miritchka – I feel the same way, even though I know I would have struggled with the thought of packing up. I remember being at a hotel with 7 little kids and we had a VERY hard time getting them to sleep. At about midnight an alarm indicated a tornado warning and we were all supposed to go down to the basement. I did NOT want to wake every one up and I couldn’t possibly carry them all. I looked for every excuse to ignore it but knew that in the end I would never forgive myself for being unsafe with my kids. It wasn’t fun, but we did it.
seriously?
42 – I sent SiDi over with the antidote but he can’t get through the windtorn streets.
Yossi – you were dating a girl who doesn’t use the internet and you told her you don’t either so you had to make good on your word
(Don’t worry, that’s just the first of many I have so far)
😀
probably
When I saw your post I remembered finding out last year. I’m sure if we scrolled thru the pages we could find it but . . . well, forget it. I have more important things to do right now, like compile a list of where I think you have been! Glad to see you!!!
I’ll only work that hard if I know you’ll tell me in the end. Well . . .?
Clifton is out
I am glad you said that, I will try to read your posts differently when they seem negative.
I don’t know anything about the lawsuit but I do notice these calamities often centering around the tri state area . . .
Don’t throw anything at me, I was being sarcastic
“Something you must have learned from your own obviously holy parents. They must be so very proud. Good for you.”
I take no political nor religious stance. I will support those who believe differently than I when they are kind and disagree respectfully. I feel for you,I really do, and agree with some points. But your condescending attitude and bias make it hard to see you as any different intrinsically, than those you are angry with.
zahavasdad – I hate hearing those stories as they do make my blood boil, but on the flip side (I have an annoying habit of always looking at the flip side) the Satmar adults who hired him must not have shared that view.
mommamia – we used to look at people who didn’t wear a kipa or who wore pants and ask them if they were Jewish. My mother would be horrified and the person was HIGHLY offended. They, of course, assumed that that was what my mother taught us. But she didn’t. Little kids say – “I wear ____ because I am a Jew, if you don’t, you must not be”.
lesschumras – I loved your last post. Except this line, which to me means you are who you say they are.At the same time, I do expect no less from the yeshivish/chareidi posters. My opinion’s shouldn’t affect them in the least.
I grew up frum but not chareidi, we were unbelievably prejudiced and condescending toward everything about them from their dress to the names they gave their children. When I became chareidi I expected things would be different but it isn’t. Not an iota. And we both thought we were right. And we were BOTH wrong, just in different ways.
B”H my husband and I have found a circle of friends who have risen to higher places in their adom l’chaveiro and are good role models for us.
very much so
Imagine that – I’ve been discovered! Now the creditors are sure to find me, I never claimed that shoe shining income.
Mazel Tov Yossi! I forgot we had the same birthday!
sorry popa, I already married him.
It wooshed right past you :}
Yom Huledes Sameach – Amen and I wish you brachos in return. I can’t believe I actually missed my birthday last Thursday 🙁
mommamia – if these people were standing in front of you would you give them the time of day? I wouldn’t even feign politeness. Move on for your own sake.
Why? You don’t think it’s smart to post personal details of your private life online? I never really thought about that . . .
95- smicha huh? Does that mean the CR is under rabbinical supervision? Awesome!
and 20 – thanks for showing up! Now that we have three of you here at once lets give that round of applause!!!
you already said that, didn’t you?
95 – Well I wish you koach to continue!!!
42 – mods are people who are in yeshiva for their smicha (or preparing for marriage) and the Rosh Yeshiva feels they need to undergo some “anava training” so they send them to the YWN as moderators. It’s a thankless job, sometimes demeaning and you get blamed for everything that happens but you come out stronger.
95 already has smicha.
SaysMe – I didn’t think that you were young because of your writing, you actually sound very mature for a HS girl. I just remember a bunch of HS girls posting for a while there and for some reason couldn’t remember if you were one of them. Hmmm, so sem is out . . . how ’bout dorming for college? And I don’t advocate running away, but I do advocate getting space from situations that hinder development. Sorry if I sold you short.
Well, for a while there it was mostly 80 and 42 modding. Than 80 left and I think 42 had some issues with the union regarding taking on too many extra hours. 007 made a five minute appearance and disappeared, and someone keeps modding inside other posts without using the bold button which is confusing people so now they won’t give him his wings. It’s been a real mess. I am pretty sure they are scoping our posts right now searching for potential mods, though, so be on your very best posting behavior!!!
95 is ?? ???? ??? ????
Hurray!!!
SM – Bleh. Why are the people in your life so blind, dumb and ignorant? Or why do they present themselves that way? You are still in HS, right? will you be leaving the house for sem soon? Maybe that will be a good time to grow wings.
Goq mentioned wanting (needing) to pull back a bit. I think Shticky got shtuck somewhere.
I think this is a big loss but am so thrilled for you. Whenever I was confused following a religious quibble I always looked for your input to get it straight. I am so glad you have gotten yourself through the rough times, and I am even more thrilled that you will be able to have your needs met face to face, not something everyone can do.
Be well, and may Hashem continue to build you and give you strength to serve him.
Did you get that email that went around? It said, “Vote for Romney, it’s a Mitt-zvah”
dhl144 – That was a very beautiful post. I hope one day you will take that positive attitude about accepting people and giving them a chance, and use it toward your feelings about people who may be different than you religiously. Thank you for your chizuk, Hashem should give you a refuah and koach to succeed as an eved Hashem.
Mazel Tov to the daughter of one of my oldest and best friends!
dhl144 – Gee, are you always this warm and friendly? That’s sure to get you LOTS of dates. And by the way – HE WAS BEING SARCASTIC.
I know someone who is on meds for depression and his wife is NOT on meds for her anxiety. They were together for about 9 years before their marriage fell apart. I would recommend him for a shidduch any day. Her, I would not. It should be more about stability and level of function then diagnosis.
Do you have any idea how many young girls these days are getting married and finding out that their husbands have addictions to all sorts of things? Wouldn’t someone stable and under treatment be better than that?
OOM – I’ll be right over @__@
I was referring to your RESOUNDING NO, as opposed to a thought out-well informed NO. Resounding NO’s for having, in your words, “SOME chessronos, but . . . displayed out in the open” are the reason so many people are not even dating, let alone married.
Why do you interpret zdads words to say, “push people” to marry someone with a medical issue? Nobody said Push. To some of us, considering a less then perfect shidduch would not be called pushing, it would be called ”taking it into consideration”. It seems to be different perspectives.
OOT answer: fries with cheesy sauce on them (preferably not lumpy)
Okay Mod – it’s in your court now . . . btw, it seems your “bold button” is broken.
I thought SaysMe’s comment was serious (and mature, if I might add). Why would you choose to focus on tzaddiq’s instead?
“tzaddiq – the answer will always be a resounding NO”
hence the real source of the shidduch crisis.
MOD – thanks for asking! I feel so honored to be addressed directly! I was making a suggestion for just my hapence. A hapence is a half penny so I meant to say, k’iylu, my half penny against your two cents. Somehow it was funnier late last night :}
😀
Derech – That was really powerful, thank you.
JHF – I’ll take one just like yours but hold the lox. YUM
that was very funny. and not at all immature or jerkish.
I am soooo NOT a racist. I just don’t like immature jerk-ish type behavior. And either way, by your response it is obvious that you didn’t understand what I said anyway so it wouldn’t be fair for you to judge me.
