Mother in Israel

LOL, Shticky! I got 3 and 4 right immediately. I goofed on the others though.

So now what? Should this now be the “Good Husband’s Guide” since now in most marriages the wives work also?

I wouldn’t want my husband to have a ribbon in his hair when I come home from work.

Anyone who comes anywhere near you will be able to smell that it’s parve cheese.

Don’t forget a change of pants. That’s a must for every kindergartner.

In a former job, I had to go on quite a few business trips. I didn’t need a minyan, but for me the biggest challenge was traveling with my male boss. We flew together and stayed in the same hotel and I was never comfortable with it. It was one of the reasons I quit my job.

To: Mother in Israel. Marrying your (former) brother-in-law is quite common and 100% Halachicly permissible.

I didn’t know it was common, but I had no doubt that it was halachically permissible.

Not to be discouraging, but don’t think it’s much better those first few weeks after birth. Just take one day at a time.

Shlumiel, check out guardyoureyes.org.

Yup. Do you still have family there?

Shmita.

I wouldn’t date a guy who drives a Mustang. My husband wouldn’t let me.

DY–I had a dream last night that I woke up in the morning and logged on to the CR and discovered that you had Joseph written under your screen name. I was really disappointed because I had always enjoyed your posts and it was a big letdown to find out that you were Joseph all along.

You can even get a touch screen phone with popular jewish tunes for ring tones!

I have a kosher phone which is touch screen and has Jewish tunes for ringtones. My ringtone is Shwekey singing Harachaman.

When I was a teenager, I sometimes went to shiurim on Shavuos night. Now that I’m a busy mommy of quite a few, I sleep. I think it’s the most ruchniyus thing for me to do because it gives me koach to take care of my children the following day.

When we asked Rabbi Miller Z”L from Gateshead Sem to give us some extra classes for Shavuos,He explained to us that it is Pikuah nefesh to a girl not to sleep through the night.

Can you kindly tell that to my baby? <yawn>

Iconcur, where in the Galil are you?

Thanks, DH, I got it now.

Actually, one should never drink more than a “m’lo lugmov”

Can you explain this? I remember the rabbi in camp finishing the whole cup every week by havdalah. He claimed it was to avoid a shaila about bracha achrona. I knew that it wasn’t necessary to drink it all, but why is there a problem if someone does?

You’re not a kid, so why did you leave them?

Didn’t you see my previous post? I’m only 9.

But even if I were an adult, I don’t think it would make any difference. There are some things which I feel should not be discussed even in a female-only forum. People there discuss intimate details of their married lives with no qualms just because it’s anonymous. I do understand that some people have a need to get help, but there are professionals for that. Asking advice in these matters from anonymous posters in a forum is not appropriate. I was uncomfortable reading about these issues and felt that it was wrong for it to be as public as it was, so I left. I do miss some aspects of it, but I feel like I’m better off not going there.

for the ‘imamother’ site, you havta be a Jewish female & married to join their site.. you are asked to fill out a questionnaire at registration so that they can ‘verify’ (?) that you are so. I would imagine it’s not foolproof, but…

It’s not foolproof at all. Any married man who knows hilchos taharas hamishpacha could answer those questions, and anyone else could use google to figure it out.

I think it depends on what the issue is.

To understand it better, you have to read the thread. Dovid S asked “Whom?” when he should have asked “Who?” (He was asking who said something.) I think that was why Mr. 80 answered “Youm” instead of “You.”

“health- he said that now he knows what type you are (joking).”

I don’t know what he/you are talking about, I haven’t made any jokes on this thread.

He meant that he was joking when he said he knows now what type you are.

I had a similar situation to this today. I went out with a friend and her husband came to drive us home. When he got out of the car to help me with the stroller, I saw that his pants zipper was open. There was no way I was going to say anything to him, but I briefly entertained the thought of telling my friend so she could tell her husband. I didn’t end up saying anything because I thought she might be embarrassed if I would point it out to her too.

Coffee Rooom addiction can do that to you. Do you perhaps feel that you are not being productive during the day because you are constantly in the Coffee Room?

That would be me.
