BPT: yup, thats my dad’s age. he got a new bottle some time in the last year. so i guess its still popular
bpt, you had me rolling! my dad wears polo and personally its my fave for guys
and i wear perfume most days. but technically its a body spray so teh scent is lighter. but for shabbos i wear real stuff. is it really so bad if i like to smell nice?
HHHHMMMMMM golden mom, what do you think of single girls becoming nurses?
seminaries in NY/NJ area: monsey, intensive, BY half day, Machon, Lakewood (has a few), bulka (if you want college as well). further out there’s Ma’alot, Yavne in cleveland.
am i the only one who feels disgusted knowing there are guys out there who care more about the shoes on my feet than the brains i have in my head, the personality that makes me “me” and the middos that make me a bas yisroel? i LUV wearing heels. i’m 5’2″. SHORT and proud of it. i wear heels when i can. wedges too. but i’m realistic too. i have to pamper my feet NOW so i have them LATER. so do i wear flats? yes i do. so to all the guys who want trophy wives, dont come knocking on my door. (and all u guys wearing blue[colored] shirts, navy suits, knitted yarmulkes, and/or no hat, now i know how you feel when girls want black and white only.)
thanx for the :)’s guys
i wear sunglasses when i drive. if i dont i squint and if i squint too long i get head aches. does that mean that i’m not a tznius person? NO it means i take my eyesight seriously. but i put them on IN the car and take them off before i get OUT of the car. and like with short on Y”K, its a sensitivity, and not a clear cut black/white answer. theres lots of grey areas out there. especially if you are wearing sunglasses B)
k wish me luck this week! i have orientation and a math validation exam on thursday! slightly nervous for this exam….
MG: funny you mention the english name “abigail”. my friend spells it sans the Y and was flying a few weeks after the unmentionable’s bomber. her ID said abigail but her ticket said avigail. the TSA agent called over her Sup who said it was fine, its just a typo! (B and V are neighbors on the keyboard B”H)
i have a similar q: why is Avigail/Avigayil sometimes spelled w/ the ‘y’ and s/t’s not? which is correct?
happy b-day!! May you be zoche to celebrate many more in happiness and health, ad meah v’esrim
ok ok i’m really that old 🙂 “strawberry short cake, cream on top tell me the name of your sweet heart….” that the song you’re referring to?
BPT- LOL. you forgot to mention the bathroom monitor and the davening teacher 🙂
i used to think HS was the hardest thing till i went to sem. then i thought sem was the hardest thing till i got to college. HS seems hard and scary and frightening and HELP WHAT do i do now!!! all these feelings are NORMAL. some teachers are hard and some are easy. some have straight foward tests and some you have to think 180 degrees backwards. just think of HS as elementary, just bigger. on a more serious note, develop a connection to teachers, limudei kodesh and limudei chol. they have lots to teach and give over. your school prob has a michaneches designated for the school or just for your grade. if you have any issues, talk to her. she’s there to help
and dont forget, have fun in school. its not the grades that count. make friends and connections. and most of all, may you have lots of siyatta dishmaya in HS in the next 4 years. HATZLACHA
one of my dad’s workers is Indian and just made/is making (dont remember which) a wedding for her daughter/son and invited her boss (my father). the invitation was THICK textured card stock, the folder for the invitations (7 invites cuz the celebration happens over 7 days so each day had a dif invite for thats days party) came in a fancy envelope and the whole invitation is given with a pashima scarf and box of chocolates (in this case, ferrero chocolates). now what were you saying that goyosh weddings were cheaper? and this was the invitation only! we looked online at the wedding hall and it was no cheap place either! in this case, i think i prefer the jewish wedding, even with the attitude of keeping up with the klien’s. imagine having to keep up with this!
Even thought I graduated teen-hood this year, I still have a hard time reading some of the posts. If us young people can’t understand what you are saying, kal v’chomer those who didn’t grow up with the texting lingo. But then again I am a bit of a grammar fanatic. My friends know i would read reports for them and help them with grammar AND readability. because even if the grammar is correct, it may not be easy to understand. Grammar should make English easier to read, not vice versa. if the grammar is making it hard to post, give up on the grammar. its the content that counts
either way, HG, CHILLAX a little on the grammar
a student. vaca-ing till next thurs
i have a diary called “dear ___” (a close friends name) and when s/t is bothering me i write it down there as if i was talking to her. i started in sem cuz i was in the US and she was in E”Y and the $$$$ for calls was out of my budget. and at the same time as i wrote in the diary if there was a big issue i wrote it in a letter. when the letter was over 10 pages, THEN i mailed it. now we are both home but i still have my diary, which i carry in my school bag and write in it when i get really frustrated and cant tell teh source of frustration. IMHO, writing it down does wonders even if the prob isnt solved.
just be yourself and dont be a faker. and open your eyes and ears to ALL your sem-mates. you never know but the girl you thought is SO not your type, may be what you were looking for in a friend. HATZLACHA
any ideas….

i’m shy when i first meet ppl so my first meeting is just lots of observing the person. and even once i get to know the person, my view of the person can def change once i know them better. life is a play and we are actors; when you get to know ppl better, the act drops and you see what the mask was hiding, which can be a hidden talent, exceptionally good middah, or a nasty habit. am i judgemental? ya i am. does my view change? yes of course. but am i good at reading ppl? that would be a big NO. which is why i stand in the back doing lots of observing and listening
parents please!! if there is a bus counselor, he/she deserves recognition too (i was a bus counselor; i watched your kids just like the regular counselor). so please, say thanx to that person, even if its just a card or note (kapusta, you’re right about the thank you notes)
so my i have been in shidduchim since chanukah time, and my dad likes to make fun of the whole system these days. he complains that it doesnt really work and it should be like when he was going out, ie girls should go to brooklyn/queens college to get their MRS degree. thats the first issue. so how do i tell him that the norm now is to go to shadchanim and have a huge network of ppl
my second issue is the resume. i have a few friends my age listed as references, some married and some single. someone “handed my fathers head to him” cuz you cant have friends on the resume. who came up with that mishagaas???? i asked quite a few other ppl and they all have friends listed and no one complained!!! so whats normal to have on the resume?
TIA
hiya!
my pet peeve is ppl who eat while they are on the phone with you and you have to listen to them chew and slurp and gulp….. EEEEWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEE
