kollel_wife: I only ever read one Agatha Christie novel (not even really a novel – an adaptation of a play), but it did have some romantic intrigue…although, Sherlock Holmes does sometimes too, and it’s pretty much okay. So I dunno.
*phew*
DON’T POP IN!!! Please! Your child will be FINE. He just got used to being in an unfamiliar environment away from Mommy. We’ve got your number if anything goes wrong. If he sees you, I’m the one who’s going to suffer. (Especially prevalent in bungalow colonies.)

Just make sure it isn’t pink. (Bad memories…)
Okee-dokey. Start guessing! 🙂
In my house, we dump all the food in a pile and when we run out of our own mishloach manos, we start stuffing new bags. Otherwise, we don’t recycle. Is that nerdy?
I don’t think Agatha Christie is what kollel_wife is looking for.
Should I start a new one? *evil grin?*
No ethical conundrum after all? 🙂
That’s like those people who let their kids choose their religion when they’re ten. It doesn’t make sense. It’s also not proper chinuch.
Incidentally, I don’t think I would allow my kids to watch Nick Jr. even if I were irreligious. That stuff is the shtussiest shtuss ever.
I know. That’s how I know of it. 🙂
Hashem can make another oppertunity for them to meet again
Or He might not. You’re making presumptions on Hashem’s will.
No, don’t fall off the page! 🙁
Does anyone want to start one?
if it’s beshert, it will work because it’s Hashem’s will.
The author also says that we also have free will and can reject the person.
Aren’t these somewhat mutually exclusive?
The Westing Game, by Ellen Raskin. 🙂 Not sure if you’d say Sherlock Holmes is okay, but there’s that too.
Don’t forget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goshen_%28village%29,_New_York

Unethical? lol
lol, I didn’t see that, actually. *eavesdrops retroactively*
Sure. 🙂 But what do you mean, eavesdropping?
Going once…
twice…
As someone who was raised in exactly such an environment, I don’t think that it’s a good solution. You need to have a very definite set of standards for what sort of home you want and what you allow in. Experimentation without any framework of values doesn’t always end in wisdom and appreciation of Yiddishkeit and all that yadda. Just “within reason” needs more specific qualification.

Is it manmade?
more, there’s a way to change your screen name from the user name you registered with. Once you do that, if a person doesn’t know your real user name, they can’t access your profile. There are issues with this, so this feature isn’t publicized. Naisberg is probably an old poster who changed names, or a reincarnation of an old poster who knows the tricks.
I think what Logician is saying makes a lot of sense. Someone who is a “tzaddik ben tzaddik” – a tzaddik in their own right, childhood conditioning notwithstanding, and without it being a reaction to negativity – is truly someone great.
For the essay, it is VITAL to prepare several catch-all topics. Memorize some profound quotes from Einstein or somebody. Otherwise, you’ll freeze up on the real thing – it’s hard to construct a well-planned essay entirely within 20 minutes.
I think you killed some of my highly esteemed brain cells. Good work.
Thanks, SG. (Not from Canada, by the way. 🙂 )
Yay! I got it! 😀 😀 😀 Thanks, Goq! It was a good one! 😀

Hey, pops, where are our troll threads?
Being super-rational isn’t really better than being super-emotional, you know…

Oh dear, we’ve been invaded….
I agree. To everyone going on about schools preparing you for the SAT – I don’t think that has any bearing. It’s testing the most basic scholastic skills. Nobody’s taking to the test and going, “OMG! I never learned any of this!” What makes it tricky (IMHO) is that
a) it’s very long and the time constraints are tighter than usual, and
b) the test writers have a knack for taking a very simple principle and constructing a very confusing problem out of it.
The only way you can prepare for such a thing is with practice. Hone your speed, and get familiar with how they’re going to try to trick you. It’s not even that hard to get a very high score. You don’t have to smart – and smart people won’t necessarily do extremely well. What you need to do is practice, practice, practice.
I have a rare strain of RFDOS. It’s called RPDOS (Repetitive Pantry Door Opening Syndrome).
Nobody else wants to play? Pretty please with a cherry on top? 🙁
Here’s it so far:
Once there was a feministic Brit that wore techeiles because she was very weird. She wanted everyone to know that she was wearing techeiles, so she dyed her entire outfit blue. By mistake some of the blue dye got on her hands. This made her really embarrassed so she bought elbow-length evening gloves and wore them all the time, which added a lot to her weirdness. Not only did people think she was weird, but the agents at the Yard thought it very suspicious…
The original name for Canada, dreamed up by a parliamentary committee in London, was “Cold North Dominion,” but that waas too long, so they abbreviated it C.N.D. The King’s Royal Governor presented the new name to the inhabitants, and they didn’t say a word. Just looked at him.
“Well, what do you think?” asked the Royal Governor?
“C., eh?” said the first fellow, and just looked at the Governor.
“N., eh?” says the second guy.
“D., eh?” says a third one. Then silence.
“Hey,” says the Governor. “I like that. It’s a heck of a lot easier to pronounce when you spell it that way.”
So that’s how Canada got its name.
My father calls it the NMSQT. <– *helium voice* 😀

Hey! Welcome back, cindy!
C’mon, you’re long overdue for a troll thread anyhow… 🙂
*sheepish* We can start it over again, if you want…

Well, I don’t think anyone in this thread took the PSAT when it was out of 1600, so you’re going to have to adjust for it somehow.
I never took the PSAT. My regular SAT scores are higher – you can compare those if you just take off the Writing score.
Well, it used to be out of 1600 like the old SAT. They switched it to 240 when they introduced the Writing section to the PSAT. So it’s possible that you remembered correctly.
Highest PSAT score is 240, dude. But I scored higher than you anyway. May I please have a troll thread about people who are obsessed with their standardized test scores? Or one about llamas. Thanks.
Okay, FINE then…YOU get to start a new one. And no blowing it up. And it has to be funny.
Argh! You are all such poo-poo heads!
Right…
Nothing (inherently).
What does THAT mean?
Which was a really bad move, since now there was no one to change his braces. So his teeth all eventually fell out, but since they were all wired together, he couldn’t get them out of his mouth. Also, he got thrown in prison for life.
