    Yes, I own a TV. If you feel the need to look down your nose at me for that, than so be it. I feel no shame in owning a TV.

    I own a coffee maker too. What do you think that means?

    chesed-yes its human to talk to a co worker but they do this for i would guess an hour and a half to two hours a day, they huddle together at one of their desks and have long drawn out ocnversations,

    “They think the men get paid more cause they need it.. No fair!”

    where i work (a yeshiva) the same goes for married people as opposed to single people

    Sid Luckman qb of the chicago Bears in the 40s broke all kinds of records, in baseball i guess i’d have to say Hank Greenberg, or maybe Rod Carew :), and in Olympic sports it would have to be Mark Spit.

    I regret waiting so many years before going into therapy the four,five years i spent going to therapy changed my life in a very positive way i didn’t do it earlier because of the stigma, my therapist who is frum, made me believe in myself when no one else did, and although i haven’t been in a couple years what i learned stays with me and i will forever be grateful for his help.

    she said she knew one of them from hs not all, and so what if they did go to a coed hs? are you going to denigrate them for their upbringing or for not being as frum as you? (not that you have any idea how frum they are) and you call them characters they are talented enthusiastic young men whats wrong with that?

    Being an older single, one of the things that grates me greatly is the assumption that you cant have a meaningful complete life unless you are married this is complete folly, i enjoy my life to the fullest would it be more complete if i had a spouse? probably but there is much life to be lived still, we shouldnt be made to feel incomplete, so please dont tsk tsk at my life dont say ahh nebach please save your pity for someone who truly needs it.
