My chalenge to you...

Show me a Jew who doesn't like Mu-Shu, and I'll show you a Catholic
School with a kosher meal.

The power of Bubbe compels me...

I recently bought some new ice trays from Crate & Barrel. The cool
kind that are made from that space-age silicon and make perfectly
square ice cubes. Now I'm afraid to use them for fear that I won't
have any in case company comes over. I don't even have company over
all that much.

I've channelled my Grandmother (G-d rest her soul) and her plastic
covered sofas. Whom am I saving the ice for? Is Abba Eban coming over
for Shabbos Dinner?

Yiddlish...

Not so much English or Yiddish, but the using the Yiddish vernacular to
replace English words in everyday conversation. e.g. Schvitzing
instead of sweating, having a nosh instead of having a bite, and
kibbitz instead of chatting. Most commonly used in and around the
five-boroughs, it is still a completely unknown language in the major
parts of NW America. Except in certain deli's that say they serve
authentic east-coast style sandwiches. But they don't. They pastrami
is always too dry and what they call mustard, feh, my Bubbe wouldn't
serve that dreck to the Czar. And don't get me started on the bread.
Is it too much to ask for a caraway seed in my rye bread...

Rosa es muy macho...

For the men who know that waring pink won't make you start sing show-
tunes, cheers to you. For the rest of you monkeys, put down the beer
and beef jerky. The phrase is "Dress to impress". So are you going to
make the impression that you play it safe with boy colours, or that
you are a man who knows what he is and where he can find a well
tailored suit?



Just remember like any other colour, there are shades that will work
for you and shades that won't. The Example, 1950s Cadillac Pink akin
to things like Goodfellas and the Rat Pack. Now who is going to say
that Bobby or Frank are sissies. The other is Sanrio "Hello Kitty"
pink which is more of a Japanese Schoolgirl thing. One is cool and
sharp the other is more like cotton candy dipped in honey. See what
I'm saying.

It's not better late then never...

Just ran across Grandma's obituary, this is the first time that I've seen it:

"HABERMAN-Helen, loving mother of Arnold, Clyde and Beverly, devoted mother to Kathy, Nancy, Clyde and Evelyn, cherished grandmother of Theo, Maggie, Zach and Emma, left us on May 18th, in Lauderdale Lakes, FL. Our loss is incalculable."

Okay, it took me a couple of minuets to remember what year this was...2000. Yeah, not my proudest moment.
