I’m not sure if it’s an actual “sparkle” or “twinkle.” It may be from light reflecting in a person’s eye.
A person with twinkling eyes is smiling and happy. When this person talks to you, you feel like they like you. This person talks in an animated way.
It’s possible that when a person smiles or speaks in an animated fashion, their eyes change shape. This can cause light to be reflected in a certain way, causing the “sparkle” or “twinkle.”
I turn myself around so my head is by the foot board. Changing positions help. If that doesn’t work – If I don’t fall asleep after 45 minutes, then I get up and read in the living room for like 30 minutes and try again.
I also used to think up crazy math problems in my head and try to solve them. It was so complex that I could think about anything else and fell asleep.
Shiurim also help you relax and clear your mind. I put my mp3 on very quiet and listen to it until I’m about to doze off.
Zees – My mother already taught me that 🙂
It’s not your computer. It’s a problem with movie maker. It happens to anyone who uses it. The best thing to do is to save after every move you make. So if it crashes, you only lose the last bit that you didn’t save.
Well…if they are just kvetching – they want sympathy. If they are asking you lots of questions about what to do next after all the kvetching they want advice.
Pesach is the time of redemption!
Just let her know that you are always there for her, so she can fallback on you if any trouble comes her way. I don’t think pushing her back into a friendship would help. She needs some time to think “the misunderstandings” over. It’s just important that she knows you are there and you care.
What about a blog? You may be able to get money from adds. Ask The Wolf about life in the blogosphere.
So you’re saying that many people have trouble with shidduchim. It can be their family insisting that they marry someone not their type or their parents not being financially well off or their parents being sick or mentally unstable. ???
And then for other people, their parents are too easygoing or unconfident. Or something is “just wrong” with them.
So you are wondering why people with “normal” “regular” families, with a good background, pretty and smart, and always cheerful, would have a hard time with shidduchim:
Shadchand doesn’t come back with an answer
Parents don’t want to hear name
You aren’t sure yourself
Well, according to the title, your parents are apparently unrealistic. I’m not sure what this has to do with the situations you described, besides for them not wanting to hear the name.
What I will say is this: These are normal things that happen to people in shidduchim. It doesn’t matter where you come from and what your family is like. In fact, your family and circumstances have very little to do with the shidduch process. The One Above tells your parents to refuse to hear the name and the shadchan to not get back to you. He also put you in your situation, so He can get you out of if.
Just keep davening, and try not to ask “Why” too much – it may take years to get your answer.
Just mentioning…
There are two frum schools from Milwaukee that are in that contest. The Yeshiva Elementary School is also participating. We should try to get both in the top four, with one at the top. Because at the moment, YES is at the top, we should vote for TAG until it gets in place.
You can vote a bunch of times in a row too 🙂
And for both schools too if you want.
Just hovering – Unless your husband had a nontraditional conversion, he is considered Jewish if his mother is Jewish.
Also, waking up early and setting 45 minutes each day devoted ONLY to davening. No appointments, no chores, no job – just davening.
Begin to learn a tefillah book. If you make an effort to change your davening, Hashem will help you with the rest. (This worked for me).
*EDITED*
(I’ll do it for you)
You can order kosher food from the online Safeway or Giant.
Mod – you can add that to the talent thread.
GO LEFTIES!
(I just wanted to bring this to the top 🙂
I’m Jewish.
How bout you?
Twisted – I’m also accident prone 🙁
Maybe this has something to do with supposed “shorter lifespans”
My family has major arichas yamim on it’s side, so I’m not worried.
Dream as high as you can, so at least you will carry out a fraction of what you intended to do! And that will still be a huge accomplishment.
Pashuteh, you shouldn’t have to install a language pack
I only know how to do it on windows 7, because that’s what im using. Try to use these steps and see if they work.
On windows 7
1) go to control panel
2) press on clock, language, and region
3) press on region and language
4) press on the keyboard and languages tab
5) press change keyboards
6) under installed services, press add
7) select hebrew and under keyboard select hebrew and press ok
* make sure the default input language is english, otherwise everthing will authomatically be hebrew.
* to change b/w languages press left alt+shift
* if you want to type hebrew and you don’t have a hebrew keyboard access the onscreen keyboard (you can click on the letters on the screen or uses the regular keyboard to type hebrew letters.
I think lots of Jews are lefties. I’m going back to my HS class…
These are topics that people, even yeshivish (gasp!) people discuss. They just don’t do it out in the open.
And I don’t think there’s a problem with singles and bochurim. Have you seen anything inappropriate?
smartcookie – I guess for men it makes a bigger difference.
twisted – what health risks? why were they “moderated away”?
Men and women are so different that discrimination shouldn’t even be an issue. Men have certain roles to perform in the world and women have their role to perform. Men have extra mitzvos that women don’t and women have mitzvos that men don’t have.
It’s not inequality if it’s impossible for the two sides to be equal.
You have to add hebrew as a language on your computer and then switch between keyboards.
1) go to control panel
2) go to regional and language options
3) press on the language tab
4) under keyboard press add
5) select hebrew with a hebrew keyboard
you press left alt and left shift to switch between keyboard languages
If you don’t have a hebrew keyboard/stickers, you can use the on screen keyboard as a guide.
I hope this helps 🙂
I’m a lefty (physically), although I do a lot of things with my right hand.
I don’t understand what the big deal is about being a lefty. Some people say lefties are smart and creative. It has something to do with brain dominance.
Feif Un! Please tell your friend to go out…Think of his poor beshert waiting all those years. If not for himself, then for a another person. (If indeed this is not Rav Eliezer ben Herkonys you’re talking abt)
What motivated mother Teresa? Was it her giving nature or her religious beliefs? She was a catholic nun after all…
IMHO it wasn’t a good idea to put your daughter on the woman’s lap. But otherwise, everything you did seemed like the right thing to do.
Was there room/time to fit in an extra chair?
I like how this was put in the “bais medrash” section.
I think that people who aren’t religious are much more likely than OTDs to marry non-Jews. I think high intermarriage rates may be one of the driving forces behind kiruv rechokim.
There’s actually a pair of flippers in my trunk 🙂
And the usual stuff for flats and overheats…
AinOhdMilvado – I like (what you wrote I mean) 🙂
Do muslim revolutions fit in somehow with gog & magog?
Health- I have to disagree with you there. Most nursing homes that I know of are full of CNAs – they do most of the work, while the couple nurses give out meds and sit by the nurse’s station.
Yes, you did the right thing. They were trying to get your attention, and if you responded they would have got what they wanted.
I think it’s a 15-16 yr old boy who has a bunch of teenaged sisters, lives with his grandparents,and has older brothers who are bochurim, and he has a drunk frequent his corner…:)
part of the reason I think he is a boy, is his name!
Which girl only applies to BJJ? You have to have a backup plan with that seminary!
maybe chayav is a 15 yr old boy after all…
I don’t think this was so unheard of in sepharadi countries…it was halachically acceptable, and they were never told anything was wrong with it. They also didn’t know anything about the genetic dangers of inbreeding.
For those who weren’t aware – Chayav is female.
Chazal warned that going to a theater is against “v’bechukoseichem lo’ saylaychu.”
Rav Feinstein z”l said it is considered a chillul Hashem.
Then there is the issue of the content.
Always wears a full faces of makeup, hair is always perfect and blown, barely or never seen in a pony-tail. Usually spends at least 1.5 hours in front of the mirror before she leaves the house. Probably does not wear denim. Always fashionable clothing. Very into how she looks to others.
What were the exact words of rashi?
