yenta- did you read through the thread? It was mentioned more than once 🙂
big bugs are worse. Definitely.
Purplicious- my father too! Bugs he doesnt mind killing and they dont bother him. But when we had a mouse, he wouldnt touch that mousetrap with a 10 foot pole!
Oom- when i was a kid, i didnt know what either of those words meant 🙂
wiy- ugh ugh ugh. That’s the part that creeps me out, feeling the body. I can kill or catch a bug, but someone else has to dispose of it. (shivers) Or supply me with a thick pile of tissues.
i used to play with some kinds of bugs. Snails, worms, caterpillars, millipedes, pillbugs… Now i cant imagine how i enjoyed that!
their daily emails are still coming. Maybe email them.
have you tried contacting your doctor? Seriously, first things first
ukguy- because you wipe off fog from the inside on a cold day
isn’t that kinda what the online shidduch programs are?
cuz many (most?) peopke dont view stuttering as a ‘problem’, not one that would really concern them. Like a slight limp or early receding hairline, if it doesnt bother the person, they can see right through that and find out who you are. That’s why they’d want to marry, not because of a superficial stutter.
found it! the other al tira is from the Waterbury CD. also a beautiful tune
there is another “al tira…ki lo b’moso” too. Cant recall the singer now though. i’ll see if i can find it.
the toronto pirchei version can be heard on the miami solo album
personal opinion: let girls start later instead. Getting people to start when they’re not ready or not mature enough just sounds like a really bad idea to me!
rebdoniel- “People need to be with people who were raised similarly.” true for some but not all, as seen from many happy, successful, strong marriages between people of very different upbringings. as long as they are looking to go the same way, and are open-minded to their spouse, it can work.
frummy- ah gotcha! So next consecutive would be 2031, and 2013-2019 all are unique. Thanks for the clarification
midwesterner- i think he meant to use the zeros in the # loop or not, so 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 vs 7 8 9 1 2 3. Not to skip the zeros though. so if u count the zero as in the cycle 2013=0123 or 1809=8901, and if you skip zeros, 1987= 7891.
I’d say it’s fine to want a wife who does now/ wants to continue to attend or watch a shiur online at least once a week and to try and read from Hashkafa books,etc. It’s a type of personality who enjoys attending shiurim and/or readign hashkafa books. If she’d be able to keep it up with 3 kids and a job is something else, so i specify ‘want’, not ‘expect’. Not sure if I 100% agree with your atrophy lines, but definitely the concept and the type of house that’s looking to continue growing upwards, and i agree thats something to say you are looking for.
fascinating yenta
check out your profile, it looks really intriguing too!
thankyew thankyew vera much! i love those word morph games, but that one had me stumped for a while!

MIB? Motor insurers bereau? Management info base? Mebibyte? Man in black? Mod in b?????
wiy- i learned to never smile at dogs because bared teeth is a sign of aggression to dogs. Also dont look a dog directly in the eyes, as it is threatening to them.
Pba- yes, if you want to get attacked.
my friend said toronto got 7 inches overnight. Woah! Pull out the shovels!
phdmom-but with s/o you can’t avoid, passive-aggressive is easier
it depends how it is done. sometimes i find it irritating and sometimes i appreciate those posts. I happen to holes in this specific argument of haifagirl’s too 🙂
But regardless, 2 wrongs don’t make a right. I don’t think haifagirl means to be rude, and i don’t think a biting comment is a proper reply
toi- some of us care about rudeness and kindness though.
Woohoo a copycat oomis??
Though i happen to totally agree with that post. Perhaps the caller or the receiver doesnt want anyone else to know who is calling, including the secretary. They have their reason. Perhaps it’s ‘not valid’, perhaps it is, but why not respect their privacy and err on that side? unless said receiver is specific about wanting a full name before receiving calls.
ICOT- ok, now i KNOW that there IS such a thing as a too long post! sheeeeeesh
ok, yes, my poem was shorter :), only 2 pages. but i now risk giving away my identity by posting, so i gotta consider the risk of posting. Thanks for your interest tho! 🙂
jmh- hi!
welldressed007- welcome
mods, has zeeskite’s name been cleared up, as we hope?
zk- good, i’m glad
go read the book shidduch secrets AKA dating secrets. They work you through making a list
ICOT- i agree, with emphasis on the correctly part.
I actually went and wrote a poem to post, but it turned out to be wayyyy too long to post. Gonna have to try for a shorter one some time!
Hello to all the fellow poetry thread posters!
mazel tov!! 😀
amein and thank u for the bracha; baruch tihiyeh! Thank you for YOUR amazing support, responses and kind words in the poetry thread, and for keeping it alive! Continued simchos!!
blabla +1 on the idea and on the poem! ah, but both the dangers and the benefits… Its amazing to be able to have that anonymity though, i think.
How are you doing?
The CR is off on another one of those weird, disconcerting phases that i so hate. I can’t stand how someone says something, which may even be loshon hora, and suddenly so many jump to say “i knew it!” when all they had was a feeling back when, no proof to bring up. and I sincerely hope this Joseph thing isnt gonna be an AYC or more/more2 repeat… I’m gonna start being very limiting about which threads i open again, and pray this passes quickly and painfully. /end rant
you are really sweet puppy, thanks so much for thinking abt me! Since monday, i’ve been much better, MUCH less stressed. Lil (read: a lot) worried abt what this weeks gonna bring, but taking one hour at a time. Chanuka did me good, as did some supportive friends (THANKS YOU!). hoping to get better yet! How are you doing???
And how’s everyone else?

this whole thread feels very wrong to me. If you have an issue with someone, feel free to ignore them yourselves. Dont slander or make accusations you can’t prove. Realize there are trolls and you’re welcome to not acknowledge or reply to them. Yes, the trolls, and the excess we’re currently seeing bothers me too. But keep the reactions b’nachas
btw, some of the dr oetker mixes are dairy. Learned that in sem when we had an oops moment
talk to someone or write it out even- bottling up pain can excabberate it. Get it out, then try to stop thinking about it.
Think happy thoughts, imagine yourself relaxing at a beach etc
get busy!! Whether cleaning, cooking, crafts, reading. Neccesities or hobbies. And turn on a tape in the background if your mind wanders back.
For some, music is an amazing help. Whether to get swept up in it, daven through it, let out emotions with it…
Go do chesed. A-it may change your perspective on your pain. B-helping others makes you feel good always! Just dont sell yourself short in your mind-your goal doesnt matter, only that you are making a difference to others. This can be interactive like bikkur cholim, partners in torah, big brother/sister, or helping a family for an hour, or something ‘behind the scenes’ like packing boxes for bikkur cholim or tomchei shabbos. There is always what to do for volunteers at organizations- just ask!
Feel better!
frumnotyeshivish-i seriously hope that was a joke
toi, popa- i’ve posted this in the past, but it definitely is worth repeating! Some girls/women also LOSE weight with time and children. None of my sisters or mother was a size 2 or even close when they got engaged. They all lost more weight with every birth, and now are all size 2-6. (for the guys, 6 is what you’d probably call skinny but no toothpick 🙂 ). So yeah, i’m not thin, but hey, odds are in my favor here!
pleeeeeeeeeease be careful about grease fires. I’ve already heard of one major fire from latke cooking this year. Remember to NEVER throw water on an oil fire. Turn off the flame. If close at hand, dump on baking soda. Otherwise, just cover the pan with a lid or cookie sheet. And dont peak until the pan is completely cool- the oxygen can start the fire going again. NO flour, NO water. Be safe everyone!
welcome back aurora!
wiy- ever seen those locks? Its one of 2 generic keys that can be opened with a paper clip
i’m a bais yaakov graduate, and i definitely learned in a context that ”men are animals” from both a male and a female teacher. And it wasnt said to scare us, and it didnt, because it was explained.
mods???? This is getting uglier by the post! Please! Isnt this part of moderating?
i dunno. I know i’ve come across an old diary of a sib. But i tore up n threw out my old one, and my current one, i dont think anyones read! And my other one is well hidden. My gmail ‘diary’ was gotten into tho. Also, more people can technically access gmail, more places you can forget to sign out of, vs the one tangible diary.
nervous to get myself into this debate, but here goes
i understand someone not wanting to go out with someone overweight if it bothers them. I dont understand how asking dress size is an acceptable question. May as well ask how much they weigh already. A question of is s/he petit(e)/skinny vs average vs heavy vs very overweight i’d be more ok with. It gives a general idea without getting into personal details. I’d be very curious how many boys actually knew what size 2 meant, and surprised if more than a tiny percentage did.(and left to wonder why…). Size and appearance dont match up often either. Last time i had a debate about this i asked my brother off shidduch-age what size he thought i was, after overhearing out convo of boys’ mothers wanting size 2. I was honored and humored to hear he thought i was a size 2, which i havent been since 7th grade or so, and am not close to. So its not the physical attraction aspect i have so much of a problem with (though not none either), but the ”dress size” convo
applesauce!!
tall guys?? I meant guys shorter than me! 😀
uneeq- sadly i speak from experience when i say even your email may not be safe from prying eyes…
gefen- sending some encouragement to stick to your desire to not reply to that post, cuz i’m not sure i’d be able to not defend myself…
Mods, is this conversation not completely done?? Please stop this from spiralling further downward
shmoel- drop it. And read the link the wolf posted.
IMO, no
