Mr. 80,
Agreed.
I’m glad you clarified witch (sick)(sic) you were talking about.
1) One uses a “spelling” checker to check one’s spelling. One uses a “spell” checker to check one’s spells. Any witches in the CR?
Apparently, this website can’t spell its own name.
2) If we’re going to be so pedantic, let us avoid the word “typo” as well.
Health,
Good old question.
on a residential street at 4:50AM
Don’t you value your sleep?
Once, to visit my hubcaps.
Popa Bar Abba,
Thanks for your post. Until you chimed in, it seemed that this would be one of the few times everyone agreed. Then you got everyone except real-brisker to believe that you condone texting while driving, and made this a little more controversial. Good job.

Hello,I stopped FOR 3 WHOLE DAYS!!
I did the same thing with smoking. 🙂
Yunger Mann,
Read this post in which Joseph admits that he uses names that are not identified by the moderators as his. He posts under multiple names (undetected by the moderators) in the same thread, which changes the tone of the whole discussion. I agree that nobody should take anything in an anonymous blog as anything other than food for thought, but the sad reality is that too many people are taking things too literally here. This behavior lacks integrity.

Bpt I don’t think its right to be the type that talks to your nerighbor!!! Why do you think its fine to talk to an opposite gender neighbor?? Just cuz she’s your neighbor its mutar?? Please explain
Mother in israel if your not the type to talk to your neigghbor kal vchomer you shouldn’t talk to people on the internet. I think you should rethink
Very cute, you’ve just said that no one should be in the coffee room.
I have finally run out of thread ideas.
Oh, really?
For the record, I’ve never met you and have no idea who you are.
That you know of.
Yes, it’s your imagination. Now get a life. 🙂
Why daven for it? Just don’t go out with anyone who’s not rich!
(Save your tefillos for sholom bayis – you’ll need it.)

That’s something I didn’t know,
that Howie is chassidish,
I knew that he was Jewish;
but I thought that he was Swedish.
Reminds me of the Journeys song: (Abie Rotenberg)
But now they call him Chaim’l
and on Shabbos wears a shtreim’l
’cause their buried faith ignited
while flying on United
to the atheists’ convention in LA.
I’m not vouching for the accuracy, but I found this:

Why Texting While Driving Is Worse Than DWI
By : Jay Jacobson
Car and Driver performed research that considered a drivers distance and response time to come to a stop travelling at 70MPH. The study revealed that it took the drunk driver four feet further to come to a stop compared to the sober driver. The shocking part of the study came when they examined texting while driving. It took the one that was texting while driving 70 feet to stop in comparison to the sober driver.
Texting while driving removes 3 important things required for safe driving:
1) You Hands
2) Your Eyes and,
3) Your Concentration
A driver who’s texting makes use of his hands, eyes, and concentration to text. This places them as well as everyone else around them at risk and what makes texting while driving more dangerous than an intoxicated driver.
Let’s undertake this line of thought a step further. There’s 800,000 people at any given moment who are distracted by means of texting and driving. Dangerous driving conditions in our day are at a whole new level. With 800,000 texting you can be fairly certain that there may be someone close to you who is distracted by texting.
The statistics demonstrate that driver associated accidents and fatilities are up due to the lethal grouping of texting and driving. Join us in making an individual pledge in saying “NO” to texting while driving.
The oilum is not chaping the amkus of popas post.
Which oilum?
Texting is almost as bad as DWI.
Maybe it’s worse? Do we have any stats?
antelope110,
Thanks for the compliment, but the credit is due Blinky. In other words:
Thank you for your words so nice,
and for adding to this thread some spice.
But Blinky is earning
the credit for turning
a limerick into a Jewish device.
I’m glad that you remembered
to mention our friend Howard.
I thought you were afraid to,
but I guess you’re not a coward.
Shticky,
Now everyone will definitely think we’re the same Guy!

So now your name is spaced out?
yw
I do text while driving.
Despite that it is per se negligent. I actually stopped briefly when I realized that, but then remembered that I also speed.
I don’t think popa_bar_abba was concentrating when he posted this. He was probably posting from his mobile device. While driving.
TheGoq,
I thought spaced out was a compliment; it means you are not over-posting or concentrating too heavily on one thread. Your comments are spaced out nicely throughout the various threads in the coffee room.
I’m sorry if I told the truth,
it’s something I’ve done since my youth.
But please don’t be haughty,
’cause that’s very naughty,
and some would say that it’s uncouth.
If ga’ava’s not your favorite flavor,
I was just returning the favor;
You spoke well of me,
undeservedly,
and kovod I also do savor.
Chayav, I thought
you had heeded the call,
to stop all your talking
about alcohol.
It now seems to me, though,
that I was mistaken,
and that you’re a shikur,
you will still be fakin’.
Yes, and they wouldn’t have been on Yeshiva World either.
A shame of yiddisha gelt.
Not as much “yiddisha gelt” is wasted as you make it out to be. Most of the advertising is in “yiddisha” publications, and they use, for the most part (if not completely) “yiddisha” marketing firms.
Thus far from what I have found,
the best at rhyming a sound,
is someone who’s shticky,
and although I’m picky,
I think he’s the best poet around!
Guf Yiseira!Cute!
It is my limerick, but that’s not my line (I don’t remember where I heard it).
watermelon,
What makes you think chayav drinks?
I’m sure neither of us knows him, but I guess he’s probably kidding around.
chayav, I just saw your post,
you’re a better poet than most.
I’m talking to no one,
I’m just having some fun;
this thread is a limerick host.
My asthma causes my wheezing,
my cold has me coughing and sneezing.
I’ve so many ills,
I’ll pop a few pills,
don’t worry, I am just teasing.
Shabbos, the holiest of days,
a good Yid learns, and he prays.
To feed the “neshomo y’seiro”
is not an aveiro,
but the “guf y’seiro”, it stays.
I now must spend my hard earned gelt,
because I am no longer svelte.
I’ll go in my Chevy,
cause now I’m so heavy,
that I need a new “cholent belt”.
On Shabbos, the cholent we eat,
is a very special treat.
But my tummy’s now pained,
oh the calories I gained,
from barley, potatoes and meat.
Why did nobody (that I noticed) mention Booker’s ? Too strong for you folks?
Limericks are not all that dumb,
that is my rule of thumb.
Poems are fun,
for me, # 1,
But go there, you’ll see I have some.
In the CR there’s screamin’ and yellin’;
Who’s who? Nobody’s tellin’.
We know Shticky Guy,
is not Bed-Stuy,
and that Joseph is practically a felon!
Chayav, your issue is weighty.
Are you a man or a lady?
So go see a shrink,
or at least have a drink,
so that you won’t be so far-dreit-y!
There once once a chossid from Willy,
who went to go learn in Philly.
but let’s not confuse
the two types of Jews
a chassidishe litvak is silly!
My car is still by the mechanic,
and now I am in a real panic.
Oh what should I do,
my kids have the flu,
but I can’t get to Dr. Shanek!
Limericks are hard on the head,
that’s why there’s a poetry thread.
It’s hard to rhyme twice,
impossible thrice!
That’s why I’ll stay there instead.
The communities (theological) that do not have engaged couples see each other, generally have them meet only once or twice before they get engaged. There is not much of a relationship to maintain, so they wait until they are married. Usually, they are younger than in other circles, and their hands are also held by their parent for a while after the wedding, making the transition easier. Those communities have a different style of upbringing to begin with. It’s a completely different system than the one many are used to; to apply some of the features of that shidduch process in a vacuum would likely lead to disaster, but it seems to work for them.
I’m sorry, watermelon,
if you feel ignored,
your purple poem was cute;
it should win an award.
Your Shabbos rhyme was moving,
about a day with no tension;
if not first prize,
it gets honorable mention.
I liked your poem, Chayav
but there’s just one thing,
how can a bubby
call himself a king?
We in the CR
think you should come clean,
and admit your not a grandma
unless you’re a queen!
bpt,
Are your neighbors Billy and Joel? 🙂
I’m still new at this rhyming,
I’m only a rookie,
but I thank you for your kind words,
poster smartcookie.
Our obsession with coffee,
from our rest should not rob us,
so I now will log off,
and wish all a “Good Shabbos”!
I love those old Suki & Ding All Star records.
Here’s another from that series (big hint!):
“Although the years are slipping by, as I approach the end…”
