I send to BYCC. What would you like to know?

I didnt send there but my friends have so I could only tell you what I heard. It is suppose to have the hashkafah of Breuers in Washinton Heights where they lean towards the girls having a secular education. My friends kids loved it but they are not typical Bais Yaacov kids not modern in the way they dress but their thinking is more modern than yeshivish. The principal is suppose to be very nice.

I hope this helps.

Take a ready made graham cracker crust crush a bunch of oreo cookies or the heimishe brand bloomies (it only works with the oreo type not just any sandwich cookie). Take a container of whipped topping do not whip it pour in to crust and freeze until firm.

You might need a little bit more than a container of whip to fill the crust up. We like a lot of cookies so I put in a lot.

Cant get easier than this.

yentingyenta- thanks so much for the info. One more question, how is the reception on the phone. I think my daughter will just order it and hope for the best. I just want a basic phone for her and most of them you need to buy a data package which is annoying.

Anthonys Pier Nine is stunning and very different,but the drive at night or in bad weather could be a challenge.

I got married in Terrace on the Park years ago. I have not been to it in awhile so I dont know if is the same, but back then is was a real great place to get married.

I have a 12 year old chevy suburban and yes it eats up a lot of gas but not more than any other SUV. The tank holds about 28 gallons so if you fill up it will cost a lot for a whole tank full of gas at one time. I do a lot of carpools and in town driving not highway driving so I cant tell you how it does on the open road.

I think it is a real need. Actually I manufacture clothing and so many people have told me that I should make clothing for plus size women and also for pre-teens and teens who are heavy. But the problem is would people pay the price for them because it wouldnt be cheap.

We had the same problem. A boy that sounded amazing was redd to my daughter, by the time we said yes he was busy. My daughter started to go out with someone else that she was iffy about and in the mean time the first boy boy wasnt busy anymore but I told my daughter to forget about the first boy and concentrate on who she was going out with and guess what they got married and they are b’h so happy. I am not saying that this boy that is iffy will be the one, but if the first boy is your bashert he will be there when you are ready.

Another word of advice, never look back and think what about what if. It was not meant to be.

I had 30 people over for the seuda and more people coming and going. I was busy running around giving people buckets to throw up in and I didnt have any liquor out they came drunk from before. I did get angry when one person threw up on my almost new couch and carpet. I want to send them the bill for the cleaning. Other than that it was a really nice purim.

One year I couldnt think of a present so I made a candlelight dinner with all fancy china and I wrote a romantic poem for my husband. Another year I made a picnic with all the trimmings and we sat on blankets in our living room. My husband doesnt go for presents that are religious like megillahs or things like that he would rather have the fancy dinners and a card.

I feel for you. My son is 16 and occasionally wets his bed. He was on medication that helped a lot. Ask your parents to speak to your doctor about the medication.

Also remember to stop drinking a few hours before bed, it might be hard to do in the heat, but try to limit it and go to the bathroom before you go to sleep. Maybe there is someone who could discreetly wake you up a few hours after you fall asleep to go the bathroom.

Good luck

Growing up I went to a bais yaacov school and we always said the pledge of allegiance in the afternoon in english class and we stood and put our hand to our heart.

I know people who put up an american flag on the fourth of July and Memorial day. Also in my neighborhood we have a parade on Memorial day and I know frum people who join in marching and watching and waving flags. It is to show the goyim that even though we are jewish we still feel for america.

Two of my children where hospitalized in Westchester Medical. Both times I was very impressed with the quality of care. I am not saying that there where not mistakes but the nurses where really nice and they went out of their way to make my stay with my kids as comfortable as possible.

I also took one of my sons to the ER of Columbia Presbyterian babies hospital and I was impressed there too. My son needed a sonogram and we where waiting in the waiting room for our turn, we where sitting next to some elderly senile men, the nurse came over and told us to wait in an empty room because she thought my son who was 11 at the time would be more comfortable.

Does it have to be chicken flavored rice because I cant find any. Could I use brown rice and add chicken flavor soup powder? And how much is a box of rice? I would like to make it for shabbos.

One question that my friend asks is what negative trait does he have.Everyone is not perfect and not every negative trait is bad so it would be interesting to hear what is said. When we were looking into a boy when my daughter was going out all we heard was great things about him so when I asked what negative trait he has we were told he is very absentminded which might be fine for some but not everyone could handle it.

Also dont forget to ask if he is on any medication or if he has any chronic illnesses you would be surprised as to what is not told if not asked.

I dont know where you live but I know my friends brother in law in Lakewood get their hats at a second hand store for I think 5-10 dollars and the hats are in good condition. Just ask people where you live if there is a second hand store they might have hats.

I feel for you. My husband is in IT also and is out of work and we have a large family and tuitions to pay and food and clothing plus we are making a chasuna. First get on all the programs if you have little kids under 3 you can get WIC and then there are food stamps tomche shabbos and child health plus all this helps but it is not the real answer. I suggested to my husband to go to lawyer and doctor offices who need an IT person but not on a steady basis and let them know you are looking for more customers and give them a card.

Families in IT should have a support group, I know so many that were hit very hard. I feel your pain. I dont know your situation but for us I was a stay at home mom but I had to go out and get a job but we couldnt afford babysitting so I opened a store and when ever I have to go into the city that day my husband will watch it is not ideal but we need to pay our bills.

Hatzlocha and I will keep you in mind when I daven.

P.S. I forgot to mention that my husband has an ad running in our local jewish paper to fix private peoples computer or to get rid of viruses ect.

I have just been own this road with my daughter. We were getting redd boys and they were asking for a photo, we asked our Rav who told us under no circumstances are we to give a photo. If they will not go out without seeing one and just by the shadchans description then it is not for us. If the shadchan never met the girl and wants to see a photo that is fine but it must be returned.I blamed it on my rav, if the boys mother wants to argue with a rav then over a picture I am not interested in that family.

B”H my daughter marrried the first boy she went out with and she was 19 without the boy seeing a picture.

What I know boys mothers do is find out when the girl who was redd to their son is going to a simcha and they will try to get a look at her while she is at the simcha.

It depends who you ask.

I procrastinate too much.

This past yom tov I had my eyes professionally done. It was very thick the first day but by the third day it still looked great I did get a lot of compliments and I had to explain to some people that I did not put on makeup on yom tov. For foundation and blush I did it myself and just put on a few layers and I bought lipstick that stays on for a few days. I did have to be careful eating and I slept sitting up with several pillows but by the third day it still looked good and yes by the end of yom tov I couldnt wait to scrub my face but I would do it again.

Anyone have any cookie recipes using oil instead of margarine?

When my son was 12 hours old he was rushed for emergency surgery for a urology problem. The doctor reassured us that he will be able to have his bris on time, but the mohel who is very well known said that it has to be pushed off because he still had a few stitches. According to the doctor it was medically okay but not according to the mohel so he had his bris a few weeks late. Halacha overrides a medical decision.

I was a sternberg camper for many years.Some years I liked it and some I hated. Now many years later I am friends with a lot of the staff and my kids are campers and love every minute of it.

Minute Man

I have a dermatologist on Kissena blvd Dr.Frederick Periara he is located on 5114 kissena blvd. flushing number is 718-359-4425. I have never been to his office but I did hear that his staff are not so friendly but I know him on a personal level (long story ) he is very good and I know for a fact that he saved peoples lives by catching things early (skin cancer and other things not even in his field.

If you do go please let me know what you think of him.

I have a friend with very bad psorriosis and he goes to Israel and sits in the dead sea and comes back “cured” for a long time. If going to Israel is not an option maybe you could get the dead sea mud Like Ahava products and see if that helps.
