Teachers in frum schools aren’t often trained to handle challenging kids. They usually make situations that are dealable worse.
I think the concept of “over-educated” women bothers men because they start to wonder about “kalot rosh” with regard to women.
But my experience still stands. Those “over-educated” women are often able to accomplish what they do BECAUSE they haven’t gotten married young, not vice versa. Not all of course, but most.
IME, the more yeshivish girls who go on careers with longer schooling are doing so because they aren’t married. So they major in biology because in theory they might be a doctor. As they graduate and aren’t dating anyone, they figure they might pursue their dreams in the meantime.
Friday night: Roast chicken with rice and vegetables
Shabbos day: Leftovers from Friday night or cholent
Unless we have company.
I almost got kicked out of Fenway Park.
I saw the Yankees win the World Series.
I have two kids. That’s pretty crazy.
For so we can make shidduchim. Also, those who don’t talk to the opposite gender can avoid it.
Against because sometimes people make funny mistakes 🙂
I gave the best answer I was told, but YWN doesn’t allow it through. Understandable.
Squeak is a man.
Dr P – I would put you between 32-35.
Yes he was.
Squeak,
I once had dinner friday night with a man who totally was similiar to you. I don’t *think* it was you, but he definitely had your sense of humor and way of speaking.
Who else thinks WIY and Sac are flirting in the CoffeeRoom? Time to meet up for your slurpee shidduch date!
Your company wouldn’t go bankrupt without you. I am sure they would even turn a profit. Therefore, you are not contributing to the rent really.
Arc, yes landlords make money, but not as much as people think. There are taxes, mortgages, building upkeep, code requirements etc.
Wolf can safely assume that any part of his company profit, if it even affects his companies rent (which it doesn’t really) can be going to the upkeep part.
Sac, that’s me!
No Wolf. They are obligated to pay their rent even if you do not do a thing. Their lease is not tied to performance.
Also, I doubt the Church is really making much off the rent. More likely, its going for building upkeep.
Moq, absolutely I want my husband to avoid situations he finds difficult. He drives to work and works for a company that’s like 90% male 🙂
Its more of a practical matter regarding our A/Cs. They are digital but don’t have built in timers. You can’t cycle them on and off. Its either on or off. So we leave them on when needed.
Did Sac go to the right seminary?
I’m addicted to slurpees. They get me through my pregnancies.
That women should neither be seen nor spoken about?
We don’t use timers on our air conditioners. I do sit next to men on the bus.
I don’t always follow R’ Moshe. I follow my Rav though.
Well, most holidays revolve around the theme of “they tried to kill us, we won, lets eat!”
Depends what age.
Are you talking about a 12 year old who babysits twice a month? Or an 18-20 year old living at home?
There was a thread at some point about going to an arcade and complaining that a girl was dancing on the DDR machine. How could she take her son out of the house if he was going to witness things like that?
So quarantine your son. Isn’t that easier than screening every place you go for a possible non-tzanua girl?
jakyweb, I think its really a business decision. There are people who won’t buy the publications if women are in it. There aren’t many people who won’t buy it if there aren’t women in it. They get more money that way.
APY, its men+bowling+(woman not bowling) = HYPOCRICY
WIY, MR problem is that he doesn’t know how to turn it around on his opponent. I do 🙂
True, but I can expand the question. How can men go to bowling alleys at all?
Maybe in your private bowling alley. But how can a man go out to a bowling alley where there might be improperly dressed women bending over? Sounds like unkosher entertainment to me.
If its not tznius for a woman to bowl, then it means than men shouldn’t be around women bowling right? Since bowling alleys don’t have seperate hours, it would seem like “relaxing” would be doing more harm than good.
GAW, in past positions in my company, I was putting in a good 80 hours a week (so 40 hours OT). That was lucky because I was off on Shabbos.
Pre-children. I doubt I could do it now. Although, the money would be nice. It would make yeshiva tuition more affordable.
If you’ve ever watched the PBA (and I have LOL), they don’t bend in a non-tzanua way.
But really, how could any man bowl? Isn’t it 100% assur as its just bittul zman?
Mod80, we don’t allow him to watch Christmas specials. All the other ones are really simple episodes about learning numbers, shapes, directions etc. No athiest messages at least that I’ve caught.
I’m generally right next to him nursing the baby. He watches maybe 1-2X a week.
Really, how is it different than when people let their kids read Mickey Mouse books? There are no commercials. Its pre-taped. And there is nothing wrong with them (unless you consider a duck without pants a problem).
I understand why people filter out TV. But I don’t agree that I am losing my olam habah because of it.
I’ve never watched Barney so I can’t comment on that.
But a down syndrome child has cognitive abilities. They also have normal male/female desires, but often have less inhibition. You would probably want to be even more careful with a child like that.
Mod-80, you never explained what was wrong with a mouse teaching my son shapes.
And FTR, I understand why people don’t allow themselves to watch any (or very minimal) TV. I just think they don’t understand that there are kosher things on TV as well.
Lets call a spade a spade: would you send your children to a school with rumored molestors teaching there but they couldn’t get two solid witnesses?
If your answer is yes, follow Rabbi Klein. If your answer is no, then report the molestors to police.
The worst is when they replace women in pictures with men.
I think I’m going to become the new tznius police.
BTW Mod80, that was a funny parody on the cable stealing broadcasts. Someone must watch (or have watched) stolen cable in their lifetime…hmm…that isn’t tzanua.
Mod80, I’m taking over for MR 🙂
You aren’t bowling properly if you are bending over.
That being said, bowling is 100% not tzanua and no woman should bowl.
I rarely eat on motzei shabbos. I’m usually full from Shabbos.
A variety of vegetables:
sauteed zucchini
baked sweet potatoes
roasted peppers
steamed or baked broccoli
Creamed spinach
salad (any variety)
Corn on the cob
Carrots
Acorn, butternut or spaghetti squash
Roasted beets
Mashed parsnips
Sauteed green beans
Mushrooms
If you are looking for grain/starch alternatives, try:
Couscous
Bulger
Lentils (not quite the same but…)
theprof1, Washington State is beautiful. And there are beaches (I think – but shouldn’t frum people avoid them?) and have great weather in the summer and there were restaurants there when I went (way back when). There are shuls too.
Just become a woman is frum, doesn’t mean she will take good care of your child(ren). Please look at a woman’s qualifications, not her religious status.
We use a non-Jewish daycare that has a ton of frum kids. They are very respectful of only feeding the kids food you bring (or on occasion, foods with a proper hechsher that they talk to you about before). They are warm, loving and teach the kids a ton.
crdle, I’ve been to all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Israel, England, Germany, Italy, Greece, Iceland, Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Japan and Australia.
Hakatan, I have no problem with them doing it, but I don’t need to patronize them.
GAW, the VCR (and the even better DVR) can automatically record whatever you want and you can watch it whenever you want. No need to be a slave to your TV! (OK maybe this doesn’t belong in the thread about how to throw your TV out LOL)
I will do anything to protect my children, including being wary of any suspicions surrounding an accused molestor. Feel free to throw your children to “dan lekaf zechus.”
What’s not nice, we don’t show.
1) Its a waste of electricity
2) There is a lot of religious programming that your kids will inadvertently be exposed to. Do you really want to expose them to that? Many shows have religious episodes (Christmas, Easter etc). Do you want them to be indoctrinated? (does this break your rule?)
3) TV doesn’t inspire creativity in children. Is creates kids who are lumps, don’t use their brains and don’t get excersize because they are sitting there entertained without doing anything.
4) TV is likely to harm your vision if you watch too much.
5) Often, people leave the TV on too loud and can cause partial deafness.
This is fun – I love arguing the other side.
Well, under your faucet is a basin with a drain. The only time its a problem is if the drain gets clogged or the water flow is too much for the drain (if its been designed properly, this is virtually impossible).
Unless you have a faucet draining right into your living room?
Actually, the crux of the argument was wether a computer with internet access where you watch TV or DVDs is any better than a regular TV.
Ah ok, an addition of mine. But if you don’t have a problem with a mouse saying “What shape is this?” then do you not object to Mickey Mouse?
Mod-80, please explain to me how Mickey Mouse helping my son learn colors and shapes is not clean, quality programming. Please tell me what immoral goyish values, thoughts, attitudes and feelings come through from a mouse saying “What shape is that?”
Tuchscreen, we all have water pipes in our house. We have valves and faucets to control it.
What does a young guy need one?
