I DISAGREE
the proof is in the pudding- i managed to stick my comment in a post.
RULE: your post does not have to be a juicy goss filled one. Just stick in your comment the way you would in our decrepit kitchen.
Its too annoying to scroll back pages to check out every post and follow up on all the comments. I never notice when a huge convo is going on six posts back.
you cant invent that this is the reason the blog is dying!! you must do a real study to ck out all the possible variables!!
maybe its bec ppl like dlg lemoshol have come home and are now stuck in 883 with only the cabiniet for internet!!!!

against the new layout
Rish, why did i go through the neb machine???
Everybody: I think this new layout is not working out. Our blog majorly died down since we set it up like this. Our family needs to be able to stick their comments into everybody elses.
What do you say??

Study: Having a Sister Improves Mental Health
The bond between siblings, particularly sisters, is a powerful thing capable of defending against depression.
Researchers from Brigham Young University found that loving sibling relationships have lasting positive effects on children's behavior and mental health, USA Today reports.
Laura Padilla-Walker, assistant professor in BYU's School of Family Life, told USA Today that this closeness encourages traits like kindness and generosity and helps protect against wrongdoing and depression.
"Siblings are people that a child lives with every day and yet we haven't really seriously considered their influence," James Harper, another professor in the School of Family Life, told USA Today.
Dr. Daniel Carlat, AOL Health's mental health expert, said that psychiatry has realized for a long time that siblings have lasting and significant effects on mental health, often more so than parents or outside friendships.
"It has always been clear that our close friends shape our identities as we grow up," he told AOL Health. "Siblings are, in a sense, our very closest friends if only because we are around them all the time."
In 2007 and 2008, Padilla-Walker and the BYU team followed nearly 400 Seattle families who had two or more children, with at least one child between the ages of 10 and 14.
Their findings suggested that having a sister is more valuable than having a brother, as sisters prevent teens "from feeling lonely, unloved, guilty, self-conscious and fearful," the researchers wrote in the study available in the Journal of Family Psychology.
Padilla-Walker told USA Today that this could be because girls tend to take on caregiver roles and communicate their problems more openly.
Carlat said that in general relationships between sisters tend to be more mutual.
"Sisters will reciprocally reach out to one another, whereas sister-brother relationships tend to lack that balance, with brothers being less communicative, and less likely to respond to efforts to reach out," he told AOL Health.
Only children aren't left high and dry though, as Carlat said having no siblings doesn't necessarily pose negative effects.
"In fact, some studies have shown that only children have higher self esteem, which may be because they don't have to deal with sibling rivalry, and because they are made to feel special by their parents," he told AOL Health.
The study results also showed that parental influences don't impact children's actions as much as siblings do, as brothers and sisters have twice as much power to persuade kids to show kindness by volunteering, doing favors for others and being nice to people.
In general the positive effects held true no matter the children's age, gender or the birth gap between siblings.
But hostile sibling relationships may promote negative behavior, as siblings who often fight are more likely to experience aggression in other relationships, Harper told USA Today.
He said that parents need to nurture and encourage peaceful sibling relationships.
Carlat told AOL Health that when siblings fight, they can do real emotional damage to one another.
"It is important for parents to realize this, and to not simply take sibling rivalry for granted," he said. "If your kids are fighting with one another, resist the temptation to ignore it."

Children of Israel.....
Cast your votes!!
Children of Israel.....
Cast your votes!!
PLEASE NOTE: Important changes to our blog!
As per my hora'as, a few changes have been made to the blog by the Minahelet Chayale.
1) You will no longer receive annoying emails each time there is a post or comment. This means you must make sure to check the blog at every chance you can.
2) There are no more comments on the blog, bec it gets too complicated to start checking a post from 5 days ago for new commments. Any comment you deem worthy of making should be a post itself. Benny's fam does it like this and its much easier.
Please vote pro or against these changes.
Thank you
The Wannabe Hanhallah

shneurgopin@gmail.com
ATTENTION ADMINISTRATION of the BLOG:
I am right now on the phone with Shnaz, live from Venus. (Venice.) He called from a 0001234 number, very eager to join on. His invite to the blog expired and therefore he cannot contribute. Chayale or Rishe, he needs to be re invited. He is on a computer in Hebrew telling me that it says he needs to contact "Rishe, Haminahelet shel HaBlog levakesh hazmanah chadasha." How do you like that?

We are currently marinating in the Hurwitz family RV while we hurtle toward nowhere.like literally. We don't have a P.O.A. were headed to new jersey, so I'm assuming that one of the very meticulously organized and responsible Hurwitz parents have some vague idea of where were heading. Then again, I could always be wrong. You never know with a Hurwitz....:)
