    Maybe he doesn’t want his basement smelling of salami and his family aren’t fans of meaty smelling staircases.

    Omgosh DovidBT! I agree about the dangers of putting cookies into a hot oven wearing a BIG hat! Also the hat getting in one’s eyes too.

    Thanks I didn’t think of that…. and it would be risky. Hmm. What does that mean? That I need to tweak my theory now to consider the scary consequences of a surge of husbands baking in big hats? I think so. Or. Maybe not. Maybe said husbands have a *patent* (say it with a Hebrew accent) out there that prevents the dangers of which you speak and more — all so their baking masterpieces keep on coming!

    Now I want cookies.

    Frum town: An area where there are at least 10 Jewish families living in a dense enough population to make up a culture, all within walking distance to a shul that they share as part of their community, and/or a suitable definition determined by context.

    Example of someone speaking to a household member in a frum town: Shimon is preparing the eruv for Shabbos, can you please pick up carrots on the way home?

    Example of someone speaking to a household member in a non-frum town: Corriander is coming over to play video games on Saturday, can you please order pizza that morning?

    Thank you 🙂

    Wolf: There’s been a lot of wondering and conversing about how hats got so big. Of course my theory won’t apply to all Jewish men who bake, but it’s a legitimate theory recognized by the Speculation Committee of Jewish Knowledge and Torah of the World.

    “Zipzap23: Do I leave? Rebbe Zoomzoom sent me as a shliach to buzz around this n sweet lady because she clearly needed the company, but now she’s trying to kill me!

    I want out but my Rebbe tells me to stay and she’ll calm down, but now she’s at some virtual coffee shop demanding someone make the proper tune for her to send me to Olam Haba. But I’m not ready to die! This was never a suicide mission!!!

    HELP!!! How do I get her to see that I’m really on her side? Is she so oblivious to my Sh’ma that she doesn’t hear it? Can’t she I’m davening for her?

    To think, before coming here I was buzzing all over the world. People paid me to travel near and far for chizzuk and brachot! I cannot let all Hashem’s people down by getting myself killed.

    All she needs is a cup and piece a paper if she wants me gone anyway. I’ll go to my next assignment. My Rebbe will understand. Just please lady chill and have emuna. No one was sent to you to be murdered.

    If you all don’t hear from me again, sending you all blessings for the best. And I pray Hashem has rachmanos on her when she’ll be doing teshuva. Thanks.”

    Kill kill kill no one my dear!
    Because your sweater is too plush
    For you to murder in a rush
    Or in slow-motion
    And at all
    So murder murder murder your will to kill
    And Hashem will deliver an airplane to pick up the fly and they’ll go back to the sky
    Because at the end of the day
    Winged beasts or no-winged beasts only want to play

    Where is EH 165:4?

    Love can do a lot but it doesn’t just fix things. We’re also not supposed to stray after our hearts.

    Also, feelings and emotions change.

    And love could really be chemical in the brain when two people meet and “fall in love” but two years later when they’re partners in life, paying bills, juggling babies, parenting together, and asserting themselves with in-laws, love needs to be practical.

    I too am not a fan of stigma. Yet that does not mean love is everything. If that were true, then why marry Jewish because one can also fall in love with someone who isn’t Jewish? Does love conquer all here too?

    Thank you

    So besides now not having to figure out how to make frozen yogurt with only frozen bananas, vanilla extract, and a little water, the new development is the need to figure out how to make this recipe without bananas….

    -Gluten free oats, pulverized into oat flout
    -Shredded cabbage
    -1 egg
    -a lil vanilla extract
    -1 BANANA mashed up
    -Optional half handful of frozen blueberries

    And a glass pie pan sprayed with olive oil spray

    Mix all ingredients and pour into glass pie pan. Microwave for more than 5 min if you have my microwave and less than 10 if you have my microwave.

    It’s a MUGEL!!! Kugel in a microwave. With the blueberries is a Mugel-cake – pancake kugel hybrid

    —-

    Without the banana, it’s crunchy and unsweet. In theory, maybe 1 tablespoon of flaxmeal in 3 tablespoons of hot water-ish mixed to goo – and/or applesauce… but I don’t know! Maybe mashed green peas?

    Any ideas, Joseph? 🙂

    CTLAWYER: Wow, well thank you! Adult Offspring sounds less appealing so I can be grateful for having to work with this.

    Hmmm. Meno I hope my rights to the story are safe here… and I wrote it to show how it wouldn’t make sense, but that is after the details and stuff. I want to focus on X in the beginning, and only after learning more about the kids do I go into talking about them and their ages.

    If I dated it from the start, like “20 years ago X took her first child Sam into the woods…” people would get the age but then that could date the story or maybe create distance with the reader. I want the reader to feel it in the now.

    Thank you for making me think about it more creatively.

    Yes I can see how that would work in some cases.

    Right now I have a story to write (and have written similar ones – also wishing there was such a word) thay goes like…

    X and is amazing. Because of X’s awesomeness, her family is going to Disneyland!

    Why is she so amazing? First if all, X took her kids out of the Community Carnival where management fed little kids to side show employees who didn’t captivate enough of the audience to earn dinner that evening, and brought them to Disneyland with her!

    Now X, and her kids, who are now all grown up – Benji (24), Rooty (32), and Dudu (27) – are going to Universal Studios!

    If not friends and family then CR posters would remember you and at least wonder where you are.

    Just like I wonder about Lilmod Ulemaid and tell myself that she’s baruch Hashem okay and simply busy and needs to take care of herself and is off in the universe doing amazing things!

    By the way, isn’t that why the IRS and taxes help people? Because at least the people at IRS makes an effort to find out about people that they’ve never met, plus they have the funds and rights to do so?

    I switched an older car to synthetic (was almost an adult!) and all was good. That was based on my mechanic’s recommendation, which also was suitable for my climate.

    Manufacturers must consider a general performance across a range of conditions and climates. Freezing. Steaming. In between.

    Aren’t manufacturers also invested in oil? And/or maybe they have some political incentives to keep doing what they’ve been doing? — And maybe AAA and Business Insider do too.

    So true! That’s why I only have yard sales in theory and donate my random unwanted stuff to nonprofits – but that’s only because right now in my life I baruch Hashem have that luxury.

    In the past, I had a moving sale – and a friend over so I wouldn’t be alone with random people.

    People put up ads for stuff online, and that gets messy when dealing with the public for sure.

    B’esrat Hashem maybe they’ll make mobile yards or an online company will figure out how to do it. There are already clothing stores online that act like garage sales and consignment shops;

    I eat sardines now because of the high omega 3 and lower mercury — I have no clue how I didn’t know sardines are actually better than tuna up until last year. Growing up, I ate tuna nearly every day for lunch at school! Sometimes I mourn the loss of my brain had I not eaten tuna – but maybe it’s all in my head? At least I wasn’t eating lead chips and inhaling leaded gas.

    Btw, electrical cords contain lead! Just learned that – even if there’s no warning label. So don’t eat food with your hands or put your fingers in your mouth, or wrapped wires (or unprotected wires), if you’d like to avoid consuming lead.

    Yepp yepp – back to sushi. Yes RY, you can eat cooked sushi, but then it’s not so much sushi sushi as it is fixed towards someone’s liking/request/needs. I eat cooked sushi – eating raw fish weirds me out. My dog loves it though!

    Price of food was extremely relevant growing up for my family and it is now for me.
