Thank you, MIB, that cleared up a lot for me.
LOL PBA.
I have no idea what to do with teenage boys period, but I believe that you can’t make them do anything. Just like you can’t make teenage girls do anything.
It has a website
Contact Malky Giniger.
But we get brachos from our parents that we should be like Ephraim and Menashe
You can’t have one, Yaakov Avinu gave us a bracha we wouldn’t.
Is it terrible that every time I see this thread, I think of Tom Riddle?
This is the first time I felt good about having only one name!
Good one, PBA.
We need a rating system.
We want to take away the zchus of learning Torah. Chess, anyone?
Women are just better multitaskers. So we are able to work and go to shiurim. Men just have a harder time doing so.
/tongue firmly in cheek/
To whom it may concern; namely, the author of this thread:
When it comes to posting on YWN CR, how much is too much?

Derech Hamelech: Thank you for starting such a wonderful thread; it is good to see people taking grammar seriously. 🙂
I hear the all-girls and all-boys are pretty good.
Asara B’Teves is a truly sad day. It is first mentioned by Yechezkel Hanavi, and it is a time for us all to do teshuva on mitzvos bein adam l’chaveiro.
Warning: Here comes a megilla.
How a BT adjusts ultimately depends on how well you integrate into the community, and that depends on your willingness to take on customs that may not make sense to you, but are the norm in your neighborhood. Most BTs who did not adopt social norms have difficulty with their children integrating as well.
BTs tend to be more thought out than FFBs. This is a good thing, in my humble opinion. For example, BT parents are more willing to send a kid to therapy or use medication if needed. They are more honest about their own faults and open to growth.
However, they need to understand that there is a mild stigma for shidduchim, and not tell their neighbors/friends/coworkers about it. Or they like dressing their little ones in flowery dresses, but everyone else in the preschool is wearing striped jumpers. Or they insist on flouting a school rule that doesn’t make sense to them.
Becoming Orthodox isn’t just about keeping Mitzvos, although that’s the major part of it. It’s also becoming a member of a community, with all the responsibilities, annoyances, and trusting the leadership that that entails. You need to have a Rabbi and be realistic about who you are, where you are growing, and what your children need.
Most BTs and children of BTs with whom I am familiar are indistinguishable from FFBs. They don’t talk about their past unless it is relevant, and are focused on serving Hashem and personal growth. I deeply admire them and would love to be like that.
If you integrate well, you don’t really worry about discrimination, as you realize that any school that won’t accept your children (after you apply appropriate Rabbinical pressure, using your networking to its fullest), probably isn’t the school for you.
You realize that shidduchim are bashert.
Anyone foolish enough to turn down your sweet, beautiful, bright, active, Torah-valuing, Mitzva-doing daughter because you are a BT is not worthy of her, and there are plenty of families in the same situation who will be happy to marry with yours.
Hashem says that in the place where a BT stands, a completely righteous person cannot stand. Hashem loves you, and will help you get to the position you need in life.
All the best,

That’s a really interesting question. I would love to see the place where Moshe Rabbeinu translated the Torah!
WIY: So do I. 🙂 It’s funny and a bit sad as well, that anyone would think so. Sometimes a parody is the best way to get people to recognize the inconsistencies of their personal opinions, and I hope more people realize that. I really enjoyed this one because it has the potential to sum up a lot of misconceptions that are prevalent today.
Since you point out that people are taking me seriously, let me state that this list is a parody of what are popularly considered the things that today’s guys are looking for. None of them make any sense or really matter when it comes to building a ??? ???? ??????.
more_2: I’m actually making fun 🙂
What was the hidden reference in #9?
If we have nothing for 8, then 8 should be years of support, and 7 what I said, no?
I thought of a 7.
7 days a week where she’s in a good mood
I find it a bit sensationalist, but as I get that for free from Country Yossi, it’s not worth it to buy Ami.
It’s harder to find a case where a man was NOT influenced by his wife. But I think the case of Adriel, Michal Bas Shaul’s husband, would be an example
I am not Joseph, is your mother still alive?
Dating him might be worth it just for the exposure.
Oomis is exactly right. If a child is seizing or very sick, it doesn’t matter what the fever is, they need immediate attention. Alternatively, if the child seems fine but has 102 or 103, he’s probably fine.
Health claimed that 103 is not a high fever, we just need to be clear that it is.
More_2. I am not.
Aurora, glad you liked it!
Now that was a very creative thread topic.
uneeq: Great list!
Health, you’re wrong. A 103 fever is extremely dangerous unless it immediately starts to go down.
It takes a 107 fever to produce brain damage. However, children will usually experience seizures, hallucinations and/or delirium even before it gets that high. Any of those symptoms requires emergency treatment, even if the temperature measured is less than 103.
At 105 and rising, it is time to call an ambulance; it is foolish to wait until brain damage actually occurs. Prevention is the best treatment, and children’s brains are very delicate.
True, 103 is usually not life-threatening, but it is the point where you begin aggressively treating the fever. Most ordinary childhood illnesses should not produce a temperature above 103 for very long; if it goes higher and Tylenol/Motrin/a cool bath isn’t reducing it to 102 or so, you should call a doctor immediately.
I usually don’t speak so sharply, but as you claim to be in the health field, I have to be clear so that people don’t listen to your dangerous advice.
I love Rabbi Brevda’s shiurim. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks Uncle Moishy!
Cashmere tablecloths? Sounds like very expensive disposable tablecloths.
Personally, I only date boys whose families use silk tablecloths. (Yes I am joking – I am sure if I did not write this, someone would take it seriously!)
Very good, pba, and yes we also noticed that you predicted the Midrash about the number of steps in a lifetime. Has today been a good day for your ego?
Who is going to provide the shooting lessons?
People love reading about other people’s problems.
Not in this situation, but have you considered going out of town or starting a new business?

A mamzer can’t marry. Hence, is his zivug not called out?
There’s a website that begins with a g, ends with an e and has an oogl in the middle, it may be more helpful.
It depends where you work, someone I know works in a place where they have to wear a certain color.
Sounds more like a biscotti, or something meant for tomato dip.
Is it healthy?
It’s hard to find scrubs that are tznius. One solution is to buy scrub pants and add material, sewing it into a skirt. There are scrub skirts available but they tend to have slits and not give a tznius impression.
Golfer – agreed.
But it was a funny joke, and waiting to be said.
This is quite a talent.
What kind of bread comes out – can you make challa or is it more like whole wheat bread? (Maybe they have different varieties in Israel)
