yummy cupcake

i wrote this on the good news thread, but mazal tov adorable!!!!!!!!!! and i still wanna know how everyone found out, cuz i don’t see mention of it anywhere!

i think it’s funny when ppl say “oh my gosh, i didn’t recognize you- you look so good/amazing/stunning!!!!!”

like, thanks. did i used to look THAT bad??????

wow wow wow!!!!!!!!

last i checked, monsey was IN new york. unless there is a different monsey you are traveling to, or you are in a different new york, that does not have a monsey. so now, what’s your question?

my friend is a certified life coach. she is so amazing, and she works mostly with teens (girls) who are having trouble with yidishkeit/family/friends/school… you get the picture. you really have to Daven tho, that you say the right thing the right way at the right time, cuz no matter how hard you worked to become certified, these kids don’t always want to hear what you have to say, and you could c”v make them feel worse. but it’s all b’yad H-Shem.

i know everyone has told you this already but: wow wow wow! you really sound like an amazing person. you really make one realize that you have no right to judge people based on their situation, because you never know the whole situation, and you don’t know how much the person grew from his/her situation. may H-Shem give you the strength to keep going and to become the best person you could be, bringing more kedusha and bracha into this world.

2cute, how’d it go? if u answer this, we know you survived B”H!!! but really, was it as horrifying as you thought????????

speak to him and tell him how you feel when he is constantly playing around with his phone. if that doesn’t work, maybe you can somehow at least start weaning him off of it. start off small. try to get him to go without it for 15 minutes, eventually a half hour, 45 min., an hour….see if that works. might sound childish, but hey, if it works it was worth it!

1) don’t type in all caps (that seems to be a biggy here!)

2) remember, we are all different, coming from different places, different backgrounds, have totally different life situations, but we all come from the same Source. Treat everyone with respect. Your tone of voice can be heard through your posts, and even though we don’t know each other, words can be hurtful. We all have tzelem Elokim, and deserve to be treated with respect, and in a dignified manner. I’ll try to work on that. Hope you will too. (even trolls deserve a little respect 🙂 )

yeshivabochur, i hear what you are saying, but first of all, you can’t just have one income, the husband’s, and then say, now the wife doesn’t have to worry about a thing. one income is just not enough these days (sometimes, even two isn’t enough!) now, yes, there are exceptions to this rule, like the very wealthy ppl,or the young couples being supported by their parents (which is a whole different discussion) but you know, i don’t think young couples (not being supported by parents) are part of this exception. i can hear that one income is enough until you have kids.(that is ultimately what I want) but once the kids come, and hopefully, there will be at least a few, you really need the money, and these days, you need both the income of the husband, and that of the wife.

also, what you said about bochurim who are not cut out to be the next roshei yeshiva- i don’t agree. yes, if the bochur is mamash just sitting there and warming benches, and he really doesn’t want to be there, but he is doing it because that’s the thing to do, and it’s the “only way to get a good shidduch”, then he should go to work. but if someone is sincerely sitting and learning, and it means the world to him to be engaged in learning the precious words of the Torah, just because you don’t think he will become the next rosh yeshiva (and how are you supposed to be able to judge that anyway?)why would you rip him away from it? he is not wasting his time! and how do you know he won’t be the next rosh yeshiva? it doesn’t happen overnight! all big roshei yeshiva had to start somewhere. if they would have gone by your advice, we would be minus many of the great gedolim and roshei yeshiva we have today!

now, i think it would work, and make all sides happy, if: boy wants to learn. girl wants husband to learn, at least until they have kids. girl works. boy learns. they have a kid. boy works and definitely sets aside as much time as possible to learn, and keeps aside time, to assist wife in housekeeping and helping take care of kid. girl works (and it is possible to get a job that you can do from home, or you can find a job that only requires you to work half day- and don’t say that it’s not realistic, because i know so many wives who are doing either of these two options) once the kids get older and are all in school, if wife is working out of the house, she can lengthen her working hours, if desired, or if needed. there! now everyone is happy!

my absolute faves on the cd are the first three songs (sheves achim, mayim karim, and the artist) and the sixth (sameach)!

observanteen, why did you write the title the way you did? do you know the song?

welcome welcome!!! hope you have an awesome time here! why don’t you tell us a little bit about urself? not too much of course. but what age range are you in 10-20, 21-30, 31-40,….. (i assume ur a female)

so lemme introduce myself- i’m called yummy. i’m in the upper end of the 10-20 range, i live in the midwest (my second homes are the cr and only simchas). oh yeah, i’m a girl. or young lady. whichever way you have it.

looking forward to getting to know you!!!!!!

and the confidentiality of this site goes right down the drain… i personally don’t think that would work, and like coffee addict said- definitely pritzus (esp the pics of women/girls) definitely not right for a yeshiva world.

what did shakespear’s bull say when looking for her boyfriend?

wherefore art thou, rodeo

dear so and so,

goq, ayc and minyan gal, i was thinkin’ of saying the same thing, but checked, cuz i assumed someone would’ve put it on here already!

my name indicates that i had a different name first, but it was too similar to someone else’s so i changed it to the next closest thing, but not too similar.

kshmo, i never heard that one before! that’s crazy! truthfully, these are all crazy! i always tell people, its not a shidduch crisis- its a priorities crisis!!!!!!!!!

i would eat it every meal if i could! i am a major fleishigs person!

men or women? from a woman’s point of view, i can tell you i usually get together with friends and/or go to a shiur, or stay home and spend quality time with my family

os- only simchas! (that’s my second home)

yossi z- i dunno why, but ur not the only one who said that to me! (i guess if anyone here comes to the midwest, just stay off the roads!!!!!)

i got my license!!!!!!!!!!
