40 hungry men who haven't eaten breakfast yet descending on a single box of dainishes . . . Nope.

Spoken like a true non-bchor

I read that as bochur, not b'chor, at first. True either way though.

My grouchiness. It’s erev Pesach, and these weak sauce Grouches are all that y’all can come up with? Is life too smooth to let it go out here???

How’s about pre-Chag traffic- with drivers who seem to have just met the road, plus walkers who act as if they’ve never walked on a flipping street with cars.

And how lovely it is to navigate said streets with the nervous wreck of a Rebbetzin sitting in the passenger seat, freaking out at every lane switch.

Wait, wait, wait

You have time to drive?

With the Rebbetzin?!?!?!

No one is cleaning, or cooking, or chasing toddlers who stole a cracker and are now headed straight for the kashered kitchen sink?
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The yetzarim a person has the most trouble dealing with are his most powerful God-given tools for developing his potential and achieving shleimus.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.

Please feel free to reach out. I'd appreciate connecting with you (via GYE, email, or phone - whatever floats your boat)

It’s not even Erev Pesach yet, and we’re all already starving.

Question for a competent Rav: 

Is it permissible for one to make a bracha and eat אכילת ערעי (banana, yogurt and lady fingers) while locked in the bathroom? The בית הכסא is currently the only מקום מנוחה in the entire house, as we’ve opted to stay home today with the משפחה and, well….

While driving to some trip the other day, my wife was freaking out over my driving- “you’re getting too close!!” “The other driver is coming into our lane!!!” You know. Classics. 
She that just because she has  trauma from past accidents (granted, the last one was actually me behind the wheel), she can get nervous and take it out on me, since I’m not being “careful enough”.

Is it weird or creepy to tell a woman in the grocery store, “I love love love your sheitel (truly), but the color really clashes with your tefach and a half. Maybe dye your hair to match it?”
