    I can’t believe this thread made it past 10 posts without aries or oomis arguing with him!

    That’s because there’s nothing to argue about here…

    We eat gefilte night and morning meals.

    For your info, the cheaper brands have more flour and eggs, than fish. I usually buy an expensive one that comes straight from my fish store and it tastes like real fish, not dough.

    We eat it with chrayonnaise/or any other dip.

    I usually make a whole roasted garlic near it and serve with mayonnaise.

    It depends on a thousand things. I don’t see why you need to ask anyone this question, but yourself.

    Aries- I get your point. That is true.

    Speaking about pitocin, I had one of my labors progressing nicely B”H. After a while the dr said that if things don’t move by a half hour, shell give me pitocin to speed things up.

    I said “NO . I will stay here all day and night as long as my baby isn’t in stress, but I won’t take the pitocin.”

    She plain and simple had no patience!!

    I nicely asked her to please stay out of my room until I call her back in!(And you better believe I didn’t call her in until my baby was ready to be born.)

    (I had a doula with me who gave me the confidence to be firm with the dr., otherwise I would just trust the dr’s orders.)

    Unfortunately, many doctors today don’t care about their patients. They care more about their money 🙁

    TMB- after being accused, you better say you were joking. Anyway, maybe it’s a good idea to rehearse your jokes before posting them next time.

    It might actually be very hurtful to someone “who lacks a sense of humor”….

    People like cookie lack a sense of humor. Especially from certain people. Perhaps cookie should try what eclipse did for, say, a month or two. Maybe she’ll smarten up on some humor.

    Now this caused a chuckle 😀

    You can say whatever you want about me, but one thing is for sure, I have a great sense of humor!

    Sorry TMB- you don’t know me well enough yet, so I guess I shouldn’t try what eclipse did. Not quite yet.

    I ONLY thought so because the OP was obviously picking things that people DON’T do and was just giving us a laugh at ourselves (himself included).

    I know people who do some of those things and they are special people and no, they don’t look down at others.

    Midwest- you are very right about those holier than thou people who look down at others. That’s already called being Frum on someone else’s Cheshbon.

    But the things that the OP pointed out, have nothing to do with him and it’s very wrong to ridicule others for trying to be Frum(as long as they respect your ways too.)

    Aries, if a serious problem arises and mother/baby are in danger, the husband isn’t only allowed to give assistance, but he is required to do so.

    Tzvi Hirsch- I totally disagree.

    Jewish couples that get married, have quite an amount of love to their spouse.

    Of course that love grows with time. But children have nothing to do with it.

    I think children challenge every marriage because life becomes hectic with kids. It’s much harder to give full attention to your spouse with a family of kids. Marriage requires a lot more work then.

    HOWEVER, the love only becomes more with each year you are married. You get to know your spouse better, and you share joy and sorrow together.

    TMB- Middos are more important than not owning a TV.

    As I pointed out in previous threads, which you always choose not to answer because you have nothing to say, you like to pick and choose which Halachos you are oh so strict in.

    You don’t have to answer this time either!

    SHAME ON YOU.

    As long as someone’s Frumkeit doesn’t effect you, you have no permission to make fun of them.

    If they’re bothering you, then you can tell them, otherwise, it’s not your business.

    If they decide to walk on the walls for some reason, you cannot poke fun at them either.

    Aries, you’re forgetting about all those people who were in very happy marriages.

    That is, until they saw something/someone online and got pulled into a trap which looked too exciting to resist.

    This is the Churben of the internet.

    It gives innocent people a whole new and very easy way to become influenced and pulled away.

    Kosherlamp is the most brilliant and simple idea someone ever came up with.

    The only way someone can be proud of their Yichus, is if they follow in their ancestors holy ways.

    BP Totty- you make it sound like marriage is all about money and managing your own house.

    That part is the exciting one!

    I think the nervousness comes from the thought, “Will we get along? Will I have very many adjustments to make?”

    It is more a fear of the unknown.

    “A woman will only fall prey to another man if and only if there is trouble in her own home. That will happen with or without internet.”

    Nopes, that’s not always the case at all.

    I know people who had a very good marriage but they CHOSE to be unhappy with themselves and seek happiness somewhere else.

    Usually, these people end up miserable forever. They botch up their life for no reason, and when they move on, they become all miserable again.

    These stories happen to people who don’t think of the consequences.

    True, CC are also good because they build your credit(if paid on time).

    I also like the CC because at the end of each month, we receive the itemized statement of all our spendings and we see exactly where every penny went.

    At the end of the year, we take out all our CC statements and review them. Then we can see where to cut expenses for the next year.

    Again, CC only works if both husband and wife are very strict with it.

    Wolf, I don’t know why my past 2 posts didn’t go through.

    But who are these “posters” to tell you which Gedolim to follow? As long as you feel that you are doing the right thing.

    Heck with all of them.

    Follow YOUR Rav.

    Wolf- I don’t find your hell stories amusing at all.

    You ever heard of the pasuk “Eilu V’eilu Divrei Elokim Chaim”?

    If some people have minhagim or different ways of living, it doesn’t make what you do ASSUR. (Besides if you do things Mamish Kneged the Torah).

    We each have our own ways of serving Hashem.

    If others perform every Segulah and Chumrah, it doesn’t make them better Jews.

    You don’t have to follow everything you hear from every different Rav. You do what your own Rav tells you to.

    So would you pleeeeaaase stop with this nonsense already?
