Christmas in Bethlehem
Jesus on rubble
No organized Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem this year, according to an NPR reporter who signed of as “in Israeli Occupied West Bank”. A Lutheran church in Bethlehem has set up a Nativity inside the church depicting baby Jesus in Palestinian swaddling clothes and on a pile of rubble — to symbolize the babies who have died in Gaza.
Not the first time scripture has been adjusted to fit politics.

Assume Nothing, and always Check Your Order

Ink bottles are more economical than cartridgesLast Christmas, we purchased an Epson Eco-Tank printer and I ordered extra ink from LD Products. I’ve worked with LD for years and have always had good products and, when necessary, good customer service.
So impressed with the ink usage. Finally, after a full year, which included printing a dozen or so copies of a multi-hundred page memoir (2-sided in color)…. we FINALLY had to replace the black ink. Note, the rest of the colors are only half used in a full year — and these cartridges are well under $10ea. Much more economical and efficient than the cartridges we dealt with for years prior.
Only now, however, did I discover how messed up our order was, including bottles that didn’t fit, one that was sealed without a nozzle, one where the nozzle stayed in the lid and ALL the color cartridges were the wrong number for the box.
I had to prove what I had, so sent this pic to LD. I’m confident they will take care of me.
The good news is that I was able to get one bottle to work and fill the black (with still more left in the bottle for next time).Efficiency of ink bottles
Bottom line — and I knew this from my years in business:
1) Assume Nothing, and 2) Check your order when it is received.

My posts don’t always get high response, but most get SOME. I am concluding that posts about supporting Israel, the IDF or anything like that — are not reaching my friends. So…. I am posting a few of those here and will do that periodically. If you want notification when I do, SUBSCRIBE….. and THANK YOU.

a Seattle high schooler had work marked incorrect on a quiz for saying “only women can get pregnant”.

Jewish lady had restroom blocked. These employees have since been fired.

The video also includes briefly the coffee shop where all employees quit — and the response from the community.

IDF Medic working in Gaza shares some of what she is seeing…

From which river to which sea?

News and Happenings /

Most college students, once they learn which river and which sea and what that chant, “from the river to the sea” would require…. well, read this WSJ article. It is remarkable, but not all that surprising, since it seems that most chanters and protesters for most causes don’t really understand what they are chanting for or fighting against.

Three all-women tank crews make history on 10/7

News and Happenings /

I was impressed. Israel has the only all-female tank crews … and this video is about how three of those crews fought on 10/7 as they are just realizing what is going on. There is no graphic video, but graphic descriptions of some of their fighting. These impressive, strong, “no fear” women made history and to hear them speak of it is …. well, you decide.
