I cannot stand this. If someone wants to post questions about contradicting things such as asking about seminaries, and now shidduchim so what!? I hate how people get called out here, and embarrassed it is disgusting. Get a life this is a blog, an open forum, stop embarrassing people it is so upsetting.

All I use the Internet for is actually recipes, news, inspiration for work( I am a teacher and there are thousands upon thousands of fabulous lesson plans etc online, ywn ofcourse, that’s pretty much it.

Thanks for the tip! How do people here about this? I go to 711 all the time & get slurpees. Is there a sign that I am not seeing?

As of late last night there was nothing on fox or CNN. Yikes. Better it NOT be in the media. All we need is for the media and the left to cry that the gedolim are forcing archaic ways upon us, that’s all we need! In the way that France is trying to ban shechting, that caused the media to scrutinize the ” archaic and cruel??” form of slaughter that Jews and Muslims still use, we don’t need any fingers pointing at the Asifa drawing attention to it, plus the fact that it was all Men yeesh the media would have a field day!

It makes the simcha for so many people! No matter how happy one is for a chosson and Kallah, when someone hears they are going to a dry wedding they are ” bummed”.

What choice would you have?

Romney.

This country used to uphold its values and morals

, based on judeo Christian beliefs. It is all down hill from here. Honestly, I am against gay marriage as most? Frum Jews and people with morals are. But correct it doesn’t directly affect me. What DOES however is that fact that in 2012 it is unacceptable to have a moral thought or conservative view. The liberals can say what they want when they want, push their agendas on us, be pro whatever it is gay marriage etc, but I can’t say ” I am against gay marriage” out loud without being an awful person. It’s like being politically correct has taken over our country, we can’t even express our own thoughts without getting steam rolled.

Leap frog notepads are really good. There are a variety that focus on math, writing, and comprehension. Educational warehouse and even toys r us have a big selection of “lap top” esque computers for children with learning programs.

14 is still and will always be an outrageous age for marriage.

Lubavitch holds at 3. I know some beis Yaakov families who go according to what the school requires, as a previous poster posted. There are people who hold even younger than 3??

Chas v shalom. Be optimistic! We have until November.

You cannot be responsible for someone else’s actions. If by closing the streets you hope to prevent a Jew from chas v shalom driving on shabbos, that is really not your job. This is not a Jewish country, we get to choose how we live out lives bH but do not get to dictate how others do.

When you chew the wrong way and your teeth grind together. Ew!

Bowwow it is because of disgusting people like you that I think I am done with ywn. I was writing from my phone, whilst grocery shopping and doing a million things. Forgive me. I feel sorry for you that you feel the need to try to hurt someone’s feelings by pointing out their poor grammar, spelling or whatever it is you were being nasty about. Good luck to your spouse.

I have many kugel recipes that are healthy. I try not to eat kishka it is very unhealthy. A big part of healthy eating is everything-in-moderation. So yes have cholent and latkes and what have you but only in moderation. Cholent can be very healthy though I use barley and a variety of beans, no oil or salt.

On a different note, I think many people on YWN do not understand what the term troll means. If you think someone is trolling them don’t comment on the thread in this case though I think that is reaching.

Threads like this are probably really frightening to all of the high schoolers that go on ywn. I have not been married so long, bH I am extremely happy, this sort of thing scares me. Not quite sure I fully understand what the OP is trying to say. I see a lot of couples married 15-20+ years who have no respect for one another, or who don’t seem happy /in love/ content. Then again I only see a small portion of their relationship. The only real reference I have unfortunately is my parents marriage which is definitely not a good example to follow. I think it’s about compromise, and both sides need to work on it everyday. I feel like so much of what we learn in Kallah classes is forgotten or thrown out the window. Hashem wants you to love your spouse, and put them first and constantly buil on your relationship. People get to comfortable being lazy in their relationships and get in ruts and have a hard time finding their ways out.

I see it more in men. How about men gaining weight during wife’s pregnancy??

A lot of people do this, goyim included. I didn’t know there was a minhag or that this was even derived anywhere. Everyone who jumped up with their sarcastic comments should just worry about their own family’s traveling procedures. Nothing wrong with splitting up or traveling together.

In America you are innocent until proven guilty. All and i mean all of the facts, eye witness statement and evidence leads to Zimmerman telling the truth about the shooting being self defense.

The media has unfairly portrayed Martin as a saint showing childhood pictures only and botching the 911 tapes, and surveillance video showing zimmermans cuts bruises and bloodied head. Zimmermans neighbors came out saying he had bandages on his eye and nose for days after the incident which the media did not play up. NBC, while discrediting their own organization, lied and edited the 911 tapes trying to portray him as a huge racist.

Zimmerman tutored black kids on weekends, is a minority himself, and every black celebrity including the biggest Libs ever al sharpton and Jesse Jackson have come out condemning Zimmerman in the worst way. There is a bounty on zimmermans head which Obama has not said boo about. So please. I am not playing the Dan lekuf Zechus card because the Libs are defending Martin, I am because I am an educated person who looks at facts but until after the trial no one can really give an answer.

Is it worse than married men and women having endless conversations with the ppposite gender about serious topics and adding sometimes smiley faces after they post their comments? Just saying. That is ywn.

Not really. I’m not standing there screaming like a madman and cursing and what not. Some people get very passionate and heated at these games who cares. It’s a hobby. I hear what you are saying but if it’s not for you then just don’t go to the games right? Instead of telling everyone it’s “assur”.

I agree with that too it stinks that we can’t partake in the public school system but it’s the way America is run.

Legal or not the question should be is it morally acceptable. I work full time as does my husband who also has to save up his sick and personal days for the many yom tovim. We both pay taxes along with everything else we pay for, and it is just disheartening when so many other people have it so easy without really trying. My friends whose husbands are in kollel are fully supported by their parents, yet they are on Medicaid , WIC etc. I pay a very high price for my health care bH I have healthcare, but many friends living in nicer apartments than I are on Medicaid and have no co-pays etc. I just think everyone needs to do the right thing. If you want to learn on kollel then do it but don’t expect the government to provide your entire livlihood and means of living.
