    I’m debating whether I should say what I want to say since it might make an Ayin Hora…ok – here goes:

    I’m really, really impressed with the way everyone here is stating their opinion so respectively, without attacking anyone because they don’t agree (as is the case in many other threads…). Let’s keep it up!

    why does it seem that a lot of Frum people (especially in the bp area) are terrified of cats and dogs?

    We once had this discussion and what we decided was that ppl are afraid of things they’re not used to. Since the majority of the frum population does not own a cat or dog (for the many reasons stated above) many frum yidden are afraid of these pets. Personally, I LOVE all animals (except for insects) and am usually not afraid of them!

    How else would you give info for a shidduch?

    “So let’s see…He’s chassi- Oh,I’m sorry,he has a rebbe, and goes to the tish every week and went to a yeshiva where all the other bochurim also have rebbes and are part of a group of ppl who share the same rebbe…” you get the picture! Sometimes it is necessary to define ppl and it is almost impossible to do so without using “labels”.

    Could there be any way to be dan l’kaf zchus?

    Take what happened to me yesterday: Someone asked me to deliver a package to one of his clients. As I was handing the package to this client, having him sign a paper etc., this man turns to me and tells me, “I don’t want to hurt your feelings so I won’t talk now…”. You better believe I was very hurt! Not only did I now know that he thought ill of me – I had no clue why! But as I was walking home, I thought to myself that I have to be this person dan l’kaf zchus. So I decided that he was probably very upset about something else and wasn’t thinking when he told me that or maybe I misunderstood him…It still wasn’t right of him – but at least it made me feel better!

    Is there really such a social pressure to get an american girl…? My mindset was always that if you have the money and feel it would be beneficial – then go ahead an buy it. If you cannot afford it – don’t buy it!

    But I guess if it’s a pressure even for those who cannot afford it – then it is a bit ridiculous…

    When I was about ten, my sisters and I would each receive coupons every time we did our job (cleaning up the kitchen, setting the table…). Every coupon was worth about $0.25. After a year we had saved up enough coupons for each of us to buy an American Girl. Let me tell you – not only did it make us want to do our jobs, it also taught us the value of money and of earning and saving it!

    We would play with them for hours on end…Now my little sisters have mine and my older sister has kept hers in perfect condition and is saving it for her own kids!

    No, I B”H do not have a tv, nor do I have any desire to have one. And I have filtered internet.

    Granted – eating less calories will make you lose weight, but it won’t necessarily provide you with the healthy nutritional needs your body requires…

    I’m on weight watchers and I’m loving it! They just redid their entire system and one of the new rules is that fruits and vegetables are totally free!

    BP Totty – I think this is the first time I saw a post from you that was completely serious from beggining to end! I didn’t know you had it in you…!

    You bet I know Montreal! Like some of you mentioned, there’s the BioDome, sledding and snowtubing in several places (although most of the real major ones are an hour away from where the frum community lives) and plenty of beautiful malls. As for eateries, there’s Pizza Pita, Dairy King, Yakimono Sushi, La Grill, Ernie’s & Ellie’s among others…

    I’m here! When are you ppl usually logged on? For some reason, during the day there aren’t that many posters yet in the morning I see there are a million new posts! Does that mean that I’m the only one who posts during the day and sleeps at night (while the rest of you are posting away)?!

    I once heard the following “If you don’t think a penny is worthy of being picked up, you are not worth a penny”

    Personally I usually do pick up a penny if I find one. For some reason I feel like it’s Bal Tashchis if I don’t…

    Try a flannel clown nose(with elastic band)

    I would love for someone to invent and manufacture some sort of nose glove and finger tip glove. I’m always freezing in those areas (bad circulation…)!

    I’ve been reading through the posts and I see many posters seem to agree that the song is good since it may help bring public-school kids back to yiddishkeit. That may very well be true, but think about it – are we public-school kids?

    blinky – I don’t know about sticky, but it sure makes my jaws the most hard-working part of my body! At one point, my jaws would click every time I tried opening my mouth – you better believe it was NOT fun! But of course I haven’t given up my precious gum…even for the price of locked jaws!

    The Goq – You hit the nail on the head! It is the most annoying thing to always have to scroll back up a (sometimes!) 70-post page in order to get back to the CR!!!
