Even on a thread like this, there has to be some hositlity? Come on ppl. We may not agree with each other on everything but let’s show some Ahavas Yisroel. Example: 1)There is a nicer way IMHO to say you don’t feel it’s a Yom Tov. 2)Ok – maybe neturei karta should not have been mentioned in such a way but the response to that could also have been a little nicer.
I’m just sayin………
mikehall: Beautifully written! If only everyone would take it to heart!
shticky guy: Also beautifully written.
If we would all treat each other with respect, the world would be a much better place.
oops! there should not have been a question mark at the end of my last sentence. also it should say Let’s just daven that every Jew should be safe there and everywhere!
I actually agree with Popa on this one!!! Wow.
It’s a very frightening thought, but I’m sure a lot of ppl will still send their children. It takes a lot of Bitachon. We must know that Hashem is in charge.
I heard a story about a girl who was supposed to go to seminary in 2001. Her parents were so frightened because of what was going on in Israel at the time so they decided to keep her home. She got a job in the twin towers….well she was in the building on 9/11. So we never know what’s in store for us.
I’m not saying I would make this decision so easily to send a child to Israel. If any of my children were supposed to go next year, I would surely be having second thoughts and possibly keep them home. I don’t know. Does that mean I don’t have enough Bitachon? Or would I be doing my hishtadlus to keep my children safe?
Let’s just Daven that every Jew should be safe there?
sniff sniff! 🙁
I am an only child and so is my husband. Actually I was not spoiled. In fact, there were times when my mother went to parent teachers conferences, and it happen to come up (my mother would mention it), the teachers were actually taken aback to find this out. They would tell my mother how surprised they were. I was not what ppl typically picture of an only child. I had no problems sharing, was not spoiled, etc. etc. I hope I don’t sound like I’m bragging chas v’shalom. I’m not. I actually credit my mother for the upbringing.
I don’t believe my husband was spoiled either. He too does not have a problem sharing. As far as him relating to a person of the opposite gender, I just assumed it was a “guy” thing.
Anyway, my kids have always had fun telling friends and teachers that they have NO first cousins, NO aunts or uncles! Although B”H they have a large extended family with whom we are close – 2nd cousins, great aunts and uncles, etc.
We also heard it’s to protect against fires – specifically to protect sefarim.
popa:
um… very funny.
u DO know where i live.
and YOU don’t live in chicago.
and yes – lots of ppl in various places pronounce in YONTIFF but you know very well that it is wrong.
mochoh timcheh:
1) so texting is the cause of divorce. hmmm. interesting.(yes- sarcasm intended)
2) from reading your posts here and on other threads, it seems you think very highly of yourself and think no one else is entitled to their opinions because they are of course WRONG.
3)you like stirring things up. a) either you’re just having fun, in which case I say, GET A LIFE. or b) you truly feel the way i described you in #2, in which case, i kind of pity you.
Popa: you can’t eat? huh? by neila you can’t, but neilas hachag for sure you can.
ALSO IT’S YOM TOV NOT YONTIFF.
well if you look at my subtitle, you can tell my whole family posts here. and yes i know who they are, but not all you know. some of you do.
YehudahTzvi – I was not mocking you. I hope you were not referring to me. Yummy was not mocking you either.
Definitely speak with your Rav and then maybe your doctor. Sometimes dreams do mean something and sometimes not. Or it could just be something that was on your mind (whether or not you were aware of it). But if it’s weighing on your mind then talk to someone who can possibly help.
All the best to you. And refuah shelayma on your infection. Oh- sometimes medications can affect your thoughts/dreams too.
kaykay87 and 42 – very good shaylos! takeh something to think about. 😉
Zahavasdad– LOL 🙂 Good one.
ZosHaTorah- don’t forget Yom Tov too.
popa – and you stay away from chicago, k?
see mitzvahgirl613? this is what A Sheep and I were talking about.
Welcome mitzvahgirl613. Yes, it can be a lot of fun and also informative. Just stay away from controversy.
Um….what’s a book?
Popa; I wish you had posted earlier. I just finished filing via turbo tax. arghh!!! Please remind me next year to do what you did.
oomis- Right. The last sentences of your post and my previous post should say it all.
Our first one ended really early – around 1:30!!!! That’s because we were all exhausted from a CRAZY DAY of plumbing problems, unexpected last minute out of town guests, broken jars of freshly made chrain, etc etc.
Our second seder, however ended close to 4:00. Now that’s more like it! But Yummy did her usual shtick of ending her seder before the rest of us and hit the sack by 12:30ish. She’s not a late night person.
avhaben – I just saw it today and i’m in it!! woohoo! We are famous. Wolf, HaLeivi, Daas Yochid, Sam4321, Writersoul, Toi, Gabi, Think first, Derech HaMelech, 147 and others – let’s celebrate.
Looking back at the posts written here 3 months ago, I see that some ppl are upset that it showed up in Country Yossi. Why? You’re writing on a public forum, you are anonymous anyway. Besides you should be careful of what you write anyway.
Shachris? What’s that??? 😉
Ours usually end somewhere between 3 and 5 am. No exaggeration here. If we ever end at 1 or 2, that’s considered early! Once, one of my daughters and I actually watched sunrise right after we finished our seder.
I’ll let you know how late this year’s sedarim will be. See you on chol hamoed.
shein – what a question! of course it will! um.. assuming there’s still internet.
Mod is Moed without the E, therefore they have a heter to post because they are kadosh. Um.. yeah…President without ID is present, so kal v’choimer, m’melah, yeah… um…. the Moieds er…I mean Mods can post all day. Now that you were all zoiche to hear such lumdishe vortlach…. GET BACK TO COOKING AND GETTING READY FOR THE SEDER. (YOU TOO MEN)
Does it sound like I had my Arbah Kosos already??? No… just no sleep.
ZeesKite – Don’t worry! I wasn’t looking for credit for the idea. Sorry if it sounded like it. I was just happy to see that you started this. Let’s see where this goes.
And to the others, I’ve only checked the poetry thread a few times. It’s nice and fun, But I don’t see the connection to this. Poetry is poetry. This is just for nice friendly conversation. If you mean that there are no arguments on the poetry thread, I do agree with that and am happy that at least some topics don’t incite people.
Just a few hours until Seder #1 (well – around 18 or so hours?) So I guess I better get some sleep. good night everyone. Chag Kosher V’Sameach to all.
ZK – great! – you started the thread like i said we should. I think you and I should be the MODS for this thread. Don’t you think so? 😉
ZeesKite – I’m with you! I have no clue what’s going on here. Who’s talking to whom? Why is everyone so hostile and angry? How about you and I start a thread just for us friendly ppl?
Ah – ok Popa – now I get it. It’s just that sometimes ppl do request a specific subtitle, so I thought you requested it. So it was the mods, huh? Hmmm. Do they have something against you? Oh well. Have a wonderful Pesach. I’m going back to cleaning.
syag- totally agree with you!
Announcement: yes you said three items, but it sounded like she threw them all at one time. see your first post. So I’m not sure what happened when.
Announcement- I’m getting confused.
First you wrote:
“I was standing with my teenage daughter on a train platform, waiting for the train to come. While a woman passed us by, she threw something down at our feet. I looked down and saw what looked like a very large gold key around 6 inches long, a regular sized key, and a bill that was at least $20. The woman walked past us and then stood observing us…”
Then you wrote:
“I felt her staring at me, so I automatically looked at her. Her gaze was not friendly so I looked away. Then I felt her throw something at me. My first thought was she is an anti-semite and threw some garbage at me. So I turned to look at her (she already walked away) expecting her to continue on her way, but she didn’t. She had turned around and was watching us…”
Which was it? Did she first pass by and throw it? Or did you first feel her staring at you and then she threw it from where she was standing? Or did she throw two things? Please clarify your story.
Popa – I didn’t have to follow you. I trust the two ppl who saw you here. So tell me (and all of us on the cr) – why in the world do you want to be known as a woman now? Isn’t that beneath you? Don’t you think men are superior?
Announcement: Are you sure she threw it and didn’t just drop it? Then you say she walked passed you and stopped to observe you. Were you watching her from the moment she threw/dropped the item? Are you sure this is the way it happened? If so, then, yes, it sounds weird. There are a lot of strange people out there. Guess you might have met one (or two, if the man was really part of it) of them.
Popa – just one question. When did you become a woman? Someone in my city actually met you at starbucks and at that time you were a man. hmmmm.
I tried searching for a thread that was on here around Purim time but couldn’t find it. But maybe some of you remember reading it. It was written by a bochur telling his story of what happened to him last year. He was going around collecting for his yeshiva. At each house he had some drinks. He didn’t even realize he was getting drunk. In fact he thought he was really holding his liquor well… until he passed out. When he awoke, he was in the hospital. His mother crying and his father saying Tehilim. Bottom line – the doctors told him he was very lucky to have survived. Had he not been brought to the hospital when he was, he would have chas v’shalom died. He wrote his story as a warning to others. NOW IF THAT’S NOT A WAKE UP CALL FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ADVOCATE GETTING SO WASTED, THEN THERE’S NOTHING ELSE TO SAY TO YOU..
Wolf – the thread that was recently started about you was well deserved. You really post with seichel.
guys always seem to have this problem more than girls do. i think the guys make a bigger issue out of it- i mean that does make sense because really because they have all the halachos of shmiras eynayim… i mean, so do us girls but its different. whatever it was really just my opinion- i could totally be wrong.
Yummy, Wolf, and Chasiddishe Gatesheader: I agree with you guys totally!!!! Good for you. Keep it up. Stand up for what’s right!!!
Yummy – I’m proud of you 😉
yossi, are you trying to tell us something??????
cheftze: If that’s true, then shouldn’t Rav Shmuel sue the Jewish Week?
yummy i just noticed you beat me by 11 months. i never even noticed this thread.
hey yummy – while reading all the posts before yours, i was thinking “hey, i’m gonna post about our bag bag” but you beat me to it.
Imma613 – yeah -see the thread I started “went missing?” Like i have nothing better to do erev pesach than start silly threads. but i guess we all need a break, right?
