Tequila-no bloody mary-coytainly
BSDMemberBSD – Was that an haskama?
umhm
and once your on the topic, I have a whole list, but for starters, why does a bar mitzvah have to be a mini chasunah? Why can’t it be a small affair done tastefully in the house and invite only immediate family plus one or two close friends. These bar mitzvahs put a strain on people’s time and on the baal simcha’s $$$. And how many stories do we hear of the baal simcha collapsing with a heart attack by a wedding because the one night simcha is putting him in debt?
BSDMemberAnd if she has a big rolling pin uch in veiy
BSDMemberdeiyezooger-I agree- I was thinking along the same lines. If it is s/o who seduces she may even be familiar with him, he may be s/o decent who had a moment of weakness, plus her prospects for a good shidduch are now diminished as BaalSechel mentioned.
BSDMemberYour welcome.
BSDMemberHave you ever seen anybody hook themselves up with a coffee I.V. drip this way they don’t have to get up every few minutes for another coffee?
BSDMemberGoq- If there’s even a slight chance it will lead to hard feelings then just drop it. (Unless it’s a significant inconvenience-it sounds like it’s upsetting but bearable) If you can say it in a non-confrontational manner and the person is not overly sensitive maybe say “you are probably not aware of this but it seems like your kids have moved and possibly even damaged stuff on my desk in the past. They are cute and all but please keep an eye out.” and them move on to another topic so there’s no lingering awkwardness. good luck!
BSDMember*LIKE*
BSDMemberFor the people who say krum chiddushim all year round, a shot or two might just set them straight!
BSDMemberCould it be some one spiked the coffee?
BSDMemberNot only does it not shter me, it usually brings me out of my reverie out in some far away place, back to the bais medrash, back to my siddur and my davening, and of course it reminds me about ya’aleh viyavo.
BSDMemberadorable-can you sing it for us?
I can wait while you get your vocal cords revved up.
BSDMemberThanks-great story!
BSDMember“You can’t put your elbow in your ear? Really? How long have you had this condition.”

BSDMemberMike-my apologies I’m just in one of those moods and got carried away. I read the article and I agree that it is a must read. It is powerful indeed. Thank you!

BSDMemberMichaelC I commend you for wanting. Mod 80 I commend you for not letting.

Besides for keeping a positive attitude, and having a life outside of dating – which you seem to have,run on the treadmill, keep fit-it’s a mood booster.
BSDMemberMichael-R U a man or a lady-your sn is ambiguous.
BSDMemberWould you give a girl a second chance if she orders a martini straight up on a date?
Maybe ask the mashgiach from The Mir I’m sure you’ll do him proud. Maybe he’ll even recommend a good bar.
BSDMemberdating mir guy- are you dating a mir guy or are you a mir guy who is dating?
BSDMemberTwo thumbs up Mod- If I was moderator the cr would look like a ghost town.
BSDMemberADORABLE-that was nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I for one am very hurt!
BSDMemberDrinking on peerim,;
BSDMemberBecause Aish said so. Kapish?
BSDMember“would you drink out of a can in front of the queen of england?”
Only if she makes the initiative. But it would never happen-she only drinks tea.
“Does ????? ???? ???? ???? apply to drinking too?”
You get downgraded from a dog to a puppy. And that’s if it’s from a cup. If it’s from a bottle, I don’t even want to say what you become…
BSDMembercoytainly! Zats moichel! Eech hub dich gurnisht gemeint!
BSDMembercoffee- If I am on your side,I cannot possibly be on the dark side. May the light shine forth on all sides!
BSDMemberooooh I didn’t realize that. Mods can I have capital letters too?
BSDMemberHi ursula- did you get used to you new subtitle yet?
BSDMemberForget the pacifiers, what’s with all the fancy Japanese cars. Everyone seems to need a set of Honda accord and odyssey or toyota Camry and Sienna lined up in their driveway.
zaidy-“when the simple yungerman/yungerlafy”
What’s a yungerlafy? I couldn’t find it in the dictionary.
BSDMemberMy toddler does it all the time-can’t fall asleep without it.(no beer though)
BSDMemberaries shetichye amoosh,
Your title suggests a question-what is the halachah-fair enough. Notice, however, that there is not one poster here that takes the position that it is OK to cheat your boss, and that is because there really is no question at all. As is evidenced from your posts, it is really a rant predicated on an assumption that some, if not many of the posters who are posting during business hours must be doing so dishonestly on their boss’s time. Why assume the worst. Unless you are a doctor in which case a dire prognosis can make you wealthy, but otherwise it is counter
productive for all parties, yourself included.
flowers-it all depends on how the question is asked.
But since you asked so nicely…I am self employed. I hire a full time secretary and I do not look over her shoulder because I know she is honest and gets the work done. If she chooses to take some down time and post on the cr(for all I know she is one of the posters here) I am fine with that. And I assume that most, if not all, who post during business hours are doing so honestly.
BSDMemberThere was a Jewish fellow who sold kosher cheese. Said he: The difference between myself and Jews for J is that they sell Jews to J
and I sell cheeses to Jews. Good night y’allBSDMemberCoffee- The promise was made to bnei Avrohom- not to the unrelated masses who believe in one of his “sons” teachings- which again is saying that H-shem changed his torah and made a mistake the first time around. The promise to Avrohom was still kept to a segment of Klal Yisroel. I believe I heard this from R’ Avigdor Miller ZT”l. He has a fascinating tape on how to answer-it’s quite entertaining.
He also mentioned that the giving of the Torah was witnessed by millions, now how plausible is it that when taking it back and giving it to another it is witnessed by only one person. (and you expect a Jew to believe that-try a better sales pitch) Also, there is no historian of the time of J that ascribes divinity to him. The claim of divinity was made a century later by people who could not have witnessed it, where as the Torah has everything recorded- the Xtians do not deny the veracity of the torah-they only claim it was changed afterward.
BSDMemberBeruchim habo’im to all who sacrificed so much. It is an inspiration.
Personally, I don’t think I would have made the move, or even felt I was missing some thing during my late teens and early adulthood. I would have had to have settled down, be married with children, see how profound life is, how limited and vulnerable we are and learned some of life’s lessons before I would even realize I was missing something. At that point I believe I would have searched intensively and determinedly for truth and meaning and that would inevitably lead me to yiddishkeit.
I grew up taking yiddishkeit as a given(as I think it should be). There was a time when I started to question why I am Jewish and what it means to me- whether it should mean something to me and why. I was fortunate that a group of my friends were joining a kiruv seminar in Israel and asked me to join. The speakers were fascinating and logical, and while they taught us what to say to the unaffiliated, I learned the answers to my own questions. It really strengthened my yiddishkeit. Reading R’ Avigdor Miller ZT”L’s books also made me proud and set things straight.
BSDMemberMe- Is G-d all knowing?
Him- Yes
Me- Does he ever make mistakes?
Him- No never. He is perfect.
Me- So He said we will be his nation forever and He will never forsake us… what happened? He changed his mind? He “forgot” to factor in a few minor details when He gave his word?
BSDMemberMod-If anybody on the “outside” reads this thread it could be a chillul H-shem- I don’t know what your guidelines are but I figured it’s worth mentioning.
BSDMemberYou presented one side of an argument. Do you believe there is another side and if not why do you present it as a question when it is actually an opinion?
BSDMemberaries2756- you posted at 3:30. What’s your sitch?
Aside from the the mods who do it on their boss’s time clock you are obviously asking a rhetorical question, possibly looking to pick a fight. Idk, maybe people need an outlet for their aggressiveness so they are more productive at work. Since you presented your op as a question please elaborate-what is the question? What’s your opinion? Do you have any reasonable doubt that it may be okay and that people doing it here are not shortchanging their boss?
BSDMemberHow about threads that go off the derech?
BSDMemberumuchuh H-shem Elok-m dimuh may’al kul ponim.
BSDMember“B”H, I am FFB but I am Torah observant solely because I’ve chosen this path in life and NOT because I was born in this “mold”.”
Making a choice by definition means there was another option on the table-was there ever truly another option? What option was there? Atheism? To be an agnostic? A different religion? How did you make your determination? Did you study other religions first? Is it necessary for an ffb to make such a conscious decision? Or should it be a given with the only focus being on shteiging?
BSDMember“We need quality, not quanitity.”
Are you saying that the ones who lack quality are ruining it for the others or that it is not even worthwhile for the unqualified person himself?
And by what measuring stick do you gauge quality?
Bain adam lichaveiro? bain adam lamakom? sincerity? integrity?
BSDMember“If I saw the right examples, probably. Judaism (Torah) itself is perfect, the problem is if its not represented the way its supposed to be.”
Suppose you saw the wrong examples, would you be drawn to the truth of Torah? Would you feel life w/o Judaism is empty or meaningless? Would another religion give you fulfillment? Would you even be looking for truth? Would life’s lessons make a difference?
BSDMember“What type of answer are you looking for?”
Honest ones.
“Obviously more dont than do”
Yes-but would YOU have-and is that why you are who you are and they are not?
“Yes, I did”
You have the privilege of knowing something we FFB’s may forever wonder about.
BSDMemberThere was a bochur on a date that was so frum he introduced himself as kelikahu, called his date bat-kuh and asked for ginger kail. I’m not sure if he opened the door for her.
Sorry this thread is too hot for me.
May 31, 2011 3:22 am at 3:22 am in reply to: Were not Chassidish at all, but we go to Rebbes for Brachos #773211BSDMemberHomeowner- You may owe ZK an apology. All she said was that these women may have survived because of their meritorious deed- I don’t know how you inferred from her words that whoever fails to do so should go to hell. A pack of reds (or Virginia Slims) will do you wonders.
groisnaches- Why not give it a test drive and see how it feels for both you and your husband. It’s not permanent you know. And hey-you might even like it. Showers will take a fraction of the time, your shaitel will fit like a glove, and heaven help me if my wife reads this post!
