popa_bar_abbaParticipant
I used to say wanted to go back and find out who was the Shabbos Ima when I was Shabbos Abba, and marry her.
If everyone would marry people from their preschool class, it would solve the age gap problem.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAishes:
Why is that a nice story? All I see are domineering parents and kid with no spine.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantCshapiro:
What is your agenda here? You act as if I once insulted you.
Just spit it out already.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAnd here are some heterophones:
computer- telphone
car- quickly
vicarious- generic
table- incomplete
composting- incandescent
popa_bar_abbaParticipantpostsem:
I don’t know why he became flustered. I do what “they” tell me to do if it trust “them”. People who I trust told me to open the door for the girl when I started dating.
Now, it happens that it also makes sense to me, but I would listen to people I trusted even if I didn’t understand it, especially if there was no harm in it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantCharlie: I know, we discussed it about a month ago.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAvodas Hashem- Not judge-able.
Shidduch prospects- sounds like a frummed out MO guy back from OJ.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI met my best friend when I was three, so there is no reason you can’t meet your spouse at that age.
Also, Rivka got married when she was three.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow many homophones does it take to change a lightbulb?
December 22, 2010 2:49 am at 2:49 am in reply to: Democratic Party and the Communist Party USA #719988popa_bar_abbaParticipantWell, Rahm Emmanuel was asked at his residence hearing whether he had ever been a member of the communist party.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSpeaking of giving blood, I was giving blood to bikur cholim last year, and they had these pill shaped stress balls for you to squeeze.
Some of the first people had convinced them to give them the stress “pill”. But they had stopped giving them after a few hours.
I decided I was getting a “pill”. I went and I got one. It took every bit of haggling and negotiating and begging, but I got one.
I threw it out; what would I do with it anyway?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPeople learn from their parents how to have a relationship. If they never see any warmth, they will not know how to do it themselves.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIf you can’t make it on a barbecue or in a deep fryer, it’s not worth making.
December 21, 2010 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719488popa_bar_abbaParticipantVery cute. Now change it.

Can you please change your screenname? There is something odd and wrong about predicting the downfall of the country we live in and owe a lot to.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t think it is laziness. It is a style.
They do it to look like the others.
December 21, 2010 4:46 pm at 4:46 pm in reply to: Finding girls Shiduchim should be attended to as seriously as Kiruv #720451popa_bar_abbaParticipantFrum guys (who seem way to choosy)
Is that really how it works? You make it seem as if most dating experiences end with the boy saying no for some odd reason, and moving on to the next one.
I have never heard such a claim that boys say no more often than girls. Is it true?
December 21, 2010 3:56 pm at 3:56 pm in reply to: The classics, Yidden, and the recent closed thread #719343popa_bar_abbaParticipantMsseeker: You really are a bigot. It is unbelievable. All are chassidim like this or only the rebels who hang out online.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI agree with Benaishek.
Blaming it on the distant past is an easy out so we don’t need to think it has anything to do with us.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantTMB: That is quite right.
December 21, 2010 4:06 am at 4:06 am in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719469popa_bar_abbaParticipantTMB:
The only attacks on the chassidish system were it’s results and only in response to a suggestion that we adopt it- not the motivations. Therein lies the difference.
What was beyond the pale of discussion were the attacks on the motivation behind our system, which has been endorsed by our gedolim.
Your postscript is precisely my point. I will not repeat the criticisms of the vilna gaon, nor the criticisms the rishonim made of the Rambam.
You should have a little respect also.
December 21, 2010 2:32 am at 2:32 am in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719461popa_bar_abbaParticipantMsseeker and smartcookie:
What you are doing is very wrong. This goes beyond debating the efficacy of different customs. Your attacks on our way of life are condescending at best.
There are many things I could criticize about your way of life, and many of them would be straight from the words of the gedolei acharonim.
Yet, our worlds seem to have called a truce, and we have decided to respect each other’s avodas hashem. It behooves you to keep the peace.
December 21, 2010 12:04 am at 12:04 am in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719453popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t know what you mean by “extreme”.
Maybe you can elaborate.
December 20, 2010 11:02 pm at 11:02 pm in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719449popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow is dating extreme?
It is practiced differently in different circles, but in yeshivish circles, they generally go on about 8 dates before getting engaged. What is so extreme?
popa_bar_abbaParticipant< em> text < /em> but without the spaces between the < and the em>
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYes, this story is too violent for my taste. Nonviolently killed meat tastes much better.
December 20, 2010 10:27 pm at 10:27 pm in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719446popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe best response to this idea, was posted several months ago, and is too long to repost. It was in response to the suggestion that the guys date at 18.

popa_bar_abbaParticipantMod 80: can we please demorbidify the play?
Ida: A man is killed and you call it play? (looks, then shrieks) It’s moving! Julius, quick, stab it again!

December 20, 2010 9:51 pm at 9:51 pm in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719438popa_bar_abbaParticipantAnyone with normal brains, will feel some emotional connection to their chosson/Kallah, even if they only have 2 Bashows.
I don’t believe that. We may have different definitions on what an emotional connection is.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantconfused
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI “like” mikehall12382

Another cannibalism thread!
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPopa: Pulls out knife (and fork?)…
December 20, 2010 8:25 pm at 8:25 pm in reply to: Maybe I Should Compensate The Store Owner…? #727138popa_bar_abbaParticipantronsr: That is a good idea. On that note, you can probably negotiate with the fire insurance company for them to pay you to not burn it down.
Then, you can burn it down anyway. You get money, the owner gets money, the forensics people get business, the defense lawyers get business, the prosecutor gets airtime, everyone is happy.
Should we really let the insurance company’s selfish interest get in the way of so many people’s happiness?
December 20, 2010 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm in reply to: Maybe I Should Compensate The Store Owner…? #727136popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou could call the fire department and warn them not to go inside because there is a fire.
Wolf: I don’t really think you should burn it down. But neither do I think you should let yourself feel guilty for doing the right thing.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMrs. Gelberger shows her bloodstained sheitel to the incredulous doctor.
Doctor: I fix people, not sheitels!
December 20, 2010 8:11 pm at 8:11 pm in reply to: The classics, Yidden, and the recent closed thread #719328popa_bar_abbaParticipantAgreed.
And while I can’t say I had it that thought out when I posted, I was intending that if we are willing to impose policies on people in the name of solving the crisis, we may as well just kill a few and solve it that way.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWe may disagree on which were the stupid posts.
December 20, 2010 7:54 pm at 7:54 pm in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719417popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe maturity gap? Well, we could teach girls to be immature.
I was actually working on my own immaturity earlier, but mod 29 didn’t like it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThey shoot at him and also miss?
December 20, 2010 7:47 pm at 7:47 pm in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719415popa_bar_abbaParticipantI thought I had a really good idea, but I can’t remember it right now.
December 20, 2010 7:44 pm at 7:44 pm in reply to: Maybe I Should Compensate The Store Owner…? #727133popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhy, who are you stealing from?
The owner will be reimbursed, and the insurance company was contemplating this exact risk when they wrote the policy.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDun & Bradstreet.
I never went there on a date, and apparently I was correct not to.
December 20, 2010 7:20 pm at 7:20 pm in reply to: A Radical Solution to the Shidduch Crisis? #719409popa_bar_abbaParticipantreally inexcusable bad taste
I wouldn’t know what it tastes like. You seem to have experience though- enlighten us.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOf course the divorce papers have facebook on them. That is how people communicate today.
50 years ago they had telephone on them, before that they had pony express, and before that they had juliet on the balcony.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou can’t revive the dead; beginning again is not going to raise make the sheitel clean again.
