    well FYI i am not a teenager. also i have no patience to talk to people on the phone half the time and these days who has time to send whole long emails. therefore i facebook people and get to keep up with many. if you have such a problem with facebook maybe get rid of yours or dont get it. half the people im friends with on FB i wouldnt talk to on a daily basis. some live in israel, australia even south africa. im happy to talk to them on FB. you wanna know what I do on FB? ill tell u. i upload pictures(i was able to show pictures of my wedding to cousins who couldnt be there and friends who werent invited), i see others pictures, i play games and i can randomly message someone to say hi. Maybe since you were told you cant be on FB for some reason you became against it? is that possible? maybe you got into trouble? who knows. yes there have been times that things were saifd on FB and people got themselves into trouble but you know what you can take the positive out of it and use it.

    umm- you are NOT alone! i do it day and night. My husband cant stand that I do it. but i cant help it. as a matter of fact as i read your post I started picking. It is such a bad habit. Shabbos is worse. I try to not make myself bleed but if my husband catches me he warns me shabbos shabbos. and i say “wait ok yeah i know but one more pull.” i’ve been doing it for years. at night i put on this aquaphor type stuff from CVS to just calm it down and moisten it but next morning im back to picking. i also chew the inside of my mouth(lips) im just “addicted.” im totally together with you on this one!

    TBL- thats exactly why FB isnt as bad! You SEE who you are talking to! you KNOW who you are talking to! Here you can be talking to men to women and women to men. I love Facebook and all the it enatils. I’ve been able to keep up with people and see them go from seminary to marriage to having kids and watching their kids grow! That’s the good of Facebook. So here I will agree with Mike and say look into it before you bash it!

    first of all dont leave your shoes in the middle of the room that just isnt smart. second if they give you a round about time then you should be prepared.

    i had people where i would fall asleep on their couch or with the kids when i was putting them to sleep and the parents would come hom and he would say “you just woke up didnt you” and then hed say “yeah we fall asleep all the time putting them to bed.” one time i woke up just as i heard the door open.luckily im very close with these people!

    another couple i babysat for they called me to tell me they would be home at eleven. they showed up an hour later(it was only like 930) and he told me he does that so he can have more time should he need it.(that was weird)

    CR can be just as bad as Facebook. Here’s why. Men and women are chatting to each other all the time here and on Facebook you can pick and choose who you want to be friends with. So if you have such a problem with FB then maybe you dont belong in here either. I’m sure if you asked your Rav what to do he’d tell you to get rid of the internet all together.

    The lashon harah and the rechilus and the people bashing that goes on here is way worse than what goes on on FB. On FB you can control and have privacy controls on what you say/do etc. but here it can get so intense that people dont hold back! So before you go bashing FB(and all the good that it does) think about what you are doing here!

    common sense-the kids im talking about all go to local schools adn they are def texting left and right. the principals here are NOT happy that their students have cell phones.

    i look at the kids in my community and I am trying to fathom why they have cell phones! some kids got them at age 10 and others at 12 or 13. I mean come on what is this world coming to that they all have to have cell phones. I went to pick up a kid in a school, in junior high and they had bins for the 6th 7th and 8th grades to drop their phones off in the bins. 6th grade! what is this? why do they need a cell phone??? if your child is mature and old enough to handle the responsibilities it comes with than gzunte heit(however you spell) but if not then dont even think about it. kids today are so spoiled and they need to be up to par with everyone else and it’s just not normal. Sorry I had to get that off my chest!

    eclipse you dont have to melt it. you can get all your personal stuff removed from your hard drive and save it to another computer etc. theres a place in BP that can do it. its located on 18th and 60th i think. there’s a guy dovid there that can help. otherwise my husband does these things…

    all in all…I’ve been waiting all my life to have guests and now I’m glad I get to host! it’s so much fun, especialy since now I get to have all the people that used to have me!

    Also when your host says not to bring anything then dont. Sometimes they really dont want it. When they say just yourselves bring just yourselves!

    my husband has a friend who would come over and when i would serve the main food he would literally take 3 pulkas(or more) onto his plate. that was the first round of the main meal. I was like OMG!!! now i only put out half of what i have and hide the rest because i want to make sure that we end up having dome leftovers for the nest day and the week. then hed ask me to make sweet potato pie. YUM! but what would happen he’d eat like half and leave the rest for the rest of the table. i really dont like having him.

    Another time we had another one of my husband’s friends. what did he do? he got bored so he brought his book to the table and started reading. he didnt like the conversation that was being held.

    Another time I had my friend with her husband and she had said he liked heimish food. OK fine. So i made fish and chicken etc. i bring out the food and he says…”whats in this? is there sugar? i cant have sugar. how did you make this?” all I was thinking was that I’m not having them again. It was so rude.

    another time I had a vegetarian. Not doing that again!

    Can I ask something? What happened to the days when there were events at shuls or having mixed seating for singles at weddings? I know there will be people who may or may not agree with me but why can’t people meet in other ways aside for shadchanim? If there is such a crisis why not chnage things around a little?

    since i was a guest by many people i knew the do’s and dont’s.

    DO help with kids

    DONT do things that will upset the host or hostess

    DO strip the beds after sleeping over unless they tell you not to which one family told me not to bec she didnt like the bed with no sheet.

    DONT just sit there!

    DONT fill up your plate with all the food and not leave for others(that goes for men)

    DONT drink all the alcohol(bachurim)

    Now that I am a hostess I finally see what was going on behind the scenes and B”H I did all the good that I did. My husband’s friends that come over, some of them are polite and help others just sit there and dont do a thing. One guy was supposed to bring 2 friends with him but bec he was gettting drunk the night before he never showed. I told him he’s not allowed back for a long time since I prepared for him and the other 2 and what he did wasnt right. There are some people that come that I have to tell them to watch their mouths. some people are just so inappropriate i just dont get it.
