    Thank you everybody for your advice.

    I’m considering another option I saw on line. It’s called a split ductless. I can have one condenser(the noisy part that goes outside like by a central unit) and up to four air handlers ( the part that goes inside and blows in the cold air) Since I need 4 units, it comes out not too much more than buying 4 window units. ( if I only needed 1 it would be a considerable difference) It has the air quality and quietness of the central unit and the advantage of a window unit in that you can have some off and some on or all set to different temperatures. It’s cheaper to install than central since there are no ducts. Does anybody have any experience with these?

    My wife is hesitant to go with me to the rebbe for this very reason. He is known for this. Having said that, the skulene Rebbe is an ish kadosh vitahor, a remnant of the previous doros. It is a privilage to be able to see him. May he have arichas yummim vishunim.

    May you have a lot of yiddishi nachas from this one and from all your children. There is a vitamin called Glutamax from Maxi-health that is good for bronchitis. It is very expensive, but it works. Refuah Shelaimah.

    When I was growing up, I went through a stage of listening to secular music. What made an everlasting impression on me was when I once had the music on loud, and my mother walked into the room and told me that at least if I listen, I should not be proud of it, and should keep the volume down. She did not tell me to shut it, but she made it clear that she expected better of me. I shut it on my own. As Daas mentioned one is probably better off finding common ground in a healthier area. The message should be that while you do not necessarily condone or enjoy their actions you still love the person.

    nottelling-I agree with you that feeling invisible is aweful, however popularity is not the measure of a man (or a woman). Are you kind and caring(it sounds like you are) do you brighten some ones day? that is what separates the men (and woman) from the boys (and…) That is all you take with you. Having said that, the CR may be a good place to observe… who gets responses, and why. Which posts do you respect and feel like responding to, and which don’t you. And you can apply what you learn to real life as well. An interesting SN is helpful-why not use all the tools at your disposal. Especially since you claim that you have henceforth(is that the right word?) gone unnoticed. Why not continue with nottelling-that’s pretty creative.

    popa-“I’m guessing both were cold”

    just making sure you’re awake:)-ok I failed to mention that the pot is yad soledes bo and yet the milk is kosher.

    Daas-“I was offering two separate reasons.”

    There is a big nafka minah lihalacha between the two reasons in, for example, Popa’s case where a pig stuck its foot into a pot.

    Popa-Thank you-I forgot about chanan. I should have modified the Q as follows: How can you have food that is milchig, but if some fleishig falls into it it becomes parev?

    RavHamachshir-? usually if your not sure the best answer is “it’s a machlokis”

    Here’s another one:

    How can you have a piece of meat fall into a kli rishon of milk, there is no shishim kinegdo, and it is kosher?

    Yoyo- Let’s try another angle- are you doing something to attract attention to yourself? Do you play with your yoyo while you are walking?

    “Even if it’s min haTorah, it might be an asei (Ramba”m) in which case there might not be ta’am k’ikar. See Kehillos Yaakov Chullin 5 (newer edition) for a discussion on this topic; IIRC, he proves as HaleiVi asserts that live meat is not able to be maflit from the fact that we don’t asser a tavshil in which a person stuck his finger.”

    If there is no ta’am k’ikar than you cannot bring proof that live meat is not maflit from a case of a tavshil in which a person stuck his finger?

    Haleivi-“Your tongue is in your mouth for over 24 hours.”

    Tongue in mouth=ok

    Foot in mouth=problem

    All seriousness aside, I was wondering if your choice of gid hanashah is actually a problem because I was klerring what is the reasoning behind batul bishishim-is it that the ta’am is diluted or is it that the apposing ta’am overpowers it? If it’s the former, than your gid hanasheh example holds muster, if it’s the latter then it would remain treif despite having shishim. This must be am haaratsus though because according to my reasoning if tarfus falls into water it cannot become batul, unless you say water has ta’am. In NJ it does. Anyway I haven’t leaned this in well over a decade since leaving kollell so please forgive me-I’m just having some fun.

    A little off topic here, but an interesting observation about yiddish-english:

    Often when you have ch in yiddish, you have a similar gh in english.

    Example:Nacht=night, knecht=knight, licht=light, tracht=thought, lach=laugh, shecht=slaughter, tuchter=daughter, chap=caught durch=through

    Maybe because they couldn’t pronounce the ch they made it a silent gh (or they went with the sefardic shittah that ch sounds like h :))

    It is quite obvious that these English words are a derivative of Yiddish or German because there is no real purpose for a silent gh.

    Also interesting is calb= calf, halb=half, drai=three, trai=try shvim=swim, zing=sing margin=morning enfer=answer and the list goes on.

    Haleivi,

    That is correct though you chose gid hanasheh because it is not nosen taam-you could have chosen even issur that is nosen taam for example if you had a pot with 59 kizaisim of food and a kizais of treif fell into it and then another kizais of a different treif food (ie that has a different taste then the first kizais of treif) fell in it is kosher because each treif has 60x more than it and is mivatel its taam. However you can’t add it in intentionally because ain mivatlin issur lichatchilah.

    Regardless of whether or not it is assur, it is certainly not meat-meaning you do not have to wait 6 hours to eat milchig-same as by a non-kosher species which one is also permitted to cook with milk and is muttar bihana’ah.

    Hare’s another one:How can you have food that is treif, but if some more treif falls into it it becomes muttar?

    “Not a b’heimah.”

    That’s a matter of opinion.

    “Maybe that’s precisely why there’s no issur.”

    That is precisely what the Darkei Tshuvah says.
