    I, personally, would PLOTZ if a man, especially a very frum looking one, told me something about my appearance that would embarrass me.

    OTOH, I would greatly appreciate it if a woman would tell me.

    minyan gal~ I tend to agree with you.

    (speaking for nowadays….)

    I am giving the gift to the couple, not the parents.

    that the parents for some reason didn’t give to my children doesn’t come into play.

    I do not give according to what the affair is costing the parents… but if I know that making the affair is a real hardship on the parents, I try to give a little more to the couple.

    my early ‘memories’ are definitely because of photos, but I remember a birthday party for me under a big tree in the country: my age was probably between 6/7-10?

    adorable~ excuse me, but where did I say I was ‘JUST watching TV’?!

    the line above says: ‘playing, reading…’ … saying that my young son & I watched one show that we both enjoyed, where someone creates a nature landscape in 1/2 hr., hardly precludes us doing many more activities together. in addition ‘baby belly’ implies I was pregnant. & why then, would it mean I should have a babysitter?!

    mademoiselle, I’m sorry, but you presume too much.

    hope I don’t sound harsh… 🙂

    my oldest daughter went to BYA’s sem in Israel about 9 yrs ago. I don’t remember how many thousands of dollars it cost, but she got a gov’t financial scholarship thru it being a Touro program. when she returned, she worked part-time while going to Touro for her Bachelors & Masters & paid the rest off… it was very doable, B’H.

    OP, sorry I missed your 2nd sentence.

    my husband tried teaching me to drive 33 years ago when I was pregnant with my Bachor.. never happened.

    I’m a very poor passenger as well :/

    I used to dream of driving down to Sheepshead Bay in a convertible with my hair blowing in the wind. (real dreams… during sleep).

    if you win a prize, the amount of money you would have been willing to spend on it is deducted from the maaser amount you donated… you can’t count it as maaser.

    I don’t think I’m being clear on the halacha. sorry :/ [help?!]

    a number of auctions give you a choice of gifts for certain amounts of donations.

    some give a small gift with your admission fee upon entrance.

    LOL Goq!! 😀

    these days, when money is tighter, I also sometimes just put in for the jackpot… I figure if it’s meant to be, then I’ll win. (I haven’t). you have just as much of a chance to win as anyone else… if that’s what Hashem decided for you on Rosh Hashana & sealed on Hoshana Rabba.

    as I said on other threads, I haven’t won ANYTHING in over 2 yrs now. but in 2009, @ one auction, I won 4 prizes.. 2 were jackpot. (one kosher Colorado trip & one bridal gown rental).

    you havta give maaser anyway, so take the chance 🙂

    my DH would laugh if you called me a homemaker.

    I worked for much of my married life. For my first 2 children it was veryy hard: from Flatbush, I took them by car svc,- an infant & toddler – to a babysitting service in BP, then took the express bus to Manhattan; did the reverse coming home.. for 2 weeks out of the month for a year or so. stayed home for a few years, then worked walking distance from my home when the younger two were already in school.

    stopped working in 2001, but started babysitting full-time for my newborn grandson in 2004.. then another grandson.. then a granddaughter. retired again, lol, when she started school @ 2 1/2 y.o. this past Sept. but I still babysit as needed.. I have my 2 grandsons, 6 1/2 & 5 1/2 ka’h, over my house right now 🙂
