Zushy – as you see, I’m not the one who did the bold. I don’t know what was wrong with what I said.
95: Can you please tell me what was wrong with my comment? I truly have no idea!
Health – ur at it again. Surprise Surprise!
“It’s just the rule -there are exceptions to every rule!
other people would have said,”sorry”” I totally agree with Syag!
And your comment “Stop constantly looking to find fault in
everything I do.” is totally backward – you’re the one finding fault with everyone else.
Haifagirl: “I don’t need an apology. Health entitled to his (her?) opinion.” Hey she was trying to help you, and I agree with her. For a former Chicagoan, you should stick with us.
We are not continuing the mistake of the other thread.
Zushy – thanks and welcome aboard the cr. And btw – impressive yichus you have!
DY: Yes. I agree that we should do our hishtadlus to give an opportunity for all girls to get married – all the while recognizing that it’s completely up to Hashem whether or not it succeeds- and of course we always hope it succeeds. I intentionally left out the phrase “based on statistics”. This statistic thing just bothers me. Maybe it’s because I feel that some girls may lose hope because of it. And also because of what I said before – we cannot only go by statistics. I just cannot get with that mindset.
Having said that – I wish all the singles – young and older – much hatzlacha and bracha in finding their bashert. We should all hear lots of Mazal Tovs!
Vogue: How about Chicago. There’s TI- a frum college for girls only. You can dorm there as well. You can also find part time jobs here as a start – as a teacher’s assistant. You can also put your name on a substitute list. Hatzlacha Rabba.
DY: To answer your question, yes we are in contact with shadchanim and friends. I did say we have to do our hishtadlus (see one of my previous posts). But we also have bitachon and know that Hashem is the One in charge.
Shoe store assistant: Thanks. +1 to your post too.
Golfer: “And in a mathematical equasion if they’re both equal then I think you’re wrong.” No they are not both equal. I repeat – Hashem is beyond statistics and mathematical equations (spelled with a t by the way). He is the One we must turn to. Period. BTW – can you explain how not believing in the shidduch crises and age gap would make one a koifer?
DY: apples and oranges. But if you’re going to make that comparison anyway, I would say, yes – Hashem is in charge of your parnassa as well. Of course one must do their hishtadlus to earn money and budget it correctly, just as one must do their hishtadlus in shidduchim. According to the statistic theory, there’s no point in working on shidduchim for the older girls if it’s already determined that 10% will not get married. Why don’t we just give up on the older girls?
Ok – I must admit I have not read all the posts here but I do feel the need to comment.
We just read in the Yated that 10% of girls at given time cannot be married. WHAT???????????? Why is everyone so obsessed with statistics? Statistically, the Jews should not even be around at all. Look how many nations, bigger and stronger, tried to get rid of us. If you only go by statistics, they should have been successful. No? So why weren’t they? Oh yeah – we forgot – there’s a G-d in this world who is beyond statistics! Why are we constantly taking Him out of the picture? If He wants someone to get married, they will. End of conversation.
Vogue – I can understand the teddy bears – they’re cute and cuddly.
But imaginary friends??? That sounds a bit over the top for that age group IMHO.
WIY- LOL. I was thinking something along those lines too.
We should put out an APB!
What a sad sad story! He should have a refuah shelaima! I will I”YH send in a check.
Rabbi Perfect: We had a similar situation a couple of years ago. Some woman called asking for my husband and I gave the same shpiel you did. “Oh so your the woman my husband’s cheating with?….”
I must say, I really had a good time with that! Of course my husband was standing right next to me and laughing the whole time.
I love having fun with these people.
ok – i’ll bite – what are you talking about?
42: ^_^
mitzvahgirl613- I do agree with you. If the parents tell you they will be home at a certain time then realize they won’t be, they should definitely call.
ultimateskier- If ur not joking, please don’t babysit. U sound a bit bitter or stressed out.
Everyday is mothers’ day! And don’t you forget that! ๐
May 10th anyone? Come on. Surely someone can come up with something. Let’s see if we can get the whole month done. ๐
Btw- 42 and Syag; LOL!!!
Mod 42; +1000000
A Modern Chasid – yes, I agree with sharp- how do you know what others are thinking?
a mamin – Just curious. Which news items “shocked” you?
writersoul and just my hapence: HUH?
and tomorrow is the day the ship with mayonaisse sank. ^_^
I do know a few of the posters here and they know me(and of course I know my kids sns but they haven’t posted in a while). I am very curious to know if I know any others, or if others know me.
Haifagirl, I’m one of those who haven’t figured out who you are yet? In fact I asked another poster but she doesn’t know either. I am sooo curious. How long have you been away from chicago?
Syag – if ur afraid to ask for opinions because ppl will know who the main players are, why don’t you use ur other (unused)screen name for that?
147 – I told him only to be chassidish TONIGHT. Then he and you can go back to being litvish.
syag – tell ur kids my son and i didn’t go either. not for the same reason though. we just didn’t go. in fact i asked him if he wants to find out if a certain friend was going and maybe he could go with him. (i now know that friend didn’t go either ;)) my girls and husband did go. actually we live close enough that i was able to hear the music from home.
Popa -so become chassidish for tonight ๐
I looked it up on youtube and found a few of them. It was special and moving but I wasn’t moved to tears as I thought I would based on what was said above.
can someone post the link?
we probably won’t allow it. sorry
