The Bad Jew Cometh!

9:44 PM

Chaviva Gordon-Bennett

So not only am I blogging on Shabbat, but I also bought something this evening on my way home from shul. I needed toothpaste, and decided to pick up some glucosamine tablets while I was at it. Add to that that I got home and discovered that glucosamine has SHELLFISH in it ... and I'm basically the uber bad Jew.

Note: The glucosamine was hopefully to help grease up my joints so the crunching isn't so loud and obnoxious and that the pain would disappear. Looks like I'm going to have to find a substitute. Argh.

Schvach said...: So what's going on with your joints already? Have you been checked out by a good rheumatologist? You know there's a lengthy list of so-called connective tissue disorders (rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, scleroderma, and tons of others), so get rid of the Ice Man and see someone who's eminently qualified, and stay away from cortico-steroids!; 10:58 AM

About the Jewess

I began this blog in April/May 2006 shortly after converting to Judaism under Reform auspices in Lincoln, Neb., as a way to discuss my journey. After all, the Jewish journey doesn't end with conversion, it's where it starts! This blog winds its way through a variety of cities -- Lincoln, Washington D.C., Chicago, Storrs (CT), Teaneck (NJ), and Denver -- as well as a variety of jobs. I trekked through Reform Judaism to Conservative to Orthodoxy while living in Chicago and converted Orthodox on January 1, 2010. I've been married and divorced since my Orthodox conversion and would proudly say I'm denominationally "Underconstructionist."

The purpose of this blog is to share my story, my struggles, my ups and my downs, and to connect with others about anything and everything Jewish and social media. Write me, talk to me, comment, and be well!
