Of course you are. So are my cousins, but they all speak Israeli Hebrew. Hence Ashkenazi-speakers.
Oh, and I know absolutely no one who would say "giveress." Israelis would say "giveret," and someone speaking lashon hakodesh would be highly unlikely to use the word at all -- it is strictly an ivrit moderni word.

"Giveret" would've been used maybe 50 years ago, toay no-one pronounces the schewa as a "i". Just - "g'veret".
Anyway, let's get back to dating. Oh, and what are you doing up so early? Tante was telling me to go to bed when her own student is up in the middle of the night?!

rivka's not my student, except in the sense that we are all here to learn from each other. And rivka's a mommy, so she gets to do whatever she wants.
As my Ma would tell me: "Once you are a grown woman, move out of the house, and have your own family, you can make your own rules. But while you are still living in my house, you have to follow my rules."
Nowadays, if my Ma is visiting, and suggests that it is chilly out and I might want to put on a sweater, I remind her of the deal that we had and that I am a grown woman and I don't have to follow her rules. And she can't do anything about it.
I'd date quidscribis, because maybe she would show me around the beautiful places in her tropical paradise, and show me the hummingbirds. Unless the date was at my place, in which case I would show her all the beautiful malls in New Jersey.

Wait until you meet my mother and her mother! That will happen... Never, of course. I care too much about you for you to end up like that.
Also, I'm not surprised you used the "it's cold so wear a jumper" example. Posts: 2978 | Registered: Oct 2004

I'm confused; what the heck is so terrible about wearing a baseball cap? Do people in other countries not wear them? If not, it is because the women there have not discovered how nice it is to *not* have to fix your hair on vacation!
*reminds herself to wear a pantsuit and lots of diamonds when she goes abroad*

And yes, giveress rivka, I do actually know the difference between Aussies and Kiwis: we thrash them in cricket and rugby !
hahahahahah! A joke that's funny, at last!
Spacey, it's not that there's a problem with the baseball caps themselves. I adore not having to do my hair. It's just the people under the hats. Posts: 69 | Registered: May 2005

We beat the All-Blacks last year (it was that silly SA umpire that caused the Poms to just beat us in the end), but we've been the best in the world in Cricket for the past 15 years. There's no match for us!
