NK are the “Eyrev Rav” of our generation

Mazel Tov! Try Oh Nuts! they have some great stuff.

Tonight- French Onion Soup, Greek Salad and Stuffed Manicotti. Tomorrow, pesto salmon and tomato basil pasta. Delicious! Maybe I’ll post the recipes later on!

I’m pretty sure there’s a sale going on tomorrow- not sure if it’s there big semi-annual one though.

I have been having CRAZY heartburn lately, so I researched what I can do for it, and I read that it’s best to stay in an upright position (sitting is fine) for an hour or so after eating and not to eat anything fried for a few days. Some people say to go on a bland diet for 24-48 hours, like only clear drinks (water, apple juice etc), rice, applesauce, bananas, dry toast.

Mazel Tov!

Firstly, no it’s not a “real” thing, it just happens that way sometimes. If anything, I have heard that a kallah might look like a chosson’s sister or relative sometimes, because he is attracted to what he is used to (or vice versa). A lot of people think I look like one of my sister’s-in-law, and my married sister has the same story. But it has no real basis or anything, so don’t stress over it!

Enjoy your engagement- it’s a very special time!

I find that doing even little things earlier in the week help a lot- for example, cutting toilet paper, paper towels, etc., instead of leaving it to the last minute and nearly forgetting.

Also, freezing from one Shabbos to the next, like mentioned earlier, is a huge help!

I’m not even going to go into the part about being overweight, but regarding a person who is looking to fix his middos: A person can certainly try to fix some negative middos or bad habits before marriage, but in all honesty, marriage is the best middos school in the world, so if a person is, for example, a little selfish, living with and being dependent on another person will help solve that problem.

I have seen similar and worse on the Ave L and East 4th park in Flatbush- babysitters who treat the children they are watching like animals, too lazy to take them to the bathroom and letting them just use the grass instead, letting them run around without ANY clothes on, yelling and barking at them, forcefully shoving food down their throats when the child says they’re not hungry/don’t want to eat, etc. Parents, please be careful!

I took this course last year and highly recommend it to anyone and everyone looking to expand their graphic design career, whether you’re a beginner or have in the business a few years already. It’s thorough, very reasonably priced, especially for the information you are gaining, the teachers are highly knowledgeable, and very easy to learn from and work with, and you come out with a fantastic portfolio in the end, unique to your style.

Anyone have any ideas for a “stay-cation” in the Tel Aviv area? We have a hotel room there booked, and we need ideas on what to do…

@emoticon613: its close enough to the ground to jump, or the firefighters put their ladders up against the hanging ladder and you climb down the rest.

First of all, Mazel Tov!

it’s actually not, Geico’s logo is a gecko with googly eyes (type of lizard)

I can’t believe people haven’t been posting their simchos in 4 months…. this thread really has to be revived.

I’ll do it- I just got engaged! Although we don’t know each other, (and I haven’t posted in a while), Baruch Hashem, another simcha for klal yisrael!

Should it be worrisome if a guy says he doesn’t understand why his friends are totally obsessed (with their wives) right after marriage, and they’ve disappeared off the face of earth? Is that just because he’s never experienced the feeling of being a newlywed or does that mean there may be a possibility that he won’t pay enough attention to his wife?

I don’t blog all that often, only when I have something to say, but I’ll take 7. I like this thread 😉

The taxi driver may not have been in the right, but why are the police so quick to condemn him? How could the parents forget a child? Isn’t that child neglect?

As I scrolled down, reading through this thread, I noticed the following comments a couple of times: (I think it was bombmaniac) “cell phones are already becoming an absolute necessity.” In my opinion, I think this is wrong- cell phones are only a necessity when we make it a necessity. I remember begging my parents for a cell phone throughout high school. I received one when I got back from seminary, about a year and a half ago. My cell phone has been broken on and off for the past 4 months and due to monetary issues, I’m unable to replace it. I must say, I have had very few issues with not having a phone at all times. It’s not a necessity to have a cell phone, especially not at a young age, such as high schoolers.

Personally, since I don’t bring my cell with me on dates, I would rather prefer the guy does bring his. Case in point, the second time I went out (first guy), we got very lost in Manhattan on a rainy night, looking for a restaurant… and he couldn’t call to ask for directions, b/c he didn’t have his cell. I was also one time on a date where the guy’s phone did ring, and he just quietly hit the ignore button and put it away.

mepal, good ones!

h2, LOL! I LOVE blonde jokes!

Joseph, I didn’t take it personally, it just made me wonder…
