    I did a pickled french roast:

    Sauted a bunch of diced onion and garlic.

    Place roast into pot. Add water to cover half of roast.

    Cook for 3-4 hrs on small flame.

    Yum!!

    (When it’s cooled, freeze for an hour and then slice it.)

    Halachically, you only need to tell them if the business owner is a Jew.

    But you did right. I would do that too and have done so in the past.

    Isn’t a Kiddush Hashem worth 30 bucks?

    I donno, now you got me thinking why I was punished so harshly for that. They put me in one corner and my partner in crime in another corner. Well well…I turned out fine!

    I know, BPT. Please don’t shame me here in public! I tramed up with another kid and together we grabbed away a different girl’s snack 🙁

    I remember it so clearly…the plan…the shame…the remorse…all from a little kindergarden kid!

    Health-

    Mod 80 took the words out of my head about back to sleep. I don’t believe that their studies were all proven that babies died ONLY because they slept on their back. Sleeping on the stomach doesn’t put baby into danger. Otherwise I wouldn’t do it.

    You’re not a mom and will never be since you’re a male, but sometimes we do know better than dr.s. It’s something we just cannot explain.

    And no, I’m not so smart at all, but I do know how to care fore children.

    May Hashem protect us all.

    Health- as a side note- I watched 2 different newborns recently laying on their back and choking while spitting up. They couldnt swallow and it was choking them. If i wouldnt realize in both incidents, Im scared to think of the consequences.

    A person has to do Hishtadlus. As long as we’re not putting ourselves into danger(stomach sleeping isnt dangererous or crazy), then Hashem will watch us.

    I really didnt want to hijack this thread, Sorry MII!

    Health- I follow dr.s’ orders when I don’t know something myself. Yes, I give immunization because I as the mother feel it’s important. But when it comes to day to day things, we do what we understand. We know our babies best!

    Yes, I put my newborns to sleep on their stomach :O

    MII- years ago I had pneumonia with crazy chest pains, weakness, and I thought I can’t feel worse than that. Years later I gave birth to my first baby and felt so terrible, that I couldn’t imagine feeling worse than that.

    Now, that you’re experiencing both together, I could so well understand why you’re crying:)

    I hope that my understanding of your situation makes you feel somewhat better!

    Mother- I’m surprised you’re worried about your crying since this isn’t your first baby. U should know that this is completely normal. Your baby is 9, that’s NINE days old. You are lacking sleep and koach tremendously. Your hormones are flying. At 9 MONTHS I’d worry.

    Just relax and try to get some sleep(yeah, I know…..)

    And get your baby to start smiling so you’ll feel better!!

    Mazel Tov and lots of Nachas.

    Most of us here are very polite and pleasant even when arguing. The rudeness come from specific posters who think they’re always right and that they have a green light to insult others.

    The overall atmoshphere is pretty friendly I have to say.

    It’s a Halacha to cover one’s hair when married. Doesn’t make it right to put on a very beautiful, natural looking looking Sheitel, but that’s a whole different story.

    AYC- I would definitely not allow one poster’s rude comments effect me. Most of us really try to be polite around here, and you shouldn’t leave because of one person.

    That said, please continue posting here. I am enjoying your posts immensly, specifically your sense of humor. No, I’m not trying to make you feel better! I’m really entertained by your humorous posts, and quite impressed with your serious ones.

    While I feel terrible for these Bochurim, I wouldn’t blame the Japanese justice system.

    They didn’t know they have drugs with them, true, but the fact is that they entered the country with illegal material.

    Japan has the full right to punish them, no matter how much it hurts us.

    I,too, Davened so much for them to be freed, and I wish they wouldn’t have to suffer these consequences. They so didn’t want to do bad. My heart goes out to them as I continue praying for them.

    But blame Japan? I don’t think it’s right. They’re just punishing an illegal act. Something that is a very terrible crime in that country.

    Hashem should help them get through this crisis easily and quickly.

    Stop judging before you heard two sides of the story. I don’t accept that the Yeshiva just expels like that. For all we know they warned the boy a hundred times before.

    We won’t know the truth and the CR cannot help you other than listening to your venting!
