    You can use the water for washing, then drink it.

    If you need this water to survive, then do not waste it for anything else.

    If you do not need this water to keep hydrated, then yo must use it for washing.

    However, if you do not have water with you, or need the water to stay hydrated, you must search or water, 18 min if it’s out of your way, 72 min if it is in your way.

    If however you are sure that you will not find water, there is no need to wait.

    Keep in mind, this is only bshas hadchak. I don’t think that you shoul go hiking and put yourself into a Bshas hadchak situation

    If you had in mind that the previous washing should be for this meal as well. You do not need to wash again.

    It’s a machlokes if it’s a lichatchila.

    Don’t be naive, their religion might be based on twisting and fraud.

    However they do have learned men that can show you proof.

    Unless you are not really familiar with their entire beliefs and logic, refrain from debating them.

    Same goes with atheists. Once you know their theories inside out, you will have an easy job exposing their falsehood. Untill then don’t debate them.

    Why would it be a waste of time if he doesn’t Harvard Abuchatzeira?

    He might have wasted a opportunity, but not a waste of time.

    A- because my monthly premium will increase dramatically. Got a letter from the insurance company that I should expect a 46% increase for 2013.

    B- contrary to what you wrote, I believe that most uninsured, do not have coverage because they ode not to. We have Medicaid/Medicare for thos who cannot afford it. I saw someplace that the statistic for ninsured are young adults that don’t WANT to pay for it.

    C- pre existing conditions. Insurance is for the unexpected. In fact, if I would purchase fire insurance because I knew that my house will be on fire. That is insurance fraud. Same is with medical insurance.

    The fact that one has pre existing issues, should be a good enough reason for the insurance company not to provide coverage. They are here to earn money, not to pay our bills.

    The government should pay for people with pre existing conditions AND cannot afford to pay the medical bills themselves. (isn’t this Medicaid..?).

    WOW, you write that he prefers that you dont talk to him.

    Interesting, if all you do is clean his laundry and prepare food for him, why should he resent you?

    It is very likely (assuming that he prefers not talking to you) that there is something between the two of you.

    If all you want is the best for your child, you should first heal that relationship.

    Please do not take my post in offensive way, if you prefer, I will not post anymore ‘advice’.

    You should have a Yeshua Bekoroiv.

    Although I believe that any average practicing Yid has enough knowledge to withstand any such encounters, please note that this is not something that anyone should engage in a debate unless you are really versed with your opponents beliefs and ‘proofs’.

    One person that was an expert in this, is Harav Avigdor Miller. Harav Miller spoke about these subjects (foreign beliefs) at length.

    He debated and studied Christianity.

    I once heard a shiur from Harav Miller in which he reviewed a lot of Pesukim from TANACH that the Christians use as proof to their Religion. he explains the real dikduk and the real TEITCH, and exposes how they twisted just one word in order ‘prove’ their religion.

    One of the things the rav hamchshir must do, is make sure that the cows should not be treif.

    This is why a lot of people are makpid on a reliable hechsher, so that they can drink milk that comes from non treif cows.

    What is the heter of drinking Chalav Stam (Read Akum).

    Yekke,

    Number 5 is not a raye, since if it’s assur, then you should stay home or move to a different place.

    I don’t think that a recording camera is at similar to a motion sensor. A motion detector does not record, so there is no sheila of ksiva. A DVR does record.

    The fact that it would anyhow record, doesn’t seem satisfying, since what would happen anyhow, does not make something mutter.

    Is there any posek that WROTE something on this topic?

    I think that it’s a bit complicated.

    Interesting. Someone walks and he does a ksiva at a remote location (onto the hard drive).

    I feel very bad for those that are going through this.

    I do not know much about your situation, nor am I qualified to direct you.

    However I will offer my observation of other situations similar to the ones you described.

    I have read that you have a hard time accepting him for what he is.

    Let me just tell you, that first and for most, never ever throw him out of your house, never make him feel like he is not wanted.

    Do not try to ‘teach him a lesson’ as this will backfire.

    Children (read ‘teens’) today, are not similar to the teen you were, they were brought up in a much different environment.

    even if you cannot really bring your self to FULLY love and FULLY accept him, make believe and try to force your self to accept him.

    Have private one on one talks with him, go walking with him (This might not be appropriate in your area, so take a small trip someplace else).

    Dont be the one that talks about him. rather talk WITH him, make him feel accepted and wanted.

    Believe me, those ‘friends’ dont REALLY care about him, nor are they interested in helping him with his issues (I am sure that are a lot).

    You are his Mother, you should be the one that he relies on when he needs some Motherly love!

    Also, make sure to validate him.

    another point ( I am sure that a lot of people mentioned all of this, forgive me if you are reading this ‘advise’ for the thousandth time..)

    is to make sure that you have his laundry prepared, neatly and his suites/pants/shirts ironed.

    His Breakfast nice and fresh. his lunch nicely packed with a piece of cake wrapped. leaving a note wishing him a good apatite, goes a long way.

    You might think that these ‘small’ things are in vain, however this will leave the message that “you have a mother, and she really care about you”.

    What I really can do is hope and pray that he should stay our of any harm and you should be zoche to see lots of Nachas from him!

    there are a lot.

    However in your case, i think that the best idea would be OpenDNS.

    cost is very minimal. and you program your router to use their DNS.

    you must make sure that.

    A) your children dont have access and the ability to log onto the router.

    B) they dont get their own router and bypass your filter.

    Health,

    I am sorry to have touched on a nerve, all I did was ask a sincere questions. No reason to get all worked up.

    To answer your question, First I do not post any medical advice. second I am working on my Medic license.

    You recently posted that you were a medic and an EMT, but no longer are.

    This means that you served in a Ambulance Corps (not hatzolah, as you poseted). since you must have around 200 clinical hours in order to apply to medic school.

    After analyzing all of your posts, I have noticed that your medical knowledge is really surfaced (besides some prehospital stuff). other posters have more than once pointed that out.

    it is evident that you are investing a lot in your online persona.

    You have no problem discussing personal details as your nasty divorce and issues with your childrens school.

    However when asked a simple questions. you get wild. Makes me wonder..

    I was using K9, it slowed down our entire network!

    I have asked other people, they said that they never had a problem, we experimented it, uninstalled it re-installed it a few times, K9 was making everything much slower.

    However, OpenDNS is a great idea, they claim a lot of large companies use their service.
