    seasons on Main Street is open . I have gone there. It’s lovely.

    Like a smaller version of Pomegranet. They even offer valet parking.

    Also, Kollel store is very accomodating. Not as fancy looking but accommodating and ahs fresh food and I think best prices of the bunch coz they are not quite as fancy.

    if it keeps your hat or shtraimel dry why do you care so much what it looks like. it is not being worn for fashion. it is being worn to keep you dry.

    think about uggs boots, they are quite ugggggggly but they keep my feet nice and warm

    in reply to: sunglasses are not tznius?! #802647

    Participant

    this is ridiculous. i wear sunglasses for multiple reasons. 1-it is supposed to protect your eyes from cataracts in the future. 2 if the sun is bright i sometimes see little flashes as my eyes are sensitive and my eye dr said to wear the sunglasses.

    for me sunglasses are year round. i know someone else mentioned it , but for the record there is sun during the winter and when ther is snow it is also very bright so sunglasses helps.

    how bout we pick on fancy cars next or maybe ordering a steak in a restaurant is not tznius. or maybe large pieces of jewelry is not tznius. i think all engagement rings should be assured as not tznius.

    give it a break folks

    many chew gum to aid in dieeting.

    for the record, i have been to the krm supermarket and seen women in shaitels (50 plus years old) chewing gum. it didnt make me think they were not tzniusdik.

    one actually crackeled the gum and that annoys my husband tremendoussly.

    we once went to a concert and a woman two rows behind us kept crackling her gum. i finally turned around and asked her not to crackle as we came to hear the concert by the musicians not the crackling of her chewing gum…she did stop!

    just out of curiousity, if someone is foolish enough to post over Shabbos does that poster get black listed?

    I know people who have Facebook and said their name has been listed to liking a product during Shabbos time. I believe it has to do with the product posting the ”likes” rather than when the poster posted it.

    i think 3k for a shaitel is insane. unless you have extra money laying around it is a shame to spend so much money for that. which by the way, the shaitel is usually beautiful and even nicer than the persons hair, which makes me wonder where the tznius has gone.

    here’s a thought. tell your child(ren) that you are LOANING them the money for the downpayment and can call the loan at any time. this way if all is happy in their home you have no need to call it , but if there ever comes a time that things are bad, you can call the laon so that your in law child does not profit from the money you laid out.

    and what is the story with chewing gum?

    if you buy the mentos with the hebrew words on it , it is almost 3 bux a pack. the english one is about 1.29

    i cant read the hebrew ingredients. anyone know the difference?

    also, ive seen where twizzlers has a sticker slapped on it and is then kosher enough for the frum stores to carry it, yet the twizzlers sold in shop rite that has no sticker is less expensive.

    hmmmmmmmm

    how about the old pixy stix? they are nothing like the ones they have nowadays.

    dont forget the old hair curling iron that you stuck into a flame to heat up.

    refrigerators that had ice all around the freezer.

    ovens with pilot lights; suitcases without wheels; black and white tvs with the rabbit ear antennas; tv tubes in back of the tv; the old PF Flyers sneakers; spalding pink balls, stickball bats made from an old mop or broom; old seltzer bottles delivered to your house; fresh milk delivered in a glass bottle; an AM transistor radio; clotheslines to hang the wet clothes on; clothespins too of course; cars without power steering and power brakes!!!

    oomis-i thought your advice was excellent!

    momma-here’s yet another idea. when your mil says something negative try to interject something positive. if she says the soup is too bland, tell her that she can add salt and pepper but you and the family prefer it jsut the way it is.

    if she says the house is not clean enough, tell her its clean enough to be healthy and messy enough to be happy.

    i actually bought a little plaque like that 35 yrs ago for my own howm. my mil is a clean-a-holic and i am a clean person, yet slightly cluttered in some rooms. (not kitchen and bathrooms, they are spotless)my mil saw that sign and got the drift…in a nice way.

    try to make your comments in a friendly way so that things dont turn into an all out war. that wont be good for anyone.

    another option is…let her say what she says and try really hard to have it go in one ear and out the other.

    it wont cost you anything if you can work that into your head.

    good luck!
