Haven't Posted Here In A VERY Long Time
Hey friends and fans. It just occurred to me that I haven't posted anything here in several years, since I established my newer blog at Typepad. Please visit me at: FeeFiFoto Blog, and thanks for dropping in here.

Nonsense. "Ish Kabibble" was the stage name of a comedian, the actor Albert Brooks' father, BTW.
"Worry" in Yiddish is "(Tsu) zorgn"
or (Tsu hobn/to have) "dayges."
"Kabibble" is not a Yiddish word.
May I recommend the Weinreich Modern Yidish-English Dictionary.
Huh. That's what I get for trusting Google.
But... Albert Brooks was born Albert Einstein. His father's stage name was Parkyakarkus (real name: Harry Einstein).
It's okay. The whole thing's about jokes anyway.
My bad. Parkyakarkus was indeed Brooks'dad. I erroneously conflated his name with Ish Kabibble.
Sorry, Mr. Kabibble, wherever you are.
Sadly, Ish kabibble is no more.
Who are you?

Hi:
I hope you don't mind, but I hate to see/hear my language mangled.
One does not go "meshuganah;" one goes "meshuge."
Once you have gone "meshuge," you are a "meshugene" (F) or a "meshugener" (M).
(In my dialect, "meshuge" = "meshige," so you would become a "meshigene."
That said, if you want to call yourself Ishkabibble, please note that the "ish" part means "man" (in Hebrew.) You may wish to call yourself "Ishakabibble." ;>)
BTW - love your kids' names.
Peace.
No problem. Thanks for checking in.
