Some of us know her… She’s great!!!!
move to monsey, folks! so far, it looks like our schools will be open but if anyone knows otherwise, let us know please…
Come on! I’m trying to protect someone’s privacy and you’re making fun?!?
Do the same thing!!!! But, maybe take a break and don’t beat yourself up on it…
How does someone with asperger’s handle shidduchim? I know someone who wasn’t diagnosed until he/she (I don’t want to specify for privacy reasons) was an adult because his/her parents were in denial. It was very sad because he/she went through the regular school system knowing that there was something wrong with him/her and not knowing how to handle it because nobody could help him/her if he/she wasn’t diagnose. Plus, he/she knew that everybody thought he/she was crazy and it wasn’t even his/her fault. Now that he/she has finally been diagnosed and is getting some help, he/she wants to know how to go about shidduchim…
BP Totty: don’t make assumptions. this is my third!

Wow! You’re sure we’re not the same person?!? Oh right, I have a baby boy… and mine is almost 5 months. Ok, now that we established that I’m not you………………JK!
For real though, my baby wasn’t going to sleep either tonight. Finally, I rocked him a bit in my arms and when that didn’t work I just put him down in his crib and left the room. He cried for a few minutes but finally went to sleep. I didn’t get anything done tonight though. (This is where my husband’s help might have come in handy…)
Sorry I don’t have any real tips; Different things worked (or didn’t work) for all of my kids. But they do say that 6 months old is a good time to start sleep training…
There IS hope… I never either liked cholent or kugel and was not a big fan of chicken either. I don’t know how it happened exactly, but when I got engaged I began to like kugel and when I got married, I started liking chicken. I still don’t really like cholent, but I do eat the potatoes and meat (which I always did…)
Hi everybody. I’m just here to give some chizuk. I’ve been biting my nails for over 15 years and could never get myself to stop. Actually, I basically stopped biting them when I got braces but I continued to damage my nails by peeling them and the skin around them (thus, the gross tasting nail stuff won’t work for me…). I’ve tried many times to stop with no success. After reading this thread about 2-3 weeks ago, I decided to try again. I think the idea that a habit can be broken in 40 days really gave me the motivation. The fact that the time period is limited keeps me conscious of it all the time. I’m not sure if this makes any sense to you, but it’s working for me. Haven’t peeled my nails since then, so I’m over a quarter way through the 40 days!!! And my nails are looking pretty good.
Just some ideas that helped me: I apply two coats of nail hardener every 2-3 days and moisturize my hands (and feet which are also problomatic) every night before I go to sleep. This helps my skin stay nice and smooth so that it’s not peeling (which would give me the feeling that I need to peel more).
Anyhow, just thought I’d post this to give chizuk to all those of you who are still struggling to stop (and believe me, I know how hard it is – I was able to empathize with all your comments) and to thank those of you who mentioned the idea about the 40 days.
Hey, we’re thinking of doing the same thing!! Also with kids 2 and under… so if you have any ideas, please share. I’ll try to do the same. When are you going?
