only chocolate i ever ate with a bad aftertaste was the 75% cocoa one( or was that 80%? Bleeeech).
I know some people are allergic to chocolate though.
But the endorphin release, and for me the creamy smoothness of the deliciousness and the sweetness without the sugary candy taste of a good piece of scrumptious milk chocolate… Mmmmmm
well then, there’s a use for your spare time! Go out n learn to skip 🙂
i’d disagree with number one. Yes, some people may know beyond a doubt after 2 weeks that they are in the wrong place. But being unhappy is different. It’s hard to adjust to any new situation and it takes time, and it takes time to get comfortable with new people. I remember one girl in my dorm basically cried on the phone home more than once a week, and she announced not wanting to come back after sukkkos and then chanuka. About 2 weeks after chanuka, she told me how suddenly everyone was more relaxed and comfortable with it so more focused on looking outside themselves, and she LOVED sem and ended up having an amazing year.
And to #5, no that is definitely not always true. Many seminaries (and yeshivos) are in debt themselves and just trying to cover costs.
Other advice: dont go just because everyone else is. Go because you want to.
Come in with a positive attitude.
Work work work on being mevater. Just be flexible, give of yourself more, put others first. As a side benefit, people will respect you and like you. Make the best of all the situations that come up.
Try to make friends with everyone at the beginning, even if it’s hard. Bring a group game and arrange a game close to the beginning of the year. Also a great ice breaker.
he’s is!
I do think a late night snack could give you a boost to stay up but i cant imagine that cutting them out made you now sleepy earlier. What will work is exercise. Even a brisk walk around the block should help. Just remember not to exercise within 3 or 4 hrs of bedtime.
shampoo doesnt hurt. It just might not help
shnitzy- you have to learn to skip? (blank stare…)
so how many funny looks did you get????
And no, i actually don’t have enough free time, so i make good use of those small rare chances i get
goq-harharhar 🙂
shnitzy- welllll ok all. Though the first only when i was home alone with a younger brother and both bored out of our minds :). It should got us in a fun mood!
dance and skip around the room, humming off-key, for 3min, then stop suddenly and sit down as if nothing happened and see how many funny looks i get.
Stare at people til they look up, then shake my head and look away.
Write poems, prose, or random nonsense.
See how many crunches i can do before i collapse exhausted. Or push ups.
Reread all those emails that go around (also posted in the CR) about what fun, randomness you can do when you’re bored at home, in a store or on the street.
Turn on the music, pull out a book, learn a skill or hobby. I recommend crochet and coding!
Whoa did this thread catch me in a funny mood.
or low iron. Again :), see ur dr. G’luck!
wow. Very nice piece. Thanks for sharing
popa- any females?
popa- sometimes you really make me wonder what kind of person you are irl. They say there’s a grain of truth in every joke. Your sense of humor is really warped at times… Makes me pity the females in your family.
sb- i didnt mean it in an accusatory way, i’m sorry if it came across like that. The whole situation is painful and shocking to me. Nonetheless, we are not allowed to pass judgement with only 1 side of the story. We understand your hurt and pain, but cant know why the admin is acting like this, what their thoughts and calculations are. Therefore we cant condemn them, or label them guilty.
I hope against hopes this can get cleared up and you dont have to endure this pain and struggle. Hoping for the best for you, now and in the future
torah- tcj was correct, its the cat in the hat “with a cup and a cake on the top of my hand… i can fan with the fan as i stand on the ball, but that is not all, oh no, that is not all”
except there’s definitely an error there, because he was jumping when he fanned i think….
shnitzy- ???
i dont have one or i’d have checked :). But post which concordantzia you have for others?
yep moishy. Well i thought it was a good suggestion anyhow
on the ball=”but that is not all, oh no, that is not all” come on, who can place it?
i skip most threads actually, perhaps opening them when they are started then not again, unless they hit 100 posts when you can be pretty sure its gone off topic
please everyone keep in mind this is only part of one side of the story, before you go putting down others or large groups of others
young children dont yet have control over those pragmatics of understanding that ”can you…” is a request and a polite one. ‘Please’ is understood first.
i’m ready for a day of sunny 65 degees!
pba- no
🙁
bec of tuition alone, they are asking you to leave?
Also, why leave e”y? Or was she giving you her own personal advice given what she knows about you. I hope you were able to hear her, if so, there might have been something small to consider in her talk. Did you speak to your rabbi yet about what she said?
mmmmmmm i am so agreeing with syag on that!!
dy- 😀
funnybone- yes, some adults forget to use their manners, or have mastered other forms of requests that work in place of please. But when you are teaching a child a new concept, its different is it not? I dont think purple will be letting her kids ignore spelling because she likes text talk, nor that its hypocritical to. (no offense meant in the slightest purple! Keep up ur stuf! Thx 4 bein a gr8 ex 🙂 )
snort. Good title though
heh check your subtitle :). It should say on the first or last page of your concordantzia what those stand for and mean
this debate is cracking me up 🙂
i dont remember being awed by haagen dasz chocolate ice cream bar coating though
and welcome back
perhaps her emotions, her almost at tears made the rabbi uncomfortable. Perhaps he didn’t feel it’d be tznius for her to cry in front of him, whether that she’d regret it, or that he didn’t want to feel emotional sympathy. So he took out his phone to break the tension and build-up of the moment. To keep her from crying. Or maybe he was texting for a better answer to give her, not knowing himself how to best respond.
narf
bad idea. Invites trolls and creeps, with less adults to call them out
on the other hand, look up seminaryandbeyond
wanderingchana- yes, some have. And many haven’t. And its a good way to weed out the girls they wouldnt want
my father reuses his teabags twice :). I save those sporks from instant soup cups for when i have packed lunch. I make my own duct tape wallet and change purse. I reuse gatorade bottles. I darn my socks and tights. I rebind old siddurim with mesh and booktape. Hmmm what else? I am a big fix-it-yourself person
purple- no, definitely not all. And for a bunch, its genetic factors, like in my family, 2 diff hair losses for 2 different reasons. But quite a few boys have receding hair lines. I’m not sure how much more prevalent it is in yeshivish circles though. Could just be due to less hair care as opposed to those who condition, blow dry or style their ‘chup’ or more
gamanit- yes there are those type :P. But its become a habit, and people often don’t really realize what they are doing. I had a conversation about this with a group of girls once and was surprised how many didn’t notice themselves doing it.
shnitzy- of course it’s been done to me plenty, and i’ve seen it done to others. I try redirecting the convo back for others, but when its moved on to another topic, it doesnt always work.
not for those who wear theirs tipped back :), or who dont wear them (often). Besides, then these guys would only lose some hair at the front and have a higher overall hair line, not male balding pattern receding hairline
purple- what a chill pill?
Dumbest- banana slicer
smartest- the snooze button!
no. But it could very likely be a lack of some vitamin/mineral.
(i can’t believe i just complimented a pair of Wellies!! :P)
it bothers me when someone is telling over a story etc, and someone else interrupts, be it with her own related story or a comment about something going on around them, and then the conversation is redirected and the first never gets to finish what s/he had begun
from the guy who makes fun of girls dieting and fasting…
honey mustard
hey, those are pretty cool. Fun-looking :). Enjoy dem!
why can’t she understand?
amazing!!
what color and pattern??
