Popa- look what you caused by publicizing your minhag shtus!:(
Dr. Kessin: In that case, you don’t need to view the events as messages.
Popa listens to The Talking Coins. Apparently, it doesn’t work, though.
“Thunder was created for no other reason than to smooth the creases of the heart” (Gemara, no clue where).
We each look at our own heart to see where the creases are.
Harav M. Salomon, shlita, says that thunder has many forms, including Yissurim.
and here I was willing to give it for free
What is your proposed alternative outlet for aggressive impulses?
Hazeet on your kishkes!

“Kittens and a College Textbook”
There was once a kitten who approached a college textbook and began to purr because it smelled like fish. His friends heard the purring and came to check out the cause. They all purred around the textbook agreeing that it indeed smelled like fish.
What’s the connection between kittens and a textbook?!
ah gefehrliche misnaged!
The three equal one.
ZachKessin: If one believes the events to be acts of G-d, and he also believes that G-d communicates with us through His actions, then isn’t it wise for him to keep the lines of communication open?

I always try so hard to do my very best
but I never learned how to play the game
so why does everybody make so much fun of me
I’m feeling so ashamed
oh, how I wish…

yogi- b’sha’ah tova
When my 5-year old saw me for the first time after I gave birth, he said, “It looks like you have another baby in your stomach. In how many weeks is it coming out?”
—
My 2-year old wants “toof-peyos” on her “brush-teef.”
She also wants “kiddush cup” on her macaroni.
(And my husband wants speech therapy for my 2-year old.)
not red nails, but the things that aries mentioned
If it came out bad, I wasted time and money. If it came out good, I ate it. I don’t bake anymore.
BasYisroel: I used to pin up the upper half of my hair and blow the lower half first, then blow the upper half separately. This made it easier to catch the hair properly on the brush to stretch it straight.
…and headphones cover “The New KTU”
At bedtime, give the baby a bottle, even if you’re nursing exclusively. He may not be full enough to fall into a deep sleep.
Girls who come for a meal sometimes bring a package of chocolate-covered something (which my daughter checks for a price tag), and it’s always appreciated (more when it’s not esrog).
Crush broccoli floret and clementine. Form into shape of florentine (flower?). Enjoy!
TRS, WOW! Given your matzav, your post really inspired me! Thank you!
“Chochmas Noshim Bonsah Baisah”- you’ll surely reap great rewards!
Pampered Chef, Tupperware, etc. parties?
My personal rule that has served me well for many years, b”h:
Assume your husband is clueless about what you need/want in every area of your life, and instruct accordingly (using seichel, duh).
Superficially, it’s often easier to hold it against him for not meeting your needs, but being a big girl and communicating is the more satisfying way.
Will your son benefit from such long hours of learning?
Perhaps it would be beneficial to remove him from secular studies in Yeshiva altogether (and probably parts of Limudei Kodesh, too) and use that time (either in school or at home) for P3 services.
There is an opinion that Ma’aser is a “minhag tov”; some Rabbonim hold by this.
In practical terms, it means they’re not for each other.
The idea of having a fifth sense in shidduchim is discussed in “Shidduchim and Zivugim” by R’ Yehuda Lebovits.
popa- 🙁
cherrybim: I’m so sorry for your situation. May the Cholah have a Refuah Sh’laima B’karov.
Grandchildren are in the category of “silent mourners”- very painful, but no aveilus. You feel that hole in your heart, and it really hurts!
Agree with Sam. “VoChai Bahem!”
Also agree with Cedarhurst.
AOM- No comparison to cholent! Way better!
Oomis, I’m sending your granddaughter a playmate just her age to have Morah Oomis. Please?
Monseyking, you looking for some brethren here in the CR?
If you really are seeking gruenkern, ask some neighboring Yekkes.
Just curious, why do people go for natural looking makeup and artificial looking nails?
WiseWoman, I was in same exact situation, and Popa’s method worked well.
My own home, other kids away during the day.
If it’s Yom Tov, we go to my parents.
That word is now to be deleted from the English language, in addition to another horrible word used in Twain’s literature. Yup, they’re revising the classics!
I teach my kids to critique everything they read. For example, in a Dr. Seuss book: “How many fingers do I see…Eleven? This is something new, I wish I had 11 too!”
I asked the kids why we would not wish for 11 fingers, they said we should be happy with the way Hashem made us. I asked them to come up with a substitute for that line.
Our family’s version is “…I’m glad I have ten, like you!”
Another story we read is about some porters who lied to a passenger about what happened to part of her luggage. At the end of the story, my kids sing “Midvar sheker tirchak” (and one kid likes to yell at the picture of the porters, “Liar, liar, pacifier…”)
popa, as the b’chor, you certainly should be.
and forfeit my 48-hour hotel stay?!
pumper and cofeefan, thanks for the divrei chizuk. iy”h, bkarov mamash by you!
I made sure that a bunch of children had a cheerful, loving mother looking after them!
Cedarhurst: Why are eyes specified and not ears- “asher atem zonim achareihem”?
Sam: My guess: unlike eyes, ears are not mentioned at Lo Sasuru, perhaps suggesting the power of eyes over ears.
I save all the broken crayons (remove paper), and when enough accumulate, we melt them using an iron (a piece of wax paper goes between iron and crayons and another piece between crayons and towel), then I pour the colorful mess into chocolate molds or schnapps cups, let it harden, and voila! New, multi-colored crayons!
(My oldest once suspected me of being too stingy to buy new crayons, but I asked her why we’d want boring single-color crayon sticks, when we have interesting-looking multi-colored ones?)
Bombmaniac:
I immediately recognized the writing style from your posts! This post was more sophisticated, though. I enjoyed reading it, and the message hit home.
Care to share what inspired this?
