After all, they're married, while you're still single, so obviously you're a screw up/lazy/picky/gay and you need them to direct you. <br /><br />I love the "2x years old, when do you think you'll ready to get married? You know, you're not getting any younger" comments the best. Thank you, friend I haven't spoken to in a long time. Now I know remember why I don't talk to you anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-26818585066442479412011-09-07T00:45:31.307-04:002011-09-07T00:45:31.307-04:00I lol'd at iy'h as a verb:)I lol'd at iy'h as a verb:)guyinlanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-22951274991468916222011-09-06T09:42:09.081-04:002011-09-06T09:42:09.081-04:00SiBaW: Nothing?

It's a bracha - what can be bad? This is the FIRST time I heard something that helps me get it. If you wouldn't say it to a childless couple, don't say it to a single. You're so right.
