Which communities would you consider?

I would much rather be named shira than eezevel.

It was AMAZING! Such Yad Hashem!

People are happy when they feel they are moving foward or others around them are making progress.

Supposively, depression is caused by spiritual stagnation or decline.

And no responses about chemical imbalances. This is the intelectual thread…

There’s a huge outlet mall near lancaster. But that’s not a fun inexpensive thing to do ;-).

It’s called tanger outlets. They have ann taylor factory, banana factory, calvin klein, coach factory, gap outlet, j.crew factory, RL factory, TH factory, and other good stores.

If you go on the tanger outlet website, you can get printable coupons for their stores.

I think it’s great that you are thinking of working in the medical field. I’m in nursing school, and I aspire to be a nurse practioner or nurse midwife.

I did consider med school or pa school, but I decided that it is too much schooling. Plus there is a residency. And I like the patient centered approach of nursing.

A nurse practitioner is an advanced practice nurse – on the masters level. You have to go to nursing school for 2 years to get a bachelors and then go to graduate school for another 2 years to get a masters. The advantage is you can work while you are still in school and it takes far less time then it does to become a physician. In many states, nurse practitioners can work in private practice, and must be affiliated with a doctor.

Hatzlacha

It’s very likely that the earlier meforshim had some kind of ruach hakodesh. (This is definitely true of Rashi)The more modern meforshim and mussar sefarim based their hashkafah on the earlier meforshim.

Either way, shiv’im panim l’torah. Torah doesn’t only exist for people to follow. It’s there to be discussed and questioned.

Even if there isn’t any “concrete proof”, there is proof enough that they are ethics we should follow because these people represented Torah and lived through torah in all aspects of their lives. Therefore, we can assume their ethics are the torah’s ethics as well.

Very true. And if you just need to sneeze and can’t make it stop, try rubbing your tongue on the roof of your mouth.

I heard about these recent boycotts – and they’re not just in Canada – it’s flooding through Europe as well.

designer clothing is better quality, but the price is majorly marked up, so the value goes down.

Lets say

A calvin klein suit that costs $400 has a quality of 6 out of 10. The value is $66 for every point (400/6)

But the Baroni suit for $3000 which a quality of 10 out of 10, really has a value of $300 per point (3000/10).

So although the Baroni is better quality, the Calvin Klein has a much better value. It’s not worth it to pay so much more for slightly better quality.

Mazel Tov!

Mod-80- I know who they are and in their case it may not be so. There will be many people who will be happy to know the news who won’t hear it directly from them.

Here’s a similar question:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/seminary-interview-questions-please-help-bnos-chava-girls-and-machon-raaya-girl

Basically, I met her and it was fine. She didn’t even ask for it. I guess I made myself clear on the phone.

*I’m not unphotogenic, I’m just against a girl’s looks being the first impressions of a girl many boys have, even before they look into her!*

The shidduch crisis is a product of galus. When Mashiach comes, the shidduch crisis won’t be over because equal amount of boys and girls will be born, or because boys will marry girls their age, it will be over because men might choose to have more than one wife. Personlly, I would not want my husband to have another wife, but just a thought.

In some cases yichus does make a difference.

However, there are frei people who are descended from great people.

I think that’s a great setup. I was actually just thinking about it yesterday. I guess there has to be a mutual understanding in place as well.

moving mountains – you totally cracked me up 😀

I would be myself.

Well, Moshe Rabeinu lived til 120, so that’s where we get the phrase, ad meah v’esrim. Scientists, with their purely scientific minds, say 120 years is the maximum lifespan of a person. It’s a bracha when you tell a person to live til 120. You’re basically telling them, you should have the max time possible to fulfil what you have to fulfill in this world.

I’m starting nursing school next month. I chose nursing school because it takes only 2 years, you have pretty decent pay, and you work about 3 days a week per 12 hour shift. If you work in a doctors office, then you’re only there when the doctor’s there – maybe 9/10 – 4/5. Also, you can do chesed on the job. If you want 2 go back 2 school, like for nurse practioner, your hours are even more flexible and you have better pay. Also, nursing is really good exercise ;)There’s a reason nurses wear sneakers on the job.

thefinalhorcrux – many hospitals prefer nurses with a bachelors.

This isn’t only in NYC

What bothers me a lot is when PEOPLE PUT ON THEIR BLINKERS AFTER THEY BREAK SUDDENLY TO TURN. You’re going your regular 10 miles above the speed limit, close to the slow car in front of you. All of a sudden, 10 feet before a side street, some one short stops, puts on their blinkers and turns. Is your mind backwards??? I don’t need a warning before you’re turning if you’re going to short stop before you put on the blinkers. I got the message loud and clear when I slammed on my breaks.

Another important aspect is to not compare yourself to other people. 1) you don’t see the whole picture 2)what they have isn’t good for you 3) what you have is ideal for you. When a person comes to the realization that everything they have been given is perfect for them and everything they have or don’t have was decided by Hashem – who knows what is best for us, then a person can have self esteem.

Gaiva is the opposite of a low self esteem. This is when a person attributes their talents and abilities to themselves.

Having a low self esteem means you don’t recognize your uniqueness and value. You don’t even realize that you have those special talents and abilities.

Having a good self esteem is right in the middle. You value yourself because you realize that you have special talents and abilities, but you attribute them to Hashem, you recognize that Hashem gave them to you. We must all strive toward this.

Seven Mile Market may have with their new health foods section

You can always try Whole Foods on Smith Avenue or Fresh Market on Quarry Lake Drive. Both stores have a nice selection of kosher food.
