Muscle ways more than fat so it could be that if you don’t exercise you can still be the same weight because your muscle is turning into fat and even if you gain a more fat you’ll still weigh the same.
I feel really bad for your kids, just saying.
Dya know how much students look forward to midwinter vacation??? They count down from the day after Yom Tov Vacation!! Midwinter vacation lets us retain our sanity and rejuvenate for the next half of the year!! I don’t know about you but Yom Tov isn’t always that relaxing. Are you seriously gonna make your kids go back to school right after midterms???
Nobody is forcing you to keep up with the Jonas’s or whoever. if you feel the need to that is your own issue and don’t take it out on kids all over the world!!!
To be proud of being Jewish, just like the people who went to their deaths singing.
To love Hashem even if the going gets tough. (Aish.com put out an amazing video called inoculations. Watch it, its amazing and describes pain!!)
I know someone who moved to Germany to do kiruv, she told her grandmother who had lost her siblings and parents in the war that it was the best revenge. She is bringing Jews back to Torah and having a beautiful Jewish family in the place where Hitler wanted to eradicate Judaism.
You’re not missing anything except a name. You get a name when you wear designer clothes and it makes a statement.
Sure it might be better quality, but as pumper said you probably aren’t gonna wear it enough to figure it out.
And just think you can buy a ton more clothing for the same price as one designer clothing then since you have so much you wont wear those out either since you only wear them once in a while.
I grew up in a kiruv home and my parents did not compromise our standards nor did we ever dream of being like the people who ate by us, who lived with us… (and no we are not Chabad)
I would say it depends on your kids ages and the age of the girl. You could set standards inside your own home and tell the girl that she has to abide (obvious they should be reasonable).
You can explain to your kids that there are different strokes for different folks.
Ask a rav who knows you and your family!!!
Six Flags Great Adventures – but that’s if you like roller coasters and its not such a good family park.
Hershey Park – has good rides for everyone.
If you’re a thrill lover though I would suggest Six Flags, since even though Hershey is a blast the rides are a touch tamer!! (except Farenheit )
ya, or those funny things to do during exams!!!! I care too much about my grades to do that but if I didn’t…
Imagine someone doing this while you’re taking a test:
Turn in the exam approximately 30 minutes into it. As you walk out, start commenting on how easy it was.
Every five minutes, stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue with the exam.
Walk into the exam with an entourage. Claim you are going to be taping your next video during the exam. Try to get the instructor to let them stay, be persuasive. Tell the instructor to expect a percentage of the profits if they are allowed to stay.
As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.
Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he’s not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.
Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 15 minutes. Wake up, say “oh geez, better get cracking” and do some gibberish work. Turn it in a few minutes early.
Do the entire exam in another language. If you don’t know one, make one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.
Back to the OP, what would you say if they asked you if you were a fruit which would you be?
It’s illegal to graffiti cows in Texas.
frumladygit I love those!!! One day I might just have to do them 🙂
We went to a Yankee game once and my sister who is so the type to do these types of things was gonna call out in the elevator group hug!! lol thank goodness my mother convinced her not too, cuz I’m sure they would’ve done it. 🙂
wow that’s amazing!!!!!
Mazal Tov!!!!!!!
I think I may know their cousins…unless there are two people with the exact same thing.
I know a family that has 9 or 10 girls and one boy. And in my own family, we have more girls than you can count on one hand.
MAZAL TOV!!!!!!
Portion control is one of the main things along with eating healthy and exercising more. Also drinking a lot of water helps since it fills you up.
Mod 80 – do I know you? lol someone I know told me that same exact story.
It’s really funny to read this thread and you can almost clearly see who smokes or people that know people who smoke.
Anyway, smoking is known to be wrong and dangerous, yeah over-eating is also, but that wasn’t the question. The question was about smoking would that be a deal breaker or not?
I do not really have respect for people who smoke, because why are they doing it? They know its wrong. They might be very nice people and all but still…
Mac or Max is a nice dark red.
I like Spaghetti Straps.
I find that light colors tend to get ruined way quicker than darker ones.
But if the light ones chip its not as noticeable.
Maybe don’t so somewhere in Monsey proper as she might not want to be seen by all her friends.
Isn’t it illegal not to? My neighbors who didn’t live in their house but it was still theirs, didn’t shovel the sidewalk and they almost got a ticket.
If being a mentsch doesn’t speak to you then maybe monetary loss will.
If you don’t shovel your sidewalk and someone hurts themselves on the snow, you can get sued.
*You can get boat tours of the houses of the rich and famous, in Aventura Mall they have them going all the time.
*Aventura mall is a cool outdoor mall.
*The beach (when I went there were no other people there except other Jews.
*Para-sailing
*Jet skiing
*Any water activity
wurdle
the impossible quiz (or test)
the moron test
Central, Hafter, DRS, TAG, HALB, Shulamit, SKA, Bruriah, Yeshiva K’tana of Passaic all divisions, MHS all don’t have school.
If your kids in one of those, they don’t have school!!!!!!!!
No school tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For basically all the schools in NY area!!!!!!!!!!!
Some schools are closed for tomorrow as well!!!!!
They better do that with mine!!!!!
We have 2 feet of snow!!!!!!!!!!
I love snow!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, what people don’t realize that if a door is open it means someone is standing there holding it for them? I mean no matter where your mind is…
It’s true that sure you don’t have to say thank you when someone holds the door open for you but often if you don’t say thank you for something so small then something big you won’t either say thank you for.
Mazal Tov!!!!!
PBA – ha you wish I’m doing it for the thank you. It’s your issue if you want to say thank you or not. But I still think its a nice thing to say thank you, even if the person holding the door open for you is of the opposite gender. We’re still human. But what to expect, not everyone follows the chazl of “Derech Eretz Kadma L’Torah”
Sorry for my wrong info.
I heard its a Zchus to yashu’s neshama(however thats speeled) because it was his birthday.
The best is when you hold open the door for someone and they don’t even say thank you. I love yelling after them you’re welcome.
or even better, when your standing in a line somewhere and a guy cuts in front of you but when you react and are like excuse me whatever then they won’t talk to you but it’s alright if they push you.
I never understood that.
Oorah is a kiruv organization.
I think it focuses on bringing back families to Torah.
What is your favorite mitzva?
Why do you want to come to this seminary?
A Dvar Torah on the weeks Parsha.
Those types of questions.
Good luck, hope you get into the seminary of your choice!!!!
I don’t know anything about a curse but I heard that in a certain city there were a bunch of bad things happening, like young women miscarrying so the Rosh HaYeshiva said that you need a persons zchus and a great anav and Talmid Chacham moved in and until he was niftar the community didn’t really have any great tragedies.
Maybe you could try to do something like that, counterattack the Rav’s curse.
I heard a funny story that happened in Israel.
A guy and his girlfriend got on a bus that was slightly crowded. There was a yeshiva bachur sitting by himself on a bench with only one empty seat next to him. Te girl said she’d get them a seat and goes to sit next to the bachur. He kept on sitting there. Finally she asked him aren’t you not allowed to sit next to a girl? He turned to her and was like, “yeah only pretty ones.”
I totally agree!!!!!!!!! It’s sooooo annoying and frustrating to see these illegal immigrants getting free insurance and what not while people who wanna come here legally have to pass through so much red tape!!!
People should really do stuff about it!!!
(I can’t cuz I’m a legal immigrant)
Um yeah call the school because he’s a reckless driver and he’s lucky nothing happened but if he continues driving like that, then there could very well be a next time which they might not be so lucky.
Thanks trying my best. (I’m not that slow I just wanted to clarify it, cuz I see the opposite being done usually.)
Cute Story: We used to put the eggs in the cholent. And once we went to a egg farm (or something of that sort) with family friends who did it too and there were some brown eggs cuz a chicken with brown feathers was sitting on it, and one of the kids was like “oh look there’s a cholent egg.”
Well if its a bigger mitzva to make a Kiddush Hashem in front of Jews then I assume its a bigger aviera to make a Chilul Hashem in front on Jews?
Thats a good question.
How about for a sibling who intermarried or a parent??
So lets see (and this is off hand) the girl pays for, the wedding (most at least), Shabbos Sheva Brachos, support the couple, the apartment (in Israel I think), sheitals, a couple thousand buck watch…
The boy pays for FLOP (sometimes a sheital too), and the dates.
And now you seriously want the girls to pay for more? Guys, seriously GROW UP!!! You want to just shirk ALL of your responsibilities?
I mean the girl is the one working, taking care of the house, the kids, must keep herself stick thin even after kids. While the man does what exactly, sits and learns all day (if they even do that) Oh yeah and grow fat from their wives cooking.
I did hear that studying Torah makes one feel better. My friend had a headache and wasn’t feeling well once and then we had a Navi class and afterwards when I asked her if she wanted Tylenol she said her headache went away.
Sleep in late. Laze around. Go to the gym. Try to get out of doing those home repair projects that are always waiting to be done. Hang out with friends….
Take Vitamin C crystals and I know Mod 80 doesn’t think its healthy and all, just your your own judgement but Silver. Also garlic is good. (I just did a whole report on this stuff. People say that 1 milligram of allicin [garlic], has the potency of 15 standard units of penicillin!)
If you can sleep it out, and more at the beginning.
Try not to eat milk and wheat since they cause mucus buildup.
Refuah Shleima!
PBA: I think Rav Paysach Krohn says a story or something about this that he was staying by Rav Shlomo Shwadron because his father was sick and he said, “I have bitachon that my father will get better.” And Rav Shwadron got angry and said, “bitachon isn’t saying that everthing is gonna work out, but realizing that everything that happens is from Hashem and is for the best.”
I guess that’s what your saying. I can understand that but I don’t think that just because people don’t recognize that EVERYTHING is from Hashem they shouldn’t recognize and see the apparent good is from Hashem.
I was walking with my friend somewhere, for some reason I just looked left saw no cars coming and then right and I started walking into the street, when I don’t know what I suddenly stopped. I was literally less than two feet away from a car.
PBA – yeah so sometimes it’s not so clear that its Hashem, so that’s what we have to try and work on, seeing how the bad is sometimes good. But sometimes Hashem shows us signs that are more noticeable that He’s there and taking care of our every need.
Household potato peeler!! It’s the most hated job in my house!!!
A friend of mine’s something or other is friends with one of the maccabeats and they said that they got a ton of calls from people who were lighting candles and wanted to know more about Chanukah and their heritage.
As for the people who say well it’s good for public school people but not us. Well the song they took it from is a totally appropriate song (that’s what my friend said anyway.)and it’s better than some other famous singers who’s tunes come from bad songs.
The mall is an option now that Shabbos ends early. You can go and have a good two hours to go shopping.
fold the laundry – doble el lavadero YOU ARE TELLING HER TO FOLD THE LAUNDRY ROOM! LOL. It should say DOBLE LA ROPA LAVADA.
That’s a translation website for you 🙂
We figured out that whenever we need to tell our cleaning lady something we type it up in google translate and then copy and paste it onto word and print it up. Even if the Spanish isn’t perfect, it’s pretty good. And then if she needs to tell us something lengthy she types it in Spanish and then translates it to English (although, I must admit that the translation is almost impossible to understand :))
We won a sefarim shrank and shofar but never got either. Oh well.
I won free personal training at the gym (a girl will call that big)
In a school chinese auction I won jackpot which then won me like five or six things, only one of which was what I actually put in for but I’m not complaining 🙂
I learned/use a segula maybe, idk what to call it to write “??? ??? ?????” on the ticket, and really believe it, it helps win a few things.
Why is it so hard to be a mentch? Is it so hard to say thank you to someone who holds the door open for you?
I know no one here is saying that, but I’m getting a sense that we shouldn’t treat non-Jews nicely!
There is a very broad line in my opinion between being a mentch and then getting close to them.
(And sorry to digress for a sec – i’m not a feminist in the least bit but this does include females as well. Just cuz you guys can’t look at us and whatever doesn’t mean that if we hold the door open for you, you can’t say thank you. Derech Eretz kadma l’torah!)
