It’s nekomoh! unless you mean to say, I’m not obligated to spend much more
than they spent for me.
But I dont do that. I try to be a Mentch “for myself” even when others are
not mentchlich.
hey jax, where they keep the sugar here? I dont use equal!
Who Cares: Welcome!
I already responded to ur Q in another post not knowing you were new.
now that i know, i’ll be extra sensitive for the next 5 min.
I’ll spare u the “we care” cuz u know we do.
Joseph: instead of standing around cheering, dig up a recipe or something! 😉
Who Cares: you can take a white carton box cut out windows & a door put in a light source(like those mini magnet blinking led lites)tape some pine branches,&
presto! a mini sukkah.
whoa! don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean it that way. That one should consider
themselves so special that a gift isn’t necessary? No way.
I was saying in general when you show up to a good friends wedding very late,
fress up & give a check, your not Yoitze is what i’m saying. It would be more
appreciated if one showed up on time, gave warm wishes & then a check.
I can’t speak for bochurim, they really dont have much money,
& it’s accepted that they dont give. Unless your very tight with the guy,
(feeling bad now for the guy who’s tight with everyone.)
but what they lack in money they give in Koichus, dancing away & sweating tons,
& singing till they’re hoarse, to be M’sameach Chosson V’kallah!!!
Shvigger, Shvigger, in the way,
How I wonder why you drei!
Up above the world so high,
Like a dark cloud in the sky.
Shvigger, Shvigger, in the way,
How I wonder why you drei!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When there’s nothing he shines upon,
Then you show your fearful sight.
Screaming, Yelling, through the night.
Shvigger, Shvigger, in the way,
How I wonder why you drei!
Lurking In the shadows deep,
Into my business you always creep.
How you never close your mouth,
even when the birds fly south.
Shvigger, Shvigger, if I may,
Why I wonder do you drei!
Shvigger, Shvigger, what a day!
How I wonder when you’ll pay!
.?? ??????? ??????
Jax: I cant believe the mods let you post your address!
they must be at mincha.
mepal: your “eeeeeeeeeeew!” should be directed @ areivim. Bli Ayin Horah!
maybe we should chip in & send him to culinary school. 😉
I decorate the walls with the shirts with the grape juice stains
that I couldn’t get from last year!
Jax: definitely, especially since you wrote ChUlent & hot potato kEEEgil,
I know it will be geshmak!!!
If you were serving chOlent & KUHgel I wud come only for the matzev. 🙂
areivim, I never heard any litvishe puting eggs in cholent, only
chassidim, I assumed it was a chasidishe zach!
are you telling me you know it’s a common practice across the board?
Jax: hey whats up? Although potatoes rock in a chulent, Idk if they would compliment
a potato salad. 🙂
squeak: do u put mayo in the eggsalad, or oil?
squeak: you must be chasidish!
haifagirl: they put up a picture of the Rebbe to be m’kayem “Teishvu Kein Taduru”
b’kitzur, just like they have a pic in their homes.
For true friends, the best gift is actually showing up on time & warm wishes,
for the rest, a check that doesn’t bounce. or cash that’s not counterfeit.
of course! & after that one, it wouldn’t hurt to say another one in thanks to HB”H
for the health that he grants us.
bygirl31: thanks, I was struggling there for a sec, oops! i mean second.
Thank u
It’s great to say a kapitol tehillim, but why assume the worst?
Perhaps a woman is having a baby & deserves a Mazel Tov!
We hav 2 think positive! I say if it’s a simcha, Mazel Tov!
& If C”V not please send them a Refuah Shleima
& I say a kapitol tehillim.
(I know, I know, a woman giving birth needs a refuah too)
squeak: I guess I never heard the whole joke!
mods: from what I can tell u prob hav to replace it 3 times a day! 😉
Some kids sing it..
Ben bag bag, Ben bag bag, Oy Vey!,
Ben bag bag, Ben bag bag, oy vey! oy vey!
(they mumble) haffaffaa haffaffaa oooh laa laa!
Ben bag bag, Ben bag bag, oy veyy!
bygirl31: cute! never heard it b4
from the recently closed Kapparos: Chickens, Fish, or Money?
This one made me laugh. joseph going head 2 head with MO.
modernorthodox said,
Just bec it’s a minhag don’t mean we hav 2 stick to it. We hav minds. G-d gave us minds 2 think & make decisions. A minhag is just a tradition. All religions hav traditions. It’s just the way they got used 2 doin things 4 various historical reasons.
Joseph said,
modernorthodox: The Reform agree with you!
modernorthodox said,
Joseph:
I’m not surprised. Every sect of Judaism has some good points & useful ideas.
I would never consider doing kaparos with a chicken. It is an old outdated custom. You wouldn’t see a respectful person like a Senator waving a chicken over his head! This isn’t the 15th century. Besides chickens r filthy & prob filled with germs.
Joseph said,
modernorthodox: Did u ever ask ur Rabbi if SHE agrees with u?
Reform isn’t Jewish, even though sum of their adherents are personally non-practicing Jews.
squeak: if you post a better version, we’ll put in a request to the mods
to cut my botched attempt (if that is possible)
Oy Vey! it goes better in yiddish, & it is somewhat lost in translation.
(or I just plain messed it up!)
but it would seem it is Litvishe joke not a Lubavitche joke.
cherrybim: there nothing wrong with using money, however,
doing kaparos with a chicken is an ancient holy minhag,
just bec u didnt see it by u & yours, doesn’t make it any less holy.
al pi kabalah there are many inyanim in this.
so please first educate yourself, & then form your opinions.
mepal;
& squeak; (if ur not offended)
Kabols Torah was called for 8:00am sharp!
The yekkes showed up at 7:59, so they were left with yekkishkeit,
The litvishe showed up at 8:00, so they were left with the torah,
by the time the chassidim showed up.. it was already 8:30 & everyone
was singing & dancing with joy upon receiving the holy torah!
…so the chassidim were left with the singing & dancing.
For those who are Machmir & want to be yotzei all shitos,
1) set aside some money,
2) with the money, buy a kosher fish,
3) go out & buy a chicken,
4) feed the fish to the chicken,
5) use the chicken for kaparos.
p.s. the fish has to be dried, ground & mixed into the chicken feed.
try my recipe, it’s quick.
take a cup of your favorite marinara sauce (pref no pieces)
just add a pinch of salt
1 tbsp. dry red wine
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. oil
1 tbsp. water
mix well & pour over meat.
Enjoy
so Jax: we finally managed to take our coffee break at the same time!
postsemgirl: Gut Shabbos/Yom Tov! & Chag “Ach” Same’ach!
ames is right. though the literal translation is thrown-out.
mybat: nobody should turn down an until they look into it,
though usually wen ppl say BT, the other assumes that the BT is from different backgrounds & upbringing & opposite type then what they’re looking,
though this assumption could be far from the truth.
haifagirl: wow! she didn’t seem to mind, lucky guy! maybe she thought
he’s a great catch, as he’s used going in circles, & wouldn’t mind it
when she did it to him.
oomis1105: I agree “to get good counseling both from a Rov AND a therapist”
mazca: as haifagirl said, depends if their civil to one another,
wen u asked ur Q i wasn’t thinking about shidduchim I was just thinking
in terms of it being healthier for the children not to be raised in a broken home,
but children are very perceptive, & can tell phoney acts.
If the parents are cussin & throwing dishes at each other,
the heck with shidduchim, their kids prob wont be able to STAY married
growing up in such a home, & just end it a.s.a.p. (if it cannot b saved.)
squeak: I aint a yekke, I take great offense to that!
j/k 🙂 we’re cool!
shtarkbocher: really? I wud think a yekke calls it chunt!
cuz It’s takes to much time to say chUlent!
Do you wait like 3 hours between chulent & cheese cake?
* the star represents humor.
BasYisroel2:
I was goin through an old post & saw ur post, I apologize for never getting back 2u.
To answer ur questions,
1) I find most of the time it’s the mother herself who takes a personal interest in the girls size.
read in bet. the lines. (my buddies dont care about sizes) if they’re slim they usually want a slimish girl.
Guys dont even comprehend womens sizes anyhow!
2) The picture thing, should go both ways, especially the way I figure it, is
when a guy is good looking the mother would request a pic to see if the girl, is too.
I don’t know why a guy who isn’t handsome would request a pic from a girl unless
he wants to be fair & make sure she’s as unhandsome as he is.
I don’t think it’s proper, or intelligent to judge by a pic,
for instance * I am very handsome, just not very photogenic.
Also, the camera adds at least ten pounds!
Did I mention I’m very humble.
Seriously though, if anyone party receives a request for a pic they have a right
to demand a pic from the other party as well & should not forward their pic in advance.
When MBD sings “there will be no more lonely Peepholes!
Why is he so worried about the peepholes?
& then Ohel took an intrest in the peepholes too!
Thats how famous MBD is, he mentions a cause & everybody jumps “onboard!”
squeak said; “Perhaps that’s why you guys don’t make it”?
….I take great offense to that!
1) I’ll have you know I make my own chulents.
2) Most of my friends make their own chulents as well!
3) (& this will get me in trouble) It is well know fact that most of the world
renown (best)chefs are ALL MEN!!!
4) All the best catered chUlents are made by men (maybe mexican lol!) but men.
NY Mom: Sorry, but it’s the good stuff. (under the counter)
you have to ask for it! But dont say it too loud just creep up to the counter
looking shifty, give the nod & mumble, Geb Mir Di Geshmakeh Fleish(meat).
However, if your butcher calls it chOlent, he’s not holding out on you,
He just aint got it.
Mod 26 thanks for that.
Joseph: I know, 🙂 but she wouldn’t have it.
His reaction left a bad impression.
I wish a G’mar Chasimah Toiva 2 all my friends & fellow YWN/Coffee Rumors & Mods.
I ask mechila if I offended anyone with any of my comments, however,
I do not apologize for any corny jokes I may have made.
Deal with it! 🙂
A Git Gebenchet Yuhr!
Dr. Pepper” I’m sure it happened more than once,
This story, however, is not one I heard “Ish mipi Ish”
I know the guy, as well as the girl.
P.S.It happened more than 8 years ago, & they’re both still single.
