The Real World

I've been looking into buying a car. So far, I've only dealt with frum dealers and private sellers. This morning, I drove 40 minutes each way to look at car being sold by a dealer. It was advertised for $2,000, and looked like it was a great deal. We looked at it, drove it, and were ready to buy it.

When we sat down with the guy, he asked us if we noticed the fine print. It said something about a down payment of $2750. In reality, all the cars that they sell start at $2750. The advertised price is on top of that. Real suave, no?

I think I'll stick with people I can trust.

All Types

It takes all kinds of people to make up a world. There are the teachers, the secretaries, the doctors, the lawyers, etc. But one thing that every Jewish person has is that little bit of shadchan in them.

It takes all kinds of shadchanim to marry people off. There are the pushy ones, the laid back ones, the money-hungry ones, and the mitzvah kind. What they all need to remember is that even though it looks like they're the ones doing the work, there' s Someone else pulling the strings. If it's supposed to go through, it will. But only at the right time.

Marriage

Marriage...that elusive thing that makes two people into one.

How long until I will find my other half?

I wish I had a glass ball, so that I can see how long I will have to wait.

On second thought, maybe the anticipation is better this way.
