Fix your internet exporer settings. It will totally minimize any skin images you may happen upon.
Tell them that Good is better than Dead.
Sure, it could likely be strep. Get yourself to a doctor huh?
It doesnt really completely matter what the end result of the verdict is. True you have to have faith that Hashem will guide the jury. If this is so, perhaps she has some mitigating factors that render her to be innocent of these charges. Had there been a greater wrongdoing, if it is not answered by the courts in our nation, it will most certainly be answered by the courts in heaven. So whatever the case, there will be justice.
I dont know that there is a lot that can cause blistering of the tonsils, but there are things of an infectious nature that can apply. Herpes is a possiblity but I would think rare. There are things such as auti immune symptoms and rheumatic symptoms that could get this type of presentation so see your doctor and consider asking if its a long term medical illness if you have had it for a while.
Don’t worry unless you start carrying around a crossing sign for walking across the street in your car.
I smoke a few cigars a week. 2-3 usually now. But that said, I started smoking a pipe in January and I might smoke about 2-4 bowls a day or so. So its a daily enjoyment right now.
If you are texting when davening, you probably should not be davening at all.
Minyan Girl. I smoke once in a while with an 80 some year old Oncologist of International Repute (cigars).
I am a disabled M.D. who was interested in the field of General Surgery though I have not completed training.
I don’t know why you did not post my previous entry on this thread, but talking during the silent prayer Amidah is an evil thing to do and brings evil into the congregation. This is an absolute no no. Sadly, there are always numerous people who talk immediately after they do their davening without waiting for the time of silent prayer to conclude. I really wish this stopped. I spoke about it a few times at my synagogue and guess what, I am no longer welcome in the shul anymore. Thats how the wickedness propegates. Thanks.
My minhag during the summer months is that I wear my tzitzis when I leave the house to leave the neighborhood where I live. When I am in the market place and elsewhere I wear them. I do not have employment today in my profession but if I did that might cause some quandary as I am a physician and it would be a possible vector to transmit infectious diseases depending on what my job description was. I would wear them for certain if I was say in the diamond business or any other non complicated business. Maybe not if I worked in construction.
During the summer months now, i do not wear them in my home right now or when I am in the neighborhood on a breif walk. I feel this is kosher as I have displayed to the world that I wear my tzitzis in public. To wear them at home, I am wearing 3 shirts and it is just not very comfortable though I do like to wear my tzitzis.
You guys may not like this and I will admit I have no friends in my usual business of the day to tell me one thing or another, but I love tzitzis for many reasons.
They are fun to twirl in your hand when you are walking around in your day.
They are a nice thing to twirl in your fingers and wrap around your fingers when you are in a conversation, espeically sometimes when the other party is against our Way of Life or unorthodox in some capacity. That said, it sure beats the aloof look of a man who puts his hands in his pockets all the time.
I personally think you should publish everything that is NOT ANTISEMITIC. If someone writes a wicked or evil word, the light of our nation can be expressed in writing to canel and scatter the evil of that persons writing. So if someone might say something that you do not agree with as a orthodox leaning jew, let it be written and then you write your reply.
As is written in our prayer books “speak your word and it will not stand”, “plan a conspiracy and it will be annulled”. There is nothing to fear except of course G-d.
Can you tell me more abou this “jblogosphere”? What is its internet address. How many people on a day ordinarilly view this site and the threads (if that is what it is). I would be curious and might consider participating. Remember if there is evil on the internet, you have the light as a jew to suffuse it with orthodox words and discussions. So consider it a place to make Kiruv and no matter what someone does to curse you, mock you, ridicule you or harm your substance, Hashem is with you if you represent the true orthodox point of view and no matter what, there is ALWAYS a way to scatter the evil that exists in this lesser world so that it does no harm and is in fact a scarred remain of an improving light to the nations.
I would personally do a large cannon ball into the swimming pool right in front of him and soak him. That would work right? He would know never to mess with your concentration and eyesight.
I personally wear a t-shirt whenever I am at a pool and likly in the future when I visit a public beach. I just feel I think that it is indecent to be seen without a shirt in public overall. Its not the most wicked act a man can attempt, but it is not the prosperity of your being to be walking around without a shirt in public. Thats what I think.
To Popa:
Realize that you are an American Citizen (I am thinking) and you will come across many other citizens. Though you probably are not running for office, it is really not a bad idea to be polite and to smile when someone asks you how you are doing especially when they are about to perform a menial task to make your day get better. So if you want to be either shallow or peevish about how you smile at the rest of the world, that is your decision. I would think that being a light to the world as you are being a Jewish soul, you might want to consider whether your light is full and brilliant or if it is just flickering.
Sadly in my city of over 3000 yidden, we have no kosher restaurants. So unless I want to drive over an hour of driving tiem in my day, I dont get to eat out that much. Leave it to our great jewish children to congregate in a town and not have a kosher place to eat. 3000 plus yidden and no place to eat? Well I guess we are all busy people. Thanks guys. We don’t really have a mikveh that the whole town can use either. But who am I to complain huh?
Ok. It has carbohydrates and quite a bit of cheese. That tomato sauce never killed anyone. But that said, I really must say that our Creator probably did not make the pizza an appetizer for the children of our years just to be fearful of in the future as we schvitz about the number on the scale. But hey, dont eat it more than once a week at the most unless you just can not find anythig else to dine on. Right?
I realize this is a big dilemma. I must say that I might never try that sort of gum as I have the ones I like. But if you look at it a few times, its only a buck or so to try the gum. Enjoy living in Freedom. Try the gum.
I am not yet sure what we will do this year though sometimes we go to a park and listen to the band or symphony and we get to see the fireworks. I may or may not do a celebration per se, but I can assure you that I will say “G-d bless America” more than a few times in my day.
Personally, I go with the knit kippahs today. I get the Large ones and like how they cover my head better. That said, I started with the leather like/leather ones. I bought quite a few and have not worn them in a long time. They were nice, but I have to say they had a slightly greater weight to them and I was conscious that I had some object on my head. I personally like the knit ones because with 2 clips, they never fall off your head. I can not say that the black ones that do not clip on are any better. That is what the yeshiva students do wear and it looks good of course, but that said, they dont clip and I will not be bothered with a kippah falling off my head throughout the day. I can also leave my kippah on when I sleep and I do like the varied assorted types of patterns that suit my feelings or mood of the day. That said, I personally think that for a professional, the knit ones are very nice and it does give the other party something to view as well and perhaps be interested in as you may change them from day to day.
But I like those knit ones alot. I will not suggest that I am going to be aspiring to a yeshivish position in life and I am quite confident that as a Jew who was originally from the reform movement as a child, this is a vast improvement overall in Jewish practice and expression.
Life is Therapy enough.
8 hour drive from NY to Ohio. Go see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and if you like Football, the Canton Football Hall of Fame.
There exists a condition called orthodoxy that is not particular to the specific of “Orthodox Judaism”. That considered, this means that you are right and proper in all of your needs, endeavors and demeanor. This is how I am querying this word in the above essay.
Being a doctor means that you have an ethical obligation to be a humane and prosperous individual who merits a place at the table when discussing methods and how to be orthodox in your relationships. So I would guess that was a piece of information that should merit that my comment regarding the proper way to handle some extraneous email might be worth a read. Thats all I am saying of course. But if you dont like doctors, I am sorry I can not help you.
My policy is that if the email is legitimate and is well meant, I will reply in some fashion. I do not believe it is totally ethical to “blow off” another soul that wants to speak with you, unless that person has either been someone that is not known to you personally or has no professional interest or is threatening. That said, one should use the opportunity to set up boundaries of the experience and tell that other person your position on whether they have a place emailing you. If at the last resort they can not abide by your boundaries, you simply can edit them out and name them as junk mail. But that said, perhaps Hashem has a plan for each person that seeks to contact you and you might be missing a place in your world to be improving your relationship with Hashem through that other person. If they are clearly not sent by our Creator in an act of goodness, then it is clear that you should either not reply or you should reply in a sense that you discuss their infirmity or wickedness or what their resentment really is and you bid them “best wishes” in what they may be seeking to do further in their life. Fortunately, I must report that these messages are far and few in between and of course that is good. But that said, to simply blow off someone becuase they are the opposite gender sets a bad precidence in how you manage your friendships. True that it can be a squakey ground that they want to walk upon regarding a male-female relationship, but sometimes these can be professional or righteous personal relationships. In all, its your day that is to be decided by yourself and truly you are someone that must answer to Hashem and be happy with yourself. So if you think it is a pathway to a dark or licentious relationship, it is really upon you to be the strong being that will not let this happen to your soul. But a simple letter from an organized and well meaning person of the opposite gender is no reason to run into the corner and run away from your own self and run away from the day.
Thats my thought on this topic. I’m a doctor. Thats my policy.
Self esteem is improved with your capacity to help yourself and your capacity to solve your own problems. If you are disabled, your self esteem is determined by your capacity to trust in Hashem and your caretakers. That said, one must strive for a healthy self esteem. Positive thinking is a must. Clearly its all in your soul and your mind. But that said, I must confess that my self esteem clearly improved with more Torah study and with more adult acheivement and learning. I can not report that being a child with children who taunted one another and may have made one feel worthless was the most beneficial thing for your own self esteem, but like the people say today in regards to those who are bullied and have tough childhoods, “it does get better in the future”. So grab a book, study hard and think good thoughts. Talk to your Creator if that is something you think you can do. He wont reply to you in an audible manner, but maybe just maybe you’ll get a good feeling for how G-d regards your soul and your self acheivement and self sacrifices and thus you can gleam a hope of how you should indeed feel for real.
Personally I like the brand “Amys” which are frozen pizzas and kosher. They are about 7 dollars a piece I think maybe 8-9 and there are a few types. I like to put onions and anchovies on them too 🙂 Good stuff!
I am not sure what maarat ayin translates to, but I am guessing from the context that you are creating a situation where you are considered to be ‘evil’ for your wrongdoing and that you are not revealing the source of the discontent.
You clearly have no obligation to disclose your specifics if you are late to a meeting of a class, but to offer the participants who await for you a breif explanation that you were involved in another matter is a simple courtesy, if they seem to expect some explanation as to why you might not regard their time and commitments with a priority. But that said, this is a minor minor topic and I can assure you that your future in the world to come is not dependant upon how you present to your class where you have been but rather it is based on your total disposition in giving and caring for others. Best wishes.
The proper halachaicly thing to do is ask them if they want to talk about the coffee room on ywn and if they do you can ask them what name they post under, if that is to be something you will share with them including disclosing your identity. That you saw their open screen is no crime and it is a prelude to a conversation. If they want to be discrete that is not the place to do so. But that said, if they are not a friend of yours and you do not regularly have conversations, it is not your place to “confront” another person about his anonymous postings on the internet unless of course it is inflammatory and clearly it is the same person. So best wishes.
Living in a world of evil does not mean that you will be doing evil yourself. The evil inclination is to be conquered. You must face it head on and send it far from your soul. That said, the world may have evil influences, but that is NOT YOUR YETZER HARA. And the more you are attacked, the stronger you get.
Please for us who are ba’al tschuvah and not ffb, tell us what skeeva is please.
Kindle = awesome. Nook- slightly designed without real utility.
