  • in reply to: nails that are cut off and pregnant woman? #786429
    hudi
    Participant

    I heard that the thing with the nails applies to all women, but pregnant women are especially careful, because their baby can be harmed. I heard there is a connection to Adam and Chava before the cheit. Their entire bodies were covered with a layer of nail like material. And after Chava gave Adam the fruit and they sinned, most of the nail covering came off and only remained on the fingertips and toes. Chavah was blamed for this, so all women who are decended from her, can “remind” Hashem or the satan or whoever when they step on a nail, who can be mekatreig against them.

    Has anyone else heard this? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    WIY thanks for clarifying what you think. And I totally agree that actions are what is needed.

    I just remember this generally from studying, not specific drugs. And I’m not talking about a specific class either. I am actually going back to my pharm book to find an example for you.

    Example – CCB – suffix = -dipine. Exceptions: Diltiazem and Verapamil

    Example – alpha blockers – suffix = -zosin. Exceptions: Tamulosin and Silodosin.

    You’re right, there are none that I know of in the beta blockers.

    Yes it would be overstepping the boundaries of tznius to ask the frum guys.

    Pick a refined non-jewish girl (if you have those). You can identify the refined ones by their speech (they do not curse) and their dress (no low necklines).

    Non-jews are not a different species of people, as I was shocked to find when I started college, straight out of seminary. They have personalities just like we do, and you might even identify with them and even (shocker) like them. However, it’s still important to keep a healthy distance.

    I care! But I still think that tefillah should not be understated. Tefillah is in replace of the karbanos, which were used to atone for aveiros.

    I don’t know who you think I am, but if you were to see me, you would see a very a tzanua individual.

    I don’t want anyone to get the idea that I am not a tznius person and I don’t know halacha based on the fact that I have questions about grey areas. I have read tznius halacha books many times and am very aware of halacha.

    I’m not ashamed of wanting to follow halacha. Quite the contrary, I’m asking these questions because I want to follow halacha more closely.

    TCM includes about herbal remedies, accupuncture, accupressure, moxibustion, cupping, qui gong (exercise patterns).

    Anything that goes into your mouth, should be run by your doctor.

    Accupuncture is pretty safe, just make sure you go to a certified person, an MD is best. And make sure the needles are unused and clean.

    Cupping is very dangerous, you can get 2nd or 3rd degree burns from it.

    There was an article in a Mishpacha supplement – i think the kolmus from pesach – about the avoda zara nature about some of these alternative therapies. Best to be 100% sure about them. Quigong might be under this category.

    Real Brisker- Does my question about how much eye makeup is acceptable cause hirhur? Anyone who has a problem with questions like those should stay away from tznius threads.

    Flowers – I think the men know it best. Women can only know what men tell them and they can never fully understand how men think and view things.

    Please do not making assumptions about me, especially if you don’t know me and you have never met me!

    Another name – I am not talking about clear cut halacha here. You said it yourself – these are gray areas. In my question about the eye makeup, I have the basic understanding that there can be problems, that women should not dress to attracting – that is the halacha. My question is about application. I am not asking my Rav – it is way too awkward.

    Flowers – I would for sure tell her to the best of my ability what I think. Tznius and fixing washing machines are both parts of life. And as Adorable and others have pointed out, this is an online forum. The people I ask questions do will probably never meet me and they have no clue what I look like. They don’t even know where I live, how old I am, or where I went to school.

    I also had that book in school! way too much info.

    I think to study read the chapter summaries and study your powerpoints if you’re lucky enough to have them.

    One book that is helpful and is not a big heavy text book is Pharmacology from the Reviews and Rationales series by someone Hogan. You can find it on amazon. I found that Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy dumbs it down too much.

    To memorize it helps to know the categories of drugs and each categoires suffix.

    I agree with WIY. I personally have very specific questions about what men are attracted to, that are more complex than the basic laws of halacha. I do not feel comfortable asking my brother what’s is considered not tznius. I’m not married, so I can’t ask my husband. I am most definitely not asking my father or rav. Therefore, anonymous forums serve a great purpose.

    pac-man – as some other people pointed out, the cost of living is much lower in other places. So even if salaries are 5-10k a year lower in places outside of NY, it’s still very worthit.

    The Wolf – I can completely understand that. We have lots of family living in NY, and it would be a great help to everyone if we lived there too.

    gavra – kollel pays better, so if your parents are paying rent for you, then good. But if you are paying your own rent for an apartment, rent is lower outside of NYC. I guess in that situation, it depends who is picking up the tab.

    aries – you have made some very important points. I definitely think people consider this, but I feel like they don’t want to go out of their comfort zone, when it comes down to living out of town.

    There is nothing wrong with wearing a black hat. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. If you want to wear it, then wear it.

    If your father doesn’t object to wearing the hat, you can wear it. If he thinks it’s “silly” explain to him why it’s important to you. Don’t feel like you shouldn’t do what you desire (as long as it’s 100% ok) because another person may think less of you.

    I don’t have any personal experience with this, but I know people who have used HGH, and I’ve learned about it.

    Have you found your daughters estimated height? You can find it by adding your height and your husbands height in inches, then

    subtract 5 inches, and and divide by two. Most people reach their adult height within 4 inches of this estimate.

    Your daughter still has plenty of time to grow, so don’t be worried if she’s not within 4 inches.

    HGH in small amounts, in children, from what I’ve heard, is not harmful. Because your daughter is 13, even if she did get the injections, she would only gain maybe 1 or 2 inches from the HGH.

    However, if she is perfectly happy, popular, kind, and smart there is really no reason to be worried that her height will affect her self esteem.

    I’m probably repeating what other people mentioned, but I’ll repeat anyway 🙂 I think the best thing to do is push the thoughts out as they come, stop the action, and find good ways to spend your time. With time, you will heal. And teshuva is not a physical thing so it works in miraculous ways.
