She didn’t look presentable or she looked presentable but wasn’t wearing heels? Two completely different things.
Is this only interlocking fingers with both hands. I sometimes “curl” the fingers of one hand around the fingers of the other hand (straight out).
wouldn’t be caught dead driving
Not to belittle your comment in any way, but I would hope there is no one dead behind the wheel.
You want to say thank you and can’t or you mean you don’t feel you should say it at all?
For dinner, you can say “that was really good”, and your mother will understand what you mean.
A. She probably wasn’t paying much attention to the height. She probably just glanced at it to make sure you’re an average height.
B. Maybe she was very tired or had another reason for not wearing heels (something with her foot)
C. I really, really hope you’re kidding.
D. If this is the only issue you can find, you’re obviously dating a very special person.
I’ll add that I’m single and I don’t own a pair of heels. I think they’re bordering on not tznius (but thats just me) aside from being incredibly uncomfortable (not just me).
Mazal Tov, adorable!! May you and your chosson be zoche to everything good!
If it happens often enough, it’ll look natural.
Anything else aside from names of cholim that shouldn’t be mentioned on Shabbos? Is it different to think the bakasha?
completing any or all sfarim of Tehillim ON SHABBOS
Any Tehillim or only for a complete Sefer?
TIA
I didn’t read all the posts, so maybe I missed something really big, or maybe its just me, but something sounds a little (maybe more than a little) off here…
I don’t understand why you’re so into what happened to your friend, its done and over with. Was this a couple you tried to set up?
Areivim Zeh L’Zeh means helping your brother not fall into this spiritual wasteland and proactively doing something to stop it from happening.
I think thats what she was trying to do by starting this thread.

Cinderella, if you have reason to believe that your brother is purposely keeping your parents in the dark about this, and if your brother is an older teen (17+), you should probably not talk to your parents about this behind his back.
On the other hand, if you feel that he would listen to them, then it might just be a good idea. But you might be burning a bridge here, if you’re on good terms with your brother and friend and they feel betrayed when you tell your parents “behind their backs”….
Just something to consider…

For the shiur mentioned above, go to TorahAnytime.com/ click on videos/ Rabbi Wallerstein/ the Magic Touch from 6/12/2008 (almost at the bottom of the page)
Hatzlacha
I think the Chevy Garfinkel shiurim are available on Torahanytime (or possibly a similar site).
I once heard that for a Tefilla to be accepted, one should start a Tefilla by thanking Hashem.
Did we scare away haifagirl? 🙁
kapusta – you made me smile again!!!
Hey, if it gets you to smile that much, maybe I should enlarge it for your wall. (I wonder how many people go by the name of gefen…)
We’re even now. You got a smile too. 🙂
Why do the foil things for the burners (with a cutout in the middle to keep the stove top clean) come in packs of five? Buy four and you get the fifth set free?
Building slightly on what was already mentioned, maybe its possible to get a group of girls and have an enclosed area for it. (In high school, certain sports weren’t allowed, but once a year we had a roller skating/blading trip in a rink that was completely rented out. I’m not sure where you live, but if you’re in Brooklyn, maybe if you contact a place like Ohr Naava they would get involved in something like that. If not maybe you can get a large group and do it on your own.)
Think of it this way; imagine you knew an alcoholic. You don’t enjoy drinking, so you really don’t understand what its about but you accept it as a fact that you cant change, this person enjoys drinking. Wouldn’t you do everything within your power to have them avoid alcohol? Even if it means you’re going out of your way a little, at the end of the day you want them to win the fight.
I’m told that a woman will never understand the yetzer hara that a man has, and even though she can’t understand it, she still wants to help them win the fight. Even if it means giving up on certain things.
No one said anything is easy, just that its very worthwhile.
Hatzlacha
(No offense to the men out there)
The mods are the bosses around here. They like coffee and donuts. And chocolate.
Mods is short for moderators, meaning they’re the ones that allow your post to actually go through.
Welcome!
I have no idea where I heard this but it applies here.
Think of a farmer and a tailor. They are both supporting their families but in totally different ways. The farmer needs to milk the cows, and the tailor needs to sew. If the farmer gets a sewing machine it won’t be worth anything to him because he can’t use it.
Your life was specifically designed for you by the best Designer you could have asked for. He loves you more than anything and whatever you’re feeling now, He feels it even more.
(I also want to mention that the other “tops” could have also come with issues that would have come out later. You only have this part of the story.)
Hatzlacha
Is this what the pba’s will do instead of the next vacation?
I’ve heard from two (pretty reliable) sources that a dream about someone dying means they will have a long life.
There are probably books that have lists with similar names.
I second smartcookie about adding another name.
Mazal Tov!
Kapusta, that is quite a cynical view of the people you are referring to. I wonder what makes you think that way.
When I see someone who had a difficult background who seems to be doing “whatever they want”, I don’t think that. The ones I know are not happy being OTD, they would much rather be like their siblings and friends. You have to wonder how much they are being pushed away if they would rather be ostracized by their community and often completely dysfunctional, than to remain in yeshiva being frum.
Good point.
I wasn’t referring to OTD specifically, I was talking about people (the rest of the world included) who have family issues, health issues etc. sometimes use that to fall back on. They focus on where they came from instead of where they’re going. I’m not blaming anyone, its a natural reaction. Just a shame.
🙁
deiyezooger, I know (of) more two people that broke engagements very close to the wedding.
Thank you all for the mentions. I really appreciate it.
MiddlePath-
Many people use their upbringing as an excuse to do whatever they want. You (amazingly) used your life circumstances as stepping stones instead of letting life just happen. You are really an example of a story gone right.
I’ll also second what Queen Bee mentioned above about writing a memoir.
Esah ainai el he’harim maiayin yavo ezri…
Kapusta, you’d get a lot further if you’d post each letter in a different post instead of a new line.
Good idea, wanna start? 🙂
beacon?! That you? Hows Sweet Choice doing? (right person?)
Welcome back.
Btw, does 4 months constitute a new poster
Thats where the “ish” part comes in.
Glad to hear you’re normal.
My father once (very wisely) explained to me that its ok to be happy. Even when the situation is hard or emotionally draining. Its ok to feel pain, we were created with emotions for a reason, but put it in the back of your head and just relax. Its ok to put a smile on your face and forget for a little bit.
One day when you aren’t busy with work/school, treat yourself. Maybe it means going shopping, maybe it means just being out in the fresh air and watching life happen around you, maybe it means sitting in bed with a good book and a cold drink, whatever does it for you.
Hatzlacha with everything.
Mikimi maiafar dal…?
Power just went back on! B”H. It was kind of tough to live in the 19th Century. Now let’s see if they cleared the roads yet.
B”H. I’m happy to see you have your priorities straight. ?
IME, so much of “feeling” davening comes from talking to Hashem in my own words. Ask Him to help you daven.
Hatzlacha!
(There are several threads with davening tips.)
I am now smiling cuz of kapusta – really!
Glad to hear it. 🙂
see how popular i am? i stopped this thread. nobody else wrote after me. 🙁
JFTR, on my profile, many threads have my comments and then say “no replies”. Its not you. (Unless maybe its both of us…)
(Looks like the CR was kinda busy today)
Your positivity is positively refreshing. And hopefully infectious.
Are you positive about that?
Thank you.
there is a warm bed available.
Even in January?!
Welcome back, aries.
Eighth grade is probably one of the easiest years of school. Its mostly working on yearbook/graduation and is not so much actual “school”. There is also a certain element of fun just because its an “in-between” stage where you get some benefits of the younger grades and some benefits of high school. Have fun and enjoy spending time with your friends.
Welcome back, btw.
What do you mean “watch it..?”
What are you concerned about?

MG, I guess those chocolate covered peanuts (?) you mentioned not too long ago wouldn’t count as aid… On a more serious note, that was very sweet of you.
May he have a Refuah Shelaima.
Really dumb ones,(who don’t get it) and really haughty ones (who
can’t accept it), for that would make them responsible for their actions having to answer to a higher authority, so they vehemently deny the existence of the obvious. Denial 101.
IMHO there isn’t anyone who doesn’t get it, just those that don’t want to get it.
Adding to my list:
bein_hasdorim- funny posts.
brotherofurs- posts have a sincerity about Yiddishkeit (and doing Mitzvos). Very nice trait, not seen enough.
