    squeak, and I erroniously thought that by nature you were an easy going individual. Hmmmm. Maybe go check with your doc 🙂

    Joseph, 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.

    squeak, I had a wisecrack for your last response, but on reconsideration it was too nasty even as a joke.

    squeak, there’s nothing embarrassing about being a yekke…

    areivim,

    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 🙂

    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.

    I know! I was wondering if you realized that too! You guys always spoke about the action going on at 3 so I decided to try but I think I got the wrong night. Or I just missed the boat all together cuz it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore!

    If there are no further questions about my lineage, my relations, or my blood pressure, would it be OK for me to answer mominisrael?

    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.

    you merely asked.

    #1081302

    mepal-

    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?

    ICOT: 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.

    I’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?

    Who ever said you have to stand for all the tefillos? Are you the Chazzanis by any chance?
