I dis not miss minyan the entire pandemic. Mrs. CTL and I had all the grandchildren, great nieces and great nephews and some nieces and nephews in residence at the CTL compound since about March 12th
We had regular minyanim, have our own sifrei tora, an Aron Kodesh, etc.
We were aware of the state imposed restrictions on indoor capacity and deliberately did not use our seats in shul, so those without a private minyan such as ours could attend shul.

I haven’t traveled out of town and don’t intend to do so in the foreseeable future. Our home in Florida has been lent to close friends who wished to get out of New York last March. Our house in Herzylia Pituach is occupied by my niece and family who felt it safer than their apartment in a crowed area of Yerushalayim,
We made a chasunah in the compound late last spring for a grandson, Had full yomin tovim with the family in residence. Preparations for Pesach are underway in the Pesach kitchen upstairs as we will celebrate our second set of Covid Sedarim in the compound.
Buying the adjoining properties and building a family compound was one of the smartest things Mrs. CTL have done in our adult lives.

@Always
My going to shul was coincidental with having my first shot. During the past week CT Governor Lamont relaxed indoor restrictions for religious services.
Prior to this relaxation I stayed away from shul, as we have a minyan and sifrei torah at our home. My attendance after the easing of restrictions no longer might have kept someone out who did not have the availability of a private minyan.
Social distancing was observed in shul. Only every 5th seat was available for use. Our family row has 12 seats and only three could be occupied, unless we lived in the same household and were exempt as a cohort.
Again, so shul kiddush and gathering occurred in the vestry following minyan, all left the building promptly and headed home.

I had my first dose of Moderna Vaccine Friday at noon (CT opened to over 65 as of Thursday and I was able to get a choice of 12 time slots for Friday, with a confirmed 2nd dose Friday March 12 at noon.
The location was a Walgreen’s Pharmacy 5 miles from my home.

The pharmacist who administered the dose told me that three side affects are likely. My upper arm will be sore from about 4 hours after getting the shot and up to three days. It is sore, but not painful. I might develop a slight rash and should treat it with over the counter Cortisone cream. I didn’t get the rash and I might develop a slight headache approx 24 hours after the dose. I got a headache this afternoon, so I took a nap and it was gone.

My 78 year old sister in law has had both doses with no side affects. My elder brother is getting the Pfizer vaccine tomorrow and we’ll compare our reactions. My 74 year old sister and her husband of same age are getting Moderna on Monday and we’ll also discuss after affects.

I would say the soreness in my arm is about 3 times how I feel after my yearly flu shot. The needle seemed to go much deeper into the muscle and the pharmacist said it is bot longer and a wider diameter than he uses for the flu shots.

Let’s just drop the last word in the title of this thread,
LINDSEY GRAHAM’S STUPID.

He is also two faced, a liar and not to be trusted

I know a lot of people who have gotten divorced and some who are getting divorced and a few who are planning to divorce,

BUT, I have been a Family Law Attorney for decades and it’s part of how I make a living.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My question for COFFEE ADDICT is are you asking why a few people are getting or have been divorced or why you have come to know about it?

The whys usually boil down to: money, incompatibility, familial interference (especially among younger couples) and infidelity.

Why you have come to know about it: There is less social stigma and shame in divorce than even 25 years ago and people don’t try to hide it from their friends and acquaintances.

@Participant
This Impeachment is specifically about the events of January 6th. Read the Bill of Impeachment, the incitement of the insurrection/storming of the Capitol is the only charge voted upon by the House of Representatives. You can speculate all you want about other underlying factors.

@Smerel
Why can’t you post facts and accurate information?
Jurors and judges are not one and the same. Not all trials have jurors. In the court system, a judge can nullify the finding of a jury (not so in an impeachment).

@AbbaS

You are wrong on two points
“45 senators have already voted that it is illegal to impeach anyone after they are out of office”
45 Senators voted to table a vote saying the the impeachment trial of a former President was Unconstitutional.

No vote took place to say it was illegal, Unconstitutional does not mean illegal. Illegal must be in contravention to a law, statute or regulation,
This is not the first time a former federal official has been impeached and tried after leaving office.

@smerel
Why don’t you go take a 7th grade civics class before spewing inaccuracies

“at least 75% the judges needed for conviction are long time open enemies”

You don’t need a single judge to convict. In fact not a single judge is to be involved in the Senate trial. The members of the Senate sit as Jurors. Because this is not the trial of a sitting President, The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will not preside, instead Senator Patrick Leahy will be the presiding officer.

75% of ZERO is ZERO….game, set, match.

@Coffee Addict
I highly doubt the house would have voted a Bill of Impeachment for just the 2 pipe bombs, not directed at government and which did not go off.

@eli lev
Sponsored content is NOT news. It is not journalism, it is NOT fact checked.
IT IS ADVERTISING. Someone or some organization with an agenda is putting forth a call for support or funds with their version of a story (which may or may not be the whole truth and nothing but the truth…you can tell I’m an attorney).

Health

To put it plainly, you are a blithering idiot.
Trump LOST the popular vote in 2016 and 2020.
No proof of widespread illegal vote being counted has been presented in the courts. PROOF, not allegation.
What State police escorting 5 vans of Antifa to the Capitol??????? PURE LIES. There are NO State Police in the District of Columbia. It is NOT a state. State police from outside the district could not cross the boundary to escort anyone to the Capitol. The only time State Police can cross out of state on duty is in the HOT PURSUIT of a criminal fleeing a crime.

We don’t vote by County in the USA, only popular vote and statewide Electoral College votes. Counties can have 1,000 residents or 3 million, so it doesn’t matter how many counties someone ‘wins.’
Connecticut has EIGHT Counties. The two largest Counties by population: Hartford and Fairfield have 1.832 million people. The other six combines have 1.6 million people. So win 2 lose 6 and still win the total popular vote for the state and all the Electoral College votes.

Stop parroting the LOSER’s rhetoric and face pure facts, such as the county example I posted. You look like a fool, it’s unbecoming

@Health you are delusional and wrong
Trump lost the election by millions of votes
He also lost the Electoral College Vote.

BTW….I live in a small Republican Town in Fairfield County. The last time it voted Democrat for President was in 1964 (LBJ over Goldwater), It voted overwhelmingly for Biden, Trump lost. All the other Republicans on the ticket running for state offices won in our town. The voters split their tickets to REJECT Trump

I don’t believe Democrats are afraid of Donald Trump. We are afraid of his actions and of the lunatics he attracted. These ignorant fools with guns are a threat tp public safety.

As for those who can not accept that he lost the election, all I can say is you/they are delusional.

@lakwhut

Why must you constant LIE?????????????????
Did you fail arithmetic in second grade?????

Grenel was nominated in September and approved by the Senate in April. SIX months is NOT over a year.

@smerel
So, typical of the right wing Trumplicans. You can’t dispute my post, so you attack me personally.

McCain is DEAD of Covid 19 contracted at a Trump Super Spreader event

Rafael Cruz, Senator from Texas is a Latino, born in Canada to US parents who courts the extreme right wing and fought Trump for the 2016 nomination. He encouraged the mob who cane to DC and will provably seek the 2024 nomination, playing up to the white supremacist garbage ion the Trumpilcan throng.

@littleYou Know
WHO appointed you to speak for the rest of US?????
You do not have permission to speak for me.

” He has brought waves of liberalism that we all find as points of suffering. ”

We ALL don’t find liberalism suffering. Some of you may feel that way, some of us don’t.

It is better to buy the Lottery Ticket than steal it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That said, I have never bought one.
That is not to say I do not enjoy occasional gambling such as a card game (back before Covid, when some friends would come over for a Sunday supper, then the men would play cards and the women would play Mah Jongg.
The amount gambled would be part of my entertainment budget, not money taken from bills or tzedakah or planned savings.

ujm
You are an ignorant fool and an embarrassment to anyone with a semblance of intelligence
“once to counteract all the dead Democrats who fraudulently vote from the grave”
Dead people cannot vote! Fraudulently or otherwise. A LIVE person who casts a vote in the name of a dead elector is committing fraud.

You have stated here publicly that you would commit election fraud, a felony punishable by fine and imprisonment, You are a lousy role model for our Jewish youth.

In our case it was cats. our children all drove Jaguars to High School once they were 16 and had a license. They got Mrs. CTL and my hand me downs.

I on the other hand brought a horse. I drove my 1966 Mustang to high school

@Mammele
The employer is not powerless to fight it. Apparently the employer was happy enough with performance to not have fired the employee. So, upon notification of the potential charge against employer’s experience ratio, the former employer offers the employee the old job. If the offer ios refused, the former employee loses benefits and former employer is not penalized.

@bored
I’m no troll.
Tired of UJM constantly posting lies.
Again, we have an acting AG, not an AG as UJN posted. He will not be acting as of noon on January 20, 2021.
After the recordings of yesterday’s phone call from Trump to the Georgia Secretary of State, no one in their right mind can profess to be a Trump supporter.

Donny thinks he can be Dictator for Life like his buddies in Russia, North Korea and China.
It appears that he has broken Georgia law and no Federal pardon can save him from prosecution if the sovereign state of Georgia decides to proceed.

As to the point of this thread, I suggest you ask the OP. I didn’t start the thread, but will not let ujm’s lies and inaccuracies go unchallenged.

B”H we don’t qualify.
Let it go to those who truly need the assistance.

That said, I saw on a local online forum that money was already received in accounts on Friday morning.
Those who receive the checks by mail should expect a wait, especially with the way Trump and is inept Postmaster General have decimated the USPS.

Hopefully the egomaniac in The White House won’t again waste government resources to send out letter with his signature, as if these funds came from him. It is our tax money being disbursed for the general welfare of the country.

We can still express disdain for the idiots who supported Trump and continue to support the buffoon, as well as his whole family of grifters and those criminals he pardoned.

NOTE: I did not use the word hate, I don’t hate anyone.
Trump is mentally deranged and needs serious help.

@ThelittleIknow

You know very little
The President was impeached. FACT
Impeachment is a bill of indictment voted on by the House of Representatives
Trump was not convicted. the Senate voted in his favor during the trial of the House;s Impeachment papers.

You can believe all the lies you want, but stop posting out and out lies in the CR.
