now we know why New Yorkers are so grumpy. The driving situation combines with lack of sleep due to the honking…bad combination.
we never spoke during engagement because a couple should not get to know each other until after the wedding. I am told that in more machmir circles, the couple try to avoid communicating until after shana rishona.
a-yes
b-yes
c-yes
d-no. take the ritalin & none of the above will bother you.
YOUR day may be less stressful, but I wonder how the aniyim feel. Probably not so happy.
does she say “my blank made it”? that would seem odd to me.
Jews don’t get drunk. they get shrekker. I mean shikker. hic.
didn’t you hear, Boro Park is being re-named.
It is now going to be called Double-Park.
I give each rebbi $100, once on Chanukah and once on Purim. If the rebbi was really amazing, I give again at the end of the year with a note expressing my appreciation. Most rebbeim work extremely hard and are underpaid. I wish I could give more.
coffee. 3 Advil. anything after that is dessert.
Purim, like everything in Judaism, is about figuring out what is the correct, appropriate thing to do and THEN DOING IT. So if you want to get the message out about mishlocah manos, send everyone you know something nice and simple.
I’m the one sending out an apple and a hamentash on a paper plate.
6000KB, what should I do? I don’t understand a word of Yiddish! Is there perhaps an English version? Or can I yell “CHOLENT” when they come for us?

maybe it’s a circular file?
Canadians go to the washroom, never the bathroom. Eh?
HaShem KNOWS THE TRUTH. That is the only thing that comforts me when I see sheker prevailing in this world.
take away the phone. duh.
Tirtsa decides to become a Bais Yaakov teacher because party planning is too “gashmius-dik” for her.
psych =
psychiatrist?
psychologist?
psyche?
Psychopath?
cholent.
did you check out Ikea? None of there stuff costs much. But you have to put it together yourself. Or have your wife do it.
Gila decides to give her husband a second chance, he turns into the nicest, sweetest guy, the community forgives him for his kashrus indiscretions, and Gila even loses 50 pounds since she is so happy with her life that she doesn’t need to overeat. The children grow up to be gedolim and roshei yeshiva and rebbetzins.
This is the ending I predict.
Anyone out there disagree?
I am losing my appetite, folks.
no one ever knows what exactly is going on in someone else’s marriage. just because you think a marriage could have been preserved does not make it so. even when you are IN the marriage, you may be clueless as to how your spouse really thinks or feels.
Gila and the kids were happier without him. why should she take him back?

a lot depends on what type of shidduch you hope to make for your baby.
I hear many boys won’t go out with a girl who chas veshalom drank cholov stam formula. Shadchanim are starting to ask about this, right after they ask about whether or not the family uses plastic tablecloths on Shabbos. Sometimes the baby formula question even comes before.
ert, are you implying something? is the CR starting to smell funny?
Gila should take the offered GET as quickly as she can. It would make for a more interesting ending as opposed to “happily ever after”.
great. now I’m hungry again.
Mishpacha is the most daring of the chareidi publications, in my opinion. They are willing to write about sensitive topics even though they get flak for it sometimes from their readership.
the cheeseburger was very tasty, “nisht treif ge’essin”.
there is Brooklyn, and then there is “everywhere else”! It says so on the map, doesn’t it?
Spoken like a true Brooklynite!
Individual, you said it well. How can we know why a particular person remains unmarried? This whole thread presumes that it’s due to factors under the single’s control. I don’t think it’s fair to say that. People CHOOSE to get married, and singlehood is a “default” state!
I like the ones where everyone disagrees with everyone else but no one listens to anyone else’s opinion. Also the ones where people offer opinions on subjects they know nothing about. Otherewise it’s just boring, civil conversation…who needs a CR for THAT!
😉
chicken soup cures everything.
I don’t like the implication that singles are somehow to blame for their single status. Singles have it hard enough! I know a number of single girls in their 20’s who aren’t being “redt” shidduchim because they are from divorced homes, or don’t want to support learning boys, or are not size 2. They are dying to get married, but no one wants to give them a chance. Now add to that pain by saying that these girls made a choice!
buy low, sell high.
and don’t drink the kool-aid, er, coffee.
when I say “meaningful”, I mean accurately descriptive. I find that people don’t want to be pinned down on anything for fear of impeding a shidduch. If a girl/boy is quiet, and the other side is looking for someone lively, why is it wrong to share this information? I don’t see why this would be loshon hora, as long as it is said for constructive purposes. In this case, to spare both sides a wasted date.
The opposite! People have become so afraid of loshon hora that they don’t give out meaningful information.
Is the practice “accepted”? Well, we may have gotten used to it. But it’s not “acceptable” behavior.
It’s gotten to the point where I dread opening the door. Some of the tzedakah collectors have gotten very aggressive, ringing the bell at all hours, arguing, etc. I try to remind myself that I’m glad I’m not in their position…but giving tzedakah happily becomes a lot more challenging when the recipient seems unappreciative.
crawl into bed and hide. take some rugelach with you.
It’s hard to be a teenager. I hated hearing “be happy, these are the best days of your life”. NOT TRUE for everyone. If you can tough it out, things will improve. Anti-depressants can take a few weeks to kick in, but if you don’t see a difference after that, make sure to tell your doctor.
Exercise has been shown to help combat depression, so you might want to try that. Hatzlocha! Keep us posted on how you’re doing!
AH, sorry if I hurt your feelings. I was “arg-ing” in general, not at you personally.
arg
sigh. nobody got my joke.
if you have kids, there are a lot of schools to choose from in Flatbush.
…feeling groovy
keep that kind of stuff out of the house if you know it is your downfall. if you must buy junk for other family members, buy what you don’t like.
try to go along for some of her doctor appointments, sonogram, etc.
