matjes for my husband; in cream sauce for me 🙂
my husband loves his p’tcha!! (personally, ugh!) he eats it with a shtickel challah
I’ve been here since Dec., 2 full months now; but I’ve been reading posts for about a year?
“The new name is always in front of the old name. (i.e. Rina becomes Chaya Rina and not Rina Chaya)”
JayMatt19~ when I received an added name (as mentioned in a previous post above… not being because I was sick, B’H) it was added after my birth name.
and come to think of it: my mother-in-law, A’H, received an additional name AFTER her first two given names.
IMHO= in my humble opinion
I also worked in credit & collections in the past.
It was very wrong of the store owner to get in touch with you.
Ignore it, don’t get involved.
very few.. basically only to my children and husband; I also use my cell phone very little, but it’s veryy handy to have!
digibochur~ I know a woman named Rashi. for real.
smartcookie~ you are spot on with your post.
a biggie: I would never have started smoking.
I would have learned how to drive.
all I needed was Shabbos, & being off the computer to give your original question more thought. sorry 🙂

I will even use ‘Sir’ when speaking with a grocery deliveryman. as I said in another post: you get what you give (in most cases.)
Ofcourse~ nope! of course (lol), I didn’t give it a whole lotta thought, but going over in my mind the biggies of life… same answer. and I’m a BT, had quite a past, was married prior to my present marriage, now have some health issues, but still remain very happy with the life I’ve lived & wouldn’t want to change any of those experiences… they made me who I am. 🙂
laughing out loud again, Mod!! 😀
daven for CLARITY
I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Chasdei Hashem.
“was told to add a name to make it better (whatever that means) “
we don’t know what it means.
in my case, when Rav Fisher, ZT’L, got to my older son’s name in the kvitel, that’s when he told my husband I needed another name. a few years later, my son married a girl with the same name as mine, = then we didn’t have the same name.
I don’t know how to describe ‘the nature’ of a child. when they’re young enough not to have learned behavior from those around them (parents/sibs)… but you still get a sense of their ‘personality’.
Goq– the topic is: ‘is blabbing in the CR theraputic?’ 😉
eclipse~ refuah sheleima b’karov! 🙂
“She changed her name (with a kiddush and e/t), made sure e/o called her by her new name”
not so simple. Rav Fisher, ZT’L, of the Eidas Hareidas in Yerushalayim, gave me an extra name after my husband brought in a kvitel with our whole immediate family’s names. besides what was mentioned above, we had to get a new ketubah as well!!
my husband’s Mima Yenta now calls herself Yehudit
cb1- I had a 7 1/2 hr. surgery done by a “top surgeon/head of the dept” in Maimonides and guess what? he did a great job! B’H!
I had a different surgery done by a “top surgeon” in Maimonides, and guess what? he did a great job! B’H!!
IMO~ mildly inherent, midos are learned behavior: they have to be taught to be learned.
Albert Einstein said ‘what are the 3 best ways to bring up a child?’ answer: 1) by example 2) by example 3) by example.
dealing with staff: it’s also due, in great part, to how you treat others: smiles, kind words, respect… you generally get back what you give (in most cases).
Mazel Tov!! Wishing Much Nachas to All!! 🙂
My amazing sister-in-law & brother-in-law had many foster children over the years. B’H!
One boy they married off; the couple resides in a neighborhood nearby, & then they raised the couple’s son! I believe he’s already a bar mitzvah.
Another boy, whom I remembered as a baby sitting in a bouncer-type seat on their floor, I then re-met years later as a schoolmate aquaintance of my younger son. (he was happily back with his real family.)
A groisser yasher koach to Foster Parents!
how about: “duh”, sometimes pronounced “du-uh” or “duhhhh!”
“Pippy Longstocking”– one of my faves 🙂
Sac & dunno– sounds like you two should become facebook friends! j/k 😉
Maimonides. I had B’H 4 great birth experiences there, & 2 great surgery experiences there.
observanteen– well said!
it seems it’s very easy for people to ‘arm-chair’ pasken… living the experience is soo hard! I emphathize.
on Tues.- I start thinking about what I’m going to make.
on Wed.- I think some more 😉 & make my e-mail grocery order.
on Thurs.- especially with these short Shabbosim, I’ll start some of my cooking.
on Fri. morning- I’ll finish up my cooking, but usually still have something in the oven or on the stove… to be put on the blech right before Shabbos by my husband.
I’ve been trying to light candles a few minutes early in the zechus of certain cholim whose names have been sent by friends, (& Klal Yisroel).
as a kid: an artist
as a teen: a biologist, & then I wanted to help find the cause/cure for cancer after my Mother, A’H was niftar suddenly from brain cancer.
eye color?!?!
metrodriver– on my husband’s side we have ka’h a bunch of Shprintzas, Frimchas, & Roizas ..
I personally love those cousins (from Willi, Monroe, & Monsey). I was SUCH an obvious BT back in the day & they were always soo warm to me. I admit it was, @ first, very offputting to see the kupkas & shpitzels, but the ladies were very nice. thanks also to a great shvigger, A’H, & most charming, wonderful sister-in-law, as intermediaries. 🙂
thanks for the speedy response & validation.. I was only trying to clarify things, because people were debating what IMHO were the wrong issue. …..:-D
Mods- last night I tried posting something on the onlysimchas thread. it was deleted twice, no explanation. when I tried a 3rd time, I specifically asked: ‘Mod, please explain why my comment is inappropriate’. again deleted, no explanation. I was just trying to say: ‘maybe the posters were referring to the engagement photos, as opposed to the wedding pictures.’
Mod 80– you usually, participate on topics, are vocal, & explain things… please be so kind as to respond. My feelings were really hurt; I felt insulted; I logged off, & haven’t made a comment since. inotherwords, I took it very personally. thank you.
I was not the one who moderated them. However, you are correct that there was nothing wrong with your noting that usually the pictures on onlysimchas are engagement pictures. I don’t know why they were deleted, but I hesitate to undo what another moderator did. I and we are sorry.
so don’t enjoy the pictures of my daughter’s & son’s weddings that went up there last year! B’H
I enjoy seeing it & hearing it.. looking out the window from my toasty house, B’H.
as an aside: thank you grocery deliverymen for coming out in this sleet, frozen rain, hail or whatever it is & howling winds!!! 🙂
well said above, bpt (to Rikki).
funny about FFB/TAB … when I first saw it I thought FFB’s who went to TAB (High School).. as my 2 sons did.
bpt– yes on your 2 * points:
an FFB who goes off (sometimes just somewhat) & returns = CBT
BT = born to non-frum parents, returns to roots (not necessarily as an adult, can be younger).
[my husband said you can still call a CBT a BT.]
I heard that in the secular world, for the last 3 yrs, the most popular boy’s name is Jacob.
Derech– LAUGHING OUT LOUD!! ;-D
showerzinger– trust me, I was shocked! I couldn’t believe someone would be that shallow.
but then again, I was never asked about plastic plates, tablecloths, etc.
believe it or not:
several years ago when my daughter was in shidduchim someone asked me how tall she was, (5’1 1/2″),& then proceeded to tell me that it wasn’t shiach because the boy she was thinking of was 6’1″ & didn’t want so short of a girl!! …obviously, so not beshert! (btw- my dghtr’s husband is 6′).
bpt- sorry! CBT.. chozer b’teshuva
