    Winnie the Pooh: Aww that’s so sweet!

    You know what? I just realized that the beautiful paintings of Jews in the Jewish art that I am looking at likely look like a real person that the artist knew or had as a model.

    That’s really cool how someone I have never met can have such an anonymous and artistic presence in my home πŸ’œ

    Thank you for the food for thought! πŸ™‚

    Has anyone here listened to any of Rabbi Shmuel Skaist’s TorahAnytime shiurs yet?

    Here are the titles of two of them:

    1) How to Tell if I am Dating a Robot: Part 4 – Will Your Children be Robots?

    2) How to Tell if I am Dating a Robot: Part 3 – Is He a Robot?

    Thanks because thanks to this thread I found new shiurs to listen to πŸ˜ŠπŸ’‘πŸ’«πŸ’šπŸŒ΄πŸŒ·πŸŒΉ

    “It’s my understanding that that American (federal?) law protects the privacy of personal communications with one’s spiritual advisor (clergy). I figure that this protection was drafted with a specific religion in mind which incorporates human to human β€œconfession” in it’s doctrine. In practice, however, it’s no different than doctor/patient and attorney/client confidentiality,” (blubluh) [emphasis mine]

    blubluh: As for the doctor/patient relationship, it’s not the same. The HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ensures medical disclosures between doctors and patients.

    HIPAA does not, however, entitle someone the ability to confess any criminal activity without consequence.

    “According to the privacy rule, if a healthcare provider believes in good faith that a warning to third parties is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of the patient or others, the provider, consistent with applicable law and standards of ethical conduct, is free to alert those persons whom the provider believes are reasonably able to prevent or lessen the threat. In sharing confidential information, a provider is assumed to have a good faith belief based on the provider’s actual knowledge or in reliance on a credible representation by a person with apparent knowledge or authority.

    Although the explanation of the privacy rule provided by the director is helpful, providers still need to be aware that state laws and court decisions affect how and when providers may disclose information about a patient they believe to be threat to public safety or themselves. ” (Physicians Practice dot com)

    For more information about doctor patient confidentiality laws and regulations, please visit HHS dot gov, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

    Good things about a hard mattress:

    1) You feel very austere.

    2) You cannot sink into the mattress. Thus you are safe from drowning.

    3) When you sleep away from home, you feel more comfortable and appreciative in questionable beds because yours is quite stiff anyway.

    It sounds like RebShidduch is ambivalent right now. She can have mixed feelings. It may not be logical but it’s possible to feel this way and that way, and go back and forth trying to resolve the cognitive dissonance.

    Has no one ever been torn?

    —–

    And/or maybe with this guy she is looking for, perhaps subconsciously, contradictory qualities:
    Like some bochurim are looking for a wife that is this and that, but this and that usually don’t go together in one person.

    That’s what I meant btw. Even if it said tested, that doesn’t indicate that the makeup doesn’t contain toxins and who knows what.

    I bought scarves from China on Ebay too. Also cute socks. Also a book stand. Letter openers. LED dog collars. Headbands.

    Some people buy laptop batteries from China and those are super unregulated and chas v’shalom sometimes explode.

    I wouldn’t touch it. That’s your face. I would be more concerned with their ingredient/chemical content than whether or not the company tested them.

    The makeup could have unlisted preservatives and ingredients. That wouldn’t help even if they tested it on cats to say that it’s safe for humans to wear. Yea right.

    But I am more cautious in these matters. That’s my face. My eyes. My mouth. No way do I want to risk exposing myself to risks by slathering colorful neurotoxin all over my face.

    Definitely don’t go by the masses here. That is my opinion.

    I’d rather give you a bracha for beauty and to find a great sale on reliable US-based cosmetics than see you buying some stam unregulated brand.

    RebYidd23: May you always be naturally beautiful find a great sale and/or affordable reputable brand of makeup to enhance your beauty always with every blessing for revealed good πŸ˜™ πŸ’›πŸ’„πŸ‘‘πŸ’²πŸŽ€πŸ’šπŸŒΊπŸŒ·πŸŒΌπŸŒΈπŸŒΉπŸŒ»πŸ’

    The thread title alone is very charged.

    What’s the motive of this thread? To accuse Jews of murdering their people?

    Am I the only one who is insulted and feels like right away it comes across disrespecting the lives and memories of our families who perished in the Shoah?

    Why is this thread here?

    The OP says “…after the dark years of World War II. The only difference is that then they weren’t passively standing at memorials, they were accomplices at crime scenes.”

    *******

    He said that the Jews who helped build Israel were “accomplices at crime scenes”?!

    Okay it is more complicated than the presented facts and isn’t that in itself lashon hara and a hurtful accusation in itself?

    Attention nudnik post from LB about tights: It’s not a good idea for the average person to wear them 24/7 because they cut off blood flow. Certain layers beneath the skin may be obstructed from circulation, and that could lead to further complications of various natures.

    Okay back to your regular programming.

    Wait. technically if they are loose tights that would be okay but loose tights are not tights and that’s really just pants. I think I just found a non-looping loophole.

    Good things about paper cuts:

    1) You get to witness that moment before and after blood fall, which is like a biological slo-mo.

    2) You can finally use one of the thousands of bandaids you have in your cupboard.

    3) You can say, “Ouch” and release emotional pain in the process.

    TheGoq: You can surely ask either the author or the library.

    However, imagine yourself as an author who slaved away at this book. You have a book promotion coming up at a neighborhood library.

    One of your fans appreciates you so much but cannot afford to buy your book at the book signing for whatever reason, but really wants to meet you in person.

    This fan would come out of one’s way just to be there. Even some of the people buying your book that wouldn’t necessarily plan to see you. They could have just been there at the time, or came along with a friend or something.

    But someone who really wants to meet you and cares about what you wrote, this person. Imagine if someone told you that this fan wasn’t going to show up because it didn’t seem right to stop by without buying a book. What a shame! What a gift it is to meet someone who cares about what you read! That’s priceless.

    TheGoq — Your presence alone will be a blessing! At least, I would appreciate it. I have been to book signings and I think that authors really appreciate it when someone takes the time to see them, and let them know how much their book made a difference in one’s life. That’s all. If you can do that, you have no clue what kind of gift that is. Seriously.
