If you’re O+ you can’t give blood to anyone with Rh- blood.

He’s not married. Therefore, it failed.

And please, 200+ girls?! I doubt he wants to get married, and after that number has any idea what he’s looking for.

Just goes to show how desperate some girls are.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. What is your background and what do you want to know about seminaries? Do you already know about the application process, the reasons girls go to seminary, parents’ attitudes? If you give me some idea what you’re looking for I’ll be happy to explain.

Why did the cow jump over the moon?

What does Guinea mean and why is it an insult?

No, I’m not superstitious.

I find that atheists tend to be superstitious. I want to study that one day,when I have a bit of extra grant money.

I like wearing makeup, people tell me it looks natural and seem surprised that I wear makeup. It’s part of my daily routine.

Makeup is tznius! It’s existed for centuries and is meant to enhance your looks, not attract attention. In fact, I’ll argue that we need to give tznius makeup classes so girls can know apply makeup properly.

Is it Tznius to walk around wearing a golden crown saying “Yerushalayim shel Zahav”?

I’m also severely allergic and have been experiencing flare-ups. I use Benadryl when my symptoms get out of control, it really helps in knocking out the allergy and you don’t get the side effects as much when you have an active allergic reaction. Just use it alone as it is very powerful. Once it knocks out the allergy you should make sure to continue taking all your other medicines.

So for example, tomorrow PM, take Benadryl, your inhaler, and eye drops.

12 hours later, continue with all your regular medications.

This has always helped me get the symptoms back under control.

they are what you want them to be.

OneofMany – now you have me curious.

And to provide an answer – Koillel101 are you thinking of irrational #s?

I don’t believe that’s possible with real integers.

Oh, and what are the physical symptoms of dopamine antagonism? What are the different types of dopamine inhibition and how do they affect behavior?

Datura – thanks for quoting me. I felt that point had been lost in this thread.

Mike Hall:that sounded like your Mission Statement. 🙂

To the OP: No, that’s crazy.

If anything, our community suffers from people denying mental illness and refusing to treat it.

KFB – I’m in an extremely competitive field and have not had any problems due to my Touro degree; even Harvard has Touro listed!

It’s just that most frum people don’t know anything about colleges – many Ivy League professors, for example, (including several I am acquainted with) send their kids to the College of William and Mary for a quality education – a college which you’ve probably never heard of.

YU is no better than Touro, in the larger world, both are not well known and diverse experiences, high GPAs and GREs will get you anywhere regardless of where they came from.

KFB: Once we’re using anecdotal evidence: all my Touro friends who worked hard, did internships, and were realistic in terms of career, are reasonably satisfied with their jobs. (Except me, but that’s due to life choices which will delay my job seeking for a while to get more education.)

If you major in psychology, are going for speech, and don’t instantly get a high-paying job, that has to do with your mazal.

Touro has been around since 1972. YU connections are useful for YU-owned businesses, and Touro connections are useful for businesses run by Touro graduates.

In the real world, where you got the degree just doesn’t matter. People care about your experience, intelligence, knowledge, flexibility, confidence, and reliability; even going to Harvard isn’t going to make up for a lack in those areas.

PS A pet peeve of mine is when people blame an institution for the results of their life choices. If you did your best, that’s what Hashem wants, He doesn’t care where you got your degree either.

Let me emphasize that going to Touro is NOT a less respected degree. My experience in applying to schools on the doctoral level has been that I am not at a disadvantage.

HOWEVER, Touro is very much what you make of it. If you are self-motivated, you can receive an excellent education and a great deal of personal attention. Do your research, find out who is in your field, and whose politics you agree with. For some reason, my equally motivated friends in Stern did not easily develop close relationships to the professors they admired. In Touro, it may be easier to stand out and this is important if you intend to go to graduate school and rise in your field.

For a yeshivish / chasidish person I would recommend Touro, because it is thousands of dollars cheaper and you can receive a comparable education. The degree is just as good as YU’s and in some areas better. Socially you will find easily find friends who equally want to avoid the morally repugnant aspects of college life.

For a more modern person or someone who wants to be a little less frum and can afford it, I would recommend YU as you will be less comfortable in Touro. Touro students are from poorer, frummer families, overall.

Again, you will find all types in both colleges. However, they are currently equally good degrees and you should do what is best for you.
