yossi z.Member
Now I am debating whether I should get a subtitle myself (be it my own creation or ask the mods to think of something)
😀
yossi z.MemberThey could have the same wants but I feel the parents aren’t looking for a son-in-law, they are helping their daughter find a husband (if they were looking for a son-in-law then they would be looking to marry the boy-kinda a reverse situation to someone marrying a girl for her family)
Just my opinion
yossi z.MemberI have watched (and still do watch) most of the shows mentioned here, and I am surprised that the cosby show has only been mentioned once. It is most definitely up there with I love lucy and the honymooners (and no it doesn’t show our age at all (I haven’t even been on this earth for two decades just yet (I am getting there-quite close actually)
yossi z.MemberI am confused. Who said anything about wanting to marry the boy’s parents? And how, in any way does the question imply that at all?
To answer the OP, I don’t think there is any overall set standard, nor do I think anyone can make such a thing. Each person is different and some people are looking for an immature person (sometimes because they are immature themselves) and others are looking for a very mature, settled person. While on the other hand you have people who prefer learners to earners or you have people who prefer earners to learners then you also have those people who prefer a combination of both (and within that you have different ratios). Unless the girl and her parents (which guess what? There are different kinds of parents also) are on the same page the likelihood of them wanting the same type of boy are slim. Let me as a question though. As much as a person would like both the girl and her parents to be happy, sof sof is the boy marrying the girl or her parents?
yossi z.MemberI am not trying to push here and I am not exactly qualified to give advice but as a person who went through (and sometimes it still is hard and may feel like I still am going through) the “bumps” myself I did find that as uncomfortable as it may be you must talk with someone or else as maynish put it you are destroying yourself. Now if you can get someone anonymous (which I didn’t) good and fine but if you can’t, as hard as it may be, go speak to someone you know, a real friend/mentor/etc, the type of person that no matter what happens will always be there (I spoke with my father and my rebbe and I feel that not only do they not respect me, on the contrary they think more of me for coming to talk to them. This is not saying that I have no problems calling them up/talking to them in person but there are times due to the fact that I have already spoken to them, that the next time is easier)
May Hashem help in all that you need
yossi z.MemberFind something else to concentrate on? (I started to do it but only after healthy living came to a point of habit that I didn’t have to pay as much attention to it-and no I haven’t lost much anything except my inability to function (run, jog, bike, etc) properly)
yossi z.MemberHey funcused is my word! (I actually got it from my nephew (or maybe my brother I forget which) I guess this means it isn’t my word anymore oh well 😀 (I think I will start signing with this type of smiley :D)
yossi z.MemberYogibooboo: so then how is it a chore you hate? You don’t do it 😀 😛
yossi z.MemberYeah I noticed it too. This place has changed since the “old” days
yossi z.MemberNot exactly the best place to turn to for advice rather than just hashing things out but in my opinion if she feels that by having a rich zivug it would be a positive addition in the marriage then I don’t see any reason not to (simply put if it is for good reasons then why not?)
yossi z.MemberI don’t mind doing laundry, dishes, or putting away groceries (or vacuuming, sweeping, etc) but it seems like an odd occupation for a guy (similar to babysitting which for some reason is a “girls job”) (unless it is for someone I know then I don’t feel odd doing it-hey for all you here who don’t like these chores why don’t I come and do them for you? I’ll give you a special CR discount 😀 )
yossi z.MemberYou know you could change it but I do agree that the subtitle fits (in a good way)
yossi z.MemberThe goq: whaddya mean you didn’t have a choice in the matter?
January 24, 2011 8:37 pm at 8:37 pm in reply to: A Tree Grows In Brooklyn,A Watermelon in Flatbush… #731520yossi z.MemberOriginally from boston. Currently residing in midwood closer to boro park than flatbush (I live near dougie’s)
yossi z.MemberI don’t see the problem if you use a second name because it is understood that they are just representing what you are feeling at the time and you are being open and clear about what you are doing (just don’t pull a joseph and start talking to yourself (or as my father is fond of saying, there is no issue with talking to yourself just so long you don’t answer yourself)
yossi z.Memberas jaymatt pointed out, this isn’t an issue with lefties, it is a difficulty in helping the kid understand that he can’t do things exactly as his parents do it
yossi z.MemberJaymatt19: there are seforim that deal with this or you could learn halacha (kitzur shulchan aruch, mishnah berurah, etc) and work out for yourself which situations require the right hand regardless
Real-brisker: some times when halacha mentions using the right hand it only means the dominant hand not necessarily the actual right hand and it can be confusing (there are quite a few “switcharoos” in my family)
yossi z.MemberGimme a break I only wasn’t around due to lack of access 🙂
yossi z.MemberJack Daniels
On the rocks
I am seeing double
I just find this funny
yossi z.Member*phew* now I don’t have to worry about getting eaten lol
Though where is the editor? I remember him as being more active (and also a lot more mods hanging around too)
yossi z.MemberI was told that the proper way to do things is go through the parents and only go through the kids if the parents are being obstacles or if the kids are entirely independent (and even then people go through the parents) them again it depends on your circles
January 16, 2011 11:17 pm at 11:17 pm in reply to: Good Movie Idea Inspired by the coffeeroom #729907yossi z.MemberSqueak is still around?
January 16, 2011 11:12 pm at 11:12 pm in reply to: A Lady In The Grocery Said Leave It As A Mystery #729263yossi z.MemberEver notice that when someone does mention how many kids they say bli ayin hara? (Or knayna hara)
January 16, 2011 11:10 pm at 11:10 pm in reply to: A Lady In The Grocery Said Leave It As A Mystery #729262yossi z.MemberMy father is still 19 …
Oomis: I was pointing out how the parent never tells the kid their age I still have yet to see someone bedavka not telling the age of the kid. How many kids my father (and I try also) is particular
January 16, 2011 2:32 pm at 2:32 pm in reply to: A Lady In The Grocery Said Leave It As A Mystery #729256yossi z.MemberI think it is an american mishegas (ever notice how parents tend not to tell their kids how old they are?)
yossi z.MemberWelcome newcomer!!!! (Don’t worry you will get used to us and then become a part of this crazy room (no offense meant)(or coffee room if you must) I did)
yossi z.MemberOk, eclipse I will oblige, you get to eat all the posters 😀 (only if you like paper though …) Though I am not authorized to say it being that I can’t be a judge (unless I become a mod before the contest starts or during if I haven’t guessed yet then again I don’t really like paper) lol
yossi z.MemberWhat did ever happen to anonymiss, ames, asdf, and AOB? (Then again I guess the same question could have been asked about me over the past year) where is the thread for people missing from the cr? (Come back! or something like that)
yossi z.MemberNichoach niggunim (typically known as the chabad compilations) though if I am in a lebedig mood I prefer lively dance music (though the music style and the words have to fit (for example I don’t particularly go for zachreini na)
yossi z.MemberI usually think before I post so no I would have no problem if someone found out who I am
yossi z.MemberMy nephew is a choson (he is five days older than me), one of my old chavrusot had a baby boy, and a close chaver of mine just got engaged
yossi z.MemberWell I was long dead year old myself until now. Just digging up the old haunts. ETA? Once I get a few dollars scraped together (which may or may not happen in the near future) but we shall see as a job may be opening up
yossi z.MemberAnd I thought chayav was a bachur … I guess you can’t judge a person by their screen name …
yossi z.MemberI was waiting for the accusation but no I am not the joseph you are referring to (though it may be a form of my name, I dislike when people call me that)
Thanx kapusta for the warm welcome back 🙂
yossi z.MemberThe word kapusta means cabbage (ask her why she chose that SN or you can find the thread yourself which goes through the screen names)
January 14, 2011 4:56 am at 4:56 am in reply to: STOP YELLING!!And don't(smack)hit(smack)your sister!!(smack) #727977yossi z.MemberHot (and I mean as hot as you can take without burning yourself) shower, physical exertion to “good tired” tire you out and to relieve any stress (physical/emotional known/unknown), check mattress/pillow/bedding if it is comfortable, making sure that the linen on the bed is always fresh (never more than say at most a couple weeks old) can also help (I have personally have experience with this). This is the best I could come up with off the top of my head (as I head off to travel to the land of nod myself)
yossi z.MemberFor all you here looking for more jewish music my friend (who I mentioned before) is (working on) putting out a cd. I hopefully will not be long in following myself
yossi z.MemberI know that at least one reader knows me in person I can’t say about posters yet
I am a student and other part time (general contracting/carpentry) in NY (when I first started here I was in RI)
yossi z.MemberAs much as joseph may have done, in a way I feel bad for him(?)
yossi z.MemberWow this is a shock. And my writing style (to my chagrin) has changed in my absence (from not being here for so long apparently the way I write has been allowed to change or maybe I changed) though I don’t feel that my interests have.
ICOT-based on my statement I would like to put forth that if a person changes (which I hope joseph will for the better) they can legitimately come back without being recognized for who they were
yossi z.MemberYou might know me in real life but I wouldn’t know if it was you. I am vouching based on the days of GS 1 and 2
January 14, 2011 2:48 am at 2:48 am in reply to: STOP YELLING!!And don't(smack)hit(smack)your sister!!(smack) #727974yossi z.MemberWait I think I just figured out what was meant with the title. It is an over tired mother (along with one of the kids smacking their sister while the mother is telling them not to) am I right?
January 14, 2011 2:45 am at 2:45 am in reply to: STOP YELLING!!And don't(smack)hit(smack)your sister!!(smack) #727973yossi z.MemberHmm I say it definitely works both ways (male or female) I don’t have a wife yet but I will definitely keep this in mind. One thing though (as chayav pointed out) what does this have to do with the title of the thread? (And what happened to my usual lebedig self? I used to fly all around with non-serious comments (ok on occasion there were some serious ones-mods I know this isn’t the place for this just gimme a bit and I should be back into the swing of things please?)
yossi z.MemberYay! More familiar people! Mod 80 were you inducted during the time I was here last? (Approx. A year and a half ago)
yossi z.MemberOh and in keeping in line with the thread I can vouch that kapusta and wolfishmusings are two separate people (sorry gotta get back into the swing of things I have been gone a bit too long)
yossi z.MemberYay! Some of the “old” chevra! I am back! (This time for real) I was (and still am a bit) busy but now that I got some stuff organized I can now really re-join the coffee room!
yossi z.MemberWow I have obviously not been in the coffee room for a looong time (though I did poke my head in for a drop a while back but that doesn’t really count) I should get to know the new guys. Hi guys! (Or gals if you so happen to be one and depending if you don’t have a problem anonymously speaking with the opposite gender (reference to GS 1 or 2 I forget which)
yossi z.MemberBut that would ruin a good conversation with facts…..
yossi z.MemberWhy am I making a mistake? A person was put into this world to live in this world (obviously (using the physical) in service of Hashem) Hashem doesn’t want a person to be a hermit on a mountain top that defeats the purpose of having been put here in the first place
yossi z.MemberSomebody should call harav yisrael belsky
