Glad to be of service. Care to share the song? These words have special significance to me.
tomim tihye: it was a stam song using the words of Tomim Tihye and the Rashi
which tune? or did you compose it yoursef?
regents are only in NY as far as I know, and there is some talk of doing away with them. ABout time. (And no, I have no kids in High School anymore).
They better abolish regents it’s a waste of
time, last year I studying for 3 months and this hear I will study more because I’m taking chemistry which is murder and pointless being that u can’t relate to it.
taking a crash course definitely helps
I know an amazing chemistry tutor for females only in Brooklyn with reasonable rates. E-mail me through YWN for her number.
Anyone still here who remembers general shmooze 2? <sighs>
yea regents are definetly a waste of time
my brother who is now in yeshiva in NY has to take regents.(He never had to take them before.)he said noone takes them seriously there.
tomim tihye: “which tune? or did you compose it yoursef?”
I composed it.
they’re doing away with regents now? why couldn’t they have done it four years ago this way i wouldn’t have had to take them? i agree they are a waste.
kapusta: yes i remember quite fondly general schmooze 2 i had some really good times on there …..moment of silence……
i dont think theyre doing away with regents its just the kids who have no patience for them
All rise in honor of General Shmooze 2. (General Snooze?) Will someone please recite some words?
(Joke that fits in here: A group of people were at the funeral of a man who the whole town hated. Someone got up and said no one would leave until someone came up and said something good about the deceased. After an hour of everyone sitting, one kind man got up and walks up to the podium. “His brother was worse.”)
jewish girl: not sure what you mean by that.
kapusta: i was standing almost a whole day today does that count?
hi. i dont the room that much to know if the following is appropriate or not but ill try.
the ACAdemy awards just took place and Christoph Waltz just won. so in the interviews its been said that he has a charadi son in eretz yisroel. does anyone know him or where he learns?
wht i ment was tht the schools r taking regents very seriously its just tht the students see no need of having them so they take it lightly
Really haros? Never heard that!
Really haros? Never heard that!
Yes, according to several reports, his ex-wife is Jewish and their son is a chareidi rabbi in EY.
haros, What are ACAdemy awards and how do you win?
Was wondering what happened to the thread “Bad Jokes started by Yiddeshe Mamma? What was she looking for? Where did the thread go?
Hi everyone…
Hello……
Come on people is one hello back enough for the CR veteran???
Just kidding- havn’t been around for literally ages and ages dont recognize any of the topics here- oh well! But I see asdfghjkl is back? Whats the story is that Jax? A new member?

I would like to wish the esteemed Editor, his loyal moderators, the members of the holy Coffee Room and all of Klal Yisroel a Chag Kosher V’Sameach!
This will probably be my last post on the CR until Chol HaMoed or after Yom Tov.
See ya then! Will miss you!!!
Hows everyone doing? Long time since we Generally Shmoozed.
General Snooze? He retired.
And then the coffee room grew up and had real discussions. 🙂
I see I’ve had a name change…. thanks Moderator!

From you of all people.
Shmooze? In our circle, we say “whats the hock?” or my favorite, vus-i-neiyez? (not 3 separate words, and surely not VOS.. nothing stamps you an out-of-towner faster than THAT).
Nee? Vusineiyez?
reminds me of a joke i heard.
The president wanted to know how jews know everything so fast. His advisor says- its because they go around and say “vus titsach” (“vusineiyez” works too) to everyone and thats how news travels around. So the prez decides secretly to dress like a Jew and go to brooklyn (sorry out of towners but thats how the joke went) and go around saying it to Jewish ppl so he can find out news. Sure enough he gets off the plane and asks the first jewish guy he sees “nu vus titsach”. The guy whispers back “THE PRESIDENT IS IN BROOKLYN!!!”
LOL, Blink but its yeneh g’lechter (means: no joke, for the english speaking crowd.)
We do have a way of keeping our hands on the pulse / a sixth sense that defies the outside world. I remember a few years back there was a group under federal investigation in BP and one Friday, in walks a person to the mikvah which normally a chatterbox. Somehow, we all sensed that this newcomer is not a tribe member, and you could hear a pin drop it was so quiet. Not so much in what he said, but the way he said it, and the way he carried himself.
We just felt something off (and never saw him again after that)
BP Totty, I heard a similar story (may be apocryphal, but I doubt it) where the feds were dressed (i.e. not in a mikveh, hehe) as Chassidim but couldn’t get anyone to gossip with them. Unfortunately, they had curled their peyos counter-clockwise.
The other time I know that happened (not the peyos per se) was during the Yossel Schumacher affair. The Mossad tried to pick up leads in Mea Shearim, but made some glaring errors which outed them like a “yovon in em sikkah” (read: a greek in the sukkah)
Vusineiyez?
The NY times had a review of the new Lotus.. its only $80,000, but turns heads like a Mas or Ferrarri. Hows that for Neis!
Imagine being the 1st BP hocker to tear down the avenue (lights and sirens, of course) in one of those!
Tear down the avenue how fast? 62 or less I hope.
In BP? The best you can hope for is 40 mph. But oh, what a sight to see.. and the joy in brings to the little BPers, when Volvie or Chaim Meir or Heshy (Yoily is on a call in Willy, so it cant be him) goes flying down the block, in his shiny new Lotus! (And yes, I am deadly jealous, me in my ho-hum Oddessy)
Feivel would probably enjoy these amazing pics:

Are there any history buffs here?
Does anyone know what the northern colonies produced and what the south produced?
What was the racial/ethnic make up of the northern colonies? the southern colonies?
Thanks!
sounds like you are studying for a history test….sorry can’t be much help though i think cotton was produced in the south? (somewhere in the back of my mind…) Maybe s/o here knows theres a bunch of really smart ppl here- Good Luck!
