It's not kosher because there's a line somewhere in the Old Testament that says you must not drown a calf in its mother's milk.

After a while, I turned a corner and there was the answer to my problem: a big sign said, "Burger King." So I walked in, wallet filled with Israeli shekels, and asked at the counter, "Can I get a Whopper with cheese, fries, and a Diet Coke like in the USA?" A girl with an American accent replied, "You bet - but no cheese on the Whopper." Within a couple hours my stomach was back to normal and I was all set for my week-long Israel tour to begin! When I got back to the States, I asked a Jewish friend why no cheese on the Whopper. She explained about the calf and mother's milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I am not Jewish, it isn't a big deal. We will ask about the grape pie if Cheese can ever find his way up here. In my neighborhood, a lot of meat is marked either halal or kosher. I don't really know what either really means other than they probably weren't grown on monastery or nunnery grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted January 21, 2019 Share #31 Posted January 21, 2019 ...when we bought this 1950's California Ranch style house, it had all casement windows. When we had the cash to replace the 1950's casements, I selected vinyl sliding windows, manufactured by Milgard, I have no regrets, and have yet to bump my head on an open sliding window while weeding or trimming in the foundation planting shrubbery. Which I did several times on those stupid aluminum casements. We did have Pella wood casements on the house in the foothills. It had a full basement, and the windows were up higher because the foundation extended higher above ground level. Those were also very fine windows. I support @Airehead 's decision to go with whatever she deemed appropriate for her circumstances, and feel that @AirwickWithCheese might not be seeing the window issue through a clear and undistorted pane. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 21, 2019 Share #35 Posted January 21, 2019 2 hours ago, Randomguy said: But why don't we milk pigs? Good question. Supposedly their internal organs, etc. are more like humans than any of the other animals we normally eat. Maybe, like human mother's milk, the sugar content it too high. More likely, it's harder to milk them than goats or cows! Back just before The Depression, my maternal grandparents bought a farm outside of Wilkes-Barre, PA where they owned a house in town. They were robbing Peter to pay Paul to make it all work and set a rule for their nine kids, my mother being the youngest. If the kids didn't have a job in town, they went to the farm and worked it, otherwise they stayed at the home in town. My mother, around age 5, got out of doing work. The oldest sibling, Mary, was put in charge of the farm. One evening, Mary asked her brother John if he had milked the cows. He did, but said, "No." Knowing the cows suffered much pain if they're not milked, Mary picked up a shovel and whacked John on the head, nearly knocking him unconscious. When Aunt Mary told us cousins that story, about 40 years later, we laughed and laughed! So, after seeing the Chinese dispose of dead bodies by feeding them to their pigs in the TV series "Deadwood," I wonder what those mean pigs would do if they weren't milked? John, whacked in the head, recovered and went on to be Navigator of a B-17 bomber in WW2, bombing Nazi facilities including the raid on the Ploesti Oilfields in Rumania where 25% of the American Planes were shot down. He retired from the Post Office. Four of five sisters: Martha (age 17), Mary (pushing 30, 10 years after being the shovel wielder in charge of the farm), Sally (age 19), and just-turned-15 year-old mother-of-me-in-11-years Helen in 1939 at their parents' home in Wilkes-Barre, PA. The only surviving of all 9 siblings today is Aunt Sally, second from right, who turned 98 last August: 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted January 21, 2019 Share #37 Posted January 21, 2019 ...more on windows. The house we had here before this one, a 900 square foot "cottage" style place that was originally built in the 1920's and then expanded with a couple of small additions over the years, had a lot of windows in it. They were all multi-paned, wood, double hung sash weight windows. Over the years, about half of them had broken the sash ropes, and so you had to prop them open with sticks if you needed an open window. I loved those windows, they were beautiful, Not real practical in terms of energy efficiency, but genuinely representative of a certain era in windows. I remodeled that house completely, but I could not bear the thought of ripping out those windows. So I opened up all the sash channels during the remodel and replaced all the sash cords with some sort of modern sash cord that was made out of some marine polypropylene rope that would last a long time. I'm sure whoever bought it from the people I sold it to replaced those beautiful windows with some modern, trashy looking stuff. But I tried. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
