yaff80- Just out of curiosity -do you go out everday in the street and when you see people talking on the phone (not hands-free), texting, speeding, blowing stop signs or red lights, do you go and report it?
newhere -Do you have a job? Did you have an easy time getting it? What is the general salary for newbie lawyers? Also, that guy I know -what’s your opinion on getting a masters from NYU- will it help employment? I shouldn’t be asking these questions, but I’m just curious how your field compares to mine (in medicine).
Yummy you’re so Funny! I guess I could start a new speciality in medicine- Eyeball Stuffer. Can’t you see the ads now- If you sneeze and your eyes have popped -come to so and so for a push in!
While falling asleep while driving is a cause of accidents and I see it bothers everyone here (which it should); does it bother you when people don’t buckle up or when they talk or text? Falling asleep -noone does consciously, but everything else they do with knowing, yet they continue to do it! Why is it so prevalent?
Sender – I personally don’t like beef liver. It’s too strong, like carp.
I’ve been falling asleep so many times over so many years, I don’t even remember when I first did it. B”H, I’m finished my schooling. Studying in the Health Sciences and doing rotations can be very tiring.
Wow, I see we have a lot of lawyers or lawyer wannabes on YWN. Besides me, a wannabe med prof., and Dr.(Mod) 80, how come there aren’t more med prof on this site. There used to be an eye doc here. What was his name -Feivel?
You can close your eyes for second while driving- nothing will happen. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fallen asleep while driving, for a couple a seconds and bli ayin hora, nothing happenned.
I love the fact that these newlyweds try these things, but give them a year and they all buy Shabbos! American girls!
Sender -It’s much easier to just buy Gebrouten Chicken Labor and fry with onions and oil and then grind by hand.(Or food processor.) Add hard boiled eggs to the grinder with liver acc. to your taste.
Found this on kosher recipes:
“Grandma’s Gefilte Fish (pareve) (p. 144)
Recipe Ingredients:
1 lb. pike
1 lb. carp or sea bass
2 T. matzo meal or bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
2 onions
1/2 C. water
1 t. salt, or to taste
Dash pepper
2 carrots, scraped
1 stalk celery
Skin and bone fish, saving skin and bones for later use. Put fish and 1 onion through the finest blade of a food chopper, or chop finely. Add beaten eggs, matzo meal, water and seasonings. Mix well.
Using wet hands, form into balls the size of a lemon. Slice the other onion, carrots and celery and put in a large, heavy pot. Add to this the skin and bones of the fish. Over them, gently place the fish balls. Cover with the cold water and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that forms, and simmer for 1 1/2-2 hours.
Remove fish balls and continue to cook broth until it is reduced to about 1/3 of its original volume. Strain broth through several layers of cheesecloth and return fish balls and carrots to broth.
Cool. Serves 6-8.
(Suggestion: Fish balls may be made smaller to serve as appetizers.)”
I personally would switch the carp for whitefish, carp has too much of a fishy, strong taste. There are more gefilte fish recipes there, I just picked the one I thought was the most heimish.
I dunno. Does NYU give such a degree? Also, do you think he has a better chance of finding a job, since he doesn’t want to work for himself?
It’s not so rosy after law school. I just met a guy who told me his brother -in -law graduated and couldn’t find a job, so he’s getting a masters’ by NYU, I think. Homeowner -how is a master’s going to help and is there a masters’ in legal studies?
What did you eat for supper last night?
Honesty is the best policy! Most of the times parents who lie, do it for themselves -they have more of a separation anxiety than the kids!
Tifferes Mordechai – Why is everybody calling it a new place? Isn’t that one (I forgot the name) that was just fixed over? Noone calls renovated places as new.
If you’re Lubab you have more destinations to choose from than the rest of us. There are thousands of Chabad houses all over the world.
I actually have done both -I sometimes leave my watch on the old time when they change the clock, and I’ve set my watch a few minutes early. I eventually switch to the right time because your mind can only be fooled a little bit. What I mean by this -is that everybody knows the right time but you can fool yourself a little bit. Esp. in the morning, when your mind is a little groggy. But there comes a time, when it becomes automatic switching in your mind to the right time, so I lose any advantage; at this point I change to the correct time.
Of course -I know docs who make 7 figures and some who don’t make six. How much you make doesn’t reflect how good you are. My advice- Don’t go into the medical field for money, because if that’s the reason- a lot of times you’ll lose focus on patient care. If you end up killing a patient, you basically traded this world for the next! The only reason to practice medicine is because you care!
demo- Sounds from your description, Montreal is better than Toronto. Never had a problem getting any food there (Montreal). A lot of people go to Plattsburgh on a Sun. for cheaper shopping. I always heard that “Toronoh” -you had to be wealthy to live there. I’m not a Canadien; just was a “frequent flier”.
GMT -Whatever you post about me is true. I enjoy it. I post things that mods come and delete or edit. That’s their job, not mine. Also, what makes the way I post here have anything to do with my attitude towards patients? You don’t know me and how could you possibly jump to such a conclusion? Also, acc. to Homeowner’s logic, since you didn’t say what degree you have, you must be a Nursing Home administrator!
Homeowner- speaking about languages -you claim it’s My misguided point. I’m not the one who classifies what is or what isn’t a mental illness. You can argue with the experts who do, but you use me in order to convince people. People would probably not give much credence to your posts, if they realized who you really are arguing on!
There was a time in Quebec politics that the frum yidden were considering leaving. It was very scary for Jews. There was a lot of fear of anti-semitism. I think it had to do with the separatist movement. This was either in the 70’s or 80’s not hundreds of years ago.
eclipse -Was the same thing going on in Toronto?
nfgo3 -Myringotomy tubes are ventilation tubes. My comment was on “enables fluid to drain into the eustacian tube”. The fluid goes from in the ear to out, not to the eustacian tube, when there are tubes. Reread my anatomy lesson.
How?
As a divorcee, I agree with Gabboim, artchill (except #4), cleverjewishpun, yaakov doe, oomis and mostly with truth be told as possible reasons. The others sound like yentishkeit without logic or sense in reality.
Popa -Many reasons; 1. in the frum community it’s a very big stigma to be even slightly mentally ill. 2. From a medical standpoint -how to treat it.
If I would think into it, I probably could come up with more, but this is what I came up with off the top of my head!
Bowwow -try some of things I posted above or some of the posters above naturalists approach, before you go for tubes again.
nfgo3 – Please verify your info before you post.
“enables fluid to drain into the eustacian tube”.
The ventilation tubes cause air to come in and fluid to go out!
Anatomy Lesson -“eustacian tube” -is between the middle ear and pharynx (throat). Its main purpose is to drain the ear (there are other purposes also). If it gets clogged, you can have problems. Also, bacteria can travel up the tube to the ear.
popa_bar_abba -Hey Popa, you didn’t include WIY. Does this mean WIY is someone else?
aposhitermaidel -It was before R”H, they hadn’t done any aveiros yet the whole year, so they had to Chap Araiyn to have something to do teshuva on. As bad as it was to open a mouth to the stewardess about his 9 kids, he definitely is a Sharfer Yid!
mewho -Who was this pediatrician? If you don’t want to say his name, what community do you live in?
“For the life of me, I do not understand why you are emphasizing that “overeating is not a disorder.” If G-d forbid the DSM-V eventually doesn’t classify it as such, how many unhealthy people in our community will continue their “fressing ways” to the inevitable complications of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other terrible problems?
I am sure you don’t want that, hence I don’t understand your point.”
`
The reason you are the only one still left on this page who doesn’t understand my point is because you never read the whole post.
Even the ones I posted against originally have agreed to it. My point is simple -Overeating and obesity might be medical disorders, but they aren’t mental disorders! Kapish?
Gabboim – “Why automatically treat a divorced boy as second class and not consider him (assuming he has no children.)”
Why the parenthesis? Do you believe that women who become step-mothers are jealous of their husbands when they spend time with their kids, instead of just with her?!?
anon for this -“Health, Do you really think “the left” is afraid of Sarah Palin running for president?”
I don’t think they are scared per say of her against Obama. What they are afraid of- is her presence in the national arena. She might have some women who have been blindly voting for the democrats because of their past record on “women rights”, to start thinking twice!
eclipse -“When my (sleepless) kids were younger,I wanted to design a House of Sleep for exhausted mothers like myself (with no family in town) to rent a bed by the hour and just sleep!!”
It’s funny you mentioned this, a couple of months ago I was reading some article -that in Manhattan some people are renting out beds for naps for the business people there.
While I believe that you shouldn’t have to settle like you say, a lot of posters here have said, marrying someone with your own status isn’t called settling. A point I would like to make, is that I don’t consider marrying a divorced guy with kids settling. Settling is marrying a guy who has mental problems that are severe like schizophernia. I won’t use myself as an example because I’m Nogeia B’dovor, but my former sister-in-law who was never married -married a divorcee with two kids. They are happily married for many years. I think it’s hypocrisy to say I won’t even consider a divorcee, but it’s wrong for others not to even consider a girl from a broken home!
It shows how crazy the left is. They don’t know why this guy shot up a bunch of people, but immediately they blame the extreme right. They have a problem with logic- if the guy was a right- wing terrorist, why target a democrat who’s in the middle? What- he couldn’t find any real liberal leftys? I think most of them are extreme leftys. He was probably an anarchist! I think they picked on Palin because they are scared that she will take away the women vote from them! Also, when a Muslim terrorist shot a bunch of people on a army base, all the politicians & media kept saying -don’t jump to conclusions -maybe this wasn’t a racist thing. Even days later, when they admitted that he was a Muslim terrorist, most of them couldn’t say the word “terrorist”. This tatic will backfire, just like it did when the left did it with Rabin’s murder and eventually Israel voted in the Right. So in the long run -this is a good thing -Obama and the left’s control of the Senate -their days are numbered, B”H!
mikehall -Those are the high school kids. Where I live, the Bais Medrash guys get to smoke in the yeshiva building, just not in the Bais Medrash.
It’s only “bummy” in yeshivos that don’t allow it, it’s not “bummy” in most yeshivos.
eclipse – If your Ex is being negligent in your daughter’s care (depending I guess what she puts up there), you can bring it to court.
Professional – Bringing one case shows nothing on either the org. (Relief) or the therapist. Did anyone ask the therapist why? Maybe they required a double appt. -being that it was the first time. A lot of therapists schedule a double for the first time -hence the $350 charge. One session is anywhere between 40 minutes to an hour depending on the therapist.
Who wants to switch -you or him?
Actually, the gov. has a thing called the food pyramid -it’s online and it has recently been updated. It tells you all about food categories and how much daily. For an actual diet, either go to a nutritionalist or join a diet online.
Homeowner- “What do you do for a living, by the way?”
I’m in the Health/Medical field. Hence my screen name!
I do recall the same subject and all the rants last year. If the school administrators weren’t online last year or don’t care about YWN posters’ opinions, what makes you think it will be different this year?!?
SC – I never got the impression that you weren’t respectful towards me.
I used to hitchhike when I was a kid with frum people. I give rides to frum kids, when I can. But somehow I don’t think a lot of kids nowadays have any safety awareness. Eg.- Tonite I was driving home -the block to my home is narrow, even without snow. There were three bochurim walking down the street -when they saw me they stuck out their thumb. The problem was -they weren’t walking on the sidewalk because it’s covered with snow and ice and they weren’t wearing reflectors. I almost hit all three, but saw them at the last second. I was going to yell at them, but I just have given up because this is an everyday occurance. Shomer Pissayim Hashem!
Homeowner- “Compulsive overeating is indeed a psychological problem. Or, do you think people eat themselves to 100 lbs overweight willingly with knowledge of all the health problems?”
I know you’re a lawyer, but this doesn’t make you an expert in everything. Your medical opinions wouldn’t be held up even in a court of law! Whether people have psychological issues or just don’t control their taavos, doesn’t make them mentally ill. My point is (for the third time)- overeating or the way you call it compulsive overeating isn’t a mental disorder/eating disorder. Eating disorders such as “binge eating”, anorexia, and bulimia are!
2morecents – “I believe that being 25 pounds overweight is a much bigger health issue than smoking and yet even with the fact that extra weight is an issue, most people have a much kinder outlook at overeating than they do to smoking.
I don’t smoke and never have and I’m not overweight either. If I had to suffer the ill effects of one of those 2, I would take my chances with smoking and a lean body over being a non smoker but living with a load of extra weight ruining my cholesterol, blood pressure, joints and hormones any day.”
Your opinion is invalid compared to many health experts. Just because you don’t like the smoking ads, doesn’t make you a scientist. The fact is being overweight can be unhealthy, but there is nothing more dangerous than smoking as far as your typical addiction goes!
OOmis – Believe it or not, I understood your post the first time, but you didn’t get my point. I actually have two teenage daughters, so I’m very cognizant about what you are saying. I also can’t comment about single’s events -being I’ve never been to one. I doubt I would ever go, it’s not done in my circles. I never thought about the halacha as far as attending, but I’ve posted here in the CR many times that I don’t feel it’s wrong for a boy to just meet up with a girl without a shadchan.
Back to my point -the easiest way to stop this behavior is for the girl to come right out and say “No, thank you, I’m not interested”. This I believe is the best way from a Torah perspective because the man will understand if he continues he is doing something wrong. It’s also best for the girl, even though she might be uncomfortable with this approach, because she won’t start harboring resentment towards this guy. This in itself is ossur because of “Lo sisna” (Hating in your heart) and also she might come to be Oiver LH! So in my opinion, it’s better to be “rude or hurt his feelings” than coming onto hate or speaking bad about this fellow!
Mod -80 – You’re too old to playing mind games on people!
