I play an amazing game.It improves their motor skills, speach, and problem solving. You beging by tieing them up to each other and see how long it takes them to get loose.

Yes, I’m proud to say we have a TV at home but it’s only to watch the commercials, (we like to see the sales etc.)

what I find interesting is that this topic started because it was a rant about people making up sources. It is fine if you and your spouse want to take on the chumra and geder of not touching at all in public. BUT you shouldn’t say that it is assur. While I understand that ideally this might be something that me and my husband should work on, it is not something that we are doing right now. Toi say it is assur when it is not, is wrong and it can sometimes even cause some people to be machshil in other things that are halacchically assur.

in my taharat hamishpacha classes I asked my teacher what is assur and what is not. There are certain things that she told me that certain people accept on themselves as to be more tznius.

what is the smallest amount you can drink?

I say a hi to everyone I interact with as well, cashiers, tellers at the bank, even the people who answer your call after they placed you on hold for 20 minutes. I have never heard of anyone saying that this is amazing – it’s called common courtesy. I have experienced what wolf said about it being improper when I was a pre teen. I saw my best friends brother in the street and I said hi. he ignored me. I wasn’t even aware of how saying a hi could be improper. Now that I am married I experience that response less – Go Figure????

yes, it is terrible. And the other schools are not accepting these students mid-year!

Do you think a family friend expects less than a professional shadchan?

By the way when I was dating I always made sure to say a thank you to the shadchan for thinking of me and trying to set me up. Whether it went to a 2nd date or a 6th date. I think most people do say a thank you, you only hear of the horror stories.

Here or there with halacha there might be a right and wrong, but even then look at some of the different threads here – some rabbis say to drink on Purim some say don’t. In any case people here were mentioning things that people look at for shidduchim that are most definitely not halacha – which seminary/yeshiva, kollell is also not the only right way. So as anonymrs has said the crisis is because at least partly due to peoples own stupidity

were you responding to anonymrs post – because I don’t think what you’re saying is relevent. Otherwise could you be more specific? thanks

anonymrs – I agree 100% .

hereorthere – are you trying to say that there is a right seminary/yeshiva/color or type of tablecloth?!?

cereal and milk , popcorn . or ice cream are our faves

When I try to listen it comes really unclear, I’ll hear 1/2 a word then nothing then 1/2 a word, anyone know how to fix it?

Didn’t King David have the charechteristic of a murderer – so if back in the day someone would have anaylized his handwriting his would say murderer? Crazy! He was able to channel his charechter for the good, Mus that would make 1 crazy MIL

Oomis: You wrote so eloquently. I sent an e-mail to the governor, but ICOT, your words were more compelling than mine. I hope he listens. The thing is, had I not known it was a Jewish man who committed the killing, I probably would be a hypocrite and feel he deserves what he gets. That disturbs me on so many levels, but I do wish the death penalty were applied more frequently to those who have deliberately and without question, violently taken someone’s life.

THIS! I, too, sent a letter simply because he is a Jew.

Thanx for posting the Gov’s email

oomis, Imade the sesame chicken today thank you so much Delicious!
