I check into this thread not give advice, only to see if WOW has any good news.

IYH bkarov we will hear something positive.

OK, So being addicted to the internet is not an addiction, who says that it has to have a label?

It does not change the situation.

OK, in other words what you are saying is the your company would not permit a filter.

You can still have a Blacklist filter.

besides the fact, sites can be unblocked in seconds.

if you work with a blacklist, bottlenecks should not an issue.

I don’t consider myself a poster. Count me out.

Some of our systems are written in VB, the Pro is that anyone with just a little programing knowledge can right away see how the software is constructed.

in reality, almost anything can be done with any language, you would just need a different approach.

Yes, there is an addiction, I know lots of people that cannot control themselves, they are on the net a big portion of the day. either on youtube or any other time spending site.

Putting a filter will not take away the additiction, however it will put limits and borders as to where the addict can surf.

Guard your eyes, will at least make the surfer think twice before he/she clicks on the site. (unless they are unashamed on their actions.

Thanks for posting that.

That was the speech I was referring to.

I think that Mod-80 said it well.

We shouldnt say Halled ont he 4th, since the Neis was not with us (assuming that this wqas a Neis).

MoraRach,

Would you mind sharing what a BBQ and America being a great country have in common?

I also think that America is the greatest country, even greater is the fact that my grandparents were accepted and given a chance here in the USA.

However doing something that Goyim do is not something that I would prefer. We spend the day together playing and having fun (like each Sunday) we daven and learn as well. Use this day of rest to cut myself off from work and enjoy life.

BTW, I am a bigger reader than poster, You are providing to many personal details here.

a lot of your posts are based on one or more personal details, mostly sorrounding your work.

I can make a list of information ( I would of course never do that) of snippets that I have picked up reading your posts.

zhavasdad.

i am really sorry, I am in a position to disagree with you.

I for one research products on a daily basies, in fact most of the products are designer textiles. our network is filtered, there is no reason to have access to filthy sites in order to research an item.

If however I or someone else on our team needs access to a site, the site gets whitelisted either temprarily or permantly, whitelisiting takes just a few minutes. no hassle at all.

The rabonim reckognize the fact that we need internet, they know that a lot of people are on teh interenet the entire day, this is the way they make a living, however there is no excuse to have unfiltered internet.

I would like you to give me an example where filtered internet would prevent you from making a living.

BTW, you do nto need access to FB or Twiter in order to post something. we post all the time without access.

Yentingyenta,

thats if you think that you said something not nice.

I did not see anything not nice in ANY of your posts, I was referring to the poster that thought that it is important to right something and couldnt come up with anything positive.

so what do you suggest?

they go around on the streets and shout: “All former ConEd workers, we have a temp job for you in Baltimore”?

I think that this question is to general.

It really depends on the story behind the family becoming an ex family.

Between the kitchen and computer screen.

Also, the water most be drinkable, therefore wipes might not work.

A. I think you are referring to what the poskim mention, which is washing for nekiyos, the used to wash three times.

Mayim reshonim gets tamei. Unless its a revi’is. Therefore we wash twice.

I me toned he kelei thing to Pasul using wipes. Btw, according to some poskim, the water does not have to be in one place, if it’s all connected sort of zeria (doesn’t have to be with all dinim like by a Mikva) is good enough. So if all the water touches, it’s good enough.

Haleivi, that is incorrect.

Mayim Shniyim is because mayim reshomin gets tamei.

This does not occur when using more than a revi’s as sam2 pointed out.

Sam2 the water not only has to be in one place, it most be in a Keili. it has to have a din Keili.

Wow!

up until this post you got along so well with Health. look what one post can do.

You don’t need a revi’s.

That’s why we wash two times each hand. Once to get it tahor, but the water sbecomes tomei. The second time is metaher the hand and the water stays tahor.

When you have a revi’s, the water never gets tomei.

Its called mayim reshonim.

PBA.

I don the shulchan aruch in front of me, however I recall that when I learned simian 159 I was mentioned that this is only bshas hadchak. And not for pleasure Hikes.

I just re read PBAs original post.

If someone is already in middle of the way/hike and wants to eat bread and knows for a fact that the is no water within the next three mil (72 min).

In my personal opinion, he should not use the water for shing the hands, since he will have no water left for survival. (since he knows that the is no other water in the area, hiking without water is definatley dangerous).

However, he has the option to wash and save the water for drinking.

It’s not a real tumah.

In most cases I do not call back.

Leaving a message is not associated with any difficulties, leave a message so that the person you called should know that you are expecting his call-back.

Otherwise, assume that this person belongs to the group of people that does not return calls if you tried calling them.

When I see that someone tried calling me multiple times over a short period of time, I do call them back, as it might be an urgent matter.

you can carry an inflatable Keili, and use it once you reach the stream to wash.

I am not sure that one is allowed to himself in a position of Shas hadchak just for pleasure.

We dry our hands, since water can become Tamah (midrabanan)
