yentingyentaParticipant
WIY, trivialized in that singing the brachos is a contest, singing maoz tzur is nonexistent, fighting over who gets to use the camera and video camera, who got better gifts etc. I’m more down to earth-I prefer tangible over theoretical. part of the problem is I am more serious than the rest of my family so even discussing this with my parents wont really change the situation. my father would not get what I mean so there is no reason to even tell him…
But on the bright side, I think I may light this year, even if I don’t have a good reason…
yentingyentaParticipantya it get that. its not that i feel ‘weird’ in the usual sense. trust me, lighting is the least of things that makes me stand out…
last year I didn’t feel excited I guess which was odd. i mean, who doesn’t look forward to chanukah? well last year i was kinda in the mid of finals during chanukah so that may have been contributory…
I’m thinking about it. Maybe I will re-light again this year.
yentingyentaParticipantoom, LOL but i still dont get what you dont get
yentingyentaParticipantsjsinNYC, I like that way of thinking. thanks
yentingyentaParticipantaurora, its truly is. G-d willing you should see it soon too!
WIY, i tried that. last year too. i think i have part of the reason; i posted it last year. it got trivialized a bit in my house…
OOM, whats that supposed to mean? 😀
yentingyentaParticipantHi Aurora, thanks so much for your inspiring and beautiful post!
I’ve been thinking and I realized my 6 year old sister constantly compares her older siblings for differences and I may have to light so we don’t have to explain anything to her and she doesnt get confused… 🙂
yentingyentaParticipantbump
chanukah’s in a few days and I’m still undecided about this year…
anyone have any inspiring reasons or vertlach to share on lighting?
thanks!
yentingyentaParticipantThanks Syag. IY”H more simchos very soon for all of Klal Yisroel!
yentingyentaParticipantpostsem, I just got home! but IY”H I hope to go back soon. we loved seeing my aunt and uncle and their fam.
Syag, we drove. left right after the chasuna and drove through the night.
yentingyentaParticipantthe snow’s already melted and its warmer back here. I even have the window open next to me
Goq, Passaic is in North Jersey-we got snow. Lakewood is in central Jersey and had rain
yentingyentaParticipantPost sem zactly 🙂
Syag oh fursure…. Being that it snowed back east while we were here it should b warmer in Passaic
yentingyentaParticipantLOl syag. I’m not that hard to miss. I’m wearing a black dress and 4 inch heels 🙂
The wedding is beautiful. Much nicer than some halls in ny.
And it’s freezing here. Like Cleveland in dead of winter
yentingyentaParticipantHi guys yes I’m at the wedding now. And IMHO I think it’s cold out
yentingyentaParticipant@ mod 42, kasha varnishkas is my 5 year old sister’s favorite shabbos dish.
yentingyentaParticipantthis week I soaked the beans over night and boiled beans, barley and potatoes a few hours before adding the meat
hopefully it will work out better than last week
a gut shabbos
November 14, 2012 5:17 pm at 5:17 pm in reply to: Finish the sentence, There's nothing like a good ______! #907340yentingyentaParticipantchapping a difficult topic
a good cup of coffee
a good night’s sleep
a hot shower/bubble bath
a good mark
yentingyentaParticipantthis weeks left overs werent so great. maybe next week
yentingyentaParticipantso it turned out OK. the bottom was a little burned but the rest of it was very good. we left the flame on a drop too high overnight so we moved it off a bit in the morning so the cholent tasted normal.
I’m going to try it again next week b/c it liked this cholent more than the crock pot even if its more work
yentingyentaParticipant2scents, we tried it last week during the blackout and it I used the same recipe as usual but with more water. by lunch the barley was cooked but not the beans.
estherhamalka, we tried it last week but it kinda flopped so i’m trying again
Health, we put it up @ 10 so its bubbling now. and we add water as we need to. 1 marrow bone went in now and a piece of minute steak is going in later. but its cooking and smells good
but if its edible, there shouldnt be any leftovers 🙂
yentingyentaParticipantYavne in Cleveland-board by families. VERY academic
Maalot in Baltimore
Intensive has dorms in brkln but its a teaching seminary

October 28, 2012 1:49 am at 1:49 am in reply to: Gift for Jewish, intermarried, but interested preceptor #901252yentingyentaParticipantSHE IS NOT ASKING ABOUT A WEDDING GIFT! she is asking about a thank you gift to her preceptor, the person who guided her on the floor for a bit.
hudi,we used to give coffee and donuts + a card to the floor and instructor. never had a preceptor (yet, IY”H soon). Did she/he ever say “i’d really like X”?
yentingyentaParticipanthi oomis and nechomah, we went out again and it was nice. I had some niggling feelings about him but was thinking about agreeing to another date. in the end he ended it because our personalities didnt match. I’m relieved I wasn’t the one to end it that it didnt work out. but I’ve learned some things about myself from the experience and thats invaluable. BE”H the Aibeshter should send the right one at the right time.
(ps, thanks you crackerjack for your phone call)
yentingyentaParticipant🙂 thanks oomis, IY”H it will be good!
yentingyentaParticipantmom22, either way, I found out so there is no point debating if it was correct or not. the thing is, I didn’t feel nervous or anxious on the first date. a bit more shy/quiet than I usually but then again, we had just met. My usual nervous habits are playing with my jewelry so I wore only the minimal so I wouldn’t do alot the fidgeting. the next date is in very dif setting than the first so I’m hoping I can be more of myself. thanks for your post
yentingyentaParticipantpet peeve, I appreciated the feedback and I want to correct it. nothing wrong about that.
oomis, you always have great posts and this one’s included. thanks. I’ll try the open ended questions and see how it goes.
yentingyentaParticipantshlishi, uh… NO
Mimk, thanks. I’ll try that
mom22, I think i was nervous the first time because we had just met. right now i’m distracting myself with school work but once i’m done with that (ya right) i’m going to try your ideas.
OOM, (rolling my eyes)
yaakov doe, true but when i’m nervous i sometimes have a hard time concentrating
thanks everyone!
yentingyentaParticipantstill not getting FF. or google drive
yentingyentaParticipantThinking?
yentingyentaParticipantSnorts are usually accompanied by eyerolls. So was checking

yentingyentaParticipantwe had that problem when we used shop lights. our tables were centered under the lights and it was gross. this year we had new lights. this year we had these
and hung them around the outside border of the sukkah and it worked
yentingyentaParticipanthehe i assume you are rolling your eyes too
yentingyentaParticipantwe live near a public school and some teachers park to the inch of our driveway. but we have this HUGE tree right next to our driveway and makes pulling out difficult if they park to close. so when it happens we park in a neighbors driveway 🙂
yentingyentaParticipantso does count. takes time to edit the pages, find all the resources you used, make sure its APA style and alphabetical order.
yentingyentaParticipantOOM, true but how often is that today?
TLKY, I have been using DB for 2 years and have no interest in switching. I tried Drive but was not impressed. plus I share some infrequently updated files with someone so I need DB anyways. plus, how much does word docs, pdfs and ppt’s really take up?
yentingyentaParticipantyup. and easier than remembering to carry around a usb drive everywhere
yentingyentaParticipantactually came out to 8 cuz of title page, abstract and resources.
dropbox is online cloud storage. you make an account and get 2 GB free but by doing some stuff, you can increase storage. I currently have 3 GB. they also have paid plans. from the website, you can upload files and they are accessible anywhere with internet to download to any computer. they also have mobile apps where you can save some files on the phone or iPod touch for anytime reading. they also have a program download that makes a file called “dropbox” on your computer. any files you save in that file automatically upload to the dropbox website for access anywhere. and any other computer you put dropbox on (and log into same account) syncs automatically as well.
yentingyentaParticipantwell hmph on you. the first time I signed into chrome via google it told me that if i sign into chrome on a dif computer it transfers e/t over so I was informed but of course I was like “ya when am i ever going to need this if my computer is gonna last for a few more years…” and of course when my computer was only 2 years old I had to get a new one ASAP as in “I have a 6 page APA format paper due in 2 days” ASAP.
so B”H my father is unbelieveable and took me to get a new one that day, got chrome and DropBox for the new one and wrote the whole paper done.
oh and dropbox is the best.
yentingyentaParticipantwhats more insulting, the fact i’m using chrome or IE? 😛
oh and cuz I logged into chrome on my old computer, when I logged into chrome on the new computer, all my settings stayed the same. and my saved passwords crossed over too. shall I continue why I love chrome?

yentingyentaParticipantIts gonna be full of Jews wherever you go on chol hamoed.
yentingyentaParticipantI said “no offense” so what’s the hmph for
yentingyentaParticipantTurtleBack Zoo in West Orange NJ is also really nice. the Butterfly and bird exhibits are closed now but apparently they are doing alot of construction and adding to the zoo. And IIRC everything is included in the price
yentingyentaParticipantthis is one of our family favorites
1 small can button mushrooms
tomatoes
one small onion sliced
2 scallions, cut in small rings (optional)
2 T oil
2 T vinegar
1 T sugar or splenda
Can also add 1 can hearts of palm (Hadar is good), and/or avocado cut in chunks. can add/subtract ingredients based on family preferences (we use lots more tomato than mushrooms)
tastes best if marinates 1/2-1 hour. does not taste good if marinated overnight. best when fresh
yentingyentaParticipantcalling OOM. i kinda crashed my laptop by spilling coffee on it… got a new one but I’m not putting FF on it yet. I’m using chrome for all my regular internet stuff and I’m using IE9 for my school website. as long as I can stay off FF, the better. no offense but chrome is way better
yentingyentaParticipantHi e/o. glad I’m not the only one who felt funny. and I hate my crocs. they are great for slippers but not for standing. If I don’t find them comfortable, then they must be what I should wear? or does that not make sense?
yentingyentaParticipant12 angry men was a very good play to read. also, Our Town
Dandelion wine, separate peace, Huck Finn, Cain Mutiny Court Trial (needs editing for curse words), tale of 2 cities.
Shakespeare- JC, Merchant of Venice, Hamlet and Macbath
phantom tollbooth, animal farm.
yentingyentaParticipantdisregard my previous post.
Curiosity, I was never offended by your posts. I was curious to hear what your thoughts were but I took no offense at what you wrote.
yentingyentaParticipantinterjection, are you referring to my comments?
yentingyentaParticipantthen why did it go through the first time around?
yentingyentaParticipant95, if thats the case, why wasn’t the entire discussion removed? and also, so i know for future posts, what part was wrong? thanks
yentingyentaParticipantIt was during davening and chumash class. we heard terrorists had crashed a plane full of people and thats all we heard. we had an assembly for tehillim IIRC because some of the students had parents in the WTC.
my uncle was on the one of the last trains into wtc and basically under the tower when the 2nd plane hit
