binah
a brief welcome back to you. Thanks for your YO”T wishes and same to you.
Dear Feiffy,
Why do so many posters retire early or semiretire? And how long does the average CR poster last here?
can’t stay on long either, sorry
several words fit the bill as is
“sarcasm is a lot of fun”
HUMOR is a lot of fun, but not at someone else’s expense.
Her comment was directed condescendingly at a particular individual.
Not classy.

Impressive! SO what do you attribute to your incredible longevity, besides obviously Hashem
SO there’s a gr8 gr8grandma! That’s really gr8!

Definitely remove the Rav and surname and all titles and the shlita parts when davening.
Some people claim to have a deeper tfilla when they know for whom it is they are davening.
And thanks for answering a question that I had: if people actually read the tehillim stickies or if it’s better to open a new thread.

I’m not a posek, but I would imagine that the practice of not cutting nails in order has more to do with the one getting them cut and not the manicurist.
Women going to the mikvah do try to cut one set of nails on the previous day. For those who don’t cut nails on Thursdays in general, they cut the day prior. However, if one forgets altogether, then better to cut the same day, although it’s not optimal.
As an aside, one should remember to wash netilas yadayim after cutting nails (or going to the barber)
As always, consult your LOR

One can edge forward constantly by just removing one’s foot off the brake, this should probably not burn any extra gasoline.

The most effective way to save on gasoline is by getting rid of your car.

Beit Shemesh and RBS are 2 distinct areas.
In fact, RBS aleph is distinctly different that RBS bais.
I’m wondering if it was necessary to include your first sentence on this auspicious day in Elul, the second part reflects your point totally. And this is truly said with deep respect and warmth.
Let’s all try to be careful for the next few days.
TIA
Can any puzzle host please stick around some to answer guesses?
(The first E above was guessed almost immediately, yet was unanswered for c 8 hours, the I is still unanswered after 11 hours.
And all this in less than one day.)
We love your game, oh gr8 one, we are waiting for you!

In case you didn’t realize, there’s an unanswered I, O, & S above.
Hey, I know it’s late and all, but isn’t that exactly the way I spelled it above? Or is the late hour playing tricks on my vision?

DESIGNER FASHION
==================
You know fashion designers like Vera Wang and Bill Blass
Who are considered Kings and Queens of elite fashion class
Whose goal is that their designs cause people to turn and stare
Who dictate to the rest of the world the current fashion flair
One year it’s slits, one year it’s tight
One year it’s short, to men’s delight
Exposing collarbones, elbows and knees
To the delight of any man who sees
They’ve apparently run short of fabric
On either side of the Atlantic
How can women be so blind
So as not to know the human male’s mind
Men are very visual creatures
So please cover your G-d given features
G-d is the BIGGEST fashion Designer
Who wants you to look refined and finer
He wants you to be attractive but not to attract
For you to be elegant but not to distract
You’re Hashem’s precious daughter whom He has blessed
So please Thank Him by the way you are dressed
Nope, sorry
Hmmm…Obama being unaware AND making others feel uncomfortable, oh yes, I think that does ring a bell
Thank you for the laughs!
I thought with this thread’s title that it would be about proper etiquette when meeting Queen Elizabeth. Truly.
CH wrote in another thread that he was using this time to learn.

There is a frum one in Boro Park for women.
If this does not suit you, you can always contact the organizer to start one in your community.

There are lists of shadchanim based on location listed on the net; google them.
All the best to you.
There are two distinct issues here.
The OP speaks of confronting a dilemma as the host. Icot has expressed a solution well.
The second is quantifying a guest’s appropriate behavior. Zaidy says it all(among others).

You sure have a career ahead of you writing scripts.
This was very funny. I totally agree with Aries.

80 said it so well above. You and the others have the best wishes from everyone in the CR, I’m sure.
Thanks, EI, for this vort and for all your others.

“Because there’s no way someone is actually worried about his/her chances of marriage due to the fact that a family member chose not to live their life off the system”
Some young women are worried about their chances of marriage being affected for lesser things than this, such as if they use plastic tablecloths on Shabbos or not.

When I was just a little kid, a long long time ago
The month Adar had just come in, but how was I to know
that there was such a holiday with food I would sequester
That yummy treat I love to eat when reading about Esther
The first time that I saw these things, triangular in shape,
Their smell was oh, so heavenly that there was no escape
I took a bite, my appetite just grew and grew and grew
Without Oznei Haman and Purim, oh what would I do?
and ya know, you COULD say it Dociousaliexpeeistic-califragirupus, but that would be going a bit too far, wouldn’t you say? indubidoubly!

Can you write your parents a note?
Can you ask your rav for guidance?
Many people who are affected by the Holocaust don’t buy Bosch products because it’s a German company.
In 1886, the Bosch company was established by Robert Bosch as a “Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Engineering” in Stuttgart, Germany
Kneading by hand sure gets those muscles moving.
R Avrohom Blumenkranz z”l would bring his own meals to chasunas so as not to be ????? the ???? ?????. He also said that he did not impose some of his chumras on the rest of his family.
Watch R Reisman at a simcha and you’ll see that he’ll just barely eat, if at all.
Being machmir on oneself is a great level; being matriach another is something else.
A major goal in life should be that learning Torah and living Torah principles should be one and the same. ?? ????? ????? ??? ?????; it’s not just the learning Torah that’s the essential point but actually living it.
The principles espoused by your dear parents are clearly NOT Torah-based. Hashem erases His own name for the sake of shalom (sotah); that’s how much He values Shalom. Shalom is even one of Hashem’s names. Bentching ends with shalom, shmone esrei has it towards the end, kaddish…Hashem’s “signature” is shalom.
Another MAJOR Torah principle not being adhered to is lashon hara, rechilus, etc. There are MANY aveiros for each time something is being said.
Another Torah principle is that the way we treat others, Hashem will treat us. E.g., if we are judgmental of others, Hashem will be judgmental of us on ??? ????. Elul is a perfect time to show ???? ??????.
Remember that Rabbi Akiva’s very learned talmidim died because ??? ?????? ????? ?? ???, they didn’t give each other the proper respect. The behavior ??? ??? ????? counted by Hashem MORE than the amount of Torah they had amassed. ??? ???- the idea is to LIVE the Torah that we are learning.
???? was a brilliant Torah scholar, but ?????? was his downfall (no pun intended).
Even though ??? ???? was correct and should have married Yaakov immediately, she preserved a family member’s honor and gave her the ??????, and it was because OF THIS that Hashem listened to her when requesting compassion for Hashem’s children by the churban/golus. It was ROCHEL’s act of compassion towards a family member that appeased Hashem, not the myriads of Torah scholars and tzaddikim. Something to think about.
The Chofetz Chayim wouldn’t have been a good enough son-in-law for your parents, as the CC had a day job as a storekeeper. Dovid Hamelech wouldn’t have been a good enough son-in-law either, as he was a blue-collar shepherd from a VERY young age.
When your parents learn to see the GOOD qualities of their SIL and FOCUS on those, that’s when Hashem will focus on your parents’ good qualities. It’s also when Hashem will reward them for preserving peace in the family and not harboring resentment in their hearts.
Your father may even wish to become his SIL’s chavrusa for an hour or so, imparting his love for Torah in a positive way.
This situation is quite easy for all of us to see on the outside, as we posters seem to be of the same mind.
Sometimes when one is in a situation, it is harder to see the clarity as someone on the outside.
I do not believe you should look away from the situation. Tell your parents the ideas expressed by the posters in a letter. You should strongly consider speaking to the family rav and present the issue. Nipping the problem in the bud is MUCH better than letting the problem fester until it becomes much more difficult to repair ???.
????? ??? and please let us know how it’s going, if you can.
We need more participants to sign up.
Perhaps someone can post about this on the News section of YWN with the link.

Thanks so much, blabla and observanteen
You were SO good in depicting that awful scene.
We just need bitachon in Avinu Malkenu
And we need Moshiach bimhayra viyamainu.
Ca, I was thinking the same thing!
There’s a new message now that it’s down today for maintenance.
Sounds like it’s going to have tchiyas hamaysim soon; may it come to the rest of us soon AKY”R
It gives people meaning in their lives to help others, as long as there are healthy boundaries in place.
Your concerns and these boundaries should be discussed between the two of you so that you will both be gaining from continued contact.
