Why did I think this was a pba thread…
charlie, if the recently missing are included in that list, add ICOT.
Which other old-timers are out there lurking?
Not sure where you wanted to do this, but I think there are gemachs that do this.
Thanks, Jothar, for keeping everyone aware.
I’m not so clear on the OP.
The example you gave is someone being blamed for not protecting himself? Like an “I told you so”…? Honestly, I don’t remember noticing it in the CR but, the only way to fix something is to be aware, so thank you for mentioning.
Sounds so good. IIRC, I’ve heard that cabbage is mentioned in Gemara for being healthy.
Party tomorrow, here. Don’t be late. Lots of kapusta (more than one kind) will be served.
Wait! In some places it is tomorrow already. The party is starting right now.
LA baby! Toasty 80 plus degrees. Tu tu tu.
At least have us wearing-winter-coats-in-October (and some with no power etc) folks in mind. Or if you really want to be nice, send some sunshine and warm weather here.
Brrrrrrr
I wish we could nominate AYC for current poster… 🙁
+1
May he have a Refuah Shelaima b’karov.
MG, I thought of the same thing, lol.
Goq, how was the coffee?
Am I allowed here if I’m not much of a coffee drinker?
You’re probably not talking about this, but theres a passuk about the reward one gets for not speaking lashon hara.
If you want it, just say the word.
areivim? Old times.
Maybe a SN is worth something on ebay…
Welcome back, BPG.
koillel, are you hungry or do you want to eat? Big difference. Try baby carrots (or another crunchy veg). You can even add chumus or something with it. The “crunchy” will make you feel like your eating a heavier meal but its healthy and you’ll feel full enough to get rid of the hungry (or time to nosh) feeling and the prep work is almost zero. If the carrots get boring, try peppers or cucumbers. If you want real crunch, try a raw potato (also a segula for parnassa for your dentist) ?.
While what she did was not a “best cast scenario”, it’s probably the best case scenario of someone going behind your back. If this was the second time she did it, explain to her that you don’t like being left out of the plans (between her and your fiance. A totally legitimate excuse if you ask me- whether you feel that way or not) and if she could please include you next time she feels it’s time for you to get a new gift.
Explain to your fiance that you want her to come to you, not him, in the future and if it comes up again to tell her to talk to you. (Tell him exactly what you said here- that you feel she’s going behind your back and you don’t like it.)
This one might be a little far out, but if you feel the shower is so stressful, tell your friends you don’t want one. Maybe it means collecting money with no shower or if it’s too late, tell them to go with whatever they have already and keep it at that. It’s really nice for everything to be nice and fun, but IMO it’s more important for everyone (mostly you, but everyone else too) to be happy. If it’s causing more trouble than it’s worth, get rid of it.
always, would this person realize they need to apologize? (I’m not asking for names)
MG, better. 🙂 In case you missed this: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/general-shmooze-4-6#post-316096
I’ve been meaning to wish BaalHabooze a double mazal tov for a few days. BaalHabooze, mazal tov and mazal tov! May you (and family) have much Yiddishe nachas from them!
(Thanks MG for getting me to post on this thread.)
Well if were counting fake words than i would like to add oongalukshena.
Someone should start a thread for fake words. I think eclipse once started one and there was another one called “fun words” (or something like that) where people came up with funny definitions to words. A combination of the two would be good.
“If your happy and you know it clap your hands!!!”
For my simple opinion and nothing else, I think you should say something. Separate your anger from the point you want to bring out (I never said it was easy) and do it. If something is bothering you this much that makes it more than a “nothing”, and without knowing details, I wonder what kind of friend she is if she went to your fiance behind your back.
Good luck
ZK, some posters ask questions (maybe a sidetrack of something that was mentioned, or maybe to “understand the question better”) and a little here, a little there, and info gets out.
Ex: “Poster” says they’re making a Simcha and are looking for information about a certain hall. Someone else answers and says they had a certain problem with a hall, and to be aware. A third person than asks for more details of the problem. While its not so private, it may be enough information to be figured out. Sometimes it’s harmless, other times c’v…
Another example: Someone mentions having a hard time with a relative/co-worker etc and they ask how to handle it. To “understand the question,” someone will ask for more examples.
Its always good to be aware. Jothar, congrats on your starting a CR shomrim.
Mods, can this thread get “sticky”ed?
Goq. Do you have any idea of how annoying it is to burst out laughing mid-yawn?
Welcome back, cshapiro.
Rain isn’t so bad. Rain with cold isn’t fun 🙁
AYC, if you’re reading this, (and I hope you are), you should know that you added so much around here and it isn’t the same without you. I could probably pull up any of your posts at random and anyone seeing them for the first time would understand right away why you’re so missed. Aside from the help, (from pulling up old threads to giving chizuk and everything in between) you’re comments were (are?) always so pleasant to read. Never judgmental, always calm… I hope this is just a vacation but now I’m not so sure. I, (and as you can see) many others want you back posting but of course that’s your decision. Wishing you continued Hatzlacha with everything.
+1 on the title
+2 on the thread
In this wave of “att” threads, (and I admit, I started two of them,) I noticed how many posters there are that are deserving of their own threads.
Seriously though, you should be able to attend many more in good health IY”H.
Oh well.
CA, I apologize if I offended you. I agree with Goq, and don’t take anything personally because I’ve also done the “post-and-have-the-thread-disappear” thing.
QB:
A few months ago I was very upset by a comment someone made (not directed at me) and I decided I didn’t want to be part of something or somewhere that would allow for a comment like that. Bpt wrote “That’s a reason to leave? On the contrary, that;s a reason to roll up your sleeves (not past the elbow, mind you) and come up with another plan of attack to get your point across.” and I decided that he was right. Sometimes people may do things that we don’t always like, but one person is only one person.
In all honesty, I don’t feel as strongly as Health on this but I would agree that “not-kosher” is probably better to stay away from (more on that later if you want). But thats not the point; people disagree sometimes but thats just a small part of a bigger picture. Please stay.
72, are you into telepathy at all?
I would post something here, but I wouldn’t want to ruin the moment.
Was that out loud? Whoops.
I attended my first ever, upsherin on Sunday.
How many do you plan on having? ?
I’m sorry, I had to.
many young people elect to stay on in Israel for at least another month.
IIRC, one of the people on this past years Project Inspire video said when he wanted to go visit Israel for the first time, he told his boss who answered that “the streets in Israel are paved with glue”.
“it was shnasty to the nth degree”
I believe it is shnasty to use the word “shnasty.”
I think tab was being a good Jew and a used a shortened version of “nasty shmasty”. Shnasty covered everything. 🙂
