Flowers, how old are your children?
I love milchige chocolate. Don’t like pareve. Le Chocolate has the most amazing chocolate ever. Yummy
My crock pot has a teflon layer in it. Chulent literally slides out of the pot. Clean time is a breeze.
It’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.
Chutzpah. I can’t tolerate it.
I once heard that it’s the law to put up the flag on the highest point in the city.
Yemos HaMashiach are right here. We are seeing tragedies of epic, biblical proportions. IY”H we will all be in Yerushalayim soon.
YOYO: Saw your post and started laughing. What’s for supper?
Bagel and lox. Pastries, tea or coffee.
A 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.
You meant to say hate and not ate. Right?
Yogibooboo: 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.
Oh. I always say shelo asani goy. That is what I was taught.
You can’t change your spouse. You can definitely grow together in different areas of life, but I don’t think you can change.
popa: lol:)
yogibooboo: 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.
My husband.
Remember 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?
Going to work.
Itche: Really? You mean, you just put it on the ends of the tzitzis?
WITS is a Chofetz Chaim Yeshiva in Milwaukee.
Everything 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.
I think it is wonderful that men are going into the nursing field. There is definitely a need for male nurses.
Very 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.
My 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.
Yes 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.
It 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.
I 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.
Of 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?
I think that Yekkim don’t sing Ayshes Chayil.
Leizor: I don’t think you are ready to get married.
Whatever 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.
I 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.
Popa: 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.
Most 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.
A week is a fair amount of time. For the boy and the girl. Any longer is not fair and just plain rude.
This 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.
What 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.
Leizor: 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.
I like Royal. My kids love A&B. I bake mine in the oven.
They 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.
This 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.
