The fact that 'llama' sounds a lot like the Hebrew word for why (lamah) makes for hilarious ads

Dear Talya,
Interesting to read your musing but watch your punctuation aka "Eats shoot and leaves ". I believe it is incorrect to write "the hospital's..." what does the hospital possess ? It takes the same space to write " the hospital is..."
Chanukah Sameach,Shabat Shalom and love Dad

Haha, Dad. Besides, I believe that the contraction is a valid one, ala it's, there's, etc. You would do better to critique my use of semi-colons in the preceding paragraph.
Love and Shabbat Shalom to you too! I have a mobile now, the number's: 054 999 2829. I'll try and call you before Shabbat.

lol do you have people talk at you loudly? it's amusing how if you can't speak a language too well, people seem to think that aside from speaking slower, talking louder will also help :P

have not read power of one yet. will put on holiday reading list. it's been there for a while, i just haven't bothered reading it but i will take you recommendation into account.

No, they just look at me strangely and say it again, usually at the same pace. ;-)
