To Health,
while on Bioxin once, it worked wonders for my shredded stomach!
there are also many antibiotics that cause stomach issues as a side effect and the patient would also need to take something like Prilosec in order to calm the stomach!
I can only try:
the weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship was tossed
if not for the courage of the fearless crew
the minnow would be lost!
=nasty storm out there!
*** Jax’s DT for Thursday***
“The dove came back… and behold, an olive branch… was in its mouth.” (8:11)
When Noach wanted to see if the flood waters had receded to where they could finally get out of the Taiva-Ark, he sent out a dove to look for dry land. The dove returned with an olive branch, indicating that the water level was at least below the treetops. On a Midrashic level, Rashi comments that the dove was hinting the following to Noach, “May my food be bitter as an olive and be provided by Hashem; not sweet as honey and provided by Man.” During its stay on the Taiva-Ark the dove was being fed by Noach. We learn from this that it is always uncomfortable for one to have to rely on the kindness of others. Therefore we must be sensitive to minimize the embarrassment of anyone who receives a kindness from us.
There once was a man known as Yossele Kamztan (Miser). He was the wealthiest man in his village and since most of the residents were impoverished, he received petitions for charity all the time. People would tell him what they needed and why; but, he would abruptly send them off empty handed. When he eventually died, the burial society had a tough time scraping up a minyan to participate in his funeral, for he was so despised, no one wished to attend. Shortly thereafter the Rabbi was flooded with an unusual amount of charity requests. Each person had a similar story: “Every morning, the milkman always brought milk to my door free of charge. Now he has stopped so my children have no milk.” “Every week the butcher would give us a chicken for Shabbos free of charge and now he has stopped. My family has nothing to eat for Shobbos.” “We have very sick child. The doctor used to treat him and give him medicine free of charge. Now he has stopped. What are we to do?” The Rabbi investigated and discovered that Yossele was secretly funding all of these people. When someone would beseech him and tell him of his needs, he would pretend to turn a deaf ear as he “kicked them out.” Afterward he would secretly arrange for whatever the person needed to be delivered to him and he would pay for it. The Rabbi was so taken by this, that he organized the entire community to gather at Yossele’s grave and ask forgiveness from his soul for the way they scorned and despised him. From that time forward he was always referred to as Yossele Tzaddik.
Have a great Shobbos!
tamazaball: regarding your first post, when taking antibiotics for a simple cold, it’s causeing your body to get used to always needing the medication when a simple cold comes! which IMO(and i’m no doc), is not the best thing to be doing to your body! the body should learn to fight small colds on it’s own!
I too always thought it was on the Hatzalah building on Ave N & Ocean!

***** Jax’s Tuesday DT- Parshas Noach******
NoaCh took to the Taiva-ark in fulfillment of Hashem’s command. He traveled with dedication and purpose. In contrast, many of us are “lost at sea” without a compass, when it comes to our own lives as the following true story illustrates:
There once was a Rav, who possessed many exceptional qualities that earned him a great reputation. However, he had one character flaw: he was so stubborn that once he made up his mind about something, there was no way of ever changing his opinion.
One day, when traveling on a journey, the Rav lost his way and wandered through a forest for several days, frightened and confused. In his state of confusion, he lost count of the days and became convinced that Shobbos was really one day earlier than it really was. When finally, with Hashem’s help, he found his way out of the forest and back home, he insisted on observing Shobbos on Friday, despite the attempts of his family and congregation to inform him of his error.
The Rav held firm, insisting that his calculation was correct and that everyone else’s calculations were a day off. And so, every Thursday evening he would dress up in his Shobbos finery, make kiddush and conduct a Shobbos tish full of guests, with another elaborate Shobbos meal the next day. He would also insist that everyone else do the same. Needless to say, this was awkward for the community and embarrassing for his family.
Then someone had the idea to summon his childhood friend, the wise Rabbi Shmuel Shmelke of Nicholsburg to see if he could bring the Rav back to his senses. When Rabbi Shmuel Shmelke arrived, he instructed the people to play along with him: to dress for Shobbos on Thursday night and to join him and their Rav at the “Shobbos” table. When they were all assembled, Rabbi Shmuel Shmelke asked that wine be brought out – one after another so that he could toast l’chaim to everyone. The wine was very strong and while the Nicholsburger Rabbi only pretended to drink, the Rav of the city became more and more intoxicated, until he finally fell into a deep sleep.
The combination of strong wine and physical exhaustion caused the Rav to sleep until the next night, at which time everyone reassembled, dressed in their Shobbos garb (which was no problem since this time, it actually was Shobbos). The Rav awoke and apologized to everyone for “napping,” and concluded the Shobbos meal as usual. And so the Rav caught up to reality without even knowing it, and from then on observed Shabbos on the correct day. [The foregoing true story is documented in The Commentators Siddur by Rabbi Y. Sender.]
We often are blinded by our emotions. In our confusion and arrogance we do not listen to the voice of reason and become more distant from Hashem, Torah and Bnei Yisreol. We pray that just as Hashem showed Noach the way, may He give us the wisdom and discernment to find the proper path in life.
