Has anyone ordered this with the metal mat? Is it really like the arcade version?
I thought that was bubbe meises.

There is a B flat version also.
This may be a day late and a dollar short, but did anyone notice how after the judge presumably made the phone call, she was holding the wig with rubber gloves, and pulled them off disdainfully? More made-for-TV drama.
Can anyone recommend a good phone for making phone calls???
Wow, Wolf, you should get out more…
I wonder if a rabbinic ban on TV would/should extend to appearing on Peoples Court? Hmmm.
FWIW, I’ve been married 13+ years and have one wig and 2 falls, but rarely wear any of them because they give me headaches.
Whoa, Rabbi V, that guy is a nutcase.
I hope you didn’t hear from Mr. BP Esq after that day!!

“I’ve just been told, on good word, that Georgie Wigs has commented on this incident as follows:
1. The employee who answered the phone call when The People’s Court called, did not advise or identify to the caller that any particular wig or label number was not purchased from Georgie Wigs. This is in contradiction to the statement made by the arbiter on the show, that was used as the basis for the dismissal.
2. After looking at the damaged wig in question, have determined this is the Georgie Wig that the $3,000 receipt represented. (This physical inspection occurred after the arbiter dismissed the case.)
This ought to put to final lie this incident as fodder for the usual anti-semites. No doubt they will ignore this, even if indisputably disproved, and will be sure to fabricate other “incidents” to attack Frum Yidden.

I heard it from a spouse of an employee. But since you asked, I called Georgie Wigs directly at their listed number and they’ve told me directly. In a nutshell Georgie said that Ms. Milian from the People’s Court has lied on the show. The ruined wig was a $3,000 Georgie wig. Feel free to call them yourself.”
Has anyone else independently verified this? On one hand I think it’s important, OTOH I think it would be a bad idea for CR members to flood Georgie’s with phone calls when they are trying to run a business.
10 Luchos – I got it, and before the clue phone rang. I’m so proud of myself.
That’s funny, you don’t look moderatorish.
Moderator Yichus!
“Chinamen”? I believe the cleaners are Mexican/Latino, not asian.
I’d say that this thread is no longer so helpful. I personally don’t believe that someone’s spoken lashon hara unless I’ve heard (seen) it.
I’d return for corrections any post with more than 2 spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, EXCESSIVE CAPITALIZATION AND PUNCTUATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much – this has been so helpful.
If I go to Target in a half hour, I can save $50 on a Kitchen Aid mixer.
If I go to bed instead, I save another $199.99.
I do love sleep…
Wouldn’t the one asking the shaila be expecting to follow the psak? Wouldn’t it be a wasted shaila to do otherwise?
Popa, unless you a medical doctor with experience dealing in metabolic disorders, you may be “right” about your own experience, but you cannot speak for anyone else.
The question is “How many people would shop in a chic, stylish plus size women’s boutique?” Not “will the benches be able to seat Popa”? Frankly, I don’t think you need to concern yourself with spending time in a women’s clothing store of any type.
To expand on an above comment, Dress Barn stores have separate sides for regular and plus sizes, but many of the same styles. I think that is a great idea.
In the minivan carpool brigade at my kids’ yeshivas, there are rarely any red ones to be seen…
I get a lot of my clothes from plus size catalogs. Fortunately longer skirts are “in” now. My biggest problem is finding shells. I don’t think I would shop in an expensive boutique.
Baskin Robbins Turkey ice cream cake? Please tell me that’s not the flavor! 😛
For some reason I am reminded of a picture of a frum family in Israel walking down the street on Purim, every single member dressed in red suits with furry white trim.
Carry on. (munch munch – mmmm, Empire turkey)
As a relative newcomer I still don’t get all this “oy” stuff. I was taught to say the first syllable “adoh” and the second “nai” (rhymes with eye). If you are saying this is somehow wrong, could you quote a source?
We can also remind ourselves to emulate Avraham by thanking Hashem. Chesed we do is (should be) ultimately in His honor.
Bacos. It just seems wrong.
I only get Pride of the Farm (Star K). I have never had a problem with it. Go figure – I am in the tri-state area and I would assume it’s coming from Baltimore.
Why is a snood “less dressed up” than a tichel?
Apushatayid: “According to my parenting class, its not good parenting to be be cross-examining your kids. I guess the guy who gives the class never went to law school and doesn’t know the thrill of a cross examination :)”
Don’t underestimate the thrill of finding out the true identity of “Not Me” and “I Don’t Know”!
Asyeger: “You should hear me cross-examine my kids when something happens!).” I love it!
You can ask the mods to put in under your name if you want 🙂
Why should a “learning boy” be intimidated? Shouldn’t he be thrilled at the prospect of a wife who can support his family so they don’t have to live off of one or both sets of parents?
“undecided”?????
Many years ago (pre-frum days), I knew a woman with a law degree and a daughter my child’s age who was bemoaning the fact that she had “over-achieved herself out of eligibility to be a stay-at-home mom”. I felt for her, esp. because I was in my 30s when my daughter was born, was absolutely thrilled about being a mom, and didn’t care about using my bachelor’s degree anymore.
On the other hand, a woman with intellect and ability could become frustrated and feel like she’s stagnated if she isn’t able to use her faculties. If she and her husband have agreed that she will support them while he learns, kol hakavod. They have a much better chance of being able to support their children’s learning down the road than today’s yeshiva families.
Always a bottle of wine. If they get too many, there’s always Pesach.
Artchill – We did that one year, and it was all gone. I don’t think they shared.
Purim costumes go on sale Nov. 1. 😉

LeBron. Ha. He couldn’t do it alone, he had to go find help.
We know darn well what makes men tick but we are either idealistically hoping that by that point in our marriage, our husbands love us, weight and all, or we are too exhausted to deal with anything but their kids, their laundry and their food.
This has nothing to do with BY. If you want more attention from your wife, hire cooking, cleaning and babysitting help so that she doesn’t feel like a wrung-out rag at the end of every day. If you can’t do that, help her. If you can’t do that, thank Hashem repeatedly that you are blessed with a woman not only enabled you to have children who is still willing and able do all those things for the sake of you and your family.
P.S. Thank you to Vick for your post.
They remind me of Palestinians. Scream, scream, scream, threaten, threaten, whine, but when someone gets back in their face (with the attention they want), they get all indignant and surly (-ier). That’s some serious hate Phelps has been dishing out to his own family a la Arabs keeping their own people oppressed and angry against some perceived/fabricated outside “enemy”. Mamish.
Wow. I am in awe of your story, and glad to see the supportive responses here. My 0.02: First, definitely pursue the shaila with a gadol i.e. R’ Belsky shlita. Second, wait to pursue shidduchim until you have everything straightened out (i.e. paperwork from a bais din, if that’s the outcome). Third, take all advice with a grain of salt (including mine, if you wish, LOL) – people are well-meaning, but rely on the psak you receive, not on advice you get here or anywhere else. Finally, be careful who you tell what. I applaud your candor, but once your situation is worked out, only a shadchan needs to know the details. I seem to remember there is a shadchan who works with girls who cannot marry Kohanim, but I don’t remember who. When you’re ready, your b’shert will be too! Hatzlacha!!
I have been saying recently that I hope the shidduch system is fixed before my children are in the parsha, but I have changed my mind. I want to know exactly where people stand re: BTs so that we know right away the kind of families we DON’T want our FF3 etc. children to marry into.
My children love Torah and Yiddishkeit. They don’t go through the motions like automatons. I’m not saying that all FFBs do, but I’ve seen so many who just seem to take it for granted. As a BT, one of the best gifts Hashem could give me (besides, say, Moshiach) is frum grandchildren who love Torah as much as I do because of the love they see in their families for Torah.
We took on CY when we moved to an area where it is easier to get. I won’t buy CS cheese, but we still eat M&Ms.
Apushatayid, do you have a little brother, with your sense of humor, to set up with my 12yo daughter?
I have friends who are moving to Bmore and I wish I were going with them! Strong community, choice of schools, low housing costs.
This is a great topic!!!
I was on crutches from an accident, with tens of stitches in my knee, and was floored when a woman I barely knew (a friend of a friend), who appeared to be ready to give birth at any second, showed up with dinner. I felt like I should have been bringing HER dinner!!
I had knee surgery several years later, and a non-Jewish neighbor took me around in my mini-van so I could do my Shabbos shopping. For hours, negotiating mounds of snow…
I had to have surgery several months after moving hundreds of miles to a place where we knew almost nobody. For two weeks, people I didn’t know brought us food. It was supposed to have been outpatient surgery, but there were complications, and I was laid up much longer than I had planned on. One woman brought my kids home from school every single day. And, I still had a job when I had recovered.
When I was a little girl, my mom would send me to the store next door to get “one or two things”. Without fail, the person in front of me would let me go in front of them – “is that all you have?” Now I try to do the same (but there are express lines these days, so it doesn’t happen as much).
A chasid walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender looks at them and says, “where did you get that?”
The parrot says, “14th Ave in Boro Park. There are thousands of them!”
