Parrot jungle.

That’s not true. A certain wealthy 86 year old just married a woman 60 years younger than him and the tabloids are all calling her a gold digger and saying its a sham. Your perceptions of the non Jewish works us skewed.

If you are not being supporter.. It’s almost an impossibility. If you are and your parents are on board and willing to help… Ahh do it!

This is a really good breakfast meal ( very low in ww points so that’s a plus)

1 cup dry oats ( Quaker ridge very cheap) 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 eggs, 2 tbsp hot water

Mix together and fry like a pan cake. So good and so filling. Enjoy!

I completely agree! ( with the first part, not so much the therapy although it does work for some!)

It is so important to maintain good communication with your spouse as it is so much harder to work on your relationship once you have kids. BH we were blessed with a beautiful baby this passed summer, and it does take up most of our time/conversation! We resolve to just stay up very late so we have time to spend together and to talk about our days and everything else under the sun. My husband and I did date longer than I’m sure most people on this site, so we were lucky to have a lot of time together Doing fun things, now I’m lucky to have an amazing mother who ( when I feel like we need a date night) will come and watch our baby so we can grab dinner together.

Don’t feel like your relationship is in a bad place if your kids take over your life though. That’s what happens, it’s not just about you anymore. And that’s beautiful!

Dank, the chances of you running into a wild rabid dog in the US are almost non existent. Btw my father carries a gun at all times too.

Yes big dogs such as mine can cause a lot of bodily harm , but they won’t unless provoked. My pits are the most gentile and loving animals out there , but of someone threatened me infront of them.. Good luck. Thanks golfer! I’m sure they would love to meet you, or any animal lover.

There is a homeless Jewish man who always sit on a certain corner where I live along for money. I must admit I have never stopped and even done more than smiled. Yesterday I was walking with my mother and she ( as always) stopped to give him a few dollars. With shaking hands he accepted and asked if we could get him hot soup from the pizza store next to where he sits. My mom was more than happy to do so. In my head this thread was playing over and over. My mother happens to be a wonderful person, and I felt like a horrible one becAuse I live here and see him almost everyday, she was visiting. True story, had to share.

Am I overly gullible or is this the actual mindset of main stream yeshivish?

The OP never said the dog was not on a leash. I can call my dog and it will come back to me but the leesh has a lot of slack. My dogs bark all the time and not in a menacing way. Maybe the OP has no experience with dogs so he finds them to be threatening. My dogs happen not to like men other than the ones in my immediate family. BH they have never attacked anyone but it a man comes up to them they bark and walk backwards in a defensive mode. The frum world is inherently petrified of dogs and I don’t understand it.

It’s not as if I/we are saying to let them fend for themselves on the street. But there are thousands of tzedakas that need our money. Every month my husband and I give maaser money to a Jewish orphanage in israel, chickens for shabbos, tomchei shabbos where we love, and to one of his rebbes yeshivas. We could possibly fall under the category of not having to give based on our incomes since we are really struggling but we give because we know there are people who are in need more than us, and Hashem will always take care of us. I would much rather my money go to people who actually need it for food, clothing, yeshivas in need of funds etc. I can’t understand an argument saying that it is better for the money to go to one persons mortgage so they can continue their lavish lifestyle.

WIC is not for the disabled I don’t know where you heard that.i ” qualified” when I was pregnant but never signed up or took the money because I was working full time.

Shmoel you seem very defensive. Do you have any evidence that what people are saying here is false? I h e said this in many threads and I will again; the overuse of food stamps and welfare is out of control. I know so many people unfortunately who work off the books yet collect every benefit they can. I have friends in Lakewood who have 2/3 kids but never got legally married, so my friend is on welfare as a single mother. She gets every possible benefit while her his and is learning, she is working full time off the books and her parents are paying their rent and car Etc. erev rosh hashana this year she sent me a picture of this stunning woolen yuntif outfit for her son and said you should come to Lakewood and get ( my son) a Yuntif out, I said I would love too but it’s probably out of my price range. She said something like ” lol yeah so ask your parents for the money”. What a sad world we live in!

I don’t know the Halacha well but I am having a hard time wrapping my head around what I am hearing. If a big chunk of tzedaka money can go to feeding 100 people and providing clothing, shabbos meals etc, is the money better spent paying one previously rich mans high mortgage? I don’t understand this. I don’t see what is wrong about someone having to down size their life. When I was in 5th grade we moved to a smAller house because the utilities were just too high as were properly taxes. We didn’t ask anyone to foot the bill.

I can only try: anytime! Let me know.

There is a store on Main Street I’m Queens that fixes the iPod touch screen for $50. They do a good job. I can get the number if you are interested.

Why do people assume the OP wants his wife to compromise her Tsnius? Argggg! That’s not what he said. I see perfectly Tsnius women everyday on the streets who still look beautiful. It gives me motivation since having my child I have been a wee bit lazy, but I’m trying!

Our kids are NOT like the goyim. That is a bad situation and humiliating if the passerby knew the children were Jewish, but still we are on a different level. I taught 5th/6th grade two years ago, and you probably would my believe the things those kids were Into.. And they were ultra ultra reformed, not goyim. I usually hate the comparison between different sects of Jews ( in a negative way) we are all Hashems children but I just wanted to point out that there is a big difference. I don’t know many goyish children but I so know Jewish kids in public schools and they are worlds apart from ours. Please everyone don’t jump on what I said.

I’m with popa.

For everyone jumping on the OP, there is a difference between showing off your features and trying I attract men, and just looking put together and attractive. Take a look in the clothing stores In Brooklyn and Queens, clothing is beautiful ( overpriced) but beautiful. There is no reason to dress slobbish, we should be attractive for our spouses.

Can someone explain to me what all this fuss is about? My husband and I had to watch the video after reading this thread. I can understand people saying its a dumb video, the lyrics make zero sense, he is acting like a fool, but what is so BAD. I had to try 3 times to actually freeze frame so I could see ” elbows” that’s how quick it was. I am honestlyore disturbed that so many men here noticed. That really dampens my spirits. I only hope that in the real world my husband is not trying so hard to see a woman look untsnius.

My family to be healthy forever & always.

Parnassah for immediate and extended family.

To have as many children as Hashem will allow me.

I would not do it. My sister in law married a boy who had a drug past, he had been in rehab but was ” all better”. They were married a few months before he relapsed and had to enter rehab again. They were divorced after 10 months. BH they did not have kids, what a disaster that would have been.

I can’t understand why she would take him shooting. Every murderer responsible for these mass killings , columbine, Newtown, Ohio , they were on some kind of medication to combat depression or mental disorders. Why on earth would his mother take him shooting?

It surprises me that people are so gung-ho here I’m their support for webberman. Unless there is specific physical evidence..in most molestation cases all you need to do is find that he is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Others have come out but thy refused to testify because their families fear what will happen to them if they do. How sad is this? A good friend who is a psychiatrist and works primarily in Willaimsburg says that we will never fully be aware of how many sick people with this kind of mental illness are living there. They come to him for help which is definitely a good thing, but the communities keep it so tight lipped and do nothing to protect the children , they just cover it up. You can sit here and pretend that it’s impossible for satmar to produce anything less than a huge Talmud chacham ball chessed etc but you are so wrong and it is so unfortunate.

My husband works with a satmar fellow and they had a big argument about this case. So my husband said ok fine so you think he is innocent? Would you let him be alone in a room with your 2 young daughters everyday? The guy said absolutely. So now I have lost complete respect for the man my husband works with and I said I do not want his name mentioned in my home again.
