    happiest, where do you live exactly? maybe if ur in a place where its normal that most ppl are married by 20/21, then you feel a pressure. if ur 22, you shouldn’t! where i come from, its not unusual to find girls who are 22 and still not married, but loving life! i mean, of course they have a strong desire to get married, and they are looking, but where i come from, there is no pressure! i was recently talking to a friend of mine from seminary and she told me that six of her hs friends just got engaged within the past two weeks, and now she’s feeling so pressured- gosh, she’s not even 20 yet! this is what the world has come to- not married before 22, so ur an old maid??????? NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO! we can’t let that be the mentality.

    also, i recently read an article about a girl who was also looking to get married, so on purim, she and her mother left in the middle of the seuda, went to a different room, and they decided this yr they are just not taking no for an answer. They davened very hard, the next yr, this girls chosson was at their purim seuda! well on purim there is an extra power to tefilla, but who says you cant do this any day. just decide that now you will not take no for an answer.

    just in case you feel just sitting and saying tehillim, ur tefillos may become dry, here’s a suggestion- get an ipod or cd player with all ur favorite chuppa tunes/slow wedding songs that you want played at ur wedding, or just songs that u know make you a little emotional, and listen to it while saying the tehillim.

    hatzlacha! may we hear good news very soon! don’t take no for an answer!

    helping yisroel, i’m in west rogers.

    cjp- chicago is very established in the frum world (established enuf at least to have our own section in the yated’s “across the fruited plains” lol)

    no one should look down on you for who you date. it is none of their business (unless they know of a potential problem that would be reason to consider breaking off, but even then you gotta be careful). it is you building a home with ur spouse, not anyone else.

    gotta go to bed. i’m tired. more tomorrow IY”H.

    in reply to: do 'mazinka' dance or not? #753096

    why don’t you ask your rav? it sounds like you would need the guidance of a higher authority, rather than a bunch of ppl who will all give you different answers based on their (humble) opinions.

    did i say l”h. if i did, i didn’t realize it. tell me what i said. i wanna know.

    in reply to: Just one question #865631

    whoa, whoa, whoa! stop right there! ya know there are ppl on this site from chicago (i’m one of them and i’m proud of it!). lets back track. first of all: if you live out of chicago, then chicago is out of town. just like to us here in chicago NY is out of town- believe it or not! to us NY is out of town! (sorry, are you feeling a little put down? didn’t mean to cause you NYers any undue shame)

    second of all, with this nerdy bit- watch what you say. hilchos lashon hara- even if its a joke, and even if its not about a specific person, but rather a group of ppl, its lashon hara.

    i would like to say that FL613 is right (thank you, FL!) chicagoans are very warm and friendly ppl full of chesed at all times. we are open minded, welcoming ppl with a true love of torah, and as a side point we’re not (for the most part- i cant say this about every single person, but u’ll find it anywhere) we are NOT pressured to be like everyone else. there is less competition to try to be better than the next person and there is less of needing every new stupid thing that comes out. like i said, it’s not everyone, but most. I LOVE CHICAGO! my friends from OOT know that i never stop talking about how much i love chicago. its a really nice place! if you haven’t been here yet, you gotta come!

    get that alarm clock that runs around the room singing- it’s annoying and it doesn’t stop until you chase after it and turn it off!!!!!!!

    in reply to: Which Singer Would You Choose To Sing At Your Wedding? #743783

    i’m with onegoal – shwekey all the way!!!

    dovid stein comes in second.

    but i doubt my budget will handle either one.

    in reply to: Show off your talents! #1005467

    i LOVE to sing. and i don’t know if this is considered talent, but i have friends who would get really nervous b4 tests and reports- and i really mean nervous, like shaking and starting to cry (in 12th grade) and if i would be helping them, they would keep telling me, it’s sssssssoooooooo good how you remain so calm…

    truth is, they made me more nervous than the actual test!

    c’mon, try studying with someone who keeps looking at the clock and saying “oh no! six hours until you hafta leave! how are we gonna finish?!”

    in reply to: Creative Ideas Needed #738702

    how about a bake sale or something? or actually, one school where i live does a rummage sale- bring everything you can find from anywhere in ur house, anything that is not used that may be a treasure for someone else. sell the things for cheap, and more ppl will come buy.

    in reply to: short sleeves over long sleeves #738350

    yenting, i think words across the chest is different. it attracts attn to an area of the body that is not appropriate for attention to be placed on. but i don’t think short sleeves over long attracts attn.

    when you go out, (or, when i do, anyway) i don’t notice who is wearing short sleeves over long, but i sure notice the words in strange places!

    600kb, that’s a good one! i think i’ll go buy one right now!

    in reply to: baby sitting #739399

    i didn’t say ur furious, just have the wrong attitude. ur right that no one has the right to make u feel guilty about not babysitting. of course- ppl shouldn’t “rely” on you, to the point where if you can’t come (which not all of the time will you be able to) they should make you feel the way you do.

    one thing i do agree with is that if someone is looking for a babysitter for an event that they know is coming up, book in advance, ppl don’t like to be called last minute. that i’ll give you.

    it was more the “not coming into the house unexpected” that struck me as too much.

    you said it brisker!

    ~{]*YC*[}~

    in reply to: baby sitting #739394

    gosh,health is right about the ME generation. what’s with, rezdy (and others who feel the same)? if you don’t wanna babysit, no one is forcing you. i don’t mean to sound rude, but sounds like you have the wrong attitude. if you are going “just for the money” then DON’T GO! (i’m sure)ppl don’t appreciate babysitters who come just for the money, they would rather give the money to someone who is willing (happily)to babysit, and will enjoy their home. i happen to love babysitting, and in the summers i’ve babysat for hours (the most being thirteen hours straight at one family!), but they keep taking me back because they know that i love the kids, i’m patient…(that was not said to sound boastful, btw)the kids love me…. and that i like to be at their house. i doubt they would pay someone who had such complaints as you (because more often than not, i think even if the babysitter is trying to look nice and happy…, you could tell what’s going on inside)

    and second, i agree with everyone, that you are not doing them a favor (especially with the attitude). they are paying you. if anything, its equal.

    and, why would you do something that you would not want someone to see anyway? when i babysit, i keep in mind, it’s their home, they can come in and out as they want. how do you know if someone didn’t forget something at home, or they need something they didn’t realize they would, or something came up suddenly… you don’t know what’s going on in their lives, and they have no achrayus to call you when they walk into THEIR OWN HOUSE!

    how will you feel when you IY”H have kids, and when they are at home with a babysitter, you have to call every time you are gonna walk in the door. ur asking permission, in essence, to come into ur own home. at least, that’s the way i see it.

    it’s all about attitude. the attitude that it’s not all about you.

    i can’t take credit it was yz’s idea. but thanx!

    in reply to: cell phones #737500

    i agree with onegoal. but for the second situation (because the child may be young,) set certain terms/rules. actually its prob not a bad idea for any teenager who justs wants one but really doesn’t NEED it.

    ~{]*YC*[}~

    in reply to: Maaser/Tzedakah #1031402

    smile, maybe ask a rav or teacher. i know that there is a long ramban in mishpatim (i think) about tzedaka. i remember learning it in like 10th or 11th grade. it lists the different ways to give tzedaka, and who comes first when giving, and whether its better to give a lot to one person or a little to many….

    in reply to: Kosher Subway #738575

    real brisker is right. it may not be wrong according to the actual halacha- its more if the idea is wrong, as in sensitivities.

    (i only read rb’s post, so i might have missed the whole pt, but i think i got it right- and if i’m not then just fuggedaboutit)

    in reply to: My New Subtitle #993234

    i still didn’t get one?????????????? should i ask really really nicely? PRETTY PLEASE WITH SPRINKLES ON TOP!!!!!!!!

    how about this: ywn is the best website in the whole wide world and i’m sure everyone agrees, and i love this website and i hope to use it to find out what’s going on in the world ad bias goel hamashiach…. and thanks mods (ESPECIALLY 88) who are always so on top of everything….

    now can i have one?:)

    in reply to: What�you looking for? #741318

    sac, i feel the same exact way my fam and i are the same way! and B”H i don’t have low self esteem but i need and like to really feel loved and cared for in a sweet way

    in reply to: Kosher Subway #738486

    i agree here with real brisker and derech hamelech (although i can’t say its the MOST despicable, but i hear what they are saying)! why couldn’t the owner think up some other name rather than subway? it just doesn’t seem right that we need to name a place just like the goyim in order to attract attention and sound cute. i think its totally wrong. now, i don’t consider eating a fake cheeseburger as an aveira, altho i wouldn’t do it myself, i have nothing against anyone who does- you make the decisions in ur life, i make the decisions in mine, i would just feel like its a total deviation of the pasuk kedoshim t’hiyu- the point is we are NOT supposed to act like the goyim.

    and, mikehall, come on! you know what he meant. there is nothing wrong with chocolate or coffee or whatever it was. the issue with cheeseburgers is that we are specifically told not to eat milk and meat together. to do so even with fake cheese just looks wrong IMHO.

    real brisker and DhM- I’M ROOTIN’ FOR YA!

    what does every BY girl do after sem? I TEACH!

    (gee, i hope this doesn’t give away my identity!)

    in reply to: Bad Vibes #737059

    i agree with what aries is saying. hands down. i think its just so wrong.

    in reply to: My New Subtitle #993193

    i want one too! but i had to trudge out into the snow to go shopping for shabbos! sister bear, we can have our own club- “subtitleless club”

    in reply to: What�you looking for? #741281

    yeah, i’m sweet cookie, but i changed my name, this is my new one. anyway, sac, please see my post above, which has my old username.

    in reply to: New And Returning Members! #856285
