Put out a glue trap with a bit of peanut butter.
After reading that article in the Jewish Press, I am going to open up a high school which will focus on making the girls look like models so they will get a shidduch.
Classes will be in hair styling, make up, fashion, and two hours of gym a day. Then instead of “wasting” twenty thousand (or more) on seminary, get a nose job, botox, and lipo instead!
This is exactly what the Jewish Press wants, to publish an article that will draw negative attention to their paper. This article caused much agmas nefesh and I hope an apology will soon follow. If not, I call on all those who buy this paper or suscribe to stop buying and cancel their subscription.
Maybe because you are only paying a shaddchanus fee but you are not paying for the costs and time of running the program itself.
It takes one month to get a refund.
My girls did it and it was no big deal. the people are highly trained in drawing blood and it didn’t hurt. Mamash takes two seconds. I think they draw about two small vials of blood, not much. It is a good idea for your daughter to have it done because then the girls get busy with seminary and college. Don’t be nervous your daughter will do just fine! Hatzlocha!
When there is a big kiddush at shul my neighbor doesn’t make choulent cause everyone comes home too stuffed. They just make kiddush and wash, a bit of fish and they are done. My husband does not eat at the kiddushim at shul because he would much rather come home and sit down like a mensch at the table and eat the seudah I prepared.
Someone gave us a veggie platter with choumous and pretzels. Yummy and healthy.
Yay!!! Mazal Tov!
My husband carries a roll of quarters to shul with him (obviously not on shabbos) to give to the poor people who ask for Tzaddakah. Honestly, I would prefer them collecting at shul than coming to my door when my husband is not home.
Two hundred girls? Three years? I don’t think his system is working so great!
I know how you feel. May you get a YES very soon to your beshairt!!
How about a challah cover?
Spend purim and shabbos in Bnei Brok.
Hot pretzels? YUM! Great idea!
I love home baked mishloach manos. The kugels and cakes go into my freezer and gets used. The candy goes to the cleaning lady. Only my close friends send baked stuff.
Both my daughters went to Bnos Sorah. It’s a great seminary, you will love it. Lucky you that you got in, I hear it’s very popular! hatzlocha
I can’t stand it when people dress up in Halloween costumes (like witches) on purim! No monster costumes, please!
One of the reasons why I am not renewing my subscription.
An hour a day of exercise is plenty. Doing more could be dangerous. There was an article recently in the mishpacha magazine (I think) about a young woman who was addicted to exercise. She even exercised on Shabbos.

Well good thing I never show up for breakfast!
BPT, I eat less when I am at a hotel than if I am home. At home I am always in the kitchen (and nibbling at this and that). At a hotel I have time to exercise and take care of myself and go to shiurim and daven. I come down for the meals and noone forces you to eat cake.
Hockster613, I have gone away to hotels for pesach and it was FANTASTIC! The best vacation ever!
I think AZ is the head of the project Nasi, Cherry Bim.
This is why I do not give rides to women with babies. I do not have a car seat and I could get ticketed.
When I do give women rides I always tell them to buckle up.
I pack breakfast and lunch for my husband every day. A chobani greek yogurt, fruits (banana, oranges, apples) some type of granola bar or banana muffin (that I bake). A bag of cut up veggies. Sandwhich with tuna, or cheese, eggsalad, chummus, peanut butter and jelly. A bag of healthy kind of chips or popcorn.
He loves it and thanks me. 🙂
If you yourself are not doing anything about helping the shidduchim situation, don’t criticize those who are putting in their time and effort in project nasi.
For those who are complaining about the money….we spend at least twenty thousand dollars for seminary in Israel. Isn’t getting them married just as important?
thank you and have a good shabbos.
Surely you can’t blame YWN for the pics of the celebrity that popped up on your computer when you googled it. I say that YWN is doing a great job and those who don’t think it’s for them can go else where.
I also used to go by a different name but then I changed to Imaofthree. Noone ever noticed, oh well! 🙂
BPT, I love, LOVE this!
“Starting at age 16, girls need to hear that there is no reason for them to break their heads, getting good marks, so they can get a degree, so they can support their husbands.
Next, tell them they need not rush into marraige at 19, because the quality boys are not running away. They are only getting more mature as the get into the 23-24 slot, hence better suited for the job of being a decent, appreciative husband.
Most important, is the next belief. They need to start looking for boys that have a job (or are almost done with getting their degree. Anything less, is an insult to the hard work the girls have (and continue to) put in towards getting a good carrear.
Once boys know what is expected of them, they will look for ways to achieve it. If the “admission ticket” to the dating arena means you need to be employable, you can be sure the boys will figure out a way to get in the game.
For too long, we have allowed our boys to live a double-standard, and its high time we demand from them the same accountability we do from our girls.”
This is why I made sure my daughter knew what she was going to do before she set foot on the plane to seminary.
Squeak, I strongly disagree with you and your post makes no sense!
hope you used plenty of mouthwash with the garlic diet! 🙂
I don’t really belong here either, I am probably much older than other posters. Some topics are very interesting to me, some are not. But I like the idea that I can sometimes bring up a topic and read other people’s opinions on it. So I don’t plan on stopping to read the coffee room.
Snow is pretty! Don’t worry we will get some, can’t be that we will have no snow this winter.
I found cute books on the topic to read to my toddler and got the cutest video from the library for kids about using the potty. Good luck and just be very patient.
Maybe she is OTD? You did the correct thing to tell her. There are so many chocolates that are kosher, wondering why she would choose a non kosher one.
I thought putting chains on tires is illegal because it eats up the road.

Always runs with scissors fast, I think what you are writing about is a very normal feeling for a baalas teshuva. Everyone goes up and down in their frumkiet, thinking how we could do better. Focus on the things that you do, don’t let the yatzer horah get you down and depressed. Thank you for sharing with us here in the coffee room and I wish you hatzlocha.
“In my observations, the majority of OTD children are the result of seemingly frum, but really “OTD parents”.”
Not true at all. There are many reasons why a child goes off the derech. Everyone thinks they know THE REASON.
How sad! We must daven harder for Moshiach to come.
Hi Crazybrit, I had ingrown toenails as a teenager and went to a podiatrist who removed the part that was ingrown but it kept coming back. So the podiatrist cortorized that part of the nail bed so it didn’t grow back. I have not had a problem since. Please don’t try to operate on yourself, go to the podiatrist and have it taken care of. feel better.
