The purple monkey wrench
Btw: That makes a lot more sense. I was wondering if maybe you’d get a heter for only accepting peanut butter cups. Lol
Understandable. Esp when your entire social group consists of those high school kids. Do you have friends from other activities or shul?
When I was in high school, people told me that the kids that bothered me in high school wouldn’t matter when I got older. It was so true! Some of them, I later learned, thought that I was pretty okay. They just were too insecure to say anything.
Yay computer class! That’s awesome. One thing is still a good thing 🙂
Focus on that, if you can. I know it’s hard to deal with other girls. Sending you love.
Maybe the lines weren’t necessary because the Rebbe reads between the lines anyway.
Freudian slip: “tirades” not “tyrants”
For anyone who even only remotely understands what it is like to live under the hand of a father who makes a fit when things do not go his way, puts on a great show for the public, and goes off on tyrants, saying that Ivanka and her family could have been dealing with a pikuach nefesh situation is an understatement.
Joseph: Ivanka did not voluntarily appoint Trump as her father either.
“I still think that Trump secretly threatened to make a deal with the Arabs and kill all the Jews if Esther, I mean Ivanka, didn’t come to the inauguration. So it was a horaas sha’ah for her to go. “
My thoughts exactly!
He really makes a scene when he doesn’t get his way. I can only begin to imagine the type of pressure she and Jared are under.
Plus Melania will be spending the rest of the school year in NY with their son.
Trump may be extra demanding in a separation anxiety magnified meltdown.
You said that you still have a year and a half. That’s enough time to make a change. You’re not in school to please your teachers. You’re in school for your own benefit. Ultimately this is for you.
Just because it’s not great doesn’t mean that it has to be a catastrophe.
Surely there is something that you do like about school?
Also, those girls don’t matter. You are great and one day b”H these experiences will be far gone. In order to get to this place, first please… tell me, what’s good about school?
What are three things that you like about school? Even getting out of the house for a few hours could be something, etc:
1) ?
2) ?
3) ?
What happens when you’re at at store and they play Xmas carols? Can you still shop?
Didn’t we have a thread on this? Or is Xmas music different than Xmas carols, which are traditionally sung in the church (at least that’s what they show on tv).
Not necessarily. If a woman converts to Judaism; promising to keep the 613 mitzvot and does so sufficiently as a frum Jew, and has children; then her children are Jewish.
If she happens to go OTD the following year, are her children no longer Jewish? Does someone come in and strip away their neshamot?
Joseph: I know that you didn’t ask me… but for the sake of another voice…
Some of my dresses. Actually. Most of my dresses are second-hand. Who knows how long they’ve been around.
A couple of items in my closet that I still wear I’ve had for a decade.
My dresses are newer because of the whole tznius conversion. Though, maybe I will report back in four to six years and tell you if I still wear them, bli neder.
At this point, does it matter if Ivanka is halachically Jewish?
If Jared is observing the mitzvot that he strives towards and Ivanka is helping him, which is something that only he and Hashem can know, and her children are considered halachically Jewish, then is the controversy so important that one must potentially speak LH here?
May Olam Habah be filled with peanut butter cups!
Because only Hashem rules
I think LU has three modes:
1) Awake, when she can post at any time, and call the LH hotline
2) Halachic, which is her “off” feature, that provides us with masterful halacha and further information
3) Shabbos, self-explanatory
The driver is still on the run! Sending prayers for his speedy and full recovery, refuah <3
dooksta123: I know someone who used to also say it 100 times a day, at least. Hashem got him out of a very traumatic situation, listening to his prayers.
He was so grateful that he set an alarm every five minutes to thank Hashem. He did this for years. Then tapered to seven minutes. Then 30 minutes.
It was compulsive, in a sense; however, it made him feel closer to Hashem.
If it’s not disruptive to your personal or professional life, or relationships, then maybe it is healthy for you and bringing goodness in your life.
I thought that we both say that Hashem is blessed as well Bless Hashem, and bestow blessings upon Hashem through our mitzvot and love.
What makes violence a permissible solution?
Infectious diseases can overturn you, in the grave.
Weren’t heart transplants assured something like 50yo, and now they’re permitted.
The King’s Horses were with it, obviously.
Oh. Two types of foods and not water. Good to know.
MDG: Agreed.
I wonder if you can get a heter to pass on receiving MM.
jhonny appleseed: It’s so true! Listen to LU. You have no other option. You will graduate. I hated it too, especially my last two years. I was depressed and cried a lot. A lot!
My mom really saved me by writing me notes for excused tardies. I think I came to school late more days than not in my last year, at least. I would take so long to get ready for school, literally waiting for my anxiety to settle.
I couldn’t drop out. I knew that. Most of my effort was spent getting to class on time, staying in school, and making the best out of the classes that I did like, such as Art and English.
Focus on what you like about school. We’re here for you too. You’re going to do it. Grab onto a class, or teacher, and do whatever you need to do to feel good and think about it in terms of projects, rather than time. At least, that helped me. I thought about what art projects I had left, or essays to write. I would have gone crazy if I was one of the students who counted down the days.
You will graduate. I promise. You can do this. You’re so close. Keep going. Promise you will feel so great when you’re done 🙂
There they’re their little one.
His post is like a green banana right now. Soon it will ripen.
You have amazing self-restraint and conviction.
It’s really all about ice cream
Awww! That means that you guys can go digging and find the remains of the lunch that transformed into the cells of a flower nesting on a diamond bed.
Here’s a hygiene theme:
Dental floss, travel size shampoo, sugarless mints or gum
You can def save money. Also get the pieces in bulk at Costco.
Here’s a healthy theme: Lara bar, bottle of water, toothbrush.
Just made that one up B”H 🙂
I haven’t been on CR long enough to speculate if the Mods are new.
Why isn’t it possible that something came up and Mods are juggling more right now?
Or maybe one Mod left the position, went out of town, has a persistent cold, has a night job, had a baby, etc.
Does anyone here pay for their CR account? I don’t. I do get antsy when I want to read my post and read new posts and there is a wait. However, Mods are humans too.
Someone a while ago said that the Mods sometimes have to research our posts to determine whether or not the content is appropriate.
Maybe the YW Editor made new regulations for Mods to follow when screening posts? Maybe the system is slower and the Mods are the same. Maybe maybe maybe so many ideas.
Thank you Mods, from now and then, for making the CR possible 🙂
If someone travels a lot, one can keep a couple of the food items from an airplane meal.
Those are fun treats.
I always thought that MM were made of sweet treats.
Esp hamentaschens and a small glass bottle of Kedem grape juice (which is rather expensive.
If someone gives a can of fish or quart of milk, does that person become the Raisin Lady* of Purim?
*Like that one lady in that house over there who always gives a box of raisins on Halloween.
….Actually, little boxes of raisins is a great idea! Also, maybe a few shiny nickels for tzedakah to make it a gift that keeps giving.
Joseph: Unless it’s from McDonald’s, that lunch is way beyond decomposed.
