Question
Dear Griff,

            I had wild dreams where it was like biblical. It felt so real that I swear I was watching a movie. Here is my story: The idea of a second great depression first occurred to me in the summer I was wondering what if the Nasdaq drop from 2001 reactivated again and forces the economy to go down!

Kind of like the 1930s great depression my Grandparents were born in that era and they can tell you it was tough they are baby boomers my grandpa born in 1937 and my grandma in 1933 still alive praise God and knock on wood lol in there early seventies. By all means they are not like your aveage elderly folk they listen to spanish,jazz Reggeaton, Grandma loves Daddy Yankee lol dont ask she goes nuts over him she says my husband is on the radio and my grandpa goes what happened to me am I a ghost lol. Laughing as a joke. They are so much fun to be around they are not boring they love to party party party and go out to resturaunts and diners even the movies my grandparents loved the Transformers movie so much Yes Transformers! Grandma and her husband said That was coool. Grandpa loves to invent things and Grandma is a great cook she cooks like if your going to the Tropics or the Resturaunt! Learned how to do it herself. They were born in the West Indies Puerto Rican is my culture. We are Native American Indian too I am still though trying to discover my roots sometimes I feel my ancestors came from Galilee!

I am wandering Descendants of both Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews even Ladino Jews can still be founded in South america and West Indies Caribbean which I am from West Indies Caribbean culture! Is it true that all of Puerto Ricans today are part Jews? So is it true that PuertoRicans are Jewish and may not even know that they are?

I feel like it is so... Also how can I have a more Catholic house hold? Do I need holy water in my house and a small bottle with me everywhere I go?

Answer
Taking holy water with you wherever you go is not appropriate, but one can easily purchase little containers with a cross or suchlike on them for mounting in doorways, and one would put holy water in them, and then you can bless yourself with it when going in or coming out.
Sort of like how Jews may put a mezuzah in the same place.
