Somebody in your building had some crazy mud but in order to create enough ass mud to cause a migrane. Maybe the solution is inviting them to shabbos dinner to help the with there….uhm…regularity?

Laya, your post was hilarious. I wish you better plumbing soon, but “rotting vanilla ass” is great, I have to remember that line.

D, I second Shasta’s comment, the only people I don’t like are haters and terrorists, whether or not they’re Muslim. Same goes for most Jewish people I know – though sadly, not all of them.

Anyways, anyone who wants to get to know me better just has to ask, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, atheist, it’s all good. I love to meet people from different cultures so we can learn from each other. (But I usually try not to talk about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict unless it’s someone I know really well. It’s a bit of a hot-button issue for me.)

Laya, sorry you have to deal with all this muck. But it does bring me back to the days when I was a newlywed living on Rechov Narkiss, and Rachel and I had furniture that kept breaking because it was pre-state, and Israeli college students next door would have raves on Friday night, and the thing they called a washing machine blew up, and we froze to death…aren’t you freezing too? Doesnt that help keep down the smells?

Anyway, I better put away this bottle of wine, and get to business, there is so much to do for Jewlicious.2

I think you should get your mezuzzahs checked, you may have some of the written by palestinian women in nablus variety in there…

And tell David to get this tefillin checked.

And while your checking things, tell Mobius to also check his mezuzahs too.

And as far as smells and their names, I think you are an expert.

D, you didn’t ask me, but I’d like to chime in. The short answer is: the vast majority of Jews absolutely DO NOT hate all Muslims. We only hate the extreme fanatical Muslims who advocate violence and the murder of innocents through, for example, suicide bombings.

But peaceful Muslims? They’re welcome for dinner at my house anytime.

D, I don’t think the Palestinians’ perceived right of return has much to do with Islam. Of course there are some who have a religious take on it, just as there are religious Jews who believe that the land is promised to them by god. From what I understand, many of the Palestinians feel that they were turned out of their homes and want them back. And of course not all Jews hate all Muslims, but there is no shortage of intolerance on our end either.

I have Rehavia pumbing disaster stories too. We’ll share!

D, actually we, Jews and Muslims, have a lot in common in our concept of G-d. When there is peace in the Middle East, I am sure that we will be able to cooperate successfully.

Hello,
Hi. I’ve visited your site before and I thought that it was pretty cool.Very pretty.

OK my comment has nothing to deal with your post really, and i am really sorry about that. It’s just that I’m Muslim and your Jewish, and I have a very bad habit of asking Jews what they think of Muslims. Of course it’s becuase of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. IDK, lately I’ve just been thinking that every Jew hates Muslims, and vice versa— though I know for sure that not every Jewish person hates Muslims, and not every Muslim hates Jewish people (I’m MUslim and I’ve had several jewish friends myself). The Media!!

Anyways… basically, what do you think of Muslims if you don’t mind asking? Do you believe that the conflict is also a religious conflict on the Palestinian side (like do you believe that they believe they have a religious right to the land that is argued over, as the Jews do?)? Anyways…. sorry for my very random comment, but I think that dialogue is important between Muslims and Jews.

Laya- I don’t see why a little ass mud should stop you from having shabbos dinner at your place? If you don’t have this dinner, the ass mud wins.

Ass mud. That’s comedy gold.

Because Rehavia is the high rent district?

Seriously, it could very well be that infrastructure is breaking down. West Jerusalem ain’t such a young place and Rehavia is one of the older neighborhoods. It could well be that either your building’s or the city’s pipes have aged to the point of breakdown.

I would say it’s time for a road trip with pictures.
