Oomis you’re 100% right!!
Just one thing about water filters- copepods or not, its good to have a filter for the sake of cleanliness. When I take my filter off to clean, IT IS BROWN, with disgusting dirt on it.I like a filter for that reason.
But kosher lpesach napkins? Not for me!!!
BH: if I’d be you I wouldn’t make fun.
While I also believe that half of these hechserim are very exaggerated, I still believe that people use them.
They’re only meant to make our halachos easier and they shouldn’t bother you .
I just ignore these extreme things and buy the ones w/o the hechsher. But I never make fun of others’ frumkeit.
Ronrsr: by fri eve you mean at night on shabbos? Do you have a meal then too?
Ok were doing good…we should all print this list and frame it!!
Shabbos is family time in my house. No work. Kids get to spend time with tatty and mommy, and we get to visit zeidy and bubby!!
Hereorthere- that is a very big problem. Todays days people are so into “learning” that they forget about middos.
A top boy is a boy that learns all day but top middos is not so amazing to people.
We had a family member in the hospital recently. The chesed and ahavas yisroel was tangible.
So many organizations which are staffed with people that give up their life for chesed. These people help out ANYTIME at no cost.
I have no words to describe it!!
Mi keamcha yisroel!!
OOMIS- I can’t get over that story with your son. It teaches a great lesson.
I’m just oh so curious what answer you gave that mother? How did you respond to her careless, dumb attitude?
YES!! And I thought the prob is with my computer!!
if I remember correctly I think there were some in the “good shabbos” thread.
Hey…is that me you guys are talkin’ about? Hhhmmm….
True, while dating you are definitely supposed to have some comfortability, but so comfortable that silence should feel absolutely normal? Hhhmmm. I guess it depends on individuals.
Funny that you also discussed the silence.I thought I was the only crazy one.
MYBAT- I disagree with you. A date is not supposed to have comfortable silence. That would mean that the boy and girl are becoming a bit too comfortable with each others. At this stage (while dating), they shouldn’t become so comfortable with each others that silence should feel normal. I just don’t think it’s right.
Another thing, what do you say to discussing the silence? Like, I hope you don’t mind the silence but its ok with me if me don’t speak every second…I think that would make both of them feel comfortable with the silence.
Haifagirl-policeman men carry guns for emergency. They will not shoot if you didn’t take your cpr course!
I was the one who made that comment about making a law to learn cpr. That doesn’t mean that it should be done with force. Rather it should be a requirement that people over a specific age group must attend a course.
There should be some kind of a consequence for those who don’t follow. For example:
Low income pple can’t receive govt funding until they attend a course and pass the exam, and higher income pple should have to pay compensation.
It can also be made a requirement for immigrants if they want to become US citizens.
I think its important but that’s just my opinion.
This can only be to our benefit.
Oh I believe you!! I’ve had quite a few of those awkward silent moments when we couldn’t find what to say(and neither of us is too quiet).
Now the problem is that we don’t have the time to talk!!!
And what is wrong with a moment silence. You don’t need to speak every second. Take a minute to think. After all, you’re two new people that are TRYING to find what to talk about to each others!! If only people would learn to act like their honest self on dates…
Yup one and two are long over. Actually, two was closed lately and we’re heading over to three!! Many more to come!!
Oh and many more.

Well I definitely recognize ur name so I guess welcome back!
WOLF: in the chassidishe circles it’s very different. The boy and girl just meet once or twice for a very formal talk.
Automatically, if the conversation is kept formal(so not to bring closeness between a boy and girl), then the conversation doesn’t flow too good.
Therefore, it has been accepted that the boy starts, and the conversation continues from there. Otherwise it would be awkward to meet and just wait until one starts to talk.
Wolf- its disrespectful because its the accepted thing that the boy starts.
BODEK- in chassidishe circles boys do not start with a ‘vort’! Please!!
It is true that the boys starts the talking but no dvar torah!
Realtalk- how about some sugar free, low calorie ices? That should be refreshing.
Estherh: I like what you wrote about going to learn first aid/cpr. I think this is really a must whether one has free time or not.
I’m waiting for the day that they will make it a requirement by law. Maybe then our world will be a bit safer.
Health- please don’t forget that chesed begins at home, even though it feels like a bigger mitzvah to help out others.
Please come and help me with some housework…
Seriously now, why don’t you take a course that you might enjoy?(Baking, dancing,hair cutting, etc.)
I guess he wants to see which CR members will be in his son’s yeshiva!
Lol. Cute. That should go in the things kids say thread.
Hey, mybe we should revive that thread a bit…
GN everyone.12:57 in NYC
Anon- that’s like when someone says, “there’s a secrect that I’d love to share, but I can’t say it!”
If you’re not gonna share it, then why mention it in the first place?!
Was wondering the same. But I think he once explained that his son and himself post under the same username. Well wait and see…
Can’t be he’s sleeping yet!
Got nothing. I have a feeling you’re not saying the truth…
D a, they’re great! Where do you get them from?
Hey, that sounds like fun!!
I blend leftover challah and use as regular breadcrumbs which I use for a number of things.
As a side tip, when using breadcrumbs or matzha meal to coat cutlets, add some sesame seeds to the crumbs and fry. It looks very pretty when served bec seeds stay white.
Not either a cake recipe but something light for a change:
Take lettuce(leftover marror leaves), add some cut up orange tidbits, some pieces of apple, and some chopped walnuts.
Pour some lemon/orange juice over it and you have a delicious fruit salad!!
Boredstiff, ur very lucky. I also never minded cleaning as a girl but some pple have very bad erev pesach memories.
True, I also do spring cleaning. But THAT cannot be done on the expense of the kids. I only do whatever I have time for. The rest is strictly pesach cleaning.
Those pple do pesach cleaning AND spring cleaning.
If we would do strictly chametz cleaning it should take abt 2 wks.
But if people don’t mind cleaning their house since chanuka, then I definitely don’t mind…(As long as they don’t ask me to help!)
I’m ready to go back to sleep already. I think I’m more tired now than last night.
Boredstiff- it’s a very sad joke. Some mothers make their kids into a korban while cleaning because the kids are constantly yelled at and pressured.
And BTW if anyone has a baby outfit that has yellow stains because the babys pamper leaked through(!), rub the stain with some plain dishwashing liquid soap and wash in machine. Works wonders and is safe.
Dust is not chametz and kids are not the korban pesach…
Please clean the CHAMETZ from your house instead of spring cleaning. You can spring clean in the summer instead of going off to the catskills.
