Toi – I thought you weren’t in the US. I guess I would have to mail it then. Or come to a starbucks in Chicago and I’ll run some over! I never tried pickles with my coffee but I am willing to consider it.

The public school district I am at now expects the kids not only to read in kindergarten, but they have to write journals and book reviews too! It has gone from crazy to ridiculous.

ooooh, you’re right!

DY – yes, they are contractually prescribed to follow the ways of the chain but sometimes they run out of things and in a pinch will borrow from a ‘neighbor’ til they can get more.

I re read your posts several times. The only thing I can guess (I don’t claim to know, I am guessing), is that you don’t realize that your language is sometimes harsh (as you have heard from others as well) and that may be why you are not understanding were the responses are coming from. I will take that into consideration when I read your posts, and try hard not to respond, as you are so often offended when I do.

This is not the first time you have belittled my comments (eg. I said you shouldn’t eat open muffins, you said that I think a man wipes bacon grease on them with his sleeve) and then called me ‘not nice’ for asking you to be more respectful. If you are not sure what you wrote to “deserve” that response, re-read it. Being sarcastic and putting me down is not necessary.

Thank you for your permission to participate in this discussion.

shnitzy – try observing for an hour and see what you see.

I couldn’t even pretend that there’s a parallel there

My husband makes awesome pickles. And he makes me a special jar for me with no chili peppers in it.

he said ‘if’

DY – 🙂

why do people need to explain themselves to you? If someone says they are offended by something, why don’t you just respect it? You don’t have to give a whole arichus about it, just respect it. And why the mods don’t care about this topic has always been beyond me.

telling you to talk to your doctor IS serious advice. You can’t be serious thinking you should be getting information like this here. And any responsible doctor would not tell a teenager what MIGHT be wrong with her. You are going to the doctor tomorrow, ask him.

Hahsem should give you a refuah shlaima.

I volunteer to help during the early morning hours when normal people sleep. Other than that things are definitely faster than they had been. And so much more interactive!

Thanks. I’ve been trying to do early mornings. -127

That’s it, now I’m jealous! Now I want to be a mod even more than ever !

na na na boo boo

miritchka – thank you for being so kind, I wasn’t offended, just surprised. I know of so many people it has happened to and I felt bad for people to be thinking of these women as irresponsible. I remember one time needing to rush to the hospital on almost no notice in the middle of the night on Shabbos and by the time I woke my husband up, convinced him that a cab was not an option and waited for him to get dressed, we were almost too late. (The joys of motherhood)

2scents – you are right, it is not common, but it is not a rare occurance by any means and saying that it indicates a lack of responsibility was not always the case. I didn’t mean to blow it up, I just meant to clarify that it wasn’t a fair statement.

I actually wrote vomit and erased it, assuming I would be attacked by you for assuming the worst.

do u know if i cud put torahanytime stuff on an ipod?

Yup. Press ‘download’ instead of ‘play’.

Once upon a time there were two seminary girls in shidduchim. One was riding a bus when an old sephardic women told her that she truly believed that her destined one was a short man waiting third in line at the corner makolet. The old women said she knew this was true because today is Wednesday and she is always close to Hashem on Wednesdays. The girl could not believe the hasgocho that she normally never takes this bus and when she does she never talks to sephardic women but today she broke that pattern and ended up sitting next to her so there was no way in the world that it could be coincidence. She decided to get off at the next stop and tell the man she was seriously considering his inevitable proposal but felt she first should eat a few pieces of pizza and then meet with her Eim Bayit and her michaneches.

The other girls was redt a date by a shadchan but felt that he wasn’t spiritual enough for her because his shoes looked worn out and that meant he was obviously not spending enough time sitting at his shtender.

I just got TONS dropped off to distribute (along with seuda leftovers). I feel obligated to eat all the opened or broken packages but that’s only a dent. This year popcorn was very popular. I’m hoping one day carmel filled swiss chocolate will be a ‘left over’.

You can’t erase it, you have to replace it. When I stopped listening to secular music I found Jewish stuff I liked and kept it on me. I also found cool torah tapes like Rabbi Orlovsky and Rabbi Wallerstein for long rides.

WIY – Unfortunately when you fast your body shuts down and stores everything just in case you don’t end up getting food in the near future. I usually hope to catch the flu, it’s much easier to lose weight that way.

The answer to that (and all) questions is 42

I learned the poem with a second verse: He would chuck what a wood chuck would chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood.

Finally, a mod-ette!

too funny! I wish I had nothing to do. Today’s mantra is more like, “at work with lots to do but don’t feel like doing it”.

If you’re bored maybe you should go out and buy a sushi platter.
