Popcorn ceiling 🙂
LF: I don’t know… I wandered around in threads, and one topic lead to another… you know how it goes.
Aww!!! You have tadpoles! 🙂
The deinstitutionalization of people with mental illness was good in that it’s not right for so many people living with a mental illness to be forced into such an oppressive life.
It doesn’t mean that it was right to take away health insurance or health care access for the sake of “saving money.”
Prisons don’t afford mental health access in many situations.
It’s sad that prison ends up being the new asylum.
Progress. Progress. Progress. May we talk about that, instead please?
Wow! I’d never heard of 311 until this post. Thank you!
I had a special guest doctor teach my class, and he spoke quite highly of Wikipedia.
One does not quote directly from Wikipedia. One goes there to find the references to pursue.
It’s like going to a model home, and seeing what’s out there. But you don’t pick up the model home and stick it inside your house-under-construction. You go there and gather the clues and plans of what to explore to fit into your home.
Musta been a different Joseph!
Joseph: Women also buy their cars, and their watches.
“What’s your halachic basis for differentiating between a statue of a person and a photograph of a person?” (Joseph)
Isn’t there a GIANT difference between having a 3D image of someone vs. a photograph?
I thought that’s straight from Torah. Am I mistaken?
Thank you
Aww… how’s Frogette now? B”H, hope she’s good and all is good.
G’mar Chasima Tova to you LU and all! Amen 🙂 🙂 🙂
Lilmod Ulelamaid: Thank YOU!!! 🙂
WOMEN pay for more than you can imagine, behind the scenes. Do you know how much money I’ve spent on extra makeup, outfits, and gasoline just to show up to a date? And I’m a very thrifty spender. Seriously, most of my clothes are second-hand, and I have to sacrifice just to look pretty.
By the way, it’s the husband’s job to provide for his wife, according to halacha. When every date is with the intention that your date may be your future wife, why would you not want to establish the relationship on the right footing?
That said, I feel for you. It’s not easy to struggle with parnassah. Just please, keep in mind that women are investing in you before you show up for your date.
Thank you
Plus, come on! Like, who has ever only bought “one thing” at a dollar store?
Maybe you tell yourself that, but the reality is that besides that one time when you bought only one pack of 9×12 envelopes, and nothing else, while paying in change (so much so that you ran back to your car to get more (mid-checkout)), one more item will lure you. Then what? You wait one more year to afford one shopping trip?
Excellent point RebYidd23 🙂

Okay don’t mind me… please continue your business… just had to cheer, after seeing my new egg-based invention make it to a RebYidd23 post! Thank you 😄
Aren’t we all dear to one another?
Floating is the new walking.
They must be a few temperatures lower though, right? Canada is colder than New York.
Maybe the Jewish community in Toronto wears more fleece?

The most exciting thing happened the other day! I found my missing sock squished up between the washer and the wall.
Sometimes your missing stuff is in between a rock and a hard place, and it misses you too.
My venus fly trap can eat your koala.
Pagent contestants win titles.
Is it permissible to enter your shelter dog in a dog show pageant, just for the sake of winning a trophy?
If your dog wins a trophy, do you have a right to swap it for cholov stam chocolate? How about cholov Yisroel chocolate? What if you decide you want candy instead? Do you have to pay for new airplane tickets?
Thank you
I’d be a liar if I said that I never kill insects. There are some insects that, oh boy, do I have no patience for, when it comes to them being near my family –like ticks, fleas and lice.
Still… when I see the pain and perseverance of an insect just trying to find home, and I help him or her get there, it’s such a gift from Hashem. For me, it’s so easy to see how to help, and to do it.
Sometimes when it seems like I’ve done everything to no avail, I think about how, in a second, one person can hand me the tool or show me the way to help myself find HOME.
Being able to do something BIG for someone small is a gift.
Thank you RebYidd23 💖
Some insects kill other insects…
I don’t know. I just know that sometimes I’ve been trapped too. In my life, I’ve been really really, Baruch Hashem, blessed to have seemingly out-of-nowhere miracles, where a human came and totally brought me to a safer place.
This wasn’t just once or twice. Many times. Many times, I’ve been that fly buzzing straight into the window. I’ve been that beetle on his back on the concrete step, dangling my limbs in the hot sun. So vulnerable.
You have no clue how much my life is really a series of Hashem keeping me safe by the hands of another human, more so than the typical nurturing that we all get from our environments.
B’esrat Hashem, I don’t bring diseases to people, or anyone. And yet, do you know how many people would write someone, like I am, as being a pest to society? I’m blessed because I was given a chance to become butterfly.
Hashem didn’t give every insect the chance to blossom in such a way.
