We basically set up a kosher kitchen using our registries. People who wanted to get us a physical gift had plenty to choose from, and if people gave us checks instead, that's fine. Older people mostly gave us stuff and our generation gave checks.

I hate my body sometimes. For some reason, my body overreacts or reacts really strongly to certain things. For example, I can have a lot of pain from a UTI when I barely test positive for having one. I started having symptoms of one a few days ago, while away with my husband. It gets a lot better if I drink a ton…
Do you really need a dining room set immediately? Personally, I'd be fine on the couch with a coffee table. Are you going to be inviting people over really quickly? If you're living alone you don't need comfy seats for 6 (couch + love seat) and could get by with one or the other until you have more cash. The same…
Unless you're a kosher-keeping Jew. I've only ever had chicken.
Chicken schnitzel does exist. I had it almost every week at Shabbat dinners on my campus.
I happily watched Twister when it was on last night.
My husband took the Bar last year and what he kept saying to calm himself and his friends was, "Think of the dumbest lawyer you can. If that person can pass the Bar, so can you." I'm not a lawyer so I have no real advice beyond that.
My mom moved out of the country a few years ago and I haven't seen her or my half-sister since. I got married six months ago today, but was engaged about three years ago. I sent my mom an email to tell her and got a two line response. When I told her two years in advance about the wedding date to give her ample…
In my first case someone stole Hudson Bay. I'm so confused, but I caught him and returned the loot.
She's essentially been typecast as a YA fantasy/fiction writer. I haven't read her non-HP books, but it seems that people were disappointed by them partially because they're so different from HP. If that's the case, it makes sense for her to write under a different name. Getting away from being typecast can't be…
The hit results were an issue when I was told I needed a certain number of peer reviewed articles as sources. It's sort of akin to getting 10 results on google without misspelling anything.
"Playing by Heart" is an ensemble movie with a ridiculous cast. I think it would qualify as feminist-friendly as the women are pretty strong characters, but it's a rom-com where most of the talk focuses on relationships. I'm also not sure if it's on Netflix instant and I haven't seen it in a while and now want to…
I had a lot of motivation issues. I ended up having to write a paper that would provide background knowledge to people researching this topic in the future. I managed to get zero hit results in academic journals with multiple term variations. It was constantly frustrating.
My Masters thesis was also very personal. I wrote about supporting students who have a sibling with disabilities in the classroom. My older brother had severe disabilities and I often felt as though I had no support, at school or at home. When I decided on my topic I told my adviser that I would either be very into…
I suggested earplugs because I'm not a headphone wearer. Over the ear ones press my glasses into the side of my face and ear buds hurt me after 20 minutes or so.
Would earplugs help or do you specifically want to hear music?
Unsubscribe from all the ads from the knot. That site perpetuates the idea that everyone needs a giant wedding and it must be just so or your day will be ruined and all your friends will hate you forever.
That's sort of how I felt about it. You just expressed it better than I did.
I didn't start going to it until a few years ago. We lack a/c so when I can borrow my dad's car I go there repeatedly in the summer.
