Green Room - Week 11 - Extended Weekend Edition

[clauderainsrm]

 This is the last Idol post I will be making as a 52 year old. 

The results/Sudden Death Write Off thread was posted last night: https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1165241.html

and the new Prompt was posted this morning  https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1165556.html

I'm starting to think that we should stop the regular polls and just have a rotating Sudden Death Write Off between randomly selected people!  :D 
Might save some time!!!  ;)

What are you doing to celebrate my birthday this weekend???   I wasn't planning on being off today but thanks to the hurricane my office is closed!  So no real damage (other than a little bit of clean up and putting everything back where it goes) but a free day to relax!  I wish everyone could be as lucky. (since there ARE people without power/significant damage) and those who are still in the path of the storm.

Well, since your birthday is tomorrow and I will be keeping Sabbath, I'd say you're in excellent, and exalted company. Happy pre-birthday, Gary! 😃💐😃🎂🍾😃
Now like any good Idoler, I'm off to check the prompt.

Hold on...
We're Jewish?!?

[murielle]

Christian who keeps God's Holy Days. :-)

[reidharriscooper]

Interesting...
I was Bar Mitzvahed and don't observe the Sabbath. I need my technology!

[murielle]

I cannot claim to be anywhere close to the observance of an Orthodox. I participate in Sabbath Service via Zoom, and Bible studies, too. These days I do almost everything via the internet. So, technology and observance are linked. And then there's the fact that though I try, I do more faceplants than anything else. :-)

[roina_arwen]

That confused me too, and I am Jewish!

[murielle]

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse. I know there are some here who do know. But I don't know who knows and who doesn't.

For instance, getting ready for Trumpets and Atonement and The Feast coming up super fast.

Again, sorry for the confusion. <3

[roina_arwen]

I knew you weren’t Jewish, it just hadn’t occurred to me that other religions might use the word Sabbath. No worries!

[murielle]

Many Christians use the word "Sabbath" but use it for Sunday. We observe God's Sabbath from Friday sunset till Saturday sunset.

A lot of people find us confusing. :-)

[reidharriscooper]

I'm "Jewish" by race but not religion. Sabbath is a Hebrew concept to me though, i am sure this is why we were both confused.

[roina_arwen]

I’m Jewish by birth, race, and Reform Jewish by upbringing. I was Bat Mitzvahed but am not particularly religious. And I agree, it hadn’t really occurred to me that other religions might use the term “Sabbath.”

[murielle]

Ha! I spent a good deal of my young life hearing that word. LOL!

[rayaso]

Happy Birthday! And congratulations on weathering the hurricane.

[reidharriscooper]

Glad to hear you and fam got through HH unscathed.
What will i do for your birthday? Sleep? Idk.

[murielle]

My brain is on hiatus!

So glad that you and yours survived Helene! Wow! I was worried, kept looking for posts and then I completely missed the bit on the bottom. The most important bit after your birthday, of course. ;-)

[swirlsofpurple]

Glad you're okay after the the hurricane *hugs*

[roina_arwen]

Happy early birthday, Gary! No big plans this weekend yet; working from home today, and also trying to finish my rhyming story since it’s due tomorrow night by midnight. I think it’s about 80% done. Whee!

[adoptedwriter]

Glad you’re safe! Enjoy your free day! I will be spending your birthday cleaning my house. We’re getting high winds and rain up here in Cincinnati. After nearly 30 days w zero rain the trees are in culture shock.

[chasing_silver]

Happy birthday, sir! I see Hurricane Helene decided to make it a banger for ya! We have power outages up here in IN and I'm sitting in the dark catching up!

[xeena]

Happy birthday Gary, I'm glad you and your family are safe.
I hope you like horror movies and pizza because that's what my friend and I are doing tonight to celebrate your birthday 🤣

[kizzy]

Happy Birthday Gary!
