    Ok you made me feel better! Myself- individualy, I wasn’t a major problem BH, but I was worried you have something against a class in general.

    I didn’t keep up with you, and you probably don’t even know me.

    I think you taught me in 2004. (It was the only year you were in my school.)

    Mytake- every single marriage that DOES work out needs a lot of work. Every marriage has some stories behind it!

    As someone once mentioned- a happy marriage is the best thing in the world, but if you’re unhappy, it’s gehinom.

    Don’t worry- it’ll work!

    Bina- as the saying goes: marriage is NOT a hospital. (And having a baby together is not a medication for emotional problems.)

    Some people think marriage and having a child will solve everything.

    Rezdy- why are you doing me a favor? I hired you and we’re even. I’m paying you and if you don’t want to take the job, I’ll hire someone else without a problem.

    I’d say good shabbos to either gender, if they’re CR members.

    I always use Cholov Yisroel, it osnt even an issue for me.

    Never found it hard. I guess cuz I’m used to it.

    Funny how so many of you agree on the Golden Flow. I didn’t think it was so obvious.

    Observe- I don’t get the point of your question.

    I know of many such cases. Such people are not fit to be a Rabbi. I don’t care who calls them Rav.

    If it would happen to my Rav(never would!), then I would lose my whole respect for him.

    I WISH you were right. It’s heartbreaking.

    I’m Chassidish, and I cannot count how many such stories there are in our community.

    Very unfortunate, but perhaps you don’t know everything that’s going on around you. Better this way.

    Rezdy- I pay you to babysit, not to eat.

    (I always prepare something, but if a babysitter would order her food/drinks like that, I wouldn’t take her in again.)

    Anyway, you should start polishing your grammar/english skills while you babysit.

    Sjs- don’t act so ignorant. No one here is talking about uncovered elbows. There’s a waaaaay bigger transgression of tznius out there. Not elbows, not knees.

    It’s terrible.

    Just as a btw, I was by a frum dr. in the morning and was horrified at the lady working there. Many frum men aattend that office, and to see this lady there is BAD. And, no, I will not explain how she looked.

    Or for a bubby to pretend to be a bochur?

    You mean, for a Bachur to make believe he’s a Bubby. Chayav’s a very young Bochur alright. He’s got a lot to learn in life until he becomes a Bubby.

    I am not advocating anything, nor making any judgments. I am simply adding up the sum of the previous posts.

    Poppa- that’s why we have a Torah which tells us that a WOMAN may not dress inappropriately in any circumstance.

    Come on- don’t act dumb. Inappropriate doesn’t mean wearing huge rags, and smelly ones at that. Everything has its limit.

    Aries you just proved my point. You say the problem is that some men lack commitment. But think- what does that come from? From the women who want to be seen…they are USUALLY the cause to why the men lose commitment and cant control their minds to do what’s right.

    Aries- nobody’s denying that men are out for Shiktzas too. But when they see our Heimishe, Frum woman looking a certain way, they think it’s ok to look like that.

    (When with a shiktzah, they know it’s wrong and don’t expect their own wives to look/act that way.)

    Please don’t deny this problem. Obviously, the ultimate fault is the man’s fault. But it’s the WOMAN’S Tznius that brings problems upon the men. They bring the Yetzer Hora and make it very difficult for men to keep their eyes to themselves.

    Maybe you just don’t look out enough. Wait until the winter jackets come off and then tell me if it’s a normal situation out there.

    Aries- goy’tes aren’t half aas bad. When a man sees a untznius goy’ta, he knows it’s totally not in his reality.

    When he sees a frun woman looking very attractive, he may think “why doesn’t my wife look like her too?”

    This isn’t a major divorce reason. But it definitely creates A LOT of problems in our community.

    Ofcourse- it’s not the problem of men’s eyes “roaming”.

    It’s a major problem of woman dressing like models. They are screaming to everyone out there- look at me.

    Even I, as a woman, sometimes stare at people and can’t believe how they’re dressed.

    Eclipse- we need more women with common sense.

    Rules don’t work. People just have to do what they feel is right and stop fooling themselves. (This tshirt is SO NOT tight….uhu….)

    And many woman convince themselves that it’s Lshem Shomayim- they dress very


    for their hubbies. But they’re forgetting that on the street they are in public.(And hubby is usually at work then anyway!)

    Of course- the Torah doesn’t tell us to wear Burkahs. The torah tells us certain guidelines which we must follow. But I don’t always see that happening either.

    I think the women today are too outgoing. They stroll the streets being dressed to the T. The Tznius today is BAD and the street is always full of woman.

    Sadly, the men see all these dressed up ladies, MANY of them walking in a flirting way, and it doesn’t do good to his own marriage….

    I think this ruins many marriages, and I personally know of a few such tragic marriages. Correct me if I’m wrong please.

    Chyav- start reading simple English books. A lot of them.

    That should improve your English significantly.

    Balabatish means well off (and not linving stingy). Balabuste is just a woman who cooks bakes and cleans well (like myself!!)
