Meno- have you experienced one?
Tornadoes are not bad.
Honestly I haven’t. But I thought the general consensus was that they are bad. It seems I may be wrong.
Tomatoes are definitely good.
Are they a fruit or a vegetable?
Why are tornadoes bad? It is merely a very strong wind. Everything G-d does is good you just don’t understand why he did it and what the benefit was. During hurricanes if the wind gust are high there is a chance of a tornado so you might have lived through it especially in NYC without even knowing. Out on the plains you should look for bomb shelter to stay in until it passes.
Meno- tomatoes have seeds like a fruit but their blessing is the same as a vegetable.
So if everything G-d does is good, why would someone want to dye their hair?
… or genetically modify food.
I’ve heard that over the past bunch of years they’ve been genetically modifying tomatoes so that they look nicer, but as a result they don’t taste as good. So tomatoes will never taste as good as they did 20 years ago
As every hair dying girl knows, tornadoes can really mess up a hairdo while tomatoes can really foul things up.
Joseph & Meno- lol. I started laughing when I read some of these posts. It’s good that I’m in a house by myself & not in an office full of people or in the midst of a tornado or in the middle of getting my hair dyed during a tornado.
just for the record, everything Hashem does (which means everything, since everything is from Hashem) is FANTASTIC.
The last conversation was about hardships. Something can be good but hard.
by the way, I just looked it up, and it’s hair dyeing not hair dying. Dying without the e has to do with being dead. But maybe that’s what you meant – that her hair will die if there’s a tornado.
Good one Sparkly – I hadn’t thought of that.
Depends what dye. If you’re a natural light blond, you can dye your hair pink safely and with no increased hair loss.
Sparkly,
Maybe he’s married. Maybe his wife is a natural light blond and she dyes her hair pink.
Maybe he’s a girl?
Sparkly, I had to choose a safe dye to mix into her shampoo.
Meno, they haven’t been genetically modifying tomatoes to look nicer, they’ve been breeding them to get traits that have nothing to do with taste. Mostly, commercial growers want tomatoes that look nice, ship well, and are slow to spoil. Tomatoes are advertised as “firm ripe slicing tomatoes.” I don’t want slicing tomatoes, I want eating tomatoes, so I grow my own. I just picked a whole lot for Shabbos.
To stay on topic, “tomato” is a rather old-fashioned slang term for an attractive girl, and my tomatoes don’t have hair (though the leaves and stems have hairs called trichomes, which I don’t dye).
I read an article about how someone developed tomatoes with
excellent flavor, but supermarket chains declined to carry them
because they didn’t think there would be demand for them.
I heard you can use tomato juice to dye your hair, and it doesn’t cause cancer.
“Comlink-X – how did this thread get into tomatoes from hair dye?”
lol. It seems to have started with this: Joseph: “Tomatoes are definitely good.”
Why do I get blamed for everything? Are the tornadoes here my fault too?
That was a typo, he meant to say tornadoes.
Joseph, was it really a typo? I hadn’t realized that, and you never corrected it. I was wondering why you threw in tomatoes. (waiting for someone to make a pun.)
Yea but lemon juice won’t make your hair red
Lemon juice can turn brown hair red.
I have blonde hair and I want to dye it red. Will tomato juice work?
Really? If she lets I can dye my blonde hair red? Ooh I’m excited
Meno and Joseph,
Your questions are the same as the question the Roman asked Rabbi Akiva about circumcision.
Sparkly – I think it might be assur for a guy so it doesn’t matter if his wife lets him or not.
Aww LU, I was just about to call my wife to ask her. I was so excited…
Sparkly – according to you, your Rabbi also said that you’re allowed to not be shomer negiah which means that what your Rabbi says is meaningless. It also means he is not Orthodox and you should NOT be quoting him on this website. I am really not interested in hearing kefira, so please stop quoting non-Orthodox Rabbis! Thank you!
Meno – apparently as long as you label yourself MO, it’s muttar. So if you really want to be able to dye your hair, you will have to go to the thread where I asked everyone to label themselves, and label yourself as MO and then it will be muttar.
Oh wait, Gofish already ruined it for everyone by saying that if you call yourself MO, you still have to keep Halacha. Oh, well.
You yourself said that your Rabbi tells people they don’t have to be shomer negia. Now you changed it to say that it is the people doing it on their own. You have to be more careful how you present things. If your rabbi really did give permission for that, and you said he did, then it is NOT motzei shem ra to speak against him because he is an apikorus.
Those are very serious comments to make about someone if they did not really say those things. Baruch Hashem you did not mention his name because that would have been terrible motzei shem ra. I am not clear on the other things you listed but I think it would be best if we stop bringing up things that were or were not said by this rabbi.
