*aims hentelach of snow at PBA*
Snowbunny: That’s so boring. When I’m a Bubby I am totally going to dress up. And I won’t let my sons marry girls who don’t dress up on Purim.
Reminds me of Rabbi Twerski’s story in Generation to Generation about the girl who wanted proper shchita of a pig.
Daniela, they are, but not packaged in a way that I can explain it to non-frum yidden
Syag: I hear that. B’derech hateva, most people don’t have trouble with oversleeping if they go to sleep on time. I am making an assumption.
It’s really sweet that they want help. Maybe if they smell coffee or something good cooking, it will wake them up?
We have these alarms that vibrate and make unpleasant loud noises, they are extremely annoying but they do get you up.
Syag- Sorry! I did not think through that post. Did not mean to imply you nagged or insult your parenting, from all of your posts, I am sure you are a wonderful mother!
I mean natural consequences, like getting detention. If they are not late than what is the problem with needing to wake them up?
Edit: I get that they want to wake up, but they don’t in the morning. If they really wanted to wake up, then they would go to sleep earlier.
Pretty horrible thing to do.
I would love to see a level-headed article explaining the chareidi position.
I’m told by my younger siblings that I’m too mature to dress up this year.
They are not interested in reporting positive things. The NYT posts a human interest article about Chassidim every so often to be yotze.
You can get them an alarm clock for every birthday and Chanuka present.
In my family, it’s the kid’s responsibility to get up. So my parents wake us up once or twice, after that we suffer the consequences. There’s really no point nagging about it.
We come here to have a bit of fun. If someone is getting hurt, it is not fun.
No, but it is considerate to make your posts as readable as possible.
I made the bracha on hafrashas challa today. 🙂
And I just ate a delicious challa roll. ?????’? ??’?? ???!!
There are several gemachs. Chai Lifeline is a great place to start.
NVM, this topic is only confusing me more.
OOM, I didn’t say it before, but I completely agree with you and that was a great post.
147, inshidduchim is a specific website, and it is not a dating website.
Meeting someone on a dating website, while not a bad idea, is hardly traditional.
It’s Rosh Chodesh Adar, and Popa had to be yotze somehow.
YW Moderator 42: Yes, that comes from the phrase “??? ???? ????”, the word ???? stands for ?? ????? ?? ?????? whose neshama came to the Jewish people because of what happened between Shechem and Dina. Basically the nitzotzos of kedusha, or whatever we call it, that were stimulated by that happening, brought out some kedusha in the world, and that’s why it had to happen. So that’s how we know that Shechem wasn’t entirely bad.
It’s a bit like Yaakov Avinu not marrying Timna, some say he should have and that would have prevented Amalek.
WIY: I was joking. One set of my grandparents met in the subway (or whatever the equivalent was) and the other set met in an immigration office. 🙂 So no internet dating.
147, I look forward to your explanation of that statement.
147: Yes, my bubby met my zaidy on a jewish dating website.
Were you being serious?
WIY, lol that was funny. I should really try it. Another option is to ask several people to sneeze, then pick up a sign reading “gezundheit”, it would be a good visual aid.
I meant not remembering what to say when people sneeze is my Achilles’ heel. 🙂
Doesn’t sound like my kind of book, but if I find it in a friend’s house, I will definitely read it. Thanks for the rec.
yes stress is vry hard in hi skool.
but gud for u 4 studing and we al hope u get a gud mark! iyh
PBA: Now that I’ve given it fair play, I’m scared of saying LH. Check out the forum titles…
WIY: Nope I’m as FFB as they come. It’s my Achilles’ heel.
Every major person in my life uses a different term from the ones you listed, and only ‘bless you’ makes sense to me in English.
So this is my brain on sneezing:
<sneeze>
“Not bless you what are you supposed to say”
“tzugezimheitissa”
“it’s too late to say it now”
“quick say bless you”
“mumble wumble hope it sounded like the right thing”
YW 42 – there was a sale on them at the Kollel Store. That’s why.
I have never visited this website. I cannot stand shidduch agony fests.
And your parents?
Sorry for being so tough on you, but I need to balance out everyone else’s sympathy.
We are getting one side of a story here, since we are anonymous and as you correctly point out this would be LH if we knew the people.
However, I have dealt with issues like this where there were psychological issues on the part of the student involved. I’m not saying you have, but we should all be aware that this is a possibility.
Of course it is wrong to abuse a student, and it must be terrible to be so distressed that you do not wish to go to school. Now that you have the numbers you need, you should use them constructively rather than updating us regularly.
I prefer frum doctors personally. I think Jewish doctors are in general better doctors. But that is not the point of this topic, so whatever.
LOL great reactions!
You are allowed to learn any Torah on Shabbos, because your neshama enjoys it. That’s what I learned.
I love learning any time, so it was never an issue.
It’s nearly Rosh Hashana! I had better start doing teshuva!
WIY: I’d like to know how to explain “shidduch parsha” in English. Not that I get the opportunity to very often, but it should come in handy sometimes.
Also, I can never remember what to say when someone sneezes. I picked up “bless you” from my non-Jewish former workplace, but that really sounds strange in a frum environment.
You need to talk to the principals, call one of the many available hotlines. If not that, I doubt that this story is true. Call Rabbi Yaakov Horowitz. Why are you posting this on an anonymous website where no one can help you?
Lots of snow. The wind did blow. To shovel I did not go. Snow, snow, snow.
It must have been a red herring. 🙂
I can just picture in court – here’s my red herring, toot toot!
LOL, I learned about it in college. I was aware of BSE before then but didn’t know the whole concept of prion diseases.
Back to the thread topic, I definitely believe that chemistry is somewhat important, of course it mostly develops later but you need to like the person somewhat! That’s why you can’t marry a girl off without at least letting her see the chasan.
Being a very short snail is quite useful in the snow. I love being a snort! And BH I got my wish – the streets were plowed and the salt we put out before Shabbos was sufficient, and there is snow on the house and not where I need to walk!
Some clarification: A desert – a barren land. A dessert is a delicacy after a meal.
‘Just deserts’ means “that which one deserves”, and it is spelled with one S, but pronounced like the after-meal word.
The word “desert” also means payback, but it is generally not used in that sense in isolation. It has nothing whatsoever to do with dessert.
As a play on words, you will sometimes see the phrase “just desserts” referring to a restaurant, the idea being that you deserve the great food, but this is a pun and has nothing to do with the actual meaning of the word.
PBA is obviously aware of this but as other people are mixing up the terms in this thread, I thought it would be worthwhile to make it explicit.
WIY: And why not? D’oraysa there’s no difference.
On the market: It sounds like you really want to switch, but have other reasons you are not telling us that is making this a major challenge. That’s fine but you really need to think on it.
WIY: It would be so much better if it was Jewish men who aren’t frum?
Edit: It’s not like it happens all the time, and I make it pretty clear I’m not interested if I so much as sense interest. But I can’t even imagine what it’s like for someone straight out of BY.
What exactly is Discworld about? It sounds confusing.
And I hear the smart girls are getting Master’s and PhD’s instead of becoming Chumash teachers. Equally untrue. I love Chumash and it is not a contradiction to secular knowledge and being practical.
There is nothing wrong with a man who works hard making set times for learning and making realistic plans for a parnasa because he wants to be responsible and support a family in a Torah lifestyle. In my opinion that’s great. If he is leaving only for kavod then he probably wasn’t learning lishma in the first place.
