    honestly if it’s a good hechsher, whatever tastes better.

    Unless that person feels they want to work on themselves.

    In that case i’d tell them to eat the Jewish brand,

    (which is usually made by a lower end goyishe company)

    but it still taste bad, so they get to work on their Taivas Achilah.

    There is the issue of supporting yidden, so if your not a total Mefunak, i’d suggest finding at lease some products that taste almost the same as its goyishe competition. (not really competition)

    I find some people are Dafka Makpid everything should be goyish,

    not just heinz ketchup, hellmans mayo, frenchs mustard.

    I mean from cereals, & beverages, (even seltzer), to baked goods

    canned vegetables, & tomato sauce.

    Believe me, I know there’s is a difference in quality. but it’s

    kind of too much. It seems childish, sorta like they need to work on their jewish pride a little.

    Try the following, after she finishes her ranting, say something Ruchni with Emunah, Like HB”H Vet Inz Alleh Helfen, in Sveit Zein Gut!

    (HB”H will help us all & it’ll be fine!)

    Then say “I understand what your saying, thanks for being so caring, I’ll keep what you said in mind, Kol Tuv!

    It also helps when shes preaching, to imagine a song that goes with the words that are coming out of her mouth! keep on changing the song, when you hit 10 songs go treat yourself out to ice cream. hmm.. happens that often? worried about weight?

    Make it every 20 songs. 🙂 Hatzlacha!

    You have to understand that asking her to consider dating you would be a major complication (to say the least) to her friendship with your ex.

    I think you should ask a warm, sensitive, posek, someone who deeply understands peoples feelings to guide you on the proper steps to take so as not to mess it up, and ease the burden of hurt all around.

    In my limited knowledge, i’d have someone “let it slip” to this girl that she was mentioned as a shidduch to you a few times and you were very open to it, but didn’t want to put her in a tough place by making her decide.

    However, is she was open to it, then you’d be very happy to give it a go.

    Don’t let her know you sent someone, it should just be a scoop that someone close to you let slip.

    yossi2468; Good job!

    Idk what’s happening to this generation! people kissing their children, giving them hugs and stuff like that. GEVALD!!!

    You think Frum people showed affection to their kids in the good old days? What’s next? Telling them you love them!?

    Wow!

    Isn’t everyone aware of what’s brought down

    in Chossid Shoteh, Siman Reish Eyin, the Geder of not holding your your childs hand whatever gender because of what the Chachmei Chelm will think? According to the Chossid Shoteh, this is also the reason we wear a Gartel with part of it coming down on both sides, so that the kids could cross holding the Gartel while upholding the Geder. Also Why its black and not colorful, so as to not call attention to this act of kiruv.

    By the way the Chossid Shoteh is now on sale at the Neturei Karta

    branches in Iran, and in Gaza.

    When I was dating, one time, I was walking with a girl in nyc

    in a heavy crowd as usual, nice tall girl, dressed well,

    and we had to split for a second, and then i find her walk next to her for bout 7 seconds then I turn to her and it a shiksa, I apologize, look up and she’s waiting for me on the side.

    I walked over, apologized again to her this time.

    Very embarrassing!

    I’m sure you are adorable inside out. but again it wasn’t a joke, intended at you or at your expense. Since the op was vague and seemed like it was talking about girls in general, the question was asked for girls in general.

    The answers some posters answered were directed at you though, hence an easy assumption that when i copied their answer and made a joke about girls wearing too much makeup (not you i’m sure you don’t need any) Then somehow it ended sounding like It was referring to who they were answering.

    I hope that made any sense. As far as I can remember I never made fun of anyone specific here EVER! That is just mean and embarrasses the poster more than the one they wrote about.

    I didn’t really read the op, was making a general joke about rain

    making all the makeup girls use come off. If i had any idea that i was referring to a specific poster, (or could even be attributed to anyone specific) I would NEVER post it. or say that.

    When I saw your post I was frightened why you thought I was talking bout you. then I checked the op.

    It was my fault and I sincerely apologize and hope you are Mochel me for any embarrassment I caused.

    I will try to ask the mods to please remove it.

    If you are not mochel me please let me know as well.

    bein_hasdorim
    Participant

    brisk; You are seeking an answer to the age-old, frageh.

    Here’s the thing, it is better to walk in the rain instead of running.

    There are a few reasons for this.

    The first, being that since when you walk slowly only the rain that is directly coming down on you at the pace that is is coming down is hitting you in an orderly fashion, as opposed to when you walk quickly or run. (the same reason that when you walk slowly in the rain under an umbrella, your pants/skirt (not yours brisk) get less wet than when you are walking quickly.)

    (This reason does not apply when it’s raining diagonally.)

    Secondly, when you walk quickly or run, you are less aware of the

    ground ahead of you and are more likely to step or splash into a puddle.

    Thirdly, when you run in the rain you are likely to slip and fall

    headfirst (or however) in a puddle or on the wet ground.

    Fourthly, it is dangerous to run in the rain. visibility is bad for drivers, as well as short stopping is not as efficient on wet asphalt. People are a less aware to their surroundings busy running for their lives as if they might or gain weight staying in the rain. I wonder if they know what most of clothes gets washed in.

    Since it’s a S’fek S’feika, and it a Shailoh of V’nishmarted.

    Sofek vs. S’fek S’feika,

    I pasken walk slowly, smile, watch other ppl running for their lives as if it’s raining lava. Enjoy the rain, it’s good for your

    smile.

    emlf;

    So what your saying is that many people named Scharf are not so sharp, so then many people named Weiss are kinda dark.

    This makes me kinda wonder if many people named Reich are not so wealthy? Those named Schwartz, I understand, as well as Feffer

    and Zaltz.

    But what really makes me nervous is what are most people named Kugel, or even scarier Whiteman? Black Women? I don’t know anymore.

    bpt; the system is a collection of people that choose to follow it,

    The sooner those who don’t feel it’s applicable to them step up to the plate, the quicker they wont be forced into s/t they don’t believe in, or can’t financially follow.

    There are people who can and want this opportunity, and that’s why

    it started in the first place.

    People have to realize their place financially & not try to be in competition w/ others they obviously can’t compete with.

    Making simchas they can’t afford, buying jewelry they cant pay for

    etc.. etc.. Live within your means.

    A friend of mine that’s divorced, told me they’re trying to make another singles event in Kutshers shabbos Nachmu that has a more chareidi crowd.

    He asked me if it pays for him to go, given the past singles events were to a much more modern crowd. Told him to err on the side of caution.

    Does anyone have info about the type of crowd?

    Or is anyone here more yeshivish or heimish, going?

    From the way most of you are talking, you obviously don’t know how it is set up in many bungalow colonies.

    It is definitely not the equivalent of sending your kid to take out the garbage from your home at night, where you can see

    them from the window, and it’s not that far from the house.

    There is decent lighting, other neighbors houses, and neighbors might be around.

    The garbage in many bungalow colonies is out by the parking lot, usually close to the road. It is usually deserted, unless someone happens to pull in and park which takes under a minute, doesn’t hang around there, goes to his bungalow etc..

    It is pitch dark, save the old lights that give you an outline of where you’re going, but it’s not a well lit area, to say the least.

    I’m SURE if it C”V didn’t turn out well, the same posters would be crying foul. How irresponsible of the parents etc..

    How soon do we forget the lessons we should’ve learned so very recently, at an exorbitant price that is immeasurable to us.

    Please take your collective heads out of the sand and exercise caution with your children, anticipate these possibilities and take measures accordingly!

    Many Psychiatrist tend to suffer from DD, Diagnosis Disorder

    (Not associated with ADD)

    But don’t you worry yourself, it is completely curable with

    psychoanalysis and Rehabilitative Gravitational Therapy,

    more commonly known as RGT.

    It is very affective. The therapy, consists of getting the psychiatrist to go up on a roof, preferably five stories or higher, and act out his childhood fantasies of being Superman.

    One session Is all that is needed.

    Then he discovers he has a high aptitude for languages.

    He was a top boy, royalty really. The Egyptian (sem) girls would harass him like the paparazzi. Then, this one girl who had nothing but a necklace, a family heirloom, sees him going thru the street,

    feels Joseph is her Basherte, throws her prized, sole possession at him, he picks it up, notices its inscription, marries her, (she was a relative of his) and they live happily ever after.

    THE END!

    A saint becomes a slave, then a King, Saves the world,

    then marries another slave, she becomes a queen.

    seminaryhelp; Don’t hang out, don’t get into an arab cab. Take cabs with at least one more girl, preferably someone that speaks some Hebrew.

    Not every restaurant that says hechsher Badadtz is a good hechsher, It means Beis Din Tzedek.

    It can be a beis din tzedek of Mir n Tosh, or Ohev Shalom,

    Shomrei Negiya, or Sulam Yaakov.

    it’s just words in hebrew with a seal, on a piece of paper.

    Some of them, (aside from those that aren’t a good hechsher,)

    DONT EVEN EXIST!!! just a number that you call that is connected to an answering machine that never gets answered . please get educated, ask your rabbi of sem of whatever male figure that is familiar with what hechsherim are acceptable.

    Go out to your local Makolet (usually a “Super” something)

    & buy a bottle of every spring water imaginable. Refrigerate,

    then have a cup of each. The one that is the most tolerable,

    i.e. most of it’s contents make it down your throat,

    or better yet the one that allows you to take another swig,

    voluntarily, be sure to check the brand…. and CONGRATULATIONS! You have found yourself a winner. Now you’ll know what to stock up on, instead of having to switch from water to say.. diet coke.

    bygirl93; first of all, about making friends, just be yourself,

    (unless your real self is boring) always approach the other girls

    (that seems cool & your type first) and introduce yourself,( but not in a hyper, on speed, way, just happy and chilled) then ask their name if they don’t reply with theirs, ask what school they’re coming from, then make a comment to put them at ease, like a joke.

    It can’t be a bad one though, cuz that’ll pretty much end it.

    Then move on, saying “nice meeting you, let me know if I need any help you w/ anything.”

    haifagirl said;

    “My rabbi won’t say no, but he won’t say yes, either.”

    What kind of rabbi is this? He wont say no?

    Maybe i’m just confused as to your request?

    Why not find a guy that is nice, kind, maybe not so handsome,

    or settle in some other way, and marry him, (if you are considering whatever else u said) if u want it that bad why not settle a little. As long as he’s a good guy, what else do u need?

    Best case you are happy, worst case you get divorced.

    Then you still get what you want, halachically.

    Just don’t get married with a plan to get divorced.

    I hope i’m making myself clear, or else it may come out

    sounding wrong. Chazal say, that for a woman, it is better to marry someone that isn’t her knight in shining armor,

    than to stay alone. But it isn’t a direct quote.

    I don’t know if the they had shining armor in those times.)

    Beis Medrash! I’m serious, but in order to make it fun, it is Bein_hazmanim, you should travel oot to a DIFFERENT Bais Medrash.

    Drop your wife off at the local mall (w/ plenty of cash) and go sit down and shteig, then you can also get to shmoozing w the locals in the hallway, maybe even do some kiruv or make new friends.

    It’s a different place, different pace, change of scenery and it

    does have a nice effect on your learning & chiddushim.

    I have some wonderful chidushim that have been developed oot.

    If your a serious guy, try it, you’ll thank me!

    of course you should also check out the local to do list of recreation, fun etc.. but don’t leave the fun of learning,

    even for just an hour or half an hour, out of the program.

    It’s really not a big deal, but I feel, I, we, got so pampered, in this last generation, that when we are restrained halachically

    by a certain time, like shabbos, or a fast, etc.. ppl are lined up to count down the seconds, & I understand them, their busy, hungry, have to run to work, or meeting, but please! Just wait another few minutes, don’t run away so fast.

    HB”H gives us life and time, & i’m sure he’ll cover us for those extra few min (to say the least) not to faint, or lose money,
