we travel separately sometimes. my parents in 1 car with some of the kids and myself driving the other car with the rest of the kids. this way, those who need to leave earlier can do so and b/c we are not squished in 1 car/van, there are less fights.
i’m an oldest and i am more frum than my siblings but not from closeness to my parents. it was a conscience decision to be different than my parents and i made changes (and making changes) to the i live and think so i DONT bring habits and practices from my parents into my home when IY”H i get married.
my father thinks i’m close to him, but in actuality, i don’t hold his opinion as high as he thinks i do. the family dynamics are very complicated but my trust in my parents has been eaten away and chipped off after they lied to me about certain things and breaking promises once too many times.
the reason i’m as frum as i am is because i dont want to be my parents. my father knows i’m frummer than my siblings but he also knows, i gave up trying to influence them. it only causes issues. if he wants to help them, he should do it. i’m going to do what i’m doing for ME only, for my ruchnius and to save my sanity in my messed up family
i use my english name in school because all of my legal documents are under my legal-english name. i use my english name for simplicities sake. if a piece of paper has my hebrew name, i can blame it on a typo. but to have to change all my legal papers to my hebrew name? forget it. i’m not ashamed of my hebrew name, CH”V. some of my non-jewish classmates noticed my email comes up as my hebrew name. so in emails they call me my hebrew name but f2f they use my english name.
the human body was designed so that we can neither pat our selves on the back nor kick ourselves too easily

OMG tamagachis!! i forgot all about those. also Chinese jump rope when we were younger was BIG in my school. i also remember 9/9/99. my english teacher made us write a journal entry or s/t about it.

major mazal tov to my very close friend on getting her BA today!! congrats from the bottom of my heart! hatzlacha in e/t and IY”H you’ll hear back from them soon (wink wink)
MP, thank you for posting. all of your posts show you are a sensitive and exceptional person and this post is a perfect example. your post sums up my feelings exactly! the atmosphere here in the CR for the past few weeks has been one i have not seen in the time I’ve been reading and posting here in the CR. and its not one that will keep posters posting. my impression of AYC is still the same. the void left is large IMO. i always enjoyed his posts and i will miss him/her.
my suggestion? close the CR for a bit so people can take a breather from the CR, look at the whole situation from a step back and then come back free of the negativity.
toomuch00 you stole my idea!!!
when i was in kindergarten i remember photocopies with purple ink. whats the name of that machine?
growing up, my parents never let me or my siblings buy TH. now i read snopes and know not true (supposedly), i can make my own decisions. being that i never needed TH and B”H i find clothing that looks just as great and is my style, why should i go and buy TH just for the symbol? (i dont get the whole label business. i dont own juicy, prada, lacoste etc. i own 1 RL shirt-and its a pajama. do ppl really need to wear clothes with labels to walk in public??? sorry for the rant but designer clothes baffle me)
Pythagorean theorem is A squared + B squared = C squared. its used for right triangles IIRC
example: a right triangle with 3 sides, one side is 3″, one is 4″ and the longest is 5″.
3*3 + 4*4 = 5*5
9+16=25
25=25
(i took geometry a long time ago. this correct? LOL)
GB, where did u see this camera? i’ve been looking for a YEAR to replace mine.
canon. i had the sd450 for 4 years. my dad has a newish gen rebel 15 mp. i like the SD line of canon but the AS line runs a little cheaper than the SD line. SD line is rechargeable Li-on battery and mine lasted 4 years. the AS line uses AA batteries so its a trade off between price and batteries really IMHO. hatzlachoh with finding a camera.
You tell your younger sister “I’ve been making chicken soup longer than you’ve been alive” (I said this Erev shabbos and I felt SSSSSSOOOOOOO old lol)
k i know this has n/t to do w/ the topic but……
e/time i see the thread title i get kinda insulted. i’m in my second year of college and seen/heard lots of stuff (flirty guys, talkative frum men, men with language issues, women who didnt get dressed…).that doesnt mean i am any less frum than when i started college. have i changed? yes i’m not denying that. has college strengthened some areas of yiddishkeit for me? yes it has. yet for some reason the thread title is a slap in the face accusing people who go for higher education that we are not frum enough. can the mods please change the thread name to s/t less accusing? thanx,
sincerely, a sensitive college student
AYC: +1 AND like 🙂
bpt, i dont conform to most social “musts”. for example, i rarely dress as though i am going to a funeral. jewel tones are way more up my ally. and of course its easy! whats easier than being yourself? why waste the brain power to be a faker? its totally not worth it.
42, between this tread and the no longer yeshiva bachur thread I was laughing so hard coffee went up my nose. Thanx for a great laugh 645 in the morn!
skinny or healthy weight? theres a big difference (no pun intended). but whats the point of you question?
BPT, get to work on what exactly????? (foncused look on my face right now)
LOL bpt. i think i’m gonna keep my flats. i just spent about 8 hours on my feet today running literally the entire time. and malanos are not in my student budget. 🙂
2cebts, if u were addressing me, the entire post was sarcastic. Including my physical description. I was saying ppl are putting too much emphasis on the physical.
oh great. now i’m gonna have an even harder time shidduch. not only am i short, have a few pounds to lose, not 19 anymore, likes to wear flats on occasion, i also have hazel eyes. i guess brains dont count anymore. oh well (grand sigh as i go to sulk in the corner) (this post is dripping with sarcasm if you didn’t catch it earlier)
when she ‘grow up’ and reality hits her in the face, how is she going to react? is she going to say oh wow that was childish of me or will she get really depressed when her dreams aren’t actualized. broken dreams can be dangerous. i suggest helping her now even though i cant give you an idea how to break her fantasies. Hatzlacha in what ever you decide what to do
coffee. what else? and a danish if i buy one
any dark chocolate. esp 72% cacao dark chocolate. cuz 2 small pc are really enough. but not hershey’s dark chocolate. too sugary. (PLECH!)
“there are perks to being on hatzalah”
even so, does that mean one can misuse said perks?
AYC!!!! ur back??? we missed you!!! welcome back!!
