Derech:
Yiddish has multiple dialects.
gavra_at_work: So I take it you are to the right of the Agudah (ala Eidah HaChareidis, Hisachdus HaRabbonim, Satmar, etc.)?
Why is he lucky adorable?

Tomid Besimcha!!
Boy have times changed since I grew up and since I got married. We always had guests…. Now, well my friend got divorced because her ex married her Shabbos guest! What do you think of that one?

And there you have it, ladies and gentleman. Another horror story related right here in the CR.
Monopoly.
I don’t know how you can make them send it any faster if they don’t have it in stock. Really, your only options are to cancel (which you are entitled to do) or wait them out — and try hocking them to rush it (if that might work).
Yes, you can legally cancel since they did not deliver it by the date they originally gave you when you ordered. They are required to refund you. If they give you any difficulties, simply contact your credit card issuer and request to dispute the transaction and issue a “charge-back” to the merchant. Tell them they failed to deliver by the promised date.
Take him into the women’s room with you.
If I took him into the women’s room, I’d probably get arrested.
deiyezooger: She doesn’t need help. There is nothing unhealthy with a woman who gave birth to children to no longer look anorexic. Her weight is perfectly normal. He needs to get used to it.
What’s the alternative? Him wetting his pants and the floor?
sms – How common is it for them to receive a tip? And what amounts are typically given as a tip?
getzel said to give the chaveirim guy a $5 – 10 tip, but sms said they can’t take any tips (other than a donation for the main organization). Can we get clarification on the tipping issue?
Is the child running the show or is the parent being a parent?
Given that the Torah is eternal, how can we ever blot out the memory of Amalek?
Fulfill the mitzvah to kill any Amaleki you run across…
So why don’t more women whose husbands won’t give them a get burn his food?
Because it still is at his discretion. Her burning his food doesn’t compel him to give it.
Perhaps this is true in Boro Park.
In Flatbush and Kensington is where I’m talking about. (All the “yeshivish” beis yaakovs I am aware of, which is quite a lot.) BP is mostly Yiddish, so I don’t know, but they might have a Yiddish equivalent.
apushatayid: Doing part-time volunteer shadchanus I heard the opposite: That there are many good guys and many girls but there are more good guys than girls. (Though there may be more girls overall.)
There is a wonderful sefer used in many beis yaakov’s called Oz Vehadar Levusha authored by HaRav Eliyahu Falk shlit”a that addresses almost every situation in tznius. If you don’t have your high school copy of the sefer still, I highly recommend buying it. My wife had a copy but my brother in laws Rosh Yeshiva personally bought a copy for him since his wife gave her sister her copy from school. Most beis yaakovs in New York give them out to the students.
The staff ought to be PAYING for room and board and 3 meals (including hot ones) a day. After they deduct what it should cost them from their salary, I think staff is being OVERPAID.
For the Hatzalah guy’s personal time and gas (coming in his private vehicle — not for Hatzalah organization’s expenses sending out the ambulance, etc.) How is Chaveirim different in that regard?
My point isn’t to advocate tipping Hatzalah guys. On the contrary. I’m questioning tipping Chaveirim guys.
The volunteers don’t refuse tips?
I would think if I offered a Hatzalah guy $10 for coming out he would probably refuse it.
You see what you lose by not speaking yiddish? If only you’d speak the common tongue you could find good yid in a moment!
That works if the adult needs the restroom, not if the child needs the restroom.
If the child needs the restroom the solution is even easier. You ask a frum person of the child’s gender to take him into the restroom, while you wait right outside the door the whole time.
You say vus machst ah yid and when he replies geloibt is der aibershter you know your child is in good hands.
When Moshiach comes we will all understand why the holocaust was the best thing that could happen to Klal Yisroel.
He would ask a nice frum yid to watch his child, just like the guy in Wolf’s story did and just like DaasYochid, myself, and others indicated they would.
A big Israeli professor once had a discussion with the frierdika Gerrer Rebbe, the Pnei Menachem zt’l. The professor asked the Rebbe, why do chareidi Jews have such a strong opposition to pictures of women who are not completely dressed? You must be very perverted if you have bad thoughts. He said that this never happens to him.
The Rebbe responded to him: Can you walk bare foot in the desert? The professor answered, no since the hot sand would burn my feet. So the Rebbe asked him, but the Arabs have no problem walking in the hot desert sands! The professor replied: that is because their feet have become so hardened and used to it. My feet are sensitive.
Said the Rebbe, yes and that’s how your soul has become, hardened and insensitive to inapproriate pictures, while the souls of chareidi yidden are sensitive to this.
otb: So Levi Aron is able to do teshuva and atone for this sin?
How does this addiction manifest itself with her? What is she doing as a result of the addiction? Bad sites? Contacting other men?
There is no doubt watching killing on TV and movies devalue human life in the eyes of its viewers.
AC: The child would have told the cops that Aron picked him up from the street if he let him out. That’s probably what went through Aron’s mind.
After age 6 or so it becomes more problematic, and I would not put myself in such a situation. Go with your spouse whenever possible. Little boys DO need to use restrooms, and moms certainly cannot go into a men’s room with an 8 year old son, nor should that son be in the ladies room.
Like oomis said, starting at age 6 it is a tznius prohibition for an opposite gender child to go into the other restroom. So will you leave a 6 year old outside by him or herself???
happiest: The cops said this was the first, and there was no abuse in this case. Said Ray Kelly, NYC Police Commish. Maybe you know better than the police commissioner based on tabloid reports?
So all dishes and utensils must be suspected of possibly being returns previously used with non-kosher food and thereby possibly treif?
A 10 year old is old enough to go into a public restroom alone, with a parent standing outside.
oomis – the question was is a 10 year old old enough to wait outside alone while his parent is inside? And what is the cutoff age?
Every criminal has a first incident. There’s no reason to currently think he wasn’t caught after his first incident.
I think he did the murder after coming home from work Tuesday, just a few hours before he was caught.
hanab – Did you ever let anyone other than your wife know that you verbalized your mechilla?
Yes.
Take the kid with you. Yes, that’s right — take a five year old girl with you into the men’s room. Have her keep her eyes closed if you must.
And if it was your wife with your son. Would you suggest she take your son into the women’s room? And up until what age. 5? 10? And what if he was older than your cut-off age. And how do you think the women inside would react to your son’s presence there.
Aron never molested anyone. The police commissioner said as such.
They’ve clarified it pretty well; you’re mechuyav to kill a moser.
Yaacov: If you follow oomis’ advice, please only check out your lungs after you are married, so as not to ruin your shidduch prospects if c’v something is amiss. (jk)
