Cheese bourekas: Buy frozen cheese bourekas. Put into toaster. Take them out. Eat.
Kollels in BP? That’s like asking is there a yeshiva in Lakewood? Are there shuls in Yerushalayim?
Utah, don’t you believe in Techiyas Hameisim?
Scientists never thought the world was flat.
Because they didn’t know calculus. Every curve is made of an infinite number of flat surfaces. Therefore, the earth is flat, and curved, as it suits the argument.
And people have choice, or predestination, as it suits the argument.
Therefore, it would seem that there is very little point in arguing about what choices other people have. We can only know our own anyway.

Little did she know that her candy was doctored by the Taliban to cause cavities and send her to the dentist, who was employed by the Muslim Brotherhood, who installed bugs in her teeth.
The Yamim Noraim are coming up, and some of us are machmir on shuddering. Credit should go to PBA for being mezakeh es harabim by starting it.
Unbeknownst to her parents, but very beknownst to the NSA, writersoul had an unusual background. Besides for being the first female undercover agent in the mafia, Hashem had decreed that writersoul be abducted from Earth by aliens from Blob at the age of 10. She returned just in time for her bas mitzva.
The Blobbian aliens were necessary to help writersoul develop her special abilities. She could finish Sefer Tehilim faster than a speeding bullet, do more chesed than Yosef HaTzaddik during the famine in Mitzrayim, and dress more tzniusdig than Sarah Schenirer.
But there was one thing writersoul couldn’t do. She couldn’t solve the shidduch crisis without Rivky’s help.
I heard there was a time limit between stops for yichud issues. Also, many elevators have video cameras which is an additional safeguard.

Sometimes one cannot deal with an emotion on one’s own. You need professional help. I have heard that Rabbi Babad of Relief is excellent at helping people find an appropriate therapist, and I suggest you call/email him. He is very discreet.
Google “relief Rabbi Babad”
Enjoy Touro.
It comes from the name of a bug with many legs.

lol, fascinating.
Google: Feelings and perceptions of happiness and sadness induced by music: Similarities, differences, and mixed emotions.
If you’re in Brooklyn and believe in copepods, it might be a problem.
writersoul, I didn’t know this at all. 🙂
writersoul: sounds fun.
Rivky continued:
“At this point, it appears that the shidduch crisis has been decidedly reversed. Appearances, however, may be decieving. Indeed, they learn with hasmada and daven with a minyan. However, they aren’t forever learning boys, or even 6-year, 4-year, or 2-year learning boys. They are ‘learn until i get married’ boys, and they’ve told my husband that as soon as they marry a nice frum girl, they’re going to get an education and even a parnasa.
“This cannot go on. What about all the perfect idealistic beautiful skinny tznius chesedik geshikt girls on inshidduchim.com davening for a forever learner? What am I supposed to tell them? That the vaccine didn’t work? I can’t dash their hopes like that.
“Rather, we’re going to introduce a character named “Donny” into the story. Donny works from 9-5 at a demanding job, and also has a 3 hour seder every night, does Tikkun Chatzos, goes to the mikva before shacharis, and volunteers at an orphanage twice a week.
“Mrs. Norrisberg, you and I know that ‘Donny’s’ don’t exist. But through “Donny”, the girls on inshidduchim may come to consider these boys, who aren’t forever learners. This may be the catalyst to their engagements, and the fulfillment of their tefilos, hopes, and dreams.”
People who ask questions like this are rarely guilty of the behavior they’re worrying about.
I’m sick and tired of being told my behavior is “not ladylike”.
That was not ladylike.
Perhaps it would be more ladylike to have said, “Is it possible that I am occasionally told that I am not ladylike too often? I do apologize if that is the case. Is there anything I can do to lessen the frequency of my being told that I am not ladylike?”
All the ones that come up when you google “sale July 4th” or “Independence day sale”
I’d also suggest googling the type of store.
Not the one Obama was born in.
Just google “Obama birth video”. It is quite clearly un-American. It is practically inhuman.
Centipedes are not venomous. But anyway, I was thinking more of a tarantula.
I saw his birth video. He was definitely born in the African savannah.
lolwut
Huh?
It was fun to say.
Denizens of YWN are unlikely to know what they want and they don’t know we know that they don’t know ?? ????? ????? ??? ?’ ?.
How do you know? You can’t know. This is the internet. It could be someone’s idea of a joke.
The ideal pet is furry, venomous, and creepy crawly.
Expect a weird, illegal hut to be built outside your house during certain Hasidic jewish seasons.
Are you sure this isn’t a joke? It’s quite funny. Poe’s law and all.
Very cute, eclipse.
And then the cry went up “rivky, rivky, it was rivky”. What was rivky? Who was rivky? Nobody knew, except for writersoul.
Hey! Where is writersoul?
Why were the Raindens in Ecuador? A side effect of one of her vaccine experiments was a thinness craving inversely related to the thinness of said autistic learning boys, which had affected Rivky’s husband. Eliyahu Rainden had also suffered severely from this craving prior to marriage, and was struck by a map of North and South America.
He saw that Canada looked extremely wide, as did the I-95 corridor all the way down to Florida, which was still too fat. As the bent logic of shidduchim guided him, he looked down and saw Mexico, where it kept getting narrower and narrower. All the way to the Yucatan!
Using his bent shidduchim compass to navigate, he immediately spied real narrowness, true narrowness, the exact narrowness he had been waiting for ever since he had entered the saga of shidduchim. Only in this setting could he properly appreciate his wife, who herself was, of course, narrower than narrow. Ecuador.
Meanwhile, the autistic boys continued searching for their wives. But Deli 52 and Landers and BMG and Chofetz Chaim and shadchanim had posted armed guards, declared martial law, and worst of all, banned posting on inshidduchim.com.
Nevertheless, the autistic boys all needed girls with the requisite amount of narrowness to satisfy their craving. And like Eliyahu, their shidduch compasses directed them to one place only: Ecuador.
The diplomat in Ecuador, named Sugi Hara, was put to work stamping shidduch visas 7 days a week (he was the Shabbos goy too). These visas were only good for stays for prospective shidduchim, with the intention of marrying with a badchan (to ensure religiosity in a non-discriminatory manner.)
Ecuador then enjoyed a construction boom, for lounges, with none of the expenses of having a luxury 4 star hotel attached.
But there were no Jewish girls in Ecuador for them to date. Just Rivky. And her husband Eliyahu.
Eliyahu was annoyed. He now had a minyan in Ecuador, which he had never dreamed of, every hour of the day. This was annoying because previously he had had more time to learn the Daf Yomi and Chumash Yomi and Halacha Yomi and Yerushalmi Yomi with more meforshim, since he davened conveniently. Now his dreams and his days and his nights were filled with the call, “Ah Tzenter!”
Rivky was also annoyed. Ecuador was supposed to be her escape from the world of shidduch crises. And after the 100th time her mild-mannered husband asked her, “Do you know any girls in Ecuador?”, she decided to call up Mrs. Norrisberg and find out if there were any single girls left in Brooklyn.

We don’t know what they know, and they don’t know what we know they don’t know.
I thought this thread would be about a pre-Tisha B’av kinus at Citi Field.
DY: Why does everyone think it’s so black and white? There are differences between people, and some marriages have different dynamics than others, even successful ones.

I agree it is inappropriate. Especially when people call our current President “Barry”. It is not respectful.
Lincoln. Emancipation.
Not being cold.
Also, water sports.
Also, the sense of relaxation.
And unbeknownst to the clones, their time was running out. The shidduch crisis vaccine had to be modified to produce girls. But it was only able to produce girls up to 6 months older than the boys. So after 6 months, the girls would be the same age or younger than the boys, and the boys would be unable to marry the girls because of NASI age regulations.
Only Mrs. Rivky Rainden could stop this. And only Mrs. Norrisberg, the famous wannabe-turned-successful shadchan, could see the terrible future that awaited these boys if Rivky would not start working immediately. And only her husband Eliyahu could convince Rivky to leave her enjoyable job at inshidduchim.com and go back to working for the NSA.
What about autographs from famous YWN posters?
I once got one from PBA:
~PoPa_^_bAr_^_aBbA~
Where was Rivky? Rivky was busy in her new job on inshidduchim, answering the urgent top secret private questions of inshidduchim posters. Whether the question was “Should I date a smoker or a drinker?”, “Is rollerskating in Florida bad for shidduchim?”, “Am I an old maid yet?” or “Is it a red flag if he knows who Justin Bieber is?”, Rivky always knew just what to say in order to settle the girl’s nerves and get the situation under control.
Unbeknownst to Rivky, clones of autistic learning boys were desperately searching for her.
You’d be hard pressed to find people that don’t snoop around in medicine chests. Such is human nature.
You’ve just been added to the list of people who get all the doors locked for them if they ever stay in my house.
I wouldn’t open up someone’s private cabinets, medicine chests, etc. It is simply wrong and immodest and a violation of privacy to do so. And I doubt anyone who grew up with proper values would.
Syag: I intend to marry someone who wears pants too.
But I’m not doing it for kiruv reasons. I won’t let them wear a skirt even if they want to.
It doesn’t bother me. I had completely forgotten about it until recently. I was just curious to see what others would think, and want to make sure you have the background facts before you weigh in.
You clearly were hurt by this, as evidenced by your repeated justifications for why you should have been accepted.
I recognize and validate your hurt feelings. You really wanted to grow, and this option was closed to you, and your neshama is pained by it to this day.
However, our justifying your hurt feelings is not going to give you the closure you need. Our criticizing the camp will do even less to give you that closure, and is simply sinas chinam.
The right thing for you to do is go to the people who hurt you, tell them what they did, and they will certainly ask you for mechila.
jewishfeminist: I am sure that your qualifications were excellent. The issue is not coming from a BY environment.
I am sorry that this bothers you until today. Perhaps you should contact the directors and tell them how you still feel hurt by their rejection. I am sure they would ask you for mechila.
jewishfeminist: Many people would see being hired in order to be mekareved as condescending, and had you been hired, it is possible you would have ended up feeling pressured by the many subtle rules required in frum camps. Plus, you don’t hire someone in order to help them change, just like you don’t marry someone in order to change them.
However, you should know that I think it is admirable that you wanted to change in this way, and I am sure the directors were impressed. 🙂 But I would have been wary of hiring you nonetheless.
Whoever helped your child. Certainly counselors, but only if your child liked them.
