Someone gave me a recipe, but I need their permission to post it.
I do believe that this is an appropriate place to plug my thread, which is the top Google result for “Shidduch crisis theory”: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/bread-theory-of-the-shidduch-crisis
Hey, where did my update go?
Rob appeared to all the world as an innocent dentist living in Ecuador. Only his wife knew that he was a double agent for the Taliban from the NSA. With the whir of his instruments drowning out any bugs, and the inducement of a minor toothache, spies felt comfortable telling him their secrets, which he then passed on to his superiors.
But his amnesia had started to recede, and every day he remembered more and more of his childhood. “Reuven! That’s my name!” he exclaimed one day over breakfast. His daughter Nili looked at him worriedly. “Dad, are you okay?” she asked.
Rob left his breakfast to get to his office early. And he told his receptionist to make an appointment with every Rivky in the telephone book. If there was any possibility of finding out what had happened to him, it lay with his scheming older sister.
Meanwhile, writersoul was face to face with Rivky.
Golfer: I ended it here so as to provide closure. The rest is epilogue. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/inshidduchimcom-is-that-the-jewish-way/page/3?view=all#post-473474
PBA, also Zack Dunlap, who heard doctors discussing harvesting his organs.
You can google “Brain activity after brain death” which shows that deeper parts of the brain may be active even after a patient is declared “brain dead” (by a flat isoelectric line)

By the death penalty, no standard of proof is good enough for the liberals.
But all of a sudden, when it comes to sick people, one hospital, who has a financial incentive, is enough to force the family to kill their daughter.
First write it, than worry about publication.
Exactly, Syag. Forget about the value system.
If you’re the one who puts her in a coma, it’s incredibly insensitive to make a fuss about taking her off life support.
Goq: Really????
GAW: the girls really don’t have much of a say in the matter.
maybe that contributes
Wow, thank you for sharing this wonderful news! May you use your good fortune for many good things for yourself and klal yisrael!
Don’t commute if you can help it. It’s a pretty bad commute.
I’m happy and I’m frum and I have fun
Get Smicha and become a Rabbi
Be a big brother to kids from unstable homes
Make beer and bread and pickles
Do you really trust a doctor from the same hospital that killed her during a simple tonsillectomy procedure to decide just how brain dead she is?
Also, the mother claims that her daughter is responsive. And I am much more trusting of the mother than of the doctor, who has a financial motive to want to get the girl off life support.
Having the same people who destroyed your daughter’s life take her off life support only rubs salt in the parent’s wound. At least have a different organization do it.
Dear hospital, don’t be so eager to finish off the job.
What an informative thread.
Sometimes there are people who have more fun than you and you might be jealous of them. Is it a good idea to make them frummer in the hope that then they won’t do so much fun stuff? Or do frum people still have fun?
Lol. You should make them frummer, than they will find it fun to be with you.
Squeak: To answer for Popa, I’d explain about infinities.
I used to be a member, wasn’t very helpful, they still spam me even though I’m married and requested to be taken off the list.
Good point, squeak.
Google “projection”.
Torah613, that was very cynical of you. Sure that could be a motivation, but mockery can be very powerful and stinging, and understanding where it comes from can be very beneficial in withstanding the effect
You’re right. I shouldn’t have responded that.
The OP makes a good point.
My favorite songs are:
Di Bletele
Di Torah
Ach Vi Shein
Shelo Asani Goy
Shabbos Kodesh
Yakob
Techiyas Hameisim
But I like the rest too.
Frankly, I wouldn’t expect anything from a shadchan I didn’t pay.
I liked what Redleg said.
rd: Wow, you sound really flexible and forgiving.
1. GIYF
2. Same as nicotine
3. Sure, but you might as well breath air.
4. That’s what minarets are for.
Makah b’patish
Also, because there are 12 shevatim.
Her name is Devorah Heller, and she doesn’t mind being posted online, and I’ve called her.
The reason your challah is cracking is because it rose too much. Have it rise less next time and you’ll be fine.
Yes, people try to knock down others in order to feel good about themselves.
Did you see that person who started a thread about it? They think they’re so much better than everyone else who knocks down people who think they’re frummer?
Both!
Hashem said in Parshas Noach that there will always be seasons. It doesn’t really worry me if they are warmer or colder than usual. We don’t even know what “usual” is supposed to be.
Listen to Yiddish Gems.
I have a funny story about seminary meforash translations:
So I was at an interview and translating a meforesh. Problem was, I thought it meant something inappropriate. Now I knew it couldn’t possibly mean that, but the alternate meaning was too obvious for me to see past it. So I told the interviewer I didn’t know what it meant and went on. And I got waitlisted.
(it was something like translating ?????? ????? to “your teeth should be white”. Obviously wrong, but once you look at it that way, impossible to un-see without help.)
Well, back when I was dating, a working boy meant anything from “not learning or doing anything right now” to “learning now but thinks he’d be willing to work someday” to “in school for a bachelors and not sure what he wants to do afterwards” to “has a plan for parnassa and is almost there” to “has a plan for parnassa and is doing it”.
I only considered the last two “working boys”.
I have to second the Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh series. One suggestion he makes is to think of Hashem at every opportunity. Just think, Thank you Hashem that I got to eat lunch, Hashem I’m so upset I can’t find a parking spot, Please Hashem help me say good things at this meeting, Hashem I hope this food is good and my spouse will enjoy it and use it to serve You… Even without working on your Emunah, just thinking about Hashem in this way makes you spiritually stronger.
I thought Popa’s pizza analogy was brilliant.
All analogies break down at some point. /general observation
once: It’s parshas Va’era and makkas tzefardea this week… get it?
Cute thread.
I’m actually curious what people mean by “good” shadchan.
BTW the ramps off the Prospect Expwy have a speed limit of 5 mph… I know someone who got a speeding ticket for going on the ramps at 10 mph.
