    “As it happens, my observation is that he is correct. Women are at the doctor 5 times as often as men. (which may also have to do with why they outlive us.)”

    THat is because women have two doctors per year they have to go to and men one and men don’t have babies!!!

    there is nothing wrong with your mother reminding the shadchan about you. They see 100’s of girls. that is how my sister’s shidduch came about – my mother used to call a few shadchanim every 3-4 weeks and one time one of them asked her son do you know anyone for and she described my sister. The boy thought of someone and it was a shidduch. Keep on calling them. Don’t worry about your size. I was never a size 2,4 6 or 8. The right one will come at the right time.

    you have to put it into the dryer for ten minutes and then shake and hang up. Then they are usually ok – I don’t know if for shabbos

    popa – oh please. Plenty women are better drivers and the only reasons the other are not is because the men are crazy drivers and are scary.

    look at meforshim on the wife of on ben peles. Also I am sure you can find something by sara and hagar (when she sent hagar away). Chocmas nasim bansa baisa…. I’m sure there are more examples out there.

    don’t use kedushas sheviis for havdala – you are supposed to overflow it – how can you be sure you won’t waste any.

    I actually was not so interested in a big wedding. My mohter wanted the big wedding and everything with it. And she is entitled to it. I am sure there are many girls who would take a smaller wedding if given the choice ( at least in my days it was). Many weddings are how the parents want it – it is not just the kids

    I have seven siblings and many cousins friends etc. who have lived/live in Lakewood and none of them demanded a down payment. Most of them are very very grateful for whatever their parents do give them. It is the parents who feel that their kids need it. Please don’t feel guilty – if you can’t afford it don’t do it!! The same thing goes with fancy weddings and bar mitzvahs. Come on – be smart. Don’t blame everyone else.

    one of the better novels is The four Seasons of Golda Mirel by Eva Vogiel. She should write more adult books as opposed to young adult. It is really good. Also Just Between Friends is a book for every newly married (or not) women to read.

    I would also recommend shoshanim. I live in such a community and many girls go there and some community members work there. It is the right type of camp for what sounds like your crowd.

    People just need to learn to respect others. I live outside of Philadelphia and the people in Philly (think black) are a lot more respectful!! A person can stop in middle of the street and start unloading a full car and no one would honk. And it gets plenty busy there. It is the same thing in BP when everyone goes through lights and zooms around other cars. Everyone has to realize that other people are just as important as you are. The 2 hour drive into NY is easier than driving for 5 minutes in BP. I would not live there if you pay me!!!

    Materna formula has now been pulled off shelves in US due to the fact that it is missing some nutrient. You can get Cholov Yisroel liquid Similac.

    Not every baby can stomach Isomil. Many can’t
