coke, I don’t think your fellow members would appreciate it 🙂
moish – It’s thursday night. Aren’t you supposed to give a dvar torah?
moish – I have officialy retired. The CR artistry job is all yours. Do us proud!
Editor – feeling left out that we never welcomed you?
intellegent: am i growing or am i broken?
moish,
emotionally – growing
physcially – broken (…the leg, I meant)
ames: curious is going to hate you moish, i’d watch my back if i were you
moish01: don’t worry i’ll take up karate if i need to. curious is gonna be shepping
ames, why the negativity?
moish, good job with the positivity! And yes, I am very proud of my student!
(BTW, I’d think twice about challenging me to karate, especially after letting your muscles waste away these days!) 🙂
asdf – I am highly insulted 🙁
Take any recipe and substitute sugar with splenda. Presto!
I know I’m brilliant, you don’t have to tell me.
What about the obvious – winter semester break is over. School has officially re-begun! YW is no longer a top priority, (at least for the first day or two!)
Nice job on the artwork everyone!!
RoshYeshiva – everytime I think of that turnpike barrier I start laughing out loud, literally 🙂
Attention CR posters: This is an official notice to all posters. DO NOT attempt to replace the current mechitzah, carefully crafted by RoshYeshiva. We will not use any other replacements. Thank you.
I’m shepping nachas from your artwork 🙂
do we get a definition for splendiferously???
extraordinarily or showily impressive
What ever happened to the board meeting?
ames – I think squeak meant does he know about the CR?
asdf – so was I!! 🙂
the ezras nashim in the cr will be very fuller than the mens side!!!!!!
That’s because there’s more women than men, right? I’m hoping you weren’t inferring anything else…
asdf – I’ll look at it in a positive light. How wonderful are the CR women who put aside time to daven, despite the lesser chiyuv compared to the men.
Same source as above:
THREE CATEGORIES OF INFORMATION with regard to shidduchim:
#1 – Objective, Essential Information
This type of info falls under the category of “lo saamod al dam rayecha”. Provided that all the rules of lashon hora l’toeles are met, this info must not be witheld, and it must be volunteered even if you are not directly asked.
This type of info includes any faults that are detrimental to establishing a Jewish home, a happy maariage and wholesome relationship. Included is seriously flawed character traits, immodesty, lack of religious commitment, and definite health or emotional problems.
#2 – Subjective, Essential Information
This refers to middos, personality, intellect, age, learning, etc. = info that is important but not crucial. You must tell the truth if asked, but you don’t have to volunteer the info if not asked. Unless you are sure that what you have to share will be detrimental to building a happy Jewish home, then refrain from sharing that info until you can clarify the matter.
#3 – Unique, Personal Preferences
This includes minor issues that do not stand in the way of a happy marriage. Example provided: a young lady only wants to date someone who will share her love of music. If someone asks you about a young man, and you know that he does not love music, how do you respond? If asked directly about this, you may honestly respond, and this does not violate rechilus, even though the shidduch will most likely be nixed. You may not lie regarding this matter, however you may choose to refrain from answering the question if you think the shidduch still stands a good chance.
Some more shidduchim and shmiras halashon points: (source: shidduch addendum to the Chofetz Chaim: A Daily Companion)
– If you have negative information to relate about a prosepctive shidduch, yet you know that the person inquiring will not heed your advice, then do not disclose that info.
– If you decide not to continue with a shidduch based on info you heard, you may not repeat this info to anyone else, even to the shadchan. An exception to this – “unless there is a clear purpose”, i.e. “in order to prevent another person from falling into a bad situation”.
asdf – don’t forget the turnpike barrier!!
CRD – I think google will be a better option for your zoo search than YWN.
the emperor’s new post
JayMatt – I like that line!
On a way more serious note, I think the best shadchanim can be found by word-of-mouth. Shkoyach, I’m hesitant to name private shadchanim’s names on this site, both because of my own and their own privacy.
One thing that I’ve learnt the hard way, if you meet the shadchan personally (forget the pics) the suggestions will be a lot more on target. There’s nothing like a 3 minute personal meeting for the shadchan to get a feel for your personality.
I’m off to daven mincha, will have you all in mind bl”n. (though it ain’t a substitute for yours!) 🙂
Ok, thanks for the clarification Itzik. I’ve only starting toiveling aluminum in the past year or two, though I’ve never heard of toiveling plastic. Even now with the popular plastic “silver” utensils that a lot of people reuse, I’ve never heard of toiveling it.
72 – I figured as much, no offense taken. 🙂
moish – if you can excel at that, then you will be far ahead of a lot of other people. Not judging others’ frumkeit —> being dan l’kaf zchus —> less lashon hara and rechilus —> more positive conversations —-> happier and freindlier world.
Is that the same deal as disposable foil pans that you’d like to reuse?
ames – combine it with mincha too, it’s getting late.
72 – Yes! I do! Snow, ice, running outdoors without dripping sweat, skiing, tubing, igloos, snowball fights!
And I love the spring and fall and summer too. What’s there not to love about the outdoors?
This didn’t get approved on the zoo thread, assuming cuz it was off topic, although it was directly related to the conversation there. Please, PLEASE, kindly, do not ever judge anyone else’s frumkeit. You have no idea what’s in their heart. If you must judge, keep it to yourself and please don’t share it with anyone else.
Thank you.
The entire conversation there was off topic. I kept the thread open only for those who want to discuss Zoos. YW Moderator-72
One doesn’t get jealous of her students. Isn’t there a chazal for that? Or that’s only for a father not getting jealous of his son?
congrats coke, you did it!!!
qwerty:
1 – At the start of your post, type in these two characters `. (if you can’t see it, it’s a backtick
and then a period)2 – Then paste your graphic of choice
3 – Then, on the next line, again put a backtick character.
Don’t be scared to try. The worst that will happen is that your post won’t get approved. (Though the mods seem to be in a good mood today) 🙂
qwerty – sorry, I didn’t see your name on the list of board members.
coke – put a backtick and period on the first line.
Then paste the graphic.
On your last line, place another backtick.
This will maintain the spacing between your characters. (Once again, this is all ICOT’s teachings, not my own.)
🙂 Glad to see your sense of humor, editor.
Editor, care to be specific?
LOL moish. You messed up the page! I warned you… I take no responsibility for this.
Are you working for the Gallup poll?
To keep this on topic:
I’m confused. Isn’t mogen av guys, and Heller girls? Or do they have 2 divisons of Heller?
Hey mods, did you just change the “edit” button function that it’s available longer? I like it!
can’t wait to see what fun stuff you can all come up with… Give it a try!
moish – when you get to choose the font, go to the first choce “Test All’ and that will display all the possible fonts!

Don’t like that idea? Didn’t think so. Then I’m with jphone’s idea 🙂
asdf – was that you who mailed me the official CR board nomination?
Ok moish and the rest of you curious kids. I definitely got to keep my word about a fun site. (The mods are gonna bless me for this)
Check this one out:

Remember to copy the text to notepad and replace all backticks with apostrophes before pasting into the YW reply. Also, if the text is wider than the given space here, you will mess up the page…
If he has laces – he’s wasting precious time from what could be spent learning.
If he has slip ons – he’s lazy!
I got asked by a shadchan – On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your frunmkeit?
Arachim and Gateways seminars (Hebrew or English) have great lectures reconciling seeming contradictions between science and Torah. Most of it is geared for the non-religious corwd, but is eye opening for everyone.
ICOT – too much junk calories! 🙂
Does that put me in category 2 – preaches what she doesn’t always pracitce? Maybe I’m category 3 cuz I haven’t had a non-wholewheat pizza in a really long time, so I am pretty careful.
Joseph – when you start jogging/running you’ll be invited back to this thread…
moish – I hereby give up my title as CR artist 🙁
