    Coffee- WHY are you here then? You knew about recycling before you moved here. You knew about the dirt, the heat, the beeping, the traffic, the ticketing, the unfriendly sour people, the always in a rush, the smelly stinky city….

    I’m here cuz I was born here and never got my way outta here yet, but why would someone actually move to NY???

    Droid- they’ll cancel my order and issue a refund without a problem.

    My question is if I can make them send me my order anyway, since their price is lowest. I’m waiting 5 weeks for it and I’m very disappointed.

    Ok, here goes my problem:

    I placed an order with CSN(strollers.com) 5 weeks ago. I got a confirmation that the order will arrive on or before 7/18/11.

    When I didn’t receive shipping confirmation today, I called them to find out that “they’re not sure why they didn’t inform me, but they won’t have my stroller in stock for about another month or so.”

    I’m so annoyed. I’m waiting for this stroller for weeks and I really need it. I can cancel here and reorder on a different site for more money, but if I’m paying full price after all, I could’ve gotten it weeks ago from any site.

    I want to hear if there’s anything I can do with this order before I go ahead and cancel. Legally, do they HAVE to send me the order by 7/18? Can I do anything about it at all?

    Minyan Gal- you’re judging too quick here.

    He might be a good person in other areas, and he might be a great father to his children.

    He definitely needs help, but it’s still no reason to leave him YET.

    You can never know if he had some terrible experience in the past that’s scaring him away from getting another job, or if he’s suffering from depression as mentioned above.

    The OP didn’t indicate anything about their Shalom Bayis being worked on here.

    I wish her much Hatzlacha.

    I used something called “Kali Tzom” which has helped me a lot with fasting well. I know others who have used it too and fasted better.

    I cannot speak for the other easy fast pills around, but this one worked!

    If the costs of the event was donated, then why not? But if our place sponsored the event in order to make more $$, then it’s not very right.

    Ok, so my dr was extra nice and let me come to the office today although he wasn’t accepting patients.

    Surprisingly enough, the throat culture is positive for strep. This is the third time I have strep in the past 3 months.

    I also took some bloodwork to make sure there isn’t some other infection that we’re overseeing.

    Thank you all for your help!

    Thank you all for your suggestions and well wishes! I don’t think I have strep because when I do have strep I can hardy move, and now I’m feeling fine B”H. I do have a low fever though.

    It’s not my throat that hurts, it’s only that one spot in my throat where I have a big blister(I see it in the mirror!).

    My dr isn’t in tomorrow so I guess I’ll have to wait it out until friday. But I hope I’ll feel better by then.

    It’s never too smart to gush over your Chosson, Machutanim, presents, etc. You can get people to become very jealous/and very nervous!)

    But you shouldn’t make it taboo either. Don’t ignore the fact that you’re engaged, or else she’ll realize that you’re trying to avoid this topic and she’ll be very hurt.

    Use your own judgement!

    Thanks Qwerty. I was just wondering if you have experience with purchasing from this site or you only checked if the site is secure? The site seems secure to me and I placed an order. However, my order will take about a month to process and that got me concerned. I began wondering if they’re safe.

    I think it’s a terrible idea for a single woman to have a baby, unless she is ready to wear a sign explaining that she had this baby through a clinic. People will probably never believe her anyway.

    Not every question in Tznius you have to ask. A big part of Tznius is about your own feelings.

    If you feel ok with playing music when your car windows are down, and every pedestrian will turn his/her head toward your car and give a look, then go ahead. It’s not a question. It’s about using some sense and judging for yourself.

    Not Kosher? Please phrase your sentences correctly. They’re very kosher, yet can be very highly infested so many people don’t eat them.

    Sure, the owner is “officially” a religious jew, yet keeps his store open Shabbos, in the heart of Heimishe BORO PARK no less!

    He collects a minyan mincha in his store every day, and then keeps his store open for business on Shabbos Kodesh.

    Sorry, I try to patronize ehrliche Yidden instead.

    But to answer your question- yes it’s a great store with lots of odds n ends you might need.

    Bochrim is the respecful term used for young, unmarried men. Doesn’t turn them into Tzaddikim. They are some foolish, selfish Bochrim who put themselves and others into major danger by acting very irresponsibly.

    They obviously have problems in their life and are missing lots of Sechel. I too, don’t understand why they weren’t locked up.

    I absolutely hate to eat in public for fear that something will stay stuck in my teeth and will show. Doesn’t give a very good impression.

    I personally cannot understand how a girl agrees to eat in a restaurant on a date. I cannot eat with anyone whom I’m not totally comfortable with. I would be under too much pressure!

    Minyan- buying a property that used to be a place for Avodah Zora is different because you’re changing the place from Tameh to Kodesh.

    Here, you’re are giving up a precious, holy building and giving it away to the use of Avodah Zora.

    Wolf- The OP is asking about people who should NEVER marry. Nothing about remarrying.

    smartcookie
    Member

    Ilove- everyone is entitled to get married and everyone should get married. But marriage should only happen after a person is mature, worked on their Middos,(which also continues after married), and if they need professional help, they should get it.

    Otherwise, if one of those details are missing, the person is putting his marriage up for failure and will very possibly ruin a family.
