    “They are mechanchim,”

    Apushtayid- is that the correct chinuch, to withhold a childs report card? I can actually say firsthand what it feels like to have a report card withheld, and its not pretty. Especially knowing that its not your fault and that your parents are trying really hard. In addition, the school knew that throughout the year tuition was being paid steady (a little per month or whatever). It wasn’t like it was not being paid at all. And, the “punishment” didn’t gain anything, tuituion was still being paid at the exact rate as before. It just caused heartache.

    Arc- yes i remember the chinuch roundtable had the question and i noticed that most of the answers were that parents are not making tuition their priority etc…. and that they did not really touch base with the question itself.

    i heard this a while back it might have been said already but its good enoough to say again.

    This plane was flying and the pilot discovered that it was too heavy to go on so he gets on the loudspeaker and says that ppl would have to jump off. Of course no one offered so he said that the fairest way to do it would be to go through nationalities according to the ABC’s. Here goes.

    “Any African Americans on board?” Silence

    “Any Blacks?” Silence

    “Colored ppl?” Silence

    “Dark ppl?”

    Suddenly from the back a little boy pipes up, “hey ma aren’t we all those?” His mom replied, “yes, but today we are Schwartzahs!”

    i would imagine if you tell your wife it was delicious thats fine. But if your going to rant and rave about it all the way home than yeah it might make her feel a little bad.

    A family member was recently sitting shiva and someone came over and said, “oh at last its not so bad because so and so was very old anyway…” And went on to proceed how he lost s/o at a younger age and that is so terrible but for this you shouldn’t be sad. I think something is wrong here.

    “Diet and excercise, diet and excercise…”- yeah tell me about it.

    p.s.”excercise” is spelled “exercise” (don’t worry i spelled it wrong here on this forum a few times, but our professional editors taught me the correct way:)

    i agree with oomis a thousand percent that after a woman is married its harder to find the time to drive. Just to add on, there are some places that its a necessity to drive, where things are just not around the corner. You just never know where you will end up living and if you have to go to the grocery thats not so local its very annoying to have to be dependant on someone else.

    “Keep thinking to yourself; by Pesach, I’ll be x weight, by Pesach, I’ll be x weight… all you need to do now is follow thru!”- you make it sound so easy…if only…ive been there done that (and still doing it), dieting is hard even though you know in the long run its worth it!

    hashemsprincess- on my diet mayo is fine but limited. 2 tsps of lo fat mayo is considered one fat (i can have 3 fats a day) so there you go- usually one or one and a half fats is sufficient…Good luck!

    “also: you have a subconcious spiritual GPS in you. If you’re driving along using a GPS and you make a wrong turn, it reroutes you to the correct route. If in life you take a wrong turn, Hashem has a bas kohl that “reroutes” you to go back.”

    nice anology! and when you are doing things right it says “you’ve reached your destination” meaning you are on the right track!

    correct! I don’t really understand your logic on how the answer could be 1st place (thats the answer that many ppl answer) now you are running in another race and you overtake the person in last place, what position are you in now?
