i know SGO stands for “student government organization” so GO must stand for government org or some variation of it
We have it but I don’t have the time today to write a summary. just one point I have to say. Celiac disease (CD) is lifelong. the body is reacting to gluten and that is what causes the signs and symptoms. if one refrains from eating gluten and maintains a STRICT gluten free diet, the small intestine can heal and the symptoms will go away. Its like diabetes. a person can control it with medications and diet but there is no “cure”. the article is misleading; the rest of the article looked accurate but I did not read it with a fine toothed comb.
justsmile613, nope. I’ve heard a few houses going/on sale and those are the numbers i heard. the 200-350K houses are in passaic or in clifton near the cemetery or the other side of main near 21? I doubt those are the houses by The Circle/park area
Health, Thats Toms River, not Passaic. If you have a problem with the P/C water, don’t drink it.
Health “I just had a gut feeling that you would question me on this -I don’t know why.
First of all, what does Brooklyn have to do with this?
Second of all, I know s/o who died from CA there at a young age – <40 and it could have been from the drinking water.
When I was a Bochur there – they said – Not to drink the water. “
brooklyn because you can’t drink the water from brooklyn secondary to the bugs you can’t see
and second of all, if thats the reasoning, don’t drink the water in any part of the world because unfortunately young people get CA too.
and when you were a bachur here i’m sure is a long time ago. things DO change over time. my family drinks the water, my neighbors drink the water. my friend who lives across town drinks the water. if the water is running brown b/c of water main work, then we don’t drink the water but on a normal day we drink the water (after running it for 30 seconds to clear the line)
@zyzz,Abercrombie models wear shorts thus you would not know if they train the thigh muscles.
(sorry for the long post and plz don’t take anything personally)
it would bother me because it is not my priority in life to have a pretty guf. in order to have as you say “the most aesthetically pleasing shape possible by developing all muscles proportionally” it requires rigorous training and dedication. it becomes one’s focus and priority in life. between physically training, the preparation (diet, sleep etc) and eventual competition, much time is spent on looking perfect. there is nothing wrong with being in shape or playing a game of hoops everyday between sedarim or after work. I am looking for a husband who’s priority is to serve H’ and provide for his family as well (a working guy) bluntly, it bothers me because it seems like misplaced priorities to me. the guf is a vessel to serve H’. and just like a car needs maintenance to run properly, the body needs food, exercise, periodic ‘tune-ups’. a car can be a pimped out mustang with chrome wheels, megawatt speakers and V8 engine or it can be a basic Toyota Camry. both are cars but one is for function, the other is not. just because I don’t have a six pack or highly defined biceps, does not mean I can’t carry 40lbs easily or hold down a screaming 5 year old. it is not a prerequisite of being in shape to have defined muscles. if a person is in shape and healthy, B”H.
I do have to add that I do not like the look of Arnold at his prime or other professional body builders who serve their bodies rather than the other way around
Wolf, “My mother was discharged from the hospital today”
Refuah Shelaima to your mother. May she have a quick and speedy recovery.
@zyzz, do you mean bodybuilder like Arnold Schwarzenegger or an ambercrombie model? 2 very different builds. personally, I want s/o who can wear flat-front pants but is not shaped like a stick/pencil, ie someone well built. some girls don’t care about the fitness level; I do. I want s/o who can play a game of ball and works out. I respect my guf, I want a husband who does as well.
That being said, yes it would bother me to hear a guy wants to/will compete in a bodybuilding competition. if it was in the past and is no longer a focus/priority in his life it is another story.
there is the yeshiva K’tana system-Preschool, girls elementary, boys elementary and girls HS. Mesivta of passiac (i think thats the name), a yeshiva g’dola. mesivta of clifton. Yeshivat Bait Hillel. Cheder (Montessori type school; boys and girls classes)
and Brooklyn lacks SPACE. in Passaic we are not shoved on top of each other. we don’t have to fight for parking spaces except Thurs night and Friday.
the best part is that we are not Brooklyn but if we need to get there, we can get there. its the best of both worlds
Health, and do pray tell why I can’t drink the tap water. obviously, my family did not get the memo that we had water imported from brklyn
Iced, cuz we have trees, grass, backyards and we actually know our neighbors. I think prices of houses range from 400-500K upwards. also depends where you look. by the park its more expensive; Clifton/other side of main I believe is cheaper.
Passaic has a mix of types here and its a slower pace. I grew up here so for me its where I live; I don’t know the reason ppl move here specifically over other places
yes you can. Lincoln, Holland, GWB. Goethals and varrezano to brkln/farrack. you MAY not want to drive there but you CAN drive there.
mass transit is also a pain and can be expensive but less of a headache than driving to the city everyday. plenty of men and woman from passaic/clifton take the train to work
and the spanish are in downtown, not passiac proper, also known as passaic park
I live here and vochindik and mommamia are both correct. but it has been getting a larger brkln crowd recently imo
Shopping-sorry I was out then doing school work so I just saw your post.
thanks for the lyrics. Beth was there from at least year 5-I think she wrote that song in year 5. the version I remember is a little different but very similar. now the question is do you know the mosquito spoof?
and they were singing the shabbos song in year 6 and it was well known then too so its an older one
1 is be quiet, dont start a riot
2 is OD, how good can you be
3 is ruach singing and cheering
4 is kavana in your davening
5 is on time and thats the rhyme
be quiet, ____, ____, be on time and sing!
the mincha song is also nice, IMHO nicer than the shacharis song
BYgirl, the still sing ‘freed from the shadows?’ or are you referring the the night activity song and mincha song?
what?!?!?!? they stopped singing that song after night activity????? they should be ashamed! it was a Beth classic!
oh well. but I will def check back for the lyrics. Thanks!
shopping613, do you have the lyrics to this song? I only remember the end. (do they still sing this at the end of each night activity?
“so take each other by the hand and sing along with me
although we’re from all over, we are one family
created and united, each girl plays a part
Raninu I will cherish you-deep inside my heart”
and if you’re old enough, do you have the words to this song? it was the theme of the play one year and I only have the refrain from the end
“I’m finding my way, i’m finding myself
there is so much more to learn
I look at my face, and I see a girl
smiling in return
Each one of us has our very own path
a life that we must lead
I no longer need to fill bigger shoes, in order to fee complete
High:
freed from the shadows hear my call
i’m being the best that i can be
now others cannot make me feel small
I’m finally happy being me”
thanx!!
Odyssey. even w/ its quarks it was a good drive. I’m biased towards foreign made cars b/c that’s what my parents get so that’s what I drive too
If I had to choose, I’d choose the Odyssey engine but the caravan body. I’m not a fan of the new Odyssey. I prefer the looks of the previous model or even the one before that (pre2012 or pre2004)
as BB said, once you get the hang of making 6 braid challos, it is easy. I used to make 4’s and 6’s when we made bigger challos but now since we don’t eat as much challah, we make smaller ones and its harder to do 4’s and 6’s with smaller challos. so we make 3’s.
and the plus side to that is my 5 year old sister can help get ready for shabbos. we make the ropes, pinch them together and then she braids them. it keeps her busy and out of the way
I’m not sure about touro’s PA or other med programs but I do know that touro’s nursing program is co-ed. I also know when I applied over 2 years go, the nursing program was 7500 per semester, no matter the credits and the program was 5 semesters long. even my private nursing school didn’t cost that much. i’m sure now their price went up from what it was
touro is definitely not the cheapest way to go but they do have separate campuses or separate times IIRC in manhatten
2scents, yes I am aware of that. I was walking towards my house, the boys in the other direction. There was no walking behind me because we were walking in opposite direction. Thanx for the concern though
I live around the corner from a shul. one shabbos I was walking home with my almost 5 year old sister. we passed a few married men/couples/girls walking and they said good shabbos. As we passed the shul, a group of boys/young men were leaving the shul and just as we passed them, my sister said (innocently and loudly of course cuz she can) “how come they didn’t say good shabbos?” B”H these boys saved me from answering her and a few called GS over their shoulders
Most yeshiva boys I pass move over to the grass so they don’t have the CH”V walk on the same sidewalk as a girl. seriously? I don’t have cooties ya know. but the fathers I see walking w/ their children do say GS. I was a B’nos counselor for 4 years and saw ALOT of fathers w/ kids
I went to a Shadchan and s/he had a preprinted card. this is basically what the card had:
name
hebrew name
parents’ hebrew names
school(s)
learning or koveah itim
hat-yes or no
rekkel-yes or no
payos-yes or no
tzitzis in or out
beard-yes or no
height-how tall min.?
smoking-yes or no
sephardi-yes or no
chassidish-yes or no
divorced-yes or no
parents divorced-yes or no
BT-yes or no
i got SO annoyed at this shadchan for asking such SILLY questions! for 80% of the questions, I said “as long as he looks like a mensch” or “I never really thought about it because it is not really important (said this when he asked about height. as long as he is taller that me i’m happy)
I was not impressed w/ this system. so many of the questions seemed superficial to me and not really important. then again, if he is asking these questions, other people must be asking him/her those questions when s/he redts a shidduch.
I like skagens personally. My dad’s black Mavado is really nice but her prefers his grandfather’s rolex.
ghirardelli chocolate
turn on the water…
step on it
take off my shoe and squish it
capture it in a cup until I find the bug spray
seriously. its a bug.
If the dean of my school didn’t see it below him to tie the shoe lace of a kindergarten-er, why would it be below the dignity of a kindergarten teacher to retie a shoe lace?
(when I was in kindergarten, my shoe lace was untied and asked an adult to tie my shoe. I went home and told my mother ‘the man with the white beard {ie the dean} tied my shoe for me’. 10 years later he still remembered and mentioned it at my 8th grade grad)
I got pocket dialed from a number i dont know.
whats proper etiquette to this? do I call them back? i have no clue who it is.
I have a second SN. I use it when i want to be anon. a few ppl know this SN hence the anon second one

att health. passed acls
or to me?
I know men/boys with those names. Rafael isnt unusual but its still not common. And just because girls have more names doesnt mean that boys have less interesting names
what about Alexander? Alter? (i can go on. google is fun.) Saw the name Alon-apparently means ‘oak tree per Aish.com. saw that name for the first time about 3 months ago.
any unsual boys names that you can think of?
choppy, what about the name Tzaddok? or Raphael, Abba, Ezriel? those are uncommon boys’ names.
thou shall return and reply to thread started in a timely manner
went to school with a Frumie, know a girl named Noa, a neighbor named Michla, classmate had a sister Tirtza. All first names. Even know someone named Sigolit. also know a Minka. uncommon names but not unheard of
