mepal, it’s steady at 180/130. Nothing wrong with that – thanks for your concern 🙂

September 16, 2009 6:53 pm at 6:53 pm #1081258JosephParticipantsqueak: Previous Squeak Post Are you’re German relatives not yekkes?
September 16, 2009 7:07 pm at 7:07 pm #1081259mepalMembersqueak, and I erroniously thought that by nature you were an easy going individual. Hmmmm. Maybe go check with your doc 🙂
September 16, 2009 7:20 pm at 7:20 pm #1081260squeakParticipantJoseph, thanks for citing your reference. At this point, I will neither confirm nor deny anything. If you imagine that all Germans are yekkes you are wildly mistaken.
September 16, 2009 7:28 pm at 7:28 pm #1081261JosephParticipantsqueak, I had a wisecrack for your last response, but on reconsideration it was too nasty even as a joke.
September 16, 2009 7:36 pm at 7:36 pm #1081262areivimzehlazehParticipantsqueak- what are the other options for a Jewish German
September 16, 2009 7:40 pm at 7:40 pm #1081263JosephParticipantareivim – Where did squeak mention any other options for Jewish Germans?
September 16, 2009 7:45 pm at 7:45 pm #1081264areivimzehlazehParticipantjust my point… is he making a point?
September 16, 2009 7:47 pm at 7:47 pm #1081265mepalMembersqueak, there’s nothing embarrassing about being a yekke…
September 16, 2009 7:50 pm at 7:50 pm #1081266squeakParticipantareivim,
Jews who emigrated to Germany from uberland in the early 1900s would not be yekkes (IMO) anymore than German Jews who moved to Portugal after the war become Sephardim. And thank you for not jumping to conclusions like some people….
mepal, as a yekke you would say that 🙂
September 16, 2009 7:52 pm at 7:52 pm #1081267mepalMemberWatch that BP…
September 16, 2009 7:52 pm at 7:52 pm #1081268squeakParticipantmepal, as a yekke you would say that 🙂

The seocnd time was because once I saw that tough ole 26 was around and my post had not been approved for 10 full seconds, I was afraid that it would not make it up at all.

September 16, 2009 10:09 pm at 10:09 pm #1081279mominisraelMemberwhere does the expression “on a soapbox” come from?

On a soapbox
A soapbox is simply a box containing soap. At some earlier point in time, speakers would stand in public on such a box full of soap so as to be seen and heard above the crowd. Why soap? I don’t know, but I assume a full box made for a better pedestal. A kashe oif a ma’aseh. Of course, today’s most common soapbox is the blog. If you say someone is “on his soapbox” it refers metaphorically to someone making a flamboyant public speech.
September 17, 2009 5:14 pm at 5:14 pm #1081299AnonymousInactiveWho said there were no more questions?
September 17, 2009 5:15 pm at 5:15 pm #1081301mepalMemberyou merely asked.
September 17, 2009 5:20 pm at 5:20 pm #1081302I can only tryMembermepal-
You’re quite welcome.
(I’m not sure if the bylaws allow me to accept thanks for simply posting an “I don’t know” and a couple of suggestions.)
Just out of curiousity – did you call Dell or follow the advice from the site that Google located?
September 17, 2009 5:21 pm at 5:21 pm #1081303mominisraelMemberthanks, squeak.
did you make that up or isit verified? 🙂
weird anyway.
September 17, 2009 5:23 pm at 5:23 pm #1081304squeakParticipantboth
September 17, 2009 5:25 pm at 5:25 pm #1081305mepalMemberICOT: I googled the term and I was told to click Fn+numlock or Shift+Fn+numlock. I tried it, it didn’t work. Then I simply pressed numlock key and presto! Its off!
And re the thanks, I dont go by any laws ;). And it was your idea to try googling. Thanks again.
September 17, 2009 5:30 pm at 5:30 pm #1081306mominisraelMembercool
September 21, 2009 6:51 pm at 6:51 pm #1081307kapustaParticipantI’m not trying to dis anyone/anything, but whats the purpose of standing for all the tefillos or just neilah on yom kippur? Are tefillos coming from someone with tired feet accepted faster?
September 21, 2009 6:52 pm at 6:52 pm #1081308mepalMemberWho ever said you have to stand for all the tefillos? Are you the Chazzanis by any chance?
