mepal: no it doesn’t really because when they asked me why i want to come i answered well i finished high school… it is not really that hard
but yes it does add some difficulty (everyone older than you, keeping up, etc.,)
But if you’re a “macher” like you claim to be, you’ll be just fine!
well excuse me i never said i was a macher (maybe you can point it out?) (i was just fed up with the english program they had at the high school being that i had already learned what they were doing in twelfth grade (unless that is your definition of “macher”)
A Mini Cooper S melting? I think not!
Oops just gave the game away- where’s that edit button- fast!!!
yossi, whoops! Sorry, really no intentions to offend you! You just claimed to be “a riot” (you and your nephew your age) so I just figured…
noitallmr, I formally apologize. I misunderstood you. In that event, the driveway would be permissible. Please dont attempt to get a Mini Coop past our front door! Oh. And you said the word. So just make sure….
Kapusta I’m here!! WE’RE the same age 🙂
shaatra, oh! thank heaven! someone whos not over the hill yet! 😉
mepal, significantly? (as in yossis two years or seriously?) i thought you were not too much older. you know (and I assumed were the same age) as lgbg who recently got married. btw, kapusta wont melt, but it’ll probably spoil. 😉 we’ll have to work that one out.
yossi, thats so cool! I know a smaller school (not mine) closed so everyone in my grade (at that point 11th) graduated a year early. I was so jealous!
kapusta, ok, ok, I’m not THAT old. Its just that I didn’t quite graduate last year. Oh, and what makes you think lgbg and I are the same age? She’s actually younger than me (I think;) by a few months!!
worried about the spoiled kapusta? just send it over fresh when I officially announce my b-day!
fine, sounds good. But you’ll have to let me know in advance. How are you gonna figure out that one?
btw, I’ll expect some return kapusta for when I come back. and maybe a party or two. 😉
hmmm, gotta think of a good way to let you know in advance. Maybe I’ll let you know when you can begin buying the ingredients 😉
and you gotta teach me how to make kapusta if you want some. or better yet, you might just want to make it yourself and share it with us cuz if I make it, chances are it’ll flop 😉
I’m considering having kapustas kapusta making class. 😉
basically there are two ways. One is the reformed american version of stuffed cabbage, and the other is the traditional classic hungarian method. Both are awesome.
American reformed version:
freeze a head of cabbage…
ok, I’ll spare you the details. I do really know.
as the queen, I’ll let my loyal subjects book the location for the kapusta making course. DONT FORGET! 😉
and maybe I’ll ask the nurse to come, in case anything goes wrong. jk jk, dont worry, I’m not expecting anything.
lol kapusta! Well guess what? I really have no chayshek to learn until I absolutely MUST! I really dont like working with food cuz I find myself washing my hands like 350 times in the process. Hey! Maybe I can HIRE you once I’m married! That would be sooo cool!
mepal: well if you meant that then i guess, but i would probably have to build a circle of friends first (sorta like what i did here)
kapusta: the slight difference being that they didn’t do it on purpose but not to worry i still (most of the time when allowed) hold myself on the level of my peers (this includes EVERYONE around my age)
yoss, just walk in with your head held high, nose in the air and you’ll be fine 😉
mepal, do you think I would actually allow myself to be hired by a friend?
yossi, thanx for including us little folks in that.
oh come on now you are belittling yourselves! 😛 what i meant was that being in beis medrash and all i don’t always get to “hang out” with people my age (which would include you, sorta mepal, moish?, jax?,….)
kapusta, yes, I think you would do anything for me 😉
btw, you checked out the ‘random questions’ thread-how I dealt with my fishy garment?
being that the Outrage thread was closed, I’ll post the headline here:
Hagon Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkle Says Going To Hafganos Is Forbidden
areivim: I think it’s very wise what he did.
(notice 1st time i abbreviate ur username)
What is the story with Rabbi Finkle? Is he the rosh yeshiva or not?
postsemgirl:Of course he is the main Rosh Yeshiva although there are a few.
Harav Ezrachi, Harav Levovitz, Harav Carlebach,
Bein hasdorim- I thought he wasn’t really acting Rosh Yeshiva because he isn’t feeling well. Anyway I don’t know much about Yeshivos.
“Anyway I don’t know much about Yeshivos. “
Im”y you’ll get into shidduchim soon! Then you’ll know TOO much!
bein_hasdorim- you in R’ Osher Areily’s Shiur?
To all those that felt free to condemn our gedolim…
In addition to HaRav Finkel’s letter to the yeshiva, Hagaon Rav Moshe Shternbach put out a letter- to the klal. See the headlines
noitallmr- I am in shidduchim. I just ask my brothers-in-law about if the yeshiva is normal. I try not to get into it.
noitallmr: initially, then went to another, sry can’t say which,
for anonymity purposes.
postsemgirl: “I try not to get into it”. Just a suggestion, you should try
to get a vague idea, like this you could understand what the boy is about.
The same way guys look into diff sem types.
bein hasdorim: You are right. I do know which yeshivos I would not like the boy to be from and which ones are okay for me. But the whole checking out the specifics I leave to my very capable brothers-in-law. I don’t think boys know exactly which seminary they want the girl to be from. Or do they? I don’t know because I’m not a boy. But I would think they know something about seminary.
postsemgirl- you are 100% right not to delve into the aspects of Yeshivas- not because of frumkeit just its a waste of time. Us guys know all the ins and outs of every yeshiva and it sounds like you have a perfectly capable brother in law who will know far more than you will ever know even after going into it…Loads of Hatzlocho and I really hope you find your bashert b’korov!
Noitallmr: Amen. Thank you. Could I ask you a question? Do boys know all about the seminaries?
noitallmr: get a vague idea is not delving in.
postsemgirl: I can’t speak for all boys worldwide,
however in my circles, pretty much! We have sisters in sem,
we hear from you girls about sems,(& what goes on in some)
& we guys & fill our friends in, as do u girls.
maybe not as much! 🙂
bein hasdorim: I guess it’s just funny to me because I don’t have brothers. Or maybe because I never thought about it that a boy would say he only wants a girl from certain seminaries like I would say that I only want a boy from certain yeshivos. I wonder if my seminary is on the good list. Anyway I hope boys don’t sit around discussing seminaries. Do they?
postsemgirl: well to be honest the good guys don’t sit around at all and especially not discussing sems! But unofficialy yeah we do know about sems a bit as bein hasdorim says that those of who had sisters in sem used to be filled in on the info by them. But I’m quite sure you spend more time discussing it then us! And don’t be shy- all questions send my way…;)
noitallmr: I didn’t mean that you sit around, it’s just a term. Anyway I guess that makes sense. We don’t really discuss it much. We do discuss shiduchim though. I never thought about it in that way that boys would discuss shidduchim. I guess I never thought about what boys discuss. We get together and shidduchim does come up because we are all in it. Does that happen by boys?
postsemgirl- it sure does! It wasn’t too long ago that I was in the Parsha and we DID used to discuss Shidduchim but only with your really good friends that you can trust to keep your secrets…the last thing you need is stuff like shiduchim getting into the infamous “grapevine”!
Are girls very open to each other regarding shidduchim?
noitallmr: In my circle of friends we don’t really get into details but with one or two friends I would discuss some things openly. Every girl has her own feelings on the matter. For example some girls would be very insulted if their friends didn’t tell them that they were getting engaged but others (like myself) see dating as something private and therefore don’t need to know when their friends are about to get engaged. All my friends know already that I’m not going to tell them before I get engaged.
we don’t discuss specific boys. But we do yenta and say “o so’n’so is going out.” We talk about what type of boy we want. Or how it’s so annoying that some boys are only looking for money or yichus. Just the normal things I guess.
Totaly different question but I always wondered why boys think it’s cool to smoke. Why is it such a big thing in Yeshivos?
postsemgirl, I’ve got brothers and guess what? They yap about the sem’s! Its really not so nice since just because a girl went to a certain sem, doesn’t necessarily mean she’s that type. Without going into specifics, I’m sure you know what I mean. About the smoking, I’d assume that if the ‘cool’ guys are doing it, everyone else would feel a ‘pressure’. Like, I assume the most daring boy of the class would try smoking way below 18. That’s how it all begins, IMO.
noitallmr, I’m really shocked that you said that! The way I see it, the boys dont stop talking (to their friends) about their dating! Its only normal to occur if you have a bunch of boys in a dorm all dating at the same time. Maybe its different in the good ‘ol Great Britain. Wouldn’t know.
Well mepal- I’ve been there and done that. yes I am talking more about English guys and we tend to keep things, not majorly private, but not very open either. We see dating as a more private section of our life and to be honest I think that is the way it should be. Obviously every guy needs a friend or friends to discuss it with thats very natural, I had friends and we told each other most things but I’d still call it private…
postsemgirl- yup sounds like just the normal things…about smoking, there is zero reason why it should be cool to smoke absolutely zero. But the fact is that its called a chilled thing in todays society to just “chill and have a cig”. I think it’s because it’s just a don’t careish thing to do. I know it’s unhealthy and I know people will look down at me but I just don’t care two hoots which makes it cool. Sadly not caring what people think about you is called “cool”. Yes I agree that it is a major advantage in a way but it can be a major disadvantage if you have too much of it.
mepal: People generalize about everything. We do it with yeshivos also.
noitallmr: Thanks for the explination but I guess I will never understand what is cool about smoking. I think it is just plain old disgusting!
True. But did you ever hear these boys discuss BJJ? Pathetic…
(reference to an earlier post)
i do agree that although where a person is doesn’t say who they are now but it very easily could influence them in the long run thereby it would kinda be saying that it is who they are
noitallmr: hey nice to see ya around here buddy! i just quickly glanced at the last posts on here, saw about smoking! i remember a while ago, you were talking about a book on smoking, what was it called? i wanted to get it for someone i know!
WELCOME BACK JAX!!!
kapusta: thank you, i see you were gone too, welcome back too!
mepal: I wonder what they say about my seminary! Actually I was once on a bus in Yerushalaim and I overheard two boys talking about seminaries and they came to a decision that my seminary was the best. It was very funny!
jax: nice to see you
postsemgirl: thnks! nice to see you too!
so did i miss anything major around here?! moish was assigned ”head of filling everyone in about the exciting stuff in the CR”! seems like he wasn’t here that much either! so nu what’s happened in the CR while i was gone?!
Jax: Not much. People were discussing the hafganos and normal things like shidduchim and food.
postsemgirl: oh thnks! seems quiet around here!
uh, Jax, can I bring up the sore topic of the fact that in the good ol’ US of A, its tuesday night, which happens to be your DT night… you’re welcome 😉
WHY NO SHMOOZING TONIGHT?!?! WHATS GOING ON HERE?!?!
