Stop the Mama's Boys Hi, Jesse -
My name is Lulu Talyor and I'm the author of a new novel, called: Stop the Mama's Boys...my website www.stopthemamasboys.com will be aired in one week. I enjoyed your article..Yes, it is true that in various parts of the world, it is culturally acceptable, to live at home. In the United States, it is looked at differently, but what is interesting is that in the last ten years, more and more sons are remaining at home..... There is something to be said for independence...the struggle one faces paying their own bills, managing their own life..I have known many people, (having lived in Europe) Europeans, who have remained at home until they marry,...and I think I can safely say that it does affect their 'progression' into adulthood. (not all, but some) It's a very complex topic for sure and I could speak for hours on it..because the mother/son bond is very fragile and impacting on his evolution. It boils down to this: Define the line. Boundaries must be defined. Anyways, if you get a chance, please check out my website..it will be up in one week and will be interactive. I want to hear the voices of all cultures regarding this dilema. Thank you for your time.

Hey there! Just wanna tell you that I'm loving reading your blog. You sound so much like me, in many senses of the word, and I love how you put your feelings, emotions, and concerns on the line - somehow this makes your experiences seem more real-life :) I live in Australia, have been to the Middle East but didn't make it to Israel tho I would have loved to, and hopefully will on my next venture o/s. Good luck with everything, your a real encouragement to me and many others, I'm sure.
refreshing yet again Glad to see you're back to your old self, what with all the sarcasm and pin point remarks about life here on camel county....
Start your day with a smile, read Jessy's blog
Keep it up:)
take your time Hi Jessi!
I love your blog and I envy you for daring to take this step! It's always a little hard in the beginning but you'll make it, just take your time ;-) hebrew is tough but you'll have a "click" at some point and then that will come along too! keep your spirits up and happy new year!
crazy thoughts... you're right - Iraq would be much worse and yes I could Antartica as being potentially really boring. However, at this point I would take boring over not having my job at all.
Thanks for the comments - who are you by the way and where are you from? Mosul?
there are firefighter jobs in iraq? hate to be bearer of bad news but if you think Israel is bad, Iraq is even worse, that is: for women and for women who don't sprecken. and i've been to Antarctica, talk about boring, always white and the clothes are always dirty.
i've been alot of places but you have a lot of guts, moving to the Holy Land and all
happy rosh
Funny and very true this is the funniest story I read in a week. It's true about Tel Aviv feeling "cramped" but then you got to try some of the real cramped ones in Europe of Tokyo. If you feel like giving me some info on your gym or other places in Tel Aviv, please comment or e-Mail to my blog: http://israeltomorrow.blogspot.com -- I am writing about Tel Aviv in a piece meal way and trying to give a positive spin of living and visiting here -- enjoy the rest of the summer, whatever is left of it ;8~)' //AmiV
blog review hi jessi,
i totally sympathize with your shopping experience.
nevertheless, yet again i applaud you on the funny ways you choose to depict your Israel experience, seriously, if i had anything to do with a host show if any kind, i would hurry and sign you up for a year long contract. all you would have to do is show up every week and tell the people in Israel about life here, it's a sure ratings killer, i'm sure!
keep up the good work!
bye!

behatzlacha! (goodluck)
haha cabbies are great! you say ani ohev at. :)
i just went to shabbat with my bank managers family and they have a elite forces son who just got out the army....oy. he's gorgeous. and he's nice. who knows?
and yes...we do have a home depot...but its called home center. same diff :)
Watch out for those cabbies Hi,
So you really have a Home Depot nearby? Wow, I'd be in seventh heaven. I suggest not dating until you get everything else settled. You know how that goes sometimes and you really don't need that type of distraction at this point do you? At least if you do, go out with one of those nice young jewish doctors, preferably one that's not gay
How do you say love ya in Hebrew?
Dad
