I can totally imagine police being afraid to tackle black criminals. These riots are totally ridiculous!
PosterMemberI 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.
PosterMemberI 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.
PosterMemberDont 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.
PosterMemberfor 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
PosterMemberbarf? 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.
PosterMemberDue to the harsh winter I suspect less mosquitoes.
PosterMemberI 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.
PosterMemberWOW.
Will she be taken to trial?
How is this being dealt with?
PosterMemberJoseph, 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.
PosterMemberKFB,
how did they find out?
What is hillary saying, why did she do that?

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!!
PosterMemberMidwood 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.
PosterMemberA 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.
February 16, 2015 4:31 pm at 4:31 pm in reply to: How and why should I respect a parent that doesn't deserve respect? #1061091PosterMemberThe 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.
February 16, 2015 12:06 am at 12:06 am in reply to: How and why should I respect a parent that doesn't deserve respect? #1061087PosterMemberIts 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
PosterMemberFor 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.
PosterMemberWe have a Purim tape playing for the passed three weeks. I feel like its been Adar already!!!
PosterMemberHAHA What a funny thought.
I agree with balancehumanbalance.
PosterMemberLior, we used to go there in my camp days for sweet rolls and onion pockets
February 11, 2015 12:22 am at 12:22 am in reply to: Is Brooklyn becoming a retirement town? #1063561PosterMemberzahavasdad, maybe bec Brooklyns close proximity to Manhattan.
PosterMembercoffee addict, they learn to appreciate their wives that do all that all of the time!
PosterMemberbe 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.
PosterMemberLior, I keep thinking that it would be so nice if Boro Park meets Bensenhurst with all frum families in btwn. Sad reality is the ones in btwn arent interested in moving
PosterMemberI would say telegram was more kosher, you dont have these sick video clips made by bored pple being passed around.
PosterMemberi once heard of a penut butter and chocolate mixture, like an ice cream mousse type of thing. Any ideas in that direction?
PosterMemberRebYidd23, 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.
PosterMemberRebYidd23, 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.
PosterMemberComlink-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.
PosterMemberU 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.
PosterMembervaseline has a special lip balm. Works like a charm for me.
PosterMemberI downloaded an adorable educational computer game for my son. He loved it. I sat watching my 5 year old maneuvering the mouse, it just didnt seem right.
I understand we are living in the year 2015 but I just want to shelter the kids as long as I can.
WOndering if a/o understands this.
PosterMemberI was in Amazing SAvings in Boro Park yesterday, they have all their purim boxes out already
PosterMemberThere is a great one on Ezras Torah in a building. I used to go there all the time when I lived in EY. They have all the new books as well as old ones and copies of Bina, Mishpacha and Ami Magazines.
For more details check The Newcomers Guide
PosterMemberThere’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 😉
PosterMemberFlatbusher- Male only frum gym in Boro Park
PosterMemberhodulashem, 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.
PosterMemberBe 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.
PosterMemberpopa_bar_abba, weight is something u can’t hide!
PosterMemberbe good, I totally hear all your points and feel so bad now.
I always feel like when I try reading shidduchim somehow or another unless the couple gets engaged someone is hurt.
It almost makes me not want to try!
PosterMemberI 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.
PosterMemberpopa_bar_abba, I am so embarrassed! Is it inappropriate to read her a shidduch?
PosterMemberRebYidd23, why not?
I am a woman and I have no problem whatsoever if someone asks me for my age.
PosterMemberwow, amazing.
PosterMemberMy husband goes to the gym twice a week. A frum only male gym that he says is full.
So maybe some people take their health for granted, but not all.
PosterMemberWasher 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.
PosterMemberGift certificate to where?
Perfume is very personal, I dont know what scent she would like.
anything else?
The Goq, I apologize if the title is misleading, I was not trying to mislead you or WOlf for that matter.
