Not As Exciting

[debka_notion]

This isn't as exciting as my last post, but it's still on the exciting side of normal. Mom and I were looking at my closet (ok, the closet that my sister and I share at home, except that now, the majority of the contents are Dad's shirts), and she had put in there a suit that she bought for herself and decided that she didn't want. So I tried it on, and it rather suits me (oops- that pun wasn't intentional until after I wrote it, but I like it, and am going to keep it). So I now actually own a pants-suit. I should still get a skirt-suit so I can wear it to shul sorts of things, but this is a useful thing to have. (I've felt strongly about not wearing pants to shul since long before I had any idea that anyone would, in the modern day, have issues with women wearing pants. Just like I somehow picked up the idea that one did not wear shirts that did not cover one's whole shoulder to shul long before I had a real idea that shoulders would be a concern from the perspective of modesty. I don't get how I picked up on these things, but I did. Go figure.)

I second that, I have no idea why I fee so strongly about the subject but your shoulders should be covered and a tallit is not a covering as for the skirt thing I also feel very strongly about that. Even though pants can be fancyish, i just think its part of dressing up for shabbos.

Must be something inherent about human nature . . . <snort>

Ha.

Yeah right.

It just must be something that is culturally conveyed in a wider circle than takes modesty restrictions seriously in the rest of life. Things spread out in funny ways sometimes.

No, it's נבואה. You used your powers of רוח הקודש to intuit the views that frummer societies feel a need to dicate in social codes.

And, since you clearly must have נבואה, could you perhaps use your powers to tell me what am going to eat for breakfast tomorrow? Thanks.
