    Statistics Statistics Statistics: This many girls will never get married—how could we say such a thing? Where is our bitachon and emunah?

    You want to talk statistics? Statistically the Jews shouldn’t be around anymore at all. Look at all the great nations who tried to wipe us out. Guess what? We are still here.

    Daven, have emunah and bitachon, do chesed and mitzvos, have yiras shomayim.. and leave the rest up to HaKodosh Baruch Hu.

    May all those looking for a shidduch find the right one in the right time.

    BTW- I am not just saying this because my daughter just got engaged. I was saying this way before she met her bashert. I still have bli ayin hara two other children to find shidduchim for – in the right time.

    Hatzlacha to everyone.

    Kesiva V’Chasima Tova!

    29- Whether it was terrorism or a malfunction – it’s a terrible tragedy!

    oomis – The first thing I said when I heard that his priority is to find out if there were any American citizens on board was – did he care that one of the 3 boys was an American citizen? This guy is so full of it. Poor excuse for a president.

    Tell him there were a bunch of Muslims on the plane. Watch him go into mourning.

    Thank you for starting this thread. I was wondering why I didn’t see anything about this situation on the CR yet.

    It’s sad that it takes such an event to bring Klas Yisroel together. Just look at all the videos in the news section of YWN. You see Acheinu Kol Bais Yisroel – all davening together. Chassidish, Litvish, Sfardi, MO, not frum.

    We should be b’achdus ALWAYS! Let’s listen to Hashem’s messages!

    May the 3 boys be sent home safely b’karov!

    mod 42: thanks for the info. but i tried 2nd rinse and also tried smaller load. it was a dark wash so none of the fabrics would have leaked a white color.

    so far this is just a mystery.

    i’ll let everyone know if i figure out a way to get rid of this problem.

    thanks everyone!

    Just decided to do some research. I actually found websites with this info. Here are a couple of paragraphs from 2 diff sites. Admittedly, there are some sites that say there is no correlation.

    But I thought it was interesting anyway.

    Litlle Froggie: ur a little too expensive 😉 But seriously – nope – no tissues, papers, etc.

    rebyidd: nope – no crayons either. And it’s not worn through – these are real stains that appear after washing. And as i said, if i rub well enough it will come off, but it’s such a pain.

    squeak: are you serious or joking? if serious, please elaborate.

    Syag: good one!

    Not bleach. It comes off (most of it) with a lot of rubbing. But still doesn’t look right. It’s so annoying.

    I read the story in the Jewish Press. Quite interesting that he felt connected to the Jews. I found it so interesting that he made comments such as “Tody, I am, with you, a Jew” and a few other things they quoted him saying. Seems like the pintele Yid showing through.

    It is, however, very sad and tragic that he didn’t know he was a Jew. He obviously did not have a Jewish burial and is not in a Jewish cemetery – through no fault of his own.

    notasheep: I was also posting on that thread “the cold never bothered me anyway”. They let some posts through, then suddenly they stopped. When I asked why, it took a while, but they finally answered me that they didn’t want to promote secular movies. (like they said here).

    It’s funny though. Sometimes they let things through that totally shock me and other times they delete relatively “pareve” things.

    Not sure I get it.

    Talking in shul during davening is assur. Whether these stories about avoiding/curing cancer are true or not, obviously I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be surprised. What would it hurt to take on something that might/could/will help? We should all be trying to better ourselves.

    Mr Sfardi – it’s true. I have a friend who one fine Sunday afternoon called me to tell me she is engaged. I was kinda surprised as we were quite close and I thought I’d know when she was “dating” someone seriously. So I asked “Wow – Mazal Tov – how long have you been going out? When did you meet?” Her response- …..”um, we met last night”.

    This was probably about 30 yrs ago. They are B”H still married and have already married off a bunch of kids.

    My husband is sooooooooooooooo frum that he didn’t even propose. He just took me to 47th St. in Manhattan and we walked into a store where he told me to pick out a setting. Now, isn’t that romantic? BTW, I think this was on our 3rd date. Well – it apparently worked out- our 24th anniversary is this June IY”H.
