That isn’t what I meant since in that case she was actually not being tznius (modest).

OK!!! Forget about my last line just answer the question!!! please 🙂

truth be told, why do you ask, do you have one for me?

I think it had the fake wood and certainly had the rear back seat.

BMWs and Ferraris ain’t got nothing on the charm of a 1980s, American station wagon !

HaLeiVi,LOL!

Thanks zahavasdad,

“If you drive through Jersey, there is a way to pay $2 on the bridges (Because of High Occupancy Vehicle rates).”

Does anyone know “the way”?

“Dont sleep shabbos afternoon”

Arc, easier said than done.

Shabbos cannot be the cause of your problem….Its your diet

BP Totty, I hear you, but I am not sure you are right.

I will try ( bli nedar 🙂 ) to ease off the challah though at BP’s and smartcookies suggestion.

Can’t believe I forgot my favorite of them all

880 Sunday Mornings and Legal Holidays – Cameron Swayze!!!

ames, thanks for understanding my point.

For all,

I wrote above,

“I am interested in your comments on this and things you may have heard about the importance/unimportance of attending anothers simcha.”

I am NOT interest in a mussar schmooze in the details of how/importance of being Dan L’Kaf Zechus or working on my skin thickness and putting my mind at ease. I am interested in what I wrote above, v’ze hoo!!

artchill, Sheesh! I said I don’t take it personally so don’t worry about the thickness of my skin. I am questioning whether it is derech eretz or not.

jphone, yes, I can also be ‘dan l’caf zchus’. You also missed my point. In any case, he isn’t that popular a Rav to have 9 simchas in one night and when I spoke to him in person he didn’t mention a word about other commitments.

Thanks Jay for the answers and the link to the online search.

Since there may be some confussion here I am reposting.

Hi all,

Thanks for your answers to my post a couple months back. I stumbled across what I was looking for. Actually, I was incorrect the Medrash is talking about purfume (maybe it can be stretched to cosemetics).

It is in Medrash Rabba (Breishis,Parsha 17:8) it says as follows (skipping the parts that aren’t relevant):

They asked Rebbi Yehoshua…Why does a women require perfume and a man doesn’t require perfume? He said to them,”Adom is created from earth and earth never decays. And Chava was created from bone. Mashel – If you leave meat for 3 days without salt it starts to putrefy.”

As I was getting at in my first post the Medrash implies that perfume isn’t just an enhancement for women rather it is an intrinsic need like salt for meat.

I didn’t mean that they need it to look appealing to their hubbies. I meant a chazal that seems to imply that they are lacking without it.

Thanks to all who replied.

tzippi, she is the oldest child. B”H I think she has a decent self-worth as I mentioned she is the top of her class, dresses well, has good middos and has decent looks. BTW, are you my aunt tzippi?

To the rest of you, two things.

(1)Last night I asked my daughter if she thinks that we are two restrictive with her. She came up with one thing (not the Yated) and even that it depended on what the reason was for restricting her i.e. if it was for safety she is OK with it. If it wasn’t she felt she is being babied.

(2)I hear your points and bli Nedar, I’ll ask my Rov if he agrees with our approach.

Shindy said “My family thinks the readers write is pretty ridiculous, and don’t take the letters too seriously. Just my opinion.”

I hear you, us too.

Generally we don’t get the Yated. But once in a while I wanna read about current events and I like the way they write about those things given us an overview.

What topics you ask?

There are the letters as one of you mentioned about girls with questions. There are all the shidduchim crisis letters. Money crisis letters. Basically things that a girls her age doesn’t need to be exposed to. They won’t ruin her but she doesn’t need them. Furthermore the opinions in them are not necessarily comming from Torah values.
