didn’t check but i remember this from a past shiur

i am shocked beyond belief-May Hashem help all of us to merit the cessation of this terrible aveirah. If texting was muttar due to the ‘spark’less thing-where is the shailah and the answer from qualified poskim? Are you allowed to watch television if you leave it on? I remember (in the olden days) boys used to go to the stores where they would broadcast the world series during Rosh Hashona davening and watch from outside. How our Rabbis decried that!

Shabbos is our gift from Hashem, His specially thought out present just for us and to keep us close to Him-it is not about our limited view of our desires. If you feel cut off, why don’t you get together with friends?-

imagine how embarrassed you will be when you have to look at the register of your Shabbos texts in the Bais Din shel Maylah…The only weapon to fight the yetzer hora in these types of situations, is to learn Torah and go to Shiurim. Find someone who inspires you, and commit yourself to a daily schedule of learning.

I wish everyone Hatzlocha Rabbo in everything, and may every Shabbos that you keep, stand in your corner to protect you from any evil.

I think we are all rachmanim, and we can’t imagine anyone doing anything like this unless they were crazy. I was thinking that myself, but somebody told me that today there are very explicit movies and websites, and people could get sunk into such experiences where this type of unspeakable horror loses its ‘impossible to do’ status. There is very little logic to what happened in this tragedy. Many are saying that the achdus and the tears that came out are what Hashem wants from us. I would add that the addiction to the internet and the watching of inappropriate stuff might also be the message – because now matter how weird this guy looks, i don’t think he would have been capable of what he did, had he not been been spending a lot of time watching crazy stuff. May each person be zoche to correct his faults so that we can return purely to Yerushalayim with Moshiach.

i’ll do 21-51 (inclusive)

i think 141-150 is available i will do 145 through 150

also realize that most of what you think is weight, is not silver, it is something to weigh the piece down so that it can stand. The silver is usually a thin sheet of silver that is wrapped around a base. If they are totally ugly, then that is your best option, but if they are pretty and might be useful to someone, you can for sure pass them on – or sell them on ebay.

Cholent – Max Weinreich traces the etymology of cholent to the Latin present participle calentem, meaning “that which is hot” (as in calorie), via Old French chalant (present participle of chalt, from the verb chaloir, “to warm”).[10][11] [overnight]”. This refers to the old time cooking process of Jewish families placing their individual pots of cholent into the town baker’s ovens that always stayed hot and slow-cooked the food overnight.

that must have been so scary!!! In what area is this?

some people just seem to be the ‘newsroom’, they love knowing everything first, they grab the polite reaction you have to a question to make them the ‘knowledgable’ source of exactly how you feel-you can even see it in little kids, there’s always the kid in the bungalow colony who reports all the breakfasts and all the plans. It’s hard to know what to say to them-smile politely, distract the conversation, preferably to a public bit of excitement, and send them on.

Don’t take it personally, and don’t get roped in for the interview. It’s so frustrating when you hear back that that the simple sentence you said about deciding which school you are thinking about, comes back to you as, I heard Ruchie is going out of her mind because she can’t her kid into school.

I find the previous comments here very accurate- your budget and spending decisions are really none of her business-don’t sweat it, nobody gives a hoot about how expensive your shoes were at the sheva brochos. Your smiles, your appreciativeness of everybody’s joy in your simcha, your welcoming attitude at the wedding is what will make the simcha beautiful.

uh oh – mod – is there anyway to contact genuine to say different perakim?

She is in great need of our tefilloth, a Kallah in her glorious times -think of the family, the chosson – Please let us finish sefer Tehillim – there are still 45 kapitlach

APY – i think it was terrific of you to open this thread – i am disappointed in the response – I would love to volunteer, but i am truthfully overcommitted for a daily committment, but i do try to say my shidduchim names in shma koleinu, and i will add b’soch kol eilu shetzrichim shidduchim bsoch klal yisroel in light of your suggestion

i had nose bleeds when i was little- it was actually quite dangerous, because the blood coagulated while i was asleep and my parents found me passed out on the floor, so they took me for cauterization – never had a problem since then, and as a treat to distract me from the trauma, they had the doctor pierce my ears!

51-60 inclusive

when? – there are tons of people going to JFK from Lakewood-sending the boys to Israel- Paint a sign, you might get lucky – i know someone going tonight.

Try to really focus on her GOOD points-I am sure she has them. It is a very fine line relationship it is challenging for her to see your kids acting poorly in front of her, it is hard for her to deal with the mess the kids make, and i am sure she is quite tense having so many more people then usual. This makes her edgy and sensitive and as soon as she says something inappropriate, and senses everybody’s hackles going up, she probably gets even more upset resulting in tension and ‘bloozers’. If you try to see only the good, and compliment all the great food, and how well she handles this invasion of her space, she will be so happy that she might act nicer, and things will just generally be better.

Example: Here’s a lollipop sheyfalleh……

DIL – Oh, Mom they really shouldn’t have junk before supper (thinks what kind of idiot gives a kid all that sugar, before supper noch)

KIDS – (thinking – oh look, mommy doesn’t listen to bobby, she talks back to her……….bad chinuch, and worse than the sugar)

if DIL would say – Look how bobby always knows what everybody wants, let’s put the lollies in this box for after supper – everybody would be happier.

Paysach Krohn has some very relevant tapes on this subject for both MIL’s and DIL’s.

I always liked the saying –

Yesterday is History, Tomorrow a Mystery, Today is a Gift, Thats why it’s called the Present”

Sh’yimalei Hashem es kol mishalosecha l’tovah. You should have much brocha, nachas, gezunt, and hatzlocha in every area of your life.

It must be so frustrating to have everybody seemingly take his side – I really feel for you. You are the one that knows what really transpired, which must not be fun, not only did you have to go through it, you are being wronged and being judged by people who don’t understand what you are going through. I feel your pain, and hope that good times are in store for you in the very very near future.

it’s very hard to understand how people can do that, but there seems to be an overflow of people who can- don’t pay rent, don’t pay debts. I think when people are going through hard times, they look at the ‘landowner’,’lender/storekeeper’ as people who they don’t have to hurry and pay, since they see them as the ‘rich’ and themselves as the ‘poor’. And with the strain of rent expenses, taxes, and carrying debt, it is really far from the truth. I know this is not advice, you have already gotten that, and unfortunately it’s very not pretty to have to be rodaif a person who owes you money. You can definitely go the din torah route, it is so unpleasant, but sometimes there’s no choice. Don’t feel guilty-you are not the ’cause’. The only other thing that i can offer is the time old pasuk from Dovid Hamelech, Elokim amar lo kallel, Hashem sent you this aggravation, and Hashem is the one who will provide you with every penny you are supposed to have. May you see much blessing in everything.
