    Not all chassdim sign tenoyim at the vort. In my chassidus we do sign at the wedding.

    But even after tenoyim is signed, its not that u CANT break the shidduch. I’ve heard of that already. Its just that a broken engagement is much worse than a divorce since it involves much more humiliation.

    (Please think twice before breaking a shidduch. Maybe it does pay to get married and try it out) please don’t attack me, I don’t know anyones situation but if possible, it is better to get married and divorce than break a shidduch.

    Hatzlacha rabbah to everyone

    I recently bought the canon sd1100 and am really satisfied.was not expensive(100 something) and is great. Just make sure to buy w it a warranty that also covers a fall. I had a camera once that I loved and it fell shorlty thereafter and broke- garbage!!!

    Please get a warranty

    Hi! Bsha tova. I also went through that stage of having the SCARY SECOND. Everyone told me how hard the adjustment will be and they were so right!!! B”h for all that but it wasn’t easy at all. I love them dearly and they are a real bracha but its a lot of work!

    The only advice I have is to push through and appreciate and love them and I guess we’ll relax when they’re married off!!!

    Main thing is that we all stay healthy safe and happy!!

    BARUCH HASHEM!!!!

    Oh, I wish. Whats wrong with kids having gym class, baking/cooking(yes even boys!), swimming, or even an interesting current event workshop once a week – IN THEIR OWN YESHIVA BUILDING. Oh- lets keep on dreaming but it would be great!

    THANK YOU JOSEPH!!! I cant believe someone actually realized that Im missing!!! I was just gonna give in a complaint on this thread that nobody misses me!!!!

    Im pretty busy at work and in life lately…..Very hard to spend my time on Shtissum!!! I just look in once in a while to see how the coffee room is these days without me.

    Sometimes I do wish I can follow conversations here. Sometimes Im desparate to yell at some pple here, but I have other things to worry about!!!

    Tell them naturally,like you would tell another friend. I went through the same. These friends dont want to be pities, and they definitely dont want to find out from the street about your news.

    Please Please Please- dont give them the Bracha- IYH by you! It hurts them a lot. You can think it, and Daven to Hashem, but dont show them that they’re world’s pity.

    And during pregnancy/ child ubringing, dont act as if you dont have kids. They will know you are trying to avoid these conversations. Of course, dont tlak aobut it a lot, or complain ever, but mention it here and there. This makes them feel normal. Their biggest worry is that they are world’s pity.

    YAEL- I heard they are DEFINITELY being tortured and one of them already became touched from his torture. I also heard that they are being held in tiny little rooms that cannot hold a person. they cannot stand up straight bec the ceilings are so low.

    From sitting all alone, without stretching limbs once in a while, I dont think it’s possible to stay normal.

    OH! Im so traumatized. I hope this is all not true, but it seems too real….

    May Hahsem have them freed today!!!

    BROOKLYN19- I really do know how to take a joke and I cant say this wasnt funny. I did laugh. But it really ISNT FUNNY!!!There are millions of other funny jokes out there, why do we need to use our Heilige Torah stories to laugh at? Nothing terrible, but something to be aware of.

    SQUEAK- Your joke about the MIL and Shlome Hamelech was not funny at all. Not because I cant handle MIL jokes, I really do love them, but you dont apply a stupid, made up joke to Shlome Hamelech from Taanach. Especially taht you are poking fun at a similar story that actually happened during his time(where 2 woman were fighting over who’s child it is and he said it belongs to the mother that did not let slice the child in half.)I go for humor, but not this. I hope you get my point.

    How about spellchecking? So careless mistakes will get corrected and bad mistakes will not look so bad anymore…. Some errors are so ridiculous.

    YW MODERATOR- How about considering getting another moderater to moderate spelling mistakes? Not the careless ones, those happen when you’re typing quickly and not proofreading. Some mistakes are just so pathetic.

    intelligent- it’s an elderly person/expectant lady’s duty not to obligate others and get themselves into that situation, but it’s your job to stand up for them if you are in that situation.

    Sounds absolutely scrumptious!! I will not do it today because I dont have the ingredients at home, but will try at another time.

    Cranberry sauce- do you use the canned one for this?

    And 6 min sounds a bit too little. Doesnt stay raw?
