    Someone please explain HOW you can live in one house with a cat or dog? I can’t even walk past them outdoors!

    I understand you get attached to them. But how? And why?

    The OP is 100 percent right. Boys and adults are putting themselves into danger. There was a Yungerman who passed away two years ago on purim after damaging his liver from too much alcohol.

    IT IS NOT A JOKE.

    Wolf is NOT Canine no way. Opposites attract maybe that’s why you think they’re one.

    Sushi- when brushing with an egg, it also gives the Challah a nice shine when baked.

    Cherry- it’s so simple! After brushing the egg, you sprinkle sesame seeds in some spots, and poppy seeds in the other spots, according to your liking!

    I wear a skirt to the gym, but with leggings underneath. I just need that skirt coverup to hide my not so skinny body!

    It nauseates me when woman wear plain leggings and they’re more than size 6.

    Observ- I think it depends if it’s through busy streets where people can look into your car anytime, or if it’s through small empty streets.

    The point is that people don’t know that this might be a BIG problem in Yichud.

    I live in an elevator bldg. I constantly ride with men. It’s not Yichud because it can anytime open at ANY floor if a neighbor on any floor rang for it.

    Anyway- riding in a car late at night with a man (dating), has a biggur Shailoh in Yichud than elevators.

    i dont think anyone gets divorced after 60 year

    Chayav- I actually know of 2, over 60 year old woman who very recently left their abusive husbands. They waited it out until they married off their kids.

    The person definitely has to change himself. But sometimes it’s good to have a mentor to guide him and open his mind in the right direction.

    I personally, like to learn from my own experiences, or experiences from close family/friends, rather than professionals.

    But his Bubby playing is so fake. I think that’s what bothers me. I absolutely HATE corny jokes.

    Tums- nobody based oe started the marriage with those thoughts. It’s just my own thoughts I shared with you! Anyway, If you marry someone THAT close, you gotta think all around it. Of course we only try to stay with positive thoughts (and Tefillos!)

    When it comes to THIS discussion, the more appropriate line is one I saw some years ago on an Israeli anti-smoking poster. It said… Al Tiftach Peh l’SARTAN! – YW Mod.

    Tums- about 19. It was very interesting.

    The Wedding consisted of only one side! One family of Mechatunim! The kallah grew up with her new family and didn’t have to get to know them!

    How boring!

    I personally cannot understand wht happens if such a marriage doesn’t work out Chas Vsholom.

    I think it’s a bit of immaturity. Most adults wouldn’t want private messages from their spouse to become public.

    I would ask my rav if I’m supposed to give this info to the girl. I imagine it is Assur if it really isn’t Shayach today anymore and he’s a goos person now.

    I guess each case should be judged individually.

    Sometimes it’s not important to reveal something, and sometimes there’s divorce because something was hidden from either spouse.

    Of course, you hve to understand, that in most Shuls, Megillah is a time you hve to come early and CATCH a seat(bec so many woman are there).

    These girls were definitely acting without much mentchlichkeit, but you gotta realize that they couldve come an hour early to get a seat.

    Peerim- covering a duaghter’s head when bentching her has nothing to do with Tnius. We do it because touching the scalp can make the father’s hand Tamah (as you mentioned above).

    Aries- I’m not sure how to answer that. I think I would ask my Rav if I should say the info or just try to cover up and discourage the Shidduch in some other way.

    If the Shidduch would be very close, I would MAKE SURE they know such an important detail before they close on it. (Obviously, only if allowed according to Halacha)
