oh, and keep those smiles coming!!! 🙂
yserbius- i ain’t a teen. Maybe ‘she’ was very overweight, did diet, lost 30 lb and is STILL overweight, so you assume she hasn’t tried. Maybe she has a health issue that causes either weight gain or difficulty losing weight. Maybe she was morbidly obese and now is down 150 lb and you’d never know, but label her lacking self-control. Maybe we really can’t judge others, or what they have tried, succeeded in, or failed in, behind closed doors.
Gamanit- i SERIOUSLY hope size 10 at 5’6 isnt considered overweight! And thankfully haven’t encountered anyone who thought so yet irl.
frummy- no i hadn’t, but i wouldn’t call it a joke either! 🙂
i’m sorry about pesach blow-ups :(.
And so happy to hear about your brother! Hatzlocha raba with that rabbi!
hello to the doctor on his yearly show
he comes and just as soon he’ll go
but welcome back
from the cr pack
we regret it will be such a short time, though
depending on where the OP lives, can’t there be a problem of additives that may be kitniyos?
i’d assume away for the passover holidays, like many other posters
what he said 🙂
yserbius- your mother-in-law is wrong. And not everyone can or will lose weight the same way. Another person may go on your father’s diet and not lose anything. Maybe your father was eating excessively before and these girls arent. Many girls ARE trying to lose weight but its not so simple or easy for most.
Gefen – buy a bunch of Barbie Dolls and give them out to these amazing boys
LOL! That is an awesome idea!! Love it! Shadchanim should really do that, and to the mothers who demand it too! It’ll make them realize what they’re saying. Awwwwesome 🙂
147- going to the zoo with a stupid parent or caretaker is the danger
wolf- you haven’t said that in a long while. What happened? :-/
it’s debatable. Depends how much oil is used and how big the pieces of matza are and….
One way to make it mezonos is to ‘cook’ the matza before making it into brei, ie putting the pieces into boiling water.
seriously? Yuck. Go find yourself some normal shadchanim. I sure wouldn’t want someone like that redting me a shidduch.
git meshige- TMI
i dont know about this orphanage, but your father is sadly incorrect about there not being Jewish orphanages, and the need for them
so your faith’s been restored? 🙂
oops seems i got edited.
It’s sounds clear that you truly know Hashem’s with you. I didnt mean to q that. Only to say, consciously give the outcome over to Him, ask Him to make it only work out good, and then YOU can stop worrying about it (or try to)
is this the first time she apologized, that your hopes are so high that it means a change? If not, it’s a cycle that tends to repeat itself, with many abusive or controlling people. The apology, regret, calm time, then the build up to explosion again. even if this is a change point and she is now determined to change, no change happens overnight. It’s a lot of work and takes time, and it will include slip-ups, a step backwards every once in a while or even 1 for every 2 forward. It’d still be advisable and important to have support and guidance for while going through that time.
It’s definitely hard to take that first step and speak to someone. It’s scary, there’s the fear and chance it can backfire, the relationship won’t be good and you’ll need to find someon you can relate to better, that you’ll want or need a second person involved. It IS a big, scary step. But it’s also an important one, and one that can bring you so much help and good and support. Put your fears into Hashem’s hands, tell Him you are trying to do your part and you know only He can control the outcome, and pray for it to work out in the best way. And then take a deep breath and let go of the branch, trust Hashem will catch you. Because He will. Be determined to make your life and your family’s life better and go for it.
there are also other listings. google it
yes, you still should. The apology does count as something, but those things shouldn’t even happen in the first place. No one can force you to do something, but I think you should try to push yourself too. Time does that to us, makes us reconsider, worry, lose nerve. But push forward, keep strong in your resolve. You could always ask them if they think it’s ok if she apologizes after. But if you change the story a bit, tell me what you think. If someone’s father beat him, left him with bruises, or didn’t let him eat for 2 days, but he then came to him apologizing with tears in his eyes, is that okay now? Does it cancel out the abuse done? and is that father now trusted to not repeat actions in a moment of rage?
wiy- yes, prunes and grapes do help constipation, as does whole wheat. there is soluble and insoluble fiber, but you don’t want to only take one alone either. other sources of soluble fiber (for loose stomach) are apples, oranges, pears, cucumber, celery.
yes. With prunes, bananas, and grapes
i learned this, not my own idea, i just don’t remember the source. It’s not the literal sense of indebted, but the Jewish concept of when someone ddoes you a favor, even small, you owe hakaras hatov+.
pshat- even though slavery has been abolished, and it’s more than probable we’d have been freed earlier, we’d have been indebted in a small sense to Paroah/Mitzrayim for freeing us.
sister in law should put matzah meal in popa’s bed
v’ahavta l’reyacha kamochaaaa, zeh klal gadol baTorah! V’ahavta l’reyacha kamochaaaa, zeh klal gadol baTorah!
C’mon people, it’s Pesach! Let’s start working towards the achdus of matan torah now! Shake and make up, and let’s all enter Pesach with a smile
writersoul- thanks for posting the first joke i hadn’t heard before!!
and kwaiker the second!
I feel bad for the multitude of girls and women working tomorrow morning…
snack late afternoon. hold back on the extra matza so your stomach doesn’t rebel later. Drink between kadesh and motzi matza- that should push off the worst hunger. USE A SMALLER KOS!! seriously.
almost supper time! mmm bagels, rice tomato soup, leftover challah, chulent and kishka from shabbos. Its chometz-finishing time!
pba- your comment was more disgusting
i like the look of the square plates better, but we use round dishes anyhow
1- if he is being motzi you with his brocha, then he has to hold the matzah. The extra you are using to make up a kzayis just, unless your taking your own 3 matzos.
3- it doesn’t.
yep. Tell your friend he promised you a second date, and push for it if you still want it
apbyg- thank you and amein!
thank you to the mod(s) who are taking the time on this busy night to keep posts going, and so quickly too!! Much appreciated!!
aproudbyg- thank you! I am really flattered by your conpliment, though i don’t know if it’s true :). I do try to be kind though, i’m glad i’ve reached a lil bit of success. You just brought a smile to my day, thanks for that.
A freilich, kasheren, happy, enjoyable, uplifting, relaxing, calm, smiley, pleasant, loving, simcha-filled, freeing Pesach to all poetry thread members and readers!
🙂
🙁
if you ever want an ear…
puppy- ur poems are so sad, but so moving and often very powerful or with a blast of inspiration at the end. i hope they arent reflecting your current emotions :-/
mmmmm fresh bagels, i’m game!
yytz- s’okay, i personally never had a doubt :). But some others are/were not so certain
i assume the ‘source’ is filling a cup of wine right before or after we open the door, and not drinking it, but it being the kos shel eliyahu’
sam2- ah, thank you. Im going to go bug my brother about this now
congratulations on admitting that you are a male yeshiva bachur, for those who were uncertain
i was waiting for this to be mentioned. Isn’t it a machlokes if the chazeres is romaine or iceberg? Isn’t that the reason people use horseradish or endives, though it’s not the top of the list of what can be used, because its at least known for sure what it is?
i think you can also bring your big pot of water to boil, throw in the stone to kasher it, then fully submerge your head to a count of 10. Oh and gargle, swirl and spit when you come up
what’s with you people getting pleasure out of making fun of others??
why? 🙂 (boy am I glad noone followed up on some of MY posts!)
cuz that wasn’t yentish 🙂
