Thanks so much for refreshing my old memory. BBM didn’t tell me what *yitbos* means. I was thinking of someone else. Whatever that other person told me, I still can’t remember.
Age is challenging. ;o)
Thank you so much for the link.
We’ve lost an extremely good FRiend. ;o(
Fond memories from way back when we used to go round and round in the “Alley”! He was quite the character. Won’t be the same without him. RIP and YITBOS.
