I almost got security involved in the apple store for being in there for too long with a friend.

all bugs-the worst are the flying roaches and waterbugs and the black spiders, actually all bugs! um…I’m itching and eeeewwww…I think I just saw a black thingy on the floor aaahhhhh!

I’m not judging but I dont think that a young girl should have one. Its a waist of money and totally a tool for the worst that she has. Once you’re back from sem. fine, but until then, why in the world? A phone should be enuf.

Since la is very spread out, and I don’t live on one of those concentrated with jews blocks, there are only about five frum families on my block. All the jews just stay indoors because in addition to being asked for candy, its a bit dangerous out there. My grandmother used to get eggs at her door all the time.

I just wanted to clarify something. I’m a lifeguard but I am not certified to teach swimming (although some day I hope to get certified) make sure that whoever teaches you is certified to teach and is a lifeguard and dont let them “practice” on you like I’ve seen a lot of times.

there are cars that drive themselves-google cars (and I actually saw one just last week-its really cool)

I want to see something that can make you skinny and beautiful without pain and in an instant!

There was a time when I had exactly what ur describing (even worse) and I found that the answers didn’t make me really believe. What helped me find my place in yiddishkeit was that I went to a camp where the girls weren’t sooooo yeshivish but I found that they had more meaning to yiddishkeit than the girls who were really, really greased. They davened well, etc. and that’s when I realized that you don’t have to be soooo frum to be an ovaid hashem. The point is to serve hashem with sincerity.

mosherose can you tell us-r u married??!!!! U never answered that.

one easy one is shut lights and water when not in use

WIY I know this is a late response but in school when you can’t just go wherever you want to its almost impossible because someone who sits behind you might start shmone esrei before you without you realizing it like some people start early. I’m not saying impossible-if there’s a will there’s a way but it definitely proves a bit more difficult in school.

mosherose-if u want to, ignore your wife. Go ahead. I won’t marry you or anyone like you and I pity your wife if this is the way you look at marriage. Your wife is not a factory machine to make children in. She is a human being who deserves to be treated properly and talking to her is not an aveira. Stop with your rediculous thing of not spending time with your wife!

mosherose who do u think u are to call someone an apikores?! I agree with minyan gal-from your posts you sound like nobody in the world is frum enuf for you yet you still think the internet is ok.

I didn’t read thru the whole thread but all I can say is that its very hard to get around a room when there are hundreds of people davening. Example in school-there are girls EVERYWHERE you walk and while you daven there are girls all over you. How are you supposed to do anything like that? They can’t either make davening rooms the size of…..????

elegiac…

sm29-mesivta of greater los angeles is something else. That’s a yeshiva with a dorm, litvish (mostly)-a whole different story, and yes that’s not in the city. But, there is another high school called the mesivta which is the chassidish h.s. but its very small and so you may not have heard of it.

basicly, la is a gr8 place.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ROX!

Hey boring nyers! c’mon-nothing’s like sunny gorgeous california.

Sit at the beach and take in the breeze and the crystal clear beige sand and the blue crashing waves……yyyuuuummmm!

Ya and we have a nice jewish community here too! Take a look at the la thread. U nyers r just jealous lol

My friends would all know I’m on a date without asking-I wouldn’t be able to keep my mouth shut lol.

Theres a big difference in the elementary and high schools. The elementary is more open-minded.

emoticon613 does she go to the elementary or high school of the chassidish school? There’s a HUGE difference!

:)glad to know there are some normal people out there. 🙂

I didn’t go there but I know many girls who did and none of them said its closing. They all said they’re going back. I think everyone would’ve known about it if it was really closing.

I was very busy last night so I gave u a very brief description but now I can elaborate. First of all I disagree with a few people. LA can’t be labeled as more or less tznius because there are SO many different types here. There are very yeshivish people (although they are still plenty open-minded), there are less yeshivish people, even less yeshivish, modern, MO, All types! A lot depends on how yeshivish you are-where u would live here. The area where I live is more yeshivish and the schools I am affiliated with are also more yeshivish. They do have much more of a limited choice and the community is very spread out and mixed up. There’s not that much choice in schools. There are many kollelim all over. There are pretty few yeshivas and I’d say Yeshiva Gedolah is the biggest. The community is very warm. Yes, the mentality is very different. Nobody pushes, shoves, screams, honks, speeds, etc. here. People are calmer, friendlier, nicer and more patient. People don’t stare at you all day, they are more open-minded and all around a very nice place. Hollywood is probably five minutes from my house but if you don’t want to you don’t go. I don’t even know which movie stars live next door to me! The billboards I got used to (but I’m a girl) since I grew up here. This post is getting long but if you need any more info. maybe the mods can give you my email or something. G’luck!
