    Jewishness- nobody disagrees with you that what the secular people do isn’t bad. But it doesn’t mean that THEY bring Tzaros to us. We can’t change them anyway. We may as well change ourselves.

    All you can do is pray for them that they do Tshuva.

    Happiest- does it happen out of the blue, or only specific times when it is triggered by something?

    (I don’t mean to be nosy, I’m just trying to become familiar with the condition.)

    Observant- the OP is specifically blaming Israeli people for their sins:

    If the victims’ family members read this post, it’s horrible for them. They feel that the OP is blaming the victims even though I’m sure he isn’t blaming them.

    When there’s a Tzaroh- we each have to improve OURSELVES. It’s not in place then to go around telling people who brought this Tzaroh.

    (Maybe Hashem is more intolerant of our Loshon Hora/Tznius, than others’ Chilul Shabbos. We really cannot know.)

    We’re all at fault and it’s up to each individual to know why.

    Grand- I do not recall exact details. But he did have to attend in non leather sneakers. He couldn’t eat at the meal.

    Dancing he was only allowed if someone shlepped him in to the circle.

    Cshapiro- are you really serious about the football player part? (About the rich/gorgeous, I know ur serious!)

    I’m wondering if that’s what you have in mind or it’s just a joke that you keep replaying here?

    Cshapiro- I know a rich, gorgeous, football player who’s looking for a girl.

    He can sometimes be abusive, he’s very selfish, and not too bright.

    Would you consider? We can switch info if yes.

    Jewish- you’re comment was written in a very inappropriate timing.

    You are correct in saying that Tzaros come from our sins. But you should preach this on a nice and sunny day. Not when a family is broken and in so much pain. It’s like blaming the victims for their death.

    You are causing them extra pain.

    When a Tzaroh comes Lo Aleinu- you just cry along and Daven, and do Tshuva privately for YOUSELF.It is NOT a time for preaching.

    Besides that- are you so so stringent in Hilchos Loshon Hora? In every detail of Hilchos Shabbos? Tznius? Honoring your parents? Making Shalom? All other Mitzvohs?

    We can never know which sins we are being punished for, and it’s therefore not our job to accuse people.

    Everyone has to improve in their own little way. When you’ll be perfect, you’ll change the world.

    BPT- true, the bad fats are still there…

    I recently bought a container of natural PB in Pomegranate. Tasted like pure blended peanuts, but was very bland. For some reason it nauseated me. You can have it gladly if you wanna try it;)

    For some reason, I would also hve a bigger problem sitting near a Frum Male, than a Non Jewish male.

    My father sat shiva when I got married. (Makes me sad to think about it.)

    He was allowed to attend my wedding with certain limits and Halachos. My Sheva Brachos he wasn’t allowed to attend until Shiva was over.

    My heart really went out for him.

    BP girl- first of all- next time you do bake- try baking bottoms coated in mayonnaise and corn flake crumbs. Much healthier and delicious.

    I cook chicken a lot- line the pot with sliced onions, place chicken skin side down. Add water to cover chicken, spices.

    Cook 2 hrs.

    Another idea- if you have a good non stick teflon pot.

    Place chicken in the pot(leave the skin on)- skin side DOWN. Don’t add a thing. Put on tiny flame and let it cook in its own water. Add a tiny water as needed.

    Cook until it becomes browned and crispy.

    I am here- na, I’m not that much of a smart cookie. Just liked that name. (I do think I’m smart enough to bake!)

    For all those dessert pies- YUM and thank you! However, I’m looking for a pie as a side dish rather than a dessert.

    The pies with different filling may be interesting, but I need to hear from someone who made it. No time for flops now!

    If anyone has an idea to make a simple pie look nice/different- that’s also fine. I just don’t want to make a typical apple pie. I wanna show some effort!

    Wolf- I can’t help you with this, but just something for NEXT time. In the future, please arrange with them approximate timing- (approx 5 hrs, instead of 5 hrs). Will save us all some trouble.

    Why don’t you go over to the “employer” and tell him if you’re 15 min break was ok?

    1. My young daughter asked why on pesach do we only have a seder night and dont also have a bubba night.

    That is absolutely adorable!

    2. When my son was very small, he asked why are the middle days of pesach called ‘challa moed’ when surely they should be called ‘matza moed’.

    I think every child asks this question at some point. It really is confusing for them!

    How innocent!

    I think BTs are better off in more modern circles anyway because their Derech isn’t as extreme as the Chassidim.

    Msseeker- they all have young kids/no kids yet.

    I do know one family(geirim), they became very frum, belonging to a Chassidus. The kids SEEM to be doing fine. But I wouldn’t know as a fact.

    With Shidduchim you’re right, but I don’t think they’ll have it easier in a more modern surrounding.
