s2021, like whatrutalkingabt, they last longer and are more comfortable!!!
I am making about 12 IY”H, with the theme that I am dressing up my little children.
How is his new store doing? It’s not your business…
WolfishMusings, I believe the stereotype comes because chasidish/yeshivish couples dont display effection in public. So pple think it is not there. Believe me, by the time such couples get behind closed doors, they are so excited to do what they cant just do 24 hours a day that there is something REALLY special about it. Secrets are special.
My mother never kissed my father in public, nor did I see love notes, (which now that I am married I am sure there were plenty of) but I KNEW they loved eachother. You felt it in mundane conversation, they NEVER argued in public, they respect eachothers opinion, my mother wakes up early to make my fathers favorite dishes, my father helps out a lot at home etc. all these little things mean a lot more to kids than seeing a love note. Actions speak LOUDER than words (and love notes, even if they are across your whole kitchen).
Wolf, I am sure you have both, you sound like a truly caring husaband, so this is not an arguement towards you, I am just speaking generally about my opinion of public personal relationships.
Wolf,
A) WOuld u hang your bank statements on the kitchen wall and when someone walks in say – “I didnt have u in mind at the time.”? Why is it not enough for you are your wife to cover your bedroom walls with love notes. I assume your kids are allowed in your bedroom so they would see it there. WHy does your love and relationship have to hang all over your kitchen.
B) Athletes and actors perform their talents in public for benifit of others. They entertain. Are you putting out love notes as a source of entertainment for your neighbors and friends?
Just to end off, your relationship with your spouse, which is hopefully as beautiful as you make it sound, is the biggest treasure in the world. Love notes in the open, and openly speaking about personal relationships is CHEAP. Your wife, yourself and the bond btwn you, deserve better.
mosherose, I agree. Why do I have to go to someone’s home and see an “I LOVE U” note on the fridge. Personal spouse relationships are private. The more pple openly feel the need to have to display their notes and openly talk about the love btwn them and their spouse, the less confident and the less they probably love eachother.
If you are confident with your relationship you dont need to convince others.
Yumi Lowy for me. He actually sang at part of my wedding.
Bobover rebbe’s son married his first cousin. You have to understand that by the chassidim there is no chit chat boys and girls even cousins. So it’s not so wierd. They dont know eachother. It’s not like cousins get together for chanukah parties and have male and female shmoozes. ALL simchas and get togethers have mechitzas.
Tatty and Mommy.
How about clothing manufacturers?
Understand, I am not disputing that it is a good carriage, I am enjoying it. For walking Bugaboo has a very smooth ride, to me that is MOST important. It also reclines all the way, while uppababy recline is not very low when your 2 yr. old is sleeping. When I got the carriage I also said Bugaboo is just a name and I am not going to fall for it. (the sponser of my carriage didnt care about $$)
I dont believe Bugaboo is just a name brand.
aries2756, I HAVE THE UPPABABY. When I was getting a carriage I was debating between the Bugaboo and Uppababy. I was told they are just about the same and the Uppababy was a lot cheaper. Now that I am a bit more experienced, I can tell you the the bugaboo has a MUCH smoother ride and is fells lighter when you wheel it. It is ideal if you do not have a car and do a lot of walking.
YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET! For me it would have been worth spending more and getting the Bugaboo.
If you have a car and do less walking then city mini should do the trick.
Huvi, a big basket is nice, and I enjoy it, but It’s not the main thing. The main thing is a very smooth ride. (specially since we dont have a car and walk mostly everywhere)
Don’t worry, I do not believe that Eclipse left. She is probably just starting again with a diff user name.
Many times there are external factors that give a person an intense feeling to want to get married.
1) friends are getting married and having babies
2) maried friends talk about their married life
3) You just had your married siblings over for shabbos andupon observing them you feel like you also want to be married
I didnt get married very young, the things listed above are true experiences that gave me an extra itch here and there.
This is one thing that is cheap in Eretz Yisroel. Babysitters range from 15-20 shekel an hour. (About $4-$6). Since the teenagers finish school at 1:00 they are bored. Their parents WANT them to babysit to make money and to do something constructive with their afternoon/ evening.
If you go to Shefa in teh afternoon it is loaded with babysitters!
1/2 C – 3/4 C of sugar. Water to cover half the loaf when submerged.
I cook gefilte fish.
Just wondering is there anyone here that makes their own gefilte fish loaf?
Hashem implants a strong desire in every person to want to get married. If someone does NOT want to get married than there must be something wrong with them cuz its naturally implanted into every person.
happiest, just think, I AM NORMAL – its a normal feeling.
i also enjoyed the article, it was very sensitive.
40 shekel an hour
I make this with roast. I cook it first until it’s almost done, then take it to my putcher to slice.
sautee and onion.
1/2 C Ketchup
3/4 C brown sugar
3/4 cup water
1 fresh garlic
Cook until it bubbles. Add meat slices and let them cook together for 1 – 1 1/2 hours. The taste is excellent!
I would say to help others, Dont talk about your husband to other pple. ( We know he is so special) Like, “my husband wakes up for the baby at night so I can sleep, or my husband always … you can create a bad feeling in the other’s mind, “Hey, why doesnt my husband do that?”
mytake, I assume most pple are happily married, thats why u dont hear stories
cb1 – uch that doesnt make me feel too good
bpt, I think it has nothing to do with $$$. BP is becoming more and more chasidish, due to the litvish crowd moving to lkwd, monsey etc. Each Chasidus has its own school. Bobov, Bais Brocha etc. For those that are chasidish but dont belong to a specific chasidus, you have Bais Sura, Tomer Devora, Gan Yisroel. A communal school like BYBP now belongs in Lakewood. (just like it started in Williamsburg, but lost its place there so moved to BP, the BP era for a BY type school is just about over…)
I heard they already got a replacement for him…
Nope.
Count till a thousand, if you get there and you’re still up, then u have a problem…
A Jewish man buys a fabulous home in Beverly Hills, California. He brings in a local workman to decorate the place. When the job is finished, the homeowner is delighted but realizes that he’s forgotten to put mezuzahs on the doors.
He goes out and buys 50 mezuzahs (mezuzot!) and asks the decorator to place them on the right hand side of each door except bathrooms.
He’s really worried that the decorator will chip the paint work or won’t put them up correctly. However, when he comes back a
few hours later, he sees that the job has been carried out to his entire satisfaction. He’s so pleased that he gives the decorator a bonus.
As the decorator is walking out of the door he says, “Glad you’re happy with the job.” “By the way, I took out all the warranties from the little boxes and left them on your table.
Too much speaking and spending time together during the engagement
Sometimes you are POSITIVE you know whats going on.
Grocery shopping with kids.
Misunderstandings
Goofy dating stories.
Husband – wife scenerios
In general everyday life bloopers that pple can relate to.
A family was traveling on a trip and their little daughter kept asking, “How much longer… are we almost there” etc… Finally getting fed up and impatient the mother tells her daughter. “Don’t ask these questions anymore, we will not be there until dark.” After a few minutes the daughter turns to her Mom and says, “Is it almost dark?”
i meant BIG pony
I dont think all women need to shave their heads, but i find it horrible when women wear snoods and they have a bid pony petruding!
My son is about 2 years old, when he gets a bath at night, it’s after a long day of playing, running, you name it. I dont feel comfortable putting another child in that water. It is a time saver, but if your 28 month old is active and gets dirty or goes to playgroup, I wouldn’t suggest it.
mewho, My husband and I have phones which do not have text nor internet just talk.
What can I dress up boys as. Matching.
always here, I knew your niece, she was in my grade. A wonderful girl. May her memory be blessed and may your family always have simchos and nachas.
Who are you gonna get for the audience? All bored pple are already in the cast.
this is a sucha general question how do u want pple to answer!!!
I live in Israel do you want a phone number of a good photographer here? WHo are you taking pictures of, professional portraits of your 2 yr old? Bar Mitzvah? Wedding?
cutie pie, I heard of them, they are fantastic! They have amazing video guys also.
popa, you gave me a good laugh.
My husband sets him clock 10 minutes fast. When you are in a rush you forget that the clock is not the right time. It works for him…
Seudas Mitzvah
oomis1105, there are challenges that Kollel wives experience, but NOT that the men are less available. Men have a very set seder while they are learning. They get home the same time every day. They leave the same time every day. Whereas men that are working can come home very late depending on the season, often go on business trips, and can also be very tense and stressed out from the pressure.
I am not encouraging one over the other, just pointing out where men are more or less available.
I do not believe that pple get divorced bec they are lazy to work things out. No one wants to be divorced. I do believe – YOU NEVER EVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS! Period. You will never really know the reason your neighbor, cousin, friend got divorced. Therefore, you can never judge.
How about spouse? Does that belong to this list?
1) Aj Madison in BP for ordering appliances. They are so helpful and very well priced…
2) 16th Ave. Variety
3) Eichlers Judaica in BP
Shadchanim. My shidduch was redt and carried through by a shadchan.
I know of a guy that took his date to a car wash. And at the end, the car wash guy held up a towel that said, “Will you marry me.”
Maybe bec it is not done in my circles, it seems childish to me. Marriage is a serious thing, not a contest of who can come up with the most creative way of breaking it out! IMO, save your creativity for your first anniversary, at that time, make the wackiest, most romantic, funfilled shtick, that you can treaure as a married couple.
smartcookie, you dont have to wear a shpitzel to know what its about.
Sorry to all those “grammarians”!
