And of course it goes without saying that we can also be careful to be polite to all people regardless of whether they have any power over us. Just saying.

How would I know if I got money for her? I don't know what my stimulus check would have been had I not claimed her as a dependent. I also don't know what my refund would have been.

My oldest kid worked this year, filed and got a return (direct deposit). Is she also supposed to get a stimulus check? Or not if I claimed her as one of my dependents? So far she hasn't and I received my stimulus direct deposited already.

@CountValentine would you think the Catholic school should publicly denounce, and take strong action against the words and sentiment coming from an individual who seems to be a parent of a child in that school?

Where is yehuda's post about black anti-semitism?

My favorite line:
Back then, Mendel, who is 6 feet, 3 inches tall and burly, traveled frequently to Café Baba, a kosher belly-dancing club in Queens that used to be a popular destination for Israeli ex-pats who left their families and refused to give their wives a get.
