    BPT- that’s the reason I would only take a massage done by a woman!

    Anyway, that kid really sounds bored to have started this thread.

    The difference is if the boy JUDGES from the picture, and he won’t go out with her unless she looks PERFECT, or he just uses the pic to see if the girl look ok enough for him.

    MW- your statement was bad because some singles can be very offended that they must not be smart if they weren’t a “catch” at 18.

    Besides, smart boys/girls are surely a demand, but everyone has their own definition of “smart”. Very often, a not so smart person, makes a smart impression to others because those other people are not too smart and they think this girl/boy is oh so smart.

    Like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, smartness is in the brain of the beholder!

    Msseeker- how are YOU so sure about the truth? Maybe you can convince us with PROOF.

    I have no idea whether the mother is wrong or not. I wish she’s innocent. But I, and many other, have yet to be convinced that’s she is.

    So far the details don’t look too good.

    Not i- if a boy is stupid enough to believe that a picture looks exactly like a real live girl, then he should wait to marry a model.

    Give the girl a chance and meet her personally.

    Or have a family member meet her unofficially(in a grocery, at a wedding etc…).

    Why would she marry a boy who bases his decision on a picture?

    If the boy says “no” because he didn’t like the pic, then she should be happy she didn’t marry him.

    I know someone with this same exact situation.

    They were told a microwave CANNOT be Kashered.

    A new one isn’t too expensive so please go do the right thing!

    Realize how lucky you are that you found out about that Goy warming the food. You couldve never known and just continued using the microwave as is Chas Vsholom.

    And of course, ask your Rav.

    Although you will get many positive examples of family member working together, it doesn’t pay to take the risk.

    For that percent(quite a big percent) that it might not work, just stay away.

    The Vales case didn’t sound too good. For some reason I believe the father was guilty. A child doesn’t get bruised and bitten and then dies from thin air.

    What a sad story.

    I’m just hoping your words are true and she isn’t abusive. Just because she’s a Heimishe woman doesn’t mean she’s mentally ok.

    Are you absolutely positive that the children are happy? Neighbors can be deceived as the kids might be too frightened to reveal that they’re unhappy.

    Also, how do you explain what happened to that 3 year old child whom she’s supposedly starved?

    I hope these accusations are all false, but if there’s any truth to them, then it’s a big problem which must be taken care of.

    P.S. My heart goes out for her that she stayed paralyzed from the birth. This is really sad and I hadn’t heard about it before.

    Ok 2qwerty:

    Just finished reading up on cleaning silver with baking soda. They all write that it can ruin the silver and it should be used only sparingly.

    The store bought silver polish is the best solution for silver cleaning.

    I think about this when I am frightened about something. (For example walking myself on the street late at night).

    I think: Hashem is in charge and I am helpless. If something has to happen, it will happen, so I have nothing to worry about.

    Hashem is the boss and will decide if I should stay safe or not. Since I can’t help it, why worry!

    You should keep in mind that this was Bashert. There is nothing you can do!

    Hopefully, your daughter will live a very happy life, but in the event that it turns out differently, you should know that was also Bashert.

    Besides, that if you have other children, you will anyway have some DIL/SIL you will love everything about them, and others that you might be disappointed with.

    As long as you’re daughter is happy, you should definitely be happy!

    Cherrybim- I once wanted to invest in real estate. The building had the basement reserved for worship and church meetings. We were told by a big Rav that we can’t be the owners of such a place.

    Popa- even with a true identity,the posters here don’t really know each others so I wouldn’t take insults to heart.

    You can’t know the whole person from some of their posts, so insults aren’t always on target.

    I don’t think you should come and tell them Drashos and Mekoros.

    When a family has a Tzara, they can’t think about reasons and Cheshbonos why it’s happened. They only think about their loss.

    Best Nechama is to cry with them and show them your pain.

    Later on, when the wounds are not so open anymore, you can help them think about all these things.

    That’s just my humble opinion.

    Just keep in mind- whatever you design for them,(even pritzus clothing nebach), will eventually creep into our Jewish sisters.

    ALL styles are brought into our communities.

    Because yeshivish people ought to behave better. They certainly have been taught the importance of good midos.

    I completely disagree.

    Within every community, you’ll find all types of people. And if you only met yeshivish/chasshidish people who DON’T know how to behave, then you gotta meet some more of them.

    Don’t stereotype!

    While I agree with your post, I find this happening by yeshivish, modern and even non jewish people alike. Depends on personality and Middos. Just wondering why you’re accusing only yeshivish people.

    Another rule I have to add:

    NEVER eat while you’re talking on the phone.

    If there’s any qualified single who’s a good speaker, she’ll have many listeners.

    When I join a speech, I don’t inquire about the speaker’s marital status. If she’s good, I listen!

    I’m wondering where you take your assumption from.
