oomis your comment about the dog, really made me laugh. I live in an OOT community where there are TOns of dogs, and people treat them like – companions. It’s really scary, how they talk to them… someone once explained to me that it’s because dogs are very loyal and loving. You can scream and let out your anger and frustration on it and it won’t hold a grudge. It won’t be insulted and demand respect, like people do.
and a personal bakasha from everyone, we can talk about marriage but lets make sure its in a tzniusdike fashion. (you don’t have to get defensive i barely read the thread, i’m just pointing something out.)
