doodle jumpParticipant
Flowers, how old are your children?
doodle jumpParticipantI love milchige chocolate. Don’t like pareve. Le Chocolate has the most amazing chocolate ever. Yummy
doodle jumpParticipantMy crock pot has a teflon layer in it. Chulent literally slides out of the pot. Clean time is a breeze.
doodle jumpParticipantIt’s very tempting to blame the yeshiva and principal. However, we really don’t know the whole story. There are always three sides to a story. His side, their side and the truth. I can’t imagine that a principle who is aware of teens that are going off the derech R”L, would make such a terrible choice.
May 11, 2011 3:59 am at 3:59 am in reply to: What makes your blood pressure go up on a scale of 1-10? #765861doodle jumpParticipantChutzpah. I can’t tolerate it.
doodle jumpParticipantI once heard that it’s the law to put up the flag on the highest point in the city.
doodle jumpParticipantWould you mind including numbers please. It will make my job so much easier. Thanks. Also include fees.
March 18, 2011 12:46 am at 12:46 am in reply to: IS ANYONE ELSE SCARED THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END??? #750980doodle jumpParticipantYemos HaMashiach are right here. We are seeing tragedies of epic, biblical proportions. IY”H we will all be in Yerushalayim soon.
doodle jumpParticipantYOYO: Saw your post and started laughing. What’s for supper?
doodle jumpParticipantBagel and lox. Pastries, tea or coffee.
February 27, 2011 5:02 am at 5:02 am in reply to: Describe the classiest Mishloach Manos you got #744762doodle jumpParticipantA long time ago, I made misholach manos with a bottle of champagne, ( maybe it was white wine.) fancy crackers, a wheel of cheese and grapes.
doodle jumpParticipantYou meant to say hate and not ate. Right?
doodle jumpParticipantYogibooboo: Totally agree with you. However, forget about the mess for a second. It is mamash sakanas nefashos. Speak to any Hatzalah member and he will tell you what goes on in hospitals on purim. It is scary. Kids become really sick. HaShem Yishmor.
doodle jumpParticipantseeallsides: Can we come to your seudah? Yumm.
Yogibooboo: Agree. I was just wondering if I was the only one who does not offer dessert.
doodle jumpParticipantaries: I am sorry about your loss. May you have only simchas from now on. I like your idea about the heros.
doodle jumpParticipantyogi: Do you bother making a dessert?
February 27, 2011 2:22 am at 2:22 am in reply to: Ladies, do you say ??? ???? ???? and ??? ???? ????? #745474doodle jumpParticipantOh. I always say shelo asani goy. That is what I was taught.
doodle jumpParticipantPopa: Chas Veshalom. I would never call a purim Seudah Uch. The
scene you described was just very unpleasant to read. Now, recipes please.
doodle jumpParticipantYou can’t change your spouse. You can definitely grow together in different areas of life, but I don’t think you can change.
doodle jumpParticipantPopa: The scene you just described is Uch!
Seriously, Any ideas? Anybody?
doodle jumpParticipantpopa: lol:)
doodle jumpParticipantyogibooboo: Hatzlacha in Bnos Sara. It is a highly academic school. It is not a reject school, as you say, at all. It is one of the very top seminaries out there. Guess what? Not everyone wants to go to BJJ.
February 25, 2011 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm in reply to: Who do you perceive as the happiest person you know? #744990doodle jumpParticipantMy husband.
doodle jumpParticipantRemember having only channels 2,4,5,7,9,11 and 13?
What about car phones? They were the size of a small shoe box.
Ditto machines in school? Your hands were blue from the ink and it got onto everything you touched.
Paper dolls and all the accessories that came with it?
doodle jumpParticipantGoing to work.
doodle jumpParticipantItche: Really? You mean, you just put it on the ends of the tzitzis?
doodle jumpParticipantWITS is a Chofetz Chaim Yeshiva in Milwaukee.
doodle jumpParticipantEverything is min Hashamayim. You will get accepted to the seminary that you were meant to be in. Don’t sweat over it. You will make nice friends IY”H and get together with your old ones too.
I could be wrong, but I believe that most seminaries have the same roster of speakers, like: Rabbi Orlofsky and Chanoch Teller. So, you will get a lot out of it. Have fun. It goes by so quickly.
doodle jumpParticipantI think it is wonderful that men are going into the nursing field. There is definitely a need for male nurses.
doodle jumpParticipantVery light pink color. As long as it does not attract attention, it’s perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with it. My daughters also wear very light/skin tone colors.
doodle jumpParticipantMy boys were huge sports fan. One was into baseball and I think he outgrew it. My other one is very into basketball. He likes to go to the garden and watch the nicks.
doodle jumpParticipantYes I would. It is a special year indeed, but it does not take away from the person’s whole being if she did not go to seminary.
February 21, 2011 12:53 am at 12:53 am in reply to: bringing babies and small children to megillah reading #742984doodle jumpParticipantIt is not acceptable to bring babies and children to shul whom you know will have a hard time being quiet. It is not fair. Do the right thing and stay home. You can hear the meggilah at a later time.
doodle jumpParticipantI am sure that they are not talking about their children. They are talking about an extremely painful and difficult time in their lives. Probably a period of years and years.
doodle jumpParticipantOf course: I feel bad that you have not gotten over it. Chas veshalom, I am not minimizing the feelings that you must have had and still have. I guess people did not take the time to look around and see that you were standing there. I am sure it was not personal. Careless, yes. Personal, no. I feel that to leave one’s shul over this is a little drastic. Just my opinion.
Let it go. It has been twenty years. There is a freedom in letting go of annoying situations. Why carry it around?
doodle jumpParticipantI think that Yekkim don’t sing Ayshes Chayil.
doodle jumpParticipantLeizor: I don’t think you are ready to get married.
doodle jumpParticipantWhatever you feel you need to say, it should be said with Derech Eretz. To curse? Why? For a watch? Please!! It is so not nice.
doodle jumpParticipantI personally felt that a week is a fair amount of time. I could be wrong but it does take time to make the necessary phone calls. One day to wait seems a little “eager” to me. Just my opinion.
doodle jumpParticipantPopa: I feel that a week is a fair amount of time to make a decision. Sometimes, when you call the references, either they are not available to speak, or out for the evening or the line is busy.
Usually, there are a few numbers listed for references. It takes time. However, longer than a week is just plain rude.
doodle jumpParticipantMost definitely smart. Friends come and go. No need to be SO popular. All you need are two or three really close friends. Friends come and go. Family is forever. Smart is the way to go. Does not mean you have to be a nerd. Just smart.
doodle jumpParticipantA week is a fair amount of time. For the boy and the girl. Any longer is not fair and just plain rude.
doodle jumpParticipantThis information is not too much to handle. Why would you ever want to hurt a girl’s feelings? She is looking forward to going out. Also, who says that the girl was not being honest? Maybe the shadchan was not honest. Maybe there could be tens of other reasons.
Go out. Have fun. obviously you were not meant to know that piece of information until now. You did say that your parents did extensive checking. Hatzlacha.
February 14, 2011 12:39 am at 12:39 am in reply to: Parents/kids do their own thing, and the parents have excellent Shalom Bayis! #748051doodle jumpParticipantWhat a B’racha. Parnassah is from HaShem. To have a calm, happy household where the husband and wife are madly in love with each other and the kids are happy and joking around? That is amazing. What should they do? Scream at each other that there is no money to pay the bills? do you know what a skill they are passing on to their children? Everything if from HaShem. AWESOME. If a person is doing his hishtadlus in every situation, what more can you ask for? Would the family feel better if chas veshalom he will have a break down? I am sorry to hear about the kids behavior problems. IY”H that would work out too. As far as family members are helping them, Do you think that they are the only ones that get help from their family? These are difficult times and lots of people are suffering. IY’H they should have a yeshua very soon, but until then, they sound like an amazing couple.
doodle jumpParticipantLeizor: You should never ask for a present. Whether your in laws are in a position to give and don’t want to or they are in a tough financial situation, it is their decision and theirs alone. Jewelry does not make a marriage. Presents don’t make a marriage. Let’s be honest here for a second. Who do you think is buying the watch? Not your kallah. She has no money. (unless she has been working for years and putting money aside.) It is your future in laws that will. Think about it this way. You are marrying your kallah. That is the best present in the world. IY”H you both will be able to purchase presents for each other in the future. That will mean so much more. When a couple toils and works for the good of each other, their marriage will be successful and no present in the world in worth it.
doodle jumpParticipantI like Royal. My kids love A&B. I bake mine in the oven.
doodle jumpParticipantThey are not ENTITLED to anything. A ring for her and a watch for him, if he wants to. There is an Inyan to give a watch for the chosson. Besides for that, nothing else is a must.
February 13, 2011 8:34 pm at 8:34 pm in reply to: Any ideas for a good entree to serve Purim? #739873doodle jumpParticipantThis is absolutely delicious. Take puff pastry squares. put on a small and thin piece of chicken cutlets (about 2×2) seasoned with grill seasoning. I like to use pereg brand. The truth is that I just happened to have that in the house so I used it. You can use a mixture of garlic powder and paprika and it will be just as delicious. On top put a thin slice of kishka. Fold into a triangle and bake until golden brown. Serve with mushroom sauce. Amazing.
doodle jumpParticipantWolf: Totally agree that, for the chosson/kallah, it’s not coming to them and they do have to understand that sometimes situations change. However, parents have to use seichel and realize that it’s very easy to get swept up in all of the excitement, but after the wedding, you are left with huge bills that have to be paid.
Always here was sick over this the entire engagement. It is her simcha too. a person does not have to buckle under from the pressure. I find it so chutzpadik that the mechutanim wanted the same huge chasunah as the rest of their kids had. Very nice. Who is footing the bill? If they have money and really want to have the “same”, they should have paid the difference. How can you enforce your life style on someone who can’t afford it? Then we are wondering where is the chutzpah coming from? We are wondering about broken shiduchim and marriages. If a person is raised with the attitude that a temper tantrum is carried for long enough, he/she will get to have it. No matter the cost. Maybe for the first couple of tantrums, they get the new car, shaitel, ring, house, vacations, whatever. Fill in the blank your choice of luxury, but after a while, that a spouse can no longer handle it. How much money earned is “enough” to live on? Whatever is given is not good enough, not fast enough.
doodle jumpParticipantSorry to hear about your agmas nefesh. Baruch HaShem your son got married. May you celebrate only smachos in good health.
Let me ask you a question. I mean this only in the best possible way, as I want learn. Why could you not stand your ground and say :
“This is all that I can afford”.
