    Can I have some krembo, please? Whenever someone mentions Aron Raizel, I automatically think of krembo.

    I don’t care how out of date I am. 😛

    On a slightly unrelated tangent, I was walking through a toystore in a foreign country (not China) and said store sold TONS of Chinese toys. The descriptions on the boxes were almost comical, and there was this little girl doll with a shirt that said, and I (roughly) quote:

    “My Little khfiudsyfhygfehjyyyejujjyyyy”.

    Try to work your way to trying only a small sampling of each dish. I know, it’s tempting to try everything, and all the more so, taking second helpings of the foods that taste good! But anyway, the secret is only taking a little of everything.

    Good luck! 🙂

    Thanks, everyone for your clarifications. 🙂

    I read a similar presumption that people shouldn’t wear denim because they claimed that in England, apparently only the low-class, unrefined dregs of the working-class society wear it. I’ve never been to the UK, but I’m pretty sure that denim doesn’t necessarily connote such traits. And wearing denim doesn’t necessarily connote support of the Zionists either.

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care for leather accents, but if these girls are not wearing leather in a provocative or overly abnormal, eye-catching way on otherwise unquestionably tznius garments, then I really don’t see what’s wrong with it.

    I’m not a feminist and I’m definitely not a misogynist, but I like your reasoning a lot. Why do husbands get such a bad rap when there may be plenty of wives in the same situation?

    Personally, not that I have much experience in this venue, I believe that both parties should be mature enough to think realistically. Look at all of the secular teens out there – do they end up getting married to the boys they dated at age 16 or 17? Let’s face it, the truth is, most teens and young adults are not as mature as we’d like to delude ourselves.

    Not only that, I would wait until one has both completed their education and found a means of parnassah to support the family they are looking to start.

    Now, if it were your wife’s diploma, I’d say cover it with a tichel, to promote optimum tznius. For yours, just put a kippa over it diploma to show that you’re a G-d-fearing (presumably) man. 😛

    I once went in a haunted house ride where I shot (and missed) at ghosts. It was in the summer time, though.

    And then there was the time I screamed. I was very young at the time. And it was also in the summer time. 😛

    Nooooo! Nooooo! Don’t leave us, the-art-of-moi! Who else will I entertain with my comments? :O

    Nonetheless, I completely respect your reason – you’re probably doing the right thing for yourself. May you have only simchas in your life from now on, and may your emunah become stronger than ever!

    Thank YOU for the impact that you have made on the CR. Every person makes a difference, yourself included.

    Never forget, Hashem is always there, even if it doesn’t always seem apparent to you. Have a wonderful Shabbos!

    @mms601 – Good point. Technically, the OP wasn’t the one who shredded him. 😛

    By the way, I pity you. I have reason not to trust these sort of people anymore myself.

    This probably sounds silly, but from now on, I highly recommend going DIY whenever possible. A certain video-hosting website that begins with Y has plenty of tutorials for just about everything under the sun, and you can always ask around at your local hardware store.

    I hope that guy gets what he deserves for what he’s been doing to countless people in your area!

    I think Israeli cuisine would be an interesting topic. For one thing, many of the foods that are popularly consumed in modern Israel have been adopted from its neighboring Middle Eastern countries.

    I can’t say I agree with that statement myself, but that’s besides the point. 🙂

    But wait, atheists don’t believe in G-d; ergo, they have no G-d-given gifts.
