1. If you are asking if it is realistic that you will find someone who does that while she is single–yes.
2. If you are asking whether it is realistic that she will continue to do that while you are married–less likely, but maybe.
3. If you are asking whether you will be able to tell if she will continue–probably not.
4. If you are asking whether you will have a happy marriage if you pressure her to do these things–absolutely not.
5. If you are asking whether it is something normal to want–I’m not sure. I’d like to hear more about why you want it. Is it so that you can discuss these things with her, or so that you will make sure she always feels similar to how you do, or I don’t know why.
No, you are getting the game all wrong.
There are two footballs. And there are 4 teams.
The 4 teams are divided into two groups, and there is a sort of alliance between the teams withing the two groups.
The purpose of the game is to get the football to the other end of the field, and throw it down on the ground hard. This is called a touchdown.
But the rules are, that you are only allowed to run with the ball, or catch the ball, if there are at least 2 people from your team (your actual team, not your group), within 20 feet of you. That is why you see the little groups fighting and running this way and that way–they are trying to arrange to have 2 of them within the 20 feet.
Here is where the alliance comes in–both teams within the group get points when a member of that group does a touchdown. So they try to help each other have the requisite 2 members. However, the points are not awarded evenly. Each touchdown wins you 3 points and the team which actually did it gets 2 while the other team gets only 1. But, then the team which got 1 gets to try to throw the ball through the upright poles in order to get 1 point. This is called “punting”, because one team in the group “punts” it to the other team in the group allowing them to get 2 points and hoping they will make it up by throwing it through the uprights. (You are also allowed to kick it through the uprights, and that is called a “kick-off”.)
Now, there are two balls, as I mentioned, and both balls are being played with by all the teams at the same time. On TV, they only show one at a time obviously, but that is how sometimes the score can change by more than 4 very quickly.
There are some other things; I’ll mention just a few.
“Out of bounds”. That is when one group is winning by a lot, and they begin to turn against each other, since they are really the threat to each other. This is called playing “out of bounds” because you are supposed to play as a group.
“Interception”. This is when one team within the group pretends they are helping the other team within their group, but then one of them sneaks in and grabs the ball.
“Instant replay”. This is when you do the same play again right away, figuring the other group won’t be expecting it. They usually show it on TV in slow motion, because they want you to see how similar it it.
There are also bludgers and quaffles, but that is very involved, and they aren’t always used in every game.
Sherut leumi is too complicated. Just join the army.
the frum world is inherently petrified of dogs.
Most frum Americans are descendant of holocaust survivors. Maybe that’s why.
And if you think you will be hanging out in kikar tzion every night, you should bring some appropriate clothes for that as well.

Sam: I’m looking there and not sure I see it yet, but I believe you.
I don’t think that’s completely the same idea necessarily, though. The contradiction is only when it is about beliefs.
Also, even if the gemara would say that precise idea–that ayin hora is only for people who believe in it, the Big Rov from BusterCrown’s story is still a contradiction. Because the gemara can believe in Ayin hora, and say that it only works on people who also believe. But, one cannot say that one does not believe but that it does work on people who do believe–because then you are saying you believe.
You are trying to cross a river, and you only have 1 boat. The boat can carry you and one other thing.
You need to bring:
1 wolf
1 sheep
1 giraffe
1 bale of cotton
1 bushel of apples
1 bushel of leaves
The wolf cannot be left together with either of the other animals, or it will eat them.
The sheep cannot be left together with the cotton, or it will eat it.
The giraffe cannot be left together with the leaves, or it will eat them.
How do you get across, in 11 or fewer crossings?
zdad: Tell us which sifrei acharonim the sfardim use that the ashkenazim don’t.
I learned from a big Rov that an ayin hora can only hurt you if you believe in it. He therefore does not believe in it.
That makes no sense. If he thinks it could hurt him if he believed in it, then he does believe in it.
(Really, I heard this idea as a kid. It didn’t make any sense then, and it doesn’t now, and it won’t when my kids hear about it either.)
Bring lots of money. It can get you all sorts of stuff.
boys will be boys. he’ll grow out of it.
That’s true. You rarely see an old man who smokes.
I guess it wouldn’t make sense for us to argue about what happened in this story, since neither of us know.
But if there is enough slack that the dog can still approach people, that seems like a problem.
Morah Rach,
Come now. OP says that he is often menaced by dogs who their owner is apparently not controlling with a leash. It would be an entirely appropriate response to kill the dog. If you think pepper spray is ineffective, he could try carrying a club.
And yes, I also like dogs. But not when their owner does not leash them and keep them from menacing people.
Get a metal one from Ikea.
Carry pepper spray. Next time, just whip it out and spray in the dog’s face.
You need to figure out why he is smoking, and then address that.
If it is because his father smokes, then you should just give up.
If it as a way of rebelling, then it will certainly not help to get upset.
If it is to fit in with his chevrah, then you need to boost his self confidence so that he will feel comfortable without that.
147: Sure, that’ll probably help. lol
please note the 1 million they get is
AS A DONATION so people donate more. in other words the money that people donate really gets to them and most of the prizes, graphics, marketing etc is all donated! otherwise, they will be keeping all the money that goes into and its a lot to the org.
Sorry, that doesn’t work. They could solicit the money as a donation instead of as a prize. It only makes sense to solicit it as a prize if they are making so much money that it makes sense to offer a million dollar prize.
Don’t use credit cards. Only use cash. Give her access to the cash, but it will still register on her that she is spending.
Oy vey. First, there is no such things as “da’as yehudi”. “Jewish knowledge”?! “<i>Das</i> yehudis” is the <i>rule</i> of a Yehudis, i.e. the established way that a Yehudis behaves.
I’ll help you explain it.

Rosh Hashana 25b
Chmetz is “b’mashehu” which is even a speck. When the flour and water is mixed, is it not possible that a minute speck of flour remained on the outside or inside of the dough? This speck of flour can later become chometz if used gebrokt!!
Ask any lady who bakes challah if it is possible that a speck of flour remained and did not mix into the dough!!
I have no no disrespect for the minhag. But I will happily disrespect your unbelievable and idiotic thinking that it is pashut.
If it was such a real concern like you say, it would be assur m’dina.
Elaborate
I’m going to agree with OOM. And I’ll add this, which OOM will “certainly” agree with me.
Perhaps, for yourself, you can just roll your eyes and mutter (so that she can hear) “there the crazy lady goes again”.
On your scanner? What is this scanner, and why are you using it?
My sephardic friends are actually quite machmir as a result of the mechaber’s shitta there, and will not use egg challa on shabbos because they are afraid it is mezonos.
Popa
Not sure this is a joking matter…
I am quite sure it is. OP didn’t ask for any constructive reason.
OP didn’t ask how to tell if your kids are being abused. OP asked how to tell if an adult was abused as a child. OP is trolling. Thus my response.

There is simply no such thing as mezonot bread. Read the OU psak above. I agree 100% with it.
I’ve never seen the OU maligned so badly as the above. (even by me)
Dating is not like shopping for a suit.
When you shop for a suit, you put one on. If it fits, you try on another one which looks like it will also fit and might be better. And after you try on a bunch, you take the best one.
When you date: if it fits, you buy it.
I think it is called for.
Also his am haaratzus.
I am saying exactly that; I think it is more important to pay for the jewish education of frum children than non-frum children.
What does free speech have to do with this? Having a “right” does not make something any more or less correct to do.
If they are raffling $1 million, they must be bringing in so much more than that.
I find this a bit troubling, actually. I can think of many better uses for the national frum community’s tzedaka dollars than oorah.
How about supporting your local day school which is heavily in the red and cannot afford to properly service the kids who are already frum.
How about supporting your local yeshiva which is months behind on paying its rebbeim?
How about supporting your local mikva, local chessed org, etc.
I don’t daven from my phone. I daven by heart. If you see me looking at my phone, I am certainly checking messages or playing a game.
There’s no such thing.
and popa..are u always such an impossible person, or only here on yeshivaworld? Let someone catch a break every now and again will ya
I am helping you. Now that you know it is something you can do, you will have the motivation to do it.
I’m not worried about the food…as long as its kosher I’m fine with it.
Right. What I am telling you is that it is not, and that you will need to do your own homework about the food, and be aware of where they are heating it up, etc.
Yeah. The kosher food on the kosher ones, is not always up to your standards, by about a mile.
Keep it coming.
yenting:
yes, that’s fine. No point in studying more than is necessary to get into the school you want.
syag: thank you.
Bit of an overreaction here, to the overreactors.
The protesters are misguided. But you people are a bit loony also.
Where do these low lives come from? What a stain and shame on our people!
Seriously? Low lives?
It’s a standardized test. There is little excuse for not scoring a perfect score on any standardized test. There are literally millions of practice questions available.
Anyone can use a semi-colon; it is quite commonly used.
Probably.
