    If an earthquake was coming, wouldn’t it make more sense to sleep in an open field on one of those huge air mattresses that firefighters inflate at the bottom of buildings for people to land on, and stunt people use for the same purposes?

    Maybe add a net on the top of it so you can’t bounce out.

    Today I looked up some photos on credit card skimmers, and it’s so possible that I’ve used one and never knew it.

    Just last year, police in my county removed over half a hundred skimmers at gas stations.

    Gosh… when did people start using credit cards?

    The real question is what did the first challah’s braids look like?

    And technically, wasn’t the first challah a twin?

    WinnieThePooh, omgosh thank you!!!

    Wow, I always thought that the Rebbe’s Ohel and 770 were on the same property! Whoa… so interesting.

    I remember hearing how he’d go to his father-in-law’s to daven for people, and thinking that he was going someplace at 770.

    Thank you for the info 🙂

    Well, if you have to talk all day, then in my humble opinion it’s easier to take periodic sips than have a hard candy in your mouth while giving a lecture.

    Though, maybe periodic sips doesn’t account to “all day” according to your definition.

    Jakob, are you serious?

    That’s exactly what someone else told me last night, that Fox ws the only honest news source.

    I’m confused though, because what’s this thing about Fox reporters wanting to quit?

    Also, I don’t have a tv, but from what I remember from back when I had a tv, Fox reminded me of some tabloid spitting out the same thing 3 times a day.

    At the same time, I don’t think CNN or BBC are any better, especially since they both sometimes have the most offensive anti-Israel headlines… You know the type; the ones that spin things around to make it seem like the terrorist who just killed x amount of innocent people is the victim because he ended up blowing himself up too. Like hello!

    Depends on how cold it is

    It could be a near straight fall waterslide, or a Black Diamond ski slope.

    If the slope is in the desert, then I don’t know… do you have any idea about a slippery desert slope?

    out of town yid: As for living, because life where I was was sinply unaffordable and I could not even get a sustainable retail, hotel, or food service job (every job had billions vying for the opportunity and I was an inexperienced newcomer) I moved from the most magical amazing place that I had ever stepped foot on in my life to a boring suburb in a simple town with much more affordable food and housing.

    When I first moved here, I told my new rabbi about my life. Suddenly he stopped me when I shared about a recent chesed that I had done. My rabbi told me that giving money away, for someone in my position, wasn’t chesed. A lot of pieces started coming together over the years. I seemed to care more about helping others and being a “good person” to a fault.

    Moving to another state forced me to reevaluate my life goals, and take a new look at what I wanted from life.

    You know what, I want to make money. I am still in the process of building myself up. I went back to school, and it was the most empowering things I have done for myself.

    Baruch Hashem, my grades were great, and I finished my degree thanks to Pell grants and academic scholarships. Really a blessing.

    Out of town yid, I do not know your circumstances, but I want you to know that you don’t have to give up who you are.

    You might have to let go of your expectations as to what your purpose is in this world. Maybe Hashem needs you to move.

    Honestly, that’s how I see it in my case.

    No one. No one could have ever gotten me to move from where I was living.

    But a turn of events slowly broke me down to the point that all I wanted was some privacy, a warm bed, and some quiet to reflect and stop fighting for survival.

    Today, I feel at home where I am, and I appreciate having a more boring life.

    It sounds like you need to act. Remember that you are not alone. Hashem is with you. Guiding you even now.

    Update: Not applying for the job.

    My boss showed me the current top candidate’s resume and application (at least, as of last Friday) and this person is exceptionally qualified! I heart the organization and want the best person for the position.. and I am not that person.

    Truthfully though, seeing the background that it takes to be good in this job was really good for me because I can accept that it’s not my path.

    I still need a job, like yesterday, B”H I’m pursuing other options.

    Baruch Hashem, all is good now. Sometimes rainy days can get to me.

    I felt insecure because I was comparing myself to peers who seem to have accomplished way more in their lives than I have at this point. At the same time, Hashem is in charge, and Hashem gave me a purpose. So, it’s okay if my path doesn’t look like everyone else’s.

    Emuna is the solution here. I have emuna. Hashem is in control, and instead of having the plan outlined by society as being, the way, we have Hashem’s Hashgacha Pratis.

    Anyway… thank you. 🙂

    I’m so sorry CTLAWYER for you and MRS. CTLAWYER’s loss… Thank you for asking for our humble opinions on this majorly important matter.

    Here are my thoughts:

    Answer #1: Yiddish name; it’s personal to your wife’s mom. Using her Yiddish name, the name that comes to mind and heart when your wife thinks of the name that speaks of her mom’s neshama, honors their maternal bond. It’s authentic.

    Answer #2: One-hundred percent, inscribe both stones, but personalize the one near husband #1 in a way that both respects their marriage together, all the while making it clear that she had since moved on to another marriage, and thus isn’t buried beside husband #1.

    B’Hatzlacha, and may whatever you choose to do be good and bring good, enhancing your mother-in-law’s memory as a blessing in this world and the world to come.

    Last night, I had a dream that I was asked to take a breathalyzer. The breathalyzer was in a little measuring cup. I puffed air into it. The results were higher than legal limit. I started crying, saying that I wanted to take it again. It made no sense. I don’t even drink.

    But before I took the test, I was chewing gum. I spit it out seconds before taking the breathalyzer.

    I asked the person who gave it to me if the gum would result in a false positive. Yes. She said. That’s exactly why the results came out positive! It was the sugar alcohols.

    When I woke up, I wondered where that dream came from.

    Then I remembered your thread. I looked up extracts and grain alcohol, wondering if an extract could affect someone like alcohol, even in a small dose.

    Weird how the CR ends up in my sleep.

    Thank you

    Master Plan for Development Approved in Lakewood

    By Mordechai Wincorn

    “Lakewood’s planning committee voted to approve a much-debated “Master Plan” that will guide development in the rapidly growing town for the next 10 years. The plan attempts to balance the dual need for expanded housing to keep up with the rapidly expanding community as well as public demands to reduce congestion and retain aesthetic qualities of the town…” (Hamodia)

    For more details on the plan, please see the article.

    Also, Google doesn’t have every answer.
