    I’m not sure exactly how I can share it. Any ideas?

    I’m so sorry but I totally forgot about this and now that I was cleaning my drawers out for Pesach, found the family tree! Do you want to see it?

    How about Yikvei Zion? They have fabulous wines.

    My husband is a descendant of the Chasan Sofer. We have a detailed family tree going back a few generations. If I remember tonight, and if I can actually find it, I’ll try to look to see if it has any information that might help you.

    I was just at my dermatologist who suggested I go on Accutane. I’m still debating whether I should go for it or not. Over the past 20-25 years I’ve tried several other remedies to no avail. I’ve never had acne; just pimples. Now I have cystic acne, I’m 40 and seriously considering it. What do you think? Should I do it?

    I did because my name starts with an S.

    My husband was injured at 18 and was told by his doctors that his fertility was now questionable. When he started dating, he went to his rav to ask his advice since he wasn’t sure if he was supposed to reveal such information or not. The rav, a big posek, told him not to say anything. And b”h, a few years later, we became parents to a few wonderful children. All I can say is BH everything worked out well for us.

    My son is in one of the Touro for Men’s divisions. VERY disappointed….from the curriculum to the financial dept. Waste of time and money. He’s going to transfer out at the end of this semester iy”h.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have a whole brood (as much as I would have liked to) because of tuition.

    Another great thing about living here is that most simcha halls have parking lots. Sure beats NY simchas!

    I moved here because the housing prices were much cheaper than Brooklyn; and in Brooklyn you don’t get all that much. Brooklyn was totally out of the question because of its inaffordability. BH I bought my house before the prices skyrocketed. Today it’s worth double what I paid. Unfortunately, our property taxes keep rising and so does our yeshiva tuition. Hey, but at least gas is cheaper here than in NY!

    I live there, too. When I moved in like 15 years ago, there was a very mixed crowd. Today it is definitely more yeshivish. There are many BTs and singles but there are plenty of professionals and working people. The location is pretty convenient – we’re not far from NYC, Monsey, Teaneck and only about an hour + 10 minutes to Lakewood.

    My good friend is unfortunately in a situation where her husband is abusive and refuses to seek help, be it rabbinical advice or professional therapy. She has no choice but is in the process of filing divorce papers.

    I go to a hotel for Pesach. We had a fantastic activities director. There were games for kids only, parents only and kids and parents together. I’m sorry, my memory isn’t so good to remember what games we played but we all had fun.

    I once dated a guy with a nice car. Yes, the car was his, not from his parents. But I noticed on each of our dates that he had new license plates. I investigated further and found he had a criminal past! I couldn’t have dumped him faster! I can only thank G-d that he opened my eyes to realize that.

    Thanks for the advice but I have so much going on at home, work and my personal life that I just can’t remember everything. But now that I remember, I’ll check in more often.

    Hello…This is my first time posting! I couldn’t resist this topic and had to put in my two cents. I use the sharp edges of the top of the tuna can to break up the chunks. Then I add mayo and mash with a fork.
