Yes.
When I was a young ‘un, ’bout ten or so years ago, I used to want a tiger. Like, really badly. They’re really gorgeous, and fluffy, and they looked friendly in the kids’ magazines. I would dream about letting it sit in my lap when it would be still a cub, and about sitting in ITS lap when it would be a full grown plush throw.
Needless to say, my parents weren’t too supportive of my dreams and wishes. My father said that when I get older, and have an apartment of my own, I could get a cat and paint it to look like a tiger.
They definitely have purple carrots.
Some people call orange ‘red.’
Some carrots are yellow if they haven’t been treated with chemicals.
There are funny-tasting veggies which LOOK like white carrots, but are in fact horseradish and the like.
Any other colors you’d like that in?
The tissue thing never quite worked for me. Perhaps I haven’t acquired the proper derech to do it. What works fantastically well for me are prescription sleeping pills. Sometimes I use them on my husband, too.
The trick is getting her to take the pills. I hide it in a spoonful of peanut butter and stick it in her mouth.
Sometimes I do this for my husband, too.
Maybe cus it’s the yeshiva world coffee room, and what girls go to yeshiva nowadays?
Probly went through all the threads to find the oldest one, and this is what he came up with. S’fine, I’ve been guilty of the same. It’s interesting to see how questions have changed in 5 years. It’s not such a big deal for girls to have phones nowadays.
Sometimes I think that the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
Success comes in cans, failure in cants.
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist is that an optimist thinks this is the best possible world. A pessimist fears that this is true.
If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving definitely isn’t for you.
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.
If you can’t see the bright side of life, polish the dull side.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort!
Everyone is gifted – but some people never open their package!
The best angle from which to approach any problem is the try-angle.
Did you know that opportunities are never lost? That’s because someone will always take the ones you miss!
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
If you cannot help worrying, then worrying cannot help you.
Any man who knows all the answers most likely misunderstood the questions.

You can take off points cus I answered nine minutes after time was up, and cus every other answer was wrong. You can add points cus ours was the only team that answered. We won by default. Go yellow!
What I find funny about the term Out Of Town is the connotation that New York is a town. It’s anything but.
But since I will abide by your language in contributing to this discussion, because I’m nice that way, then I gotta say that my favorite oot community is cleveland. I went there once, and promptly wrote on my to-do list to move to cleveland. I’m not sure why, now. There was something so nice about it.
tchaikowsky, mahler, schumann, offenbach, and rossi were jewish?! That’s so cool! Shoulda figured.
I’ll get right to work, SiDi. Thank you for alerting me to this dilemma.
Sometimes it’s better to use creative and atypical names. A friend of mine (I don’t remember her name now. Must not have been such a close friend. I think it was actually someone I just met once. I don’t think she told me her name, so I’m excused) got very upset with me because I named my rabbit Ahuva, a human name. So the name I gave to my next pet, a turtle, was more creative, and everyone is ok with it. I called it Trachemys Scripta Elegans, the Latin name for its species, the red eared slider.
Walking during a lightning storm is very dangerous. Running, probably less so.
Try the local ASPCA.
Trip down memory lane – this was 5 years ago, and our attitudes haven’t changed! Just goes to show that we were right to begin with.
There are threads on this topic already, but I won’t do you the favor of finding them for you. Mods choose to subtitle posters if they’re in the mood of doing so, and can change it whenever they please. If you don’t like your subtitle, or you don’t have one and you want one, you can post a new thread asking the mods to give you one/change it, and tell them this is a personal msg and they shouldn’t post the thread.
Pictures would take all the fun out of posting anonymously. This is one of the few places people can truly go unseen. They can form an identity that is nothing like their real life, but not in the fantasy world way. I love this site. Keep your selfies to yourself.
I’ve got a lot of things to say about this, but I will anyhoo decline to comment.
What kind of a question is that? Of course you can’t. I can’t hear you yet. Raise it higher.
Congrats, everyone!
Am I too late now? Sorry, I’ve been sleeping.
I want to be an optometrist. There’s an optometry school in Philly, called Salus, that I don’t know much about about, but my optometrist told me about it. Bio, what did you end up doing?
log base b to the a equals n = b to the n equals a
so…
(subtitle) log base (me) of (you) equals (we) = (subtitle) (me) to the (we) equals (you)
Raise your hand in recognition, so I can hear you.

Well, usually I use my hands to turn the pages. When I’m too tired to do that, though, and I can’t turn the pages, I just read the two pages again until I get bored and put down the book.
Charles Dickens is a literary genius. Try David Copperfield and Bleak House. They’re really, really long books, so you won’t need any of these other suggestions for a while.
If you’re not so into the 19th century stuff, then write your own book, cus nothing is as good as Dickens.
Give it back to the cashier – don’t think you’re giving it back because you want the recognition, and the cashier thinks you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread. Give it back because it’s a kiddush Hashem. The cashier will be impressed with your human decency and attribute it to your Yiddishe upbringing.
Chihuahuas versus labs? What kind of choice is that? You didn’t even consider an Alaskan husky? My friend assures me that these are the best dogs out there. Meanwhile, she’s had a German shepherd-Rottweiler mix.
it’s triskaidekaphobia shtus.
“What’s up?”
“Nothing.”
And here I thought they actually meant there was nothing up, not even the roof! Thank you for clarifying that for me. Now I know that when they say nothing, they’re really talking about something.
Dan l’kaf z’chus – maybe nony’s finger slipped when he/she was typing. Respectfully.
Go to Lowes/Home Depot/Lumber yard/the local forest and get some wood. Two trees should do it. Cut them with an Xacto knife, so they’re really straight. Then take a couple of nails (not the ones that grow on your fingers/toes) and see if there are any holes in the wood in which you can stick the nails. Bang the wood against your wall with a hammer. The louder, the better. If you share an apt, et al, and your neighbors complain, tell them to stop it or you’ll offer to make them a bookcase as well. Cover it in penguin flavored duct tape.
Once the bookcase falls down, make a bonfire with the wood and go to Ikea.
Hope I was able to help!
Both Sarah Imeinu and Dinah bas Rivkah stole the identity of a box.
Oh, you mean Yaakov playing the part of Esav.
I. Shluffed Too Long They Mummified Me. I know, it’s a long last name.
Cholent is heimish, farfel is heimish, chicken soup is heimish… I think sushi is also heimish nowadays. That should be quite the development.
The summer solstice hasn’t happened yet, crazybrit. You must be there, not here.
An inspirational message is a nice idea, but l’m not sure elephants can read.
They wouldn’t get thrown back – an elephant’s nose and sneeze MPH in proportion to its body and weight is similar (as in the math term, like similar triangles) to the human’s nose and sneeze MPH in proportion to ITS body and weight. Humans don’t get thrown back, so why should elephants?
Ahh, reality. So that clears that up.
What would an elephant need a tissue for? It wouldn’t be able to grasp it with its nose which is sneezing. (I assume we’re talking about n elephant sneezing.) Furthermore, the standard human size tissue wouldn’t be capable of withstanding the force of an elephant’s sneeze – not even those new durable kleenex tissues. An elephant could just use the top of one of those big white tents.
No fungi, but algae. In my negel vasser bin. I don’t know how long it’s been growing there.
Did you hear the latest? I caught my grandmother pruning my roses! Did you ever?! I certainly didn’t, ever.
Oh, wait. Gossip about the plants themselves? Hmmm. My plants don’t really do much, so there’s not much to talk about. Maybe humans should also not do much, so we don’t have to gossip about them, either!
I do not like green eggs and ketchup. Or most anything with ketchup, actually, thank you for asking. I’ll eat it on hot dogs, but the problem is that I don’t really like hot dogs. I”ll eat it in the cholent if I can’t tell it’s there. Come to think of it, I don’t like the majority of the cholent pot, either. I’ll eat the potatoes.
Well, I do have something better to do. I’m just not doing it. I think everyone on this site can relate to that.

Any days that were before I was (born).
I’m getting a little bored… someone, anyone, entertain me!
Gut yom tov is a double positive, which equals a positive. Which is good.
Define Jewish. It could mean a Jew, but only “ish.” Y’know? Like, kinda, ish. In which case, I’m not. I’m a full-fledged and hand-picked child of Hashem Yisborach, and I’m SO PROUD! I’m not so into labels. Jew, goy, turtle – it has to define my essence. It’s hard to describe an essence in a single word, unless it’s in lashon hakodesh. Plus, all the labels I put on my clothes in camp all those years ago either fell off or were lost, along with the garment they labeled. Limud atzmi: there was no point in labeling.
Don’t mind my ramblings. I’m sleep-deprived yet shluffing.
My friend’s female relative is a frum police officer who has to (and is allowed, by idk whom) to wear pants for her job.
Y and P, no offense, but perhaps you should relax. You’re getting so serious about not being serious. Maybe everyone is pretending to be serious, but in reality they’re just having fun. Maybe everyone likes to see you blow up. I mean, I don’t, of course. But maybe other people do.
You so do belong in here. You are personally responsible for the happiness of many posters. So many get a good laugh reading your posts. Never leave us, please!
Breathe deeply, in through your nose, out through your mouth, up through your toes, and shout through your south. It doesn’t have to make sense. It has to rhyme. It doesn’t have to be serious/not serious. It has to be rhyme and remain in harmony. Peace, love, chocolate. Take a cue, and take a nap. Dream of rainbows and unicorns and koala bears. Sweet shluffin.
People generally think in and dream in their first language. I know at least one exception. Her first language was Yiddish, then Hebrew, and finally English. Now she doesn’t remember much Yiddish, and she thinks and dreams in English.
Hey, no links! JK.
