WolfishMusings, WOAH, why are you so defensive.
We make a Milichig Kiddush and then have a fleishig meal afterwards.
my husband told me dorm stories that really had me laughing.
Call Frigidaire.
gavra_at_work, LOL!!!
Pple get worked up when you tell them something and they have a guilty consience cuz they do that thing. Even if you didnt mean the comment to them, they begin to vent and you are left wondering what you said wrong!!!
Why dont you speak to a professional. Go into AJ Madison or the Buzz and ask their AC Specialist. They have experience with ACs and they would know shabbos modes etc…
Those that shave are more careful not to be without a head covering for even a second. I was at the sheitel macher plenty of times, where women prance around in their hair while looking for their sheitels, or those that ever so casually switch from one to the next.
It is a hard step and a big step. But not an impossible one if you are always careful to keep your head covered, which you should be doing anyways.
tunabeigel123, dont feel bad for them or their husbands. They are used to it. Just like secular pple say “I cant imagine how married women cover their hair! They take their beautiful natural hair and always cover it, in the heat etc…”
When u r used to something it is normal for you.
Many pple have seen tremendous yeshuos from shaving their hair.
napkin rings
popa_bar_abba, here’s the problem I have with this thread:
All of us in the coffee room come from such diverse backgrounds. SOme pple ask “How much should kids tell parents”
Some ask “How much should parents tell kids”
We will never come to an agreement because of the completely diff circles.
When I was in shidduchim, my parents took care of the main legwork. Thats how its done in my circles.
Most others here probably inform their parents once things are getting serious – Hey Ma, I would like you to meet my future wife….
People with Yichus look for a spouse with Yichus. my husband once told me that unless you have Yichus, you cant understand why someone else finds it so important.
I know someone who officially puts her kids to sleep on the floor while flying. I wonder if she is aware how unsafe this is.
tough one!
SGold, those are top names. SOme of them give youa cut if you bought the wig there. So find out first.
“You want to marry the right one, not just any one! “
Not everyone marries Mr. Right. Not everyone gets married witrh stars in their eyes. I think that is what Mod 80 meant. I don’t think he meant “Lady, marry anyone as long as he wears pants.”
I bought medicine that said – “Do not take in the dark, be sure you take only a proper dosage,” – for the funniest part,- “If you need glasses use them!”
Straight skirts that are “in” now are especially problematic when they are short/ just covering the knee. There is no way they will cover when you are sitting, walking up steps etc. YES, the shorter the cuter/nicer/trendier. I AGREE. Well, therein lies the Nisayon.
If I would pass a sign talking about men shaving or not, I would not care, it doesnt apply to me. If you care it means its touching you somewhere deep inside. Don’t try to brush it off.
If you think 4 inches is ridiculous, you shouldnt care.
If you find the signs offensive or hurtful it shows that you have a guilty conscience towards this subject. That is good. When I pass a sign that doesn’t relate to me, I dont care what it says.
AS a girl in High School I was very meticulous to wear my skirts 4 inches below my knee. I would measure with a measuring tape each time I got a new skirt. When I sat there was no way my knees showed. Since I got married, I am a bit more lax. When I get into a car sometimes my skirt will left up etc. YES, when I passed that sign on 13th and 50th street, it hurt. The sign spoke to me. I felt guilty. It was a reminder.
i had a bagel and a pizza on Motzei pesach. How does that rate me?
It makes sense for grandparents to be diff. since especially after the war were pple married cousins, pple from their hometown, shidduchim were really limited. PLUS our grandparents endured any pain. Anyone knows of a 70 yr old divorced man or woman? Not nearly as coomon as it is today.
Back on track, there are a lot of shidduchim that happen that I think I wouldnt have paired those two up. Who says husband and wife need to be exactly alike?
Mama’s and Papas, is a Europan stroller I see a lot of pple in EY with it. It’s very nice, have no idea what its priced.
I have the Uppababy, got it as gift. Pretty happy with it.
I hope my story can make some of u feel better.
I was also in shidduchim for a long time. I didnt meet too many boys and the ones I met I dated for a while, looked promising and then nothing. It was very hard. I used to work crazy long hours to get my mind off of shidduchim.
Pesach was coming up and I knew that it’ a major time for dating since the boys come home from EY, but I didnt have a single date, not before pesach and not chol hamoed.
A couple of days After Pesach I went to a shiur, and the speaker was talking to me. She spoke about Nisyonos and the light in every challenge. i left the shiur so inspired and with so much emunah. When I got home, my parents were sitting on the couch. They told me that new name had been mentioned (NEW NAME?!?! that exists?) The boy was going back to EY, so we had to find out fast.
To make a long story short, B”H we got engaged! I was his first girl. Like the rest of the stories here, I had to wait for him.
Boy am I glad I did!!
I dont have a car and end up taking car services pretty often. My sister was trying to convince me that although its not as convenient, as many car services as I will take, it will still be cheaper than owning a car. When I hear these mechanic stories, I start to believe her.
I always wonder why posters announce that they are planning to leave or not to post for a given time. Why not just do what u have to? If you dont have time to post, or find it a waste of time, then stop. Why the announcement? Do you want convincing to stay? If yes, then Eclipse, I really enjoy your good humor, your spirit and spunk, your reaction and acceptance of the challenges life has brought you. Many times when there are tons of posts on a topic I just scroll down, and when I see ur name I stop to read what u worte. U will be missed!!!!
gavra_at_work, I also believe its an attitude,many parents see it as a zechus to supprot children in learning for a few years especially if the fathers are too busy to learn a lot themselves.
Most young couples will admit that the beg years when the husband was learning was the foudation of their home and their marriage.
I also loved it. I didnt like the guy wth the long hair. Why did he have to be a part? But I dont mean to complian, I watch it more than once and enjoyed it thoroughly!!!! Well done!!
An 18 month old that fell into a well and was there for about 2 days. This story came up when the Chili minors were rescued. Simlar idea. When they got her out she was in pretty good shape.
That is the story in a nutshell.
I am getting ready to travel in about 10 days from EY to NY!! On the one hand I am very excited, but also nervous for the jetlag!!! Not just me but my little ones too!!!
Any plane tips and jetlag advice would be appreciated!!
They actually sell very up to date, expensive, but retro looking refrigerators.
Some of the ads look so amazing!! I would love to go. But for MANY reasons cannot. For those that could afford and do go, have fun!!
I agree with Mother in Israel. If your daughter is so small why couldnt she sit on YOUR lap. I am sure she wouldve loved that, how often does a 10 yr old get to sit on Mommy’s lap. There is a certain respect you need to have for older pple even if they are wrong. What is the lesson you taught your daughter by putting her on a strangers lap against that persons will?
I was once by a wedding and there were not enough places for the women to sit. So the a family memeber sat a bunch of women by the kid’s table since the kids were running around anyways. Along came an 8 yr old girl that wanted her seat and one for her sister she started crying and asking ladies to get up. The mother came to the table and made all the ladies get up for the kids. She said its not fair to the kids not to have seats by the wedding. I thought it was wrong of the mother. You teach your kids that adults sit first. SHe can pull over a chair next to herself and have her kids sit by her table. IMHO.
the cutest will be if u marrry eachother. You will look back and say, “We never thought of eachother, but through our conversations….”
SJSinNYC, I love that answer!!!! I can almost picture what u look like based on the your diff posts.
Grandmaster, I find this so intresting. I would have thought it is so much more worth it to own if you can. I am in a rented apt and every time it comes to paying rent and we scrape together the money, my husband and I wonder why we dont own and pay towards a mortgage. B”H the apt we are in needed almost no maintenance since we moved in.
Shrek, that is funny. I like the part with the losing 50 pounds!!
How about Tirtsa? She becomes world’s most popular party planner and rakes it in!
A waiter brings a portion of soup to the table and teh customer screams, “Hey, there’s a bug in that soup!!!!”
Waiter: “Do I look like a lifeguard?”
I know of someone, a real cycle lover, that built his own motor bike. He’s a wiz at figuring out tech, so he took a bike and added a motor and it drives like a tus-tus.
I got my husbang a table shtender, it was a great present! If your husband learns lot, its a very useful gift. I dont think its too big to take back once u leave EY. Here are some ideas: a siddur with his name on it, an expensive pen, a brand name watch, a new challah cover or challah board, a leather chair.
At this point my husband would enjoy going out to eat to an expensive restaurant for dinner. That we will save for our anniversary which is coming up soon IY”H!!
onegoal – Super!
These puns are amazing!
I LOVE SUSHI!!!! Sorry for me in Israel it is so expensive! Only sold in restaurants, not in every other grocery like in Brooklyn for $3.75 a veg. roll!!
I enjoy PB on rice cakes. I find it filling and delicious!
Purim came out on a Thursday the year that I got married. I got married teh week after Purim. So we sent Misloach Manos/Chassan ufruf package combined. Sort of like a “Chosson Domeh L’melech”. With crowns, pretty chocolates and a tallis. We had Hostess International in BP put it all together. They did a beautiful job!
In Lkwd you can get a jar in Circa. There is nothing like the store baught!!
Eretz Yisroel
rebbitzen, was he lookin for a maid or wife. LOL!
I love flowers, our vase just broke. so until i get out and get another one, no flowers for me!
I like pun thread, jokes, funny things kids said, good forwards..
