welcome interjection!!!! and hQer-
There is a shidduch crisis- but maybe its BECAUSE evryone has ridiculous expectations- maybe just let them go out and see- in the old days there seemed to be no shidduch crisis- maybe the system is broken- maybe its not the best way for it to be handled- maybe the shidduch crisis is because a guy wont go out with a girl without a picture- but most girls don’t agree with pictures being given out- some are not against it- but im pretty sure not many if at all are for it- and its not histadlus- the checking out is histadlus the first date is histadlus but a picture im pretty sure is not- no one is saying u can’t ask about her looks etc- but at a certain point its going to far- it has to stop somewhere- we r NOT pieces of meat for sale or come pick ur perfect match etc- we r human with feelings and would like to be treated as such- most of the time the girl has met the shadchan- trust the shadchan! Seriously! Im not evn getting into halacha as to whether or not they can look at those pictures cuz im not a guy and i dont no all the details- but I do know it makes a girl feel more degraded like she’s a thing and not a person and if a guy asks for a pic i prob wuldnt wanna go out with him anyway- just my personal opinion- if im not worth the time of a first date unless i look a certain way then he’s not worth my time!
Goq- why culdnt helen keller drive? Cuz she was a woman!
when helen kellers parents wanted to punish her they gave her a waffle iron-
One of my guilty pleasures are jokes like these- I feel really bad- but they r really funny!
Oh boy do I have a list! I’ll just do a few-
yo mamma so fat u have to take 2 trains and a bus just to get to her good side
yo mamma so fat that when she goes to the beach the whales start singing “we r family”
yo brother so stupid when he went to the super bowl he brought a spoon
yo sister so skinny her pajamas only have one stripe
Logican- my friends did what animals – and cartoon characters – some were rlly on the mark – it was pretty funny
I’m honored!
Welcome back! So im kinda the oblivious type- so I have no idea wat happened but glad to have u back! The cr was greatly lacking without u!
The coffee room has been really boring lately- so I just couldn’t resist bumping this thread to hopefully liven it up a little- now with a lot of the main ppl gone 🙁 the life has kinda slowly drained from the cr!
I think the governer is shirking his duties!
welcome thewaddlingduck!-ur name reminds me of a song- the duck song on utube- culd that possibly be ur inspiration for such a genius name?
wait- kapusta is a she?? i didn’t realize- guess i have to read the cr more often
why not? y should we have to sift through tonz of pages of old threads?- they are interesting- don’t get me wrong- I do it all the time when I’m bored- but its just easier to start a new one
Rabbi Kahane is the best teacher ever- i didn’t know he wrote books- thnx marvafan i’m gonna go buy them!!
for shticky i pictured the most typical flatbush boy- with the plastic nerd style frame- and the skinny tie etc.
for zeeskite- i picture a mother of like 12- all under the age of 18- who is working, yet has everything under control is always calm etc. and all her kids feel like of course their her favorite-
for gumball- cute, fun, creative, bouncy, opinionated type- and the life of the party and everyone gets along with her.

bobchka- what is called? where could i get it? pls let me know cuz i’m looking for a good free filter
I have it- and don’t like it- and it doesn’t work well unless you really know how and what to do- and it slows down your connection!
Its seems that Flatbush people(not stereotyping!!) have coined the word PUMP instead of hydrant
never heard of it! is it new? whose is it? whose the principal?
shtusim- that’s only if the parents are picking the music 🙂
I’ll let u guess 😉 its not as though there’s a hint in my name…..
So whose gonna post from the asifah and let us know what they are saying 😉
Let’s see…………… nybc, mbc, abie rottenberg, destiny, baruch levine- not so much the singers more their songs and the messages of their words
20- he could find what to say on anything!!!
stick- my rav holds that all makeup is ok- just get a new lipstick-
seriously? please can we not do this all over again?
peerim- pls tell your friend that if he is one of those guys standing on the corner checking out the girls or purposely crossing the street purposely to “walk by” girls- 1) he obviously has no life 2) girls are talking about how pathetic he is- oh ya- and he’s being over an issur- but thats not my business.
btw- the old city is where the “action” is or the rova to be more specific- on a friday night or thurs night – so if you want to rant and rave about something pick something like that not some place pretty innocent like geula
its because of kashrus!!!- that is the original reason to no mishing- no one knew what other ppl did in their kitchens and to avoid embarresment- they all just said they don’t “mish” especially because alot of ppl have extra chumros on pesach- its a minhag that is still followed a lot- and if its ur minhag not to mish and you do- u have to be mater neder before hand- because u r taking a way a chumra- unless your husbands fam does mish- cuz then u are simply accepting his minhagim
stuck- oh so its a problem here but not at a bakery erev shabbos??? my sister once went into a bakery in bp- which will remain nameless- she was the only girl in a store packed full of chassidim- shomer negiah went out the window- she was pushed and shoved- and don’t tell me its because it was chassidim because i’ve seen it happen with plenty of different types of ppl!! that’s the way it is-
the girls i know didnt go get dressed up and especially go to geula- the only free time they had was fri- so they went- they didnt go to look at the guys etc- they just went got what they needed and left! its erev shabbos!! no one is just sitting around!! there are things to do!!
notedaskan- i think she means cuz a boy has an issur about thinking about girls- but girls dont have that issur-
what situation?? the girls are there- and the boys are there- thats it- its not like they are hanging out together- whats the big problem?? i went with a few friends one friday because we had to run a few errands- it was all completely pareve- girls going to do what they had to do and boys doing what they had to- and there also is the problem of the buses- a lot of them go through geula and thats the most convient place to catch them- and on erev shabbos everyone is taking buses to different places-
– just letting you know- you are going to an awesome place!!! and i’m sure there will be awesome girls going!!!! HAVE FUN!!!
nope- but a few of my friends sisters did- ur prob confusing me with one of them
his name is shlumpy? i always thought is was shnookie-
uuuuhhhh- dr. middios- i think you forgot to plug it in!!!
who spilled ketchup on the baby’s head? and who sat on my shabbos hat??…..
i’m a hippopotamus from my top to my bottomus- and i’ve got hippo feelings tooooooo……
they definitely should help!!! especially if their wife is working all day!!!
i’ve been on for a while- and was never welcomed 🙁 so now i am welcoming myself!!! 🙂
goq- because she is not trying to figure out who i am- merely, if she knows me- and obviously i am fine with that if i am answering- no one else can figure out who i am by this info- and most of my friends already know who i am
nopes- i went to lahav this year- i came back in january
not at all- at first i thought i did- but I was wrong- unless you were in sem with me? but i don’t think so-
personally- compared to all the other choices- AOL, yahoo,- gmail is the most “kosher” because no inappropriate pictures pop up- even if you have a filter- the other sites do
the first step to stopping an addiction is admitting your addicted-
Yes- it is!! finally when i had no access to a computer for months at a time- it helped- now its back- but i’ve learned to limit myself- which is very hard because i am one of those quiet people who have a lot to say- but not in public where you know who i am!
well unfortunately it happens- that’s why if you see a car on the side of the road at night in a secluded area you should not slow down and you should call 911 and see if anything has been reported and have them send help for the car- and i am not just saying this- i have been told this by many people- cops, hatzala members, and lawyers who work for the state said that there are many stories like that- baruch Hashem not many were Jews! and most happen in out of town places like the Catskills etc. Also if a cop car tries to pull you over at night you are allowed to not stop as long as you call 911 or the police precinct (if you know it)and give them the place and car number- they will radio the car that you won’t stop until you reach a more populated area- its 100% allowed- there have been cases of a cop off duty- or a stolen cop car- unfortunately this is the times we live in that we have to be careful about helping someone!!!
coffee addict- i don’t think it’s disgusting at all!! think about it- a lot of people would stop- but lately there have been lots of stories of people being hijacked because they stopped to help someone- if this was at night- he would have been crazy to stop- but since he was able to identify the car as a Jew’s he knew there would be no danger in stopping!!- it doesn’t really matter that it was fiveish- it could have been jep, simcha, the shmooze- or any of the countless schools and camps that make these magnets!!!
popa- anorexia is when the subject starves themselves and obssesses over the fact that they are fat even if they are not. they wear baggy and unattractive clothing because they feel they are fat and ugly!!!!!! its not just simply watching what you eat- which in the case above sounds like its fine that she’s watching what she eats- its completely natural for her to want to do that!
nechomah- you are right- most schools don’t and I am very thankful I had a uniform because i could never decide what to wear even just on shabbos- but the girls I know who went from uniformed elementary school to not wearing one in high school in the beginning maybe had a problem- but after that they got used to picking stuff out or just throwing on whatever- and they all became sure of themselves and of what they are wearing then the rest of us- who more than a half a yr out of high school- and are less confident and much more self conscious on what they pick out and dress for everyone else and not themselves- so sometimes in girls cases when you are older it might actually be better not to have a uniform and just have a dress code- that way they can gain confidence in an appropriate and tznuis fashion- and they learn first hand what is good and not- maybe we wouldn’t have so many girls whose skirts are just a little to high when they sit- or maybe just a little less flashy- as for guys- I agree with the whole white shirt thing for yeshivah- but I think to judge whether or not someone is more yeshivish or not really doesn’t depend on the shirt- and people shouldn’t be so quick to judge- almost 7 yrs ago mir Yerushalem put out a pamphlet- on the cover was a picture of all the boys learning all in white shirts- if you look closely there is one boy in a blue shirt- if one would see it one would assume he just came to the yeshiva and doesn’t know much yet or that he is more modern etc.- I know that boy- and all of that would be 100% not true- he actually was one of the top bachurim there- he just ran out of clean white shirts- and its better that the shirt should be blue then not clean- and he had no idea they were taking a picture because he was busy learning!- so just saying white shirt or blue- be careful not to judge!
more_2- uummm….. only bjj and maybe hadar have that policy- sry to ruin your point
if you are buying american products its expensive or regular price but if you buy the israeli products its cheaper or the same- but may be lesser quality- also food-wise- i would recomend either buying with ur frends and splitting the bill- or go to the shuk or geula once a week and buy a bunch- its cheaper there- also side note- the carmel popcorn in geula is a really gud studying food!!! buy it in bulk- its one of the cheapest if not THE cheapest snacks u can find
yummy cupcake- you can record it on an ipod- even a kosher one like the new nano- all you need is a little mic that fits into the headphone jack!- just make sure that the one that is bought is compatible with your ipod because otherwise it wont work!
twinklestar- bya and bnos sara are definitely sweater, blouse, and skirt type- maachon raya- dresses should also be fine
