F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT'S MS BERMAN TO YOU!

Well, now Social Security, and the Motor Vehicle Administration knows what you all have known for a long time.. I am FAYE BERMAN again!!!!!!!!!!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!

let's see....

ok so i tried topost something but it didn't work, so I will just copy the list cause it is funny...
Mavin B Simcha OUT!!!!!!!!!!
Your car, no matter what year it is has only three hubcaps.
You a girl under 18 that has at least two chilren.
Anywhere you go in the city you can see the two Television Towers.
People give you a ten digit telephone number.
You know how to get anywhere on the MTA.
You can go 1 inch across the city line and know that you're out of the city.
You've ever gotten 6 peices of chicken for $1.99 that fit on one slice of bread.
Cops constantly pull your car over if you have an orange Maryland Tag.
You've know where every Red Light Camera is.
You've been to a church that is a reconditioned rowhouse
You ignore every No Turn On Red Sign You've wondered where the Freeway between Franklin and Mulberry Street was supposed to go to.
You've been to the store to buy a 40, a pack of cigarettes, a roll of toilet paper and nothing else.
When the traffic light turns yellow you look over to the right for a red light camera.
You've made it through downtown in 5 minutes.
You still have SuperBowl 35 Flags on your car. Raven 34 Giants 7.
You have a car sound system but no car.
A trip to Washington DC includes a $13.00 Marc train Ticket.
You could be 20 feet away from somebody and they will walk in front of your moving car to cross the street.
The further away from the city you work, the better the pay is.
It is Bawl-mer or Ball-tee-more - not "Baltimore", depending on if you live north or south of Rt. 40.
You don't wash your clothes, you "warsh" them.
Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere, Baltimore has its own version of traffic rules.... "Hold on & pray."
There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Baltimore ... we all drive like that.
All directions start with... "The Beltway...."....which has no beginning and no end.
The morning rush hour is from 6am to 11am, the evening rush hour is from 1pm to 7pm... Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning.
If you actually stop at a yellow light you will be rear ended, cussed out, and possibly shot.
All unexplained sights are explained by the phrase "Oh, we're in GLIMBURNIE!"
If someone actually has their turn signal on it is probably a factory defect.
Car horns are actually "Road Rage" indicators.
All old ladies with blue hair and Buicks have the right of way. PERIOD
The minimum acceptable speed on the Beltway is 85mph, anything less is considered downright sissy.
If the humidity is 98+ and the temperature is 98+ it's May/June/July/August/September.
If it is 10 degrees, it is Orioles Opening Day. If it is 110 degrees, it is opening day at Ravens Stadium.
If you go to a football game, pay the $75.00 to park in the "Ravens Lot." Parking elsewhere could cost up to $7500.00 for damages, towing fees, parking tickets, etc.
If some guy with a flag tries to get you to park in his yard during Preakness ... run over him! It's probably not his yard anyway.
HFStival is not only a yearly tradition but it is one of the biggest parties of the year
You understand that Old Bay is essential to have a good meal
Your entire high school senior class went to Ocean City for a senior week and it was the best week of your life
You can pronouce Havre de Grace
You understand that the Terps and the Ravens kick major ass
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Baltimore

Hello... is anyone there???

I know that I have not written a lot lately, but that is just because I have NOTHING to say..... N E Ways.... Today is Sunday. I am psyched because Abba is coming to visit. Last night I went to a bazaar (I have NO idea how to spell that) at the local frum girls school, with my friend. I bought a Lithograph that I have had my eye on for years. Last night it was down to $45.00, mounted and framed. Now it is MINE! I also bought those glass bulbs, and lamp oil for my Shabbos Lecht, so that is cool. Life is boring, as usual. Please continue to daven for those that I have asked you to daven for in the past. Yosef Eliyahu Ben Malka Ita, Serach Dena Bas Meira Malka, and Tova Rena Bas Sara. Happy Sunday y'all.....

update

Ok quick medical update for those of you who care. I went to my doc (as opposed to Patient First) Thursday cause my ears were still clogged and it was pissing me off. He looked at my ears and said "wow that must hurt!" Turns out that the first antibiotic did NOTHING for me. He gave me a script for a much stronger one, and a script for steroids, and he gave me some shpritzy stuff for my nose, which he said was swollen as well. I went to the pharmacy, and even with my insurance the damn medicine cost me 95 bucks!!!!! That is the bad news, the good news is that even with only 1.5 days of the steroid in me, I am feeling MUCH BETTER! My hearing is coming back, which is good, because I was beginning to fear that I had permanently messed them up. Ok that is it for the update. Belated Happy Birthday to Efrex, who is older than me. Thank you to all of you who remembered my birthday this year, and to those of you who did not, no biggie, G-D willing I will have another one next year!
Shabbat Shalom to all, and to all a Good Shabbos!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!

it broke it broke!!!!!!!!!

I think I am out of the woods. It appears that my fever broke today. Still feel like crap, but not quite so achy and dizzy.....
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY ZANNA HO ZANNA

I know that this makes no sense to most of you, and that is ok. Hamavin Yavin! Nuf Said! I had an AMAZING weekend. First of all, Happy New Year to everyone, this one should be amazing and full of Brachot and Mazal for us all! Shout out to E&J who have put up with each other for 4 years, and are still disgustingly lovey-dovey. It should continue for many many more! We had a great Shabbat, followed by the greatest theater experience any fan could have. Pre- Show hang with our friend who was in the show, and meeting the cast followed by LONG post show hang out/catch up with our friend L, who is so amazingly talented! Shout out also to N'il who is now technically Dr. N'il. The good Lord willing she will not be my neighbor much longer b/c she will be employed by the Federal Government. Anyway, that is all for now. David if you read this, Efrex and his wife were here for Shabbat, and we had a showtune filled weekend, and thought you should know!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodbye Jerry

What can I say. I sit here tonight sad. Jerry Orbach died last night. I do not think I even knew he was sick. Turns out he had prostate cancer. I loved him on Law & Order, but really he was a Broadway actor. He was in some of my fave shows, including Chicago. He could sing, and dance, and act. The trifecta! Anyway, just wanted to let you know in case you didn't.
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another Saturday Night......

That seems to be a common title to my Saturday night posts. First of all. Mazal Tov to B&B on the birth of Gechalilit! (ok so her real name is Eleora Leah) Hamayvin Yavin...... Mazal Tov to E&J on their anniversary (I think it is the 4th). That takes care of the mazal tov portion of the program. A little later in the evening I will return to my teenage roots and go babysit. I mean really, babysit. How old am I again?? Oh yeah, and Brat had a birthday last week, she is 24. I know, hard to believe. Anyway, Chanukah is over, I hope y'all had a chag urim sameach! Those of you who want to talk to me who have my cell feel free to call
F OUT!!!

MAZAL TOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mazal Tov, B&B who had a baby girl Shabbos morning. More details as I get them!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A FREILICHEN CHANUKAH!

A Happy Chanukah to those of you that are celebrating it. Tonite is the 5th night, which is sometimes referred to as "the darkest night" of chanukah. It is called this because it is the only night of Chanukah that cannot possibly fall on Shabbos. For a really interesting vort on this go here. http://www.treppenwitz.com This is the blog of a man who made Aliyah with his family, and is very informative. Anyway, that is all for me, debating whether or not to order a pizza.
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I FILED MY DIVORCE PAPERS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TIME MARCHES ON..........

Ok so I just realized that I have not posted since the day of the elections, or the day after...... I have been remarkably busy at work. In fact, the fact that today is Sunday means NOTHING and I will head into work for a few hours. Of course I think that my boss did it on purpose, so I would miss the game today. The RAVENS take on the DALLAS COWBOYS. We will see how that goes, but I am not too worried, after all the Cowboys are not exactly having a stellar season. In any case, I will not get to watch, since I will be supervising the washing of the dishes at work. On a completely different note, can you believe that Thursday is Thanksgiving already? I will (surprise, surprise) be working on Thursday. Only half a day I hope. My Abba and my sister will be here for the meal, which I still have to find time to cook. I may have to give up my chavrusa on Tuesday, which I really do not want to do........ I think I will start to cook tonite, and I might actually *gasp* buy dessert instead of cooking it. Anyway, F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 more years.....

Well, it appears as if Saturday Night Live will have 4 more years to make fun of "W". I have no idea if that is a good thing or a bad thing at this point. Anyone who knows me knows how conflicted I was before voting yesterday. I really disliked both candidates, and I think our country is in a sad state when people go to the polls trying to figure out which candidate they hate less. I need to make Aliyah, that is the conclusion that I came to. I mean, I knew that anyway, but this just caps it. "W" has had 4 years, and has done a whole lot of nothing, but I guess we should give him a chance to prove that he can finish what he started.... I dunno, I guess I am kinda ambivilant (sorry Hon). However on a completely different note... how about dem RED SOX. How cool is that??? VERY EXCITED. Being an Orioles fan, you cannot help but dislike the Yankees, and anyone who beats them is OK in my book. Anyway, I am going to go lay down, since I seem to have the plague........
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

ALRIGHT ALREADY!

Ok, I get it. I have been informed that I have been slacking in my blogging (you know who you are!) So here it is, yet another so exciting glimpse into my life. Let's see. Yesterday was the english anniversary of my mother's passing, so that sucked. Friday was 1 calendar year since my jack-ass of an ex-husband walked out on me for no particular reason, so that sucked too. My boss was in New York today, so that was actually MUCH fun!!!!!!! I am doing laundry, which is boring, but must be done! That is about it, strangely my life is not so exciting!
F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday, rainy Sunday

Well the weather here in B'More absolutely SUX today. I mean, beyond belief sux. It is rainy, and misty, and cold, and blech! Today is the perfect day to stay in my flannel pants and sweatshirt and watch the RAVENS stomp the hell out of the Bills. I hope everyone has a fun day.
F OUT!!!!!!!!!

Yitgadal v Yitkadash......

Today is Lamed Tishrei, which is my beloved mother's first yartzheit. Please say extra Tehillim for Necha Etta Bat Fruma. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
