    “Wayne Gretzky literally obliterating every offensive record in hockey.”

    Aaah yes, The Great One, and the Oiler’s Dynasty, arguably the best hockey team in NHL history.

    Or how ’bout Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls…

    thank you onegoal, adorable for your responses.

    Very well. If that is the way of the land of CR, I then shall wait until the divine m-ods look down upon me with a favorable eye and blesseth me with their utmost grace and kindness. Yet, until that day, thou shall pray on my behalf, I beseech you all, for i feel utter emptiness and thirst, yearning for one too.

    “DEAR M-ODS, I BEG OF YOU! AROUSE YOUR COMPASSION AND MERCY AND PLEASE SEND FORTH YE BLESSINGS FROM YOUR PLACES ON HIGH AND SHOWER UPON THY SERVANT A SUBTITLE FOR MY NAME TOO, AMEN.

    We used to poke fun and laugh, as kids, when we looked at some old picture albums from our older relatives. Women in the 70’s wore short skirts, huge sunglasses and “beehive” hair…tznius was definitely not a subject matter. Why is there a family birthday party at a beach?? The torah was probably given in the 1980’s, we said. LOL.

    A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new Lexus in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck passed too close and completely tore the door off of the driver’s side. The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and within minutes a policeman pulled up.

    Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter what the body shop did to it.

    When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting and raving, the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief.

    “I can’t believe how materialistic you lawyers are,” he said. “You are so focused on your possessions that you don’t notice anything else.”

    “How can you say such a thing?” asked the lawyer.

    The cop replied, “Don’t you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you.”

    “Ahhh!” screamed the lawyer. “Where’s my Rolex!”

    Star Wars

    Girls: remember wearing Jellies and Jam

    or using a hair crimper

    Than of course we had among us Rav Moshe Feinstein, Rabbi Yaakov Kaminetzky, the Steipler Goan, Rav Shach, the Bobover Rebbe, just to name a few Gedolim.

    I remember seeing a pickle store in B.P. (I’m not from N.Y. but would visit often)

    I remember one of the first car phones that came out, they were HUGE! Of course they had a cord, but was a cool invention.

    Cameras with film. coolest thing when polaroid cameras came out with instant pictures.

    As far as the boys being afraid, no. When I was learning in the Mir, Yerusholayim, during the intifata years, you didn’t see,hear anything but learning torah while in the yeshiva. It was the redio, t.v. and other news media that would show the scary stuff going on that had our parents worried. Not that it wasn’t REAL, but we never felt threatened in yeshiva with torah as our protection. Practically speaking, it’s not poshut bringing home kids from yeshiva/sem. away from limudei kodesh. A shaila should definitely be brought to your rav’s attention, and discussed at length before making such a big move.

    I guess I hear both sides loud and clear. But what of the huge difference between us getting vaccines 20-30 years ago and the amount of vaccines that they give NOW right from the delivery room until the child is 3-4 yrs old! It’s almost insane how much drugs go into kids these days! So although I agree a little bit to having SOME vaccines, but I am SO skeptical with the AMOUNT of MANDATORY vaccines that are distributed these days, and their POTENTIAL side effects.

    agreed, Imaofthree!!

    My wife and I treat our CL with lots of respect and it pays dividends many times over. She has been with us for 7+ years, we treat her as part of the family. She is non-jewish Portugese woman with a good heart, and can be trusted with our children.

    My neighbour, who doesn’t treat her CL with respect, is constantly in search of a new one.

    When I was about 11, I thought it funny to pull chairs away from guys right before they sat down. Usually it was fun and no harm came of it. But once I did it on s/1 with a bad back and he took quite a tumble. Felt bad that very minute. 🙁

    My brother and I used to go around shul and tie men’s talleisim together or to their chair! THAT was hilarious!!

    When we were about 12, my bunk raided our counselor’s stuff in the middle of the night, and then went out and set up the camp shul in the basketball court, benches and all. Too bad it was raining the next morning:(

    aaahhhhh, memories….
