    My son came home from school today all upset that his cookie from his snack fell on the floor. I asked him if he ate it to which he replied that he left it on the floor.

    I told him that next time he must pick it up and put it in a garbage bin.

    He replied: “but then it would be baal tashchus!!”

    My brother was asked to make a sentence with the word “coal”.

    His brainstorm went as follows:

    My father learns in coal….

    There was one adorable anecdote posted in the nachas magazine last month:

    A child went to see his newborn sibling in the hospital’s nursery and when seeing so many babies in their cradles he asked innocently:

    Are these babies already born or are they gonna be born still?

    Why don’t you split all furniture costs in half? Its the simplest. That’s the way my family works it.

    Vitzniz has hall on 18 and 53 in BP. Standard, nice hall. Nothing massive but nice size.

    Very average price.

    Yankdownunder:

    Would you care to share what an average day means by you foodwise? Like what do all your meals/snacks consist of?

    I’m just trying to shift over to a healthy eating lifestyle. Not crazy, but just healthier and lower fat.

    COAL: you seem to be taking this tragedy very hard as it is very close to your heart.

    But you have to be certain that thinking into it will not make matters worse. If it will only make you more upset and traumatised(if you’re like me), then you should really justaccept it as hashems will. My heart feels for you and the rest of their friends and family. A terrible tragedy indeed.

    Coal, they aren’t suffering. They are up in shomayim with hashem and all is good. We are the ones suffering.

    The only words of chizuk I have is that moshiach should come and then we will all see our loved ones again. Amen!

    Take a butternut squash(make sure its very bright orange on the outside).

    Peel and cut into small cubes or thin slices.

    Bake uncovered until soft. I like to leave it longer until it becomes a little browned.

    Ben levi-

    As far as I always knew, the category of lebo gas bo is much stricter and this category has many more restrictions in hilchos yichud.

    Anyway have time to look into a shulchan aruch now and clarify?

    Just a guy:

    Cousins that are as close as bros and sis are not at all allowed to talk extra.

    It really doesn’t matter how close they are. Siblings are allowed and cousins not. That’s the halacha.

    And btw, if I’m not mistaken, if 2 people of the opposite gender are especially close then the halacha becomes even more strict. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    Please! Babies don’t all crawl at 8 months! Some kids never crawl. It is important for the muscles but they all learn it at some point. My daughter started crawling AFTER she started walking!

    Some kids only learn it later on and its nothing wrong. As long as they’re developing normally.

    Thank you everyone for saying what I’m saying for years.

    I was in a car service yesterday with a hatzalah behind me. Instead of pulling over, my driver went speeding down the street to let the hatzalah fly right behind him. I didn’t think ill come out alive from that car.

    Incident #2. Today my son’s school bus stopped at my home to pick up my son. As he was walking toward the bus, a vehicle behind the bus was honking away….

    I mean this honking is so ridiculous. anyone has any idea what we can do about it? Who we need to speak to?

    I live in a busy brklyn neighborhood and hear the honking at 1am, at 6am and round the clock. I’m fed up.

    Welcome to NY is right!!

    It keeps me updated that’s for sure.

    I don’t find myself wasting time here. I’m only on when I have a free hand.

    Ex.- while eating breakfast I sit and read the YWN. Or while holding my crying baby who just wants me to sit and hold him, or when I’m looking to relax and have nothing else to read… The reasons are endless.

    If you are wasting time here, please don’t!

    BTW- start concentrating if you get them after eating specific foods. I have a relative that stopped eating wheat after suffering from crazy canker sores and they stopped coming!

    Oomis- I just have a little feeling that that specific thread shldnt have gone through originally. The whole topic was disrespectful and untrue. Not that posts weren’t nice. The mods still didn’t enlighten us on that one yet though!!

    Something Simple:

    Take 1/2 cinnamon graham cracker. Place 2 squares choco onto it and on top of the choco, place 1 piece of marshmallow. Cover with the other half of graham cracker.

    Bake for few min until the choco and marshmallow melt.

    Delicious.

    BEMUSED- I was wondering ab out what you suggested, if my child won’t stay hungry. He’s used to eating full meals and all types of food.

    But I do try lately to make his food real easy to chew. But he still keeps it in his mouth in a mush.

    Funny, because the same foods he eats beautifully one day, he can keep in his mouth the next day for hours.
