@Bygirl, I thought you knew me so well- after all, you’re the *queen*… lol

@Brucklyn Jewess I *loved* your poems: I really related to the first one and the second one was really evoking (evocative?). Here’s another one I wrote in honor of the weather:

I do like the sun

Its glaring rays

Bringing all your troubles to light

There’s nowhere to hide

Under its harsh light

Everyone can see your face

Your eyes blink

Unable to tolerate

Its beating force

The rain is dreary

Everyone is upset

Not just you

No one is looking

They’re focused on themselves

They don’t see your pain

And as the rain

Rolls down your face

Your tears are concealed

Under the clouds

In the rain

No one can see you cry

Thanks!

M.

Thanks I’m so glad you liked it! observanteen I really liked your poem it’s very direct and true and I love parallelism. All the poems are really amazing I think this is my favorite thread!

observateen- thanx- i like yours too- they r very moving-

i’m zonked- but not from pesach cleaning- from school! for some reason teachers all pile up a ton of work right now! i didnt have a test or essay for 2 and a half weeks and now all the teacher are assigning stuff due right before vacation- and we have to study for APs!!

bas yisroe- i had the same exact problem- it usually develops over time but it really depends on ur teacher- my skewl is tracked in most hebrew subjects so i was in the lowest track and i skipped up two tracks- for a certain reason- and i was really behind the other girls in skills- an the teacher worked with me so i culd catch up- the key is starting small start with rashis- and the pesukim- reading the parsha and then when u feel u culd do that move on to ramban or some other miforshim- if ur struggling- just keep on going if u dont know a word skip it and get the jist of wat its saying- that shuld help u figure out wat that word means- and if u get ahead of urself- just backtrack and take it slow- and as for dikduk- my teacher says thats impt- but just for the record- i stink at it- rlly just stick to woorying about past tense or present or future- and not the rest- eventually u culd do that- hope this helps- it worked forme! 😉

it really is addicting! now i’m not so bad because i’m in school all day- but when i graduate i have to figure out some sort of restriction or i will be on here 24/5 (my comp doesnt go on on fridays!)

me whoo- how would u like someone to say to you- ur a man- take out the garbage and get a job!!! women r allowed to learn- there is absolutely nothing wrong with it- and by the fact that shes asking for help means SHE WANTS to and is not going with the flow-

bssyisroel- first try with the english and once you start getting familair with the words try it without- and go back and forth until u start getting it- once you remember shorashim and dikduk ur pretty much good to go

i heard a rlly good mother in law joke today: the only thing human about my mother in law is……. her shaitel!!!!

i dont think anyones ever thought of jumping in front of a bullet, its more of an instinct! and according to halcha u may not risk ur own life except in certain circumstances,- now that i think about it- does Shifichas damim apply here? or is it only when they say kill this person or we’ll kill u- u have to let them kill u-

def. dull! i used to go to the letters first thing! now i sometimes dont even rlly read them i just glance over them! maybe someone shuld write a letter about that! lol!

its kind of like the mccarthyist era- which wouldnt have been so bad if a) he didnt lie b) he didnt take it as far as he did! and A23 if it was for the better gud of the world and it was carried out in a 100% truthful way!! and as long as it is not blown out of proportion by the “wonderful” media

shrek- the beatles- u r dating ur self- we now know what generation you r from

rednails- i know that! but someone has to tell my teacher that!!

sry- i thought it said girls thoughts on boys! sry!

i think its wrong for only the girl to give a picture! but since this was already “discussed” in a previous- and really long thread- i’m not going to go into it again- and some ppl here would agree with me- u know who u r

if anyone knows how to add a link- can they put the seminary list that is going around via email?

its ok to dress for the gym- and u culd wear leggings etc- but there are ppl walking around with their leggings or sweatpants sticking out from under their skirt- and its not just showing a little its alot

Letters came!!! after everyone stops nursing their wounds- ur all still awesome it doesnt matter who doesnt want you- can everyone post where b”H they will b going

i thinh he’s probably a bored bachur in yeshiva!! and for those of you who said no one would only apply to bjj… you are so wrong! now they encourage you, if that is the one and only place you want to go and you feel fine if you end up staying home- then dont apply to anywhere else! ur taking someonelse’s spot! but bjj def didnt come out yet- so he is def a bored boy making fun of teenage girls! which is sooo obvi cuz he spelled seminary wrong and any girl old or young knows how to spell it!!

mich, darchei bina… most of the non “bais yaakovs” got their answers already the rest are coming anytime this week!!!!!! DAVEN!!!!! and remember- where ever you end up- its where u r meant to b! Hashem wouldnt put you in a situation thats not right for u!!! rise up to the occasion!!!

we say it every day in history class! our teacher hung a falg in the back of the class

I dont know about most girls but i just take what i get- if they ask me i say i don’t name a price they should give me what they feel comfortable with- i have someone sometimes she pays me 5$ and hour sometimes she pays me 10- it depends on each persons financial situation i have a couple of ppl i dont charge at all and i dont let them give me money- and i just chalk it up as chesed hours- which as anyone in high school knows- most people go well over the 30 required hours! and some ppl i have a credit thing going sometimes the pay me a 20 for a half hour but then dont pay me the next two times etc. it all depends on how well u know the person ur babysitting for- i dont babysit for strangers- and if u dont want to give a babysitter 10$ and hour i dont blame u but if the kids are up and they put them to bed ect. then they def. dont deserve 5$ id say a sleeping kid or two six or seven dollars- if they had to take care of htem 8 or nine and if it was a whole day thing- set a price for the whole day before hand ssay- if u babysit from 10 to 5 ill pay u 50$ theyll usually agree-even though its 7 hours- most girls would b happy to make 50$ in a day and wont count out the hours to b exact! hope it helps u see it from our perspective! oh and ya if u r one of those who go out once a week withur friends- then obviously u can afford to pay 10- even if u r a kollel couple- who paid for your bugaboo? oh and the going out was on ur parents credit card? maybe next time ask ur parents for cash?- sry i dont mean it to sound mean but its ok to take from ur parents for ur own enjoyment but not to pay someone wat they deserve?

please don’t call us the night before or the day of- we have a life too and feel guilty saying no- please be responsible and if you know of an event you will be having please ask us before- i had someone they knew they had a wedding 2 months before and that night an hour before they needed me they called- i had to say no because it was not enough time warning and i didn’t have a chance to ask permission from my parents- also if u got my number from someone please tell me who you got it from because i don’t like babysitting for complete strangers- and a lot of the times i say no its not because of you- it could be my parents don’t let that night etc. i ‘m just sometimes embarrassed to say “my mother says i cant…” i mean i am 17 and i don’t want to appear like a baby to you so i say- I’m not available- or oh that night??? I’m so busy I’m sorry- don’t think its just a polite way to snob you out- i had someone who i said that to and then when i was online the night that they asked me my gmail chat status was like- i am so bored- i have no life- and they were all insulted i told them i was busy they thought i said no because i didn’t like them! also when it comes to the food- please tell us if we can take because if we aren’t given explicit permission and even though you really do let if we take- halachiclly its gezel- so please TELL us and don’t assume we know we can- also please specify if u want us to pick up your phone if it rings- i had 1 person who didn’t want me too and didn’t tell me so i picked up- and the same thing happened the other way around- please leave emergency info and tell us where to find it!!!!!! i also agree with everything said above by whatelseisleft but they dont need to call u! its their house!!!! and if we do fall asleep please dont make a big deal out of it- we are embarressed even if you r joking!- thank you

in my family its Bobby and Zaidy (Zay-de)_______(last name)(2 SETS) and my aunts and uncles are uncle_____ (first name) and Tanta_____ (first name) my neices and nephews call my parents just Bobby and Zaidy- and they call me and my siblings by our names- but when someone tells them something they say tell tanta ____ ( first name)… and same with uncle- that way they realize they still have to have respect and you are older- its quite funny when my nephew and my first cousins son play together cuz then my mother is Tanta____ to one and Bobby to the other so when they are together my first cuosins son calls my mother _____’s bobby- cuz he knows its the same person and my aunt is known as savta to her grandchlidren so my neices and nephews call her savta too- cuz they dont have any other savtas!!!! the funniest is one of my cuzins kids calls her gramdmother bobby even though she knows shes savta- and she keeps on getting corrected cuz she knows it annoyes her- and makes everyone else laugh!!! and shes only two!!!

wanderingchana- as i said previously when i am in a rush to get out what i am thinking it doesn’t necessarily translate correctly in spelling and grammar- please also keep in mind that i am 18 and i do think like an 18 year old girl and tend to speak in a certain way no matter how well i do in English, just because of my surroundings!
