Jews Of Our Lives: Kvetching Through The Glass Prune-Spit Juice Jar>Act Three

Yenta is into one upmanship. She always has to be one better than the next. She always has to be right. No one can compete with Yenta, but when you challenge her position and make a better suggestion, she will always answer with “whatever.” This is her temper-tantrum way of saying that she doesn’t like the situation and she won’t stand for it. It’s either her way or no way.

Whenever anyone challenges her position, she will often say, “You don’t know me.” Well, if no one knows you, why not be more forthcoming instead of showing your trump card all of the time? Whenever Yenta throws an adult-sized tantrum, she will remark, “Oh, they’ll talk anyway,” meaning she only wants the world to hear her voice, which to her is the only voice that matters.

Yenta is similar in behavior to Aries, Les, Zisapunim and Shammes, who are all into control and mega-power trips. I call them control freaks. For this mere reason, I don’t see on the same level with her and it shows, especially when she is disrespectful. Once a Yenta, always a Yenta. Her name suits her well. Yenta is in her late 40s and lives in Baltimore, Maryland.

Similar in syntax is Kayzeegee, who is quick-witted and sharp with her tongue. A long time ago, whenever I would speak to Kayzeegee, she has said she works at a publishing company that censors reading material, i.e. books. When I asked her how she could work for such a company, she angrily snapped at me and told me she worked her way up the ladder “in the business” from a kind-hearted boss several years ago who showed her the ropes. In layman’s terms it probably means she slept with him.

Some people it turns out, can be pathological liars, so it was no surprise that she tried to pass off a photograph of saying she was 38, when in actuality it turned out to be her daughter.

Cleverness and quick-wittedness does has its downfalls, however, especially when one tries to cover all of their bases; it’s called being shallow. When words are minced, but not used for merely the intention, rather crafty and yet I have to hand it to her, she sees to hit it off well with Les & Zisapunim, although Zisapunum denies any link with her.

She slithers like an escaped reptile on the loose; always running, always hiding from someone or something. Needless to say we don’t hit it off at all and for good reason.

One time, I recall, when I was involved with Flowerpower, another chatter, we cornered her in a room together and asked her why she dissed us so much, which she of course denied and exclaimed, “What kind of pig do you think I am?”

A snotty pig; a Bud Powell braggart lonely spinster pig who is nearly 60, divorced and lives in Society Hill, a fashionable, upper-crust suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
.

Then, there’s Soulm8ted Sunshine, a seemingly happy woman. From time to time, she greets everyone who enters into the chat-room whenever she is present. She is sort of like an unofficial greeter. She is pleasant in demeanor and a good conversationalist of that there is no doubt, but she has one downfall and that is her huge obsession with pop singer Neil Diamond!

It’s not so bad to be an obsessed fan, but to people who come into the chat-room, it can be a little annoying. Sometimes clowns like Shammes and Yenta will cloak themselves under different screen-names and come back claiming they are Neil Diamond ad do typical things to pacify her. Soulm8ted doesn’t buy into the bullshit, thank goodness!

Other chatters such as Kayzeegee, Les & Gemini make fun of her to no end. Gemini also spreads vicious rumors and lies about her, but then again, what could one expect from a drunkard, anyway? Still, there are others that go out of their way to hurt Soulm8ted and that’s not right either. Yes it is true that she is obsessive, but it’s the mania that goes with being a fan of a famous pop singer. Even I jive and jest her about Neil Diamond, but it’s all done in fun.

Soulm8ted is one of the kinder and more warm-hearted women chatters whom I've met in there, which for that room is a rarity indeed! Soulm8ted is in her mid-50s and lives in Canada.

This following story is true; no names have been protected to hang the guilty, while others have been praised as the truly innocent. It seems like all the right elements to make a good religious cult, but it also sounds a bit like a soap opera on television or cable, right?

No!

Afraid not!

Welcome to the world of http://www.jewishstreet.com/, an Internet Jewish chat-room on the world-wide web, where real lives play out like some big bad soap opera, day in, day out. Quite frankly, it’s pathetic and downright hilarious, too! So friends, until the next installment, give the room a visit, won’t you?
