btw sac, i heard ankle, not toes and heels.?!?!
IIRC, it goes according to minhag hamakom above the ankle.
popa: And why do IBM executives wear suits and not jeans?
Please still explain why Rabbonim don’t wear them.
How many Rabbanim (or Rebbetzins) wear hoodies?
I’m not really sure if I did anything but if yes, then glad to have helped.
Sometimes, I wonder if some posters would think differently of others if they would’ve met them in person.
Being anonymous has pros and cons.
Everyone passes on their zchusim to their children and grandchildren.
Great Tzadikim have more zchusim to pass on.
Just because someone is not famous doesn’t mean they aren’t a Tzaddik. (Not that they are definitely one, just saying no yichus doesn’t really mean anything.)

i heard that if u say perek yud gimmel and tell thirteen people its a segulah for shidduchim….
FTR, I think its 13 people say Yud Gimmel on the thirteenth of the month… I heard it pretty close to the source (I think). Dunno if it works…
I have something due at 9AM. I’m not sleeping tonight, and I could use the distraction every few minutes.
Hatzlacha!
(Why does the ? look so different before and after its posted?)
ICOT – they do have potatoes in israel. (and onions and eggs and pepper and salt, and even food processors) – though it might be a good idea to bring a food processor; they are cheaper in america.
Eating potato kugel while flying must be so much fun 🙂
Oh, and a big thank you to whichever mod is on now. 🙂

Its a shame I’m not creative either 😉
If it’ll make you feel any better, I got lots of weird symbols and some letters from punching in random numbers but the only musical note I got was ? (alt and 14)
In that case I meant to say go back.
I’m not sure what happened (I don’t read every thread and not always every post on the ones I do. And would I be correct in thinking that I wasn’t involved?) but while most people on here are very nice and helpful, there are a few who don’t always come off that way. From someone who sort of left and sort of came back, I’m siding with look away.
If having to face that person would be a cause for stress for you then its probably not worth it. If you can put it out of your head and not think about it then go back. (A lot depends on what was said/who said it/how it was said.)
Was this a group for purpose or for socializing? (You used the word group which sounds like a group getting together to learn something etc -and shmoozing does have purpose)
RABBAIM brought up a very good point, btw.
You want every principal to be a gadol hador. So do I, but if we would demand it, we won’t have enough principals.
In the long term is this really better?
My favorite chocolate is very cold and gets scooped (or piped from a machine) into a cup or cone. Yum.
(I never got the hype about regular chocolate. Like its good, ok, lets move on to the ice cream now.)
One of the things that I miss after becoming kosher (although there are so many great products out there and the decision has forced me to learn how to cook!) is pop tarts.
I seem to remember that Alton Brown had a recipe but I have no idea what they taste like.
Awww, Zeeskite, I’m so touched! JK, I’m just having a little fun here. I do agree with your post completely though. COME BACK!!
(And if I can hijack the thread for a little bit, it looks like tbt has also disappeared.)
Kapusta: yes you are missing something but I don’t want to talk about it here. You may soon be getting a message through your friend unless you want to contact me directly.
Friend says she has no idea…
Am I correct in understanding that you’re looking for an organized group not just people coming? You can google “twins from france”, it might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but I think they entertain at weddings etc (a routine, not singing). It looks like there are a few videos on some sites.
Mazal Tov!!
“People who don’t think. (Not that I’m so brilliant or anything, but there is a difference when someone is naturally not so smart and someone who just doesn’t think)”
I hear you loud and clear about that, but then think about all the times YOU yourself don’t think (me included) everyone’s human, and it’s an avoda to have that not get to you (that people don’t think not that everyones human)
Very true. Everyone can make mistakes, but I was talking about people who have a motto of “don’t think”. Like people who don’t think about a possible aftereffect of doing/not doing something.
(I’m not sure that made any sense.)
Kapusta, do you believe in what you said enough to hold on to it if situations requiring such a saying were to happen to you?
This question is not meant to be read in an antagonistic or judgmental manner. It is meant to be more of a lead in
Am I missing something about the lead in thing? And I think I would say the same thing. Especially with regard to shidduchim, the clear Hashgacha is doubly amazing.
One more thing. Whenever its possible try to find your own references. The ones given will not always give you the truth (for positive and negative).
(If you are looking into someone from a different place, call someone who can connect you with other people, even someone you don’t know, and just ask for the name of a rav in the area, or someone who would know people in the community. You don’t need to get into names, but usually when people hear its for a shidduch they will try to be helpful.)
kapusta
better stuffed than hungry
Was that you 42?
Whoever it was, its very funny! Thank you!!
Better late than never. Health, welcome back!
ZeesKite
Because Mommy said so!!!!
am yisrael chai:
“There are other posters who consistently make me laugh & smile at the screen…”
And they are…
I’m not AYC but if it makes you feel any better, you would make my list.
People who don’t think. (Not that I’m so brilliant or anything, but there is a difference when someone is naturally not so smart and someone who just doesn’t think)
Hold button music
People who are downright nasty through complete lack of consideration or for their own enjoyment.
People who walk around with an attitude that the world was created to serve them.
kapusta, I haven’t seen you post in such a long time.
WELCOME BACK
I’ve been around here lately… But thanks for the welcome back, still appreciated.
Middos are number one. Is s/he a happy person? Any medical issues in the family? Is s/he a calm person? Does s/he have a rav/mentor (is this person willing to listen to someone elses opinion)? Does s/he have good relationships within his/her family?
Do they buy regular or super gas?
Hatzlacha Rabbah!!
Kapusta
Mazeltov for your 3rd birthday. Is that all? It sure seems like you’ve been around much longer. (Queen Kapusta and all that…) I’m just over 4 but didnt do serious posting till a year or two ago. Btw Teenagers are when they’ve reached thirteen years on ywn so you’ve ten years to go, Princess.
Thank you. The three years thing sounds pretty accurate. And three year olds get unlimited junk, a nap during the day, and spend their working hours having fun. Yup, three sounds good to me.
(Btw, is there anything like a Bas Mitzvah in the CR or only Bar?)
You’re right. I’m embarrassed.
Tell ya what, I’ll take care of the regular kapusta and you take care of the kapusta stacia?
Kapusta-you are much more than heimish. You have chandeliers hanging in your bathrooms!
Btw, I have a weakness for kapusta stacia.:)
bathrooms? Come on, we have chandeliers in our cars!
btw, whats kapusta stacia??
I’m surprised no one said “good things come in small packages” yet. (FTR, I’m very un-petite. Like I said, good things… JK)
Stuffed cabbage your name’s not bad but did you ever consider hulupshes? It’s more heimish!
ahhhhhem *cough*
Are you using a blade or a disc? If you are using the blade, maybe try cutting the food into smaller pieces (quarter potatoes instead of one cut down the middle). I’m not sure if it would make a difference but its worth a shot.
Good luck!
So next time you go shopping pick up a can of deodorant (or something like that) and if someone starts staring, buy it, and before leaving hand it to them and say “here, I bought this for you”. Kidding!!
Btw, can I join the pretzel and mustard party? I’m so in the mood now.
kapusta-when the number ends in teen…do you qualify?!?!?!
Sounds fair. For right now I do anyway.
How old is considered teen? (I just wanna know if I still qualify or not.) And I just had a third birthday here so I’m saying I don’t count in the “all of a sudden” thing.
princess, maybe the mod had the song “You’re watching me” in his/her head…? “Ooooooh, Hashem……”
J/K
Depends on the source of the anger. Sometimes vent, sometimes just get involved in something else to get my mind off it.
“i think kids who dont have a tv think its a very big thing to watch so when they could, they watch as much as possible. a kid who is allowed to watch whenever he wants doesnt think its such a big deal, so they dont end up watching as much.”
You’ve got a fascinating perspective on chinuch. You apparently feel that whatever is bad for our children, we should give them more of, so that they should get less of it.
I think the poster is referring to “forbidden fruits taste sweet”.
I think there is a way (ways?) to completely secure the network. Maybe if you call the company or the company that provides your internet service they can help you.
Maybe when the herring comes out say “She’asani Kirtzono”. I’m kidding I’m kidding!!
If he doesn’t mind you wearing it, then as other people mentioned, do it in a different room (or when hes out of the room).
IMO, there is sneaking and there is sneaking. For a kid who grows up without TV/DVDs, watching anything is sneaking. For a kid who grows up with TV, there might also be “sneaking” but the content will be very different. Most kids (and maybe adults too) know when they might be crossing the line but realize that the “lines” are in very different places.
If you are thinking you might need to watch (for whatever reason) my suggestion is to get shows which you may enjoy but forget the TV.
There are sometimes listings that go up on onlysimchas. You can also try luach.com or the Jewish Press classifieds (online).
If you know anyone in the community, ask them to check local publications, ask in Shul etc. The “quieter” stuff can be very helpful.
Hatzlacha!
Stuffed: I also think a cabbage (related) SN is very cool.
On second thought cookies aren’t too bad either, but I’m still voting for the cabbage.
Clarity to me means two things. One, whatever needs to come out, should. Two, the clarity to really see whats going on and not just get caught up in the excitement of a possible engagement/marriage and meanwhile pushing real issues aside.
In regard to the OP, some people say they knew right away, but not everyone. I don’t think there is one right answer.
Looks like there might be some new members in the family…
Toughie. Usually I go with “not your house, not your rules” but this is different. Maybe come up with another use for them (what obviously wouldn’t work, but something along the lines of holding up a bed which was broken). Or (provided the content was not an issue) tell her they looked interesting and ask to borrow them.
Hello. 🙂
I also noticed a lot of new names… Am I the only one who found it a little interesting that so many new people appeared over Yom Tov?
