always here

haha! I would almost think I’m that savta, except that I’m ‘Bobbe’ & mine are 6.5, 5, & 3 ka’h.

g’luck telling them… I don’t think u can just sneak away… & g’luck to Savta.. she’s probably younger than I am, but I’d do it.

I babysat my grandchildren for the past 6.5 yrs: my daughter’s a teacher & my s-i-l’s in kollel.

I’d do it, of course, but it wouldn’t be so easy. it would be a little easier cuz the boys’ yeshiva is just across the street from my house.

at those ages they don’t have much concept of time, so if you tell them you’re going away for a few days, they’ll probably just ask if you’ll be home soon.

RAZAG is very nice. do they hold by the Crown Hts. rule of the chosson not being able to sit with the kallah?

there are different halls for different types; min/max # of guests; budget…

Ateres Chynka, Manhattan Beach Jewish Center, Eden Palace, El Caribe, Tiferes Mordechai, etc..

can you tell some of your wishlists?

haha, popa! that was fast, lol!! as I said: “it’s decided Rosh Hashana, sealed on Hoshana Rabbah.” no tricks, just one ticket per prize that I would want. I’ve been one ticket of 3 & lost.. 1 tkt in NCSY (thousands?) & won. B’H! 🙂

*hold me back!*

I definitely agree w/ uniforms.. both my daughters had, but certainly not as wide a choice as bygirl93.

wanderchana– there’s nothing so wrong w/ her spelling & grammar… that’s textspeak (along w/ a few sp. errors).

D. – my spouse, husband

we’re using a Jewish company. they made an error & Verizon shut off our phone & the next day, our internet. the phone was turned back on the next day; the internet took TWO FULL WEEKS to be restored!!! my husband said Verizon was giving us a hard time because we weren’t dealing directly with them. he said they used to do that with IDT in the past, too (he was associated with IDT).

haha ItcheSrulik– making garlic bread, bread crumbs, meatballs, etc?!

deiyezooger– thank you!

we don’t want recipes, thank-you. we want to know if we have to wait until challah’s moldy before we can throw it out.. or if there’s a respectable, acceptable way to throw it out without letting it sit around ’til it gets moldy, when we ARE permitted to throw it out!

Berkowitz is still around.

Simchas Chynka… E 17th off of Ave. J.

B’H, I made 2 chasanas in 5770! 😀

I’m still waiting for a (halachic) answer with you….

Sender Av– are you referring to ‘rhetorical question’?? I was surprised that that new thread went up, so quickly after yours, & so similar. IMHO

to non-Jews I say ‘Thank G-D’; to Jews I say literally “B’H”, in which case I often get a look & havta explain myself that it’s (the abbreviation for) ‘Baruch Hashem’

my daughter was there late this afternoon (Shoprite, McD.&I) & asked the same question because it was soo busy: impending snowstorm &/or ‘can-can’ sale? also- my neighbor said her trip there took soo much longer. I think people were stocking up after the last snow fiasco.

Baruch Dayan Emes. So sorry for your loss… May his memory be a blessing. May you & your family be comforted amongst the mourners of Zion & Yerushalayim, and may you know only simchas in the future.

yes, oomis1105– it was very insulting when the shadchan said that the Lkwd boy suggested for my daughter would probably stop for the right girl!!

b/c I’m pretty much always here. I’ve been getting all my news here for a veryy long time. then for maybe a year plus was reading all the CR posts of interest, until I finally wanted to comment on one. I’m online all day & night…

IMO- at the very least, he should have picked her up @ her house, & then walked together to the train.

taking the leftover water bottle: cheap

AinOhdMilvado– I personally know a couple, both smokers, who married off their 4 children & have 4 grandchildren, ka’h. And if you’re gonna ask: ‘don’t they want to be @ the grandchildren’s weddings?”, the answer is: yes, iy’H!

The wife stopped smoking for 14 yrs. but then started again; the husband has never tried to stop. They DO stop for 25 hrs. every Shabbos.

When my daughter was in shidduchim a Lakewood boy was suggested to her. Since a smoker was a deal breaker, I inquired, & was told: “for the right girl I’m sure he’ll stop”. My daughter refused the date.

thanks for the laughs I got reading this thread 😉

agent- I also see no problem if one forgot an item & have done the same as you.

If I have a full wagon, I usually will let someone with just one or 2 items go ahead of me.

But I never can stay silent about someone saving a place in line– just standing there– while their mother (usually, but whoever) goes to do a full shopping. As someone said previously– you shop & when you’re finished, then you get on line. Derech eretz.

I am very against this! it’s not fair, plain & simple.. saving a place in line is so not right!! grrr
