poster: after reading your post it was so hard for me not to laugh and have the people in my room thinking I am crazy!
for a little armchair psychology….Sometimes, people just do not know how to bring up information or talk about it. They are afraid what other people might think. “They think I am a bad parent”, “where did I go wrong/ make a mistake” or other similar thoughts that put the blame on the person. I do not think that your sister does not need you but she might not know how to express her feelings and issues with you. She seems to be introverted and not know how to release the feelings, even though she may really want to. I know that sometimes when something is going wrong or someone has a problem, they are worried that people may judge them, categorize them, or be prejudice against the other people in the family. For example, if someone is facing a divorce, while family members might feel the need to talk this over with their siblings, they are afraid that now the other siblings have the black mark of a “divorced sibling” and therefore not find shiduchim. They are trying to protect their family, even though people already know. Or they could not know how to bring this up. How do you bring up a “crises” in a normal conversation?
dont go commenting on how “pro israel” hillary is…. or do you have such a short-term memory? Did she not kiss Arafat’s wife a few years ago?!?!?
Explain that without the Romans, we would now be facing “Judean Terrorists” and not “Palestinian”. How about that for ironic?
“I always lie” is another one… it cant possibly be true because he must be lying when he says it!
can we keep playing? i miss the game each time…
and teen, sorry but you missed a few words: sect,scot, cest, act… yes, they are real words….
i feel like a new member.. i just restarted after a 2 week hiatus and i am so lost!!! soo…. i see i missed asdfghjkl admitting to not living in ireland.. too bad- i wish i could still say that I know someone who lives there!
do u have nothing better to do at 5 am then be in the CR? I think thats what I call an addiction. I enjoy reading and posting on CR but to stay up till 5 am? no wonder I cant understand what is going on here!
for me: shabbos.. I really dont know how the goyim live without it. But since you said physical items…. I think I couldnt live without a little oxygen….
I know that this is an old thread but i feel like I am dropping and need support! HELP!
that is so cool! how did you do it?
I have come to the same realization- it does not pay to pay attention to these rabid dogs. I have spent time refuting their responses but then realized “there are more of them and they have more time to make up SNs to post ‘i agree with you’ comments.” Every so often respond, but “reporting abuse” may be better. Perhaps go to a different computer where there is a different IP address so the site doesnt realize it is the same person commenting and reporting abuses all the time. Oh, and another thing, if you are writing to your congressman/other officials dont give winding arguments. I was told to just write “support proposition ___” and if you want, underneath write why. this way, they do not count your vote for the wrong policy. But generally, they do not read the reasons and just check off a box saying “one constituent wants a yes”…
I think everyone has secrets that, deep down inside, they do not want others to know about. There is a problem that people want to know what is going on in other’s lives without the realization that it might not be appropriate or appreciated if it was to be leaked to the public. If one has a friend that they are close to, it might be better to tell them in advance of the general public. ie: they are the first people you call after family when it comes to a mazel tov. That way the secret-holder can keep their privacy without the friend having harsh feelings.
Realize what should be kept a secret and what should not. Know that sometimes one needs to break the confidence of another in order to spare them harm. Someone who knows that their friend is about to be engaged to a boy/girl who has a recognized medical issue (fact and not maybe- medical or psychological) should tell their friend, once asking a competent Rav about hilchos lashan hara. Once someone is officially engaged, it becomes harder to spare them from the agony of marrying a psychotic or otherwise ill person.
Another funny about telemarketers… Someone asked one of them, “What’s your name?”
“I was told to tell you my name is Robert” (Indian accent)…
So are they all having identity crises? I have the feeling that they dont know anyone named Robert in India (as a native).
I really needed a laugh and I havent been on in a while.. thanks all! I really appreciate it!!!
How is signing a DNR categorized? Is it allowing suicide?
About rationing of organs, unfortunately there is a bigger demand then supply. Many people, whether for religious or other reasons, will not allow their organs to be harvested. I know of someone who was niftar because they needed a bone marrow transplant. In case you dont know, anyone who is a match can give it, and it does not harm the giver in the long run- and they save a life. This person found a match from a list and the would-be donor refused. This person died because they had no siblings and could not find another suitable donor. How can someone stand by and in effect kill someone?
Joseph- my point exactly! If there are two who admit it, then I bet we can find people who do not use it as their sn… But really, Jews are big in the doctor/lawyer professions…..
Thanks… I hate it that children are learning spanish instead of learning ENGLISH! If we are in America, it is time to speak the language of the country! I have no problem with being bilingual, trilingual or like a friend of mine who knows about 5 languages fluently but I do have an issue when I want to go anywhere and must speak in spanish, or spanish is the first option on the telephone or the signs are in spanish first, and then english!!! WE ARE IN AMERICA! Enough of my tirade…

(as in AND)
I use firefox- thats why my stuff never look right!
What about those of us not from NY? There is life outside NY, so then it cant be a necessity of life…
But if I ever make it to NY, where can I find one?
ASK your LOR (sorry, couldnt help myself). Why not smash them with a hammer, can opener or other large and heavy item?
Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with an expensive double-pane energy efficient kind. Today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago, and I still hadn’t paid for them.
Well, hellloooo,………..just because I’m blonde doesn’t mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him exactly what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves! Helllooooo? It’s been a year! I told him.
There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. He never called back. Guess I won that stupid argument. I bet he felt like an idiot.
So whats with the birds- I still say none are there because they all flew away and it is hard to hit a flying bird in one shot…
by the way, whats a razzle?
I think we are all pretty wrong.. the most common two last names are: MD and ESQ….
Itziks- you crack me up!! 🙂 keep em coming!
Hurry, before the President takes away our freedom of speech with the fairness doctrine and all that…
Come on! lets play another game….i missed this one- no fair!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (ok, not as fancy as the others… I am just not that computer literate)
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
so, you get 7 guesses? Is that how many body parts we are playing with?
🙂 Itzik 🙂

White, Black, Big and Small were the main ones in Europe. Oh, you never heard people being called that? I am sure you have: Weiss, Shwartz, Gross and Klein. Those 4 are in the top 10.
I guess that would work, but then why would you care about how many hours you are in between meat and milk? and would treif count? I am not sure…
Mrs. Beautiful- great jokes! thank you for bringing us back on topic!
I wish I could find somewhere else, but it doesnt seem like it…
I have been being polite, and I tried giving the benefit of the doubt that this person wont talk to anyone, but the problem is when I hear conversations during lunch or whatever…. normal conversations and one would never believe that they dont happen with everyone. But thanks for your help! I really appreciate it! Your advice is well received over here!!!
and then we can stop the random talking, qwertyuiop?
can we please stick to the humor and not with the socialization? I look forward to hearing good jokes. Please stay on topic and let us chat on the right topic at the right time. Now, anyone have any new good jokes? or bad ones even? I am in such dire need for a joke or two….
moishe- your right in a way.. the question was posed to a friend in school… what happens when you eat meat, and then realize that you ate aged cheese a little bit before.. then you are in a weird state where you cant eat either milk or meat!
You are so right! Isnt the reason we have usernames is so that we remain anonymous? If you want people to know who you are, change your sn to “Shlomoweiss” or “Rivkishwartz” ect…. (and no, I do not know people by those names, I just tried to come up with random names…fill in your own.)
translation please areivim (or squeak cuz you know what it means….)????
thanks guys and gals for being there for me!!! Its starting to work a little… I actually spoke to this person a whole sentence or two! (I am not making this up… that’s whats crazy about it all). THANKS!!!

Lets not let him destroy it.. i need my help…
I_______ wanted to yell at someone and instead, to calm down, came on the computer! It really works! Thank you everyone!
<blushing>
I just saw it… I LIKE IT!!! this should also be put under the shadchan-MIL joke forum…. people will get a kick out of it….
caffeine highs make me actually want to do work…otherwise- here I am!
