JotD: Spiritual comfort (PWH00009)

The PolyBlog
May 9 2025
There was a horrible automobile crash, and the driver of the car lay on the side of the road dying. A passerby said to him kindly, “Why don’t you say a prayer?”  “I don’t know any,” said the stricken man.  “Haven’t you had any contact with religion?”  “As a boy, we used to live next to a Catholic Church.”  “That’s it!” said the well-wisher. “Just repeat what you heard in the church!”  “Okay,” said the injured man. “Under the B-15! Under the I-22!”

JotD: Oy vey (PWH00008)

The PolyBlog
May 2 2025
Henry Cohen’s parents were not happy that he was not married by the age of 30 and they kept telling him so. He wanted to please his parents but couldn’t meet a nice girl. In desperation, he married a goyish prostitute.  His new wife’s friends were worried because she had stopped showing up at her regular street corner, but one evening she appeared, in new clothing and fancy jewelry. Naturally, the friends were curious, and she told them how she had married a nice Jewish boy.  “What about his parents?” they asked.  She answered, “They love me. After Henry told them about us, they had a party every evening for a week. They called it shiva.”

    Leveling up – Three kitchens, one frogMay 28, 2026
    Let me start with a confession. I only have 12 recipes on the website. Not much of a start, right? But this is part of my anal-retentive side. I like to curate recipes, find some good ones, and then put them on my blog. Except that I have hated the design of my recipes for … Continue reading →
  • Leveling up – From Goals to Pondside PlannerMay 27, 2026
    I write a lot about goals. Goals for the day, goals for life, goals for the week. Goals before retirement. Setting goals, monitoring goals, achieving goals, dropping goals. Different types of goals, different types of methods for managing goals. Having goals as a goal in and of itself. Sometimes it veers into performance measurement. Yet, … Continue reading →
  • Leveling up – Movie reviewsMay 27, 2026
    Similar to the work on the Lilypad Library (my book reviews), I’ve upgraded my movie reviews, too. First and foremost, I’ve changed the name to Lilypad Cinema. Notice the theme? Yes, I’m leaning fully into the frog motif. Second, I’ve upgraded my featured image. Previously, I used the couch potato-style image below, with the man … Continue reading →

    Leveling up – Book reviewsMay 26, 2026
    Soooo…I have said a few times over the last few years, “NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER CHANGE MY BOOK REVIEWS FORMAT.” Why? Because I am generally anal-retentive, and with 300 completed reviews, there is a niggly part of me where, if I change something, I want to go back and change all of them to … Continue reading →

    Ah, April showers have brought us May books. Wait, that’s not the right saying. I’ll get back to you on that. Remember last month when I said I was going to show rigour? Well, that didn’t happen. With the larger intake base, I have 119 entries for consideration this month. Of which, I only said … Continue reading →
