    Stop with the Tznius jokes. Its probably bgeder leitzanus.

    Agreed. However I will say that having threads discussing sensitivities in Tznius and passing them off as Halacha in such a public forum is asking for it to happen.

    Good thing you aren’t trying to offend anyone. 😉

    I think people use the CR to vent, discuss and get advice. Not for a final word but as a suggestion. Its easier to get to the right solution with a group offering advice than just a few people, and sometimes people removed from (or those who don’t know) the situation can give better advice.

    Wow, my name was mentioned! Cool! (I’m also honored to have been grouped with 80 and aries)

    I know I’m probably leaving people out. These are the ones that come to mind (in no particular order):

    AYC- posts are always encouraging, helpful and sensitive. And nice.

    80- posts always come from a good place and have real-life good sense. And sometimes very funny.

    squeak- smart and funny. (I think that really says it best.)

    mommamia- posts are always practical and sensible.

    Goq- has some great lines

    wanderingchana- good sense of humor

    42- funny posts. Comments are practical, smart and sensitive.

    ursula- real-life smart with a humorous spin

    Wolf- comments are practical and usually puts a different twist on the OP/thread/comment

    aries- always wants to help (In case that can be interpreted wrongly- I mean it in a positive way). Her posts and style of writing are also very clear.

    yossi z.- good posts and he keeps the Mazal Tov thread running.

    ronrsr- funny!

    MG- posts are life-smart. (and sometimes funny)

    oomis- posts are very practical.

    ICOT- very helpful.

    gefen- sensible comments.

    (Sorry if some of them seem repetitive. They were the best words I could think of.)

    Apologies to those left off this list that should be here. And apologies to those that I did mention that deserve more recognition/appreciation than they were given.

    If thats the case, wouldn’t anything with a sugar substitute do that too?

    ~~~~~~

    I have a theory for weight loss, I don’t know if it works or what damage it might (c’v) do but I’ll throw it out for discussion anyway. (Do it at your own risk- totally not recommending.) Watch one thing; Calories, fat, sugar (simple carbs), salt and eat reasonably well in the other categories.

    Also keep in mind that in general, losing weight is easy, keeping it off is hard. Whatever diet plan you try needs a (healthy) cheat system in place otherwise you’ll be off it in a week or two.

    I think you should form your own opinion. Even if you come to the same conclusion, it wont be based on the way you see others treat her.

    For some people even a little thing is a big deal. Think of any interaction with her as a therapist/patient relationship. Help her (even by listening) but leave it at that. Don’t take your work “home” with you and don’t let it get to you.

    Yes. I think the brain has a sort of file and the whole “setting” (even the unimportant stuff) gets filed away. I associate a certain CD with a book I was reading the first time I heard it.

    I guess you mean one that is not currently lived in (or at least available for rent)…

    Do you live in Brooklyn? I think the best is to check the Torah Times and the Link if you have access to them. Next best is to check Hamodia/Yated but the stuff advertised there probably goes much more quickly.

    Good luck

    I think so. Check a pomegranate type store (read: one with shelf space that will carry more products)

    I will watch my mouth for 2 hours today. May she have a speedy recovery! May she be healthy and well ?? ??? ?????? ???.

    I’m not trying to “rate” mitzvos but I have no doubt watching ones mouth (from l”h/bad language/etc) has tremendous value. May it be a zchus for everyone that needs.

    I can only speak for myself so I’ll tell you what catches my eye.

    An interesting name (which you already have)

    Post on a few threads, not just one. (Join in the conversation- respond to specific comments, not only the OP)

    Mention that you’re new. I’ll notice you more once I know to look for you.

    Getting everyone riled up will get you publicity but it might not be good publicity.

    I have a feeling I welcomed you, if not than welcome.

    “Healthy craziness” sounds like an oxymoron.

    Which craziness is healthy, IIMA?

    It is. I think its good for a person to be a little different. Nothing major, but a little out of the box, a little crazy… (obviously not referring to Yiddishkeit/Halacha) Wouldn’t you choose an original over a copy?

    IIMA- Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

    “I’m suggesting they use a spelling checker”

    it’s called a spell checker

    Lol, I think that was discussed a long time ago. A spell checker is what a witch would use to check a spell and a spelling checker is what someone would use to check spelling. 😉

    Anyone know where it was?

    cinderella, I agree with Hacham on this one (a rare occurence). Movies are full of every trash imaginable. I will definitely say there are some things that are clean (no, not many) but lets call a spade a spade.

    (When I say clean I mean kosher, not kosher style. Please no one make excuses for watching something they shouldn’t be.)

    WIY:

    Please don’t take this as an attack, it is not meant as one, simply a suggestion.

    There is a very fine line between making a point and going overboard. On several occasions you have made your opinions on this specific topic clear and sometimes it can come across as harping on it. I do agree with you, but maybe its possible to stick to other topics of mussar/Divrei Torah.

    I do believe there is something called clean watching, but at the same time I will add that I have seen (IMO) a clear effect of people being exposed to the wrong things.
