I haven’t posted on here in years but I feel like I need to speak up. One of my children was born with a kidney issue. She has one kidney that doesn’t work well. For this, we give her a preventative antibiotic, a prophylactic to prevent her getting infections. Before we started this, she was getting infections way too often and that could be dangerous for her. So now, we give antibiotics to an otherwise overall healthy child in order to prevent infection. It is the same with vaccines. It is a preventative medication you are giving your child to prevent diseases and infections which can otherwise be dangerous.
“bmyer, but I want to play. So what should I do?”
Theres a quote that goes like this. “The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same”…..there are lots of things that I want to do. But I don’t because it’s wrong. There is no tznius way for guys and girls to play basketball together. I believe you know that, otherwise the question wouldn’t have been asked. Also, speaking from experience, it’s not that hard to put together a girls team if you’re really interested in doing that.
I knew my husband was going to be proposing that night, so when he gave me a huge bouquet and a really nice letter he wrote for me as part of his proposal, I wasn’t shocked….he stood there waiting for an answer and I told him that I wasn’t going to answer him until he asked THE question that every single girl dreams of hearing at some point….he immediately got down on one knee…..
thanks everyone for ur mazel tovs!
livelovelaugh and yossi z, well said!
i think a lot of the problem is that people lump together the regular girls that went to regular schools and are looking for the regular learning guys. make sure the shadchanim know what special qualities set her APART from the rest of the lists of girls that they have.
gap, old navy, tommy, hollister, etc.
“hey mordechai, why are you better then us, HHUUHH? the king said everyone has to bow down to haman, even YOU! why do you think that your so special that you dont have to bow down, HUH, YEAH HHUUUUUUUHHH???????”
“i’ve already explained to you sirsqueechie….”
lol!
round 3, 110-115 inclusive is done.
30-35 inclusive
IMO you dont one day just decide to “be” a shadchan. you can set people up that you think would make a good match and get them to go out. eventually once you make a few shidduchim, your name will get out that you have experiance with people and you will have a title as “the shadchan.” as for not wasting your time, making shidduchim is extremely time consuming and more often then not yields disappointing results. (im speaking from experiance…) remember, chazal say that making a shidduch is as hard as the splitting of the sea. but for the one time that you succeed, its 100% worth it!! there is nothing like the nachas of watching two people that you thought of start building their home. HATZLACHA!
poiuytrewq1234-
with all due respect, you are steriotyping. lakewood is huge, with many different types of people, and a big variaty of neighborhoods. most of my WORKING family lives there and are very happy there. can you believe it?
the new england village area might be the type ur looking for.
hatzlacha in ur new job! 🙂
i’ve made one friends shidduch, two people that i set up are in middle of going out, and i’ve red tons. and im 20. and single. the above post is one thousand percent true. it’s no wonder that shidduchim are compared to splitting the sea. that said, i now have a lot more understanding towards the shadchanim and i’ts really great to see all the efforts they invest in their work. however, theres something i’d like to ask. i want to know why when i’ve gone to all the big shadchanim they all say “we will be in touch with you” and months and months go by and i never hear another word from them. granted, my parents are not rolling in the dough, and i may not be THE skinniest girl out there. but from the hundreds of boys you meet, you cant think of ONE? ONE boy that might be good for me? i know how hard it is. but i’ve been to countless shadchanim and i have yet to recieve a call from anyone.
perhaps ur vitamen d or iron deficiant cuz you said it happens when you go out in the sun….maybe check it out.
