RisingSun613: I think you need someone who knows you personally and is familiar with the sem to guide you.
147: Stenhouse, actually.
‘segregated’! hee hee. This isn’t America, y’know.
I believe Motzei Shabbos is just a few minutes earlier than it was. Still very late.
January 22, 2012 2:19 pm at 2:19 pm in reply to: Help! Where to go on a date in Yerushalayim tomorrow? #845395chocandpatienceMember“there is an invention called an umbrella…….”
with just an umbrella, it aint a good idea to go on a date outdoors in this weather.
chocandpatienceMemberIt’s not helpful if an anon someone here says they know them.
you need to get personal recommendations made by people you know.
It’s not difficult to invent emotionally touching pleas for help.
January 21, 2012 8:05 pm at 8:05 pm in reply to: Real Brisker – The Captain Of The Troll Patrol #845123chocandpatienceMemberBT he didn’t take it on. He dropped it.
OT, I know, but ‘Imanonov’ always strikes me as Russian at first glance
chocandpatienceMemberoneofmany: i thought so too.

chocandpatienceMembersee you later, overtaker, i’m an undertaker
January 19, 2012 9:07 pm at 9:07 pm in reply to: Would you post NEGATIVE Info about yeshiva/Sem/Camps?? #1193681chocandpatienceMemberzahavasdad: “Very few things in life are 100% good and 0% bad . its much more nuanced”
now that I very much agree with. There’s some bad in every good and some good in every bad.
It’s also very relative – what’s good for me may be bad for you [yeshiva, camp or other]. But I don’t know you and you don’t know me, so my info can’t really help you much.
chocandpatienceMemberbombmaniac has re-incarnated and is still very prolific
You should have spotted him by now. 🙂
chocandpatienceMember“Squeak, do you want to know as much as your husband?”
Hee hee! This is not the first time.
chocandpatienceMemberyitayningwut: isn’t ferd more like an idiot rather than a wild animal?
January 19, 2012 1:29 am at 1:29 am in reply to: Real Brisker – The Captain Of The Troll Patrol #845111chocandpatienceMemberrb: I know. that’s what i meant
chocandpatienceMemberkoachshtika: thank you. At least I got one hit. I thought there would be thousands 🙂
January 18, 2012 7:44 pm at 7:44 pm in reply to: Real Brisker – The Captain Of The Troll Patrol #845107chocandpatienceMemberHe should be sub-titled ‘Troll’s Bane’
I dunno whether he’ll give up the tea or coffee, so it can be done to un-subbed third name. 🙂
chocandpatienceMemberAvi K: C’mon. Some statistics, please. What % of chareidim meet your description?
longarekel: I think that most secular Jews in Israel are convinced that all charedim hate them. Barring, of course, those they know personally. Those are obviously exceptions.
And most chareidim are convinced that all secular Jews hate them. Barring, of course, those they know personally. Those are obviously exceptions.
Again, I wonder what the actual statistics are.
Why oh why do so many people work with feelings instead of hard facts?
chocandpatienceMemberbelge: you did already.
chocandpatienceMemberthat’s just the kind of misunderstanding I wanted to correct.
did you actually read the article?
The anti-charedi sentiment in the Israeli media is not a spontaneous reaction to various incidents. It’s a premeditated campaign with a specific intention.
mehadrin buses and beit shemesh spitters are irrelevant.
chocandpatienceMemberGAW: meaning?
chocandpatienceMemberibump needs a new subtitle: ‘iBump threads iLike, too’
chocandpatienceMemberyichusdik: I don’t see the proof. Who says it’s not despite what we do?
Have a look at the Shlosh Esrei Middos.
chocandpatienceMemberca: it isn’t. why do you think it is??
chocandpatienceMemberpopa, you beat me to it
chocandpatienceMemberDY: of course you’re kidding. You promised to be on your best behaviour.
January 11, 2012 8:48 pm at 8:48 pm in reply to: Can you explain to me how YOU read a thread, in general, please? #843740chocandpatienceMemberBTGuy: “Reading threads…..sewing confusion….lol “
hey, I missed that!
January 11, 2012 8:10 pm at 8:10 pm in reply to: Can you explain to me how YOU read a thread, in general, please? #843737chocandpatienceMemberi do like working through the threads, watching the give and take and getting to know each poster’s opinion. I find it fascinating to see the different ways in which people respond.
it’s made difficult by the fact that people don’t quote the post they are answering (a pet peeve) and that posts are later deleted
(the very prolific and mysterious ames sowed confusion in many on old thread by leaving and taking all her posts with her)
chocandpatienceMemberreal-brisker account still blocked.
petition unsuccessful.
time for strong-arm tactics. ideas, anyone
chocandpatienceMemberzahavasdad: be accurate. Where does it say that Haagen Daze has been ‘declared traife’?
“You must not like Ice Cream”
from the JPost article ‘love G-d more than ice-cream’
chocandpatienceMemberJoseph: I think what is disturbing real-brisker is a black mark on his record, not that he needs that account in particular.
chocandpatienceMembercrazybrit: why are you up at 3 in the morning?!! 🙂
chocandpatienceMembernuuu? Where is everyone.
We want 1000 signitures by midnight.
(I get $10 per sig.)
chocandpatienceMemberHaLeivi: I was going to make a start on the Haleivi and ruffruffs if this petition proved successful and financially rewarding.
chocandpatienceMemberprobably obvious, but it’s worth paying a nominal sum to get a lawyer to help you, if necessary.
zahavasdad: your post is irrelevant here. read the OP. We’re talking about the tax wrongfully demanded. Israeli customs are good at that.
chocandpatienceMemberAs said above, get advice before paying.
Also try janglo (janglo.net?) for the anglo population in Israel.
January 9, 2012 8:14 pm at 8:14 pm in reply to: Very disturbing, please only kind people read. #842394chocandpatienceMemberAlways Runs: “But more than just running the show, do u know what bothers me? It’s the burial of the dream that we could really be happy, whole and healthy together… “
It’s painful to let go of any dream, certainly one as basic as that. But you don’t need to do that. Perhaps just put it to one side now and work on other dreams over which you have control – such as becoming the type of person you want to be.
gavra_at_work: very good suggestion.
January 9, 2012 7:59 pm at 7:59 pm in reply to: Very disturbing, please only kind people read. #842392chocandpatienceMemberDerech HaMelech: You come across as an even-tempered and emotionally stable person and so you must have successfully dealt with the childhood experiences you mentioned.
If you’ve no objections, perhaps you could share some survival tips and suggestions.
chocandpatienceMemberDY: They know there is a hole. If they don’t plug it, that’s their fault. I’m surprised it hasn’t been used maliciously before.
They could unblock you and just ‘punish’ you by giving you a sub-title. Then, at least with that SN, you couldn’t disguise yourself! 🙂
chocandpatienceMembersorry, here’s the link
chocandpatienceMemberDY: why and in which thread were you blocked?
didn’t see that thread.
here’s the link rb gave
theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/i-feel-guity/page/2
though page 1 is retrospectively confusing.
Should we all turn ourselves into DYs in protest?
chocandpatienceMember72: I wasn’t referring to charlatans and pseudo-hechsherim. Of course anyone can afix their ‘hechsher’ sticker.
I meant when the ‘sticker hechsher’ was a recognised reliable hechsher. I didn’t make myself clear.
chocandpatienceMemberill_be_strong: I have never heard that talking about a person unknown to both sides could be LH.
Source, please?
chocandpatienceMembermikehall: “My point was other than a sticker, there is no difference, no separate runs…everything is exactly the same….”
a sticker would [usually? always?] mean that there has been a separate run or different supervision. It’s just cheaper than producing different packaging.
chocandpatienceMemberand reading the long list of ingredients on a standard choc bar, I cannot believe that this is such a product.
chocandpatienceMemberyitayningwut:
I’d think that the cases where one *can* judge a food by its ingredients would be limited to very specific products (basic foods with few sub-ingredients or processing?).
To do that, one would need to be enough of a kashrus expert
to make it non-viable for the layman.
chocandpatienceMemberzahavasdad: in London, you mean the London Beis Din List – a list of foods checked by them. I’m not sure what point you want to make, but that proves the point of those who say you *cannot* judge a food by its ingredients listing.
From their website:
‘”The Really Jewish Food Guide” listing over 6,500 products whose status has been approved by the Beth Din on the basis of research by our Food Technologists into ingredients, processing aids, and any shared use of equipment… ‘
chocandpatienceMemberzahavasdad “Seriosuly I think in Europe and Australia they rely on lists and ingrediants and not Hechsherim “
I’m from Europe. I didn’t know that.
chocandpatienceMembersoliek: I know the feeling, but doubt it in your case – you always have something interesting to add.
chocandpatienceMemberI’ve only once tried an early morning breakfast on a fast day. I went back to sleep and woke up *ravenous* – far more hungry than I usually would be at that time. Don’t know why that should be or if it was connected.
chocandpatienceMembermazal77: Not so. There are of course hechsherim on food in England
What you probably mean is the London Beis Din yearly list. It lists foods (without their hechsher) which they have checked into and consider kosher.
Besides for that there are plenty foods with a LBD hechsher and there are other hechsherim too.
chocandpatienceMemberImanonov – This one of yours is most relevant. It should be posted in bold at the start of the various current threads:
“2. If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed … if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.
— Mark Twain “
chocandpatienceMemberMod 80 dropped by and then disappeared again. Anyone notice?
chocandpatienceMember“I guess they don’t want anyone to be able to do it, because someone could copy another’s screen name. “
DY: I emailed them that problem a while ago, but didn’t get a response. They should make nickname unique.
OneOfMany: Others have had problems with that link – it looks like it works for some accounts but not for others. If it doesn’t work, then I guess your only hope is to get a mod to do it.
Alternatively, donate to Kupat HaIr and try again.
