They grow in my home state. If you have seen one, there is no bark only fleshy growth from the roots. The plant itself can live from year to year but only produces fruit consistently on new growth. On banana plantations they cut it down each year so that they can reliably harvest a crop every year. The other fun haodama plant is pineapples. Look up a picture of the plants, they are very cute.
Work on your emunah! Are you afraid to go to school because the economy is bleak? What about fly in airplanes due to safety concerns? Do you have any faith in your future prospects? Those of the Jewish people?
What is the alternative? stay single? or never date,or risk failure, disappointment? Only you can decided what chances you are willing to take with your future. Get guidance with whatever decision you make. Getting married young was my salvation, not so much for some of my friends.
Rav Elyashiv was an only child, with many descendents. Ask you Rav if this is pertinent for your son to know. Just because her mother and Aunt have issues does not mean she will have any. There are many “female” issues that are a common theme in my family. All have had children without issues, even when the doctor predicted that there would be no more.
the “no cry sleep solution” was a great book for me. I used it for all of my children. I will add that none of them, also breastfed, have slept through the night at 7 months. They would only wake up once at that point, which I found manageable. Most children do not sleep through the night at 7 months, especially when breastfed.
I have been married more than 10 years. My husband has never once deigned to notice another woman’s footwear. He barely notices mine! I think you have a problem with shmiras einayim. Stop worrying about what the women are wearing and focus on yourself.
My Mom liked her synthetic wig since the care was so easy. It is dark brown with some light grey streaks. She needed a stocking cap to wear underneath since when all the hair falls out sheitels can be very uncomfortable against the skin. Some will depend on her budget and what kind of care she is interested in putting into her sheitel. Synthetic sheitels, very nice, run about $350 max. Real hair sheitels can be much more and have to be washed more often to maintain style. Synthetic wigs can be washed at home and air dried with no professional styling.Refuah Shleimah! My Mom is in remission from stage 3B breast cancer for over 3 years now. She did use a lot of herbs to help her along with the chemo and radiation.
If you have read the book “Who By Fire” you could find out how flammable the buildings are. In fact a whole family passed last year when a laptop caught fire. Be educated in your answers. Rebbeim may not be the best source for fire safety.

Table 1.1: Pomegranate Statistics (download the data file for a complete listing of each pomegranate)
I use Shaklee brand powder whitener which I add a generous scoop to every white load. Stains that don’t completely come out I put in a bucket or laundry sink to soak in the the same powder for 3 days until it comes out. No chemicals means no burning hands for me, and no time to waste spraying my boys and DH shirts. WHo has time for that anyways?
Are parents no longer allowed free choice? Are we no longer within our legal rights to make personal decisions for our own children? Or maybe we should be mindless zombies all doing exactly the same things in all areas of life. Are there never children who should be exempted from the rules for personal/medical reasons the parents may not want to share? Has anyone considered the advent of clean water and lack of open sewage as a way that there was increased disease control. In any case, most people will never consider the alternative honestly. Most will continue to do what they want anyways.

homebirths should hopefully be attended by a qualified midwife or doctor. No one in their right mind would attempt a planned breech delivery at home. If hospital births were so safe then the statistics should be there to back it up, which they are not. The countries with the best outcomes for newborns have predominantly home-birth based operations. Yes a lot of women need to give birth in hospitals for safety reasons. Don’t forget most really wealthy women, even i n this country, still hire a private doctor to give birth at home. Yes the doctors have oxygen and know how to revive infants, you don’t need a hospital for that. The ignorance is pervasive, it is so unbelievable. People need to take responsibility for their own health and not blame their doctor/or Hashem for that matter for their carelessness and ignorance. Of course that may mean that people have to change their diets as well and stop saying it is meant to be that I got diabetes, heart disease, cancer when most are preventable.
I have had several homebirths and they don’t have to be messy. Sometimes medications are needed which doctors and a lot of midwives carry with them. You don’t need an IV, shots work just as well. What people don’t understand is a lot of issues don’t “happen” when a women is in her home station. We are so programmed by the system and media that there is no other safe alternative, so women are afraid of birthing at home. I am afraid of hospitals. It is so much more in line with Torah values to give birth at home, in a modest fashion without all the world to see. I have had complications at home, B’H all my children lived. My mother-in-law wasn’t so lucky when they killed her baby in a hospital, and apologized saying mistakes happen. My aunt has permanent brain damage induced by her physician, in a hospital – avoidable if the physician was trained properly. Life and death are in Hashem’s hands but women should do their due diligence, don’t just do what everyone else is doing.
