Giant mazal tov going out to SJS and musiclover! May you see much yiddish nachas from your new addition.
To all members of the CR, and all members of Klal Yisrael:
May this year, 5770, be a year better than ever and bring the geulah shelaimah! May we all be zoche to a kesiva v’chasima tova and a gut gebentched yar filled with only the best! May everyone who needs a yeshua in whatever area get it easily, and may all of our tefillos be answered quickly L’TOVAH!!!
nurse, wish I could say the same for you. (now dont make any comments back or we’ll have to buy mechitzas in bulk) π
Why do parents insist on putting their chldren into a car from the traffic side? Of course they always manage to get a spot just off the corner where people are making sharp turns…
I know I already complained about this. This thread just seems very appropriate to say it again.
I know someone with twin brothers. Both at a young age (3rd or 4th grade) were told to wear glasses. One was careful about wearing them and the other wasn’t. Today, the first one has a high prescription and the second one is still wearing the same prescription. They are in their 40’s.
(Disclaimer: this is not for everyone)
55, getting a touch bossy, aren’t we?
I still get to complain… Unless you would like to re-queen me of course.
NY Mom, lol, very good!
mod, I’m not sure if thats good or bad…
us? whose us? jk, if you didnt get it, not worth explaining. Another former queen rant.
Don’t worry, kapusta, I got it π
nurse, I agree with you 100%. And thank you for writing the truth. π
I never did… I had my crown to play with… π
wasn’t Joseph already king?
good.
btw mods, if mepal would happen to give up her queen title (fake as it is) to me, who would be next on the list?
Do we really need to have a queen?
ok, I heard that! This isn’t funny anymore. <sniff, sniff>
1:57 AM and it looks like a mod fell asleep on the job, or the posters did. I think it’s time to call it a night, but I hope to be back for the full night shift once I’m on vacation for sukkos!
Jax, you and AOB? then get her back around here!!!
1:51 and counting… my pillow is beckoning.
Jax, how do you know? are you into telepathy? π
I have decided that only these members of the CR who are presently on, would be nuts enough to discuss this at 1:45 in the AM. I wish I could wake up the.nurse!
If you see someone who looks like shes sleepwalking wake me up. π
Jax, just like that? Wheres the loyalty???
Why do I get the feeling this thread was started by asdf?
wow, wow, wow! Not so fast! Only 72 gets to do that! Are you really 72?
mepal, on second thought maybe ignore the part about coming more in the early AM π π
Jax, thank you. It’s good to be back, but I think I’m gonna hafta go soon. (lets see just how soon that soon is.)
mepal, what happened to sleep sleeping?
mepal, that just says you’re not here enough in the early AM hours. It happens to me all the time!
Joseph, excuse me?!?!?! ames took over the title, and then realized she wasn’t fit for it (sorry ames) so she gave it back to me.
I hereby pass the tiara to Queen Mepal. Cabbage Head, you’ve been dethroned again. So sorry.
so here I am. (I should be in pj’s but we wont talk about that) If you remember in the good old days, about now was when we started a game of hangman…
mepal, haven’t you ever laft the CR before going to bed for the night. Get up in the AM and see the last post you saw approved before going to sleep is now 6 hours old?
mepal, are you sleepwalking now? Welcome to the late night party!
Jax, buddy, you already got one wrong!
Joseph, you follow the script very well! π
As an avid reader, I can tell you there are not enough Jewish books out there, and from the ones that are available not all of them are worth reading. Not all of them are worth writing. I think that one must find an author thats kosher and stick to that.
You said no one has to read it, and thats true. But most children/teens dont do chessed 24/7. There are not enough activities out there. So many things are being banned. Its not right to take something away and not provide a replacement. The best (practical) argument that can be said for a kosher book is bittul zman.
Joseph, if someone has to read it, its better for somone older to than a younger person.
some good ones here! (80, you can wipe that smile off your face ;)) keep up the good work!
thanx to everyone who filled me in on the lyrics. π
how about the pledge of allegiance.
“I pledge…and to the republic for richard sans”
postsem, can you make out that one line? (“elah elah…” around 2:20. what is the next word?!?!?!) It’s driving me crazy!
postsem, first of all, thanks a lot. second, the CD jacket is a good idea as long as you have it. Mine disappeared…
What are the lyrics to track 10 (kishoit) on Baruch Levine (2)
I’m not talking about the yiddish, theres one line, “elah elah…” around 2:20. what is the next word?!?!?!
mepal, that would generally be the smart thing to do. π
yossi, welcome back even though you were never absent. π
On the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana, there is a ceremony called Tashlich. Jews traditionally go to a body of water to pray and throw bread crumbs into the water. Symbolically, the fish devour their sins.
Occasionally, people ask what kind of bread crumbs should be thrown. Here are suggestions for breads which may be most appropriate for specific sins and misbehaviors:
For ordinary sins: White Bread
For particularly dark sins: Pumpernickel
For complex sins: Multi-Grain
For twisted sins: Pretzels
For tasteless sins: Rice Cakes
For sins of indecision: Waffles For sins committed in haste: Matzoh
For sins of chutzpah: Fresh Bread
For substance abuse: Stoned Wheat
For petty larceny: Stollen
For committing auto theft: Caraway
For timidity/cowardice: Milk Toast
For ill-temperedness: Sourdough
For silliness, eccentricity: Nut Bread
For not giving full value: Shortbread
For jingoism, chauvinism: Yankee Doodles
For excessive irony: Rye Bread
For unnecessary chances: Hero Bread
For telling bad jokes/puns: Corn Bread
For war-mongering: Kaiser Rolls
For causing injury to others: Tortes
For racist attitudes: Crackers
For sophisticated racism: Ritz Crackers
For being holier than thou: Bagels
For abrasiveness: Grits
For dropping in without notice: Popovers
For over-eating: Stuffing
For impetuosity: Quick Bread
For raising your voice too often: Challah
For pride and egotism: Puff Pastry
For sycophancy : Brownies
For being overly smothering: Angel Food Cake
For laziness: Any long loaf
If there are any inaccuracies, tell the person who told it to me. Maybe someone else would know who it happened with.
A (not sure which) Bobover Rebbe, when leaving the hospital was in terrible pain to the point where each breath was a big effort. Once he left, he needed something put together (maybe something he could stay in while he was being transported to his home). A Chassid was trying to put it together but for whatever reason, it was taking much longer than expected. The weather was very hot and humid, and the Chassid was working without letup. After a bit, the Rebbe started rubbing his hands together. The gabbai saw and he thought the Rebbe wanted to wash his hands. He went into the hospital and brought water. The Rebbe shook his head, and continued repeating the motion. Finally someone realized the Rebbe wanted a towel, so he went into the building and brought out a paper towel. The Rebbe, barely able to move at all, leaned over and wiped the sweat off the Chassids forehead.
I know someone who once opened similac and found a dead fly.
squeak, you just reminded me of this one:
“When I was born, I was so surprised, I didn’t talk for a year and a half!”
ames, the tooth doesn’t decay. The enamel comes off I think.
Does anyone know of a good (safe) site that sells shoes other than zappos, shoes, shoemall, endless…?
I think coke was originally used as a medicine.
a queenly welcome going out to mominisrael!
I think we should have a monthly new members welcoming party and welcome all new members from that month. Anyone else?
I have a good one for next week. (time) vatranus…
mepal, oh well. Then I guess you just got lucky.
lol, good ol’ mepal to the rescue. IIRC, I was gonna say the a was supposed to be instead of the alef. either you get that or you dont.
lol, yea, that went through halfway. Sorry about that.
ames, it starts with an alef.
FYI, with a fairly decent amount of prep, I think the hebrew regent is pretty easy. Getting back to the question, I think they have a hebrew section in some of the magazines. (Mishpacha, Olemeinu) I’m sure that would give him a start at least. (The harder words are translated)
OR,
just sit down and familiarize yourself with standard verbs in hebrew. Once you know what the basic word means, its easier to deal with the dikduk.
