I’m sorry to hear that.

SAME! (Well not same if it actually effed up your heart as opposed to like heartbreak, that sucks!) When I found out I had Scarlet Fever (I remember complaining that even my EYELIDS were hot), I FREAKED out and started yelling about not burning my toys, and my mom was super confused and said “we just have to give you…

Well we aren’t going to agree on lots of stuff, but I just wanted to say that when I was talking about attacking people’s religion I meant those who observe relatively strictly, not all of Judaism and if you consider yourself Jewish, I do too. I don’t put an observance or belief litmus test on anyone.

Well, actually a lot of things are stopping your hypothetical, but I am assuming you aren’t looking for a discourse on the laws of eruv. The confusion comes from a conflation of how we use “private space” in colloquial conversation and what it means in Jewish law, which is a set of criteria that most cities (Manhattan…

These aren’t legal fictions, they are actual tools that are consistent with the actual legal framework of Judaism.

I see you’ve been scolded for this “I choose to believe a stereotype because it amuses me” below, so I’m editing to abate the pile-on a bit.

Or, you know, you could give it a chance since this show is very different from Gilmore Girls and Bunheads, and you might actually like it (even if it has a female lead...)

? I have no doubt he was being honest, but I also think that’s a messed up view of the world: that your partner’s success is somehow competition with you? I also think that he meant nice as “doesn’t call me on my bullshit or otherwise disagree with me” which, fine, if it works for her, but generally I don’t think that…

I guess it’s POSSIBLE. Or, these types of guys are sadly a dime-a-dozen. (I’m happily married to a guy who is all about being a power couple and splitting household work, so you know frogs before princes?)

I think so! Which is odd, since literally the first two things he knew about me (before HE asked ME out) was that I was in prestigious grad school doing prestigious internship. I think dating me made him realize he wanted a house wife?

I came pretty close, when I told an Ex “you are going to be so bored with whoever you end up with”

Yes, because what if they paid money and it wasn’t loaded?

Is it really that hard to go to a party without alcohol? This is a serious question, since it would never occur to me to bring alcohol to a party I knew was designed not to have it (BYOB or bringing a bottle of wine to a house party where you don’t know one way or the other is a different story).

I mean, what did you say? In the first scenario, I would say “I go to Minyan Tehilah” and if asked to explain more, I probably would say something like “that’s where I feel most comfortable, but I don’t begrudge other people’s choices in either direction.” If she is not going to be interested in dating anyone who…

I wish you wouldn’t use the word “admit” for depression. It perpetuates the idea that it’s something to be ashamed of.

I tried to leave the house once as a young child “dressed like a snowman” I was, in fact, only wearing long underwear, like the top and the bottom. I am glad “but I am a snowman” was not considered a winning argument

Thanks!!

Un-greys, not ingress. oops!

Thank you!
