But I am of the opinion that if a girl like Brachy/Ruchy buys into the corrupt view that she is only as good as her life savings, so not even God can help her. <br /><br />We ourselves should have an individualistic rather than communal view of shidduchim, that I will not place my faith in a mortal rather than divine matchmaker. <br /><br />Those who want to do without God's help can line up at the auction block.Troinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538026753449287703.post-20144777999118145842010-02-15T21:22:22.244+02:002010-02-15T21:22:22.244+02:00This was great.

On a similar theme I wrote about paying for the son-in-law by selling a kidney "Torah Sage Advises: Hold Onto Both Your Kidneys." http://frumfollies.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/keepthekidney/<br /><br />I also wrote about my proposed REBS RATE to solve the "shidduch crisis."<br /><br />http://frumfollies.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/using-the-rebs-rate-to-solve-the-shidduch-crisis/<br /><br />Keep up the writing. I think the next step should be a cartel fixing the prices to push them ever higher. Perhaps a futures market with speculative investing. <br />Thia could include folks buying short and then spreading rumors to destroy the value of particular bochurim. Perhaps a response by a cartel of bais yaacov schools. Bookmakers could start taking bets.Yerachmiel Lopinhttp://frumfollies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538026753449287703.post-24131516439957227202010-02-15T08:53:13.987+02:002010-02-15T08:53:13.987+02:00hey, been reading for a little while, enjoy your t...hey, been reading for a little while, enjoy your take on life, never commented. this one though deserves a standing ovation.
