I don’t understand your question! If the person your dating would care WHY would you keep iit a secret? Just to make further trouble? And If they would not care, WHY would you mind letting them know?
Most people would care, and would likely not agree to even go out if they knew. (Not that anyone is at fault for a mental health issue, but that’s human nature.) The idea of waiting to tell is that the other person might agree to overlook an issue once they have gotten to know the person. Yet, it would be unfair tho let it go too far without disclosing an issue.
Am I the only fan?
I liked the wasabi.
As I said, great idea!
Thanks.
Nope.
What if you gave your masser money to another young man in your situation who couldn’t afford to date to help him get married, and then he did the same for you. Wouldn’t that be a way of using masser money as a chessed and tzedaka? Is that a possible loophole to this dilemma?
Yes, sounds good, but then he’d feel that his friend doesn’t need to go to such a fancy restaurant!
What? I can’t hear you. Can you please type louder?
Should a girl whose brother(s) are not up to your standards, not be good enough for you even if she herself is a prize jewel in every way? it’s time to stop over-analyzing everything, and start evaluating a person based on his/her own merits.
See Rashi, Shemos, 6-23
Ken,
Actually, I abbreviated the story; as I originally heard it, the prospective shver said he would farher him by having R’ Yonoson say a shtickel torah on a random page opened in a random sefer, and the inn where they met had only a siddur.
You should give the $40 to the owner of the ice cream store.
What does that have to do with this?
The Wolf
Just a little joke – my way of saying that I don’t think you owe the money, as I felt on the ice cream question (someone responded to that one that it would be tzedaka).
The majority of the times, my intention when I returned the money it was almost akin to a juvenile (yes, I can act that way sometimes) “tag, you’re it.”
That’s precisely why I don’t think you owe the $ to maaser, but in this case, if you give it to tzedaka, you do get a mitzvah anyhow.
Popa Bar Abba,
I think you are board.
Let’s not add any posts here!
Great idea!
I don’t see how it could possibly be considered maaser. Money spent on a previous obligation cannot be considered maaser, and getting married is a chiyuv (for a man). Any money spent above the minimum required to get married would not be part of a mitzvah at all. The only way I could see it being considered maaser is if the girl paid for the date!
wanderingchana, this is a men’s thread. Are you hard of herring?
I see nothing wrong with what chayav is doing; he’s playing a game, and being very obvious about it.
I knew a woman who finished shas (Bavli) three times.
Yes, but I imagine that she was sober.

This thread is also about shidduchim.
If you can’t afford dating, supporting a family is going to be a MAJOR ISSUE
That’s assuming that there will not be any additional forms of income after marriage. However, there usually are.
Rabbosai, I’m getting frustrated;
what I will now say will be hated.
Some of these rhymes,
are not worth two dimes;
it shouldn’t be so complicated!
My presence here is so sporadic,
cause it makes me sick,
to see a limerick,
whose style is so erratic.
A rhyme means the words end the same;
you know, there are rule to this game.
The words tune and too,
that’s why these limericks are lame!
I gave now but one small example,
Unfortunately, there have been ample.
Cookey and rookie,
from rhyme school played hooky,
On rhyming rules these do trample.
I know I am being annoying,
and with your feelings I’m toying,
but boot, food and good,
you really should,
avoid in the same poem deploying.
Everyone will soon improve,
come now, let’s get on the move!
Just follow the rules,
we won’t look like fools.
Let’s get this thread back in the groove!
I hope no one did I insult,
I do not want that to result;
I meant it in jest,
you are all the best!
Forgive me and I will exult.
By the way, there are more pages,
but done in a way which enrages.
There used to be six,
pages of limericks,
now suddenly nine, not in stages.
He asked three questions.
3) Why did a Jewish mother name her son Yishmael?
there was an amora called reb yishmael ben elisha

?
What does R’ Chaim say about someone named Joseph using multiple names?
That’s it! Joseph was told by R’ Chaim to change his name. He went to 28 different rabbonim to ask which name he should adopt, and this is the result! YW-Moderator 42, you’re a genius! 🙂
Popa Bar Abba,
I totally disagree; I think these, and all, decisions are best left to parents. When my mother’s not looking I’ll let you know what I really think…
Normal? Yes. Productive? No.
I also prefer date beer.
Or, possibly, R. Solomon does not make the business decisions for BMG.
Good point.
Had I personally heard the mashgiach say “only Hamodia” I would be more equipped to form an opinion, based on tone of voice and context, on what he meant. As is, I’ll assume he was not being literal. Besides my point about the BMG ads, I don’t think any of that other publication’s shortcomings would warrant exclusion from a good Jewish home.
Rav M. Solomon said it very clearly in a drosho 2-3 years ago at the Agudah convention, and I quote “The Hamodia is not another paper that you should buy – it is the ONLY paper you should have in your house”. Of course he was not refering to the Yated – he was refering to bringing in any other daily into your house.
Why are you making an assertion that is clearly contradictory to what R. Solomon said?
The Wolf
BMG does advertise in Yated; it’s hard to believe they would if the mashgiach was against taking it into one’s home.
Do we have to be sober?
Yo, dude, using those sick words is mad beastly.
Good night to you, my dear Yoss,
go to sleep without making a fuss.
Although you’re inspired,
you must be real tired,
from yesterday’s trip on the bus!
I hope that the chasunah was nice,
and nobody slipped on the ice.
Outside all is frosted,
and I am exhausted,
so for tonight, this will suffice.
As I go on with this ode,
We’re proud that this thread,
has no loshon hora said,
mutual respect always showed.
his limerick to read we were craving;
but it was aborted,
and now we feel shorted,
to avoid a lie,
“Ken Zayn” that I am a naysayer,
a nice rhyme he did,
This poem has taken a week,
I think that enough I did speak.
I can take my pension,
once I do mention,
Now I must this poem conclude;
I hope I was not misconstrued.
If I left you out,
please give me a shout,
and next time I’ll try to include.
(then BP Totty)
and also the Persian Queen.
which reminds me of,
I cannot leave off of my list,
the Modern Chareidi Zionist
The best name, I think,
and “H Newman” really got the gist.
To be continued…
The answer, B-Y, to your quest,
which you only made in jest:
in our names, words two,
but just one for you.
You thus differ from the rest.
Shticky Guy,
To mention some others we shall,
we don’t want to leave out a pal.
You did mention Oomis,
with poems too good to miss,
but what happened to Minyan Gal?
We should not omit Flatbush Dude,
doing so would be quite rude.
And old Mr. 80,
who could be my zaidy,
has given us some thoughtful food.
I have to leave now really quick,
so please help me out, Guy of Shtick,
name some more rhymers,
especially old timers,
and help finish this limerick.
I’m sorry that I came so late,
and for me you did have to wait.
Your list did not finish,
i.e. chayav inish;
of others left out there’s a spate.

We now have reached page number six,
on the thread which contains limericks.
Come one and come all,
’cause we’re having a ball!
Join us for your daily fix!
Oh, I have no idea.
Today for lunch I had spaghetti
it took half an hour to get ready.
I sometimes eat fish,
as my main dish,
but pasta is more of a steady.
Here is a subtle example of a hurtful username twist. So subtle there’s a chance it could have been accidental, but since the post already had to be edited for some reason…
Avram in MD:
Oh i didnt even realize. i read the OP’s name quickly and thought it said halfagirl, the “L” looked like an “i”. (a lower case “L” and upper case “i” look the same.
Whoops!
I guess we should have been dan l’caf z’chus. YummyYummy, please be moichel.
Why do some threads end up online and some not?
I’m not sure what you mean…
*kapusta*,
And sometimes a mod will edit a post (a note to the poster or something) instead of a new post, any way to put some sort of notification if that happens? Maybe the “last poster” could change colors or something…
They put in in bold.
Because this is a coffee room, not a bar. 🙂
Ken,
He was sad, but he didn’t get mad at his dad.
Howie is fine,
he’s just on vacation.
I won’t be in touch
for the duration.
Fret not ’bout his health;
he won’t come to harm.
He’s spending his time off
on a fat farm!
You are right daas yochid
Starting this thread i did
Sad i should be not
As I have done a lot
Yikes! i need help here!
entertaining many a Yid!
Blinky, please don’t feel bad,
there’s no reason you should be sad.
You started this thread,
and you’re still way ahead.
Of that you should really be glad!
Shticky Guy, chayav inish livisumay, smartcookie,
You’re making it hard to stay humble,
although my words I often fumble.
And I’m even worse
when not talking in verse,
I then badly stammer and stumble!
