of you here. I'll blog more b'haboker (and blogging daily or almost daily is a commitment, one which can partly affect one to be worn out). L'Laila v'L'Erev Shabbat Tovim.

If You Can't Handle the Job, Go Find Another One Or Leave the Workforce

Why Saforra Khan had to make a haaj on school time brings back to mind the incident with the haredit police officer from Crown Heights that Shmarya covered. Even though Bill O'Reilly did get into a little mocking, he was understandably frustrated with that mache Megyn Kelly (and she wasn't a mache in a good way). Bill O'Reilly understands that Jews can't just make aliyah or chagag and expect everyone else to be goyim l'Shabbat (or Shabbos goyim); and others can't just return or make pilgrimages to Rome, Loudres (which Bill mentioned as an example), Istanbul, Athens, Deseret, Salt Lake City, or wherever else.

Saffora Khan should've been given a pink slip and looked for a Mohamedian school at which to teach and be accomadated: they would've encouraged and even sponsored her to make a haaj.

Maybe I Need To Blogpost About My Facebook Page... And Printscreen...

As I said, re my Facebook page and printscreens of it:

So I Was Reading Parsha Lekh L'kha, And Then I Noticed This...

And here are two pictures of it, in reverse order (I think.).

Speaking of Great-Grandma Czarnecki And En El Primero de Novembre de 2011...

Y en el Dia de Los Muertos 2011, I think of and remember Great-Grandma Czarnecki. I think of the woman who was my great-grandma and who I took for granted all those times that we visited her at Apartment 214, 10 E South Street in Wilkes Barre. I think of the woman whose history I never knew or took time to knew-- so she's Pop-Pop's mom, Great-Granddad's widow, the one who's Lithuanian (I assumed from what I was told.). I think of the woman whose life came to a cold, callous end in a hospital with its possessor's leg amputated and with a murder-malice-intenting son who committed Social Security in it.

I think of the good Jewish Evagelical Catholic mother and wife, aunt and sister, and daughter who I've learned so much about since she's been gone-- the daughter of a gentile Trudniak and Jewish Catholic Monkaova of Kacwin and Lapsze Nizne, Poland (both then in Slovakian Austria Hungary), the mother (and grandmother and great-grandmother) of Jews herself ("And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”"; "and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;"-- and if she didn't know, she'd at least be tickled to know that her seed and her mother's seed are also descendants of at least many of the nations of the earth); the wife, aunt, grandaunt, great-grandaunt, and otherwise a relative of a diverse Jewish family

(e.g., I don't think that she'd care anymore that her son Tony's wife is Irish-- she didn't like that Grandaunt Mary Ellen is Irish. Maybe she wanted, but just never said that she wanted, Granduncle Tony to marry a good Jewish girl-- particularly an Ashkenazic Jewish Catholic girl, Anusit or open about her Jewishness-- and not make the same mistake that she did and marry a meshugener, who would've been a meshugene in Granduncle Tony's case. V'chalilah when Pop-Pop married Grandma-- she did not like her. She even cut her out of a picture and replaced her with a Christmas tree.).

And looking back on all I've learned and all that I saw for myself, especially in a Jewish context; I see an elter-bubbie for whom I will pursue tzedek-- "Tzedek, tzedek, tirdof."-- and let her son learn that of all things that he's done, (so to speak) stepping all over his good Jewish Christian mama is one thing with which he will not get away.


I am a Monkaova Trudniak, no question.

A day-to-day and pray-to-pray thing. Having Diplegic Spastia Cerebral Palsy plus OCD/Anxiety/Depression and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (and the BRCA1 gene), plus being a "mamzerah" Jewish American in a culture and in communities that don't accept Jews-- especially Messianic Jews-- is hard. Add having an imperfect-- e.g., covetous, adulterous, faithless, hopeless, hypocritical-- human nature to all that, and you've got a situation where a day-to-day, pray-to-pray thing is needed. Also, I'm still living with Great-Grandma Gaydos' avodah koferah (If you think that we have Vilmosz's et. al.'s blood removed from our hands-- although Vilmosz and others did survive-- you're meshuga: you don't understand what guilt down to the third and fourth generations is). And I'm living with Great-Grandma Czarnecki's blood because of Pop-Pop's avoda kofer and how he is left unprosecuted after almost five years.

So as a disabled, trying-to-figure-out-my-identity-as-a-Jew Jew and Jewish-American Christian with more than just Cerebral Palsy and meshuges un tsuris in di mispoche to deal with; I have a long, painful way and road to go-- though prayers have been answered so far, even if (over the years) not always in ways in which I'd've liked them to be answered.

Piano Lessons (And Calling Myself To the Carpet Is A Process)

In piano lessons today and during other times, I realize that I freak out and am not as focued as I should be on the music. Per my OCD/Anxiety/Depression and possible Aspberger's-- and non-medicated AD(H)D--, I can't stay as fully focused. I think about getting through practice as quickly as possible, or at least trying to, and being like the others who can (so to speak) churn out something like Bach's "Prelude in A Minor" in a minute or two (I can't play as fastly because of my Cerebral Palsy.). I worry about what other people will think, even if and though they're not in the practice room. For example, on the cover of the "American Soldier" sheet music is a picture of Toby Keith-- it's almost or somewhat like Toby is there and watching me-- and what would he think? (As I said, calling myself to the carpet, including sharing my weirder thoughts, is a process.)

And I don't practice as much as I should. Due to OCD, etc. and escapism, etc.; I just don't practice as much as I should-- I practice in small spurts, too-small spurts. And during my spurts, I often have the computer in my room by me. And as I said,  I think about getting through practice as quickly as possible, or at least trying to, and being like the others who can (so to speak) churn out something like Bach's "Prelude in A Minor" in a minute or two-- and get to their computers and go on Facebook or whatever.

I'll, unless by some miracle, never be Mozart, Beethoven, or Sallieri.

How Jews Can Celebrate the Day of the Dead-- Exclusively-Shared Political Cartoon

This isn't what his grave looks like, by the way. It's just a Jewish-Hispanic representation. He was an Anusi Ashkenazi Yehudi who was born in the Diaspora in Tsuman, Ukraine (then Cuman, Wolyn, Ukraina, Rusia). His birth name is unknown, and his shem l'mikveh katoli was Antoni Jan Julianowicz Czerniecki (Czarniecki).  

As I Said, I Do Not Sugarcoat and Am Calling Myself To the Carpet, Even If I Get Shunned...

And you know, people like me when I didn't sugarcoat the first time-- when, for example, I talked about what I knew about my family history (which keeps slowly and shockingly unfolding before me-- now if only either the Rapture, some crisis that'll make Dad or Pop-Pop or someone else confess what he, or she, knows; or the AG and Luzerne County DA hurry up and prosecute Pop-Pop. Once the Jack Czarnecki that either everyone dreads and dislikes or fears and likes moves out of the way, someone will talk-- and he brought his own downfall by committing Social Security fraud and murder-malice action).

Incidentally, this reminds me that Great-Great-Granddad Rusnak was born today in 1877 (P'rushi Cheshvan 25, 5638). Hopefully, he wasn't an SOB like his kapo daughter was a Holocaust enabler and his grandson-in-law was a murderer (and as I said, I still have to say that Great-Grandma Czarnecki still doesn't have justice nearly five years later-- nor does the family who Pop-Pop and others hid a lot from and caused a lot of pain to).

In this lifetime, I won't get over what quite a few in my family did in a lot of ways-- and that's why I call them out. And that's why I call myself out: I don't want to be like them. I want to be honest about the imperfect and hypocritical human being that I am with imperfect and many hypocritical or hypocrisy-tainted thoughts, reservations, intentions, etc.

I told you (and G-d) about quite a bit of what was on my heart and in my mind; and there's a lot more for which I would and will get shunned-- besides for being disabled, of course; but being disabled plus all that will get me shunned more.

And I don't (or at least I try not to) hide that I'm probably in a lot of trouble for being human, and I might get hurt for being human and being honest about being human. But so what? As I said about Mitt Romney versus Hermain Cain, "I'd rather have a self-admitted-imperfect candidate like Mitt Romney than any seemingly-too-good-to-be-true person on the Presidential ticket any day"-- which means that in any given situation, I'd rather have a self-admitted-imperfect person than any seemingly-too-good-to-be-true person any day.

People, I'm Realistic; I'm Not Just a Disabled Depressive Who's a Pessimist

And it ain't just what I described in the video. Oh, I've read the horror stories-- e.g., one non-disabled girl was laughed at and ignored by boys in her church because of her breast size. Also, the actress from "Facts of Life" (I stand corrected for saying "Different Strokes")-- her story didn't end like J.R. Martinez's did, and she was born with a disability: she couldn't have gone and served, let alone bravely gotten injured, in the military if she wanted to.

I appreciate and value who I am in the eyes of even the Church and G-d, or else I wouldn't be honest about it: I'd pretend that everything's going to be okay, and that everything work out like it does for a typical person or even for Cinderella. As I said, I wouldn't be honest about who I am if I didn't value and appreciate it; and valuing and appreciating it means accepting it and accepting the reality of it, and accepting the reality (even the cold, bitter reality) that it brings and has brought.

If I Were Tiki Barber, I'd Go Home And Seek Forgiveness and Reconciliation...

Tiki Barber can hopefully come to his senses and realize that a for-the-time-being ex-wife and children at home is enough. Sure Traci Johnson may get hurt, but who was hurt first? A college sweetheart and pregnant wife with two other kids to raise as well. Tiki Barber can come home to Ginny Cha, beg forgiveness for his affair, beg forgiveness of Traci Johnson and wish her the best, and try to reconcile with Ginny Cha and the Cha-Barber kids.

Or maybe Ginny Cha won't take him back, figuring "He Ain't Worth Missing", but a try while there's still time is worth a try.

I'm Probably In Big Trouble For Some of My Confessions...

I know that I should be thankful for some things (After all, that was a heck of a blog prayer to write.), but now I'm probably (maybe I'm freaking out,  probably) for the worst being followed on Twitter by Geraldo Rivera's producer-- I'm probably being watched like a hawk watches a mouse or a bear watches whoever goes after its young.

This is why I surprisingly, for wanting to bring so much to light, don't confess a lot of my own thoughts, reservations, etc.-- if and when I do, I usually get shunned or in trouble for them as though I'm worse than anyone else. I admit that I'm imperfect, which is part of why I fight to have a moral compass-- having one makes easier that a brother or sister (or other fellow human being) should not be affected or effected to stumble. But I normally don't confess things lest I get shunned for them-- and I normally do.

If I Were To Write A Quick Blog Prayer To G-d, Well...

Let me for once have a break. Sure, I've had blessings; and I'm not asking for my thorns in the flesh to be taken away-- in fact, I've dreaded what'll happen if you do. You'll make me give up politics and go into math and science, for example; because then I won't have CP and OCD and be physically healed and able to go into math and science. In fact, you didn't take Paul's thorns in the flesh away-- or Nick Vujvicic's. Let me at least manage my OCD, etc. for once.


I could go on and on, but this is why I don't pray a lot-- not long prayers, anyway. Besides, you can read my thoughts; and you have answered my prayers, and many not always in a way which I've liked or prayed for.

A Scary Realization About My Own Life-- At This Rate, It Might Not End Well Either Way

This is not a Halloween joke or Halloween scary story-- though incidentally, October 31-November 1, 1877 is the Gregorian equivalent of the Holocaust enabler (Great-Grandma Gaydos)'s dad's birthday (The P'rushi date was Cheshvan 25, 5638.). On that same-- the Holocaust enabler's-- side, I come from a great-great-great-granddad (Istvan Foczko) and with at least two great-granduncles (Andras "Alexander" and Ferencz "Frank, Sr.") who all committed suicide. Then I have Great-Granddad Czarnecki, and who the hell knows if the "sudden fall of rock" that killed Great-Great-Granddad Czarnecki wasn't a deliberate suicide attempt? (My friend may have a point-- that it wasn't just an accident? And Great-Great-Granddad was an Anusi and schicker with a meshugene vayb who obviously didn't pass Yidish or Yidishkeit down to her grandchildren and their grandchildren, either; but had no problem causing her son's Yidishe froyen-- e.g., Teresa nee Makaczyk and Mary M. nee Trudniak-- tsuris, because they apparently weren't Yidishe or Anusit enough for her. )

I guess that I gave enough examples as to why my life is careening toward suicide as alternative one-- couple the statistics with the meshuges un tsuris in di mispoche, and I'm in trouble. The second alternative is just to wait for the Rapture and figure, "Ah, it's all going to Gei Hinnom for the rest, anyway-- and in many ways, for me". Then I remember Eliyahu, Yirimiyahu, etc.-- they were all told to get the geihinnom up and keep going-- and as for the guy who buried his talents, though he wasn't saved...

The Rapture had better come soon or life needs to get better soon or I'm in trouble-- because with OCD/Anxiety/Depression, Cerebral Palsy, and meshuges un tsuris in di mispoche; and in this culture and without a lot of support (or at least close and strong support, as at least even Eliyahu and Yirimiyahu had two or three of at a given time), I'm screwed, I'm done, I'm finished, I'm f_____-- and not in a good way.

Iran Can And Will Not Destroy Israel

Excerpts From Ezekiel 38-39:

1.  ² “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh,^[a] Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, ³ and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. ⁴ I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. ⁵ Persia, Ethiopia,^[b] and Libya^[c] are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; ⁶ Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.
2. ¹⁸ “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that My fury will show in My face. ¹⁹ For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, ²⁰ so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ ²¹ I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. ²² And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. ²³ Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.”’
3.  “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh,^[d] Meshech, and Tubal; ² and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. ³ Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. ⁴
4. ¹¹ “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog.^{[e] 12} For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.

A remnant of Persia, which is also Elam, will be preserved:

 
³⁴ The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, ³⁵ “Thus says the LORD of hosts:


‘ Behold, I will break the bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
³⁶ Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
³⁷ For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the LORD;

‘ And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
³⁸ I will set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the LORD.
³⁹ ‘ But it shall come to pass in the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the LORD.”

Yet:

²⁷ “ But do not fear, O My servant Jacob,
And do not be dismayed, O Israel!
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your offspring from the land of their captivity;
Jacob shall return, have rest and be at ease;
No one shall make him afraid.
²⁸ Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,” says the LORD,

“ For I am with you;
For I will make a complete end of all the nations
To which I have driven you,
But I will not make a complete end of you.
I will rightly correct you,
For I will not leave you wholly unpunished.”

So, either way, Iran but for a remnant is going bye-bye.

I'm Probably Masada2000's Next ____ List Candidate For This, But...

"Netanyahu in Nazi Uniform" may not be a far-off Photoshop. Beware Benjamin Netanyahu, Likud, and those like Miriam Woelke: they supports a racist, revisionist book known as Talmud Bavli. Miriam Woelke goes on to say:

"Israeli Left, if it does not fit you to be in Israel, from Gaza, Ramallah or to Ahmadinejad - there's land! There you will see after a few seconds, what your friends-- Arab terrorists-- do with you . If you're lucky, the head comes off quickly. If you get unlucky, you feel the whole range of torture."

(via Google Translate, corrected and edited for context by me)

Miriam Woelke goes on to state on her "About Me" sidebar:

"After years of living in Jerusalem, I recently left the city and moved first to the north and now to Tel Aviv. Nevertheless, I am still writing about Jerusalem but also include many other places in Israel.  Until some years ago, I was a Yeshiva (Michlalah) student. First with the national religious and later with the Litvishe. First with the national religious and later with the Litvishe. Also got in contact with Chassidut and this subject and lifestyle has never left me."

There you go-- Miriam Woelke learned and supports the Jewish Supremacist, revisionist, racist, anti-gentile Talmud Bavli. Since she supports a book that even those who were not supposed to be cohanim but were cohanim wrote (e.g.,  1 M'lakhim 12:30-32 and Nehemia Gordon's Yom Teru'ah). In fact, Nehemia notes that Miriam Woelke supports outright revisionism and racism:

"During their sojourn in Babylonia our ancestors began to use the pagan Babylonian month names, a fact readily admitted in the Talmud:

“The names of the months came up with them from Babylonia.” (Jerusalem Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 1:2 56d)"

Now here comes the part where Nehemia notes that outright racism is involved; and he notes it implicity:

"At the same time, the form of Judaism commonly practiced today is not authentic Judaism but "Talmudism". The Talmudists corrupt the true message of the Hebrew Scriptures by adding the teachings of the Rabbis found in the "Talmud", which they claim were revealed by God.[7] This despite the fact that there is not a single reference to the Talmud in the entire Hebrew Scriptures. The authentic Hebrew religion is that which is taught by the Creator Himself in the Hebrew Scriptures without addition or subtraction, as it is written: "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish anything from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHWH your God" (Deuteronomy 4:2)."

"The Talmudists corrupt the true message of the Hebrew Scriptures...." How with racism? That's where some examples from Yaron Yadan come in. And for example:

"The sages of the Mishnah ruled that a Jew is forbidden to board his animal in a gentile's animal boarding facility, because gentiles customarily have intercourse with animals (even dogs), and since according to the Torah even gentiles are forbidden to have sexual relations with animals (one of the Noahide commandments), one is forbidden to lead them into sin.
The Talmudic sages discussed this topic at length, arguing: if gentiles customarily have sexual relations with animals, why is one permitted to buy an animal from a gentile and bring it as a sacrifice in the Holy Temple? An animal which has been bred is not permitted as a sacrifice upon the altar. They answered this question: gentiles are careful not to have relations with their own animals; the female so they do not make her unable to bear offspring and the male so he does not wither away. But an animal which belongs to a Jew -- it would not matter if they caused a Jew's animal to become infertile or to wither away, so the gentile would have sexual relations with a Jew's animal..."

 Tractate Avodah Zarah, Chapter 2 does confirm this:

"CHAPTER II

"MISHNAH. ONE SHOULD NOT PLACE CATTLE IN HEATHENS' INNS,⁹ BECAUSE THEY ARE SUSPECTED OF IMMORAL PRACTICE WITH THEM. A WOMAN SHOULD NOT BE ALONE WITH THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE SUSPECTED OF LEWDNESS, NOR SHOULD A MAN BE ALONE WITH THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE SUSPECTED OF SHEDDING BLOOD.

"GEMARA. The following was cited in contradiction: One may buy of them cattle for a sacrifice, and it need not be feared lest it committed, or had been used for, an immoral act, or had been designated as an offering to idols, or had been worshipped.¹ Now we are quite right not to fear about its having been designated as an offering to idols or having been made an object of worship, since if it had been so designated or worshipped, its owner would not have sold it; but we surely ought to fear as to committing an immoral act!² — Said R. Tahlifa in the name of R. Shila b. Abina in the name of Rab: A heathen would have regard for his cattle, lest it becomes barren.³ This would indeed hold good in the case of female cattle but what answer would you give in the case of males? — Said R. Kahana: Because it has a deteriorating effect on their flesh. Then what about that [Baraitha] which has been taught: 'One may buy cattle of any heathen shepherd'; ought we not to fear lest he used it for an immoral purpose?⁴ — The heathen shepherd would be afraid of forfeiting his fee. What then about this [other Baraitha] which has been taught: 'One should not entrust cattle to a heathen shepherd';⁵ why not assume that the heathen shepherd would be afraid of forfeiting his fee? — They fear detection by one another since they know a good deal about it, but they are not afraid of us who do not know much about it. Rabbah said: This is what the popular proverb says. 'As the stylus penetrates the stone so one cunning mind detects another.' In that case, neither should we buy male cattle⁶ from women, for fear of their having used them for immoral practice!"

Here's An Afrocentric Load of Bull____, Or Actually An Insult to Bull____

At least bull____ fertilizes. This doesn't:

"Moses wrote Genesis after he was schooled in Africa "in all the wisdom of the Egyptians" who invented 365-day calendar year"

Moshe needed no help from Mitzrayim to write down Torah; and when Afrocentrics say Afrocentric drek, my mind begins to drift to haparsha l'shav'ua (and  harosh shav'ua b'Cheshvan-- Chodesh Cheshvan Tov): Kena'an ben Ham, an ach to Mitzrayim, Put, and Kush (Africa, and the former two are Egypt and Lybia), was cursed-- I wonder why!

Maybe No'ach foresaw Afrocentrism-- and Kena'an ze lo Kush (Caanan is not Africa), but still... and Kush is one of the goyim mentioned in whom will attempt to rise up against 'am Yisra'el (cf. Yehezkel  38).

Geraldo's Right About Those Boys and That "Teacher"

By the way, Matthew 23:8-10 commands that I not use "father", "rabbi", or "teacher" or "leader" (the equivalents being, I believe-- and I'm still working on my Hebrew-- av or ava, rav or rab, and rosh). Anyway, Bill O'Reilly is wrong about these boys and their now-former educator-- they were 17, well past coming-of-age and bar-mitzvah age, and knew not to go into her house for any illegitimate or illicit purpose, get drunk and high, and have sex with her. Given that they were not raped, they consented to being drunk, drugged, and engaged in statutorily-prohibited sexual activity. Had they been theratened to be forced or been forced onto the premise, forcibly drunk, etc.; that would've been a different story: they could've found a way to get help (e.g., screaming, fighting back, putting a sign reading "HELP!" or something else in the window-- as one woman once did when a former colleague raped her--, or calling 9-1-1).

The same goes for girls and their male educators-- the girls are all banot mitzvah and, in the cases in which I'm describing, aren't being threatened to be forced or being forced to be on their male educators' home premises, drunk, drugged, etc.. The same even for the prostitutes who Lisa Ling was highlighting-- the runaway American girls who call their pimps "daddy". Who is forcing these girls to run away to the streets instead of the police stations, the Departments of Social Services, the abused-and-battered womens' homes, the homeless shelters, the churches, the bayit dinim, etc.?

These bar- and bat-mitzvah-aged ishim and ishot (Yehudim and goyim alike) have to start being treated for the old-enough people that they are, not as boys and girls who are helpless victims-- save the kvetching and utzing about victimization and abuse (including and especially sexual abuse) for those who are under the ages of 12 and 13 and for those (even those who are 12 and older) who legitimately cannot get help and are being forced into situations with educators and others who really do have unchecked power over them.

"is geraldo rivera a jewish convert"? Keyword Search Question...

By the way, "thenicolefactor.blogspot" was amazingly a keyword today. Meanwhile, Geraldo's dad was a to-be convert who "promised to convert to Judaism, (which as a lay deacon of the church he never got around to doing)." His mom, Lillian Rivera nee Lillie Friedman, is the eighth child of Isaac Michael and Tillie Krivel Friedman. The widowed Mrs. Rivera specifically stated:

"Being the eighth child of Isaac Michael and Tillie Friedman[,] It never occured to me to ask questions[.] Now all my siblings are gone and I'm almost 84[;] there is no one left to ask. I do
know my Mother came here as a child[.] Her Mother was Rose Krivel[.] Although
I married a Puerto Rican he converted to Judiasm when we married in1940..."

(Punctuation added. Capitalization not corrected.).

Geraldo converted back into Judaism because of then-fiancee, now-fifth-wife Erica Levy:

"Rivera could not be reached for comment, but he told the Post that he is going to “take this whole Judaism thing seriously” from now on.

"While this would be his fifth wedding, Rivera says that it’s his first in a synagogue or church. He did become bar mitzvah as a boy, but he took part in a joint bar mitzvah ceremony with his oldest child, Gabriel, who is now 23."

By the way, this is how seriously URJ Reform Judaism takes Tanakh-- not at all. In fact, being raised in Columbia and not knowing that I am Jewish until much later in life, I can be thankful that I never had exposure to "Rabbit" Amy Scheinerman:

"Reform Jews, however, understand the texts to have been written by human beings -- our ancestors. In my personal opinion, the texts are certainly divinely inspired and reflect our ancestors' best understanding of God and their covenant with God, as well as their view of God's will, but that is not the same as being divinely-authored. Hence, Reform Jews read the texts through the spectacles not only of a religious person, but those of the scholar as well. Some institutions are considered to be a product of the cultural milieu and societal norms of the ancient Near East when the Hebrew Scriptures were written down, and do not speak to our lives today."

Being Episcopalian and raised by two Ex Catholics was enough, todam-- and then going to College of Notre Dame of Maryland was really enough.
