    noitall – they do “know it all.” or at least a lot of it! but a smart woman lets a guy think HE’S the one in control. so us women tend to be more discreet.

    well if you’re using organic potatoes and organic oil, there’s no reason in the world why latkes shouldn’t be in first place. fattening? yes. but at least they’re food. (not to mention that my hamantaschen are whole wheat and organic too – so they’re practically like food for most of you anyway…)

    notice i waited till now to post. if we only get one post in 24 hours a couldn’t do it in the first ten minutes 😉

    Mr. Brown – i don’t do yiddish. all i understood from that post is “rabbosei” “nisht” “internet” “rav avigdor miller ZTL” and “beis medrash”

    not gonna get me too far. you mind trying that in hebrew?

    ugh that is disgusting. i remember a teacher that couldn’t give out papers without licking her fingers first. i always took the bottom one – praying that by the time she touched the last one it wore off…

    yeah well we to fix that we just cut out meat and fried junk. then we could eat as much chocolate as necessary. (or possible. same thing in my world!)

    yeah well what does flirting mean? it’s all virtual anyway, right? so the qualifications are not gonna be regular. i think any unnecessary or off topic questions fit the bill. even if unintentional, that’s be’etzem what they are. agreed?

    myshadow – that “usually” kinda answers the question. we should really be asking ourselves “would i be saying this to someone from the other gender in person? or am i taking advantage cuz it’s online?” just as a side point, though – there are so many different levels within the CR so this is likely to turn into another debate.

    joseph couldn’t join the FBI if he tried. he’s got “secret agent” written all over him which makes it obvious that he’s a fraud.

    all you chocolate fans are such fakers! how about dark chocolate?? ANY chocolate! i always joke that i’d eat cocoa if i ran low on chocolate… lol not sure if it’s really a joke or not… i’ll let you all know. don’t get me wrong – milk chocolate’s great. but REAL chocoholics don’t limit themselves 😉

    it goes back to what i said about the difference between a “genius” and a “godol.” i think i sid it on a different thread. (i can’t remember anymore.)

    and anyway, when i said that they probably know what they’re talking about i was not comparing them to anyone. just stating a fact. sorry for the miscommunication!

    i didn’t say assur. i have a phone. but i think that as long as it’s unnecessary, why risk it. yes, when they get older they could do whatever they want. but in a way it’s more risky when they’re kids.

    xerox – keep it up. i just checked them out. seems like they’re high in antioxidants, prevent strokes and heart attacks and also prevent cancer from spreading! from what i read, there is no proof that hot peppers cause ulcers. enjoy!

    i forgot who it was, but a heard that the concept of “tinok shenishba” barely exists in the world anymore because most secular jews are exposed to frumkeit somewhere along the line. i could find out for you if you’re interested.

    i have a question on that too, though. what does “exposed to” mean? plenty of people are exposed to the wrong side of things and therefore perceive it in a bad light. kinda not fair to a guy living way out in hawaii who never heard of torah before in his life. does that count? i wonder.
