Dang...I meant 57 years ago...I’ve asked moderator for title change...
As in carpentry, measure twice, cut once.
For all the good that’ll do ya?! LOL! Moving back from the UK to Albuquerque with my folks. (MILBRAT)[Late May ‘63]
I was in the fifth grade.
A few days later I watched on TV when Jack Ruby shot Oswald.
I became a conspiracy theorist on _that_ day—before I even knew what a conspiracy theorist was!
I was in second grade. The teacher got called out of the room in the middle of class, she came back crying...which caused all the girls in class to begin crying. Vacant me looked around wondering what was causing all the crying. Never did figure it out then. We were sent home way early which was cool, but I didn’t get what all the fuss was about. Just didn’t register at age 7, my world didn’t include any of that stuff then.
it was the day before my birthday. Pretty rotten day back then.
Little known fact was that it was also the day that C. S. Lewis died. I’ve read every religious and thought book he’s written (i. e., not the Narnia chronicles) and they’re great, thought provoking books.
Oh please no change! It's like moths to flame.
Say Phinneous, you ever notice that the name "Jack" [ג'ק] appears nowhere in the Tanach... meaning that no gimel-kuf string appears within a word anywhere, even separated by other letters. There are a few occurrances where words join (2 forward; 6 in reverse order), but back to this word situation in particular:
There is one lone word containing both a gimel and a kuf, and they appear reversed, and are separated by a letter.
Ziklag. Where David rescued the captives and got word about the death of Saul. Thus David was near becoming king over all Israel.
A place of great timing in the historical documents.
You can see then that "Jack" (which contains a geresh) is hidden deep cover within Ziklag [זקלג] as
kuf-lamed-gimel, which is the numeral 133, same as the sum of Boston (which is Je-bus-town, New Jerusalem), where Jack was from, the subject of this thread about the 75 years.
As the Boston tourist slogans say (in the present tense):
"The Revolution Happens Here"
Naturally, there is a song (Psalm) for that:
133
1. A Song of Maalot of David; Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity:
2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that runs down upon the beard, Aaron's beard, that runs down to the hem of his garments:
3. Like the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life for evermore:
Exactly.
An Irishman and a Jew walks into a bar...
Isn't that the whole Point? Drink! There's even a blessing that goes with it, "L'Chaim!"
Fits right in with the tradition that Rikva was the gilgul of Eve, the mother of all the living. She was the creative soul who made the very first Purim costume, dressing Jacob in Esau's Sunday best. Smelled like a field.
Talk about a woman way ahead of her time.
LOL! I wasn’t even born.
Nah, leave it! More fun this way.
Too late- you’ve been noticed!

Hey, we all knew what you meant.......don’t sweat it:) I was 15 years old and will never forget that day or that weekend. I’d never wish that on anyone......;(
