Please don’t take offense, but you need some excitement in your life ASAP. Get busy with something. Quick.
Yeeeeaaah!!!!!!!!!!
Yeeeeaaah!!!!!!!!!!
….And the clock struck five! I am finally free to enjoy the delicious outdoors! Yessss!
See you outside, friends!
No offense to anyone, but I’m NOT gonna miss the CR! I’m gonna be way too busy enjoying every second with my family. Hopefully.
Just because someone isn’t popular, doesn’t mean they don’t have plenty of friends.
For example, I was/am always popular among my friends, but not in the community/school/camp etc.
We’re turning it over on Wednesday.

Meeeee Toooooo!!!!!
I make the best pizza in Rockland County. The reason it is so good is cuz my Bubby gave me her secret recipe.
Quit my job.

What kinda books are you interested in?
Wow. This is a first, I think.
My God, I cannot remember the last time I was actually bored.
The popular debate among smart high schoolers…!
I don’t care for either of them.
It’s in my nature to resent popularity. I’m popular among my friends and family. But I was never the kid in school that EVERYONE (Nursery thru twelfth)) knew her name.
And about “smart”? Well, I’m definitely not stupid. But here’s how dictionary.com defines smart:
Smart: having or showing quick intelligence or ready mental capability
I’m more impressed with this one:
Wise: having the power of discerning and judging properly as to what is true or right; possessing discernment, judgment, or discretion.
Lucky me, I got both! 🙂 But seriously, smarts are overrated.
(If I’d define smart differently, I’d probably attach more importance to it, though.)
Nope. Heard its dangerous.
I want a stunning diamond ring (stunning, not davka expensive), but I don’t care for all the other stuff like necklace, earrings,bracelet, machzorim, (even leichter-I’m fine with silver plated or whatever).
Regarding the wedding night- I’d forget about flower centerpieces, do a simple menu, one man band. Can’t think of anything else, but I’d take suggestions from my parents/in-laws and cooperate with them.

B”H you haven’t lost the sensitivity to Tznius (and mentshlichkeit) as is obvious from your last post. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for some of the other posters.
Regarding your question: I think that a good way to inform your male classmates about your hands-off rule, is to wait until you are in a group project situation like you mentioned, and in a light, casual way let eveyone in the group know that as an orthodox jew you are prohibited by Torah law to have physical contact with the opposite gender.
Smile while you say it (NOT APOLOGETICALLY!) in a way that says “I’m not trying to make a big deal out of this, let’s keep the mood here comfortable; and I can still take part in group discussions like everyone else.” But make sure you sound firm.
(Sort of like when you would explain to your co-worker why you cannot enjoy the box of chocolate that she brought you for New Years. Friendly but firm.)
They most likely never heard of this before, and may ask questions or be a little awkward around you in the beginning. But keep up a friendly, albeit slightly distant demeanor and they’ll realize you’re actually normal! (except for this wierd no-touching religious quirk…)
Btw- Don’t forget to ask Hashem for Hatzlacha!
I envy your opportunity here to make such a tremendous Kiddush Hashem.
Good Luck!
Ask.

Apology accepted.
They know you’re Shomer Negiah, right (both the jewish and non-jewish students)? I think that once that’s clear to everyone, it eliminates a lot of problems.
Be good TO them, not WITH them. Smile when you say good morning, but make sure your smile says nothing more than “Good Morning” Guys will pick up the messages from your body language. You just make sure to convey the right message.
Good luck!

Were you responding to the.nurse’s post about the chassidishe guys?

These films always make me think about how I would’ve dealt with it if I were to have lived through all that. I often wonder if I would be as brave and strong as our grandparents who went on to raise new families after all they went through.
It kind of nudges me to try to develop the strength and Emunah of that generation.

Wow! You make me feel so tough for getting out of bed in the morning. And for looking forward for Shabbosim and Yomim Tovim. You’re sure you don’t wanna revise that statement?
I’m with smartlittlecookie on the dark colors….

I was wondering the same thing…
Because it’s not bashert yet.
My favorite part of school were those Public Speaking asignments that most girls dread. I loved it! But I always got annoyed by the 1,001 tips that the teachers prepped us with…all those rules kind of took the fun out of it.
I miss that opportunity to speak before a crowd…don’t get that out there in life…
(And I was GOOD at it, too…!)
Like am yisrael chai said- maybe you guys can do something nice during sheva brachos?
(What were her friends thinking????)
B’Shah Tova!!!!
Sorry, not my area of expertise (yet!)…
“…until we make kiddush”
So make kiddush!
adorable
Yup…ur definitely in my neighborhood!! I think their cars are cute, but I never actually used their service…
Anyways, I’m grateful for my wonderful sisters who cleaned my room for Pesach for me! I love them; they are THE best!
adorable
I was wondering what happened to that thread from yesterday!
mewho
Good for u! Wish I can afford that! I treat myself every once in a while…
Btw-Anyone tried essie’s Glamour? Wonder if its pretty…
Let them nap Erev Yom Tov till late afternoon.
Make sure they’re actively participating in the Seder, so they don’t get bored!

I never heard that before…you really switch havaras according to whom you’re speaking to? But then it’s confusing cuz the litvak is talking like a chassid and the chassid like a litvak—-?!?
BTW-why do people automatically talk ten tones louder when they’re speaking to some1 who’s not fluent in English? Like, “WHEEEEEEEEERE ARE YOOOOUU FROOOOOOMM???????” isn’t any easier to understand than “Where are you from?”!!!
I agree with Raya
Yes it would….except I’m not telling! See ya on the road!

Happy (18th?)Birthday to you and your friend!! May you have a wonderful year!
Well I don’t live far from Corner 59 & 306…
luvme, correction, and adorable
So you’re all from Rockland County?
Don’t know, but I am trying…that counts, right?
Misery loves company…I hate the fact that I feel so at home in this thread….May we all find our bashert very soon!

Like it.
Another dating thread! I thought I’d log in to the CR to get a break from all that…
Getting old and realizing that I haven’t accomplished nearly as much as I could have. And there’s no turning back the clock. And I’m never gonna be the person I could’ve been.
But I’m not gonna let that happen. Hopefully.
Hi, M and Bwashere-
Welcome to the thread, and thanks for sharing your inspiration!
Please keep posting everyone!
Like postsemgirl, I feel special because I’m a Yid. I feel special for lots of other reasons, but I hate long posts, so….
I flunked Algebra in school. A few years later, my sister was having a really hard time with it. So I opened the book, taught it to myself, taught it to her, and she aced the test. Since then I’ve helped half my neighborhood with their own Algebra.
I have no idea why it seemed so impossible back in school.

Nice work; I enjoyed reading them! Thanks for sharing…
(Regarding your post in the other thread: I don’t know if this has anything to do with your friend getting engaged, but when my close friends started getting engaged I completely freaked out about life. Everything looked so scary and I kept wondering how they weren’t afraid to go on to the next stage…bottom line, the only thing that helped was 1) Figuring out what the proper hishtadlus is to ensure a healthy & successful dating and marriage experience 2) Develope a meaningful connection with Hashem. The future is always scary, because that’s where the unknown is. But I think I’m ready to go there now….)
Sorry, I know this post doesn’t belong here…too lazy to jump around from thread to thread!
