One of my students sent me the link to LazerBeams site by Rabbi Lazer Brody (the one who writes all those books/translated from the Hebrew.)It’s great,videos and all!
All the single “kids” in the CR sound amazing….my most sincere wishes for the best shidduchim ever to every single one of you.Don’t let crazy stories like mine scare you–it’s what I needed to go thru,NOT YOU.
wanderingchana–YES!TOTALLY!
Oh wait,I take that back!I AM loved,after all!How could I forget??Thanks,Bbubbee!
Boruch Levine,Abie Rothenberg,and Chaim Fogelman
Honestly,great friends and all,I know for a fact that all the relatives who truly loved me are not alive anymore.Both sets of grandparents,and my mother.
yosel…I for one am going back to my Amish life at the end of this week.
Health–You? No!You said your ex talked a lot to others and you feel they convinced her she was being abused.So I am saying–talking to friends about EVERYTHING is not okay.
But I know zilch about your situation…and am not judging it.
Hey…did you say my poems are long-winded??
Oops–the chizuk part is in the theme and the songs.
Thought you’d never ask!:)
Ok,great light food/refreshments/flowers,etc.
My friend plays keyboard;we always end with singing.Those who prefer to shmuz then,do.
We say a 5 to 10 mt.little speech on the “theme” we chose for that month.
We both compose our own songs,so we perform one or two of those.
Sometimes,we do a short comedy skit–making the guests laugh is so much fun!
Before you turn around 2 hours has gone by,I make everyone take all the nosh with them…and we all feel great!
Health,did you read my poem called Mechitzah?
On that thread,I clearly rule out throwing all your marriage issues out there as if EVERYTHING IS UP FOR DISCUSSION with ANYONE.In other words,I agree with you.
“restless eyes”–I meant there is already a problem,not CAUSED by external factors….just exacerbated by it.
Popa,I get it–you were “tongue-in-cheek”…
What I meant by “do the trick” was,
if a guy is seeking “trouble”,
any skirt and sheitl will do-NOT YOUR FAULT.
But stirring up a GOOD GUY WHO IS TRYING SO HARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING IS JUST RISH’US.
I see how valiantly my own boys try to be shomer aynayim,I wish I could protect them from it all…
typos are often comical
Since when does “appropriately” mean unattractively?
Let’s not get confused here.
You can look put together ALL the time!
If a guy has “restless eyes”,yes,even that will do the trick.
But you don’t have to look like Rebitzen Shlumpola–just don’t be going out of your way to knock everyone’s eyes out!
litvish guys stay out all night too
of course– I’m not into cold curt answers.I let them both see that outside everyone seems 100% jolly…and that we all get tired and cranky sometimes.
smartcookie,we need more tznius trendsetters
Lomed,thanks.
Over the very many years that I was married,two friends’ husbands asked me if I could “get ” their wives to be more optimistic about things;they thought their wives complained too much.
I very quickly made myself sound very imperfect “Oh,I complain in the house,etc.” because I did not want them to entertain the thought for even ONE SECOND that anyone was better than their own wives in any way.
When a man sees someone elses’s wife and starts wondering how much better she is than what he has at home,he is treading on dangerous territory.
Prutzos who INTEND to turn the heads of other married men are playing with fire!
Can you open a conv.with him saying,”It’s funny,but I still think about my grandfather so often….”? See if he intuits the depth of your loss from that.
Ask for a copy of Hakhel’s gemach booklet.It is comprehensive.
Lomed,not always is a spouse abusive because HIS WIFE made him feel inferior.Sometimes,the wife starts out in awe of the guy,BUT HIS OWN UNRESOLVED ISSUES OF CHILDHOOD,coupled with really stupid advice from his peers and mentors cause his abusive behavior to become unbearable.
I would like to take this opportunity to say:
Many of us now-single mothers had to become strong and unafraid IN ORDER TO RUN OUR HOMES AND TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILDREN ON OUR OWN.Do not jump to the totally WRONG conclusion that this new-found strength IS WHAT SCARED THE POOR LITTLE HUSBANDS.
You could not be further from the truth!
1.Hosts should not yent about their guests after they leave.Period.
2.Let your kids hear you say how NICE it was to have had….over.Period.
