always hereParticipant
chayav~ is that what you used to do in the ‘alter heim’ of which you always reference? ….. lol ;-P
always hereParticipantDUH
always hereParticipantmom12~ I’m happy it was amazing for him, B’H! thanks for the tip on the dark glasses they hopefully provide.
I didn’t want to rush into it cuz I figured all the cleaning for Pesach would not provide a good atmosphere for healing… OTOH, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to clean for Pesach efficiently w/ good eyesight.
glad to be getting good feedback. .. thank you! 🙂
always hereParticipantdsl
always hereParticipantmom12~ me!! my first job.. I quit the first day, I’m embarassed to say!! I couldn’t continue to re-arrange the stacks of clothing that continued to be tossed around by just about every customer :/
always hereParticipantI’ve been watching Rebbishe mitzvah tantzes online 🙂
always hereParticipantwhat percentage from the number of invitations sent -or- what percentage of those who responded that they’re coming?
always hereParticipantthanks, nurse.
that reminds me that my (costly) prescription sunglasses aren’t strong enough anymore 🙁
always hereParticipantI hear you, Health.. thanks.
always hereParticipantdoodle jump~ in 2008, I went to Israel for 4 months. when I left my B’klyn home we only had those channels; when I returned we had cable. & that was as recent as 2008! .. (now I have no TV).
always hereParticipantthank you, oomis.
my eye doctor said they’d be done about 2 wks. apart.
happy to hear it went so well for your husband, B’H. just curious: were you able to see the cataract (dense?opaque?) prior to his surgery?
always hereParticipantmy daughters (married) go for the pale pinkish colors, but will go more bold on their toes.
I’m outrageous when I get my few & far between mani-pedi’s. I go for dark– burgundy, rust, etc. … but for my daughter’s wedding I went craazzyy: champagne with a design in black & silver ;-D
always hereParticipanthaha, adorable ‘well meaning’! but it’s ‘affect’, lol 😉
always hereParticipantwhew! ok, thank you, nurse 🙂
always hereParticipantHealth~ same day, in/out.. it’s still removal of your lens & replacement. how long is the replacement viable? are they gonna need replacement again in 10-15 yrs like my knees? 🙁
I CAN see.. that’s my vision without glasses.. the right eye is 850 w/o glasses. I CAN cross the street/I CAN see… that’s why my hesitation: I’m wondering if I should wait ’til it’s reallyy bad; meanwhile, it’s just like a thin veil over my right eye (to me/it’s not visible to others). my green eyes look absolutely normal to me or anyone else.
that’s why I’m going for a 2nd opinion. // thanks for your response 🙂
always hereParticipantwell meaning~ my husband does as his father, a’h, did.
always hereParticipantLia~ my father’s cousin, Sydney Taylor, wrote the ‘All Of A Kind Family’ series!! thanks for remembering her work!! :))
her husband, Ralph, & his brother, Milton, owned Caswell-Massey ~ the oldest pharmacy in America.
AinOhdMilvado~ my father, a’h, used to have a radio/tv repair business.. in the days of tubes.
always hereParticipantmamashtakah~ ah, yes, I remember it well. (Maurice Chevalier)
always hereParticipantLia~ I was responding to Goq’s question about the girl I had been speaking about, not your comment. just to clarify.
always hereParticipantlast year our daughter married a Lubavitcher & their minhag is that all parents & grandparents circle the kallah at the chuppah. my husband’s from a Vishnitz family & refused to participate… he just stood to the side. it sure was crowded under that chuppah!!
(both parents walked our respective child down the aisle).
always hereParticipanthey ZeesKite! the ‘over 40’ thread’s not depressing, lol! we’re celebrating our lives, & enjoying some nostalgia 🙂
February 21, 2011 2:05 pm at 2:05 pm in reply to: Guys-things that a girl does or says on a date that makes you lose interest #743578always hereParticipantI would think being catty or speaking loshon hora. in general, giving off a negative vibe.
for ex.- on a date: commenting about other people, negatively or excessively, -or- speaking negatively about a certain group of people (type of Jew) or Rabbi.
also– coming off too high maintenance, or perhaps, not caring enough about how they’re put together.
JMO.
always hereParticipantTHANK YOU for your responses!
aries~ #1. I don’t drive. #2. reading, & just seeing, is like I have a thin veil over my left eye, but it doesn’t seem THAT bad. #3. last yr’s vision in left eye was 1350, this yr. it’s 1800. she said I’m legally blind w/o my glasses 🙁 but I certainly can still see… hence, my dilemna/dilemma.
the.nurse~ it was comforting to read your response, especially cuz this happens to be your area of expertise! I could google it all I want, but somehow coming from a human here, it’s more reassuring. my eye doctor said there’d be improvement in my vision after the surgery, but I’m wondering if I should do it now– when it doesn’t seem THAT bad– or postpone it ’til I REALLY can’t see out of my left eye….
I also have moderate basement corneal dystrophy in said eye.
I’m in Brooklyn.
always hereParticipant(hmmm.. or is she an ophthalmologist?)..
always hereParticipantspecifically– I’m wondering how bad one’s vision need be to have it done. I’m aware that it’s THE most common surgery… but surgery nonetheless. My optometrist recommended it for both my eyes & wanted to perform the surgeries in March. I pushed it off ’til after Pesach (May), but I’m wondering if I should wait until my vision’s a REAL disability. my left eye is twice as bad as my right eye. I plan on going for a second opinion, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to see if I could get some feedback here. ..thanks.
February 21, 2011 5:29 am at 5:29 am in reply to: Girls- things that a guy does or says on a date that makes you lose interest #742670always hereParticipantI would think showing rudeness or anger.
for ex.- being rude to a waiter, -or- cursing while driving in traffic.
always hereParticipantTums~ ‘once I start dating’?! sweet. I’m B’H happily married to my 2nd husband for 33 yrs., & have 4 grandchildren, ka’h (so far). 🙂
always hereParticipantnevermind! I just read your posts on the ‘over 40’ thread, & it’s my opinion that you’re a child/teen…
always hereParticipantTums~ “90 out of 100 times… Moral? The grass isn’t greener on the other side. Divorce may not lead to a better marriage. (And it may very well be worse.)”
Are you a professional marriage counselor or such? what experience do you have to throw out this info? or is it just your opinion?
always hereParticipanttruth be told~ I saw on another thread you wrote: “A couple of friends whove messed up their lives- yes.” .. these friends have had unsuccessful second marriages?
always hereParticipantthank you ‘canine’~ I havta say that just about all the second marriages I know about do not fall into these dismal stats, B’H.
always hereParticipantcanine~ “It works less the second time than the first.”
and you know this, how?
always hereParticipantI’m assuming it’s cuz they have all hispanics working the registers (?). since she wears pants, I don’t know if they knew if she was Jewish or not.
always hereParticipantyou did the right thing.
always hereParticipantI also find this veryy disturbing.
I know an OTD girl who works for minimum wage @ a treif take-out restaurant. when questioned, she said she couldn’t even get a cashier’s job @ many of the (large) Jewish supermarkets. soo sad…
always hereParticipantgood one, Goq 😀
always hereParticipantcanine~ being arrested it not a joke!!
have you been waiting all this time to hear a juicy tale of woe?
here’s one: I know a young man who was arrested in Israel a few days before Birkat HaChamah… everyone was worried that it would be another 28 yrs until he’d be zoche to recite the bracha.. which would mean he’d be in his 50’s. luckily a Rabbi in the Russian Compound saw him & pulled him outside so that he could say the bracha.
do you want more juicy stories?! like how he was in a cell with 3 arabs, one of whom had a swastika tatoo on his ankle…
is this how you get off?!?! ://
always hereParticipantare you being serious, cuz I don’t know?
Ike = Dwight D. Eisenhower
always hereParticipantwell meaning busy body~ huh?
always hereParticipantMy weekly consultation invoices were submitted typed with a carbon copy for myself 🙂
always hereParticipant“Many Rebbish families are makpid on not white.”
Of all the weddings I’ve been to, or seen pictures of, I’ve never not seen white; unless you’re speaking of different shades of white: ivory, cream, etc. .. which still all look white.
I’m curious as to what colors you are referencing…
always hereParticipantI truly have never been to havdala services as moving as those on the Moshav (Modi’in) led by Ben Tzion Solomon, one of the founders of the Diaspora Yeshiva Band, in his front yard … I get all misty. (sometimes I’ll look/listen to one on youtube.)
always hereParticipantI’m a little surprised a Mod is still up 😉
always hereParticipantNo, B’H!
always hereParticipantwe are Mommy/Tatty or Ma/Ta.. & Bobbe/Zeidy
always hereParticipantsorrrry
always hereParticipantI thought chayav’s a girl now. I thought stamagoy gave over his chayav name to his sister —>??
always hereParticipantDaas Yochid~ I thought it was implied. otherwise, in that case, sorry. (as I said, I’m responding emotionally.)
always hereParticipantif I’m a lost, yellow log will I post?
hahaha, I needed that 😉
always hereParticipantpersonally, we do NOT daven at a Carlebach minyan.
but with the apparent sinas chinam displayed towards one group of mispallelim, (in this case, Carlebach minyan),I wonder about the tolerance of some towards the davening styles of others that may be unlike that of the poster, i.e. Sephardim, Shomrei Emunim, Lubavitch…
I did not mean to insult anyone, but responded (albeit emotionally) to the presumptiveness of one who seemingly insinuated that trop is compromised because of singing during davening.
