Irma!
Just today, like two hours ago, I was thinking the same exact question!
There was a sign at the pharmacy stating that this month’s flavor special was $1.99. For $1.99, you can flavor your medication with their grape flavored syrup.
When I was a kid, I sometimes liked grape soda. “Sometimes” because too much inverted the taste, somehow.
There is a misconception here, Spreadthetruth, that you’d appreciate, given your desire for truth – and it’s this – thinking and questioning does not mean worrying.
In fact, often asking questions is out of curiosity, where the mind is actively engaging in understanding the world.
So unless you are worrying here, it’s safe to honestly say that I have no clue what you’re talking about… and maybe you simply do not think the same way as the OP, but know that you do not understand, for then you won’t fall into a place of judging one’s thoughts.
Thank you and keep spreading true truth 🙂
R4nd0m3x: Back when August 31st 2017 existed in the present moment, Irma could have approached the US as a Tropical Storm, or it could have dissipated completely before reaching a Hurricane Status high enough for its title to be used in the thread title.
If you would like, you are welcome to create a thread titled, “Hurricane Irma.”
Thank you for visiting A,B,T Motors, where your car comes first!
Yes. Very true about the infectious diseases wiping out Native Americans.
Another rebuke…
When I learned about Native Americans, we were taught that they saw the sail boats headed for their land but since they had never before seen such ships (and it was beyond their comprehension to expect humans traveling towards them), they believed the ships to be sea creatures.
For weeks and possibly longer, Native Americans watched the ships, or sea creatures, approach land. —This information goes against the claim that Native Americans didn’t live on the coast.
Granted it’s possible that some lived on the coast and others didn’t. Some lived near the coast perhaps, and maybe only seasonally.
It doesn’t have to be one way or another. Various opinionsay be accurate. Claiming all Native Americans as something is a great generalization.
Thank you
At shul, my rabbi publicly praises individual community members who helped set up an event, cooked the food, organized the table arrangements, and etc.
I know for a fact that others were involved in the planning and implementation of this event. My rabbi did not mention every single person’s name.
Are you saying that my rabbi was wrong too?
A zipline for you, or for you + your vehicle?
It’s not okay to stand next to two people because three’s a crowd.

Thank you golfer! I really appreciate your kind words, and your message came across thoughtfully 🙂 🙂 🙂
Nechomah 💖 and WinniethePooh 💓 are also super helpful and you’re blessed if they pop up to chime in on threads.
Health! Comes in with exclamation marks that will grow on you, to the point that you appreciate the enthusiasm ☺
Mod-29 pops in once in a while to say hello and voice Mod’s opinion and feelings 😊
CTLAWYER knows stuff!
Avram in MD brings in new information.
RebYidd23 has a fabulous mind and sense of humor ❤
It’s really hard to talk about people without feeling like everyone else deserves mention… because you all do! ☺☺☺
But to answer your question about steering clear… it’s personalities and what you mesh with.
Also, I find that I avoid certain threads, rather than people.
For example, presidential politics… I pulled out quickly and Baruch Hashem haven’t looked back!
If a thread bugs you, you don’t have to respond.
Okay the end and Shavua tov ☺☺☺
Thank YOU LU ☺☺☺💖💖💖💜💜💜💜💚💚💚💛💛💛
Overworked Mom: ABOUT LU 😊
LU is an amazing support and kli filled with good and brachot.She is very well-read, and is a go-to if you’re looking for someone to recommend wonderful Jewish books.
Also, LU is extremely resourceful with contacts in the US and Israel, and can often assist you in reaching out to someone to help you locally, if need be, by providing direction on who to contact specifically 🙂
“Junk is something you keep for years and need a week after throwing it away.”
Growing up, my mom taught me to always break an egg in a small glass Pyrex to check all over for blood spots, including peaking underneath the little dish. In the rare occasions when an egg had blood, the egg would be tossed out and I’d get a new one.
For anyone who is new here, fyi, I grew up in a less observant household. Later on in life, I noticed that many people [read less observant and non-Jewish] just break their eggs into the pan, bowl, or whatever dish they need to use it for, in cases where they don’t need to break one egg at a time exclusively to beat or whatever [gosh doesn’t it sound violent in this context?].
It turned out that my mom taught me halacha, something her mother taught her, and I found that out many many years later when I learned more about kashrut. I love my mom. Pretty cool 🙂
Thanks!
The tree gives you oxygen to breathe.
How do you know that you’d still be alive to hate a tree had it not been for this tree that Hashem put in your life?
Can you hire roosters and monkeys to live loudly in the branches that shade your garden?
Because maybe your neighbor would subsequently opt for cutting down those branches to build them a house, with sound proofing, on the other side of said neighbor’s property?
Omgosh ilovetohock!!!
Thank YOU 🙂
So often I write cards on Friday during the daytime, to mail before Shabbos, and feel SOOOOOOooOOo self-conscious because I worry that someone will think that I wrote it on Shabbos (because I date the cards).
I wonder if I need to post or pre-date them. I’ve pre-dated cards a few times, which was nice, so maybe I can make that a habit.
Staying tuned to your thread to see what other posters have to say 🙂
Yay!! That’s true: Joseph is Joseph 🙂
Another fyi, post times are the time that the Mod approved your post (not the time that you submitted the post, which used to be this way).
For a while, Mods had a siesta from 7-10pm. I don’t know if that’s still their naptime (guessing that they are bust IRL then).
The good news here is that the Mods bring us yummy stuffed cabbage when they return. It’s magical stuffed cabbage, turning fleishig when you’re fleishig, and milchig if you’re milchig, and parev if you want ~ Mods are very talented 🙂
Welcome Overworked Mom 🙂
Glad that you joined us! Hopefully you’ll enjoy your time here and learn a lot of good stuff 🙂
Umm… we all have our nuances, and at the end of the day, I like that about the CR.
Also, it may be considered lashon hara to answer your OP.
… anyway… again, Welcome 🙂
akuperma: That’s so COOL! Wow. I had no clue that Native Americans preferred to live inland (and did).
Oh yea, you just reminded me… even when Irma happens in the ocean, it affects humans on ships, including some current cruises.
I guess Europeans preferred the coasts because of trade routes, for one thing. Traveling wasn’t too easy back then too. Hmm.
Thanks for the lesson 🙂
huju: Lol!!! So funny 🙂

Yea, I first learned about Irma through this thread. B’esrat Hashem she will fizzle away far out in ocean.I still don’t understand the difference between a Member and a Participant.
Do you know how to differentiate between the two species of posters?
Thank you 🙂
Aww RebYidd23, if you were a pancake, you’d totally be any flavor that you’d want to be… with major super duper PRETTY shiny SPRINKLES on TOP 🙂
Wow!!! So novel! First time I’ve heard a poster object to having a subtitle.
Thanks for sharing RebYidd23… what if there was an underground mob of anti-subtitlers all this time?
What if they had a political action committee that paid YWN in chocolate gelt to remove subtitles?
What if we all imagined subtitles? What if….
