Color me a baby boomer, but I can’t help but wonder if we wouldn’t be in this mess if The Love Boat and Fantasy Island were still on TV. I mean, that’s were all of the ‘B’ rated celebs went off to, right? Nu?
Folkh mikh a gayng! Like that’s gonna happen!
Well Mr. T-elect, as you think about repealing the Affordable Care Act for me and my twenty million friends who rely on it, I offer you this lovely and wise Yiddish proverb:
May all your teeth fall out, except for one. And in that one, you can have a tooth ache.
May ale deyn tseyn faln aoys, akhuts far eyn. Aun in az eyner, ir kenen hobn a tson veytik.
Linky’s:
I wonder if any language contains curses to equal Yiddish’s.

Thanks Vidya! It really is a fun, but dying language. It really does get a point across though! Happy Weekend. We just came back from the WOmen’s march in Philadelphia. Unbelievable. More to come I’m sure! xoxo

I like that teeth proverb! I used to say something similar, to nasty, nasty people that I don’t like very much along the lines of: “I hope you fall on your face, break your teeth and then choke on them.”
Oops. :p

That is a fabulous saying. I wish I could offer some words of comfort, but it appears evident from this weekend that President T is a bit fricking loco. I dont know how it will all pan out but my thoughts and prayers are with all my wonderful american friends xx Stay safe xx

That means a lot. One week in and I’d like to go into hiding, but it’s too important to be heard and give my girls the gift of a voice and power. #bigpinklink #neveragain
