    Sorry… entering the party late… did anyone mention that “getting married” isn’t the end goal?

    What about staying married? What’s the point of women marrying young only to divorce a few years later?

    Best advice: It’s time to stand up for yourself, and say “No” to what you will not accept in your life. Hashem put this person in your life as your opportunity to clarify what you want and what you don’t.

    People can give their opinions on which they believe are better… and from there I can see what I can learn from and relate to… kind of like when someone tells you about food.

    Or maybe it’s not like food. Or is it?

    Thank you LU!!! Yea, today was the first time that I saw your post from two days ago. Dunno what happened, but glad that your post is there!

    Thank you for letting me know… and it’s funny that you first heard of it from a secular tv show. Nice that some Torah transmitted through in such an unanticipated way 🙂

    Does steaming work as well as ironing?

    I don’t know how I used to iron as a kid! I used to iron my t-shirts so often. It may have been before I learned the dryer trick where you dampen a shirt and toss it in the dryer.

    But this dryer trick also makes clothing more susceptible to pilling.

    Alas… I wish all fabrics were wrinkle-free-friendly.

    OMG RebYidd23!!!! I forgot about steaming. That’s like the new ironing right? And if it is hot enough, it will kill dust mites!!!

    Okay… are these a billion dollars? Brb…

    Possible male CRers’ natural habitats (at least where I’ve seen frum men in places):

    -Men’s section at shul
    -Mingling in a group with other men, over drinks and snacks, during Shabbos
    -Over there on the couch talking about something after kiddush at someone’s house
    -Costco on Thursdays (my natural habitat as well)
    -Restaurant on date night with wife
    -Restaurant with family
    -On the road walking on Shabbos
    -At the Rabbi’s home during Shabbos
    -In the car driving
    -Torah classe
    -Jewish event, like a big shiur with a visiting Rabbi

    Just like basic places where you find people living life, except a little specialized to account for a frum Jewish man’s life

    Can you think of any other places where you may find male CRers?

    Thanks Joseph 🙂

    You can give birth while working…

    For example, you can give birth while working if you’re the subject of a documentary (or article) and a production company (or journalist) is paying you while giving birth.

    If more women (or womyn) were on reality tv, there’d be more Shalom Bayis (please don’t take this seriously).

    LU: By the way, you’re on the top of my list. I felt uncomfortable posting a list of which CRers I’d want to meet in real life, because I don’t want to exclude anyone.

    When it comes to male posters, I’d want to see them in their natural habitat, but not necessarily meet them. Just out of curiosity to see if they’re like I imagine.

    Aren’t pennies less copper now than previously?

    Actually wait! Why am I taking your very clever suggestion seriously? Because it would, maybe, cost less than a real copper threaded pillowcase?

    Well, regardless, money is pretty dirty. That’s one reason why.

    The next reason is that sleeping on a hard lumpy surface may cause more wrinkles, even if it was made of copper.

    Thank you though 🙂

    More suggestions welcome!

    LU: Thanks, and sorry for not clarifying my question. I’ll try again here…

    Kitov said, “The Talmud says if you ask for too much you get nothing.”

    My question was in reference to the context of this “The Talmud says if you ask for too much you get nothing.” statement in the Talmud, and the origins from Chazal.

    I’ve simply never heard of anything saying that if you ask for too much, you get nothing. Does that mean that we’re not supposed to ask too much from Hashem? I thought that we’re supposed to ask for everything that we need, even if our needs are great.

    Or does this, limiting what we ask for, just apply when asking from people and not from Hashem?

    …Thank you 🙂

    But then they’d no longer be the posters who post but not frequently.

    They’d be posters who post moderately. Posters who post predictably. Posters who post often. Posters who post at least twice a week —and thus no longer obligated to post twice a week. Unless they go back to where they started as not frequently and the circle of posting status and posting begins again.

    I’d def go for a pareve ice cream drumstick.

    Ice cream is the best! It’s the stuff of Olam Habah. Sorry that’s not fair to Olam Habah, and probably quite insulting. Point is, if we had a buffet where we could choose which drumstick, I’d be more than happy to step aside to let people take all the poultry drumsticks. I’d be over on the other side anyway, enjoying a chocolate covered vanilla ice cream cone.

    Mammele:

    1. Yes definitely! Once I came home after about an hour and the champ was still going!

    2. Yes, and that’s where my Roomba usually makes its first turn. I didn’t realize how much dust I had in the bathroom until it started cleaning the floors and bath mat. Now I can see the difference. It goes around the cabinet, to the corner where the toilet is, and then bounces back and forth until it’s done.

    3. I’m not sure about Cheerios or small bread crumbs. By my dog’s food bowl, it picks up dried peas and veggie scraps that fell out. It would depend on the height of the Cheerios or bread crumbs I guess. This is one of those questions I’d Google, and see if there’s a YouTube video showing the Roomba in action.

    You’re doing great research! Lol, if I had bread or Cheerios at home, I’d experiment for you 🙂

    9. Speaking of compartments, Omgosh, love the Roomba here too! In the regular upright vacuum, my hair loops around the spinner brush. I have to take scissors and cut it out and then pull.

    Cleaning up the regular vacuum is a chore.

    Roomba is a dream!

    8. I did use the laser blocker a few times at first too, to block the Roomba from getting too close to my dog’s water bowl. But then I forgot one time and the Roomba just nudged it against the wall without anything spilling – meanwhile, with the upright Shark vacuum, I’ve accidentally slurped up half a cup of water after getting too close (which was followed by a huge project of taking it apart and drying compartments).

    7. It’s not perfect. Sometimes it won’t get a corner. It cannot climb from the floor onto my dog’s 2in foam mats – which a regular vacuum has no problem doing because I just pick it up. Actually, sometimes I do pick up my Roomba and set it on the mats. But that’s a lot easier than doing it myself with my regular vacuum.

    It does get stuck once in a while under some furniture pieces too, but I just created a solution. For example, it used to go under my futon all kamakazi, exhausting itself until it turned off. However, now it is all good. I just put a random board until my futon to block it from access.

    6. I usually let the Roomba to do its work when I leave the house. I love it. When I return, it’s usually recharging at its dock, and sometimes I honestly get excited about seeing how much time it saved me! I go empty it and marvel at the junk and dust that was lurking.

    5. When I first got it, I programmed it to clean every day at a certain time. I stopped doing it that way because my house is not always ready. I have to take fabric and paper stuff off of the floor – like socks, toys, my purse, receipts, and stray Post-its – because it may and can pull on those things or push them around.

    4. Bonuses:

    – Every since using the Roomba a few times a week, I now change my A/C air filter less often. I used to have to change it precisely every month. Now I’ve gone two and even longer without it getting dusty. Those things are $25 each. So the Roomba is paying for itself!

    – The air is cleaner! Vacuuming with my Shark upright vacuum leaves exhaust circulating, even if I cannot see it. The Roomba, on the other hand, sweeps and sucks, and honestly it’s almost magical!

    3. Otherwise, you can get it with the 20% off Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupon – and I think you have up to one year to return it if need be.

    I have a big dog and empty it each the compartment after every cycle. Way better than emptying my Shark vacuum, where emptying the Shark vacuum container generally ends up with dust flying in my face, even though I empty it into one of those small fruit or veggie grocery bags. Omgosh, the Roomba makes clearing out the compartment so easy. And it had a great HEPA filter too.

    2. Fine. I’m an avid Costco shopper, and so I took my mom’s offer when the Roomba 805 went on sale. They have a 90-day return policy.

    From what I’ve read though, the only bonus of the Costco Roomba is that it comes with an extra laser beam whatever thing, that blocks off an area or direction where you don’t want the Roomba to go, like down the staircase, G-d forbid.

    Omgosh Mammele!! I have the Roomba 805 from Costco and LOVE It!!

    Life is Baruch Hashem amazing now – in a HUGE part thanks to my Roomba!!! People told me about it, and even my mom wanted to buy it for me years ago. It finally took being a guest at my friend’s home last Pesach for me to want one too. My friend had a big dog and yet her area rugs and floors were perfect. Usually light colored fur on red rugs makes them look dull, but everything was all shiny. She didn’t even vacuum. The Roomba did it!

    11. Hairs are actually fun and easy to remove in the Roomba. There are two cylinder things, and you just pull them out and the hair is literally spiraled inside the top of the cylinder. In one second, I take out the now-curly clump of hair, and toss it with the rest of the junk that the Roomba picked up.

    My friend told me to try it. If I didn’t like it, then I could return it I am so glad that I tried it because it’s been way over 90-days now and I appreciate it more and more!
