    I can totally imagine police being afraid to tackle black criminals. These riots are totally ridiculous!

    I forgot to mention, dont ignore your single friend.

    Call her when ur husband goes out to daven to learn or to work.

    I should hope it’s understood that your marriage takes priority.

    I hate to sound cliche’ but I blame this wife/friend conflict on technology.

    When I got married I barely had a cell phone.

    There was no such thing as my friends texting me the morning after i got married, nor did I whatapp pictures of my gourmet cooking skills.

    If friends tried my landline and there was no answer, it could have meant I wasnt home, napping or the ringer was off.

    We are so attached to our phones that if you dont answer on the first ring, pple feel ignored.

    Sollution: Shana Rishona – keep your cell phone in ur coat pocket, hung up in the closet while you are spending time with your husband. This should be a rule that pple know. If its an emergency, thats what the landline is for.

    Dont know where you get your facts from.

    My family gets together, e/o babysits their own children.

    We all come to my mothers kitchen before pesach to help cook and bake while the children are in school.

    We are not an exception as I know other families that do the same.

    Since we all have KH large families, Pesach is the one time of year where we get togther and the cousins get to know eachother.

    I am looking forward to being a part of the noise, the mess, and the cleanup.

    for sure works. I was in shoprite for a pharmacy item and while I was checking out I noticed apple chips by gefen that I had just seen advertised, decided to try it.

    I cant imagine I wouldve noticed it if not for the ad

    barf? why.

    Who cares if they make a small bottle.

    Who says wine cant be cute? anyways, Who exactly cares how they market it?

    If you like the size buy it, if you dont leave it for someone else.

    I dont get ur reaction.

    I heard the blue Bartenura’le goes over very well with non jews as well.

    SOmetimes itss more tacky to give that than to give a big bottle of wine.

    I think the Bartenura’le is very cute, inexpensive and great idea.

    Joseph, you suggest “not-rich oilem can expand into a non-Jewish Brooklyn neighborhood until there’s a critical mass of frumkeit.”

    The problem is Brooklyn is an expensive place to live in jewish or not.

    Also, there isnt much availablity at all, even outside of the shmaltz neighborhoods.

    This is actually a chessed.

    Some people don’t want to take things for free, they feel good paying $75. They feel like they are contributing even though they clearly know that a dining room table costs a lot more than that!!

    Midwood Yid, you are allowed one personal item such as a rolling suitcase, purse or laptop bag. Depends on who checks you in determines if they weigh it or not.

    RebYidd23, a carry on can be upto 10 or 12 pounds. If its more they will make you check it in. If u already have a checked in bag you will have t pay. Sometimes these rolling carry ons are so heavy that they take up most of the allowed weight.

    A pizza shop is a very informal place for a first date.

    There are beautiful, quiet hotel lounges that are perfect for a first date.

    How about a museum or aquarium.

    The OP never mentioned the word abusive.

    I didnt get the impression that we are talking about an extreme situation.

    If this is an extreme abusive situation then I would suggest a qualified professional.

    Its no big deal to respect someone that you think is amazing. its shows a lot about a persons Middos to be able to respect someone that you have to even if they dont seem to deserve it.

    good luck

    For my childrens teachers, whom I also really appreciate, I am planning to give a gift certificate.

    I want them to be able to buy something they want.

    I feel like money is not personal enough, but a gift is too personal.

    I think more important than the Mishloach Manos is a nice card.

    be good, do singles live alone? I was under the assumption that singles live either with their families or with a roommate.

    If some singles do live totally alone, I really sympathize, it must feel very lonely and depressing.

    Gamanit I totally agree with you. If someone complains they have a headache, I won’t tell him “who cares I have a migraine”

    You give each person advice based on their situation.

    RebYidd23, if time is the issue, you don’t have to go to the gym every day.

    My husband goes twice a week. One of those days is sunday which is a day off for him. Yes, tthe second day, he comes home from work, his gym bag is ready, he goes to the gym for an hour, hour and a half, comes home eats supper. He’s home for about half hour before he goes out to learn.

    So that is bit more rushed. But it’s preserving ones health.

    My husband admits that since he started gym he’s more agile.

    I’d rather eat cake then do the gym but you gotta do what u gotta do.

    RebYidd23, money is usually an excuse. It makes perfect sense. Membership to the gym is an extra expense. So if someone says they dont go bec they cant afford it, well that makes sense.

    There are ways to do exercise without costing a penny. But u have to be very determined and committed.

    When people say “It’s not the money, ……..”

    In those cases, it usually is the money. And its not unsual to be tight on money.

    Comlink-X, funny you say that, I feel that way about videos.

    I really enjoy videos and can watch good ones for hours.

    Seeing how addictive it was with me. I keep away from it completely and I dont want to get my kids started.

    U always have the option of personal trainer coming to ur home, though its more pricey.

    One of the trainers of Better Health Studios does home stops as early as 6:30 am, though my husband prefers going to the gym (to save $$$) and bec he does machines also.

    The areas I mentioned are the ones I know about, I am sure there are more that I dont know about.

    So you can always find an excuse, but really there are no excuses.

    There’s an all mens frum gym called Better Health Studios in boro park.

    They have trainers and machines.

    Thats the one my husband goes to.

    Not familiar with Yeled V’yaldas gym though I know they have a great pool.

    Lakewood has a great gym in Shoprite plaza with mens hours. I have relative who goes there every week without fail.

    Theres no lack for Kosher Vyosher gyms, maybe some have a lack of interest 😉

    hodulashem, I totally understand you, and believe me I did have something in mind when I asked for a resume. The idea I had in mind is not shayach, but I am desp trying to find someone else for this teacher. Before I get back to her, and make us both feel uncomfortable, I want to see if I can get something going.

    Be Good, Let’s say (this has happened to me) I have in mind a certain boy for a girl. I ask her for her resume and some details. When I get her resume I see that its not the greatest idea after all.

    Now does she think I was intrusive for nothing? It wasnt for nothing, but I dont want to read shidduchim that I dont think are suitable.

    I really have an idea in mind. I asked her to e-mail her resume to me, but she didn’t as of yet. Did I cross my boundaries?

    I was not trying to pry I really have an idea in mind. This teacher made a very nice impression on me and I would love to help her with a shidduch.

    Washer dryer combo is a very popular appliance. The LG is the best one around. It is available in 24 and 27 inch.

    The one thing to know is that drying time takes long.

    If you are ok with doing only one or two loads a day then start the load in the morning and let the machine run.

    These are definitely, very popular for pple that live in small apartments.
