And this is in Central Jersey!!<BR/><BR/>Hellooooo… does anyone speak English anymore? </I><BR/><BR/>In my more politically incorrect moments, I've wondered about this myself. They have instructions on the ATM machines in Chinese, English, French, Spanish, etc. I always felt discriminated against because they don't have instructions in the Mama Loshen (as if I speak it anyway) ... but guess what? I was withdrawing some money while visiting the girlfriend and, lo and behold, there were instructions in Yiddish!<BR/><BR/>*<BR/><BR/><I>You wanna wake him up? Play tapes of Yasser Arafat… that will get his blood boiling and will probably cause him to bolt right out of bed!</I><BR/><BR/>Actually this sort of thing works! My grandfather had a rather sudden onset of dementia and for a bit, while not in a coma, was completely farchadat and couldn't really remember anything and was barely aware of his surroundings. His sister, with whom he never got along, finally visited -- she got him all riled up (I guess sibling rivalries you never forget) and he's been, while still bedridden and relatively forgetful and not entirely there, much better ever since.alberichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852752646926946626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18889742.post-1137520191974539682006-01-17T12:49:00.000-05:002006-01-17T12:49:00.000-05:00I have never seen anyone sing into a dress Pumpste...I have never seen anyone sing into a dress Pumpsterdamus except for my trophy wife at our wedding who actually twisted part of her dress into a microphone and proceeded to sing into it at our wedding. Kudos to our sharp eyed cameraman who caught this moment and recorded it for perpetuity!<BR/><BR/>As for Carrie Fisher not wearing much of anything, I think you must be joking... nudity or semi nudity in a Star Wars movie? I find that very hard to believe!<BR/><BR/>And why were you so quiet during last weeks posting about James Van Praagh?Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023116533247424228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18889742.post-1137474481889917232006-01-17T00:08:00.000-05:002006-01-17T00:08:00.000-05:00"Whooaahh, oooh! Livin' on a prayer!" Does Natal..."Whooaahh, oooh! Livin' on a prayer!" Does Natalie Portman sing into *her* dress in Ep.III? Alas, no... and the amazing Pumpstradamus predicts that Carrie Fisher won't, either. In fact, in the final movie, she won't be wearing much of ANYTHING to sing into! How's THAT for a tease! Bwaaahh, hahaha!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
