    Every Jewish child should have a grandma like oomis. Amen.

    Oomis, may you always see much Nachas from your children and grandchildren and may you enjoy a long and happy life together with your lucky husband, gezunteheit!

    Make sure to have a healthy breakfast in the morning every day. It doesn’t have to be a lot of food, but breakfast should be non-negotiable. Have a light snack between breakfast and lunch, say an apple and non-fat yogurt for example. Or any fruit and a serving of nuts etc. If you’re going away for a couple of hours, take something light along with you so that you won’t feel like you want to eat everything in sight when you come back.

    Eat a big salad as part of lunch as well as dinner.

    Increasing physical activity cannot be stressed enough. Exercise goes a long way for weight loss and overall health. If you can’t hit the gym, or have time constraints or whatever, try to walk as much as you could.

    Drink 2 glasses of water with every meal. Drink only water between meals.

    Going to sleep at a decent hour every night is very important. When your body is tired and needs energy the brain sends mixed messages and you end up overeating. (We all know that sleep is important. Not just for weight loss.)

    When I saw all the seminary threads on here one day, I was reminded of this thread because I remember when this was active and it was funny at the time.

    But the seminary threads did not bother me one bit so that was not why I bumped this.

    Bump is basically to bring up an old post or thread. I think it stands for Bring Up My Post.

    (Although in this case it wasn’t my post. But I think that’s what it stands for.)

    Hmmm…. Do they speak English? 😉

    I think it depends more on personality than race. Everybody is different.

    It is very important to be polite to colleagues and a simple “good morning” goes a long way especially at the office. I guess not everybody is aware of this.

    Don’t let that stop you from being yourself.

    in reply to: Yichud Gift for Kallah #1037881

    Member

    Mazal Tov, thumbthrough. May you build a BNB.

    If your Kallah doesn’t have an iPod yet, then that might be an option. You can load her favorite songs on there before you wrap it. You may also be able to engrave it with her name or a short message on the back. Although I’m not sure if that’s possible on the iPod. Perhaps you can check with an engraver. (It might be too thin)

    Another idea would be a nice pen with her name engraved on it.

    A watch may be considered jewelry but it serves a practical/ functional purpose and is not just ornamental.

    Also, a watch can look cute or fun if she doesn’t like a serious looking one so that may be something to consider.

    Maybe a nice pair of designer shades. She can never have too many.

    If your kallah appreciates flowers, you can get a nice vase and have it monogrammed.

    interjection mentioned stud earrings.

    Your Kallah will need earrings even if she is not the jewelry type.

    Those are a real classic and so versatile. I think you cannot go wrong with diamond studs.

    If you want to be on the safe side; you can ask her, but then you lose the element of surprise.

    TAOM, You are not responsible for other people’s actions. You will not be punished because of something that your father does. Hashem does not work that way.

    I would strongly urge you to get in touch with Shalom Task Force, or perhaps Rabbi Wallerstein, they are trained in dealing with sensitive matters and they will keep it all confidential.

    I don’t think anybody would judge you or think of you differently. On the contrary, they will see you as very strong for having reached out and doing what’s right.

    TAOM, you’re very brave for speaking out.

    Think about someone in real life to discuss your feelings with. You are in a lot of pain and it’s not healthy to bottle it up. You’re smart and IY”H you’ll get through this. You just can’t do it on your own, because it’s not so simple. Don’t worry about your family’s reputation now, worry about yourself. Speak to someone you trust and who will keep things private.

    Good luck.

    eclipse, did anyone ever tell you that you’re VERY creative? Because you are.

    I once asked a friend why people are so interested in dissecting the lives of others during a conversation. I liked the reply I got: “no; it’s not during a conversation, THIS IS their conversation.”

    So true. Unfortunately.

    Yes, I always wait for the answer. If I ask it’s because I care and am serious about it.

    I don’t however get insulted when people ask me and keep going. I kind of expect that because I know this question became quite routine and most people don’t think into it too much and that’s ok with me.

    in reply to: Should Jews Give Candy This Coming Monday Night? #1105092
    sharp
    Member

    I personally don’t think that giving candies to your neighbor’s children is the same as celebrating or observing the holiday. They’re kids and they are not necessarily aware that their Jewish neighbors don’t keep their holidays and I think it would make a positive impression on them if you give them some sweets instead of sending them away empty-handed.

    Also remember that neighbors are neighbors and often they’re here to stay. So being polite and courteous to them and friendly to their kids when they go trick or treating is probably the right thing to do. But that’s just my opinion.
