And, this is a big one: because of her Yiddish lessons, I'm now seated at better tables at Nate N Al during the sharp-elbowed Beverly Hills lunch rush. <br /><br />Seriously, none of us pays Mama Dearest anything for the enjoyment of her entertaining and often educational blog...with the benefit of participating in the comment section.

This Rabbi person pontificates a lot (and I love it) but no more than some of the other regulars around here who also and at length spout off about the details of a property. How is what rabbi doing any different than your own frequent (and often funny) commentary which is also loaded with opinion and meow-y judgement?

Since when has this become a platform for a half-baked self-imposed matriarch (LOL) dictating what Real Estalker should and should not be. Ya, I'm blunt. No apologies. <br /><br />I stop in after OD'ing on <i>real</i> architctural/art history homework for a fun mindless breather, a few ribald <i>Meows, and playful asides.</i><br /><br />Will still post when I please with ribald playfulness of the old days -- rather than be frenemies with this insecure pseudo-intellectual Rabbi tool.Sabdpipernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-3514002707238408772014-02-17T17:19:09.991-08:002014-02-17T17:19:09.991-08:00Anyone notice that the "maid's" room...Anyone notice that the "maid's" room is smaller than the walk in closet in the master bedroom?
