    T613, neither am I… but we are both not married either.

    BLIMEY! I THINK I’VE GOT IT!

    Facebook doesn’t cause DIVORCES! It causes relationships built on shaky foundations and misleading representations of other people. It superficially causes people to appear like they have perfect lives and make everyone anticipate meeting a life partner who is as perfect as all the other humans on facebook! Makes so much sense…

    There used to be a show on tv about a mechanic shop that would surprise unsuspecting car enthusiasts by decking out their old cars and making them super nice, and I remember they once put LCD screens on some guy’s truck’s mudflaps… if that’s not a stupid invention, I don’t know what is.

    Eat slower. Chew each bite of food 20-30 times and eat it slowly. It takes time for your brain to feel that your stomach is full. If you eat fast you will consume more food before you feel full.

    Hey T613 I’m posting this just to sympathize with you… im taking calculus based electricity and magnetism this semester, and I feel like it’s the toughest subject I’ve ever had the pleasure of studying. It’s basically just a Russian physicist integrating Greek letters on the board and mumbling to himself… I miss multivariable calculus 🙁

    I don’t understand your premise.. is the fourth mitzvah not a seudah? Seudat mitzvah starts with a samech. Unless you want to call it a mishteh…

    Yaakov doe – If nobody realized anything was off until they DNA tested it, that means it was obviously not noticeable in those processed products. It’s the principle of the matter that bothers people; kind of like not eating dogs, rats, and cats – though in some Asian countries they do. Yehudayona is right: If you can’t notice the difference then it’s all psychological, and it’s very interesting that people who eat shellfish, pork, and rabbit are bothered when it comes to horses.

    Light their blankets on fire.

    Blast metal music on highest volume.

    Tell them their father is being arrested by the cops outside.

    Pour a bucket of ice into their bed.

    Release a swarm of bees into their room.

    Inject them with a shot of adrenaline.

    Fire off a handgun near them (with blanks, obviously).

    SaysMe, I happen to know the OP irl, and was reading in hope to see her dilemma has been resolved.

    Superstar: heels shouldn’t be confused with soles. Men’s shoes have soles with slightly raised heels to provide protection and comfort for walking. Mod42 and I were discussing women’s shoes with high heels.

    Superstar: I don’t understand why girls wear shoes with no heels at all. Those dainty fabric shoes that many frum girls wear today offer no arch support.

    Mod-42: I don’t understand why girls wear heels either. I completely agree with you.

    PBA – maybe the mashal of kavod haTorah would be more to your liking. Sometimes big talmidei chachamim who are also baalei mussar have to act in the name of kavod haTorah when their honor is slighted. Not because they are arrogant or egomaniacs, but because as a representative of the Torah they have to act in its defense. Goyim have a similar mindset by the court of law. It’s not a matter of personal insult to a particular judge, but because the justice system is considered honorable, and it is unlawful to be in contempt of a court. Ever wonder why everyone has to stand when a judge comes in to sit on the bench, but not when he walks into a restaurant? It’s kavod for the court, not for the judge personally… not to say that judges are all humble baalei middos who can make this totally impersonal. I’m sure some do let it become personal, but the reason for a judge’s authority to change the ruling based on an insult is irrelevant to the judge’s ego.

    That you had a horrible day in the office and the boss yelled at you.

    Why ever should you keep this bottled up? Spouses have an obligation to be supportive of each other emotionally. If you can’t share the burden of a bad day with your spouse then who can you share it with? You should share everything with your spouse except things that may insult, alienate, or hurt them.

    EJ- no I have not, but that’s irrelevant. The way it is being described sounds disgusting, and the whole concept of davening on a bus on a regular basis sounds like it is an extreme belittling of the kavod of davening. There is a reason why a beit haknesset has special holiness and special halachas that apply only to it. It is considered a “mikdash me’at.” To be comfortable enough to daven on the bus and turn it into a makom kavua for davening is a complete insensetivity to the holiness and chashivut of davening – this is besides the lack of kavanah, lack of derech eretz, and the chilluley Hashem that come out of it. People are throwing Yiddishkeit under the bus… sorry I couldn’t resist.

    That’s a good Litmus test actually. If Ayin Hara lady refuses the beis din’s ruling, that would indicate how leshem shamayim she is or how much her “services” are just a scam. It’s a catch 22 for her. Besides… how much federal income tax did she report on that money your wife gave her? Is she a licensed business? I don’t mean you should be moser her, but a little “convincing” never hurt anyone… mwahaha… May you succeed in getting your money back – bli ayin hara.

    MorahRach – It wasn’t considerate to others to change your child in public, but I think it’s understandable why you reacted the way you did. The only thing is, these types of “people” (and I use the term very loosely) make such a scene because they are looking to get into open arguments with strangers. They’re dimented, cruel, and evil. She was actually looking for a confrontation, and it would have gotten to her more if you would have just ignored her and pretended like she was nothing more than the annoying, whining child that she is. That being said, may she and all other reshaaim b’meizid get what’s coming to them, soon, with the coming of Mashiach…Amen.

    I’m with OOM… why aren’t those viable options? You can’t be forced to date or marry someone you don’t want to. If you are doing it just to make the shadchan happy, which is a different point of debate on it’s own, then just buck up and bear through one date and then say he isn’t what you want in a husband and explain why. It can help the shadchan hone in on what you want better.
