Joseph: Before Moshiach arrives… but if I’m wrong about the timing of my plans, then that’s okay too 🙂
November 9, 2017 10:09 pm at 10:09 pm in reply to: Is it illegal to walk around wearing a counterfeit “I Voted” sticker? #1400900LightbriteParticipantpro geshmake yidden: Was it an “I Voted” sticker? Or an “I just Voted” sticker?
Trying to figure out where you put the X.
Funny story … 🙂
November 9, 2017 9:34 pm at 9:34 pm in reply to: Why don’t they make them like they used to? #1400890LightbriteParticipantYou can… just buy them in America and then ship them and yourself to Europe. By the time you get there, your appliances and furniture will still be like new, and yet out of style.
LightbriteParticipantWhoa… I had no clue!
Thank you.
LightbriteParticipantRebYidd23, nope.
Counterfelt is like matchstick, polar bear, and dinnertime.
LightbriteParticipantIsn’t counterfelt the opposite of feit?
LightbriteParticipantOh thank you DY!
So question please… if pareve food is cooked in a fleishig pot, are you saying that you wouldn’t need to wait the same amount of time before eating fleshig, than you would if you had eaten meat?
LightbriteParticipantWow that’s really interesting!
Thank you CTLAWYER 🙂
LightbriteParticipantWas butter always available?
Maybe Jews had a kosher version of lard?
LightbriteParticipantWell, I wasn’t talking about Shabbos, and I’d talk to my rabbi because I get severe reactions to mosquito bites… if anyone says that it’s not pikuach nefesh, then one has no idea of the week-long consequences.
From lack of sleep, to swollen skin and skin infections, to overall difficulty concentrating because of the itching… the best thing that I can do is avoid being bitten.
Fyi, often, men are less likely to be the victim of mosquito bites in the western world. Female hormones make women more prone during certain times.
Men’s body hair acts as a barrier too. Look it up.
Plus women are just sweeter… more or less true.
Anyway… point is, if you knew what I knew, then I would think that you wouldn’t be so quick to judge.
Also… Zika in Florida last year was a major pikuach nefesh situation. Pregnant women moved out of the state just to avoid the risk.
LightbriteParticipantTotally DY.
Mosquito by your side… If it didn’t want to be near you, then it wouldn’t be. The male mosquitos aren’t interested in blood meals, and would be hitting up flowers.
A mosquito tracking you down by your carbon dioxide omissions is on a mission.
Mosquito bites cause suffering, and can risk ones life (and that of, G-d forbid, one’s unborn child).
LightbriteParticipantRarrrr autocorrect. Sound like a drunk. Why “thay” why?
LightbriteParticipantIf the police are not after you, can you play peekaboo with police officers?
LightbriteParticipantYou can also use an wall to play peekaboo.
LightbriteParticipantmiriam nee Baum, for a mosquito, I’d likely do the same… pikuach nefesh.
LightbriteParticipantCounterfelt counters are a currently made up invention .. counters made of felt fabric.
Mind you, it’s totally possible that someone will read this and copyright counterfelt counters, but we will know the truth.
LightbriteParticipantThank you… maybe…. I heard someone saying it, and I don’t remember where.
For some reason, the memory popped up… and I didn’t know what it meant at the time… so I figured I might as well learn the meaning now.
Thank you!!! ☺ I never knew that there was a “salt” feeling.
Is “salty” an adjective to describe a sore loser, in general?
November 9, 2017 7:04 am at 7:04 am in reply to: Is it illegal to walk around wearing a counterfeit “I Voted” sticker? #1399458LightbriteParticipantRebYidd23, back in the day, I felt similar… and nearly purchased myself a lot of “I voted” stickers on eBay.
LightbriteParticipantLinked to oral cancer? That’s news to me. Correlation? Six degrees of separation? Minty temptation?
My dentist recommends alcohol-fee mouth wash because alcohol dries the mouth, which iis counterproductive according to my gum and dental needs.
If you need to kill ticks, and don’t have rubbing alcohol, then maybe dropping them in alcoholed-Listerine will do just as well.
Please don’t tell them that I told you this. I’m not a fan of ticks. And yes, if I was hiring someone to work for me, and a tick sent me his or her resume, even if this tick went to the finest schools, had the greatest qualifications, and would bake me negative calorie cookies, I’m sorry, but I’d discriminate against him or her. I’d toss that resume into the alcoholed-Listerine, along with him or her. Then, I’d send his or her family a letter, and invite them to a pool party. The pool will be of rubbing alcohol… and I’m sorry I’m an evil person. I just really cannot support the employment of little vampires who carry viruses.
Thank you… back to the point… gargling. Yes gargling.
LightbriteParticipantRav Schwartz of the cRc states that “mouthwash doesn’t require a hashgacha, but it is preferred to use the kosher variety if available” (cRc)
LightbriteParticipantYou’re so right!
You’d need a special simple Shabbos closet (SSSC).
Ensuring that you have both an electric wardrobe and a SSSC might be a problem if you live in a Victorian home.
Victorian homeowners: Consider moving out if you’re interested in enjoying a SSSC in your retirement.
You’re welcome.
LightbriteParticipantThat’s a tad extreme
LightbriteParticipantWhen you swim across the Arctic Ocean, your car cools down.
LightbriteParticipantLU: Lol!!! Like the apple… so hilarious! 🙂
How do you use two cups?
Oh… you mean in the air? I’m talking about a fly on the wall; a flying fly is too fast for me. That’s because they can see me moving in slow motion, and that makes me even slower.
For the most part, in regards to these little gnat-like flies, the alternative to freeing them is doing nothing, and praying that they’ll escape.
LightbriteParticipantWhen you eat cold protein, your body heats up.
When you eat ginger, your body heats up.
LightbriteParticipant770Chabad: I’ve been using plastic cups, and then recycling them afterward. I actually ran out of plastic cups, because I was using them to catch and release flies.
If I have a recyclable container around, then sometimes I will use that.
I don’t want to keep the cup in the house. Tonight, I saw a little fly, and wondered what to do. I took an opaque container to capture him or her, but then he or she flew away.
Should I buy clear plastic cups for this purpose alone?
LightbriteParticipantMeno, it is a pretty deep question, because if your question only braised the surface, then ascertaining that the body is higher than 90-degrees internally wouldn’t fly with scientists.
Probing deeper, to collect evidence of the internal human temperature, would then provide the material needed to make an effective and sound argument.
LightbriteParticipantajs4, I commend you!!!
And yes it makes sense for ajs4 to ask about men-only fitness videos because often a male trainer’s video will still have women in the background.
Thank you for asking us here for help 🙂
Sending you blessings… and hopefully someone here will help with answers
LightbriteParticipantOOoops sorry ajs4!
My comment wasn’t for you, but for Gadolhadorah.
LightbriteParticipantAjs4: The gym is not the same as being on the street.
At the gym, there is the possibility of sharing fitness equipment before and after women. Working out beside them. Having conversations, or having women speak to him.
I used to work at a gym, and my co-workers had a lot of stories.
LightbriteParticipantWill you please give me a tad reminder of the position that you’re vying to leap into?
If you give me that *tad,* then I’m sure I can make it to the *poll*.
November 6, 2017 7:46 pm at 7:46 pm in reply to: Is it illegal to walk around wearing a counterfeit “I Voted” sticker? #1397125LightbriteParticipantDoes the sticker have an expiration date?
LightbriteParticipantDeep question Meno!
November 5, 2017 11:38 pm at 11:38 pm in reply to: The Pug CRISIS in the Jewish community is UNDERrated!!! #1396467LightbriteParticipantSadigurarebbeno: Baruch Hashem, there is no pug crisis. This just one of those threads… and yay, because now we know at least one Jewish pug 🙂
November 5, 2017 11:38 pm at 11:38 pm in reply to: The Pug CRISIS in the Jewish community is UNDERrated!!! #1396466LightbriteParticipantK-cup, cute story! 🙂
LightbriteParticipantDid Adam mill wheat to make flour?
LightbriteParticipantiacisrmma: Lol, good point. My post was vague… and while it made sense to me, your viewpoint, now I totally see 🙂
LightbriteParticipantakuperma, I can both appreciate the daylight hours and still long to connect with family. Must the two be mutually exclusive in your eyes?
LightbriteParticipantJoseph: I’ve previously lived on the best coast, and it was a bit easier there for me to speak with family, since I’d call at night.
Technically, I can call Israel here, at night, to reach family in the morning. However, that requires me to call much later at night, and my family to be available much earlier in the morning.
BUT… Overall, I am really lucky! Back in the day, when I was growing up, calling Israel from my cell phone without a calling card was only a dream. So yay, baruch Hashem for such frustrations because these communication connections are miracles 🙂
LightbriteParticipantiacisrmma: You are right in that what I said does not make sense, but it is still true.
Life was really sweet during this week or so when Israel was only 6 hours forward, based on the clock. I was able to speak to my family members later in the day, over here in EST. When the clocks change, so do the schedules of my family members. So, while nothing really happened, you can say, that’s not true.
I have only so many hours in the morning and day over here before I cannot call my family in Israel to say Hi.
Now, we’re back at the 7 hour difference, and I am simply grateful for being able to communicate with my family at all. Nevertheless, I cannot deny that the 6 hour difference was a quite convenient and rewarding while it lasted.
Thank you
LightbriteParticipantI think that I already asked this question… Anyway, new thought!
What if I get a more powerful 15in laptop, and a monitor? I already use a separate keyboard for my laptop, so it’s not like I need it right in front of me. A 15in is easier to travel with, at least. Though, this is something that I want to keep at home.
Does anyone here use a 15in with a monitor at home?
Thank you :)_
LightbriteParticipantAlso a huge problem at gas stations
LightbriteParticipantNeville ChaimBerlin: Thank you for your thoughtful feedback!
I am definitely curious, because I really don’t understand how New York works, let alone how Yidden living in New York are organized and such.
Also asking because I am planning to visit… 🙂
LightbriteParticipantWow. Thank you CTLAWYER!!! ☺
You just gave me more than I could ask for… yay!
November 3, 2017 7:10 am at 7:10 am in reply to: Why does Cholov Yisroel milk cost so much? #1395283LightbriteParticipantFor more milk pricing info, check out the USDA’s “Retail Dairy Market News,” and “Milk Cost of Production Estimates.”
LightbriteParticipantDo you have one of those special scanner proof wallets?
LightbriteParticipantSo easy to say!
They sell grapes all packaged up here, and sometimes they slip some softer-grapes vines in the middle of the bag or box of grapes.
LightbriteParticipantDo any stores even sell grapes that you can pick out and bag up on your own?
Oh wait…. maybe that does exist?
LightbriteParticipantIf I visit Queens, what else is there to do in addition to visiting the Rebbe’s Ohel?
November 3, 2017 7:10 am at 7:10 am in reply to: The Pug CRISIS in the Jewish community is UNDERrated!!! #1395280LightbriteParticipantPugs make great companions… because they’re born with wrinkly faces… so you’ll always look young in family photos.
Btw… meant to say a *Jew with a pug.
Thank you
