“I agree, and neither would I. I don’t think it’s honest to do that, unless you leave your original screen name first and don’t use it again.”
I agree with oomis.
I’m just surprised no arrests were made!
my DH was in BP late last night (into the wee hours of the morning) @ the Skulener Rebba, Shlita. I hate to think of what might have happened if he had come in contact with this MVA, cv’s.
“I analyze every comment made in reference to my children. though I will say not all mechanchim take it as seriously as you do.”
same here (in the past.. my children are all married now, B’H).
the 2 times I went with my children years ago, we brought a suitcase full of food. (we stayed for 10 days). we had no problem bringing a day’s worth of food- sandwiches, mini-poptop cans of tuna, & snacks- to each park.
Feif Un~ 🙁 .. R’L
Feif Un~ that makes sense to me!
my DH & I took several Meal Mart Meals with us on a trip & I really enjoyed them… the variety & the convenience of no refrigeration needed.
my parents didn’t allow me to skip 3rd grade when it was suggested, but then I was tested before going into 7th grade, was put in a 2 yr junior h.s. program (‘SP’) & skipped 8th grade… but I can’t imagine what my IQ ‘scores’ would be now, all these decades later 😉
Mazel Tov! asach nachas!! 😀
40 & 80 per the D’var Torah I heard in Shul today.
Good Yontif/Chag Sameach to each & every one of you! 🙂
brotherofurs~ rivky101 is gonna go zip lining with her grandmother?! LOL 😉
sem20~ happy birthday! 🙂
popa_bar_abba~ happy birthday!
oomis & husband~ mazel tov!
ICOT~ that’s an amazing-looking cake 🙂
thanks, Mod 80! 😀
mine, too (Chrome).. it’s fine now
gefen~ “yeah i thought you were younger too. you look good for your age 🙂 anyway – i wonder how old ppl here think i am.”
thanks! I had a friend over this Shabbos from Israel; our same age sons had been in the same grade in Yeshiva here. I thought we’re contemporaries but it turns out that she’s 14 yrs younger than me!! :-O
when you showed up here on the CR during the Chicago blizzard, you made mention of your teen daughter/her friends being on here, too;
so I figure you havta be at least 35. but you don’t look a day over 25! 😉
shlishi~ you are correct. but it just looked soo inappropriate on those older gals.. one was walking w/ a grey bearded spouse, and the dress was not at her knees– it was definitely above her knees :/
mewho~ “may all these wonderful neshomas have an aliyah!” – AMEN!!
umm~ please do! 🙂
minyan gal~ my heart hurts for you :'(
hey 123bubby~~ who are you calling a dolt?! 😉
and yes, adorable~ you DO havta use some brain cells & look that word up!! J/K!!! 😉
well, 123bubby [even tho’ I know you aren’t old enough to be one]~ I think ‘smart cookie’ sort of figured out my age & seemed pretty shocked that I’m her mother’s age… & was surprised that us ‘golden oldies’ even know how to use a computer & get on the internet!! ;-P
martini… shaken, not stirred! 😉
I must admit that today I got a big shock to my reality.
a friend is visiting from Israel & we were sitting on my porch. she was telling me about how surprised she is by how soo many women are wearing above-the-knee skirts, but especially surprised by the number of ‘older’ women doing so. as we sat on my porch we saw a few examples of this walk by: a youngish married gal I was a little surprised by, but a couple of women in their forties! I had been reading about it here in the CR, & read about it in letters to the Jewish newspapers, but I figured they were talking about girls/ young women.
when I go to shul I don’t pay attention to what the women are wearing, but I have a feeling that this Shavuos I may pay closer attention to the skirt lengths… especially of ‘older’ women.
agree, ICOT! :/
as an aside– I love that there is a hair donation organization that gives ‘peyos’ to those that are in need of them (due to chemo).
it also gets said aloud by some during bentching. disturbing.
good thread, Goq! thank you.
My Mother, A’H.. gone 43 yrs; she died suddenly @ the age of 41, when I was (just starting to be) a bit of a rebellious teen; I would have loved to have gotten to know her as I matured. 🙁
My Father, A’H .. gone 13 years this month. he was my best friend… wise & supportive. 🙁
I’ve been reading the CR posts for going on 2 yrs., but I didn’t join until 6 months ago. … I think one can basically discern who’s under 21-22 y.o., or so, to some extent, no?
Mother in Israel~ I know. … but we sure wanna be dan lekaf zechus.
chocandpatience~ honesty? during registration: checking off a box that says “I hereby promise that I am 18 years of age or older, have read the rules/terms of use for the CR…” & submit birthdate??
obviously, it cannot be enforced, per se.
for the ‘imamother’ site, you havta be a Jewish female & married to join their site.. you are asked to fill out a questionnaire at registration so that they can ‘verify’ (?) that you are so. I would imagine it’s not foolproof, but…
I had commented in the past, when I felt a strong young-ish teen presence on board, that perhaps there should be a ‘cocoa room’ section of the CR.
Mod~ altho’ you said that anyone can read the posts, is there at least a minimum age for actually signing up/registering as a CR member? … TIA
LOL, Toi 🙂
adorable~ are you kidding or serious? .. I can’t tell.
has anyone, besides myself, seen ‘The Fremont Troll’ in Seattle, WA.? .. it’s a huge sculpture under the Aurora bridge. 🙂
YbAM~ yes, you are technically correct. (thanks for your post).
a couple or a few bottles of Bartenura or other wine on the women’s table = some very happy women. including (& especially) me!! ;-D
ah, Mod 80, I wish I was trolling (for fish) right now!! *sigh*
Sender Av~ your menus sound amazing!! kol hakavod 🙂
I think that pacman/canine/joseph styles are quite easy to discern, IMO.
as far as young ones participating in the CR: yes, I was pretty shocked. (actually, my oldest grandchildren are 6 3/4 y.o., but 9 y.o. technically could be).
do you really think that YWN parents allow their young (under bas/bar mitzvah age) children to read, & possibly post, here in the CR?!
& no, I don’t think it’s appropriate for them to be here.
no, we should talk about 9 year old girls being (commenting?) in the CR!! (per the Mod)
I must admit– I’m surprised to hear that a parent who’s on the YWN site would allow such a young child to participate here :/
Mod~ 9 year old girls in the CR?!?!?! .. that’s young enough to be my grandchild’s age!! sorry, but I don’t really wanna be having a convo with a small child here!! :/
I’ve started 6 in the 6 months I’ve been here.
I also saw it, adorable. I was a little surprised by it, coming from you. don’t fret, tho’ 🙂
groisnaches~ what I find very poignant is that you & your husband had already received a bracha from the Rebba, shlita, and yet:
“and on my way out, just before leaving the room, I asked if there’s anything I can take upon myself for special Hatzlacha with important things. ” … you asked for it, you got it.
as has been said before here on this thread: if you seek the advice of a Rebba, be prepared to receive it.
(I don’t mean to sound cold & insensitive.)
gefen~ that’s so cool! yes, I wonder! my mother, A’H, was very beloved by all.. wouldn’t that be something! 🙂 she was a secretary there.
anonymrs~ of course! hakores hatov!
my parents both worked @ the Brooklyn Navy Yard & married on Nov. 11, 1945. … (my father worked there for over 25 yrs.). even tho’ he was a civilian I always felt close to the Navy. I always try to thank our military service people, police & firefighters when I come in contact with them.
thanks, Goq! I actually could have.. I have in the past.
have a wonderful day 🙂
babysat my granddaughter for a bit, while my daughter went across the street for my grandson’s pre1-A Chumash party @ Chaim Berlin 🙂
