cool and connected
air conditioner for my living room was installed this evening. I thought it had a timer it does but only to go off not on. But it quickly cools the room so in the hot summer it will work.
Time Warner just finished my triple play so my phone is now internet based.

triple play???
I ordered Time Wrner Triple Play so I could save money. I will in the long run. The tech came tonight to add the phone nd wirless internet but thre was a mix up and they were going to give me a new phone number. So a tech will come out next week again to have the # transferred. Meanwhile there was a special which they said I wasn't eligible for but I managed to get that special tonight due to their error. I now have HBO and other movie channels free for 3 months and will get a visa gift card too. The computer is still running slow but I am due for a new one so will get a laptop. Any suggetions? Ialso asked for a new remote.

My Birthday
My birthday was pretty much uneventful. I went with Carol, my downstairs neighbor to Garden World to pick up vegetable and herb plants. We grow them in pots on her deck. We bought 2 types of tomatoes, eggplant, kirbys, pepper and herbs. We planted them in organic soil. Now we water them and wait for the plants to yield veggies. In the evening I went with girl friend (who has the same birthday) to Red Mango, a yogurt shop, The owner treated us.
Thank you to all who called me.

I'm Alive!!!!!
Hey Beautiful Family,
Hope everyone is doing well!!! I've realized the time has now come for me to post another blog. I need to apologize for being so bad at keeping in touch with everyone and I apologize for my future failures of keeping in touch as well. So first of all, I have once again reached that point of life where I'm feeling pretty confused about what's gonna be in the near future and I'm constantly having thoughts rolling around in my head of what I should do. This past Monday I started a Safrut Stam course in the yeshiva, it's something I've been telling myself that I've wanted to do for about the past year so I finally got off my feet and put together a little group in the Yeshiva and finally got the course started. So far it's been a bit boring and it's not a cheap course but If not now, when. So as of now I do plan on continuing this course until around Tisha B'av and hopefully by then I will be an expert scribe who has written one Megilla. It was a bit difficult for me to decide to start this course because it basically means that I won't be able to get a Summer job. Well I could, but it would have to be doing things like cleaning and stuff. Also, I hoping to start an SAT course in June. I've been trying to study for SATs on my own over the past few months but I havn't been well disciplined and I find it difficult to understand the material so I decided I should look into a course. (I'm hoping to get a 1400 on my SATs so I can be accepted to Tel Aviv University to start studying Physical Therapy. I actually spend this shabbos by a family where the mother is a Physical Therapist and she was telling me a bit about it and how she really loves it.) This is a very expensive course, but once I get out of the army I can use what is called my Pikadon, basically some sort of account that I will receive from them that can be used for studies, to pay for this course. Right now, I have to pay for the course on my own but retroactively I will get my money back, b/c I am still officially a soldier until January 2014. Speaking of which that brings me to my next problem. I have pretty much decided that I don't want to stay in Gush next year so I'm looking for something to do. I have been highly considering going back to serve as an active duty soldier to my old unit, and then I will be done in 8 months. And truth is, it's much less than 8 months, since I can request one month of Ulpan, one month of traveling abroad to visit family, and the last month is spent at home learning how to adapt back into society. The question is, do I really want to go back into the army???? HAPPY BIRTHDAY DODA!!!!
hope everyone enjoyed hearing one piece of the puzzle from my life,
all the best,
with tons of love,
Love,
Meir

Shayna's Bat Mitzvah weekend
Aunt Helen met me at work and we started driving up to Uncle Nat. The traffic was so bad just getting out of my area, trucks, traffic lights etc. Well we finally made it to the Whitestone and it was pretty smooth sailing to CT from there. Shabbos was nice, we rested and then Nat drove Worcester and we checked in around Midnight. We got to the Bat Mitzvah and Shayna lained and davened very nicely. No Musaf this time. The reception was set up beautifully with green and purple her colors. There was some mixup with the Kosher food and the caterer so we pretty much ate a cold salad and lox provided by the kosher caterer. The weather was rainy. The kids were dancing and having a good time. Cousin Miriam came in and looks good and sends regards.
Larry and Nat decided we should leave around 2:30PM and we did taking Aunt Helen with us (in Larry's car) The weather was horrible but we made pretty good time back to Stamford. We met and ate at a nice new resaurant called Kosh. While were there in walked cousin Leiby's daughter Judy and her kids (they live in Stamford) Nat introduced her to Aunt Helen. We hada nice cousin's dinner and got time to talk and eat.
I got home around 8:30PM and the weather was getting even worse. Aunt Helen got home around 10:30 PM as her access a ride car was late but the driver got her home safely and knew how to bypass the Belt Parkway.
