Hey, checking in!

I've been reading at the site for years, and have only just now find the boards!


Whatcha wanna know?

I've been living in Israel since '74, am a medical librarian, and devour the forsensic stuff I catalog.

Welcome to the board! I lived in Israel for a few months in '93 excavating up at Tel Dor. Are there still Shokobah ice cream bars? I loved those! That and a cold Maccabee...that's living on the Mediterranean!

I'm glad you came out of lurking!

Howdy!

Did you have any trouble with the fundamentalists during the dig? They can get very necrophilac over bones...:rolleyes:

Not familiar with that brand of icecream, but the icecream has gotten better year after year here.

Maccabee? Meh. I have to admit that I am a bit of a beer snob, and prefer foreign brands. By the way, there is a very good Palestinian beer --Taibe -- I know it's sold in the USA so you may want to try it!

No, We were in pre-Israelite layers so the question didn't arise, but I'd heard about concern...My biggest problem with fundamentalism came when I took a carton of milk to a meat meal and was driven from the cafeteria at the point of a broom. Oh, and an excavator was a diabetic and they wouldn't let the insulin be put in the fridge because it might be pork based insulin-the dig director had to go buy a fridge for the dorm :D

That superfatted Israeli ice cream....ahhhh....and I will look for Taibe, thanks for the rec.

So, how do you have interest in following mostly American crime from a distance?

Your tales of the Jewish fundamentalists made me go :rolleyes:

Funny thing is, some years ago they started to build a private fancy-smancy Orthodox housing project (project as in expensive, not poor) somewhere and they ran into... you guessed it... bones :eek: some rabbi came by and conveniently decided that they were not Jewish bones...:tongue:

Oh, my interest in American crime. Well, first of all I am an American and to the distress of my family, who considered themselves Above Such Things, I've always had an interest in that kind of "low" thing. Maybe because the candy store where I got my coke in a dixie cup in a metal holder (now you know my age) after school (I'm originallyfrom The Bronx) had the National Inquirer in the window, and I used to learn lots of new words reading the headline...

CNN International doesn't pick up Nancy Graceless, so I read her on the 'net. We get Faux (my politics are showing!) and I am royally skeeved that Greta Van Sustern doesn't do crime anymore, only politics which she does poorly IMHO, so I came out here to play.

I am with you on GVS and her failure to cover either things I want her to cover, or cover them well. Everyone is covering politics! Quit it GVS.

Here we have laws protecting native american burials, but if the developer can get one single person to sign off from the tribe they can go ahead-there is no provision in the law for WHO represents the tribe! So its all variations on a theme...

Given the brutality and cruelty against First Nations, I can see that.

If you've been here, you know that it's a political game for the Jewish fundamentalists.

Besides, many an old Moslem graveyard has been mercilessly torn up or paved over for a highway here.

I turned on Fox to watch GVS today, nothing about the Peterson case-- it was just about all the D!ck Cheney hour.
