Okay, mods. You approved the second thing I posted on this thread, but not the first. What was wrong with it. It was my answer to the question, “What would you like to be when you grow up?”
I answered, “A mommy.”
What’s wrong with that?
It isn’t deleted. It never came through. -95
What’s stopping you from now doing whatever it is you wish?
She’s too busy chasing after her kids to do anything else.
Haifa girl, how many times did you edit, spell check and proof read what you just wrote so I couldn’t find one mistake on you?
I usually do it as I go along.
From the time I started talking, my parents made sure that I spoke correctly. Proper grammar is absolutely natural to me.
From the time I was in first grade, spelling was a required subject. I never liked getting less than 100 on a spelling test. And my parents made sure to tell me how proud they were of me when I got those 100s.
I thought this thread was going to be about Grammar Enforcement Commandos who let a lot of unedited copy (spelling & grammar mistakes) go through 🙂
I taught 45 hours last week. Add to that the prep time. I wasn’t here very often.
Why a pressure censor? It should be an infrared censor.
No censors, please. Perhaps a sensor would be useful.
msseeker, at first I thought your idea was cute and innocent. I even would vote you as the UO rep. However, although I myself am a Satmar lady I am questioning why you would insult MO by offering them to represent the Reform side of the debate?
Only a reform type should be offered such a position as it would coincide with his beliefs, no?
WHy should a shomer shabbos, torah observant Modern orthodox jew be interested to defend and pronounce Reform Judaism as valid?
Reform is like a church.
Read the OP again. He (She?) used the example of an Orthodox vs. Reform debate but is proposing a UO vs. MO debate, NOT an Orthodox vs. Reform debate.
In other words, the UO person would represent the UO position and the MO person would represent the MO position, not the Reform position.
These stories reminded me of the kids of a friend of mine.
I remember telling someone else about these kids. I said they start their terrible twos at 18 months. The person asked how long it lasts. I replied, “I don’t know. The oldest one is only 13.” BTW, he is now grown and is a rabbi.
I remember the day one of the kids “decorated” a bedroom door. At least it wasn’t a window.
And there was the Shabbos two of the kids emptied a container of peaches in heavy syrup onto the floor and then rolled around in it.
If you can afford it, you can get wallpaper that is meant to be drawn on. That might help a little.
In the meantime, thank Hashem you have kids. There are many of us who would be grateful to have your challenges.
P.S. As with all gowns, make sure to have your seamstress add another batch of stitches on all seams to make sure your gown doesn’t open during dancing.
Boro Park Girl: I am so impressed. Your were the first one on this thread to spell “seam” correctly.
Good job!
The one in Chicago is under the cRc.
Bar Shattya, i see where the mods get it to call U a dolt! U dont ditch a girl in middle of a date because it is rude and disrespectful, but there should be no reason to agree to date #2 before date #1.
To add to what PBA said, you are saying there is no reason to be rude and disrespectful, yet you called someone else a dolt?! Apparently you don’t have any problems being rude and disrespectful.
It would have been nice if they had offered you an ice also. However, as far as what you were doing, that is what you were paid to do.
The man was certainly wrong to cut your rope (it was your rope, wasn’t it?).
I used to know a Meir Meir.
FTR, I have never worn a kallah’s jewelery and was, BH, successful in finding a spouse. 🙂
Wolf,
I am very happy about both of those things. 🙂
For those who prefer to read English, I’ll translate:
What do you do when you have been loading a car for 45 minutes, and the parent tells the kids to go get ices and does not offer you one? Do you say something or not?
should we take a pole here?
I’ll take Frederic Chopin. He’s always been my favorite Pole.
I don’t enjoy classical music. I need loud beaty music.
You sound like someone who doesn’t know classical music. Remind me after Tisha B’Av and I’ll recommend some loud, “beaty” music.
Thanks for the promotion to “Chief.” I’m truly honored. I just hope I can live up to your confidence in me. 😉
Go to the American Mensa web site and play games.

It doesn’t always work, as someone pointed out in a previous thread. It works only if the middle letters are mixed in a particular way.
Excellent post, shlishi.
Get enough sleep.
I was losing my hair. My doctor told me to take iron. I did and the hair loss stopped. Don’t know if that will work for everybody. Iron bisglycinate doesn’t have the side effects of regular iron pills.
Don’t we have these rumors every year? I hope this year it’s true.
Q: What’s the penalty for polygamy?
A: Two wives. 🙂
I heard it differently.
Q: What’s the penalty for having two wives?
A: Two mothers-in-law.
There’s a 9 days thread that isn’t closed that has several suggestions (from me).
On Shabbos if I’m at someone else’s house. Very rarely any other time.

As a former waitress I can tell you leaving no tip is usually interpreted as the person forgot. Leaving 1 or 2 pennies sends a message.
I’ve already admitted in another thread to being ancient.
I wouldn’t let someone do gellila who talks during leining.
It’s hard to keep quiet if you’re the one doing the leining.
yes i am heavily outvoted, because some people are afraid to support this suggestion, for fear that they will be “bashed” by other people for not being frum enough or something. If everyone would feel free to speak their minds, this suggestion would probably have a lot more support.
On the other hand, it just possibly could be since it is an anonymous site, most of us do feel free to speak our minds. It’s just possible that you are outvoted because we are the normal ones.
i dont think anyone should go into a marriage thinking of divorce.
I don’t think anyone goes into marriage thinking of divorce. For one thing, I think it’s against halacha.
I’ve a relative who got divorced after like 13 years and a few kids. I imagine he can’t regret getting married. He lived. He wears a tallis. He doesn’t get gellila.
I’m sure the person the OP referred to did not go into marriage thinking “in 13 years I’m going to get divorced.” It seems obvious s/he tried to make the marriage work.
The question is, is that better than never getting married? The answer is an unequivocal “yes.”
I would agree he probably doesn’t regret getting married. Someone who is divorced is treated totally differently (read better) than someone who was never married.
Plus, he has kids. That makes everything worth it.
The CR is simply stupendous.
The topics are always tremendous.
But I get quite dismayed
at mistakes that are made.
The grammar is often horrendous!
I’m an English teacher (but that should be obvious). I’m ancient.
Is it okay to light Shabbat candles with a lighter?
Why not?
. . . there is a limit to what can be done by yourself.
There is? What is it?
It has something to do with the flame being like a neshama, but that’s all I know. But yes, we don’t blow out candles.

Hard to tell which way you lean. Could it toward the “normal” side? I guess that would make the other side abnormal. Hmmm . . .
I know I posted this before in another thread, but I know from my friends who have children the customary fee, at least among that group of people, is $1000 per side.
A friend of mine who hangs with a different group told me she and her machatunim agreed to give the shadchan “more than the usual fee” because they knew she wasn’t well off. They each gave $900 so the total would be chai.
I much prefer going places by myself. I guess I’m selfish.
I believe it is, but I couldn’t remember the name.
Seriously – know-one? Really? No one? No body? As far as that goes, I really wouldn’t want a body waiting on me.
Google the “Harry/Sally Rule.”
Ha ha ha – a girl from haifa has to correct my english!. Since becoming Chassidishe my English is as good – its true or maybe its mommy brain?.
Of course I have to. Nobody else seems to want to. And by the way, I’m a girl from Haifa (with a capital H) and I teach English (with a capital E).
Your English is as good as what?
“It’s” should have an apostrophe (in both places), and you don’t need a period after an exclamation point or a question mark.
besides for the nice view from the surgical table in the 4 star O.R where i recieved 1st class treatment and later recuperated , and that DEFINATELY was refreshing as i had many quiet hours to reflect and have hakirus hatoiv for all the brachas in my life, and feeling thankful that i am still amongst the living- being that i just went through GIVING BIRTH …. which is a life & DEATH situation.
You really should start your sentences with a capital letter. Also, “I” is always capitalized. “‘I’ before ‘e,’ except after ‘c’ . . .” Take a look at “received.”
Then again, “definitely” could definitely use some help, too.
that would all make for an interesting title to write an essay entitled “what I did on my summer vacation” for a class.
I’m not even going to try to tackle that sentence.
Have a great summer.
I’m more afraid of NOT growing old.
Thank you to the mods.
