didnt go to machon but we were told about itfapods in high school also… anyone here remember the itfapod about the nosebleed seats? also did you machon ppl ever get sentenced to elba?
stuffed cabbage-
yes!! i would definitely love that gift!!
bp totty- i must admit- u are making me laugh tonight!
AinOhdMilvado-
I agree with you 100%. The lifestyle that kollel couples live these days is getting way out of hand. I’m not talking about all kollel couples, but I would say a nice percentage.
It is not fair for those who are really being moser to learn in kollel. How do you think they feel when their kids come home from school saying that they want this designer thing and that… why?? because their friends have it. This is what their kids see all around them and it’s sickening!! This is not what living a kollel lifestyle is all about!
dunno- LOL!!I am exactly the same way! I once found a roach in my bedroom and I tried vacuuming it but I missed… I slept at my parents house that night.
lol that’s funny… we are actually currently looking at houses in monsey. we are looking into a certain area with young couples…
oh really? I didn’t know you could do that… just curious- where you moving to? I don’t mean a sepcific block… what area?
and btw jobless, when I was excited that he came home at 11 that night, he ended up staying up working at home until 2! Is your husband able to work from home?
fri night:
homemade challah (sometimes with dips- dill dip, avocado dip…)
gefilte fish
chicken soup with kneidlach and lukshen
then in varies but i’ll give some of my typicals:
some kind of chicken or chicken nuggets
deli roll
london broil
potato kugel
garlic cauliflower
lukshen kugel
carrot muffins
Shabbos day:
challah and dips agn
sometimes fish
one or two salads- usually a deli salad or grilled chicken salad and israeli salad
chopped liver and sometimes egg salad
chulent, deli, leftover deli roll and leftover kugels
jobless- ye, i was thinking it would be pretty funny if our husbands work at the same firm. Or for all we know we live on the same block and could keep each other company on those looong nights. But I guess there’s no way to find that out 🙁
jobless- wow tonight must be early night- my husband got home at 11! but then he had to finish working at home.
bugs!!
wow jobless, i give you a lot of credit that u wait up for him when he gets home at that hour- especially being that u have a baby and have to go to work the next day! anyway, i find that it helps to talk on the phone. also, just curious- u said u don’t really have friends where you live- thats really hard! where do u live? do u live near family at least?
and btw, I feel just as bad for him. He gets home EXHAUSTED… has to wake up early for shachris, make time to learn… barely gets to see his kids… it’s hard! but can’t complain- bH he has a job! there are a lot of people unfortunately who would love to be in his position.
I feel for you! I have the same story. My husband is also an accountant and I also work part time. And no – not so that we can live luxuriously- so that we can live a normal lifestyle. My husband doesn’t have the regular tax busy season. His busy season is about 7-8 months out of the year in which he gets home between 11-1. The other few months its between 7-10. The frustrating part is that he doesn’t even get paid for overtime. If he did it wouldn’t bother me AS much. Anyway, it is hard- the evenings are very lonely and boring. Not that I don’t have work to keep me busy- I have young children, I prepare for work, and I have housework to do… it’s just not the same when you’re home alone all night with no one to talk to. The only thing you have to keep thinking is that this is just temporary and hopefully soon he’ll move up and make more money and not have to put in as crazy hours as he is now.
