    Don’t be scared off from seeking medical care. Accutane is only used as a last resort. First there is retinoids cream or gels for comedonal acne. Then these can be combined with topical antimicrobials for papulopustual. Then the next step is to give oral cyclines or erythros. Accutane is last.

    cocacola – Even though you’re technically correct, but noone enjoys punishment. Equivalent to what you are saying is going to a cancer ward and telling the patients -Ya’know everything happens for a reason, so you shouldn’t have any misgivings that you got this illness and you shouldn’t regret getting it. I’d like to see the reaction. There is nothing wrong with regreting a bad marriage, but if you haven’t been there you have no clue. Did you ever learn the Torah concept of Nosay B’ol C’havero? Do you have any idea what that means? Are you the type of person that goes into a Shiva house were someone lost a kid and tell them -No biggy- it was Bashert?

    cherrybim “hello99 – You are misleading the CR readership because you make implications and assumptions and present them as definitive fact.”

    Funny you are doing the same thing here-

    “It’s all baba meisa, no hashgacha needed for soap or sponges. But once you have hashgacha for one brand, it creates the status quo.”

    I proved that the kashrus agencies hold there is a difference between hand soap and soap or dishwashing hand liquid/ soap sponges. I also found that they seem to hold that the powder or liquid going actually into the dishwasher doesn’t need a hechsher because it’s sufficiently strong that it’s poison. But it seems that all seem to hold that what you hand wash your dishes with- needs or should be kosher as opposed to body soap or actual dishwashing machine powder. Hence all the hechsherim on those liquid dish detergents. You might not have meant this in your above post, but you are misleading people!

    I personally never drink coffee. I once had a cup of coffee from a starbucks in one of these service areas because I was really tired. I doubt there was a problem because it looked like that’s all they served.

    I do know that where I live a lot of frum people go to the starbucks and get cofee and cookies. I already posted that the cookies are treif, now there is a Shaila on their coffee.

    From th OK -Kosher Kitchen:

    “Also necessary are separate sets of draining boards, draining racks, dish sponges, scouring pads, dish towels, and tablecloths. Dish soap, cleanser, and scouring pads used for dishes and pots must have a hechsher (kashrut certification).”

    From the cRc:

    “Bar-soap has always been made from (non-kosher) animal fat and there are respected halachic authorities that hold that one should not use such soap for washing their body. However, the common practice is to be lenient on this issue because (a) many disagree with the aforementioned opinion and (b) some argue that our soaps are sufficiently inedible that even the stricter opinion would agree that they can be used in spite of their being made from non-kosher animal fat.”

    aries – You mean TE, not Purim. I just looked up the Halacha. For the other fasts, the SA brings down pregnant women should fast. For Taanis Esther, the Mishna Brurah brings down a machlokes and he comes out in the Shaar Tzion that you should do whatever the Minhag is where you are. I think most pregnant women don’t fast TE. And some pregnant women don’t fast the other fasts besides Tisha B’av.

    Let’s say he is -why wouldn’t you make him aware of this problem? I let my kids drink it -if they really want and ask me first. My main problem is that I might forget that I need to get more for Shabbos because it’s not something I buy every week and it’s not something that is normally drunk in the house.

    You bring out some interesting points:

    1. That there is a lack of Derech Eretz in our generation starting at least twenty years ago. I don’t think such a thing would have happenned when I was a kid. But, even some shuls nowadays this wouldn’t have occurred. I know the Rebbitzin of my shul makes sure every lady has a seat!

    2. Not speaking out then to whomever -to complain and just bottling it up inside of you, has done nothing but cause you uneeded anguish. You proved the point -Never bottle up anything inside!

    3. When did it become more important to listen to Megilla than keep Derech Eretz? I find many people who have every chumra on every D’rabbonim but keeping D’oraysahs of Bein Odom L’chavero is non-existant! Who was Mechanech these people?

    Everyone please remember, even if you yourself have Derech Eretz, you should make a Mechoh (protest) if you see someone not doing what they are supposed to. My mother sometimes can’t believe certain behaviors. People jumping into a parking space, while she was waiting. Not letting her go ahead of them in line, being that she is old and only has a few items.

    It’s simple. I don’t regret my kids, but I suffered for many years. If I would have known, how much suffering I’d have to endure- I’d not have gone there in the first place. Separate the spouse from the kids and it’s easier to grasp our feelings.

    anon for this – “Health, would you please clarify a question I had? Are you saying that in Olam Haba, Avigayil is married to Naval and Bas-sheva, the mother of Shlomo HaMelech, is married to Uriah? Neither can be married to Dovid HaMelech, since each married him after the death of her spouse, correct? Thanks.”

    I’m not the biggest Talmid Chochom in the world, esp. since I can’t recall names of seforim. But I guess it is better to have some of the knowledge, than just to make it up because they are unwilling to look into it.

    I’ll try and guess. The Gemorrah talks a lot about Zivug Rishon & Zivug Sheini. I think the Gemorrah says that Zivug Rishon is the main one. It could be those original marriages were those to their Zivug Sheini and Dovid Hamelech whom they were the Zivug Rishon to -married them secondary. There weren’t be a problem of Aishes Ish because once you’re not an Aishes Ish due to death, it wouldn’t come back. The reason, I think after Techias Hamaysim you go back to your first husband is because it is your main Zivug or Zivug Rishon.

    Or you could say Ain Hochi Nami, in the next world they will go back to their first marriages. So why did Dovid have to marry them at all? Maybe Hashem wanted these children only to come out from these Zivugim.

    Shmuel294- I don’t know what you’re talking about. No starbucks that I know of has a hechsher. The store put up a sign advertising that the cookies that they sell there are kosher. Well they might have been kosher until starbucks got a hold of them. Do you work in a kashrus org.? How do you know their coffee is kosher? If the cRc says there might be a problem, before you or anyone Machs Avek at least contact them to see what they have to say. Sitting around and Maching Avek is easy thing to do, esp. if you think you’re the Grose Talmid Chochom. But watch out, if there is a problem, you can’t claim shogeg anymore!

    It’s not that poshut -what a zivug means. Also, supposedly every Neshama is a part of Hashem. A person has to do, what they have to do in this world, let Hashem worry about the rest. If someone made their proper Histadlus and still didn’t end up getting married, Hashem isn’t going to hold it against them. But remember I said proper, it might not be what you consider proper. A lot of people are just way too picky!

    Wolf – The problem is the Torah’s logic is not based on your logic. The Torah for this world says if a spouse dies, the women can remarry. You went ahead and carried this logic on for a different world. It’s not anymore logical than what I read in the sefer. Obviously the mechaber of the sefer knows more than you. It wasn’t a sefer written by someone in our generation.

    I know a problem that I’ve been told about Starbucks, that a lot of people are Nichshol in. They sell this cookie and people found out that it’s kosher. The store even hangs a Tzeteil (paper) about the hechsher. So a lot of frum people eat it. So what’s the problem? It’s treif -the cookie- because what they do is heat up their cookies beforehand to make them crisp in the treif oven and rewrap them. Noone asked except for one person I know. So everybody eats the cookies because they are “kosher”!

    I wouldn’t underestimate a chusuver hechsher like cRc. You don’t know what goes on behind the scenes.

    Wolf – “and when moshiach comes, who will be her husband?

    Neither, since her last marriage was terminated by her death or her husbands. Therefore, when she is resurrected, she will be able to marry whichever one she wants (or even someone else entirely).”

    No, you need a mekor for the above. If the sefer says Oolam Haba, I doubt there is a difference in Moshiach times.
