    We have all heard these stories and it wasn’t right to be less than honest with the girl. Maybe she has a right to be upset or angry that she wasn’t leveled with, regardless of the reason. But, would it have changed the girls mind regarding the marriage? I would think no one can be that shallow.

    BP Totty got it right. I have a friend that for the past 50 years our friendship has endured. Did we ever have an argument? of course we did. Did we ever become angry with each other for something or other? of course. But we realized we were both human and that humans make mistakes and that to forgive is one of Hashems middos that we are suppossed to emulate.

    Funny how in our early school years we have a rest period so we can function better after resting and we never equate this to the rest of our lives. I read where in japan they have realized that a well rested employee does a better job, so they have brought back the “rest period” concept and give people time to rest during the workday. male or female, it doesn’t matter. We all need it to function.

    when it says a truly happy person is one who is “someach b’chelko” I think it doesn,t mean only with money but also with other things that influence a persons feelings. You never know what the other persons ‘pekaleh’ contains, so never be jealous.

    wolf,

    it seems to be a case of the employee, whom you claim has the owners permission to act for him regarding the store asked you to do something so you acted for him which by extension gave you permission. Therefore, continue doing the right thing and be assured that you were not liable to feel you did an injustice to the owner of the store.

    Once a week we get take out so my wife gets a break. On Sundays we usually try to have a family day since the week is so hectic and time is scarse with everyone doing their own thing. When we get back in the evening The family gets dropped off and Dad goes out to get dinner for everyone.

    in reply to: Tipping a delivery boy – Mandatory or Optional? #920267
    winny1
    Participant

    RB, I was a delivery person for many years and never thought a tip was mandatory. But, I looked forward to getting one as all people in that line of work do. BTW, I use the term delivery person because I was not a boy at that time. I was in my thirties, barely making ends meet working as an accountant, paying 3 yeshiva tuitions and needing extra parnassa.

    Many people are busy with other things in their life when the delivery person shows up and often neglect to think of tipping. I never felt angry if I wasn’t tipped because it is not mandatory,but I was definately disappointed.

    After being in that situation myself I asked my wife to be certain to always give a tip because it is the mentchlich thing to do.

    why do parents love children more than children love parents? Because parents do more for their children than children do for the parents. The key to love is doing for the other spouse. The more you do for someone else, the more you love THEM.

    A future father-in-law asks the boy what he plans on doing. The boy says he will be sitting and learning. What about Parnasah asks the girls father. Hashem will help, says the boy. The future mother-in-law asks her husband, “How did it go”? Her husband says “pretty good, he showed me alot of respect and even thinks that I’m G-d.”

    Participant

    About 40 years ago my Rosh Yeshiva bent down to pick up a penny. One of the bucherim asked him if it wasn’t below his dignity to do so. The Rosh answered that if Hashem put it in front of him and he did not pick it up he would be showing he is ungrateful, and Hashem might think he is not interested in money and no longer send it. Then how would the yeshiva exist?
