yummy cupcake

i’ve been kind of following this thread on and off…since i’m in the parsha, figured i can add in my two cents… first of all, i’m one of those girls who wants a “normal” boy- whatever that means. And ya know what- this might blow you all away, I’m one of the (few) girls that wants a G-d fearing, upstanding, respectable, kind, WORKING guy. I just want to let you know that when i tell this to shadchanim, i get set up with boys much more modern than myself. I am a totally 100% frum BY type girl- and that doesn’t mean button down shirt, dark colored sweater, pleated skirt BY- I mean fun, colorful, (a little) open minded- but I’m in no way modern. Not that i like labels, but i’m using them so u understand what i’m saying. so basically, the working boys i’ve gone out with have either been a) totally rude and obnoxious and think (know) they are G-d’s gift to the world, and they let me know it, or b) just totally socially awkward, not knowing that u can’t come to a date in a crumpled suit, big lazy bums… so yes, out of all the boys i went out with, i’ve said no to like 11 of them! cuz you know what, i’m not even giving a second/third chance to ppl who are rude, obnoxious, or don’t care to present themselves nicely. So yes, you may call me picky, b/c i’m the one mostly saying no- but gosh- don’t i have the right? you don’t know my story, and you don’t know lots of girls stories!and yes, by the way, just like boys are attracted to certain looks, so are us girls, you can’t just marry someone whose looks you can’t stand! (disclaimer, there are for sure girls who are sooo picky and they don’t want anyone with red hair/beard/big nose/glasses- you know, narishkeit like that, i’m not saying there are no girls out there that are picky like that, i’m just saying, i don’t think most of them are) So I dunno where all the boys are that you are talking about are- the respectful, respectable, kind, gentlemen, who love Torah but perhaps happen to be working. where are they?? Another problem that i face by the way is the problem of support. my parents can’t commit to a certain amt! right now they are trying to support themselves, like many other ppl! i’m sure my parents aren’t the only ones! but if they can’t support, i’m not worth it??? THAT BOTHERS ME TO NO END. I THINK IT’S DISGUSTING. I HAVE A JOB, I’LL WORK, MY HUSBAND WILL WORK. IF YOU TRUST YOUR SON TO GET MARRIED, WHY CAN’T YOU TRUST THAT WE WILL FIGURE OUT OUR FINANCES WITHOUT MUCH FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM MY PARENTS? SO WHAT IF WE MAKE A FEW MISTAKES- THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN IS WE WILL LEARN FROM THEM, AND WE WILL LEARN TO COMMUNICATE BETTER THAN MANY COUPLES WHO ARE SPOONFED FROM DAY ONE AND HAVE NO FINANCES TO DISCUSS CUZ ITS ALL BEING TAKEN CARE OF FOR THEM.

i might have gone slightly off topic, but just had to get it out, and it seemed like a pretty ok thread to add it to.

woohoo!!!!!!!!!! it worked!!!!!! i’m back!!!!!!!!!! i tot feel like this is an old timers reunion!!!! hi everyone!!!!!! now for my personal mazal tov to yossi z- MAZAL TOV!!! so excited for you!!!! may you and kallah b zoche to a long happy fulfilling life together!

~{*]*]*] (that’s supposed to b a three tiered wedding cake, complete with flowers. just pretend it is, ok??? 🙂 )

no, toi. i don’t like that joke, and i don’t think its funny. what would happen if someone reading this has a relative or someone close, who is a vegetable? would they think its funny? not so nice to make jokes of things like this. sorry.

This totally depends on every person individually. Different people have different ways of expressing their emotions. Just because a chosson isn’t crying, it doesn’t mean he’s not feeling emotional. That’s how he expresses his emotions. A chosson who is crying expresses his emotions that way. It doesn’t mean he isn’t happy.

I’ve seen both crying and smiling by chassanim and kallos.

aaawwwwwwwwwwwww, thanks gefen 😉 ur makin’ me *** blush ***

i’ve been wondering the same… those guys give (the good kind of) life to this place!

HI EVERYBODY! SEE I’M STILL HERE!!!!!!!

shlishi- excuse you!

oops i did it again… GEFEN WHY’D YOU SIGN ME OFF OF YESHIVA WORLD?????????????? 😀 😀 😀 😀 (GUYS, THAT GEFEN POST IS REALLY FROM ME!)

zeeskite, ur the best! i forgive you if you did anything that requires being forgiven, i just hope that you forgive me too, if there was anything i have done as well…

and to all posters,i know i specifically started up with popa and dorafelder (?) recently, i hope you forgive me. Sometimes what i said wasn’t nice, and I will IY”H work really hard on being as nice and as peaceful as i could.

Wishing all a meaningful beautiful ruchniyusdik year, and may those looking for their bashert find him/her very soon (i think there are a few of us on the cr 🙂 ) and may anyone who needs a yeshua be granted it, and may we all be zoche to much simcha and bracha lasting forever, ad bias hamoshiach, b’mheira v’yameinu!

he says “as a bochur in yeshiva…” could mean he’s in 10th grade!

but thanks anyway, gefen 🙂

btw, sidi, its also really special how you go back and specifically reply to each person who writes to you. wow wow wow! she IS gonna be lucky 🙂

well, originally i had a different name, but someone in the cr didn’t like for a certain reason, so in order to keep peace, i changed it to something similar.

:):):) shending shome shmileshhhhh in ur direcsssssshhhhhhhhhon 🙂 🙂 🙂

yekke2, are you a fleishigs person in general, or you just can’t wait specifically this yr cuz its not something usual that happens that you can have fleishigs b4 the fast?

you raise me up, sung by shwekey. neshama (don’t know who sings it, the conversation b/t malach and neshama).

malachim, by chaim yisrael.

cry no more, shwekey.

mama rochel, journeys.

oh and window in heaven, by shea rubinstein, is really good. kinda on the sad side tho, but in the end it all comes together.

you’re watching me, michoel pruzansky.

i can still do what i did a yr ago 🙂 oh, and at the same time, i can make myself breakfast/lunch/dinner.

postsem, you are quite the crack up!

dora- i don’t think its true at all that girls wanna marry someone like their father. it totally depends on who the girl has become by the time she is ready to look for a husband. by the time a girl is 20, lets say, she has gone through so much change and growth (hopefully), and school and her peers have helped her further develop and realize what she truly wants in life. not necessarily will that be exactly what her father is. (and no, i’m not saying that either way is the way it is for most girls. i just don’t think you could make a general statement.)

oh good postsem, you had to mention that so on tisha b’av we’ll all be rolling…
