do not settle your debt!!!! the IRS looks at settlements as profit and charges you tax. for example, if your debt is sixty thousand and you pay only thirty thousand, you will be taxed on the other thirty thousand and the settlement shows on your credit score for seven years and lowers your credit score.
what about calling 311 before you block a driveway, give the address, ask if it’s legal…if not-then block!
a neighbor asked if he could block my driveway for shabbos, knowing that i would often take the baby to the er/hospital with no warning. i told him on shabbos i would call hatzolah but i was so impressed with his derech eretz and mentlichkeit. let’s all try to be more selfless and thoughtful of others!!
wolf: thank you for bringing humor and lightness to the coffee room while still keeping it real and to the point. after spending a few hours in the hospital trying to get my son’s hospital records to give to the next specialist, i needed to laugh. thank you! tizku l’mitzvos. oh, and fathers/brothers dancing with the kallah? whatever floats your boat…or twirls your curls!
i don’t know if the mods will let this in but it’s too good to leave out. as I’ve said in other posts, i have a child with a medical condition. we go to different doctors and specialists and i filled out enough forms for the environmental/tree protectors to come after me. anyway, on one form, after filling out his name, date of birth and such, they had written gender: male…female…undecided. yes, i checked off undecided! the nurse and doctor needed a minute to ‘chap’!!
to BLUEBERRY MUFFIN: if you still need address or info on rabbi rubashkin, check out the chabad website, SHMAIS.COM. now i’ll go get me some midnight snack! no muffins here though
PIZZA TIME on avenue j corner east 14 street!!!! friendly smiley workers, clean clean place, yummy sauce and just the right amount of cheese, fresh fresh salads, yummy fries, my favorite!!!
due to my son’s medical condition, he may not eat most healthy foods such as fruit. we were in the grocery store recently and he was begging for watermelon. another shopper looked at me as though i was the worst and craziest mother when she heard me tell him, “elishama, you can not have watermelon. would you like a cookie instead?” yes, be dan l’chaf zchus!!!!
absolutely bring a purse! wristlets (wallets that have a short strap) and small purses that are mostly inconspicuous, are sold in most stores and are not costly. take along some money and a phone that will be turned off for the date but is for emergencies.
volvie, while i never saw Rav Belsky, when i read your post that he is a “large posek” i immediately pictured a large big fat man! please, people, be careful with your adjectives! and yes, i have heard that Rav Belsky is a respected and largely accepted posek.
yanky, i feel your pain. i am also divorced and was told by several people to stay married because while getting divorced is easy (oh really?!) it is very difficult living divorced. also, i was told to think of shidduchim for my sons and to stay married for them. yes, being divorced is hard and being a single parent is hard, but i’d rather be a single mom to two children and not to three (when my ex was not beating me, he was fighting with my older son and cursing my younger son).Yes, wondering if the children are okay in divorced homes is a concern but in certain situations, like the one you painfully described, it’s better for them than seeing disrespect, animosity and abuse (and what you describe is abuse!!) And shidduchim? Wouldn’t you rather your children grow up in a stable one parent home than an unsettled two parent home? I finally divorced when my 12 year old raised his hand to hit me and said “Why can’t I? Daddy does it all the time!So,yes, I hear your pain and anochi eemacha b’tza’ar, but know you did the right and the best thing for yourself and your children!!!
thank you rockymountains for your offer of tefillah
my son’s name is elishama pinchas -n devorah leah
may we know of only yeshuos and refuos
my son’s name is Elishama. When he was 2 days old, the doctors said he has a condition called Intestinal Atresia. He was prepped for surgery at 3 days old and suddenly the doctors decided to do one more test and found that he actually had long segment Hirschsprung’s Disease. After 2 long and painful surgeries and continuous trips to doctors, specialists and hospitals, he is not trained and is usually in pain. So although he is now sitting in my lap having painful contractions and his skin on his bottom is bloody and blistery and he can not eat most foods, still, Elishama! Hashem hears our tefillos!!!
