    Here are my answers:

    “What?!You have …(amt.)kids and you got divorced? DIDN’T YOU HAVE ANY SELF-CONTROL???”

    It’s obvious that I do have self-control, otherwise I would have punched you.

    “What?!You were married …(amt.)years and THEN you got divorced?Why on earth did you WAIT so long??”

    I was waiting for your advice.

    “Oh,don’t worry,you can get back together–even after a ‘get’,really!”

    “DID YOU EVER CONSIDER INITIATING MARRIAGE COUNSELLING?”

    OH! Where was my head?! Why didn’t I think of that!?

    “You know who suffers from the selfishness of the parents?Your kids!”

    And do you know who suffers from the selfishness of inconsiderate yentas who think they know everything?

    AZ,

    girls/their parents

    Whoever’s signing the check (or the girl being “careful” with her parents’ money); I understand that.

    You’re taking it a step further than me; I would only expect it to be a m’akev for the 4th date, not the 1st. Would a girl (or parents of a girl) who is having a hard time finding anyone to go out with her really turn down a yes because of $150 unless it seems like a sure thing?

    Try a conversation like this:

    Me:So my daughter came to visit…

    She:Make sure she always feels welcome!

    Me:Nah,then she’d want to come back…

    She:What!You don’t want her to visit?

    Me:Of course,and it’s a given…

    Depends if I think there’s a check inside. If I do, I’ll make sure to open it before I throw it out.

    Am I correct that when you refer to a “downside”, you mean that the cost will prevent a girl from agreeing to continue to meet a boy if it doesn’t seem very promising?

    SJS,

    My point is that from a halachic perspective, I don’t think theories which have not been accepted should be used as grounds to be lenient (for one who otherwise would not be).

    I spoke to a pediatrician this morning (not the one I mentioned earlier) who told me that the hormone issue with soy formula is not generally accepted in mainstream medical practice.

    He also told me that in the Chassidic community he practices in, most frum people do not rely on cholov stam, and many use soy formula for that reason.

    mbachur, I wouldn’t worry. This from abcnews:

    The report from the American Academy of Pediatrics also referred to theories that some of the hormones in soy protein formulas can interfere with an infant’s reproductive development because of their similarity to the human hormone estrogen. But no studies have supported these ideas.

    That report recommends milk based formula, because there is “no reason” to use soy. Well, we have a good reason, so I don’t know if a posek would say to use chalav stam based on unsubstantiated theories. I certainly wouldn’t worry about it after the fact.

    Does anybody have any real studies showing a problem with soy?

    Is there an age gap problem in the Sephardic community? If not, maybe the Sephardic boys should marry Ashkenazi girls to help even things out.

    I needed to take a short break.

    As you present the issue, the break was needed. It was therefore part of the job. So you gave the full 5 hours. (Even had you not used the term “needed”, a fifteen minute break would certainly be a reasonable expectation.)

    Um, U followed by pareve is the Kosher dairy symbol?

    I copied straight from the site – I hadn’t noticed that part!

    Unless you have health concerns with milk-based formula, I’d avoid the soy. Better to drink cholov stam formula than have these side effects.

    Very possible, especially if the baby is exclusively on soy. If it’s a supplement to nursing, it might not be an issue (I haven’t seen the studies; if CY formula wasn’t available, I’d do more research).

    It is preferable but NOT a halachic necessity (as stated by OU R Blumenkrantz ZTL and others) to buy liquid premade formula

    Possibly, it’s because a small amount of chametz would have been batel, but if you mix it on Pesach, even minute amounts do not become batel.

    In a way you’re possibly increasing Jewish sales of music in the future.

    The same thing could be said for any music. Yet the secular music industry has spent millions of dollars to cut down on copying. They seem to feel that they make more money if no one copies.
