    The story has hit the NY Post, including their last name.

    I would make sure the real name is Hencha. I knew someone who was called Hancha, but the real name was Chana. It could be worse though, I knew someone who wanted an einekel named “Schwartzel”. Suffice to say, that did not wash. (I think in Polish, it was Charna, but alas she was Hungarian.)

    Interesting video, Rabbi V and I happen to know you too. BTW, I have seen two cases on the People’s court with frum people who I personally know. Trust me, the cases are real.

    I am with Telegrok. If I knew I was your second choice and you cannot get another girl out of your head, quite frankly, I would be well rid of you. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but who wants a marriage like that?

    Yes, I do know someone who met his wife on SawYouAtSinai. As far as I know, they have reputable shadchanim working there. Hatzalacha!

    Smart, I know I got a good deal on the Kiki. Well, it was on sale and it was a precut. Maybe having it as a precut makes it more affordable. Yet, it was the style that I like and the length was perfect. If you are in the Brooklyn area, check out the Torah Times; a lot of sheitel places are having sales.

    Smart, I got the first Kiki a year ago on sale for $1,000 and the hair is still great on that one. I just bought the second for $1150. BTW, I bought my daughter a Shevy fall when she was engaged and it really did not last that long. It thinned out and the bottom of the hair tended to tangle. She added hair to it, but really did not make much of a difference.

    I have two Kikis that I am very happy with. Also, Helpful, I did order a Paula Young sheitel to wear in bad weather under a hat. I have to say it was pretty bad, so I would not recommend that route.

    A load of a laundry in a front loader takes about an hour.

    The indirect is twice as much money and the installation costs more too.

    Ron, we did not get indirect hot water with the system. We did order a new AO Smith hot water tank which cost about $750 with installation.

    Last year, we updated from oil to gas and we are very happy. The cost of a gas burner is cheaper than an oil burner . You also do not have to wait for oil delivery anymore and the heat comes up in about 15 minutes (instead of 35 with the oil heater.) There are independent dealers or plumbers who can tell you which size you need. We got the Burnham one too and we used a local Brooklyn dealer. They were very efficient and clean. I hope this has been of some help.

    You can go anywhere along Emmons Avenue past Ocean Avenue (near Loehmanns). There is a small inlet on East 27th Street and Emmons that is very convenient.

    I was told that Razag, Ateres Avrohom, Ateres Chaya and Eden Palace are all about the same price. There is a new hall on Coney Island and Avenue where they advertise for $48 a couple. Maybe check that one out. Good luck and mazel tov!
