I currently have a blackberry and iPod touch. The battery on the blackberry is perfect for me. I only need to charge it every night. I use my iPod for music, some apps, and surfing the web. I find that its battery is drained before the end of the day. I also find it much easier to type with physical keys but I would give that up…
Give the name, call her something else.
And I thought making the girls fly in to the guys hometown was bad…
“The iPhone 4 can definitely last at least a full day.”
Using what features? Would I be able to play music for about 3 hours, send about 300 messages (email and text), and talk on the phone for an hour?
popa_bar_abba:
You are too funny!
I downloaded a bunch of shiurim from the shmuz podcast for my iPod. He is a really good, practical speaker. Now where can I get my bumper sticker??
“Anyone who marries someone for the benefit of the klal is an idiot.”
Most definitely.
No.
Regarding checking the girl out when she walks in…
Guys, please. Not so obvious! My friends have told me about guys who stare at them for a REALLY long time. By all means, check her out, just please be a little more discrete about it.
“Can you set up various email account on an iPhone?”
Yes.
maah:
But don’t they have the option not to be on TV?
I heard that the battery life on a blackberry is much better than an iPhone. I was considering the iPhone but I refuse to carry around a charger.
mischiefmaker:
Yup, I saw it. It was a heck of a long proposal!
AZ:
You brought up the idea of paying the shadchan for x number of dates. I disagree. Many times people will go out on several dates when they are unsure to get better clarity. If they know that by ex. date #3 they will have to pay $100, they might not do it. Thus, you get rid of the possibility of the guy/girl getting used to each other after several dates. Additionally, this is a very costly expense for many families in our community.
I always said that principals and roshei yeshiva should get together and try to make shidduchim. Not that it will end up happening…
Trying my best:
It’s nice that you don’t think so but most boys definitely “check out” their dates. Some more discretely than others…
cshapiro:
I agree with that! Keep it up popa!
Helpful: Like TheGoq said, they didn’t necessarily go to a coed HS and even if they did, chill.
so right:
In what way is it a detriment?
new2thescene and youdontknowme:
Very well said! And this is coming from a girl!
Ice skating! But the rest of L613 and telegrok’s ideas are also good.
As much as everyone says boys have the upper hand I really haven’t notice that…
Sac-
I know someone who only wanted a thin girl – it was his top priority. Shallow? Maybe. But if that’s what he wanted and saw a pic of a girl who isn’t thin, why should he have gone out with her? It’s a waste of both their times. For the record, he is happily married (to a thin girl) with several children.
Anyone can get an idea of what the person looks like from a picture. Although I personally don’t send pics, I don’t think it’s so terrible.
Sac-
She’s not being summed up in a 3×5. That’s being provided in addition to lots of other info.
I got the same psak as AinOhdMilvado.
Perhaps speaking proper English would help…
I agree with #1 and #3 but the others? Come on! So they don’t identify themselves – big deal! If you must know, ask who they are. It’s as simple as that. And like someone else said, #4 makes sense so they can have a rough estimate of when would be a good time to call again.
aries2756:
Why is his character at fault? Do you advocate him marrying girl #2 because it wouldn’t be nice to drop her after they were getting serious? To me the boy sounds confused and I hope everything works out for the best.
Mod 80 –
I was wondering…
I don’t see why it’s anyone’s business besides the person buying it. If this is how he wants to spend his money, good for him.
Eclipse is now be ignored.
I recall a thread on this but can’t find it…
Whoa, give the guy a break. I agree he shouldn’t be proposing to someone he is “lukewarm” about. But the fact that his dream girl is suddenly available changes things. I think he should most definitely date her if possible. What are the rules of double dating at this point? (Don’t shoot me, this is an extreme case!)
tzippi:
Most of us have stopped taking mosherose seriously a long while ago…
frumladygit:
Bottom line is don’t look down upon us who drink Starbucks coffee when we were told it’s completely muttar. If you don’t want to drink it, fine. Just keep your holier than thou attitude away from it.
Geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.
real-brisker:
BTW, did you actually go to Brisk?
Caraville closed?? Wow, I’m behind the times…
Yeah, tb. I agree with that. If the girl wants a serious kollel life she should be educated as to what that entails and shouldn’t be pitied anymore than a husband who goes to work.
WIY:
Thanks. I’m gonna check. It reminds me of the flying alarm clock. I had that until it flew under my dresser and wouldn’t keep quiet until I got on all fours at 6:30AM to retrieve it. Bad memories…although it definitely did the job of getting me out of bed.
There’s no guarantee that the husband will learn for 5 years after marriage even if both spouses agree to it. When people ask information they focus so much on life plans. Pray tell what 23 year old knows EXACTLY what he will be doing 10 years down the road. Granted, they have some idea of what direction life will take them but you hear about people who will refuse to date someone because he’s only planning on learning for 5 years and they want 7. No one knows where life will take them so it’s time to be just a little more flexible.
Do they have it for other smartphones like the iPhone and Blackberry?
I’m not saying it means a Harry. I’m saying that the way people can’t describe Harry is the same way they can’t describe greasy.
Didn’t know that – thanks for the info.
My brother can’t stand when people talk differently to a baby. He always said the kid will understand you much better if you say, for example, “crib” instead of “criby.”
theres just so much 2 b thankful 4:
It’s like a “Harry.” I have asked countless people (even started a thread in the CR) and no one can give me a clear cut answer. They all say “when you see one, you know.”
Someone told me that it’s muttar to get a soda from McDonalds nowadays because people assume that you’re not going in for the treif food. Which brings the question of what is considered maras ayin in this day in age…
I think it means VERY yeshivish.
One where you can find the closest minyan to your current location – technically you can check online but this would be easier.
