My favorite is just as easy as the ketchup and mayonnaise to prepare… one cup sugar and one cup white vinegar… I like it best on a pepper salad.

I guess everyone here learned young… I learned how to read at age four from a computer program made by Microsoft- My Personal Tutor. I don’t think they make it anymore. It was great. It taught the ABC’s, phonics and writing in a fun way.

Do you know his personality type? What does he enjoy learning in secular studies?

superme- when it was math A and B you had to take two math courses and one math regent. Now that it’s 1, 2, and 3 you are required to take three math courses and two math regents. You also need two sciences, one foreign language, Global History and American History, as well as English. If you take an additional foreign language, an additional science you may be eligible for an advanced regents diploma.

About a month ago I had a medical emergency and needed to be taken into the hospital. I had male Hatzala members taking me there, and a male physician in the hospital. At the time I didn’t let myself care because I knew my health comes first. I would have wanted female for both though. Yes, I was grateful for Hatzalas help. I would have appreciated a female member even more. PBA- my father would have driven me in, but traffic where I live is so horrendous the only way to get to the hospital in under a half hour is with sirens.

4… giggle girl’s not quite right about chassidish people believing women shouldn’t fast. Belz, Skvere and Klozenberg believe that, but almost everyone else doesn’t. My mother and sisters all fast.

akuperma- a gartel is only used for non-family members. Chosson and Kallah dance holding hands.

Whole wheat bread with extra chunky peanut butter and strawberry jam… my sisters love it too.

I agree that she was not acting in a manner suited for a court setting. I don’t know how many of you realized this though- that wasn’t a regular courtroom setting. She was wearing a prisoners uniform and another girl was waiting in line behind her. She was acting silly at first, not really rude- just silly. The judge set her bail and told her good bye. She said adios- which means good bye- back. He called her back and doubled her bail. She got angry that the bail was doubled for no reason and cursed the judge… I say none were right, but a judge is supposed to set an example. I’d side with the girl on the bail.

People- you’re forgetting that in all likelihood Kimches did not bath at home but in a bathhouse. Her hair was probably uncovered there.

It was awful… not only did it give a terrible impression of chassidim, it didn’t even begin to make sense… chock full of errors.

No

I actually know a case where it went the other way around… The wife is a famous mechaneches, so people called her rebbetzin. Being as it can’t be Mr. & Rebbetzin, it became Rabbi & Rebbetzin. He does not fill any position that would give him the title.

Yenta- don’t call the person a name, rather the action. They are not insane, they are doing an insane thing. There are much better ways to lose weight. If dieting with the help of a nutritionist doesn’t work, discuss the lap band surgery with your doctor. Many people have done it, and are very happy. It is a very safe surgery as far as surgeries go. It’s for sure safer than taking pills not approved by the FDA.

Some people do have blue stripes on their talleisim.

I don’t know why everyone here seems to be under the impression that wearing a costume will attract undue attention… depending on where I’m being for purim, that’s how I’ll dress up. But I will dress up every purim. One year when my hair was shoulder length I wore extensions in my hair to make it waist lenghth, and I wore earings that were totally not my style. This year I plan on wearing a wig of a totally different color than my hair. For people who know me, they’ll see right away that it’s a costume, but for strangers I look like everyone else.

I’m not Israeli, but I’m definitely chareidi and both of my parents work full time as computer programmers. My father didn’t really learn English in school, so he was given books to learn from at home. He taught himself programming without going to college. Yes, it’s possible. My mother didn’t go to college either, just a few courses.

Boruch Hashem I’m not in a situation now where Shabbos is difficult, but quoting my father it’s better to eat peanut butter sandwiches on shabbos than taking money from tzedakka to buy food. If the food during the week is also from tzedakka than the Shabbos food should be special.

Try eating foods that are easier to eat… or make sure your food is fully chewed before swallowing. The stomach can’t do mechanical digestion, only the teeth can. It can’t handle big chunks of food.

I read all the time and post occasionally…

Can you please make mine “Oh, sorry, I didn’t catch that”

Serach bas Asher

Lice and nits are more sensitive to heat than skins, so if you take a blowdryer on high for 30 seconds per section of scalp it kills them. Note- it doesn’t remove them. They are easier to remove once they’re dead though. Gather her hair in a pony or braid before school to keep her from getting reinfested from other children.

Bless You: Forgive and forget is not a jewish concept. What the person did to you can be as real to you and as painful as if it happened a minute ago. In order to be considered true forgiveness, you have to feel in your heart that you don’t want any bad to happen to that person for what he/she did to you. You have to let go of any thoughts of revenge, even from heaven. That’s true forgiveness.

For a first guitar you don’t need something fancy… I went with a Kona and I’m happy
