And the kids just don’t understand.
Mickey Mouse is getting overweight. I need to go shopping before my pet leopard eats the goldfish.
@DDD – Gut voch. π
Let it go! Let it go! Can’t hold it back anymore!
Aren’t graham crackers delicious? I’m going to miss them when Pesach comes ’round.
A makom Torah = a Bible place.
I wish kosher Doritos were kosher for Pesach for everyone….
V’ahavta l’reichacha kamocha.
Mmmmmmm, pizza.
Old McDonald had a farm, eieio.
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s— It’s a bird. T_T
Like totally what-EVER!
So they call you Papa, not Popa? Well, I guess that makes sense, since no respectable Jewish kid calls their respectable Jewish parent by their first screen name…. π
Silence will fall….. >;)
Aw, I’d always assumed it was the neighborhood toughs wandering through my street, so drunk that they couldn’t hold their wine bottles upright. My neighbors must really hate me! o.O
I chose my name because my first post ever was an inquiry about a book. π
Well, I wouldn’t let it by MY last supper.
@Mods who hate outside links – I happened upon a user whose screen name directed to an outside site. How do you reconcile that?
Hamas
ABC News
@no longer need seminary help – I heard some of the songs, which I liked very much. Idina Menzel has been blessed with an amazing voice.
@rebyidd23 – And so does Sherlock Holmes.
This is for when nfg03 sees this:
This thread title also reminds me of another old song…. π
What I really want is pre-spread jelly. It always falls off the knife in big globs, doesn’t spread well with a spoon, and I’m not even going to try using a fork!
@DikDukDuck – Then what did you just do…? π
I’ve posted, therefore I do.
@nfgo3 – LOL, no. π But I should hope to live to that age!
@nfgo3 – YES! That’s the one!! π
I don’t think I’d have the time to enjoy strawberries — I would attempt to start the conversion process ASAP!
18 month olds have always been pushing buttons and turning doorknobs and locking people out. Nothing new. If anything, they’re becoming more capable if they knowingly turn on the TV set with the intention of doing so.
But that, jewishfeminist02, is a non sequitur with the claim that smartphones are the best for everyone. So keep using your regular phone. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise if that isn’t what you need!
@VM – +1
Oh, and maybe I’m naive, but I’ve seen computer games that are far more exciting than app games. And while I’ll play them from time to time, I’m not addicted to computer games.
Smartphones are very handy. I’m not going to launch into a rant about addiction, but I can see why it can take a lot of focus to work one properly.
I mean, how does anyone with normal-sized fingers type on those screens? Fruit Ninja’s easy, but I would never try to write an essay on one of those things…. Although evidence suggests that some people have given up trying to deal with autocorrect’s 100% accurate (note the sarcasm) automatic suggestions, it’s a painstaking process trying to type out a coherent sentence on one of those tiny touchscreens.
And for that reason only, I believe they should be called stupid phones. Or, they’re smart phones for people who have become stupid? Or maybe smart phones make smart people feel stupid because they wrack their brains and tear our their hair in frustration due to the aforementioned reason?
A certain old song comes to mind…. I just can’t remember how it goes. π
@Shopping – Aw. π Sorry. I think I understand what you mean – while they are definitely quite associated with Chabad, they don’t appear to impose any Chabad ideals. Not that I’ve seen, anyways.
Why not start an independent blog to share your writings? I guess that’s like self-publishing, but digitally. π
@Shopping, want to try Yaldah Magazine? I hear they’re exclusively online now, but they might still accept writings. π
Mazel tov, Syag! π
@rebyidd23 – I never thought about it that way. π What do you suppose life would be like if people called us by our screen names in real life?
Let’s hope double-posting is allowed. And unintentional bumping.
I’ve heard this one way too often: “You want?”
And of course, the classic “Does your mommy let?”
“Maybe some people get drunk to the point that they don’t even know the difference between a midah and an aveirah. π “
*mitzvah
Freilechen Shushan Purim. π I drank only soda.
But Popa, I was going to give you apricot hamentaschen…. π Well, more for me, I guess. π
Happy Shushan Purim. I spent my Purim away from the CR, unfortunately. Did I miss anything exciting?
Are all rants lashon hara, though…?
@akuperma – Me too! OMG, we must be related!!
@jackinthebox – Then there must be a lot of drunk people here. π
I believe it denotes people who attended or sent their sons to yeshiva, but that’s fairly general.
Maybe some people get drunk to the point that they don’t even know the difference between a midah and an aveirah. π
@homer – I’ve done that too, especially when they’ve been out in the hot sun all day.
@jbaldy – *facepalm* IKR?
A belated mazel tov to Anon4This and his kallah! π
Preface – I didn’t read The Frumguy’s comment when I first wrote this, so let’s see if it still makes sense:
Slightly related, (theoretically,) especially in a situation where a person is not in such a good financial situation themselves, how is one supposed to respond when Israeli tzedaka collectors are given a decent amount of money and then ask (or even demand) for more?
Some people seem to think that Americans living in Israel are rich, therefore they should be singled out more than other Jews in Israel for tzedaka collecting. *shakes my head*
@morahmom – Exactly. Ultimately, Peninah’s actions were what set things in motion, but theoretically, there’s always at least good way and at least one bad way to go about doing something. I think Peninah, with good intentions, ended up choosing a less-than-ideal approach in motivating Channah to pray harder for a baby.
Of course, who am I to question Hashem’s decision to have things turn out this way? Gam zu letovah. Maybe by having things happen this way, not only did Channah become motivated to pray harder; maybe Peninah improved herself in some way as well. Perhaps it was concerning how to properly motivate a fellow Jew to pray with loads of kavannah. I bet she didn’t repeat that approach after that.
Thanks for the chizuk, TAOM. I’m smiling and I hope to for two do so for two months straight. ^_^
If I could figure out how, I’d be doing coconut cake “fish fingers” and custard. The only problem is, the only “custard” I can imagine would last sitting in a gift bag unrefrigerated for some time as I prepare at least a day in advance are those awful vanilla pudding cups that the stores don’t even bother putting on a refrigerated shelf.
What do you get when ten of those despicable minions get together to daven mincha?
A Minion Minyan.
“Email this to all of your friends or you’ll have six more weeks of winter.”
The worst jokes are always prefaced or epilogued with something along those lines. They’d be good if not for that. π
All houses are incapable of shoveling. It is the people inside who are supposed to.
What about the small, skinny jerks?
Why not? π
Mazel tov, Oomis. π
Gryffindorable – And sell them on the tooth fairy black market? π
@Gryffindorable Girl – IKR? :{D (note the mustachioed smiley face)
@Avram – I was referencing a BBC television adaption of Sherlock Holmes’ adventures, parodied and set in the 21st century. Watson is an emotionally scarred former army doctor with a yearning for adventure and Holmes is a highly-functioning sociopath with an amusing perspective on things. But if you haven’t seen the show already, I wouldn’t recommend getting into it. There were some aspects of the show that I probably would’ve been repulsed by if I’d known of them beforehand.
The books are much better, believe me. π
Take it from the world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes.
Step One: Obtain yellow spray paint.
Step Two: Use spray paint to draw a smiley face on a wall you don’t particularly care about. Omit the eyes.
Step Three: Use any instrument which projects projectiles (such as a nerf gun, as we want this to be safe and within a normal person’s budget) to project projectiles into the smiley face where the eyes should be.
Step Four: Repeat steps One through Three until your landlady objects.
Popa … goes to seminary?
Sorry, I’m taking this in rather slowly.
@aishes chover – “My husband’s favorites are my kids’ leftovers; that’s why I make sure to serve it to him every night. “
