ICOT –

I thought “toe” the line means get as close as you can to the edge (as in “line drawn in the sand” which you are dared to cross) without going over the line. Thats why its called “toe” as in placing your toes right on the line.

As far as grammar in general, that’s the price I pay for being from Brooklyn. Sorry!

“There’s nothing to add or comment about”

WHAAT!!?? Not even a single dissenting opinion? Not one return volley of defense?

If I wanted to have my back patted, I’ll reach over and do it myself!

Just kidding folks. I really respect the seriousness with which the “need help with tzinus” thread was approached, so I did my best to write a decent response, and the flight was the ideal time to do so. (Besides, who wants to watch a 2 hour cartoon anyways?)
