    You don’t have to yell- DIVORCED!!!

    If you’re in public, you can whisper it to the “interviewer”!

    If I’d ask those questions and you would lie, I would be more embarrassed if I found out later that you covered up, than if you’d say that you’re divorced.

    I do realize that it’s hard, and my heart goes out to all those who have this problem. But I still think it’s best to say the truth.

    (Sometimes if you know the person will leave you alone after ques #1, you can just shake ur head and say a lil lie!)

    Just a note to all of you out there:

    When you meet someone whom you didn’t meet in years, and you have no idea where they’re up to in life- don’t ask questions.

    What’s your name now?

    Where do you live?

    Do you work?

    How many kids do you have by now?

    Where do ur kids go to school?

    Etc etc…

    These questions seem SO harmless, but you might make the other person very uncomfortable. You can never know what a person is going through in any point of their life.

    2021- you’re best off being honest. Lies always come back to you. It’ll be more embarrassing to make up answers and then people will find out you’re divorced.

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with answering- I’m divorced. Perhaps a bit uncomfortable but it’s not unheard of and crazy. People understand.

    If I would ask someone a question(which is why I never even ask such simple questions), I wouldn’t think it’s awkward of her to answer that she’s divorced.

    Do yourself a favor and stick to the truth.

    Many people who are beautiful become extremely snobby and bigshoty. But many beautiful people remain really special inside!

    I guess we have some of both!

    I don’t think you can block a thought out of your mind. You need help controlling HOW you think about things and how to go about your thoughts.

    Nothing wrong in thinking about him. The question is WHAT you think and what results that brings.

    Possible. It’s also possible that Hashem says YES to your Tefillos but saves it for a future Dor (your child, Einikel…).

    Wolf, it’s not always easy to the right thing. But you did it for Hashem’s Kavod and that is right.

    Also a bit difficult because it involved possibly hurting a man’s feelings.

    Haifa- yeah, it’s weird to me too!

    Some people refer to Shana Rishona couples as Chosson-Kallah, but never heard of keeping that name longer than a year!

    But in your first post you write how this bothers you. Would you care to explain why it does?

    Good morning BP’s!

    Anyone else heard the beeping from 6 in the morning today?

    A night when most children went to sleep waaaay past midnight…

    Flyer- I don’t think it’s right to stop in mid of street and unload the car, even though nobody beeps. That’s also missing a lot of mentchlichkeit.

    NO YOU ARE NOT EXAGGERATING NOW AND I AM YELLING ON TOP OF MY LUNGS.

    BP traffic is crazy. I live off a busy avenue and the Beeping is non stop. I wish I can send a voice note to the CR for all of you to hear.

    Right now, 10:42pm, it’s like day here. Honking and hollering.

    MANY times there’s beeping at 2am and I mean it.

    MANY times there beeping at 5am and I mean it!

    Bla bla bla I’m tired of yelling about it.

    Grandmaster- yes, my kids are young, but I tip them generously anyway. (If they deserve it!)

    The Rebbeim of the younger grades also work very hard.

    When the boys will get older, and I’ll be happy with their Rebbeim IY’H, I hope to give more.

    ChanieE- that what I believe. But everyone should feel free to do what they understand is right.

    (Yes, if the teacher would be 40 yrs old and her hub still in Kollel, I would give more.)

    I give $100 for rebbe.

    $20-$25 for an assistant.

    (The Rebbe does it for a living. A female teacher should only be the second source of income in her home.)

    I think most mothers like their child because it’s their own child. Most mothers love their own children over others, myself included.

    Yoyo- if you return a snobby look (which is ok when they try to be extra friendly), they will leave you alone.

    I have a friend who always said what you’re saying now about boys. But she didn’t even realize that she liked the attention and was being friendly to them too. (She denied that of course, but we saw her talking to them.)

    It’s usually a two way street.

    If he enjoys wine- you can get him an expensive bottle of good wine which you otherwise wouldn’t spend on a weekly basis.

    I think there’s equal amount of work being done, both in Kiruv Rechokim and Kiruv Krovim.

    It’s the only thing that’s really appreciated. They probably have 100 candy dishes already from all the years.

    Send an envelope with cash rather than spend on something. Attach a nice letter to make it personal.

    Feif un- how about, if a collector comes again without the letter, give them a small donation ($1-$5). It will make them happy and you won’t feel guilty that you sent them away empty handed.
