coffee addict: i stil can’t do it. I went into my profile and i cant type in a name over mine.
bpt: true, true…
where do i go to check it out? or anyones profile?
I really miss Dr. Pepper, Sac, Blinky, Squeak, and Oomis. I keep wondering, what makes someone popular and missed; is it because their posts are interesting? Or because they disappear and make you wait and wait…and then reappear suddenly?!
ok coffee addict, this is for you!
by the way, how can i see what threads you’ve posted on so i can respond to you?
always runs with a scissors fast: or maybe it was the bread?
Well Dr. Pepper, many of us love to hear from you! please comment more often!
Dr. Pepper! so good to hear from you again!
smartcookie: kol hakavod! enjoy your wig!
bpt: good one! if i had that kind of money to use on a gift…lol!
mommamia22: i’m sure (and i hope) there is a difference, after all you are paying quite alot of $! i personally wouldnt, but i have to say they are beautiful! wear it in good health! One thing you mentioned is another reason i wouldnt buy those really amazing customs, its hard to tell that one is wearing a wig…
Heimishe Mom: I hear ya’. My point was that there are other shaitels that are just as good as those expensive shaitels. The quality of the hair is very good in my milano, it sits and sets well. Maybe I do have to dye it more often than you do, but i sure hope you dont have to dye it “as often” as i do! After all, i’m sure you paid a pretty penny for that! I did pay less and i have to say that for the price i paid, i got very much ahead.
No offense to those who spend alot, but you can get a good shaitel for less. And even if i had to dye it every 6 months, like someone i know, i would still come out ahead at $75 a dye.
One last point, i’m not a shaitel macher and dont claim to know so much about shaitels, but doesnt the hair color have to do with when you decide to dye it? Dont some hair colors have longer life than others? Dont some dye’s last longer than others?
adorable: you mean take advantage of your parents $? why? dont they give you enough? dont you think that spending that kind of money when you can get one of similar or sometimes better quality for less is a nice thing a kallah can do for her parents who have so much to pay for already? (sorry about the run on!!) I can understand that someone would buy such an expensive one after their married a few years and knows what style (s)he likes (i still think its silly to spend so much, but i can understand it more in this situation). What do you think?
time heals…happened to me and it takes time, or your bashert, to erase it.
cshapiro: wow! thats amazing! and yes shaitel boxes are that expensive. I decided to do without the box. I wear my shaitel to my inlaws and when i have to take it off, i put it on a shaitel head.
smartcookie: I have a long shaitel, dark brown, that i bought 3 1/2 years ago. Its in perfect condition and i only had to dye it 2 times. Its my shabbos shaitel so i dont wear it as often as my weekday. Both my shabbos (a very long one cost $800) and weekday (which is a pony for $475) i bought at milano. Very cheap and long lasting. Every time i tell someone where and when i got it they are surprised. i dont know why, but they are.
I find that shaitels are a mazel. I know of 3 people, friends and family, who bought at shevy – who has a great name, and were not so happy. Others rave about her. I personally cant afford a shevy, but i wouldnt jump to an expensive shaitel company right away. Cuz like i mentioned, i got cheaper shaitels and have great experiences.
A sheep without a spleen: Although this is the first time i’m hearing of “BeHaB”, yekkes (or anyone else for that matter) dont move a minhag, they just have a different one.
i used to have minor panic attacks. It was a very bad feeling, my heart would race, i would breathe erratcially, my head would pound, etc… i never knew what it was and was scared to find out. But i always felt that knowing and taking care of it is very important so i went ot dr. adn he told me it was panic attacks. As murphys law dictates, after i went to the dr, the panic attacks went away! I dont remember what triggered them or if anything triggered them, but i do remember feeling foolish after that…it wasnt the first time that a pain or injury would go away when i went to the doctor just for a visit and there was nothing wrong….
ok, can someone clarify please? what is BeHaB? I am so confused? Is it Mon, Thurs, Mon? Touching a cousin? A korban? A fast? Mingling?
wow this thread certainly spun around….i’m almost afraid to ask if we can get back on track….
MiddlePath: every time i see your posts i feel compelled to read them. Not just because they are interesting and deep, but because i am in awe of how you came through all this…best of luck to you..
watching a concert on a home video usually gives me headaches. Maybe now they have video cameras/phones/ipods…that are clearer than the VHS tapes but unless its taped professionaly, you wont find me enjoying it…
sometimes i come in the front door, sometimes i come in the back door, sometimes through a window, always after my older brother and always before my younger brother.
truth is, i’ve been asked that question alot and i really dont know where i come from…
i just went to check it out on youtube…amazing!
Just by the sound of his voice, the kid at the end sounds like eli gerstners son. On one of his previous albums (i htink it was either a YBC album or one of his solo albums) theres a baby saying “1,2,3!” I found out that that was his baby.
Bar Shattya: and putting faith in a rock?!
i said it as a zechus for a shidduch for someone close to me – Hashems answer must’ve been ‘not now’
happiest: I just read your last post “Just wanted to say one thing. Not all people who have been physically abused won’t make a good wife.” During one of our shidduch discussions, i asked my husband what the general opinion was of the boys in his yeshiva about dating a girls who was ‘physically harmed’. His answer was as follows:
A girl who was abused is not considered ‘damaged goods’ (i apologize for the term. this is how i was told it) and most boys wont hold back for that reason. They may be sometimes concerned about how the inscident(s) affected her but otherwise, its not her fault.
Mods: if you find this post to be inappropriate, please edit it. but i do think this may be helpful information to some.
doodlejump: its not that he feels he’s forgoing the mitzvah, its a matter of perspective. Believe me, i know from a firsthand point how much a member of hatzoloh gives..!! I dont know if this is a good way to explain myself but i’ll try: one should eat a fruit to make a berach, not make a beracha to eat the fruit.
As far as a gift for a rebbe/morah, a parent is mechuyav to teach his child. If he cant for whatever reason, he hires someone. When you hire someone, you have to pay. And just like, lehavdil a manicurist or barber, many people feel the need to tip.
Gavra at work: I think that the difference, imho, is that men in kollel usually need the discount more than others. This is not to say that hatzoloh members or any other person doesnt. From a personal standpoint, we could really use the discount. Besides, i thought that the kollel discount was a store owners way of contributing his part to the ‘yisschar-zevulun’ partnership. Whereas the hatzoloh discount is when one shows appreciation. correct me if i’m wrong.
Thank you Observanteen and princesseagle. I find that when i write at the time of my strong feelings – the words come straight from the heart and there is nothing more sincere than the words of the heart…you can ask my english teacher…lol!
I love Him too! But, gumball, as much as i respect your outgoing feelings to Him, actions speak louder than words. Lets try to show our love to Him by applying it toward chesed, personal growth…
this reminds me of a story that a coworker of mine told me. She said she never wore perfume before. But she did wear perfume on her first date. She ended up marrying the guy and he asked her to wear that perfume more often. I was cracking up cuz he gives the impression that he knows nothing about perfume! But, i learned that some men like some things, like perfume, and putting some on for your husband is not only fine, its the right thing to do.
It doesnt sound like your husband meant for you to drown out other womens perfume, cuz that would be toxic!! lol!
@Taking A Break and Gavra at work:
Maybe 10 years ago or more it could have been considered fancy night gowns. But now, would you wear rhinestones, sequins, buttons, beads, and other fancy shiny stones to sleep in? I dont think so and if you did, that would be quite uncomfortable! What about the newest style-‘jumper robes’? which are sleeveless and you wear a shell underneath? Or the ‘wrap robes’? that have so much material one could have a very hard time sleeping in them? and of course, what about the price? who would sleep in a $200 (or more!) nightgown?!
It may have started out as fancy night clothes, but it certainly isnt anymore!!
This letter is to my best friend who lost her first baby at almost a year and a half. This happened a few years ago, but unfortunately, we all know of people that lost someone precious to them
Dear __________,
Its been a long time since we spoke. I dont know what to say to you and i dont know what i shouldnt. The tragedy that happened to you is something a mother never expects and can hardly move on from. Especially so young…
I know you are probaly wondering why I didnt call you yet, why aside for the shiva i didnt visit you. Well, my dearest friend, I have no excuse. When i pick up the phone to dial your number, i freeze and thoughts keep running through my head in big block cap letters: How can i call when things are so good for me? How can I call when i’m expecting my 2nd baby, and had my first one after you? How can i call you when you are having trouble having another baby? Will you be hurt? Happy for me? will you listen to me or just hang up on me? will you be distant and not talk to me anymore?
I cant bear to lose you as a friend! we went through so much together!
I want you to know that i daven for you. not out of pity, but out of a deep yearning that you should have the same happiness that i have. That you should have the same nachas that i have. That you should have children to comfort you and bring you and your husband happiness and fulfillment.
I love you so much, dearest friend, and i want to see you happy again…i dont want to lose you…
Your loving friend,
Now that a few years passed, i can say that my friend did have children and she is happy. we are still close as ever and i did speak to her after about a month of fear, dread, tears and sorrow…
My husband is a member of hatzoloh and the only time he does accept the discount is when the cashier notices his radio (or if he happens to be wearing his shirt/jacket with teh hatzoloh emblem) and automatically gives the discount. I asked him why he doesnt take advantage of it and he said what a previous member mentioned, he doesnt want to get paid for a mitzvah.
same here!
adorable: everyone has a ‘peckel’ or ‘a past’. some just know how to hide it better…
Observanteen: You’re right ot an extent.
