Another weekend in Yaffo

Alright... this weekend should be busy.... People should be coming over to have a look at my things... woohooo... it's finally happening... you can not even imagine, how this feels. Pretty strange to be honest but great at the same time.

I really hope, that most big things are sold by the end of the week and that next week, I have someone who takes the Antiques. (I still have to get someone to check the value of the furniture).... Yeah.. I know... I am slow.. but .. it will happen next week, I promise.

So this weekend.. some selling.. laundry and some more cleaning.. and then I hope end of next week will be the time to get the animals ready for the "Pension".... well two cats need to get fixed before they go.. but that should all happen in the next two weeks. They all need their shots and then they are off to a super nice place in the north..

Gosh.. I already miss them... lol..

Anyways.. once the Zoo is gone.... there is no more "going back"... the renovations will start right away.... and as soon as this is done.. the house will be on the market. :) I can't believe it.. if I am lucky.. the house will be on the market before end of July 2009...

Keep your fingers crossed, that everything will work out smoothly... and that I am on my way to the USA for a long deserved trip and to finally start my future very very very soon. :)

Es geschehen noch Zeichen und Wunder.. lol

For the last 5 years I had "wonderful" neighbors.... Horses, Goats, Chickens, Pigeons, Dogs and what ever else you can or cannot imagine in the middle of a city. One of the neighbors decided to occupy the premesis next to me and "build" his very own "Old Mac Donalds- Farm" Thingie.

Well, this is now over and the place is animal-empty. The first night, without all the noise was seriously terrible, I couldn't sleep. Lol.. don't laugh... I am honest.. it was sooo silent.. that it started to freak me out.

So it seems, that Old Mac Donalds was kicked out and the rightfull owner of that lot decided finally to build the house, he wanted to build 5 years ago. Well, I am not surprised, frankly now with the new Waterpipe and Plumbing Stystem they are doing all over the place and the street being done new too, he realizes, that now is the time to build and then make some money. Actually, and no, I am not mean, but I honestly hope, that he is a wee bit too late. lol... He let all of us suffer this "Zoo" for so long... so I do hope, that until he finished building the big "run" on Yaffo is over and he wants such a rediculous price, that he won't find a buyer.

Bitter? Me? Nope... I am the smart one. I am selling my house now... well .. he can't.. because there is no house.. too bad for him... good for me...

Thats how it should be in life... for once.. it seems.. I finally do one step backwards but TWO step forward... :)

Oh Israel...

Yup.. I am still here... damn.... but... things are moving... right now.. I am selling my stuff... work... and ENJOY THE SUMMER...

Yes... we finally have REAL summer.. warm 30C + ... and Sun, Beach and everything else I love about this time of the year. You know what.. I am sure going to miss Summer in Israel... when I think of the 18C in MD... yikes... maybe I should stay in Israel.. hahaha

The dogs wouldn't mind.. they love the beach... but then... in MD we'll be able to travel more.. and see more things.. I am sure.. once there.. we're going to be happy...


Anyway, another weekend... and I hope, I'll be busy. We shall see.

Wishing you a good Shabbos :)

Help the Animals in the south

Not only people suffer from the Rockets that rain down in the south... 

Non-profit organization AHAVA, the association for saving animals, put out a call Thursday for volunteers and funds to save hundreds of dogs and cats that have been abandoned in the South as residents flee their homes from the barrage of deadly rockets.

According to the AHAVA, more than 40 dogs and some 70 cats have already been rescued from the region, 3 of them in serious medical condition.

The association said that it desperately needs temporary homes for the animals, as well as families that are willing to adopt them. In addition, the organization needs donations of food and medicines and pet owners who are willing to donate their animal's blood.

Those interested in helping can leave a message at 09 958 88 33 or email animalsavers@gmail.com.

Mega-orgy in Tel Aviv cancelled due to public pressure

Sex fest scheduled to be held on 'International Orgasm Day' and seeking to promote world peace called off after owner of venue meant to host event caves in to threats

After weeks of preparations for the largest sex event of its kind in Israel, organizers were forced to cancel it this week due to public pressure and threats exerted on the owner of the venue where the sex fest was to take place.

 

The event in question, which was scheduled to take place on "International Orgasm Day," aimed to bring together some 250 participants seeking to promote world peace through multiple orgasms reached by masturbation or sex.

 

The orgy was organized by the Raelian movement, a UFO religion whose followers believe humankind was created by aliens. The group's spokesman, Kobi Drori, said that the orgy was meant to include straights, gays, lesbians and bisexuals, all of them over 18.

 

"The purpose of the event was to try and bring world peace through mass orgasm, this by experiencing consensual sex and natural, uninterrupted pleasure. It was important to make love without feeling guilty or shy," he explained.

 

Drori protested the fact that nowadays the words "war," "violence" and "murder" have become more legitimate than "sex," "orgasm" and "pleasure."

 

"It should be the other way around. Several years ago an Iraqi boy whose limbs were amputated was shown on TV and everybody treated this as if it was okay, but when Janet Jackson exposed her breast during the Superbowl the American nation was appalled.

 

"We wanted to put into practice the saying 'make love, not war'."

 

'Society based on self-fulfillment'

According to Drori, the orgy was just the first in a series of events dedicated to promoting this objective. On January 22 the movement will hold a conference on sexuality and masturbation with experts and writers in the field.

 

He also vowed that the cancelation of this year's orgy would not deter the Raelians from setting up another sex fest next year.

 

The Raelian movement has several hundreds followers in Israel and some 70,000 members worldwide.

"We don't believe in demons, ghosts and gods," said Drori. "The group's primary goal is to inform humanity, without attempting to persuade, regarding scientific messages that deal with the origins of life on earth.

 

"The second goal is to expedite the establishment of a society based on the principles of non-violence, solidarity, self-fulfillment and pleasure. To establish one global currency, one global government and harness science to the service of humanity, and not against humanity," he concluded.

Hanukkah Sameach and Happy New Year 2009 :)

Alright... being busy as usual my blog had to suffer... sorry sorry sorry.... 

What shall I tell you, the end of the year is near and I am still sure about my plans on leaving Israel (surer than ever lol) 

Last week, winter has finally taken over Israel too and yes.. I HATE RAIN.... yikes... yuck... baaahhh... buuhhuuu... etc.

Other than being busy at work (yes, I finally feel like I married my office), I went swimming a lot.. well I try to go 3 times a week... the dogs think that I finally lost it for good.. after all, who wants to get wet and even PAY for that... lol... 

Eating Sufganiot for (hopefully) the last time as an "in Israel living Israeli".... I enjoy every bite of it and of course we light the Hanukkah Candles every night.. say the blessings and the zoo enjoys some "extra" cookies and stuff.. :) all in all, we are happy. 

Today, I am not going to the pool.. yes I know.. shocking.. but I need to get to the speedo store.. and buy some goggles.. mine hurt me when I wear my beloved MP3.. so I have to go and check out some goggles.. :) 

Tonight I guess, I make my winter soup.. chinese kinda .... love it and it has 23049283098 calories each sip.. rofls... and guess what.. YES .. I'll enjoy every sip of it.. 

Alright my dears.... I have to run... keep y'all posted...

Merry X-mas (yes I know I am late)... Hanukkah Sameach and Happy New Year from the Holy Land :) 

Going on...

So, it's been 5 weeks since I decided to leave my beloved and hated Israel... yes.. it is a "love~hate" relationship I have with the country I call "my soul home". Don't get me wrong, I love Israel.... I just don't manage with the ppl that well. And as much as I love my job and working with all the people there.... there is no "going up" from what I do.... and I am just not someone who is happy with "being a secretary" all my life.

I love to deal with people, animals and have action. I have to say, I am positive surprised by the amount of good-wishers I have. It makes me go that extra step and I know, that I am doing the right thing.

Yes it is risky and who knows what might happen, but isn't life about "taking risks"? Funny enough that everyone is sooo sure that I'll be selling my house very fast... just not the Realtors... how come? Well, if I can sell the house privately, even better.

So for now, I am just working, cleaning out stuff and make a lot of research about B'more, shops, suppliers, movers and what ever else that I can find. Lets be very optimistic and hope, that next Pessah I'll be saying "le'chaim" in B'more in my own house and in my own shop!
