...for the great job on Haveil Havalim this week . I am constantly amazed what wonderful and inclusive jobs other bloggers do and how much new blogging material that's well worth reading is out there. Thank you again Frume Sarah! CLICK HERE TO READ IT ALL

'no names' edition SnoopytheGoon at Simply Jews did a very interesting job with this week's Haveil Havalim. He doesn't include the names of the blogs/bloggers with the posts. You don't know until you click on the link. Which makes reading them all the more interesting! No favoritism or clique mentality - just insightful, great reading for a Sunday. My opinion, a very good idea for a Haveil Havalim! Thank you again, SnoopytheGoon for my mentions and once again, every single week - no matter who is hosting - I find a new blog or fresh outlook I would have missed had it not been for H.H. Give it a read! CLICK HERE

LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX Oh, not me!! No. No. No. That's a taboo subject with me. But not Yehuda , obviously, in this week's edition of Haveil Havalim. Great work, Yehuda . (Barbara avoids all possible connotations of the word "JOB"... ahem). And thank you for the mention, of course. OY!

DEEP THOUGHTS HAVEIL HAVALIM #126 is up REB CHAIM HAQOTON did a great, great job! Please click this link for his wonderful handiwork: Reb Chaim HaQoton: הבל הבלים #קכ"ו As I told the Reb, I sometimes can't believe my blog is among such other great thinkers. Who'd have thought such deep thoughts were running around in the heads of moms, dads, businessmen, students and everyday Jews! PLEASE CLICK HERE TO JBLOG ME

WHEEEE! CARNIVALS DAY! Two Blog Carnivals in which this humble blog is mentioned are up today: RANDOM THOUGHTS hosts this week's Haveil Havalim . And does a stellar job! This is a great carnival for everyone to read - its packed with news, views and Jews. What could be better? Another post of mine is hosted at a site I have been reading for a couple years now: CARNIVAL OF THE INSANITIES Dr. Sanity's Blog has some great stuff on it and should be a must read for everyone who appreciates lifes small & not so small ironies. Even though Dr. Santy and I are at opposite ends of the political sphere I can certainly appreciate her wit, her writing and her points. Here are some of my personal favorites from Dr. Pat Santy: THE NARCISSISTIC SYNTHESIS STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH DENIAL (This is Part One of a Three Part must read series of posts from the insightful Dr.!) PSYCHOLOGICAL DEFENSE MECHANISMS So enjoy some mental floss this week. And take that laptop...

IT'S BAAAACK! Welcome to the May 6, 2007 edition of Haveil Havalim. All week I had a lot of ideas about how I wanted to organize this carnival - but of course, I then realized that current events were going to dictate it, not me. Therefore I gathered some posts about the Aftermath of the Winograd Report together. I am sure future hosts will have a lot more to say about it as events continue to unfold in Israel. One thing I did want to take an opportunity to say here was to thank everyone at JBlogs , those I've met, those I'm getting to know and those getting to know me - for being so welcoming to me. Despite blogging for almost 4 years now I was very hesitant to join a blogging "community" for a long time. Over the summer I joined the Progressive Faith Bloggers and went to their BlogCon. It was very motivating and something I would love to see the JBlogosphere get together on. But still I dragged my feet, preferring to keep my little personal blog to mysel...
