    truthsharer- if she’s a certified nurse why wouldn’t she be covered by the Good Samaritan laws? They don’t only apply when you are officially on duty.

    We actually considered having a seperate chametz kitchen. We ended up not getting around to making it, but our regular kitchen gets kashered. We worked really hard getting everything made of materials that can be kashered without any stainless steel… the sinks are black granite. Even the table is wood, so we kasher it.

    CPR is effective about 30% of the time. Rescue breathing is more effective, but I don’t know by how much. ubiquitin- even if it would be a 5% chance you wouldn’t want it for your relative?

    truthsharer- it’s called rescue breathing. At least according to my teacher. There’s nothing cardiac about it.

    “the news reported she was breathing weakly. You don’t do CPR on someone who is alive/breathing. (I was taught that by my CPR teacher every year) so I find the whole thing confusing.”

    According to my first aid and cpr book you do do rescue breathing for someone who’s breathing isn’t proper. No compressions, but breathing yes. If she had a mask she should have helped…

    I thought the Good Samaritans go both ways- if you are licensed you must help, and if you’re trying to help and are licensed you can’t be sued… I guess I was wrong.

    I think people didn’t get what I was trying to say, so I’ll put it clearer:

    “I’m curious if anyone will open a thread that has one letter as a title…

    Can you guess what it stands for?(No joke, I’m really thinking of SOMETHING)”

    I figured Shnitzy is just playing with words as we always do in my family…

    He was dying anyhow- not from the potion, but from the ring. A year previously Snape slowed the curse, but told him he has around a year left to live. That’s when Dumbledore arranged with Snape that Snape should kill him first, and so “prove” his loyalty with the Dark Lord, which everyone was suspicious over.

    JK Rowling World Book Day Chat

    kai: Where do wizarding children go to school before Hogwarts?

    JK Rowling replies -> They can either go to a Muggle primary school or they are educated at home. The Weasleys were taught by Mrs. Weasley.

    Cockatiels eat pretty much the same foods as parakeets. Did you try spray millet for them? We give our birds more regular millet, but occasionally we give them spray millet and they love it…

    Millet and split peas are both kitniyos- birds can’t live on only veggies for a week. They need variety. What birds do you have? We actually give them the peels of the carrots to eat- not a whole carrot. They like that better. Sometimes we’ll give them a whole carrot just to blunt their beaks a bit (sort of like the cuttle bone)

    I know this is not related to the original question but what do other people feed their parakeets on pesach? We give ours millet, split peas and carrots. Millet and carrots they get all year round, but they don’t mind the split peas even though it is a little hard for them to eat.

    Syag- we fed the rabbits baby carrots and they ate them- they made a big mess at the same time and got really dirty but hey, our parakeets also become all orange when eating carrots.

    We have a dedicated pliers for kashering… we have it heat up on a flame until it turns purple from the heat, pour hot water directly from a kettle, then immediately lift the pliers with a rubber handled pliers that wasn’t heated up and slide it over the area… I love hearing the water sizzle. We also use the brick kit to be really sure. for the sink we do the same thing, followed by filling it with boiling water from a giant pot and dropping in the brick and pliers together.

    before Moshiach comes……. Zekeinim (old people) will stand Mipnei(Because of) Kitanim (Children under 13)

    I don’t agree 100% with dotnetter. I remember being five years old and walking for a half an hour to a kiddush. By the time we got there I was exhausted. I sat down and was yelled at to get up and give my seat to someone older. I did get up and my feet continued to hurt the entire time- I didn’t end up getting a seat at all. Now by simchas I always give little kids some time to sit. Their feet are smaller and the walk is harder on them.

    I am still frum even though at one point in my life my classmates were mean to me and my teacher was an appikores. She told our class that she doesn’t know why it’s important to learn hilchos hafrashas challah since moshiach isn’t coming anyhow… and this is in a chareidi school. I wasn’t sure if I believed in Hashem or not, but I kept all the mitzvos because why do something before I’m sure? After a lot of thinking and reading I came to the conclusion that Hashem is real, and therefore I worked on getting the best relationship with him. I davened to make friends and guess what? Instead of being stuck miserable for the rest of my life pretending that there can’t be a g-d because gods are supposed to do what I want I actually ended up happy. Ironically I found out that there was a mathematician called Pascal that had the same reasoning that I had to begin with.

    I always make sure my younger siblings ask for things politely. If they say something like “I need ketchup” I’ll answer “Oh. That’s so interesting to hear.” until they repeat it properly as “Please can you pass me the ketchup?” I also get very nervous when people touch their food while eating. Forks and knives were invented for a reason!
