mepal, it’s steady at 180/130. Nothing wrong with that – thanks for your concern 🙂
Chas v’ Shalom…80.
squeak: Previous Squeak Post Are you’re German relatives not yekkes?
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- what are the other options for a Jewish German
areivim – Where did squeak mention any other options for Jewish Germans?
just my point… is he making a point?
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 🙂
Watch that BP…
mepal, as a yekke you would say that 🙂
It’s nice and cozy in the CR today, isn’t it.
is 26 around??
ahh! gotcha again 🙂
squeak, one more time?
26- I herebye appoint you as the executive director of the Big Bad Box
congrats on your promotion
mepal 🙂
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.
as an answer to your comment, yes! Although the only part we hold onto is the title :-/
oh, and the taleisim for the kids.
…and the obsession with blood pressure jokes
Really? That’s yekkish related? Who woulda known?
where does the expression “on a soapbox” come from?
old CR member’s: the term ”om a soapbox” comes directly from AZ! ;-))
Hey! my fn key is OFFF!! Thanks ICOT for all your help!
mepal: hi & nice going!
hello! Why you on so early for a change?
mepal: hello & why so late for you?! btw i saw one night that we were both on without a mod last week at 3am! ha!
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!
mepal: yeah, no mods are here that late pulling the late late night shift! and kapusta, aussie, moish anint here to make it happen!
I know, you must feel so lonely at those times.
Jax, buddy, you already got one wrong!
take it to General Shmooze!
-Jax Chairman of the CR Board
mepal, are you sleepwalking now? Welcome to the late night party!
kapusta: well welcome back to the night shift!
kapusta, in response to your ‘random’ question, sleep walking, sleep posting…
Jax, thank you. It’s good to be back, but I think I’m gonna hafta go soon. (lets see just how soon that soon is.)
mepal, what happened to sleep sleeping?
kapusta, give me some time 😉
Although I’ll prob have to catch up tomorrow by my desk zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
If you see someone who looks like shes sleepwalking wake me up. 🙂
mepal: who needs sleep anyways?!
MEpal does! So far we’re doin ok, though.
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.
Who said there were no more questions?
you merely asked.
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?
thanks, squeak.
did you make that up or isit verified? 🙂
weird anyway.
both
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.
cool
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?
