I bet you make it with pearled barley. Pure starch.
I use whole grain barley.
All you needed to say was: “I don’t like cholent”
A lawyer once told me: “just say what’s necessary”
I see.
So by cheap you mean expensive
By overcooked you mean properly cooked.
By mush you mean not mush.
And by starch you mean fiber, protein, and complex carbohydrates.
You should be a lawyer. Or politician.
Maybe both?
Our recipie: short ribs ($15/lb), lima beans, whole grain barley, a little olive oil, onions, fresh garlic, spices, idaho potatoes.

I don’t know his source but I’ve heard Rabbi Avigdor Miller ztl say this many times.
All those minimally funny jokes are copied from aishs website.
Well, if you’re going to worry about that, then you have to wonder where the indigenous Native Americans buried their dead before the arrival of Europeans.
The Wolf
They didn’t bury them. They placed them on elevated platforms.

Correct. It doesn’t fit the technical criteria. But making something other than Hashem your main focus in life. And the determining factor in your major life decisions, looking to it for your protection and salvation, and defending it above all other considerations is in the spirit of and bordering on Avodah Zarah.
Make sure you can return it if she doesn’t like it.
Some girls dream of a very particular type of ring. She will expect you to somehow know exactly what that is.
Interesting statement of the Rambam as to the relative weight of two parameters in defining “Klal Yisroel”.
Which has absolutely nothing at all whatsoever to do with calling The Jewish People a TOFEL to Eretz Yisroel. And Eretz Yisroel the IKAR.
It borders on Avodah Zarah.
What did the Rambam say Sam?
That Avrohom and his zera are beloved by Hashem because they serve the needs of Eretz Yisroel?
Think before you respond with your scholarly irrelevant nonsense.
AviK you did not understand my post. I was only referring to the placement of Eretz Yisroel as primary and The Am Yisroel as secondary.
You are also horrendously mistaken when you refer to The Jewish People as a complement to Eretz Yisroel.
Maybe the boy has a delicate and sensitive nature. You think we should harden him up so he can face life’s “realities” before we allow him to meet girls?
I like the name ” spacebarisbelowtheb”
rabbitofberlin:
Joseph: your comments are ridiculous and totally false. “Tens of thousands of jews living in Turkey today”?? Do you live in the real world? There is a small amount of jews living in turkey
In truth numerous sources including Wikipedia are in almost exact agreement that there are 17,200 Jews currently living in Turkey.
Just don’t call me.
I see you can take a joke on yourself.
You have my endorsement!
Popaesque:
I never say gyp, I only say jip
But maybe the mods can change MY name to sixem or forkay.
But that’s not funny either.
Apple Yochid or Mac Yochid isn’t funny.
DY. I don’t know. I can’t think of anything clever to say.
Are you kidding!
Look at yourself!
Do you have any idea how many millions of people have experienced untold severe anxiety and even loss of irreplaceable data by the “blue screen of death”? DOS Yochid.
How dare you call yourself CT lawyer. . I have had many CT scans and very serious conditions had to be ruled out. And there are millions of other people who also were in similar situations. It’s life and death and you use those letters for some internet club!
I find it disgusting and highly offensive. And since I have had a very personal connection to CTs I feel thoroughly justified in taking said offense. I have every right to and you better feel bad about it. And don’t give me any of your Connecticut stuff.
That REALLY REALLY felt good. Now I understand the deluge of political correctness and the victim mentality. It’s just plain FUN! Almost as good as revenge.
Proving that coffee is tea
1. the dried and prepared leaves of a shrub, Camellia sinensis, from which a somewhat bitter, aromatic beverage is prepared by infusion in hot water.
2. any kind of leaves, flowers, etc., so used.
3. any of various infusions prepared from the leaves, flowers, etc., of other plants, and used as beverages or medicines.
I cannot see how Rav Elyashiv tz’l has more of an insight into Arab minds than anyone else.
Of course you can’t see how.
Sometimes his posts are just plain stupid.
But a very very funny kind of stupid.
I’m not disagreeing with your objection to papas trivialization. (I’m not agreeing with it either).
But I do disagree with your description of popas “humor”.
I usually don’t laugh at it either, but I find it very pleasant and enjoyable. Always so clever, in a very sophisticated, subtle, and unique way. Something like “The Far Side” in tone,
but more freely irreverent, often spiced with disguised satire. I love his posts.
(And I’ve noticed a LOT of other posters try to recreate it)
Daas
I believe that’s what wolf meant.
No oy you can’t get wifi on your computer unless you have internet on your computer.
If you do have Internet on your computer then you can buy a wireless router and you will then have free wifi in your house.
Thank you wolf
It’s pretty pashut.
Hashem generally acts through Teva
Did some googling.
Two other factors: fertility drugs that cause multiple ovulation.
Also increased average age of women getting pregnant. Older women have a higher rate of multiple ovulation
Also no contradiction to what postsem heard
But that’s not a contradiction to what postsem heard
Actually the increase in twins is due to the increased utilization and success of IVF. Generally multiple embryos are implanted simultaneously as each one has a limited chance of survival ( something of the order of 40%).
It’s a celestial warning of a future event following in sequence after a related past event.
You don’t know much about these things do you?

9:11 !!!
Hold on to your horses!
The eclipse begins (central time) at…….
you said YEARS per century, so you’re TECHNICALLY right.
But you’re wrong because you were arguing against my statement of 7 TETRADS. So you must have meant 10-12 tetrads but since at that point you assumed a tetrad lasted 1 year you simply used the more common term year instead of the unfamiliar tetrad. For there is no good reason to switch the subject from tetrads to years which are not identical, UNLESS YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE!
Then as you found yourself squirming under the vise of my gigantic intellect you came up with the 10-12 year defense. Good try! If not for my lightning fast grasp of your well disguised attempt at logical subterfuge you might have succeeded.
As I’ve said before, it will be a cold day in December before YOU can outsmart ME.
Don’t think so.
NASA lists per century how many tetrads occurred in that century.
If two tetrads occurred between 1700 and 1800 then two tetrads occurred in that century.
I don’t care if each tetrad lasts 25 years.
I’m sorry squeak. Im just having fun.
Of course that recurring religious fanatic stuff is nothing but drivel.
But, (and as my sons Moreh once said causing an outburst of hysterical laughter), and this is a very big but,
It is not drivel that the Neviim said there will be celestial among other signs at the end of days.
So there
… not to mention that plenty of equally significant events occurred when no tetrad or even single blood moon was in sight
Speaking of drivel you know that that’s a completely illogical disproof of causality or correlation.
At least my drivel was merely speculative.
And potentially interesting
At least I wrote: “I believe” re the number 7.
Your 10-12 per century was pretty far off.
NASA lists the statistics on line
Last 15 centuries ranges from 0-8max occurrences tetrad per century. Average 3 per century. your figure was about 4x exaggerated.
My figure was about 7x enaggerated.
So you would win except you didn’t write: “I believe”
The fundamentalist Xan “prophets” are having a field day with this. A number of books have been written and countless articles, that this is heralding the end of the world, or the coming of Moshiach, or the end CV of Israel, or the triumph of Israel, the day of judgement etc.
That’s nothing
This is the fourth of four lunar eclipses in a years time which is called a blood moon tetrad. A tetrad is very rare. I believe there have been only 7 tetrads in the last 2000 years.
The last one was 1967. The one before that was 1948. The one before that was 1492.
The first three of this years tetrad occurred on ( I can’t recall but all three were on Yom Tovim).
I don’t know anything else. Consult Google.

The average Earth-Moon distance is 240,000 miles (386,000 km), but on Sunday night our red-faced companion will edge within 221,752 miles (356,876 km) of Earth and appear 8% larger than normal. Will you be able to see the difference?
I just don’t know if I agree with the concept that continued negative responses within me are a sign of lacking forgiveness, or middos, or not doing ratzon Hashem.
I think this concept IS applicable and correct, to a person who is entirely a malach.
But it is something to strive TOWARDS, though you know it is not possible to get there. To whatever extent, it IS something worthwhile to work on. I believe trying to achieve this IS doing the Ratzon Hashem.
If it is truly a horrendously difficult and painful situation, even a bit of an attempt, and even occasionally when you are particularly inspired to do so and feel spiritually strong, I believe is tremendously worthwhile.
You don’t understand housewife. What you say is correct, but no one has said otherwise. No one says “it is the responsibility of the offended party to work out his or her feelings.” It is though, both a midda chasida, and ultimately a benefit to the offended party, both in how the offended party is related to in Shomayim, as well as a benefit to his “psychological” well being. This takes not one wit away from the responsibility of the offender.
