not "branding" your children, fanatic?

I really thought this was going to be from a mother who sent her children to some school or camp, and they came home with a more strict view on observance. I read it as "Not branding your children fanatic".

It's about....clothing.

And btw, I was certain this was a troll's work!! LOL

"Shells in Far Rockaway"

Well, Far Rockaway is surrounded by water so it shouldn't be too hard to find shells. Just go to the beach.

has anyone cut a shaitel by Miming?

While truly talented mimes look incredibly realistic, it's nevertheless impossible to cut a shaitel by miming. For that you need real scissors.

"Jew of Color, converts or FFB?"

I immediately thought of two situations in which a person could be a JoC, FFB, and a convert.

Or a JoC, but neither a convert nor FFB.

Is something wrong with giving peanuts?

Unless you really can't afford it, you should give at least $36 as a wedding gift. Certainly under $18 would be considered peanuts, and it might be better to buy something simple rather than give such a small amount.

"How to make a poof with my band fall".

I have no idea how to do it or why you'd want to, but it did occur to me that unless the reader is frum, although that phrase is written in English, they'd have absolutely no idea what it meant Smile

.

I.e. You have a band? Is it falling? Is it a marching band? An alt rock band? What's the deal with the band going poof and then falling? Do all rock bands fall? Do all marching bands poof up? Does it only happen in the fall?

You get my drift. I guess we really do have our own vernacular these days, even if it isn't Yiddish anymore.

"not "branding" your children, fanatic?"

I would say that branding your children is fanatical -- branding is for cattle! Is this some new cult? Face-covering child-branding Jews?

"What can I make with broken Lasagna bits?"

Broken lasagna?

"What can I make with broken Lasagna bits?"

Lots of teeny tiny lasagnas?

I think the Venn diagram needs to be modified; there is no intersection between FFB and Convert.

A person could be converted as a baby and raised as a frum Jew, or born and raised Jewish but also asked to do a giur l'chumra. Technically the former isn't frum from birth, but it meets the standard use of "FFB."

Going Out With a Newborn

I know some circles advocate for marriage as young as possible, but THIS is ridiculous!

"Trichotillomania in a 7 month old"

It took me about 10 minutes to get the word out with the letters in the correct order...no idea if I pronounced it correctly either.

What on EARTH is this illness/problem???
