    The thought of what has been accomplished, is the death of what can be accomplished.

    I want to throw a twist into this pizza thread. In order to make the pizza “mezonos” it has to be made with liquid other than water. Most companies will use juice. Mendelsons Pizza (and you can check the ingredients on their frozen line) uses juice/milk. Whether or not pizza is mezonos is not my point.

    My issue is does this make it “milchig bread” which is assur? in regards to the pizza it’s not a problem as the milchig dough is baked with a heker i.e. the cheese on top which makes it permissible to make. However they use the same ingredients for their Pizza Bagels; juice/milk. For pizza bagels they surely don’t bake the bagel together with the cheese on it, they bake the bagel THEN they put the cheese on top. Hence there was a “Milchig Bagel” which was assur.

    Shave more often. You’ll feel better when you look more presentable.

    We had the old type of light fixtures in our classroom – the ones that are suspended with cables from the ceiling – and there was one that was directly on top of where the teacher sat. in the middle of the winter right before class started we put a snowball on top of the light and ….. drip…….drip…… Ha! Ha!

    To explain what BP Totty is saying:

    Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics follow at the scene of an accident when they come across your cell phone.

    ICE – ‘In Case of Emergency’

    We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

    If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn’t know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this ‘ICE’ (In Case of Emergency) Campaign the concept of ‘ICE’ is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell(mobile) phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name ‘ICE’ ( In Case Of Emergency).

    The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as ‘ICE.’

    For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

    Let’s spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!

    Wellinformedyid says “Besides why would a frum married woman want to attract the eyes of other married men? I will be dan lekaf zchus that that is not their intention because if it is then we have very huge problems on our hands.”

    I’m hesitant to call you naive, but i think if there isn’t such a problem yet then it’s pretty close to being a problem. How about when there is a congregation of couples; isn’t this lack of tznius going to lead to problems? or similar situations?
