I would have to give a lot to taxes and then I would give maaser to Yeshivos and my sisters who are living on a kollel budget and then I would use the rest to support my family so that my husband (whoever he might be) will be able to learn without any worry of parnasah.
25: ok, deal!
39: i give actual money away pretty often buddy! good to see you back btw!
moderators, you are mods not bloggers!!!!!!
ok

86 (wherever you are)
99 (yes, you too chief)
(did I miss anyone)
pay attention
yros has spoken, we are moderators and not bloggers!
I say we leave not one post of yros unmoderated
– edit
– delete
– comment within
just do not leave it unmoderated! we are, afterall, moderators!
YW-Moderator-72
note to yros: the mods used to be one of us! then they got upgraded to Moderator statuses!
hey you took out my last comment on this thread, mod. (i know it was 72 – who else could it have been??)
jax: stop playing games with me. Mods, I didn’t mean that you shouldn’t let any of my posts unmoderated, I mean’t that you are here to moderate and not to blog.
let me check the handbook. hmmm, ok here it is:
section yud-gimel – blogging while moderating: moderators may blog while moderating in one of two ways 1) commenting under their moderator screen name, or 2) inserting a comment within the comment of a submission by a non-moderator.
so… I guess we are allowed to afterall. :o)
YW Moderator-72
ha is there really a handbook? this isn’t the first time you have quoted it. if it exists 😉
yros: sorry, but i’m not playing games with you! it’s a known fact around here that the mods used to all be members! they even use their real member sn from time to time, although us members don’t know which sn are actually a mod’s in reality! and come on the mods need a break from time to time from modding, to have fun & blog with us!
jax or mods: are they allowed to tell us if they want?
1) how would Jax know?
2) do I need to quote the section and subsection from the handbook or does it suffice to write, the short answer of NO?
an open book: a mod signs an oath of silence, never to tell you anything about his member sn!
mod: ha ha yeah how would i know??!!
AOB: did it ever dawn on you, that i might be a mod?!
when i ask questions in a post to mods directly, they are ignored anyway.
thanks for answering!
jax: no, i don’t think you’re a mod. for one thing you spend too much time on as jax, you wouldn’t use it as often if you were on as a mod! (but its not impossible…)
an open book: maybe i use 2 computers at once! one as jax and one to mod!?!?
AOB, unless hes the missing 86…
jax: if you did, you wouldn’t be suggesting this!
kapusta: yeah maybe 😉
the results are in: keep imagining…
now that I know that I am allowed to blog, despite yros’s assumption that I’m not, I can tell you that I do have another sn which I still use occassionaly. Don’t bother guessing because 72 said I am not allowed to reveal it and he outranks me. I wouldn’t want to face the modding disciplinary board. 🙂
now can someone please win the lottery and share the proceeds with the mods so we can get this thread back on topic? 🙂
’25. we gotta wait for the next turn around.
btw, did anyone buy tickets?
mega millions is up to 155 million for the next round. If I win, free coffee for all mods for a year! 🙂
Charlie: if you can figure out who they are, that is!
mepal,
true, but for a year’s worth of 2% milk no sugar coffee, I think someone may be willing to talk. 🙂
That’s the trigger. Once the expected jackpot is over $144M, the game becomes in favor of the buyer. Of course, the caveat is that the jackpot number is not the lump sum after tax payout, so you have to adjust for that. Also, as the jackpot grows so does the number of players, and thus the likelihood of multiple winners. And the whole thing is moot because the law of large numbers does not work for once in a while events. So obviously I am trying to distract myself from what I should be doing instead right now.
$155M after factoring for cash value and after maaser and after taxes = a whole lot of coffee. thanks! you’re a good man charlie brown! oh… and look at the money I am saving you by skipping the sugar! :o)
72,
I offered you a year’s worth of free coffee. If you can drink millions of dollars worth of coffee in a year, then I am VERY impressed! And yeah, thanks for saving me on the sugar!
hey guess what i just realized?? i must have made a mistake because i was wondering where it went and i just saw it in the wrong thread:

whats your problem mod39- who said they wouldn’t give anything else in addition to masser to tzeddakah? We’re first tackling the masser part which is a must- and also happens to be $13 mil now! so one tiny little part of this mess at a time, wouldya? 😉
Posted 1 day ago #
i bought a ticket for the $130 million, but didn’t even get one number correct! so, tomorrow i will be buying another ticket for the $155 million lotto, for friday night drawing!(thanx to ames[for asking] i know i’m allowed to buy it!)
i hope to keep you all informed of my big winning! ;-0
Jax- you’re the last member of the CR that needs the $$$! You’ve got the family Ireland fund that has a bottomless pit 😉
areivim: 😉 maybe i’ll share some with you, i’ll have $15 million to massur!
areivim,
where do you think the Ireland Fund got its money from if not the lottery?
moish: hey yeah, i noticed that! i was confused there til i realized it wasn’t really part of that thread!
keep on dreaming
The family Ireland fund is real money? I was always under the impression that his father’s “business” was a yeshiva, and Jax’s work there is in the bais medrash. Am I the only one who thought so?
Charlie brown: for the record my biggest lotto winning was only $100 bucks! but the Ireland Fund is doing very well-no issues with the economy theses days b”h!;)
squeak: wow i’m laughing so hard! ok i’ll stop laughing to hit send!;)
I just went with my bro and we bought a lottery ticket together. I’m going to win but I won’t be able to tell anyone here cuz then you’ll all know who I am, so I guess you should just congratulate me now on my(our) good fortune.
~a~
hey if you really won you wouldn’t tell us?? what a friend.
don’t worry, with money like that you don’t have to worry about the CR messing up shidduchim 😉
and of course you would remember those of us who give chizuk (and 🙂 )
tip to the winner: hold off on going to claim your prize! if you go right away to claim your prize, there would be a big hooplah and they’ll take your photo! then the lotto place has the right to give your photo to local papers to print an article of you as the winner! you have almost a full year to claim the prize! by then you can get your prize with the world knowing about it!
oh and one more think make you Estate the winner and not you, will save you a lot of headaches!
Jax, is that what you did the last time around?
moish, the mods won’t let it through cuz you guys will all know who I am and that would be a terrible breach of cr policy! But maybe I’ll do what jax said, wait a while to claim and then i’ll be able to tell you that i won.
~a~
jax, you sound like you have loads of experience…
kapusta: i’m talking from experience! 😉
anonymisss, nah, why wait? just buy out the whole YWN (and CR!!!) and then you can make me a mod!
anonymisss: good idea, just check how long it is that you can claim the prize for! at some point you no longer could claim it though after the time!
anonymisss, you should only have such problems! (and everyone else here!)
kapusta: great Bracha , Amen!
keep imagining
that makes two of us mod, my father got one for each of us, I think someone ended up with a free ticket… did anyone have better luck?
220M reasons to keep the imagination busy
That’ll make 220M coffee’s for the YW moderators!
