Children make sweet abstract art.
Other possible drying devices… towel, gravity, baby wearing a diaper
Is one allowed to dry off a wet chair on Shabbos? Using ones hands? Using another device?
Joseph: Sometimes moving to the suburbs may be the biggest way for some Yidden to avoid stepping into such risky predicaments.
Do people still listen to books on tape during their sleep?
Or, was that trend a 90’s thing, where people fell asleep to educational audiobooks, expecting to br listening and absorbing the material while sleeping?
Either way, sleep plays a huge role in processing information.
Learning over time
Being amongst learned people
Learning while living (in the car)Fruit trees love listening to beautiful music.
Wow. This is interesting.
Post from 2011
Does every city have something exciting to offer everyone?
I’ve referred to a place as a Mecca before. Was that wrong?
Like-minded people really do flock and congregate in this particular city.
Now that I’ve read thus thread, that must sound weird to someone who regards Mecca as a holy place. I totally meant it in a secular way.
Interesting. I don’t know how I’d react if I heard someone casually referring to a rabbi as some business or political mentor.
People addicted to cigarettes still have a difficult time not smoking in Shabbat.
Someone who successfully abstains from smoking on Shabbat may be compensating by substituting smoking with another addictive behavior, such as using alcohol or food to get by during those hours.
Also, Shabbat doesn’t have the same triggers that come when one may have to earn parnassah, while juggling being a spouse and parent during the week.
Those additional stress triggers, coupled with the reduced social support thay may come with Shabbat, make quitting smoking much greater.
Besides, it’s not like someone who doesn’t smoke on Shabbat quit for good. Haven’t you seen anyone go straight for a cigarette after Havdalah?
You’re asking the person to give up smoking, not postpone it.
Quitting may require one to change one’s daily routine and environment —no easy task.
What about naming a child Batshmoneh or Benshesh?
I see what you’re saying, since the name Batsheva is from the Torah.
I wonder if anyone, who isn’t a bat sheva, has the name Batsheva. As far as I know, I’ve never met a Batsheva.
So, people ask a rav about what to name their children? I didn’t realize that people ask a rav about a baby’s name in such a case. I thought that people went to a rav in naming situations where multiple parties want a particular name, and they need help coming to an agreement
Thanks again iacisrmma ☺
Don’t they say that no one is the same person that his or her spouse thought he or she was after getting married?
LB: Who is they? Everyone. People. Jewish. Your rabbi. Your rebbetzin. NonJewish. Your teacher. Your physician assistant. Your neighbor.
Wait no. Many people say that whole thing about the person you married being different after marriage. That’s life.
But then again, I’ve heard that if you do the work of getting to know the person, in a variety of situations, then you can at least know the foundation of a person.
In other words, you can trust B”H that this person is compatible with you. Or maybe I’m just misinterpretating it with optimism?
Thanks ☺
iacisrmma: The child that I’m pretty sure is named Nisan was named Nisan because his parents wanted to nickname him “Nes” for miracle.
I have met a Nissim too.
Thank you for your info ☺
iacisrmma: Is it more appropriate to name your daughter “Batsheva” over “Sivan”?
Joseph: While I don’t know if your question was intended for someone in particular, and/or everyone, I shall respond to you.
No, I have not yet met an Elul, or a Shvat.
However, I’m pretty sure that I’ve met a Nisan.
I’ve also met an Av[i], whose given name is likely “Avraham.” So, I don’t think that counts, but still.
How about you? Have you met anyone who shares a name with a Jewish month?
Thanks 🙂
Sivan is a beautiful name! 🙂
I’ve met a couple of young ladies named Sivan, at least one of which was born during the month of Sivan. Ever since meeting her, I find myself thinking of her every Sivan.
RebYidd23: What about when the one who is most particular about where the decorations go, is someone who is 90 years old and unable to decorate the sukkah, due to health concerns?
That person may ask someone else to decorate the sukkah for him or her.
Hashem knows; that’s Who. 🙂
slominer: Good question. Surely there are great arguments to say the opposite.
Still, this is what happens when someone’s posting on the internet:
There is a person looking at a screen somewhere, and having conversations in one’s head and replying to them. I’m not orally speaking as I type this. There are no other humans in the room. If I were to have this conversation with another human, in a place with other humans, with additional voices, I might feel drained after prolonged communication. Online though, I feel that I can post and manage the communication.Now, if someone only posted when in a group, and read all the posts aloud, and made it a community event where all of this posting was really just a small piece of a great real-life open party, then maybe it’s more extroverted.
Okay… sorry if I didn’t answer your question.
Sometimes, I’m on my phone, and reading/participating in the CR. Meanwhile, I may be standing in the grocery store line. I might be outside with my dog. If I wanted to be more extroverted, I could have struck up conversation with someone there, or at least made eye contact. But no. I like being in the CR, because it keeps me learning, and lets me maintain boundaries.
Anyway… I’ve read CR posts and talked about it with real life people. Not everyone really gets it. It’s interesting, because I never was part of any online forum before the CR, or after. I just ask questions and reply here. Okay, I’m done talking.
The end 🙂
Wow, this is from 2011. I wonder what the number is now, now that it’s 5778.
But I’m not a man, so I can’t be a part of your group. Nevertheless, I send you and your group blessings for the best!
I bet a good number of CR posters are introverts. If not, then they’re playing introverts by posting in an online forum.
Do online trolls have colorful hair that sticks up?
No, but you can take your bitcoin, and my two cents.
You’re welcome 🙂
