    Is it chiyuv to go on both days and hear the Megillah reading more than once?

    Is this against halacha? Lying per se?

    When in public and it’s not socially acceptable, I try to sneeze politely. Otherwise I’m a some loud noise that I cannot describe.

    Thanks for the empathy 🙂

    What happens if they didn’t get married right away? Did their family keep feeding them until it happened?

    What if they had several daughters of marriageable age? Instead of saving for simchas or seminary, did they invest their resources into plumping up their daughters?

    What about Shabbat? You don’t gain weight on Shabbat. How did they manage?

    We all have it. I want peas for dinner and ice cream. I only chose one because I really don’t want the other but I actually do but I don’t but I do.

    Syag Lchochma: I will be your bagel friend. You can eat the inside and I will eat the outside and all parts of the bagel will be respected.

    RebYidd23: Hypotheses about your T…

    1. Treat… “T = Treat people how they want to be treated (the platinum rule), not how you want to be treated (the golden rule).” (According to someone named dan who has a website devoted to “great leadership”)

    2. Taking… The T in TCB (Taking Care of Business) by Aretha Franklin

    …Hopefully your husband or husband-to-be knows or will know better about bagels.

    To love RebYidd23 is to honor the solidarity of the bagel with its klippah. There is no klippah actually. It’s all holy. One piece. One peace.

    “Every member of society has a part in deciding what’s ethical.” (RebYidd23)

    Except in Torah right? In an observant Jewish community, if someone takes ethics into his own mind/heart and that goes against what everyone else is thinking/doing, then he/she could risk being expelled from that society. Oui?

    Why then is anyone here agreeing with this?

    What’s wrong with political parties ?

    I thought as Jews we’re all into simchas.

    </endjoke>

    Political parties.

    Party is a grouping of individuals. Congregation of people. Party of Four for dinner. Boston Tea Party.

    When did Americans start using party to refer to a happy get-together occasion?

    Sometimes the other side’s grass has fertilizer. Literally speaking.

    I had neighbors growing up with the best grass. I think they planted a different type and were meticulous about landscaping.

    When one gets to know other people and their challenges, its easier to see that we’re all people.

    Also there are many things about greener grass.

    Have you ever received a compliment about something and thought to yourself, if only this person knew the flipside?

    Or if only this person knew how much work it takes to make this look effortless or natural?

    They see green grass and you know it was with the help of fertilizer and obviously a blessing from Hashem.

    Why didn’t my college career counselor not tell me about this?

    I’d love to be a professional bagel scooper. The chewy outside of the bagel is amazingly delicious. Plus, the soft inside can be recycled for edible dice.

    It’s helped for me:

    1. I’ve realized that past dates were there to help me work on my middos and get a better grasp on what I need in a partner (rather than what I want) and who I want to become (rather than who I think that I “should” be and become).

    2. I’ve learned that others in the parsha have both unique struggles and ones that I can directly relate to thus far. It is encouraging to know that we can all overcome barriers with perseverance, histadlus, emuna, and bitachon.

    3. I really love hearing from married posters who talk about how they struggled and now are happily married. Also, I love hearing from posters who shared about their children’s struggles in the parsha and in time too found their besherts. Personally, I find such personal accounts as a light to show me that this too shall pass and one day B”H I too will have a story to share about the parsha.

    4. I also decided not to start smoking.

    Redleg: Thanks for your sensitivity.

    Most certainly I do not think that the guy meant to compliment me in any way.

    All I was was tznius. I wasn’t trying to look like a Rebbetzin. To a frum Jew I would have looked like a frum Jew.

    Actually to frum Jews, one can probably tell I am unmarried at the time since I don’t wear any rings and my hair is on the longer-side and sometimes braided

    No headcovering. I also don’t have the bangs or volume that I see in many sheitels that women wear in my area.

    How else could one look like a Rebbetzin?

    I thought he was talking about serving kids wine at Purim. My bad.

    SL: Assuming you meant me and not twisted.

    Do as you please. You want wine. Do your thing. Grape juice works too. All depends on what you want.

    It’s not like my parents didn’t give me wine. I also thank G-d didn’t turn out to be some incoherent who knows what.

    Maybe some people do it because wine doesn’t taste good when you’re a kid, at least imho and depends on the wine. Made it less appealing when I got older.

    What’s wrong with scooping a bagel? I did that when I was a kid to make cubes with the squishy bread. The cubes tasted better then unsquished bagel.

    Part of the reason may be that as a woman and divorcee she is left out and her husband is included and invited to more simchas and such.

    At least that’s what I have heard from other divorced women, including those with abusive ex husbands.
