    pro geshmake yidden: Was it an “I Voted” sticker? Or an “I just Voted” sticker?

    You 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.

    Well, 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.

    Totally 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).

    Thank 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?

    Linked 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.

    Rav Schwartz of the cRc states that “mouthwash doesn’t require a hashgacha, but it is preferred to use the kosher variety if available” (cRc)

    You’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.

    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.

    770Chabad: 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?

    Meno, 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.

    Ajs4: 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.

    Joseph: 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 🙂

    iacisrmma: 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

    I 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?

    Pugs 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.
