Dveykus- why don’t people have a choice when they swim? You’re used to it that we swim in bathing suits. But it’s wouldn’t be terrible to swim with long sleeves and socks.
I’m not saying we should do that but I think they’re very similar.
If it’s woman only, then I don’t know if there’s a problem.but I’m not a LOR 🙂
Well if you swim in a bathing suit, then why is exercising in a FEMALE ONLY group different?
Lol and I thought it’s some kind of computer graphic.
Sheefa links-quite graphical!
Mazel tov! That’s cute!
You’re best option would be to speak to someone in this field.
I hope you use the trans fat free marg.
Old problem, old discussion. You’re 100% right.
I found that jnet blocks anything kosher and let’s through many very non-kosher stuff.
You bet I’ll enjoy the peace and quiet here in the city.
Good shabbos.
Littleema- yours sounds nice too!
I just don’t like the look of the coil. It makes the challah look commercial. A braided round challah IMO is more appealling to the eye!
Ok jl- try this:
Roll out 4 strands and leave the center of the strand a little thicker than the sides(should look like a small bump).
Put 2 strand downward side by side of each other.
Put 1 strand across-on top of those two.
Put the last strand downward again on top of all.
Now you shoud have 3 strands going downward and 1 strand across.
Now braid the two ends that have 3 strands like a simple braid.
Now it should look like one braid going downward and a single strand across.
Then you fold under the top braid under the challah(very loosely), and also fold under the bottom part of the braid underneathe the challah.
Fold each side of the single strand under the challah too.
Now the challah should look somewhat round. When placed in a round pan and baked, you get a BEAUTIFUL round, braided Challah.
It’s a lot more simple than it sounds! I did it yesterday for the first time and I’m so proud of them!
Pardon my ignorance, but what is biofeedback?
Hey, mazel tov! Now THAT is the happiest feeling in the world!
You’re keeping it a secret or something??!!
jl-How did you braid them?
When I bake my own challos!!
It’s not so much the child’s spiritual welfare I’m worried about. It’s more their emotional being.
A child who’s placed in a foster home is a big pity. Their emotional being doesn’t stay the same.
P.s.
Helpful, that’s what I thought. It’s not gonna do good to the child if they’re parents get reported
Sorry about my BAD spelling mistake I made in an earlier post!
Mazel tov! That’s some nice news in the CR!
I’m really happy for you!!
Someone said she once had a caller asking about another girl: “if this and this girl was an animal, which animal do you think she would be?”
Sorry, don’t recall what her response was.
Helpful, that’s what I thought. It’s not gonna do good to the child if they’re parents get reported.
We gotta work with other solutions.
Someone asked me to get a paper with my friends handwriting for her.
While many of you will say that’s typical and normal, I think it’s absurb and pure geneivas daas.
Wearing a shell underneath something gross doesnt make it kosher.
You couldn’t have said it better.
I KNEW it aint loshon horah. When someone write loshon horah, they don’t spell it out so clearly…they usually deny it.
I mean, yes, their bitachon is beautiful, but that is horrendously irresponsible!
That is not bitachon. It is pure irresponsibility and relying on Hashem for a nes which one shouldn’t do.
Sister bear- and what if some stranger comes up to them? Its not only a matter of running into the street. There are many more dangers to being alone in the street.
Rescue- there’s a major difference between protecting your children and overprotecting them.
If you walked streets alone as a young child, it doesn’t make it right. And same goes to 6 year olds who stay outside without supervision.
Were not talking about 13 year olds here. These are young children. They should NEVER be left alone.
Besides that it’s illegal and the parents can get into trouble.
Apushata-i will definitely not scare her by walking off with one of her kids even just to teach her a lesson.
As far as calling child services, I wouldn’t do it to her. The streets are full of young children playing alone. I think all these mothers need some lessons.
Oomis, I have a relative whose kids live in the streets. They play outdoors WITHOUT SUPERVISION every free minute.
She just believes that she is the busiest mother and her kids just can’t be in the house!
I asked her the following question:
“If someone would pass by and walk off with your child chas vsholom, how long would it take you to realize that? (She doesn’t even check up on them once in a while).”
Her answer?” Well Hashem should just protect them….”
This is what I call putting youself into danger and relying on a nes.
Oomis, I think your husband should have mentioned something to the grandfather very politely.
Anyway, this is an old problem. It’s terrible and we see it everywhere. But you won’t change the world.
Many children live on a ness!!
Wolf, I have a question.
When I walk down the streets I meet many litvish, or MO people and nobody says gut shabbos to me. How come? I thought you said it was rude?
Just wondering if it’s really as proper and accepted as you make it sound.
Sjs I had a good laugh. You said you would sit with your child and talk about ruining other’s property.
Most children won’t sit so calmly and listen. Many children will run away. They are not scared and don’t have too much respect.
What would you do then?
Your son seems to be a very calm and obeying child. But MANY kids aren’t born like that. Many kids are born with a lot more energy, stubbornness and a nature for mischeif.
Lamdan- now that’s funny! Especially that you ended up getting married!
CC-thank you so much for posting because I just realized this 30% off from them lately and I wanted to subscribe. But I didn’t because I wasn’t sure I can cancel if I’m not happy with that service.
Now I can go ahead and sign up and save!
My class was like that. We really weren’t too close with each others. Even the last day wasn’t THAT emotional!
However, once we were out, and working, and getting married, we really started missing each others, believe it or not!
We look oh so forward to our annual class reunion and that is when the nostalgia comes!
And cliques? All girls belonging to cliques, even the biggest snobs, become much friendlier when they grow up a little. Everyone matures at some point. Many of them leave their cliques because it doesn’t work for them as they move on in life, and many girls stay very close knit but also become friendlier with others.
The end of the challah definitely has a mekor but I’m not sure where.
It can cuz forgetfullness for MEN when learning if they eat it. But oomis, since you’re female, you can continue enjoying that piece of challah!
Wolf- in all seriousness- if you sometimes feel like it, then why don’t you make sure to change?
Am I missing something here? You sometimes TRULY feel like a lowlife heretic but you seem to be quite ok with it?
Wolf- do you truly believe you’re a low life heretic?
SACRILEGE: gedolim often said those things because they really believed that about themselves. They don’t believe that they are gedolim.
But wolf is just saying it because he feels that if he does things that others don’t, then he’s looked down at.
That is exactly what bothers me. Even if I don’t know the guy.
When others keep less Chumros than we do, we don’t look down at them they may even be better jews.
I am from very ultra frum circles but I believe that every Yid that keeps all aspects of Halacha, is just as good as me(or even better).
Bomb- you can anytime discuss how to spell the word “the”…
(** Not that R. Chaim or anyone else would want to eat a meal with a low-life heretic like me.)
Wolf- just so that you should know, it is Assur to say Loshon Hora about yourself. So if this is true, you are being over on Loshon Hora. Otherwise it’s motzei shem ra.
So please stop talking about yourself like that. You keep doing it.
It really bothers me btw.
My problem with people making things into “strong chumros” so much so that the lay man (or kids) cant differentiate them between a chumra and halacha is thats where I believe the Kids-At-Risk comes into play
Couldn’t have said it better. Children today are VERY CONFUSED….and all adults who throw chumros around unnecessarily are at fault.
Mod, I’m rereading your post now. I think I misunderstood. However, I’m still not fully understanding your point. But since it wasn’t directed to me, you don’t have to re-explain.
Mod- are you denying the fact that many youths feel resentment to yiddishkeit for this reason that everything becomes assur?
People take perfectly ok things and label them ASSUR. If you do those things then you are looked down at.
In some communities it’s shorts, in some it’s colored shirts, women driving, etc…
When people see that they are from the “lower” group, but they are doing everything 100% muttar, then they become resentful…
Loon mountains has many houses up for weekly rentals.
We stayed there and it was beautiful! (Beware of bears at night though, keep your garbage in).
There are many different attraction there. I don’t remember the specifics but I do know that we loved every minute.
Don’t go for less than a week. There’s too much to cover there!
ENJOY!!
Smartcookie, I think your on to something here.
Mazel: what do you mean by that?
If you look back, we have quite a few such threads already. I’m getting confused from so many similar threads!
or maybe – depends who the father is & who the son is..
Of course it does…that should be the first question.
Are you answering your own question??
Funny, to me it seems as if p3 maven is jaime and she’s trying to advertise herself.
Pardon if this is a repeat:
Worrying is like a rocking chair; pacing back and forth but not getting anywhere…
So did you chap as in realize or did you chap literally…:-)
Whats the phrase? I know it ends “…now is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present” (hey, its better than remembering the beginning!)
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow’s a mystery
Today is a gift,
That’s why it’s called the present.
