    Toi – if you are not a mod, then GET OUT OF HERE!!! Who are YOU to accuse publicly and embarrass another jew???! Phoooy! Your comment disgusted me! How can you say that and still call yourself a yid?! I hope you ask mechila b’rabim from coreytothecup, and then flee this site and never come back!!

    I hear what you are saying real-brisker, and I, too, purposely DON’T buy this product, and actually ENJOY getting dirty putting my neiros together myself. Same concept as building your own sukkah. instead of hiring others to put it up for you. There is such value and importance in sweating and doing it yourself when it’s for a mitzvah!

    I am one of those clumsy, 2 left feet, un-geshikteh people out there but when my children see Tatty putting up a sukkah and doing mitzvos MYSELF, even though it is hard (and sometimes embarrassing) they are priceless lessons my children will learn. Not to mention Hashem’s nachas He reaps from us working hard to do the best we can to fulfill His mitzvos.

    All that said, these pre-done neiros ARE convenient when, say, you are going on a Chanuka trip, are in a rush, or for elderly people, etc. The product is not the bizayon, it’s WHO is using it and WHY.

    BaalSechal – VERY nice!! That was a deep thought! The truth is that Malchus, rulership, is a middah that anyone can be koyneh. As Chazal tell us, that for a period of time, all that Shlomo HaMelech ruled over was his own walking stick. He was left with nothing but a cane, yet we are told he reigned over this cane. How do you ‘rule’ over a cane?! We see that Malchus is a Middah, not something dependent on having a palace, wealth or an army. And as you pointed out, Eisav could have been koyneh this middah to the highest level, even more than Yaakov, yet he failed.

    During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password:

    “MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento.”

    When asked why she had such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital.

    Thank you for taking the time to post at this exciting time in your life. Mazel tov to you, and thank you for your beautiful words. May your chasuna be b’shah tova, with much happiness that will last your whole life long.

    If I may, i would like to suggest a peice of advice that you can, either, totally ignore, or keep in you drawer.

    Although you are engaged and will IY”H get married, please don’t take the nisyonos of these past few years, and just try to block the difficulties and depressing memories out of your head. Hopefully you have matured (as is witness to this beautiful thread), polished your middos, and grew strong from it. Down the road, others may come your way that are in a difficult, perhaps similar situation you have been in, and they’ll cry how they are at the verge of giving up. Thats when your dating years will come in as a positive ‘theropeutic’ remedy. You can use them as an effective ‘tool’ to sympathize, hear them out, and encourage them because you can RELATE to their pain. You know of their tzar better than others, because you’ve been down that road! You can be more sensitive than others. You can be more sympathetic than others. And IY”H be mechazek others with your lesson of never giving up hope for a yeshuah.

    real-brisker; let’s drop that topic, please. I think everyone here has moved on….

    popa: LOL, my friend, the question, no matter how you answer it, will always be the greatest question ever.

    And anyways, according to your logic, that the FIRST day was a neis TOO because there was some remaining oil, (which is a great ha’arah BTW) but then it would come out that the EIGHTH day wasn’t miraculous!! So you’re still left with a question why eight days and not seven?

    To your second question, I have never heard that question before. What I did hear is why isn’t there a NINTH day ‘altz’ sefeika d’yoma?

    p.s. do you really HATE the kasha, or did you write that to annoy me again 🙂

    The B.Y.’s kasha has to be one of the greatest questions in the entire spectrum of traditional, jewish lore! I beleive there is a sefer out there exclusively on this one kasha, with about 100 or so answers.

    in reply to: What would you do in this situation. #831019
    BaalHabooze
    Participant

    yes, I agree aries2756 is certainly correct. The situation calls for your husband to be the one to take care of this. If he can’t, you can always say in a polite and friendly way ‘I don’t mean to be rude but I really need alone time with my husband as we need to discuss some personal things and besides it’s getting very late’ or s/t like that. There are many nice ways to say to a guest it’s time to leave, but with your “sensitive’ friend always add “we hope we see you again soon’ when he leaves. Hatzlacha.

    hmmm…good question Goq. I think it’s when you don’t react to a situation on impulse and out of anger. Rather, you witness bad behavior, take a few seconds to calm down and conscioussly make an effort to handle the child in a rational and loving way. i.e. even if you petch it is done with ZERO anger and only as a lesson for the child- but the child has to KNOW that the petch is coming out of that love and not through anger.

    Please, I beg, stop the bashing! I get sick in my stomach when I read these petty fights and false accusations. c’mon guys, for heaven’s sake! riboinoy shel oilam! What was the major lesson last week here in the CR??? Innocent until proven guilty!

    coreytothecup asked a perfectly legitimate question with no implied threats. I know of at least 3 women personally that needed hatzoloh and felt extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed when men SHE KNEW showed up. There are emergency situations that sometimes require sensitivity and concern beyond the actual call, and women volenteers would solve that issue. The OP began a thread which is perfectly fair and invites a peaceful hashkofic discussion as any other thread posted here. Let the MODS decide which posters are shady, that’s THEIR job. All you guys do by accusing others is stumbling on oinoas devorim etc. Please let us maintain our composure and if you don’t like a thread – stay away from it. May peace reign once again here in the CR.

    o.k., with all due respect, I am not a mad man or an angry person who goes around hitting my kids from frrustration every day or anything like that. Nothing like that! I would say i petch my kids on their bottom about once every 2-3 weeks. I feel man enough to admit my bad midda, and wish more than anything else to FIX this. I will be speaking to my rebbi about it for help IY”H. Until then, I am looking for pointers and proper chinuch techniques from you posters, not criticism and mussar shoozen on how bad it is to petch when upset. I love my children more than anything else and recognize my fault openly. Constructive criticism is fine, but right now I am seeking alternatives and advice.

    Health: “Unforntunately a lot of elders are moving here and are becoming burdens on their kids.”

    1- why UNfortunately?

    2- the only way to translate burden in that sentence is #2.

    that’s what went through MY mind reading that sentence.

    Now, please, I beg, before this blows way out of proportion, I am sorry if I overreacted. somtimes misinterpretations, slips, and wrong connetations happen when we read other’s posts. I don’t mean to start any fights and am sorry for any harmful feelings I have caused you. Again, chas v’shalom do I hate Lakewood, or any yid living there.

    Yes, but who cares about Minniapolis, Atlanta or Vancouver?

    “To criticize Lakewood openly and just for the sake of getting something off ones chest is a big mistake.”

    why? I’m stuck here OOT! Have a heart. I’m only trying to think positive about my situation ?

    “Lakewood is a HUGE Makom Torah!!! I would argue that outside Yerushalyim, Lakewood is second best place for too many reasons to list.”

    6. know that for a fact.
