Thanks Joseph. My, this place has changed, but you’ve always been a constant. Gotta go and meet all the new people now.
😮
You mean to tell me I worked so hard to get one I like, and it’s no more?!
(I do like the new look btw. I may stop by more often now.)
Happygirlygirl – Why don’t you start off with reading the “Alcoholic Annonymous” book? (You can download it as an ebook or PDF if you don’t want anyone around you to know what you’re reading, BTDT.) While it is written for those with alcohol addiction, the basic principles are identical across all addictions.
The book will give you the basics and bit more insight about the 12 Steps. And as far as meetings, as kapusta said, see if you can find a group online. Once you see what it’s all about, you can make a better decision about joining a live group.
Snake Oil is loads of fun for those people with big imagination.
Very offensive.
The video was targeting people who would join the competition, not everyone. I doubt those people found it offensive. (That’s my opinion, maybe they do, don’t know. I’m not in that position b”h.)
Does keeping tznius mean you have to be boring and one dimensional?
That’s how tznius is “marketed” in many schools. Go figure.
And then they wonder why it’s not working.
I have done that when I was too lazy to pick out something to wear Shabbos morning. And luckily I was also too lazy to hang up my stuff from the night before. But I usually don’t. Most people don’t.
My high school give out this poem every year before school shabbos:
The Plain Campaign:
Join our campaign
Please dress plain
It’s not the outfit that amount
But the person that counts
So reduce all the stress
And simply dress less
And on Friday you’ll see
How simple you can be
You’ll look very nice
If you wear your skirt thrice
Just vary the shirt
And please avoid dirt
Remember, there’s nothing wrong
With a skirt that’s properly long
But there’s something not right
With a skirt that’s too tight
So straighten your priorities
And wear a big smile
And then, School Name Here
You’ll really be in style
Manalapan, 25 minutes from Lakewood. Small kollel, nice but small and active frum community. Bigger non-orthodox community as well.
Passaic is bigger, but also nice.
Eatontown/Oakhurst near Long Branch which has a big Sfardi/Syrian community.
I second Bensalem, PA. Nice people.
Rochester, NY
Waterbury, CT
Norfolk, VA
Ray2220, feel free to ask any questions. I’ve looked in to all the communities I mentioned as we’re looking to relocate too.
Riding in a station wagon (carpooling to playgroup) on the seat facing backwards. The girl sitting next to me vomited all over me. When I got to playgroup I was excited to change in to the clothing I never got to wear (aka the extra set my mother sent in the beginning of the year in case of an accident). I was 2.5 at the time.
I had a different screen name. Except it was an impostor :O

MDG-There’s an excerpt on Artscroll’s website.
Looks very intriguing, thanks eclipse for mentioning!
Teardrop by Abie Rottenberg. Very basic and pretty repetitive.
While I was in camp a couple years back, a fellow staff member taught a few other girls how to play guitar and that was her go to song…It’s still coming out of my ears.
(“It’s the 3 weeks! Please tell me there’s no guitar lessons today!!”
“You call that music?”
groan)
I feel like a machine without an “off” button.
Does anyone have a cleaning lady who can do Thursday afternoon or Fridays?
Wake up, feed baby, bathe and dress baby, put baby to sleep, (breath), eat breakfast, get dressed, prepare supper, cleanup, feed baby, change baby, go to work, work, work, work, work, work, pick up baby, feed baby, change baby, eat supper, cleanup, errands, feed baby, change baby, sleep, wake up, feed baby, sleep, wake up, feed baby….
Oh and cook and clean for Shabbos at some point in the blur of days and nights…
How do mothers stay sane?! This problem is a lot more than just lack of cleaning help.
Any practical tips on how to find time to just live and be yourself?
Or you can just reassure me that this is a passing stage and I should just enjoy it because there are so many that wish they can be in my shoes. I can never hear that enough, it has a hard time sticking in my head.
What about talking on the phone in the restroom? More points if it’s in a public restroom.
If only everyone would read the details of the study…
Who even eats more than 160 grams of meat every single day of their lives?
It’s true the same way that soy affects your reproduction system is true…
Mods, please let this link through
i do about 4-5 loads of laundry every sunday morning.
Same here. Once a week.
And for the things you need washed before Sunday (ex. baby clothing) just bypass the hamper and put them straight in the washer. No digging through dirty stuff to find what you need when you’re ready to run a load.
Welcome back Shopping613! Good to see you again 😉
iPhones don’t take sd cards, so if you’re going to go with that make sure to invest in one that will have enough storage for you. Or be prepared to upgrade your iCloud storage.
As per TAG (Technology Awareness Group), Androids are harder to filter. If that’s a game changer for you go with the iPhone or Blackberry.
Rabbi Zelig Freilich has a night Seminary in Lakewood with very good classes. look him up in a Lakewood phone book
I second this. Great classes and great atmosphere.
Penima (google Penima Lakewood) also runs throughout the year if you’re looking for something not as intense. (R Feilich’s classes are 3 nights a week- more of a commitment, while Penima is just Wednesday nights I believe).
Morality absolutely IS relative. TORAH morality is not, however, and is absolute and for all time.
And this, my friends, sums up the entire question in 16 words. Thanks oomis!
Morality is halacha.
Sigh….I’ve had the same question for ages. Discussed it here once (see here: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/using-physical-force#post-49188)
Morality is not halacha. As Orthodox Jews we can only hope that our morals come from the Torah but given today’s society that is often not the case.
A little rain never hurt anyone
On the contrary, when it really started coming down yesterday I finally got some reprieve from seasonal allergies…this year’s been really tough.
Let it rain!!!
in 1st grade we learnt this song when we saw a mouse in class. the teacher had all of us stand on our chairs and scream this song in hebrew. I’ll just type out the english translation:
mouse, mouse, listen to me
or else the cat will come quickly!
He has teeth! He has lips!
Mouse, mouse, run, run, run!
That reminds me…
“Three blind mice…see how they run…”
I can’t finish the rest it’s too horrid.
Little Miss Muffit
Humpty Dumpty
And any other Mother Goose rhymes.
And there are some songs I thought were pointless but I actually use now, like the multiplication tables I learnt in third grade, and the provinces of Canada…
Anyone know if I can find the lyrics to the new Miracles album online? (Great album btw, especially for those long-time Camp Bnosers-all our favorites ;))
I’ll see if I could find out about which cookie it was…can’t seem to remember. And yes, regular mustard from a bottle (but not spicy brown).
I don’t have a recipe for cookies, but I do remember my sister using a frying pan for cookies and they were really good!! (During Superstorm Sandy we got stuck with a bowl of cookie dough and no power…)
Regarding other stovetop recipes, I have a bunch!! I work till 6 so I need supper ready within a half hour when I walk in the door and I find that anything on the stovetop cooks real fast.
I’ll post one for now and try to make time for more later.
Honey Mustard Chicken (from Fresh and Easy by Leah Shapira)
Cut chicken cutlets in to strips. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat 3-4 tbs oil and add 1-2 onions diced. (The onions in this recipe come out really good, caramelized to perfection so if you go for onions definitely use 2.) Cook 10-15 min till golden.
Add chicken and any vegetables if using (I like using red pepper, but really put in anything you like). Cook 5 min or until chicken turns white.
Add 3 tablespoons each of mustard, honey, and soy sauce. Cook 10-15 minutes.
I serve it on rice, though recipe says orzo is also good.
It’s not sitting between two women. It’s walking between them. It causes forgetfulness. Horiyos 13b
What about a married woman between two men (and is it different if it’s her husband and her brother)?
Anyone ever hear of a married person not sitting between two people of the opposite gender (even if one of them is your spouse and the other is your sibling)?
Not to put on or take off multiple pieces of clothing at the same time (think tshirt & tzitzis). if i remember correctly it may cause forgetfulness. 🙂
Heard of this one too and would love a source.
Also, anyone know a source about getting rid of cut nails? My mother holds that it has to get washed away (down the drain, in the toilet…) because it’s a part of your body. Is something wrong with the just wrapping well and throwing out?
Is there a source that a pregnant woman should not gaze at animals? And what about stepping on cut nails? (I know that’s a well-known one, but what’s the source?)
Amphetamines-Amphetamine is a potent central nervous system stimulant of the phenethylamine class that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy.
For the uninformed like me who had to look up on Wikipedia what this means.
I’m running out of breath. How do you just keep going?
Shprintza Henna Raizel Gitty Batsheva. But everyone calls her Batsheva, cuz all the other names are ugly.
That’s not very nice. Maybe if you knew me you wouldn’t say that.
Anyone? Or is it too early to talk about Pesach?
I’m looking for a new readable English Haggadah to use by this year’s seder.
Does anyone know anything about the new haggados that were published this year? Is R’ Yechiel Spero’s “Touched by our Story” hagaddah similar to his previous “Touched by a Seder”? Has anyone looked at “The Generation to Generation Haggadah” that Artsroll has been advertising?
I’d appreciate any info on these or any other English haggados! TIA!
I’d say chocolate in a heartbeat and I don’t think that’s immature 🙂
I like fresh flowers as well. A lot. With our small emptyish apartment, fresh flowers add a whole lot of life. Fake flowers just don’t stand out the same way as a fresh bouquet. I know it’s not practical though for everyday (got fake ones for that) but when we’re home for Shabbos that’s the way it’s got to be.
Just listened to the song you referred to in your post and typed the lyrics up. Sorry for any mixed up or missing words…
So this is where it’s time for dreams to end
I always thought
One final hour to cry again
I wave goodbye and there’s not looking back
A strangers road lies before me now
And with each step all the memories fly by
It’s time to let go but I just don’t know how
I walk away while my heart remains behind
And all I have to guide
Is the courage and the strength you gave
The comfort of a friendship
That always gives me so much gain
Why does goodbye have to change everything
Tell me why
Tomorrow’s a new song I’m singing on my own
I try to move on but the tears keep on blinding me
Can you promise me
That even if goodbyes change everything
You will always remember me
And I wish you only joy in everything you do
And I wish you friends to call when skies are grey and you feel blue
And you’re not just another friend there’s no one else like you
Now wrap up all these wishes and make them all come true
Now remember how we laughed and remember how we’d sing
How we talked for hours and hours about nothing but everything
Remember how we planned our lives it was only make believe
I hope it all works right exactly how you dreamed
Whatever happens when it rains or when it snow
When you’ve got troubles and there’s nowhere else to go
I’m just a phone call away
And you know I’m gonna say
We’ll be there for each other
It’s always been that way
Why does goodbye have to change everything
Tell me why
Tomorrow’s a new song I’m singing on my own
I try to move on but the tears keep on blinding me
Can you promise me
That even if goodbyes change everything
You will always remember
