“I think its a good idea to go to the dentist on Purim after a few lechayims.”
After the dentist has had a few lechayims? o.O No way.
Ateres … Naava? Just curious. I’m not the most knowledgeable with seminaries.
@rebyidd23 – Birds don’t have teeth, right?
My dentist lets me have a choice of music I listen to. Unfortunately, it’s a rather limited selection of children’s cassette tapes, like Sesame Street. I don’t know which sounds scarier: the dentist’s drill or Elmo’s voice. 😛 B”H, I take good care of myself post-Purim, and so does my dentist, so I rarely hear that drill.
@LAB – Come to think of it, the dentist’s drill sounds very similar to more “modern” music, complete with record scratches and other technologically-induced noises. No offense to Dr. Dreizech, of course!
I know it doesn’t apply to meat, but is “nosh” a Yiddish word? (As you can tell, Adar II is already on my subconscious.)
I was visiting by a goyishe friend and she did not know what I was talking about when I told her I could not eat the nosh she was offering me, because my halacha doesn’t let.
What I think? Hatzlacha rabbah!
From what I understand, a wife accepts the minhag of her husband when she marries. If you’re comfortable with that, that’s your decision to make.

@PBA – “Meanwhile I’ll daven v’lamalshinim al t’hi tikva.” I guess that works. 😛 Well said!
Is the cork supposed to cost 10 cents, or am I getting this wrong too? o.O

@WIY – I second that! If you’re being serious, you should definitely make sure you’re consulting with somebody who knows what they’re talking about.

I don’t know if said frum chassidisher mentch from Williamsburg would be open to using a computer with access to the worldwide web (and this is not at all intended to be condescending), but would he be interested in pursuing a program from an online career institution such as Penn Foster? I believe those guys like to see a high school diploma (or equivalent) before they accept people, so that would also have to be considered.

@writerwoul – Whew! The movies were definitely a bit intense, yes. I found what I read of the innuendo in Hitchhiker’s Guide to be a bit much, so I’m assuming Discworld is either equally suggestive or less so. (Or worse?)

Babies don’t have teeth, remember? 😛 But, truly, babies, like children older than they, are susceptible to sugar-highs leading to extreme hyperactivity; therefore, they should be given water.
Truthfully, water rehydrates the body and quenches thirst with no strings attached or fine print. Juices, while occasionally containing some vitamins and minerals (orange juice is good for when you have a cold), have other side-effects, and while it tastes pretty good, I can’t say I feel any less thirsty afterwards. In fact, it makes me thirstier.
Parents, do you want your babies to KEEP CRYING because they’re STILL THIRSTY after you’ve fed them fruit juice?
Believe me, I speak with experience. I was both a baby and a child older than a baby once (but not necessarily at the same time).
@writersoul – I will try that! 😀 Question: is there any inappropriate stuff that I should be aware of? Cassandra Clare’s Infernal Devices books, for example, made me feel sick, so that’s where I stand when it comes to maturity. As for violence, I survived Lord of the Rings (all 1,000+ pages of it) and then the movies without any lasting trauma. I thought I heard that some of Pratchett’s books have some strong language, but if it isn’t of an immoral nature, I shouldn’t mind too much.
@secretagentyid – Welcome, although I can’t exactly express it on behalf of the club yet. 🙂
Thanks, writersoul. 🙂 I am probably going to have a hard time resisting the urge to start with book one, but I definitely want to read Death’s stories. (I only heard of Discworld after someone mentioned the character Death to me.)

Hello everybody! Don’t be offended, but I can’t yet admit to being a member of this fine establishment, as I haven’t even read any Discworld books yet.
But that’s why I’m here. I want to be.
Can anybody tell me what the VERY FIRST Discworld book is so I can start the series from book 1? I’m curious because I don’t want to get confused starting at some random point in the series.
Does it help that I know what a wee freeman looks like?
+1, Shopping! Achdus among the Jewish people keeps this world running smoothly. Just imagine how creaky and rusty it’s gotten in the last couple thousand years….
I think that you’re doing fine to interact with what people see as “different” Jews. You seem like a strong individual who isn’t easily peer-pressured; they can’t make you change your lifestyle and they are probably glad that you aren’t just there to “mekarev” them or otherwise try to change
emtheiremlifestyle.Mmmmmmmmmm! That sounds so good!
@DaasYochid – Seriously? :O I must visit that. 😀
@Torah613Torah – Ketchup chicken…. I must taste that. I’m sure it would taste good as schnitzel.
If I express sympathetic views in the ketchup-hating thread (as there are some foods I just won’t eat with ketchup because those specific combinations taste gross) would you hold it against me?
@notasheep = Gosh, that isn’t even a religion! From what I’m seeing here, it’s all just a candy-coated way of justifying one’s foolish actions or notions couched in the guise of “religious practice.”
@Naftush – Based on what you’ve just pointed out, it doesn’t sound all that different from most sects of xianity. They want your money and they find some self-justified way to obtain it, be it extortion from their members’ sins or saying up-front that you need to do something so ridiculous as handing all of your savings over to a so-called place of worship.
I believe there is more than one celebrity actor who is involved in the scientology cult. At least people like him can afford to partake. Otherwise, it’s so sickeningly obviously dangerous.
Oh, and on a parting note, actors may *play* smart people on the big microwave screen, but those are merely characters. The people themselves may or may not be as intelligent, aka they just might fall for something so ridiculous.
@Goq – With cholent, I’d think Goldie “Lox” would be concerned with the done-ness of the beans. 😛
@Burnt Steak – I was about to say the same thing, but was a little afraid to. 😛 If I’d read the book, I’d say “This book’s for buying, even if you’re just reading in the dark.”
But I haven’t read the book yet and now I really want to.
Which president would you buy a car from? Nixon or Obama?
@Syag – “since he cooked and served, I am willing to wash the dishes 🙂 “
That works. 🙂
Otherwise, HE’D BETTER WASH ‘EM!!
@BoysWork – I am cracking up. It’s one thing to ask a pregnant woman “Are you with child?” but that’s kind of old-fashioned, poetic, and a bit needless, since it’s already obvious that a pregnant woman is pregnant if you can call her a pregnant woman. That’d better make sense.
Mazel tov! May you have only good tidings from now on. 🙂
Hi, ARWSF. 🙂 Mazel tov!
I highly recommend Boggle. Mastermind is also great. They’re nice, brain-boggling (no pun intended) games that you can play when you’re tired without getting too much of a headache, and they’re perfect for two players.
Don’t worry, I won’t tell. 😉
@live right – Yes. And the bashing goes both ways. People feel they need to bash those who do not *seem* as “frum” as they *seem.* Don’t they get it? Not everyone is capable of the things you are, and some people are even more capable. Don’t begrudge them that. I bet they are genuinely trying as hard as they can to (excuse the pun) live right. 🙂
@streekgeek, regarding F.R.U.M. – So true, unfortunately.
@Sanity – Yes! I’m proud to be Jewish, and I don’t like trying to blend into a crowd unless I’m being followed by someone.
