s2021: Agree with you. When did we loose our identity? I understand that RED is out of the question, but there are so many other beautiful colors to choose from. Black is o.k. every once in a while, but a lack of color is depressing. We are trying to peg everyone into a mold. It is not meant to be that way. It comes to a point that when you finally decide that enough is enough and you put another color on, the attention gets to be on you. Same thing with hair. Why would you want to look like every body else? Don’t be afraid to show the REAL you. There is only one YOU. Embrace yourself, looks, kochos, talents and all.
A First date should definitely be longer that 1/2 hour. What could you possibly get to know in that time? You have a young couple who is just getting over saying Hi to each other. There are also awkward moments to overcome. You have to give a person a chance to defrost and enjoy the date. What is the rush?
HolyMoe: LOL.
I did not realize that there were many broken engagements. Sad. But it’s better now than later.
I did not Raizy Adler has a gown gemach. Very Nice. Beatrice Braun from Lawrence ( I think she lives on Martin Lane ) has beautiful gowns for Mother of the kallah/chosson, and sisters too.
Aliza Safier ( Far Rockaway, on Oak ) has a gown gemach for little girls. (up to preteens I think.) Mazal tov to the happy couple and their families. I love hearing about smachos.
Sorry, I can’t help you there. I personally can’t read a story that is divided into 40 sections. It’s annoying. I like to enjoy a book when I feel like reading it and put it down when I decide when to. I love hearts of gold.( read the book:))
I wish girls would feel more confident with their appearance. obviously any style that is over the top, way too long or wild looking is wrong, but I don’t understand why everybody has to have straight hair. You are who you are. Be the best that you can be.
If you love how you look with curly hair, go for it.
Joyous: Yummy. I make that often.
MDG: I don’t remember which brand it was, but I was surprised that it was Milchige. It has an OU-D.
I know what you mean. It is such a shame. I wish that my children had their grandparents around.
Well, I am not talking about fakers. I am talking about real cases. Are there bad apples out there? Yes. But I am talking about real people who have tried everything. Is it bashert when they had to divore? I don’t know. I just know that it was the best solution.
I don’t think that there is anything wrong with it. When I see pictures of friends and people that I know and did not addend the simcha, I get such enjoyment seeing the happy couple and their families. I feel that I had a chailek somehow in the simcha.
eclipse, I agree with you. Grandparents are such a gift.
O.K. How long does it take to fix the heat? It is not a luxury to have heat. You must have it. Once it is fixed, ask to have your rent reduced for this month. I think it is only fair. Do be careful with space heaters. Some of them are dangerous to use. Layer up. Good luck.
My name:)
You are so very lucky. I an not undermining all the work that goes into it but you get to have your parents around you. My parents live out of town. I don’t see them very often, once a year. I would love for my kids to see kibbud Av V’aim first hand on an ongoing basis.
My heart goes out to them. I can’t begin to imagine what they are going through. May they see Yeshuos very soon.
What was your landlord’s answer when you brought it to his/her attention?
Chanel # 5. I keep going back to it.
tbt: I understand what you are saying. But let’s be real here for a moment. A person can do ALL the checking that can be done, everything comes up roses. Then, after the wedding,R”L, all kinds of things are beginning to reveal themselves. I am sure that you have heard of such cases. Did that person not check and called to find out info. Of course that was done. Now What? Suffer for the rest of their life? What about that children? It is a parent’s achrayus to take of their physical needs and psychological and emotional ones. At what point does a person says: AD KAHN!
Todah. Achshav ani mevina.
tbt: I am not suffering. I am not divorced and you did not say anything that hurt my feelings. I do feel strongly about this topic. I just happened to know a few people who are divorced and they went through such geheinom ,where getting out was the only option. I do agree with you that in our society, some marriages, at the first sign of difficulty, just crumble R”L.
ani lo mevinah
Q: new wardrobe ?
However, at what point do we say :” I really gave it my all”.
We should not know from it, but sometimes you hear terrible stories about unstable people. At what point do you say, “this is not healthy to any of us to continue. What if a person tried and tried for years to work on the marriage, but at the end, it was better for everyone to just end it.
TBT: Sorry that I was not clear. I did end my comment too soon. Yes, everything is bashert but what we do with the opportunities that HaShem gave us is up to us.
Every person has a choice on how to use what has been presented to us.
Mazal Tov. What a B’racha. May we all share only s’machos.
Don’t obsess over it. Start enjoying life. I am not putting down your question, C”V, but your weight B”H is normal. Its not like you need to make major medical decisions to solve it, B”H. Spring will be here soon ( can’t wait ) and then you’ll do some walking around the block. Just remember to eat healthy foods. Diets never
work. If you want to gain wait, then the way to do is is to go on a diet. Also, I keep hearing that it is much healthier to eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 ones. Good lucK.
My daughter likes her American Girl Doll. She also enjoys scrapbooking. She also started to enjoy reading books which I am so happy about.
Every thing that happens in your life is bashert. There is no such thing as random. It is ALL from shamayim. Let’s say you have a couple who got married and after a few years, got divorced. Their children were meant to be born. Was it their zivug? I don’t know. But it is all bashert.
If you think you could do it then go for it. However, you really should speak to a lady doctor and hear what she has to say as far as the work, hours and how she managed to go through college and then medical school. You have to realize that its close to ten years of schooling and residency and all of that before you become a doctor. Think about it carefully and see if you could do it. You have to be focused and have “tunnel vision” for your dream. I wish you much hatzlacha.
I am so sorry. I don’t know why you feel that you will also go off the derech. Say tehilim and show your brother that you love him. You don’t agree with his decision but it’s very important that you show him that you still love him and care about him and is there for him.
A group of people, all from different countries, trying to communicate in English. Each with his/her unique accent.
I can just picture all the funny mistakes.
Nothing exciting. Wondering if I really should start cleaning something for pesach.
I find it ridiculous that people feel so obligated to purchase something that they can hardly afford. A ring, yes. But it does not have to be a rock. Making a wedding is such a simcha and to keep taking out loans because the need to purchase things that are so very expensive and have nothing to do with setting up a house is plain silly. Be honest. This is all I can afford. And if someone has a problem with it, than that is not the person you would for your child.
Mishpacha and Yated.
1. laundry.
2. laundry.
3. laundry.
4. laundry.
And oh, did I mention laundry
I don’t know how good I am , however, I do enjoy drawing and arts n crafts.
Daas Yochid,
You are right. The parents are much more involved with the shiduch and the chassan and kallah are also much younger, since in their circle ,they start with shiduchim earlier than the yeshivish world. It is a system that works for them and that is the main thing.
It is a chasidishe minhag. I find it hard to understand how a chassan and kallah are able to do follow it especially since chassidim do have a longer engagement period.
