    I traveled overseas erev Yom Kippur and our luggages got lost withing the airline.

    We spent a frantic 24 hrs worrying if we’ll get our things back in time for Yom Tov(clothing, food…)

    Upon our arrival we shopped for basics that we needed for the day(underwear, a fresh towel, socks, pajamas…)

    A few hrs before Yom Tov we went to the airport and picked up the found luggages.

    One FULL suitcase with ready cooked food went straight to the garbage can.

    It was an experience! Not very spiritual for Erev Yom Kippur!

    I think I got all of your fears 🙁

    roaches, mice, birds, and Im also afraid of those big signs dangling over each corner store on metal rods(with the store name on it)and traffic lights, that they will swing from strong winds Chas Vsholom and fall. Same to bricks from construction sights.

    I also have a terrible fear from sickness.

    Gavra I have an old issue with that. My pressure rises when I think of it. And I have a family of a few small children, yet I never found it necessary to leave them outside unattended and do not understand the mothers that do.

    No pepper just salt.

    I usually cook Kasha when I have a good tasty cooked chicken and I use the sauce of the chicken to pour over the Kasha when serving it.

    GAW- the point is that not everyone does that.

    I was in my pediatrician’s office one day and a non frum babysitter walked in with a child. The receptionist asked whats the child’s name and guess what the babysitter responded? She said, “I dont know!”

    She had zero idea what the child’s name was. She only had the phone number of the mother at work.

    I heard the recetionist call the mother and give her a piece of her mind about her irresponsibility. She said afterwards how the mother wasnt really surprised or sorry about it.

    Wolf and Gavra-

    Sorry if my post came out too strong. I dont mean anything against babysitters. I hire them too.

    What I am trying to say is that MANY of them really dont care too much about kids. I came across some that fell asleep and slept through hours of babysitting. I also witnessed a babysitter who yelled at the kids like a maniac and the mother had no idea. (who knows, maybe she even hit the kids.)

    All Im saying is that when you do leave a babysitter, make sure you know whats going on.

    Any mother who leaves her kids with a babysitter without spying from time to time (no please dont install video cameras in your home), is an idiot.

    They care about their $$$$$ most because thats what amybody with a job cares about. Oh, and yeah, they also care about your kids. They really do.

    Molesters should stop using the excuse that they themselves were molested as a child. It’s not an excuse. They should seek therapy, not other children.

    Reminds me of a joke going around: someone asked a ger what made him become Jewish. He answered because he was molested as a child by one of his people.

    People use this excuse all the time. They go OTD or do other bad stuff, but they have zero excuse.

    We can all find excuses if we really want.

    Esther- giving your child junk won’t make her fat. It will make her SICK chas vsholom. That’s absolutely no excuse.

    Feed her peanut butter, avocado, bread, fatty milk, proteins and SOME snacks etc.

    Please follow your pediatrician’s guidance.

    1. You want to be a healthy mother? You have to lose weight. Think about it when you eat.

    2. Don’t keep extra food in your house. Seriously. Not a single snack. ONLY normal healthy foods.if your kids eat nosh, buy every day only what they need for that day.

    3. Report to someone every little thing you eat. This will make you think twice before you eat.

    Take it from me. I also have no self control. But I find that these 3 are the only things that can keep me in control.

    Hatzlacha!

    EATING FRUIT

    This is informative!

    We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit, cutting it up and popping

    it into our mouths. It’s not that easy. It’s important to know how and when

    to eat fruit.

    What’s the correct way to eat fruit?

    IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUIT AFTER A MEAL! FRUIT SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY

    STOMACH.

    Eating fruit like that plays a major role in detoxifying your system,

    supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life

    activities.

    FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.

    Let’s say you eat two slices of bread, then a slice of fruit. The slice of

    fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but

    it’s prevented from doing so.

    In the meantime, the whole meal rots and ferments, and turns to acid. The

    minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach, and

    digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

    Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal! You’ve heard people

    complain: Every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach

    bloats, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc. This

    will not happen if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with

    the putrefying other food and produces gas. Hence, you bloat!

    There’s no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic,

    because all fruit becomes alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert

    Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct

    way of eating fruit, you have the Secret of Beauty, Longevity, Health,

    Energy, Happiness and normal weight.

    When you need to drink fruit juice drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT the

    concentrated juice from the cans. Don’t drink juice that has been heated

    Don’t eat cooked fruit; you don’t get the nutrients at all. You get only the

    taste. Cooking destroys all of the vitamins.

    Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink

    the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix

    with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit-fast to

    cleanse your body. Eat fruit and drink fruit juice for just 3 days, and you

    will be surprised when your friends say how radiant you look!

    KIWI: Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E

    and fibre. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange!

    AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C

    content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of

    vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack

    and stroke.

    STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total

    antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body from

    cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

    EATING 2 – 4 ORANGESa day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol,

    prevent and dissolve kidney stones, and reduce the risk of colon cancer.

    WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also

    packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune

    system. Also a key source of lycopene, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also

    found in watermelon: Vitamin C and Potassium.

    GUAVA & PAPAYA:Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for

    their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps

    prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your eyes.

    Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!

    Can you believe this? For those who like to drink cold water, this applies

    to you. It’s nice to have a cold drink after a meal, however, the cold water

    will solidify the oily stuff that you’ve just consumed, which slows

    digestion. Once this ‘sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down and

    be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the

    intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is

    best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

    A serious note about heart attacks.

    HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE

    Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the

    left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw. You may never have

    the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense

    sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart

    attack while they’re asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you

    from a sound sleep. Be careful, and be aware. The more we know, the better

    our chance to survive.

    A cardiologist said if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people,

    you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life.

    It caneven be your life!
