    some thoughts. 1- if her children aren’t crying and pulling at her skirts in hunger, she can daven.

    2- in a situation as the one described, being supplied with food for a month doesn’t give her any idea where the food will come from in Chesvan or how she will pay the rent, or what to do about her child’s outgrown shoes… There’s enough motivation for prayer even less the worry of hunger for a few weeks. 3- she can go to shul if her kids are fed, as opposed to them not being able to sit in shul, or her needing to spend (part of) her mornings begging or scrounging for food, so there the food would directly contribute to improved tefilla.

    use the other side of the foil? Spray/ rub a little oil on the foil first, that should prevent sticking

    my sibs generally tell my parents after first trimester or later, but dont tell the siblings til close before they start showing. (and no, my parents don’t tell the other kids!) And with one exception, every single time i’ve known before. Once or twice i even slipped up and said something to the expectant mother, forgetting she hadn’t yet told me about it- oops! By now, when they tell me, they all ask me how long i’ve known. It’s more of a shock for me to find out that others had no idea!

    did popa just give normal, serious, sensitively-worded, good advice?? Please hold while i recover. And agree with him.

    I just heard today about an old-news concept of going completely off all wheat. It’s supposedly controversial and many drs dont agree with the basis, but the dr claims anyone can lose 15lb in 30 days by going off all wheat. You can search frankenwheat for more info, but in summary, that todays genetically engineered wheat is unhealthy, unfilling, spikes blood sugar levels more than a choc bar in one experiment, and is actually addictive. And that includes whole wheat and whole grain. My curiosity was spiked :), and hey maybe i’d even try it for a month just to test it out!

    think first- welcome back! Or hello on your visit! I know, it’s sad how it died out…

    Taom- maybe lost IS a better word. But i call it pain, and sometimes depression. But you are more right, it having lost ones way, the sight of ones goals, the big picture, the purpose of and meaning in ones life. And it’s a feeling I (and some other poets here) have related to or still do. I’m not someone who can advise. There is some amazing advice and direction on pages past of this thread. All i can offer is understanding, care, and to let you know you’re not alone, and someone feels for you. I hope your life makes a tremendous sudden turn upwards and you see and understand how its all for your good, and grow through the struggle

    Member

    perhaps because everyone is (should be?) focused on the chupa and not the other side of the room? Many chuppas i’ve been at have had no mechitzas, but a rope/ribbon/drapery down 1 side of the aisle to prevent women mixing into the mass of men dancing the chosson n kallah out. That’s something i’d love to see more often

    in reply to: Is this normal? #970850
    SaysMe
    Member

    i can relate to the feeling. Its normal, yes, but not neccesarily good always. With s/thing like davening, or helping others, chesed, etc, you should try to work on the feeling, telling yourself that positive actions and mitzvos are not something you should ever be embarrassed of. Dont let others’ presence delay or stop you from doing a good thing. Peer pressure can be a dangerous zone. Work on focusing on what you are doing, and tuning out everyone else around you. We often feel people are going to be looking at us, but in reality, most people are busy with their own things and thoughts and not really looking. And for those who are, you will be a positive role model and a good example!

    situational depression- same concept. You are 100% right. Bottling the stress or containing oneself, until it hits a point and a little bit of all that pain or anger overflows.

    if you think she may be able to help, it doesnt hurt to call and ask (unless she’s someone who’d spread the news, which i doubt). Teachers are usually happy to help if they’re capable. If she can’t, i’d hope she’d let you know and help direct you to someone who can. The fact that she was your teacher 2 yrs ago shouldnt be a veto factor. Many times girls go to past teachers. Gluck!

    wiy- that was my point. People may have heard of the name even if they havent heard her sing (or eben known that she was a singer- yay me) so i don’t think it was such a big deal to just mention her name in passing. If a discussion started about some non-Jewish celeb, i’d also ask for it to be censored out. In passing, come and gone, not such a big deal imo. It’s more the threads that start about unposted news in the Jewish community that tempts me to google. And those also tend to at the best, border on loshon hora. Those are the threads i’m a lot more concerned about.

    being real- they may be few and far between but theyre out there and it makes it easier to find the one for you if you have a specific hashkafa you’re looking for. I know girls looking for that.

    I’m wondering. Are you looking to learn while in college only because you dont think the type of girl you want would go out with s/o in college full time?

    WIY- How do you know who Taylor Swift is? 🙂 Maybe she’s a giyores who speaks! 🙂 come on, you can’t censor other posters like that. Why is one thing okay and another not? Taylor Swift, discworld, harry potter, savage, politics, music by different jewish composers/singers even. its all a matter of personal levels and choices and stuff. cant draw that line for others. if they’d posted a link it’d be one thing, but a name in passing? eh
