minyan gal, aries: There are NUMEROUS unlicensed teachers who could teach a thing or two about dealing with children to the licensed ones.
Corn is not suitable for human consumption anyway. It’s animal fodder.
Not every kid really needs to go to camp a whole summer. I send each child for only as many weeks as I feel they need, not just want. I will not go into debt or leave my babies with a sitter for more hours than I already must to give my kids the luxury of camp. Last summer, I sent two kids for only 2 weeks.
That is my current position on this topic, subject to change at some point.
CORRECTION- I just listened closely:
My Sefer Tehillim
I’ve always held you so near
I’ve turned to you in troubled times
You taught me not to fear.
Your words are engraved upon my heart
Your pages have felt my tears
You helped me express my deepest thoughts
To the Father I hold so dear.
Hot Borsch
For an 8-quart pot:
Saute in a few tbsp oil:
onion or two
bag of cole slaw mix.
Add:
3 whole beets- they’re easier to dice or shred once cooked
3 potatoes
1 small can tomato paste OR large can tomato sauce
bay leaf, parsley flakes, onion and garlic powders, salt, pepper.
Fill with water, and cook 2-3 hours. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or mayonnaise in each bowl and raw garlic cloves.
Can be made with meat or chicken in it.
I remember laughing when my teacher came to school wearing a pony sheitel; it was the first time I saw one, and I thought she was copying us kids.
Yes, it’s on Hallel. This is the chorus:
My Sefer Tehillim
I’ve always held you so dear
I turned to you in troubled times
You taught me not to fear.
Your words are engraved upon my heart
Your pages have felt my tears
You helped me express my deepest thoughts
To my Father Who always hears(?)
I don’t analyze the comments because I know my kids better than the teachers do.
So long as you are sensitive to the needs of your husband and children, it can be a wonderful thing to do.
When I did my MS, I prioritized my life: home, work, school.
I didn’t like giving in reports that didn’t reflect my abilities, but I feared I would have greater regret later if I switched my priorities around.
Mazel Tov, SJS! Wow, a change of colors in the laundry!
Always runs…:
You forgot some important ones: you can’t breathe, you have heartburn after eating one piece of bread, itchy stomach, kvetchy back and legs and veins from lugging a watermelon around, etc.
Besides hormones, all these physical ouches can make you irritable, too! 🙁
B’sha’ah tova! 🙂
This post box looks like an ad blank…and I can submit it for free!
In honor of all the moderators, especially 80.
Your intelligence, humor, and firm principles make the CR a wonderful distraction.
Thank you and best wishes.
Popa: BCE.
I once received too little change at a grocery store. I told the cashier and requested the dollar difference. Another cashier, who was shmoozing with her, told her (right in front of me), “She’s lying. She sneaked the dollar into her pocket. Don’t give it to her.” I protested, but I couldn’t even prove her wrong because I did have another dollar in my pocket.
In the end, the first cashier gave me the dollar, but I felt horrible.
Proper etiquette in 2011 is for women to hold the door for men. And to offer seats to them on crowded subways.
Hey, men are our employees and dependent on us for their promotions.
How do you, as the parent, explain it to yourself?
Women! Don’t you treat everyone with respect? Certainly this guy you’re dating who may become your husband deserves some respect.
So hold the door for him!
You didn’t start studying because it is your least favorite activity on your to-do list.
Is this for shidduchim? Like, now that I’m a size 2, I need to tackle the next obstacle?
A beautiful girl in my class got one. We all requested that she save her old one for our nose job.
Ok, got it, thanks Mod 80. I really like it.
Where’s sammygol? He used to balance out those articles.
Goq: I’m sorry that you’re in this painful situation of being the only one who’s not invited 🙁
Since you are in this situation, you are expected to figure out a mature way of handling it.
Sorry for being unclear.
What’s the greatness of the Jews’ demonstrating their desire to separate from Mitzriyim at the time of Mitzriyim’s punishment?
Their desire to remain separate was shown before makos, so what is the significance of these acts during the last maka?
Also, unlike Jews in Mitzrayim, Lot’s wife wasn’t persecuted in Sdom; her memories of Sdom were more pleasant than Jews’ memories of Mitzrayim.
Yasher koach, Mod 80. What was the difficulty in separating ourselves from Mitzriyim by the time 10th maka came?
“but I do know that being short can definitely affect one’s self confidence.”
I think personality affects one’s self-confidence.
If you have self-confidence, height is irrelevant.
If you don’t, height is also irrelevant.
Your lack of self-confidence will be brought out by something else.
Just because she was devastated by the news initially, doesn’t mean she can’t come to terms with it and be happy with her lot.
I think we need to acknowledge each nation for what it is, not disillusion ourselves with some politically correct but totally false notion that all peoples have the same essence.
What’s dignified?
It means if you dig, you will find.
They are one type of doctor that actually make you feel better!
Zees:
1. allergy season- no sense of smell
2. diapers of nursing babies don’t smell much
Since this is Popa’s thread, and since it seems to be a catch-all, I would like to publicly thank him and one of the mods for reminding me to change my baby’s diaper.
That subtitle says it all.
Isn’t Moshiach supposed to be from a “Kupah shel shrotzim” (or something like that)?
I don’t know if this is brought down in a sefer, but R’ Kirzner Z”L discusses it in his Golus tape.
If someone doesn’t value something that he has, and it is taken away from him, he will value that object more and want it back.
Hashem put this law into our nature and thus conducts Himself with us according to it.
When we didn’t value spirituality, we were exiled/ Hester Ponim, so that we should once again recognize its value and beg for it.
When we regain our appreciation for what we once had, and show Hashem that we want it back wholeheartedly, He will rebuild the Beis Hamikdosh (bimheira biyomeinu, amen. <end speech>)
ICOT- Thanks!
We’ve moved several times, and your tips are GOOD!
Label all sides of boxes and keep the boxes for each room together during loading/unloading process- makes finding things easier.
If you’re currently renting, remember to come back after the move and clean up (or do it the night before- move all furniture). It’s mentschlich, and you might be surprised how much stuff you left behind.
We used Conrad (McDonald Ave & M/N) and were very pleased with the service. We paid $1700 for 2 formica counters, 5 door bottom cabinets, 3 door top cabinets.
Such a mechaye to work in a kitchen I really like!
Hatzlocha!
canine: It’s ok, I didn’t ask you. Though I’m impressed with your saying IDK; it shows humility.
popa- ha ha ha!
Heard it now?
I come for humor and adult conversation when my husband is not home to provide it.
So not my thread.
Sticky, did you really take an entire semester online? Where was that, Cordoza?
Sac- Thanks for that magnanimous gesture.
What’s pshat popa’s name is up and posts are not?
I feel very deprived as I come here mainly for the laughs!
They’ll have more lawsuits than it’s worth.
Choc, my oldest had four cavities when she was 5 years old, and I increased her calcium/D intake. Six years and one cavity later, we still aim for 100% RDA calcium daily.
Grandma told me that peanuts, sugarless gum, and cheese have cleansing properties.
MDG, it’s not L”H; it’s Motzi Shem Ra.
MDG- I didn’t think an FFB with an IQ of 175 would be insulted.
(Or was that her LSAT score?)
Sufficient calcium intake is crucial for building Whole teeth.
One cup of milk or yogurt does not suffice.
Speak to pediatrician.
On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best…
Trak, you were smart to bring sources, I see you know your audience.
Sac- so uneducated
seeing that my flaws are hereditary
