writersoul- well said
I do think that it’s important for a teen to be doing what most of their friends are doing if possible. When I first went to camp, my mother paid for the first month, the second month I paid for by working in the camp. Working within the camp gave me a chance to be with my friends without it being an expense for my mother. On teenagers earning money, i think that it’s a great thing. It teaches them the value of money. A parent does not have to allow the teen to bring things into the house, or let them do what they want. Earning their own money though will allow the teen to make the poor choices needed to learn what the right ones are. It’s better for them to learn that as a teenager then at a time when they really need the money.
How old am I?
I wouldn’t recommend that you get earrings, simply because I’d assume she’ll already be wearing earrings. If she doesn’t change to the ones you give her it’s insulting to you, and if she does it’s insulting to whoever gave her those… Even a tomboy might like a fancy handbag or another accessory. The iPod idea can be presented well too. Depends on your Kallah.
streekgeek- No clue how many he had, or how many other trolls were just called Joseph… There’s a thread pinned to the top of the page of the written rules, we obviously can’t make a thread of the unwritten ones though as that would turn them into written rules :).
Usually. It’s hard to find skirts with pockets, so I wear the few that do.
streekgeek- go through old threads and you’ll see posts by users who are now blocked.
Syag Lchochma and DaasYochid- she writes for Mishpacha Junior currently, so you’d probably be able to contact her through them and find out exactly what the true story was.
No, it isn’t. There is software for Mac though that allows you to run PC software.
Lost1970- Look into it, it’s not so simple. Due to the way many meat plants are run, the meat is technically ever min hachai, since it is separated before the animal is completely dead.
walton157- something can fit into all of these categories and still be lashon harah. Still nice though…
apushatayid- be happy it’s not stilettos on your toes. I’ve come home from weddings with toes bleeding from other people misstepping by dancing.
Shopping613- sandwich bangs can have a non-kosher coating, so it would make sense to have a hechsher that this particular one does not have it.
LAB- I totally agree with you. We really should not be pronouncing knight as nite, that is making up a new word. Rather we should say it more like the yiddish word knecht, since that would include all letters. Seriously though, it’s just an accent. Get used to it.
ikno- if the parent remarries and stays married, even if the child is from the first home the child is not from a broken home. Sarah Schneirer remarried, so if she would have had children, they would have had a father figure in the home. I don’t think that people should look away from a shidduch just because of the family, but family does make a difference.
apushateyid- I wouldn’t say to start for free, because that’ll give people the impression that you are a poor writer. Rather give the first 50 free in order to get some reviews.
Sleep, beautiful sleep, what wouldn’t I give for? That precious bit more…
zahavasdad- were you there? Maybe they did.
kodesh- generally the guy will see a picture of the girl before the date is set up. He doesn’t have to bother setting up a date with a girl that doesn’t look pretty to him.
You can buy eyeglasses for really cheap online. Search retailmenot for coupons for coastal.
straightalk- wow. You totally got me convinced.
Yserbius123- You’d be surprised at how easy some wi-fi passwords are to crack. Uninstalling drivers may work, but they can also be reinstalled. The most permanent is taking it in to remove the wi-fi radio. This works, but it does void the warrantee .
@Jwashing: You are right about mixed messages. If you ever read magazines geared towards women (i.e., Good Housekeeping)there will be a whole article about dieting and on the next page a recipe for double, double chocholate chip cake.
Like you said. Plus, mixed audience- some are pulled by the diet articles, others by the rich recipes.
Discipline is an important part of education. If a father doesn’t understand that, than they deserve what their kid turns out like. Unfairness is certainly not proper, and a rebbe should know that apologizing doesn’t make him into less of a rebbe but more of one.
ralphedharvey- Where does it say that Moshe Rabeinu knew everything?
it’s funny… I was thinking of “it has its perks”
ultimaterock- if you would have been brought up religious, and are asking whether to become friends with people who are not religious I would not advise it. Since this is not the case, why drop friends that did nothing wrong to you? You’re the one who changed. If they want to drop you, that’s their choice. You didn’t join some crazy cult that makes you leave everything behind. You just have obligations, and if your friends are respectful of that than you can go right on being friends. You may find that you have less in common, and it is likely that you’ll end up drifting apart because of that, but I don’t see the need to deliberately end it. Your friends are not reshaim if they were never raised with religion, and therefore if you can go right on doing mitzvos it’s not a problem.
Outsider- seriously? Much harder not to drive a car on Shabbos? Sure. It’s WAY harder to consciously not pick up the car keys and go to the car and drive it than to make sure your skirt is below your knees at all times. For sure. Come on, you are obviously not a woman. It happens all the time that you put on a skirt in the morning, look in the mirror and your knees are covered. As you’re walking, the movement causes the skirt to slide up and suddenly your knees aren’t covered anymore. And yes, sometimes the woman may even be aware of it, and not stop to pull it down because the yetzer hora keeps telling her that she’s already late, and if she keeps stopping to pull down her skirt she’ll be even later. It’s not like putting on a kippah, and or tzitzis where you can put it on in the morning and it should be fine for the rest of the day. Although you think it’s hard on you not driving, if you live out in a place where it’s hard to get anywhere by walking, I’d assume you have no eiruv. So I’d say it’s way harder for the women not to carry than for you not to drive. A woman with a child who cannot walk yet who lives near you cannot leave her gate for all of Shabbos… Sorry for going on so long, you just got me a bit riled up.
Whenever I purchased anything my husband felt was untznius, he would say to me. Oh Honey, that is stunning, but I hope you will wear it ONLY for me. I got the message loud and clear.
Love this! Expresses what I was thinking too… it’s all about tact. Telling your wife off about tznius is a lack of respect for her. Respectfully telling her that this is not for out of the house is definitely appropriate in a relationship with proper communication.
I did learn how to kasher chickens in school, and when I was in camp we went on a trip to a shechita house to learn from watching the process. It’s not true that girls can’t handle it- everyone enjoyed the trip very much, and ate the chicken that night no problem.
nfgo3- I find the term African-American to be offensive. It seems to insinuate that they aren’t fully American. Why am I called a white American and they African-American? Are they less American than I am?
simcha613- they do have the right to decide to take over guardianship, but this is done only in extreme cases. In a recent case, an Amish girls parents wanted to discontinue chemotherapy. The hospital sued for guardianship, and the judge ruled that the parents are good, caring parents and there isn’t sufficient reason to remove the child from their care. This was in a case where the child will probably die without the chemotherapy and has an 85% chance of surviving with it, yet the court still sided with the parents.
simcha613- actually, cases where religious beliefs prevent a parent from allowing medical treatment the court decides on an individual basis whether or not the state/hospital/nurse can take temporary guardianship of the child until the treatment is complete. This is only done on an individual basis, never as a group.
onit- as I wrote in the post just before yours, it’s not necessary to forgive the other person in order to have that peace of mind. As long as you believe that Hashem will take care of the punishment, you can banish all thought of that person and what he did for you knowing that Hashem will handle it. It’s actually usually easier to let go and move on without forgiving. In each situation it’s important to speak to someone you respect whether or not you should forgive the person who hurt you. Forgiveness is a beautiful thing, but Hashem doesn’t force you to forgive by hounding you with bad thoughts until you do.
SanityIsOverrated- what you’re talking about isn’t forgiveness either. It’s moving on. You can move on without forgiving as well by telling yourself that Hashem will see to punishing those who hurt you, and you no longer have to worry about it. It’s off your shoulders and onto Hashems.
Shopping613- I wasn’t talking about why we forgive. I was talking about what the word forgiveness means.
wiy- i disagree with that. true forgiveness may be understanding that the person that hurt you has a mental disorder and although it is not her fault she hurt you, she didnt know what she was doing, that doesnt mean you need to be friends with her
I disagree with this. I don’t think saying something wasn’t someone’s fault is forgiving- that’s excusing. I think forgiving means recognizing that although it my have been their fault you don’t want them to get punished anymore for it.
yitayningwut- +1
Right-click on the file, properties, default program change to Microsoft Excel
better example- if you wrap your hair in saran wrap it’s not considered a proper covering.
higuys- I don’t see how that should make a difference. You paid for a service- they didn’t provide it. If they would be willing to provide the service but you no longer wanted it, they would not be required to return the money. If you’re talking about the application fee, there you’re paying for their service of looking over your application which they did. Since they did review your application, they’re not required to return it.
That actually really sounds like fun… maybe we should do this some Sunday. Since it’s a doll store popa will probably want to stay far far away…
the-art-of-moi: When I was in camp I actually paged myself to the office several times on the mike. Hardly anyone noticed: they were so used to listening out for their own names only.

ubiquitin- I think what moi means is that what makes cancer worse than ALS or degenerative MS? We don’t hesitate to call these by name. There are many illnesses that are very serious that we name outright.
Mazel Tov!!
mazaltov- Some people think they’re G-d, or are just plain rude. No one but Hashem knows exactly why you had to get sick. Of course everyone should do their utmost hishtadlut to stay healthy, and thank you for your specific tips.
Request that Keyhero support hebrew. If they get enough requests they’ll do it.

Being Mochel doesn’t mean you no longer feel pain. It’s okay to be hurt and it’s even okay to sometimes be upset at the person. Being Mochel someone is acknowledging that they wronged you and saying “Even so, I am willing to pretend like it didn’t happen so that this person does not have a strike against him/her in Hashem’s chart.” There are higher levels and everyone is different obviously, but the minimum form of Mechila is you telling Hashem that even though this person wronged you, you no longer feel that they deserve to be punished on your behalf.

Repeating this because it’s so right. Forgiving someone just means you don’t want the other person to have bad happen to him/her because of what they did to you.
LevAryeh- That’s if they agree to your premise. And that’s a ridiculous premise. Did you ever hear of “My Cousin Vinny”? Yes, that’s complete fiction, but it could happen. Someone could accidentally take a can of tuna and be accused of murder.
