    mustangrider; I would adjust your statement to

    “if there is enouph going on to make “US” suspicious.

    That is what Raglayim L’davar means. It is not up to any one person

    to decide on their own that they saw a little scratch on a child

    to scream “Help!” It means that if most normal people would conclude

    suspicious behavior being evident, the likelihood being realistic backed circumstances.

    When life gives you lemons, be sure to send a hand written thank you note for the lemons, as email thank you notes can appear to be less sincere.

    When life gives you lemons, make orange juice, then wonder how you did it.

    When life hands you lemons make lemonade and find someone else who life handed vodka to, and have a party

    When life gives you lemons alter their DNA and make super lemons!!!

    When life gives you lemons just shut up and eat your darn lemons

    When life gives you lemons sell them on ebay,

    When life gives you lemons, squirt the juice in his eye

    Wow! tab; I’m genuinely impressed!

    but the what did they start out as…doesn’t have anything to do with it! I mean what is it now? Is it nice and looks like a dress

    fine, is it shlumpy or “Robey” (new word) that is not kavod shabbos

    to go outside like that.

    I personally, view it as a glorified nightgown.

    Take crocs for instance. Crocs started out as ugly, holey,

    troll-like foot mushrooms, though they are soo comfortable,

    but now there are really stylish ones that look like regular shoes.

    Note: there are still many haggy (new word) ones that I see many

    ppl wearing on shabbos. They must think it looks nice (it so doesn’t)

    If she likes him he can work with it.

    If not what he supposed to do? It is not his job to act even more nice cuz thats creepy and pathetic.

    If he never did anything to her to cause this, she has issues,

    and groveling in front of her, he is an adult, is just plain wrong. Is he supposed to reward ridiculous behavior with more

    kissing up? That is plain wrong in Chinuch or life.

    The best thing either way is just to avoid antagonizing her after her odd decision to avoid him. If that what she wants then bye.

    It is not his daughter, he is not obligated to have a relationship with every one of his family members especially female.

    He obviously made attempts to be nice and talk to her being civil despite her attempts at dehumanizing him.

    If he didn’t do anything to warrant it, then just avoid her.

    If She comes around fine, if not, well, win some, lose some.

    If she’s normal she should grow out of it.

    I know chasing after her, if he’s not interested in her as a perspective marriage option, is wrong.

    Yes I believe in Ohev Shalom V’rodef Shalom, But according to

    him he didn’t do anything wrong, and she’s quite aware of his attempts at appeasing her. So I say enough chasing!

    Let the chasee (not a word) become the chaser.

    Go look at the popular trend of the last 8 years.

    Build a proper wooden structure with a slope. attach one end of a (tarp) Shlack to top of structure. At the end and bottom of structure affix a PVC pipe to tarp. Roll the tarp up with the

    PVC in the center much like a roll of Bounty and the cardboard center. Tie up on top with heavy duty clothes pin or

    heavy Duty Clips. when it start raining remone pins and let it roll down the slope covering your succah.

    If you have a hard time understanding this, just take a stroll in your neighborhood. If you have a least a handful of chasidim in your svivah you should find a least a few of these contraptions.

    Hatzlacha!

    The Goq;

    I suggest a different approach. Though i doubt you’d try it. Especially since it may seem counterproductive and against your nature (which you portray in writing)

    It may very well be that she likes you, maybe even more,

    but the age difference is just too unacceptable to her.

    Feelings of the heart are extremely complex, especially to a young

    girl growing up, with an older male relative who shes seldom sees.

    Don’t bank on a future, or even that she might like you.

    Nevertheless, I suggest this time, you try avoiding her.

    Instead of trying so hard to be civil to her and have conversation. This time, show her that you have accepted the fact that she can’t stand you, and that you’re fine with it.

    Totally avoid her! Don’t exchange pleasantries, no Gut Yum Tov directed at her, just totally ignore her.

    But the important thing is, don’t act mad at her or make it obvious that your avoiding her.

    Just be happy and animated with everyone as if she isn’t even there. No glares, just smiles and show her that you accept as a mature adult that she doesn’t want a/t do you w/ you,(in body language and behavior that is) and act as if your fine with it.

    I can almost guarantee results. At first she will be ultra fuming

    at you when she notices it, i would make sure to leave the table

    before the HOT soup is served.

    But then it should slowly get her frustrated and try to get your attention. She might even try making fun of you.

    here’s the thing… since she makes such an effort to show her feelings,(instead of just regular ignoring or avoiding, that means she wants you to feel her wrath and there is anger directed at you for something.

    Maybe anger at herself for feeling sorry for you, or inner feelings, whatever it is, if you do this and wait out the storm,

    you’ll get to the real reason why she is avoiding you.

    If she takes it cool and in stride for a few days, then

    she really doesn’t like you, (for whatever reason)

    [unless she has an extreme tough personality]

    [then she might even find it amusing and it will take much more

    more time to for this to be effective.]

    [But don’t worry, I highly doubt that’s the case.

    it takes a real character to be amused by getting silent treatment in return]

    However if she gets even more mad, you’ll know she likes you.

    sometimes like a 6yo boy who pushes the girl he likes in the sandbox, cause he doesn’t know how to communicate,

    a teen can have the same proactive logic, especially since

    proper communication under the circumstances is almost impossible

    and may feel wrong to her or embarrassing.

    I wish you Hatzlacha, either way, though im 99% sure you won’t try this.

    I have experience in these areas….. (silent treatment etc..)

    Don’t ask!

    Since recent developments in the past decade or two, (or more)

    where the market is huge and they trailers full of crates full of chickens sitting cramped on top of each other for days defecating

    over each other and so forth,

    there is a major worry of being Oiver Tzar Balei Chaim,

    and one could be doing a Mitzvah (minhag yisroel torah)

    Habo’oh B’aveirah It might be a question of it even being a

    Kapporah for the person, although that touches the sugya

    of Ani …Soneh Gezel B’oilah.

    I therefore suggest everyone should try not to wait till

    the last minute and do it early in a clean popular place that gets new truckloads daily, has a kosher Shochet on premises,

    that doesn’t work double shifts, or overnight till next day hashkama! Try to avoid places that have few customers and keep the chickens there for days in boxes.

    People do this solely to have a Kapparah, I don’t think they want a fresh Aveirah after kapparos due to Kapparos.

    If you feel it really is tzar ballei chaim I strongly suggest

    you do it with money (then give to tzeddaka)two mitzvos,

    or with a fish.

    1)I think you should keep it! When they make a mistake all the time ripping off and stealing from millions of customers including tons of jews, making billions that is for sure that they don’t give it back.

    2)They even give you a hard time when you point it out and ask for a refund. Many time refusing.

    3)Also many times it’s no mistake, they blatantly steal from all their customers with hidden fees and charges (nickles and dimes and dollars that add up to serious millions)

    So I think it’s a drop in the bucket, and the least you can do to offset these Companies HaGazlonim, is to keep it.

    I’m not talking about personal stores or banks that you enter, which you must immediately return making a K”H, but specifically cell phone companies that are ALL known crooks.

    Also you have to consider that they will realize on their own and retract their credit.

    If you tell em you’re jewish, and return it it might make a K”H

    though, even for a second, that is, if the Pakistani operator even knows what Jewish means.

    600K; This a complex question, I believe Harav Chaim Kanievsky discusses a similar dilemma.

    I have heard that many shuls who have these type of kiruv gathering with the knowing of the possibility of some people driving there but not immediately addressing it, have a huge success rate within one year of most of their crowd becoming proud Shomerei Shabbos.

    You have to understand that for a person who is living a

    certain lifestyle and is

    a) unaware of the issurim

    b) clueless of the reason behind it

    c) unaware of the joy and warmth of being religious

    d) very hard to drop a certain practice they’re used to and have been doing for ages, in one shot

    So I’m not paskening, but telling these clueless people

    you “can’t come join us” and feel the warmth, or find out the truth unless you stop doing something you are very used to, don’t even know it’s wrong, or why it’s wrong on the promise of first

    give it up everything, then well explain it…

    I can see how it could be a struggle and not easy to reach them

    this way. Though one has to always ask a Sheilah with a every case specifically as it tends to make a difference when it can be allowed and when it cannot.

    Adore; ur very welcome!

    taking a break; they do not apply to men the same way.

    Men do not have the issur women have, and women tend not to

    be swayed by just a scent [unless its chocolate] 😉

    (despite what axe wants you to think)

    (Sorry guys!)

    Although Hilchos Derech Eretz, as well as Hatzneh Leches,

    as well as common socially aware people, Men should NOT douse

    themselves in cologne as if they immersed themselves in a Mikva

    of “Eau de She’uvim” (as it is not a kosher mikvah)

    or practice 😉

    Aside from being socially awkward, it is not a humble practice to have everyone in your Daled Amos aware of the fact that you are clueless in the practice of wearing cologne, or worse, arrogant

    enough to decide what people in your presence are forced to breath or smell. Please guys, keep it toned down.

    I’m not including people who work in certain “ripe” environments.

    Tab, about shower gel, body spray, etc.. I can’t make a blanket statement cover all other scented toiletries, for I don’t have every bodyspray/wash before me to tell how potent some stuff are.

    but I will tell you the little i know, no general scented toiletry for use on ones body, is potent as perfume, and the greatest concern should lie there.

    Body washes shampoos, gels, don’t come close to that. The only thing is that body sprays, especially the newer ones coming out in the last decade can also be kind of potent depending on the amount applied, though still not in the same category as perfume, only oils can be more potent.

    Especially deodorants that are scented with a cologne or perfumed scent such as hugo boss etc..

    I cant say no, and i can’t say yes, it depends on all that was discussed in my previous post. If you spray a “LITTLE”, on areas covered by clothes, no problem! If not and it carries then same problem as perfume.

    The same way a chef should have a light hand when it come to strong spices, a person should have a light hand when wearing perfume.

    The proper way a lady should wear perfume is to spray it into the air and walk through the mist. (eyes closed of course)

    I Don’t want to get sued!

    As far as shampoo, gels, body wash, etc.. they tend to be very faint and evaporate, also the scent stays close to body.

    So no problem.

    Nothing wrong w/ u. everybody has their own pace. Just focus on other important things like getting yourself ready for it, for when you will be ready. Those who worry too much, just end up waiting longer. Just focus on character refinement, work, keeping up with friends. Helping others is a good preparation for when you will be married.

    I would also suggest you focus on who you are. (for real)

    Being honest with oneself is crucial.

    Think about what makes you thrive, what type of home you’d like to have, and in turn what type of guy you need and want, to acheive your goals.

    This is advice for you and any other girls your age who are

    in the parsha or about to enter the parsha, of shidduchim that is, not parshas Vayetzei, but parshas Toldos.

    People are too busy with the “dating scene” as if it’s

    some sort of black friday shopping rush, or dash,

    focusing on getting a major Metziya, but in the end when they

    take it home it has to fit “them.”

    There is a very bad return policy, so unless you were aware of this policy before you ran out shopping and did some soul searching to understand what it is you need, and what would fit you,(not your parents or friends) and what would look good on you, and bring out the color in your eyes and heart,

    you can really get yourself messed up investing a lot of money, time, and emotion into something that was doomed from the very beginning.

    I hope this message resonates with my fellow sisters and brothers

    in klal yisroel.

    So everyone should be wise as to what they need and hence what they should look for, instead of what they want even if it doesn’t fit.

    gezuntheit;

    “Complex carbohydrates” are foods with large amounts of complex carbohydrates include legumes, starchy vegetables like potatoes and corn, rice and grain products. Other vegetables such as green beans, broccoli and spinach contain less starch, but they have more fiber.

    Complex carbohydrates should supply about half the calories in your diet; however, the best complex carbohydrates come from legumes, vegetables, breads, pasta and cereals.

    Choose 100% whole wheat or 100% whole grain brad cereal and pasta products over refined flour products because they contain more fiber. “The extra fiber slows down the absorption of the carbohydrates so you feel full longer” and be less likely to over-eat throughout the day.

    P.S. towards the end when you’re getting weak, you should lie down to rest. You don’t have to be in shul the whole day, if your a woman. After you have davened for mercy and regretted past deeds,

    and done teshuvah, the ikar is to be M’uneh.

    that is done by fasting, So you can go home in afternoon to rest.

    I wish all of klal Yisroel a meaningful, healthy fast.

    adorable;

    a Jewish woman is 100% allowed to wear perfume for herself,

    her own enjoyment that is, just as long as…

    1) Her real intention of wearing it is NOT to attract men in any form, or even have herself be noticed by men through wearing it.

    (unless it is her husband, under permissible terms.)

    2) Despite her noble intentions, she has to apply it in a way that

    the scent doesn’t travel out of her immediate personal zone.

    (as close as you’d let only close family like a husband.)

    I’d say IMHO around two feet. not more.

    3) When you are going to be primarily around men, like in an office with mostly men working there, it is honest to assume that wearing it, is not entirely for noble reasons and good shampoo soap and deodorant, or body spray should suffice. Not perfume!

    At best, apply “very little” only to areas that will be covered

    under clothing, like one’s torso. it doesn’t travel if you put a little, and it can only be noticed if someone is standing literally on top of you.

    4) As i stated earlier, if you are going to be in a confined area with a man or men, even slight application of perfume will be noticed as you’re sharing a small amount of air, and your scent will carry, so better to avoid wearing it in such a case.

    If you will disregard that, then at least apply “just a dab” from fingertips to only areas on body covered by clothing,

    at least 30min before you will be confined, so as to let the potency of the scent wear off.

    I am talking about an Ehliche woman who doesn’t want to act oblivious to the fact that she may be causing Michsholim to other

    Jewish men.

    Note: This concept should be paid due attention, just as dressing tzanua, (If not more) since one can tell a man, “don’t look!”

    but you can’t tell him “don’t breath!” (smell)

    I wish you hatzlacha, adorable, and all other women who wish to take this seriously.

    IrFlatbush;

    Not a good idea, maybe send an “anonymous”

    Shana Tova card to her or family.

    have a woman fill it out so it doesn’t feel suspicious.

    ( especially if your handwriting is anything like mine,

    that might be a deal breaker:) )

    I guess you can do that with flowers too, if it’s addressed to

    Mishpacha Ploni. Not her! You might cause her big problems if you

    send her flowers at this point.

    Then when it continues and works out, you can divulge it to her

    or family and they’ll have a good laugh!

    If not, well, you still wished a yiddishe family a Shana Tova in style. No harm done!
