So many choices! Should I wear a coat by Maariv, or by Halston? Perhaps one by Donna Karan? Maybe I should wear a coat by YSL? What to do, what to do?
Haifa.
Take your medication faithfully. That usually clears up the acute form.
By the way, “gastr-” means stomach, and “itis” means inflammation. So “gastritis” in lay terms is “stomach inflammation.”
Don’t ever, ever, ever step on a cockroach. If it’s a she, stepping on it will release the eggs and give you more cockroaches. The best thing to do is squirt it with soapy water (plain water evaporates too quickly)then when it does, scoop it up and flush it.
From “Psychology Today”:
With neuroscience, we can confirm what our ancestors took for granted—that letting babies get distressed is a practice that can damage children and their relational capacities in many ways for the long term. We know now that leaving babies to cry is a good way to make a less intelligent, less healthy but more anxious, uncooperative and alienated person who can pass the same or worse traits on to the next generation.
You should read the whole article. You can Google it. It’s called “Dangers of ‘Crying It Out.'”
There used to be one. I don’t know what happened to him (her?).
That would be correct, that is what I took when I went there a few shabbosim ago. I think it makes most sense based on the itineraries to spend monday and tuesday in Jerusalem, and then go to Haifa on Wednesday. Haifa is a two hour bus ride from Jerusalem. Then on Thursday, take a bus to the Kinneret (a must see)
If you are planning on staying overnight in Haifa, I recommend either the Gallery Hotel or the Hotel Theodor. They are both within easy walking distance of shuls and kosher food. And shopping.
Of course you are going to want to spend a day in Haifa.
Take the #940 bus to Haifa. From the bus station, go through the tunnel and take a walk along the beach.
In Hadar you will be able to find many mincha minyanim. Just ask around.
If you want any other ideas of things to see and do in Haifa, just ask.
Having read this complex issue, 1 question still eludes me & my spouse badly:- Given that all of these correspondence have us believe that it should be relatively easy for a boy to get married, unlike for a girl, so why is it, that I & my spouse seem to know so many more single men than single women out there? Are we missing something? or are we out of the loop?
I also seem to know a lot of single men and can’t think of any women for them.
My friend’s daughter was on bed rest very early in her most recent pregnancy. My friend moved in for a few weeks to help out. Pretty much the entire world knew.
Don’t forget to visit Haifa!
What’s the difference between football and soccer and how are they different between the U.S. and Europe?
What Americans call “soccer” is called football in the rest of the world. The called “football” in America is a totally different game. For purposes of this discussion, we will use the American terms.
Soccer is played with a round ball. The players are allowed to kick the ball or hit it with other body parts (primarily the head), but are not allowed to touch it with their hands. The object is to get the ball into the net at the end of the field. Each time your team does that it gets a point.
Football is played with an oval ball. The ball is either carried or thrown. The object is to get it to the end of the field. Someone can carry it there, or someone can throw it to someone already waiting there to catch it. When that happens it is called a touchdown and gets the team six points.
The team that is in control of the ball gets four tries (called “downs”) to move the ball 10 yards closer to the end zone. If they don’t do it, they lose control. If they are down to the last down, and don’t think they can make it, they kick the ball. That is called “punting.” If it goes through the posts on the end zone, that is a field goal and is worth three points.
The team also gets to kick the ball toward the goal posts after a touchdown. If they get it through, they get another point.
Don’t listen to popa.
Your question is impossible to answer without more information.
If she is sitting around all day doing nothing, than you are not being unrealistic. However, if she is taking care of children, cooking, cleaning, running errands, etc., then it’s possible you are being quite unrealistic.
It’s ok, you can stay there and not bother us about grammer. We don’t really care.
It’s “grammar.”
Are other internet chat rooms and blogs better?
Facebook is not perfect, but it’s better. The only other place I frequent is a Mensa site, and it’s far, far better.
I took it about 20 years ago when I was considering becoming a nurse. I had not taken any college chemistry, and it had been nearly 20 years since high school chemistry. I did not study at all. I missed about half the chemistry questions. I still scored 99th percentile.
In other words, don’t worry about it.
I taught in a frum girls’ high school for nearly a year. I could not believe how badly behaved those girls were. When I was that age, we never would have dreamed of that kind of behavior, and that was in public school.
You wife can’t dress “more attractive.” Nor can she dress “less attractive.”
What you want is for her to dress more attractively.
“Dress” in this case is a verb and must be modified by an adverb, not an adjective.
The CR makes my BP rise.
What a wonderful discussion. I guess I should come here more often.
“We welcome for the very first time… Mr. & Mrs. Chaim Cohen!”
You can be sure, if I ever get married, that won’t happen. I find that introduction quite annoying.
Hmmm. Ramat Eshkol.
Which Ramat Eshkol? The one in Jerusalem or the one in Haifa? 😛
That’s assuming there is a “next big earthquake.”
And what’s wrong with Haifa?
That’s funny. I thought the lesson was leave NY and come home to Eretz Yisroel.
Wow haifagirl! Impressive post! You should join the CR more often!
How do you get away with it though? I’ve found many members become deeply offended if their spelling/ grammar/ general incomprehensibility is pointed out. We could definitely use someone like you around here!
Myself included…
I get away with it because I am “Chief of Grammar Enforcement Commandos.” 🙂
Since the halacha is to stay, I usually stay. I do recall one in recent memory where I didn’t stay. I received permission from the host to leave early.
When there is mixed seating at a simcha, you are usually sat with your family anyway
seated
For what’s its worth, most people gather near the Chosson/Kallah table during bentching anyway, so rearranging seating for Birchat HaMazon has never been that much of a problem.
How many people actually stay until the bentching? What do you propose to do about the people who want to bentch and leave early?
English is the official language for more countries than any other language.
Face it. the US is the world leader in power, finance and influence.
Until China takes over!
It’s no wonder so many people in the CR can’t write properly. They can’t read!
WIY posted: Do you have separate glasses for meat and dairy, or do you use mugs for dairy, or plastic cups?
That is not a halachic shailah. It is a survey question.
Most people have not been answering the survey. They have been stating halacha (or making jokes).
For those who didn’t get it, WIY posted again: THIS ISNT A HALACHIC QUESTION PER-SE I AM JUST ASKING WHAT PEOPLE USE IN THEIR HOMES! I DONT MEAN TO SCREAM BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO BOLD!
Still, people are stating halacha instead of answering the question.
1) LEARN TO READ! (And I do mean to shout!)
2) My answer to the survey question is (separate) plastic for everything.
3) To WIY: To make things bold:
<strong>thing you want bold</strong>I was at a wedding that had some mixed tables. They had two separate dance floors, one at each end, and there was a mechitzah around the women’s dance floor. (Therefore, even the men who were at the mixed tables could not see the women dancing.)
I could be wrong, and I could be confusing Health with someone else, but I remember someone wanting to buy a present for a friend who was graduating from nursing school. The person asked Health for suggestions, and it turned out that Health was that friend.
If I’m wrong, I apologize.
Nobody in any minyan walks slow. There may be, however, those who walk slowly.
Generally speaking, legal cuts lead to a driveway leading to a garage or the back of the property. Illegal cuts are usually made directly in front of the home with no driveway.
Must be a NY thing.
“Crisis” is singular. “Crises” is plural. “Crisis'” makes no sense.
We don’t have that issue here. You know, living in Eretz Yisroel makes a lot of things easier.
I am still wondering how you know if a driveway is or is not legal?
Google “world’s smallest political quiz.” It will explain a lot.
The literature I’ve read says it begins after 40.
How do you know if they got a permit or not?
Haifagirl, I do make my own meals. But it is just lonely!!
It’s only lonely if you eat them by yourself. Invite somebody.
I had a great definition of “older.” The mods didn’t like it. 🙁
Here’s another easy one:
1 bag frozen peas, thawed
1 red pepper diced
1/4 – 1/2 cup cashews
1 bottle Italian dressing
Mix.
Even people who hate peas love this salad.
gotbeer: It doesn’t work like that. With no parentheses, you don’t subtract 6, you subtract 1. In PEDMAS you do the division and multiplication from left to right, then the addition and subtraction from left to right. You don’t put in parentheses that weren’t in the original problem.
I tried posting that joke (only about a carrot)a long time ago and the mods wouldn’t let it through. I guess they’ve gotten more tolerant.
yeshivaguy45: 14 + 0 = 14. (1 x 0 = 0)
Believe me. Just call me publicschoolgirl. 😉
Segulah for marriage: Look for a suitable wife (Kiddushin 2b)
So that’s my problem! I guess I’ll just have to start looking for a suitable wife.
yeshivaguy45: Read the problem again. You missed a minus.
I would like to add that singles are not always sitting at home waiting to be invited. Sometimes we actually (gasp!) make our own meals.
When you invite a single, and she respectfully declines, change the topic. Pushing will only push her away. At least it will if I’m the one you’re pushing.
And remember, until your friends, who are your age, are having grandchildren, don’t call yourself an “older” single. Thanks.
When someone invites me for a meal, and I tell them, “Thank you, but I’m eating at home,” why do they push and push and push and push? Do they think that if they push enough I’ll give in? That I’ll just forget about the wonderful meal I worked hard to prepare at home, the meal I made from food I spent my hard-earned money on? Why would they think that?
And if they think I’ll be more likely to accept an invitation in the future, they can think again.
