9/11! 9/11! 9/11!
What's that you say?
War on terror! Terror!
Iran! War! Terror! Iran!
What's that you chant?
Quash dissent! Dissent!
What's that you rant?
Bumbling and babbling
Flat wrong! Dead wrong!
Fetid and un-true!
It's wrong!
Carry on!
Hopes slain in you
Hope splattered through
Flat wrong! Dead wrong!
Carry on!
Sending indicators
Deep in the sand
Terrible, ghastly gestures
Reverberate `cross the land
It's wrong!
Dead wrong!
Now why don't you carry on!
Do not use liberties for freedoms sake
Do not raise your head and state
Democracy lives!
It's wrong!
Carry on!
Democracy kept secret
Democracy kept quite!
It's wrong!
Dead wrong!
Now why not carry on!
They might listen
They might sense
Freedom's ring
Over plummeting bombs

I've heard of young Dallas band Polyphia before, but the couple of tracks that I checked out didn't wow me -- don't get wrong, fucking badass and everything, just nothing hooked me and made me go 'I could really get into that'. But then I'm on Heavyblogisheavy earlier and they point me to a playthrough video of "Impassion" and bam, I was onto something tasty.
Shreddy without being showy and heavy but with a hefty dose of melodicism, "Impassion" is right up my alley. Is it right up yours?

You are wary, a wild thing with its heart in a cage, because it offers more protection than just your ribs. You hide. You hunger too, raw, bloody, for the things you'd never dare speak, confining them to the cage with your heart so they never get out. But they live in your eyes, in the way your hands curl into fists when you're not thinking. We're mere humans but there's something of the hurricane in you.

The Ongoing Storm
You're the tail end of a storm, the orange light tinging the clouds, the last echoes of thunder that roll across the skies. Distant and dangerous, beautiful to see but impossible to touch, you leave me with a strange sense of unease, like I just missed something awesome and rare, that you know of and I have no hope of ever experiencing; like the apocalypse is just around the corner and you know all the techniques to survive.

The Exits That We Miss
I have loved many people in this life. But then there is you, with something unreadable behind your eyes, a distance, a void, a mirror which throws back echoes of me. This love is selfish, I know. I want you for me and none else, a single mutual exclusiveness that could snap my soul in two for the power it wields over me. Selfish, yes.
I cannot have you. In the sordid, rotting core of my heart, nothing is more obvious. It is the poison that creeps through my veins and blurs my vision when I look at you. It is the tug that keeps me insane. If I could bleed it out, I could walk away, I could leave you and this selfish love in a shadow, forgotten and lost to time.
There is always a but. And this one whispers tales of the look you give me when I look the other way, that I catch the tail end of out of the corner of my eye. It's not longing, it's not love, but it is not the look you give to someone who is merely a friend and nothing more. Is it? Who knows? Only you, and you keep yourself close.
And it doesn't make any sense, this restless endeavour for a cause, a possibility, a hope. Because at the end of the day, you're going to walk away, keeping your silence and the unreadable look behind your eyes. And I'm going to be left with a selfish love and a self that feels nothing but self loathing.

Frail wisps of blonde hair ran up the pale legs that poked out from beneath the hem of a skirt the colour of blood. Of all the things I thought in that moment, the one that prevailed was the distraction of the itch in my fingers that wanted to run up her legs and see if they were as soft as they looked.

Summer Elegies
Beneath the dew caressed leaves, in the warm dappled light of a dying summer, a group of you danced in the air, flitting and fluttering and flirting in and out of the heavy rays of light that filtered through the branches. In humid air you wove a song with the twisting of your wings, a reckless elegy to yellow days beneath the arc of a perfect blue sky, to the height of life, to unbreakable togetherness. Humming, you came close, inviting, and promising renewed life after the winter.
I, little, lost, confused soul, watched from within an enclosed house and beat desperately with my wings to be there with you in your glorious summer dance, but I could not find the cracks in the glass of my window.

I cannot stop thinking about touching her. Not bare skin against bare skin, chest against chest, though the thought does not escape my mind, but her, close enough to emanate warmth through layers of clothing. My imagination overloads on the ghost of her in my arms, the ridges of her ribs rubbing my forearms, and I cannot envision anything but the palms of my hands against her hips, her head close enough that the scent of her hair is all I can smell.
And what of the explorations of my fingertips? They shall trace every part of her; the knobs of her spine after she has lost her shirt, the valleys of her ribcage, the downy hairs on her arms. I want to know if she will shiver, if her breathing will hitch and adopt a desperate arrhythmia. My body will have hers, and she mine, and we will lie on the precipice of recognising something inherent and inalienable, human conquistadores in a familiar, unexplored landscape.

Prison Bus
A smile and a volley of heartbeats. A faded memory folded and kept in a breast pocket. A rattling bus weaving through debris littering a long abandoned road. The grass on the side of the road is tall, wild; anything could lurk there. Anything but you.
The bus seat is sticky beneath my fingertips, gluing itself to my my t-shirt. I would have followed you across the universe on my knees if your smile had ever meant anything. Instead I took a sparsely packed bag and took the first bus out of town; this bus, where you could get venereal diseases off the seats, and lose everything you have to the guy with a battered cap pulled low over his eyes. And all I have to give are the bruises on my knees that refuse to scrub off and a faded memory that I refuse to show anyone. Because it's the only real thing left. In the light of day, folded out to be seen by everyone, it would be nothing more than another dream of a lost lifetime.

Inside a crowded imagination, the possibilities were endless. Faces flashed and fanned out before me; people I'd met, or merely passed in the street, people I'd never talked to, and people I wish I had. Girls with coloured streaks in their hair, girls on skateboards on sidewalks. Girls in cafés, girls with books tucked under their arms. Girls blasting music into the atmosphere, points of vivid nose, and girls who barely say a word. Boys with neatly done up collars and suspenders over each shoulder. Boys with big glasses and curly hair and neatly trimmed beards. Boys with tattoos creeping over their skin.
I thought on these, on the things I was drawn to in people, out of the infinite possibilities. And slowly, without realising I was developing it, I found that I had a type; and the realisation hit me without preemptive warning. A slap in the face, a punch in the gut, the hollow feeling of falling. Because time and time again, it turned out they were all reflections of you. Without knowing it, I was falling for the bits of you I recognised in other people. Two years and a hundred people, and the only person I can think about is you. Inside a crowded imagination, everyone else is just a figment.

Company We Keep
Here, there. Near, far. Distance is the only company we keep. We're back to this shyness that forces us to avert our eyes. But every fibre of me screams to look over, to see if you're pretending not to share the glance too. We entertain ourselves with fancies and longings. We destroy ourselves on the sharp edges of reality.
You're there, and I'm here. And one of us is in the wrong place.

I don't know what it is, but I have a case of wicked itchy fingers when it comes to projects around the house. Seriously, if I have a few days off, my first thought is usually "what can I tear up today". Not good. I'm pretty sure that my husband has a mini heart attack every time he leaves for work because he's never quite sure what he's going to come home to. Not to worry though, yesterdays project was just taking the gross pulls off of the cabinets in the kitchen. It's amazing how just taking those off (which were in the middle of the door, by the way) makes it look better already.
Anyways – get back on topic, Grant – I spent the better part of the past week researching different flooring options for my epic mistake from a few weeks ago. We still haven't made any final decisions yet, but as of right now we are leaning towards eucalyptus engineered floating flooring. It has the most unique and pretty grain (yeah, I said it was pretty), and it will be the easiest and quickest way to get rid of the 70's that have invaded my kitchen.
found at Lumber Liquidators
It's so hard for us to actually pull the trigger and make a final decision. We are obviously new at this and admittedly have no idea what we are doing. Do you have any experience with this type of flooring or suggestions for us? Thanks for helping us newbies out!!

There seems to be some locals that won't really be giving Thanks this time of year. These turkeysare residents at a local farm, Green Meadows and they were awfully happy and friendly.
When Derek was little and visiting turkeys, he leaned against their wire caging and one took that opportunity to bite back on Derek's finger. He was startled more than hurt. After a bit of tears, he exclaimed, "I like turkeys better when they are cooked!"
Let's not tell these guys that story, though, huh?
Do you think the birds have a newsletter? Or mass emailing so they know when their weekly meeting is?

It has been two years since Congress enacted enacted legislation requiring federal agencies to adjust their civil penalties to account for inflation. This resulted in the first increase in federal OSHA's penalty amounts since 1990 – beginning with a whopping one-time increase of 78%. For federal OSHA, the new penalties went into effect for citations issued on or after after August 1, 2016. In accordance with the new law, those penalties were adjusted upward again, for inflation, on January 13, 2017.
States with state plans, like California, are required to implement programs that are "at least as effective" as federal OSHA's, which generally means that they have six months to follow any lead that federal OSHA sets, and to implement any changes or updates that OSHA implements. In California, there was some initial debate over whether federal OSHA's penalty structure actually applied to states – or even to OSHA itself, given that the rule requiring the penalty increase was at odds with the unaltered Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Federal OSHA's position was that it did apply to state-plan states, and this month, California finally followed suit, amending its own penalty statute, 8 CCR 336, to increase statutory penalty amounts. The new penalty structure went into effect on September 14, 2017.
The updated penalties were set at OSHA's August 11, 2016 levels, rather than the inflation-adjusted January, 2017 levels, meaning that:
- The maximum penalty for general and regulatory violations has increased from $7,000 to $12,471.
- The minimum penalty for willful violations has increased from $5,000 to $8908, and the maximum penalty has increased from $70,000 to $124,709
- The minimum and maximum penalties for serious violations in California were already higher than federal OSHA's newly-adjusted maximum penalty of $12,675. The minimum penalty for a serious violation in California remains $18,000, and the maximum remains $25,000. However, separate penalty requirements for serious violations of the tower crane and carcinogen use standards, which were set at $2,000, have been removed.
- Likewise, California's existing maximum penalty for failure-to-abate, $15,000 per day, already exceeded federal OSHA's newly-adjusted maximum penalty of $12,675, and has not been changed. For serious violations of a crane standard, order, or special order that have lead to death or serious injury, the maximum penalty of $14,000 per calendar day has not changed.
As with federal OSHA, the affected penalty amounts are expected to be adjusted for inflation in January of each year based on the Consumer Price Index.
Although the maximum penalty amounts have, in some cases, risen steeply, employers should note that minimum penalties, for the most part, have not, and penalty adjustment factors also remain unchanged.

I am having a bit of a lazy Sunday morning. My husband and I decided that with the extreme windchill, he would drive alone to our other town for service and leave me here to take the local service in a pinch should he have trouble with the car on the way back. I love going to the other church and am disappointed to miss it today, but the decision was a wise one. Our deacon is down with possible pneumonia so won't be there to take over in my husband's absence. It will be a very small group at the service and they are used to me taking over from time to time. In a minute I will go and check out the liturgy and readings, practice the hymns I was scheduled to play anyway, but for a few moments I am going to continue to chuckle at something I read in a newspaper earlier this morning.
Every place we have lived in has a bevy of local musicians who rarely have opportunity to "make it big" but who are popular for various reasons other than actual musical ability. I was reading about one of them this morning from a town where we once resided. Whatever his level of talent or lack thereof, this man is determined to do his music full time. As he approaches middle age it seems less likely he will ever get that big break he has sought for so many years. I have to admit I don't care for his music, his singing voice or his style of attacking his musical instruments. He is a nice enough person, but there was never a hope in my own opinion of him becoming an international star.
What got me laughing this morning was an article about a fundraiser he was involved in a few days ago. It was a feature article in his local paper. There was a giant photo of him playing (or attempting to destroy, not sure which) an otherwise innocent guitar and from his posture and facial contortions it was obvious he was grinding out one of his own versions of a bluesy tune.
So what was he raising funds for?
He was headlining a fundraiser for new toilets in a local park. For some reason the whole fal-de-rol of the report, the huge headline and photo, the several columns about the need for these toilet facilities, struck me as absolutely hilarious. It is partly because when I first heard the poor man singing I was reminded of the sound of a broken toilet I once heard grinding away as it attempted to flush refuse into the sewer system.
Maybe it is only my own bizarre sense of humour, but for that reason his fundraising efforts for this particular event seemed most apropos!

I received an email from President Obama asking me to back his health care reform and requesting I write my congresspeople. The thing is the email did not tell me what the reforms actually were. And the only reason I get these emails is I wrote to him when he was running for the job to tell him I did not agree with some of his ideas. He never answered my questions but his peeps did ask me for money. WTF. My first reform would be that all government employees receive exactly the same benefits as the people they represent-medical, salary, vacation, and pension. If most of your peeps are union and get a pension, then so do you. If most of your peeps are like me and have to save my own money for retirement, then so do you. And your money comes from your state, not the feds. Michigan money should not pay for New York bennies.
Funnies of the week:
I was listening to the radio and Big Daddy came in and asked who was doing Morse Code. Yes Morse Code was coming across the radio for about 10 minutes. Was it military from Selfridge or some ham operator? Who knows? Told Big Daddy to brush up on his Morse so he can figure it out next time.
GrrDog came home from the spa with a bow on his collar. This is unusual for GrrDog and Big Daddy mentioned it. Spa peeps said he was a fairly good boy. BiG Daddy mentioned bow was on the collar and not on the top-knot. Spa said GrrDog was not THAT "a good boy". How can such a cute fucker be such a terror. And his terrible gas is back.
Rex Parker Does the New York Times Crossword had a fight with Evil Doug. Over rap music. On a blog about puzzles. This only confirms my earlier observation that blogs deteriorate the longer the bloggers sign on, bloggers think their opinions matter, blog owners think they are relevant and this whole venue is hilarious. Sometimes it is fun, once in a very great while you may learn something and mostly it is hoo-haa. And this fight happened one of the very few days I actually worked this year so I missed the whole damn thing and only caught up on some of it today. Drat, Egad, and I am irked. Word of the day antithetical, written by Orange, the smartest person I don't know.
People are indicating that Chrysler could go back to work in the next few weeks. I pray it is true so I can make my house payment.

My flight is domestic and short. They journey from Phoenix, Ariz. to Park City, Utah takes two hours and makes me question whether or not I like flying.
My plane is not large or spacious or comfortable. Plastic-walled with blue vinyl seats, it is packed tight with passengers. I wonder if they share my sense of docile irritation. We sit like sardines packaged in bottled air ready to be shot into space. I consider my seatbelt. How will it help me in the event of a crash? The fasten seat belt sign blinks and I obey, strapping myself to the plane.

Awww......he is getting so big but he is still my sweetest little one. Looked forever for a Valentine shirt for him, they don't make hardly any for boys {super frustrating}. Finally found this cute one stuck in the back corner at Old Navy. Old Navy is one of the best places to find little boy clothes that aren't too expensive or cartoon charactered out.
Tulips for my table, which I just found out a few days ago were my father's favorite flower. Who knew.....I had no idea he even liked flowers. As my mother gets older she is coming up with all these bits and pieces of information about our family that I never knew. She was so busy working and raising 5 children she never had time to think. Now she has more time and is able to pass these memories down to me which I love!

I forget things more and more these days, a tendency I attribute to growing older. To be honest, at 51, I'm not sure which makes me more anxious: my thinning hair or my lethargic synapses.
I am sitting on cement bleachers at an ice rink southeast of Chicago's O'Hare airport, our home ice. The kids and I are nearing the end of our day, I am tired and my butt is cold. I would like for the women seated near me to stop talking. Endless, mindless chatter about nothing. What merit is left to silence?

Sexual assault is a crime few people want to talk about. It's a tough topic — personally invasive and legally loaded, intricately complicated and sensitive. It's national in scope and particularly problematic on college campuses.
Twice that weekend, both on my flight to San Diego on Thursday and my return flight to campus that Sunday, I felt like I was going home.
Books by and about Notre Dame people.
The commons is actually a simple notion, but advocates say it has huge ramifications for how we lead our lives, maintain our communities and organize our society in the years to come.

Deaths in the Notre Dame family

Deaths of Notre Dame alumni
Dramatic shots of the skies above South Bend called attention to campus at least twice last year.
On November 15, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels stayed overnight in Alumni Hall, a men's dorm and self-proclaimed "Center of the Universe." He might have learned as much from the men of Alumni as they did from him.
She may have lived in the 12th century, but the German mystic Hildegard of Bingen speaks to the 21st, says Margot Fassler, Notre Dame's Keough-Hesburgh professor of music history and liturgy.
Regis Philbin, ND class of 1953, ended his morning talk show duties on Live! with Regis and Kelly on Nov. 18, 2011. The man often spoke enthusiastically of his alma mater on the air, regaling audiences with affectionate descriptions of everything s from his favorite duck in Saint Mary's Lake to the courtrooms in the new Eck Hall of Law.
Welcome to Molarity Redux, the 26th strip in the updated, continuing adventures of Jim Mole and friends.
A friend recently asked me for advice on how to manage mornings better. Evidently in her house, mornings were stressful, with much yelling and nagging and conflict.

Usually, clothes get broken in through casual overuse, which explains why your Mass Maritime shorts are butter-soft, but also developed a casually un-battened hatch for your cargo. Giving you classy clothes, worn-in classily, Yigal Azrouel
If you're stepping it up a bit, they've also got paper-thin black patch-pocketed blazers, and blue-striped linen pants w/ a baggy "ultra drop crotch" -- sure, they're no alma mater shorts, but they've still got plenty of room for your poop deck.
Blast into The Past in This Throwback Streetwear Shop
From an Israeli-born French Moroccan and "self-taught expert draper", YA's latest drop features an upscale take on the "lived-in" look with its "deconstructed" casual wear, arrived at via heavy, repeated washings pre- and post-stitching, resulting in a line that looks as if you just threw on whatever was crumpled up in your room, assuming your room was littered with custom-tailored high-end fabric.

Tinnitus is a rather common problem that is responsible for creating distracting noises within the ear of the victim. Whether or not there is an actual cure for the issue is uncertain. There is, however, some simple solutions you can attempt that are known to sooth or remove it from patients.
It is important to watch what you eat if you have tinnitus. Believe it or not, certain foods, like those that contain a lot of salt, sugar or artificial sweeteners, can worsen your symptoms. For more information on which foods are beneficial for tinnitus patients, speak with a medical professional.
If you're hearing noises in your ears that aren't external, relax! It is not always a sign of a condition you should worry about. If the ringing persists, consider contacting a doctor. Even if a doctor's visit is necessary, continue to remain calm for the benefit of your overall health.
Many people who have tinnitus find relief from their condition by utilizing sound therapy. There is a simple experiment that you can try to see if sound therapy will help you cope with your tinnitus. Tune your radio between two stations. You should hear a static sound when you have tuned it between stations. If the static sound from the radio masks your tinnitus or makes it less noticeable (partially masks it), then sound therapy will probably help your condition.
If you are already suffering from tinnitus, it is mandatory that you take steps now to protect yourself from any further hearing damage. Stay away from loud noises, and wear hearing protection when you cannot avoid noisy environments. Always keep a supply of earplugs with you so that you can take action right away if you find yourself in a situation that could be potentially harmful to your hearing.
It is important to be as involved as possible with your own treatment when you have tinnitus. Nobody knows your body like you do, so you need to be an active part of your healthcare team. Communicate your feelings, symptoms and ideas openly and clearly to your doctor to give him all the information he needs to help you the best he can.
Whether you have been diagnosed with tinnitus or not, it is nonetheless important that you always use ear protection while in environments that have dangerously high levels of noise pollution. Prolonged exposure to excessively loud noise can increase the likelihood that you will develop tinnitus; it can also cause the condition to become worse in individuals who already battle tinnitus.
Keep your home environment soothing to help relieve the symptoms associated with tinnitus. Try using the fan in your AC and heater for some background white noise. For a less intense option, you could place smaller fans throughout the house. Some people even purchase small tabletop fountains so they can enjoy the relaxing sounds of running water. Soothing sounds like running water are a great way to take your mind off the ringing in your ears, or at least relax you enough to not be frustrated by it!
You should take the advice listed above to heart and do your best to calm the noises. Tinnitus is known to last varying lengths and appears irregularly, so there is no guarantee that it will ever be removed. Luckily, tinnitus can be coped with, and it will not have a huge impact on the lives of most.

Once we have a prescription on file for CPAP supplies, you can order from us anytime!
Don't have a prescription? Can't find a way to obtain one? Consider replacing individual parts of your mask or machine. Most masks have replaceable parts that can extend the life of the mask.

Skaveling Bat
This monstrously sized, undead bat has mottled, decayed flesh and eyes that smolder with an unholy green glow. Known in some circles as ghoul bats, skavelings are the hideous result of necromantic manipulation by necormancers, who create them from mobats specially raised on diets of fungus and humanoid flesh. Upon reaching maturity, necormancers ritually slay the bats using necrotic poisons, then raise the corpses to serve as mounts and guardians.
They are also known as ghoul bats.

If you were to mix French elegance, fashion, artisan designs, world class fragrance, and gift boxes all in one, you would most definitely get GIANNA ROSE ATELIER designer soap. No ordinary run of the triple-mill gift soaps, I came across Gianna Rose's U.S. based line most recently whilst reading Vogue Espana (Spain). Filled with natural botanical extracts and emollients, these dainty soaps are molded by skilled artisans into some of the chicest shapes such as Dress Form soaps in the shape of a dressmaker's form wrapped in pink tissue with a tiny black bow around its waist, and the most realistic looking and smelling rose petals thinly cut for one wash per soap petal. There is also an irresistible line of dog shaped soaps including a fresh linen scented Scottie Dog, and a faithful replica of your beloved Dachsund boxed in super chic houndstooth. Thing is you may never actually use these precious looking soaps, but rather admire them on a glass display shelf in your bathroom.

Dear Mother,
I am glad that you got to spend some time with (little/not so little anymore) Ari. I actually received a letter from her today. So cute! I love her to death.
Glad that it appears that I am taking good care of myself and my clothes because I really am trying to take care of everything and make it last. The hamper has actually been a blessing and I am very grateful for it, so thank you for always knowing what I need.
Elder Sherman always does the dishes and keeps the kitchen clean. You would be so proud of me... We had inspections the other week and I cleaned all the walls...with bleach and everything. The apartment looked so prime.
Sad to hear that my boys lost but I am glad that the Cheatriots are not in the super-bowl to say the least.
Sad to hear that Eric might be moving but I am glad to hear that Aunt Katherine is doing okay. I put her name in the temple today. What ever happened with the Blazer? Just curious.
SO cool that Andrew is going to Mexico for his mission!!!! Please tell him how excited I am for him and that he is still one of my best friends.
Elder Davis
Dear Papacito,I cannot believe that I am going to hit my six month mark this week!! And what a blessing to have spent it all in the same area. I have really grown to love Poway and the peeps that reside in it's boundaries. I feel pretty strongly that I will be leaving at our next transfers, but who knows. I have really grown and learned a lot here. I have also made a lot of friends that made me promise that I will come back and chill with them.
As for our investigators, not much has changed. We just have J****, I*****, and L***. We are having a lot more success with the members and less actives though, so that has been very cool. We also got a Branch Mission leader and that is going to change the way things work by a TON! He is so awesome and this branch is going to grow. I just know it. Some day, it will be a ward. How exciting that sounds coming out of my mouth/head!
I am glad to hear that everyone enjoyed my letter and photo. I hope that you got my second letter and that everyone isn't totally freaked out. But I can assure you that I am perfectly fine.
You are such a powerhouse Dad! You amaze me with something new every week. How proud I am to call you my father. It also makes me happy to hear that you still have the opportunity to teach the Randall's and the Higbee's. Please give them my love and tell them how awesome they truly are.
Congrats on the trip that's coming up!!! That is so awesome. I know how much you love to travel and what a cool thing it will be to see the promises in your patriarchal blessing fulfilled someday.
It makes me happy as well that you all got to enjoy Ari so much. Your experience that you have shared reminds me of how I feel sometimes. I am getting a little scared because I am really starting to look forward to the day when I have my own children. Whoa, I guess I am finally growing up. I also REALLY look forward to searching for my eternal companion. But don't worry, I am keeping myself focused on what is truly important at this time of my life and that is nothing more than this great work that I am able to do.
It is disappointing to hear that my boys lost to the Seahawks but I am VERY happy that Cheatriots are not in the super-bowl. Plus, I gotta say, it was a nice touch ending with the UTES UPDATE! I am very proud of my soon to be fellow classmates.
Elder Davis

And, in honor of Purim, something fun (and hopefully funny!)
Israeli culture can be difficult to adjust to, but it gets easier with time. Here are some signs that you are blending in well:
#10. You met your 70-year-old Shabbat host when she shoved you aside in order to get on the empty bus.
#9. Your chain-smoking sherut driver doesn't stay in the lane, but, Baruch Hashem, he says Tehillim.
#8. All of your 5 sons carry a gun. And so does your rabbi.
#7. Your morning commute involves hitchiking.
#6. Your Russian is coming along nicely.
#5. You wear a winter coat and hat when it is 18 degrees C outside. Sandals, however, are appropriate in any weather, or during any lifecycle event.
#4. You were set up on a shidduch during a job interview.
#3. You have no problem using a storage closet as a dressing room even though it doesn't have a mirror, or a door. The cab driver idling by the storefront will tell you if the clothes are mat'im.
#2. You have eaten schnitzel for breakfast.
#1. You really begin your grocery shopping once you've put your cart in the checkout line.
