Lime Green Bowl
The lime green floating in the waves of this glass is amazing.
Never thought I'd be mesmerized by anything green that wasn't in nature! ;-)

Pineapple Umbrella Drinks
Has pineapple slices hanging off the sides.
A big plastic straw and don't forget the umbrella on top of a grape.
I think they said that they paid $27 for two.
It's a bargain! ;-)

True Self Is Helping Others
The Rebbe’s message was that self-improvement was really about helping others! All the changes we commit to around the Jewish New Year and make in ourselves is not really about us, but rather about us being able to develop ourselves in order to “give it all away” to help others. Too often, people think in terms of self-help, self-improvement, where everything is sort of in terms, well, ourselves–my looks, my degrees, my career, my bank account, my family, and so on. However, people should not lose sight that everything that Hashem gives us is really for a higher spiritual purpose, for giving to others or “paying it forward.”
In this vein, we learn Torah not just for the sake of learning, but rather in order to actually do Mitzvot! Rabbi Kaplan explained that the Rebbe would make each and every person feel special and important. Why? Because by building up the individual, each could then go out and build up the world. And this is one of the reasons that I love and respect Chabad so much—from my experience, people like Rabbi Kaplan and Chabad in general, are all about living this life lesson from the Rebbe and giving, giving, and then giving some more in order to really improve the Jewish community globally and by extension the world.

Taste Like Nothing
What does it taste like?
The boba [taste] is like nothing!
Can you put in a lot of boba?
Tea sweet, but no more boba.
Why?
Because it's nothing.
But if it's nothing, why can't you put in some more?
It's tapioca, but it taste like nothing and I can only put in a handful.
Ok, give me some Thai tea with the boba in it.
Are you sure? It tastes like nothing.
Yes, yes, yes. I love boba with nothing taste, just make sure the tea is plenty sweet!

Y'All Crazy
Y'All Crazy!
The longer I'm around and see the world "in action," the more convinced I am that it's true enough!
Sorry world, I wish it wasn't so. ;-)

Sign Of The Times
So much for having the masks off for a couple of weeks, which was at least a taste of fresh air and freedom.
But backwards we go...
A sign of the times in Covid is to park your bicycle in front of the couch, so no one can actually sit down on it and spreads any germs.
Any bets on what happens from here with all the variants and how this is gonna impact our daily lives for time to come?

All American Hummer
Based on military Humvee, so rules the road.
They should've never gotten rid of these.
Big and rugged like you'd expect in America.
This one has the red, white, and blue colors to prove it! ;-)

Great Microwave Decor
Why watch through the glass window, the food on the turntable (and the splatter) as it heats up when you can instead see some real art!
Also, kids art is somehow always the best; they see things in a more pure, unadulterated, as well as a fantastical way that makes you look at life anew again.
Enjoy the wonderful art Papi! ;-)

These Looks Good
Blue one.
Yellow one.
Orange one.
Looks so refreshing.
Especially on the rocks or even better like an icy.
Want to try a little (or a lot) of each! ;-)
