smartcookieMember
Yup cucumber- that my little baby has a new word. She started loving cucumbers and calls them cumbercumber…
Yeah I know it aint THAT funny!
smartcookieMemberhey cookie do i know you from somewhere???????????
Hhhmmm…and I thought you’re talking to me.
I HATE when people choose screen names so similar to others 🙁
smartcookieMemberYou 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!)
smartcookieMember2021-do you agree with my post or was that one big lecture?
smartcookieMembersmartcookieMemberJust 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.
smartcookieMember2021- 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.

Pop- I can’t stop laughing 😀
smartcookieMemberAaahhh!! This thread brings back some memories!
smartcookieMemberMany people who are beautiful become extremely snobby and bigshoty. But many beautiful people remain really special inside!
I guess we have some of both!
smartcookieMemberI 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.
smartcookieMemberCall 311 and complain about a lousy job.
smartcookieMemberMetro- LOL- that’s why there’s a mitzvah to sleep in your Succah, so you shouldn’t hear their singing from your back rooms 😉
smartcookieMemberPossible. It’s also possible that Hashem says YES to your Tefillos but saves it for a future Dor (your child, Einikel…).
smartcookieMemberYoyo- PLEASE go seek help. Please do. I’m serious.
smartcookieMemberWolf, 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.
smartcookieMemberYes, many times. Sometimes not though.
smartcookieMemberHaifa- 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?
smartcookieMemberGood 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…
smartcookieMemberWolf- think about it that you did it for Hashem and not for yourself.
smartcookieMemberMetro- were your bedrooms to the back of the house or to the front? My bedroom windows are straight above 13th!
smartcookieMemberPBA- Mazel Tov to your new daughter… When’s the Kiddush?
smartcookieMemberI’m not addicted but I’m here! Checking in quickly b4 going to sleep if I’m not missing anything major here!
A Freilichen Purim to all!
smartcookieMemberGoq- I don’t drive! 🙂
smartcookieMemberShoots. And I figured this thread is announcing one of the CR’s engagement.
smartcookieMemberFlyer- 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.
smartcookieMemberThrowing eggs at cars is worse than honking.
BPT- those are wise words!
smartcookieMemberChayav- typical Bubby food. Now we confirmed you’re a Bubby….
smartcookieMemberNO 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.
smartcookieMemberGrandmaster- 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.)
smartcookieMemberWolf- go grab a Hamantash. Tell us when you’re done!
I like to break my fast on water, then OJ.
smartcookieMemberI 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.)
smartcookieMemberI think most mothers like their child because it’s their own child. Most mothers love their own children over others, myself included.
smartcookieMemberYoyo- 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.
smartcookieMemberYoyo- you MUST tell your parent.
smartcookieMemberObservant- you always came across to me as a boy. Well well.
smartcookieMemberWhichever mod you are:
Thanks for the morning laugh! Were you up all night distributing names??
smartcookieMemberObserve- why don’t you suggest some subtitle for yourself?!
smartcookieMemberAnonymrs- this is very interesting. Do you know what Heter you have not to wait? Is it only the women? I really wonder what’s behind it cuz I never heard of someone not waiting.
smartcookieMemberCommonsense- true. But many teenagers here post about normal, serious life discussions.
smartcookieMemberSorry- most of us post like mature adults.
smartcookieMemberYeah but maybe about things other than wine and being Bubby.
We’d love your input, but it’s time to get more serious. Most of us are adults here.
March 14, 2011 10:58 pm at 10:58 pm in reply to: hisachdus (crc) hechsher on baking products #750072smartcookieMemberMake a trip to any Heimishe grocery and youll see in a minute.
smartcookieMemberShticky let’s never give up hope
Because the limericks really help me cope
Gives me the smile for the day
So let’s make this thread stay
definitely better than discussing dating sephardim not in your scope!
smartcookieMemberIf he enjoys wine- you can get him an expensive bottle of good wine which you otherwise wouldn’t spend on a weekly basis.
smartcookieMemberWhatru- if I were you I would ignore some of the ridiculous posts here. Some people are just impossible.
Not even worth a response at all.
smartcookieMemberZeeskite I’m with you. I think I may have slept a full two hrs this night! I had this ugly itch in my throat that didn’t let me sleep.
Baruch Hashem for little grumps!
smartcookieMemberI think there’s equal amount of work being done, both in Kiruv Rechokim and Kiruv Krovim.
Both are very important and we need more people to be involved in the work!
smartcookieMember$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
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.
smartcookieMemberFeif 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.
