A song dedication to Corine...
THE BALLTRAP
(Rod Stewart)
Well my brother said he saw you in a downtown bar
With a price on your head and a black man on your arm
C'mon sister, I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
I'd rather see you dead with a rope 'round your neck
Or see you paralyzed in both your thighs
C'mon honey you got me crawling down on my knees
If you say it's all over I'll pack up and go
But this time tomorrow you'll be screamin' on the phone
Come back baby and let's get naked tonight
Well I can't say yes and I can't say no
My heart wants to love you but my soul says go
C'mon sugar why don't you let your man off the hook
You got me in a balltrap
Lord I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a balltrap, hung up on a one-night stand
You got me in a balltrap, strung out on a midnight tram
First time I had you up on ol' Park Lane
You didn't know my name even when I came
As I recall you let me walk home in the rain
You said I'm cute but tell the truth
It's my body you want with the red hot juice
C'mon honey let's call the whole thing off
You got me in a balltrap
Lord, I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a balltrap, hung up on a one-night stand
You got me in a balltrap, strung out on a midnight tram
My mama don't like you and I ain't surprised
You got poison lips, you got amphetamine eyes
She keeps on saying why don't you find a nice country girl
But Ma I ain't never been in love before
I can't sleep or eat all week
But Friday night I'll be alright
On the midnight trampoline

Jewish Dating Tips:
Dating is one of those great life experiences that we all go through. If you are interested in Jewish dating, there are going to be plenty of others interested in exactly the same thing. Here are a few good dating advice tips to learn ways to do it right - and to avoid the ways of doing it wrong.
1. Find others interested in Jewish dating
This is part of your challenge. Many dating environments - bars and clubs for example - are not necessarily geared for meeting someone interested in Jewish dating. There are many other places to meet. Obviously, a temple environment is the best. But this is a situation where the Internet comes in handy. Use one, or more, online dating services to find other Jewish singles. It will be private and will give you the opportunity to explore your feelings as well.
2. Have an idea of what kind of relationship you are looking for
When you decide to date, spend some time making sure you know what you are looking for. Be honest with yourself and know what will make you happy. Is it a casual encounter? A long term commitment? Or maybe even marriage. At the same time, be flexible. The dating world is unpredictable, but that can be part of the fun. Enjoy what comes your way.
3. Feel good about yourself
Dating can be a tough process. You need to be prepared by feeling good about yourself. If there are things you would like to change about yourself, now is the time. Join the gym, learn a new language, start eating better - anything that will make you feel good about yourself. This will give you the confidence to show yourself off in the best light, and to be able to deal with any rejection that comes along.
4. Don't worry about what others think
This is a lot easier said than practiced. If you have self confidence, then it won't bother you if others may not feel the same as you about Jewish dating. Time is your best friend here - once you have some experience dating someone who holds the same Jewish values as you and finding out that is what you want, you won't be so conscious of what others might think.
5. Know yourself
One of the best top Jewish dating tips is to spend some time getting to know yourself better. Think of how you would like others that you might be interested in to see you. If you know that you are a fun and positive person, keep reminding yourself of that, so it shows through to others. You are probably looking for the same in people you want to date.
6. Have fun
The most important thing to remember is to have fun! Searching for the right other person can be a fantastic experience, filled with anxiety and emotion and even drama. But if you approach it with a positive attitude and think of the search as being as much fun as the catch, you will have a better time. Make it easy for yourself by setting your mind to the fact that this is something fun.
7. Don't go it alone
While you are the one doing the dating, there are ways to have support to help you along the way. Get your Jewish friends involved; let them know what you are up to. They will support you and will provide you an opportunity to talk. Surround yourself with people you respect and listen to what they have to say. This is particularly important if you are inexperienced in the dating world.
8. Be a good communicator
Communication is the name of the game here. Visual, verbal, and subtle communication is what it takes. Be consistent and honest with the other person. You will always find people that are playing games, but you are smart enough to see through that sooner or later. Ask questions and be a good listener. Your common interest in religion will always provide a good source of conversation. Use all types of communication: the phone, a written note, an email - whatever comes to mind. All of this will show your interest in the other person.
9. Follow your heart
When you are dating, listen to your mind, but follow your heart. Keep in tune with what your intuition is telling you about the other person. Is it love at first sight? Stranger things have happened.
10. Be creative
Do something unexpected. Be impulsive and see what happens. Don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from the experience. If the other person is the right one, they will appreciate your creativity. And if they aren't, you just might have fun anyway. Being creative is even more important if you are looking for a longer term relationship, as you don't want things to become routine and uninteresting - for you or for the other person.
11. Use common sense
Dating isn't rocket science. We all have common sense, so use it. If it makes sense to you to do something, then you are probably on the right track. And always keep your eyes out for other good relationship dating tips; they come from all kinds of sources.
12. Be prepared to spend
To have a successful dating experience resulting in a relationship, you will need to spend time, money, and effort. Nothing is free in the dating world. It will take some time. Most people who date want something to happen immediately, but we have all found out that doesn't happen. You have to spend money to find the right person and spend money to make yourself ready, so don't let the expense get you down. And most importantly, be ready to work hard to get what you want.
13. Be safe
Be safe, in all senses of the word. When you are making initial contact with someone new, do it in a public place. Make sure you know as much as you can about the other person before you provide any personal information, such as your phone number, or where you live. Don't take chances and use common sense. If you feel like the other person is being too mysterious, then it is time to move on.
14. Leave when you need to
No list of best dating tips would be complete without reminding you to know when it is time to leave. Don't be afraid that you are losing your only chance to be with someone who holds the same Jewish values as you. There are going to be others. Don't settle for something that isn't right for you. You deserve better than that. Breaking up is never fun, but we all know that we recover. And if you aren't the one initiating the breakup, remember that this is part of the experience as well. Rejection is tough, but keep in mind of what might be next - it could be even better!

Posted: 5/4/06 at 10:10amFor centuries during the Passover seder in Jewish homes, one of three pieces of unleavened bread, matzah, is broken in half, wrapped in a napkin, hidden, and later retrieved to be served as the last morsel of food eaten at the end of the lengthy observance of this ancient Jewish feast. This bit of unleavened bread is called the "afikomen". It symbolizes the Passover lamb. For Jewish children, the afikomen is used to hold their attention until the end of the seder. In some families the children "steal" the matzah and are paid a ransom in order to get it back to the table. In other families it is hidden and the children search for it and are rewarded. Some Jews from Middle Eastern countries saw the afikomen as having special powers and kept a piece of it as a good luck charm.

Corine, I took the liberty of looking up your dating horoscope for tomorrow on www.datingfun.com:
Virgo
Daily Romantic Horoscope
for 5/5/2006
It's time for you to put your listening skills to work. If you're out on a date or just chatting up someone new, you need to focus more on them and less your own awesomeness, at least for the moment.

so the afikomen is kinda like a happy ending.
you jews need better marketing though. in addition to hiding the afikomen and having the children search for it, there should be afikomen decorating and coloring in addition to a giant rodent mascot to give the religious event extra special meaning.

Those Rod Stewart lyrics totally grossed me out. Thinking of that awful scratchy voice singing them just about put me over the edge.
However, even that can't erase my joy and excitement about The Big Date on Friday and puts me more in mind of "How Lovely to Be a Woman" from Bye Bye Birdie.
