LightbriteParticipant
Is it chiyuv to go on both days and hear the Megillah reading more than once?
LightbriteParticipantMaybe the OP was part of another universe and now RY is talking to us from the other side?
LightbriteParticipantOoops did I just give away the miracle and it was really unintentional and now the Mods know?
LightbriteParticipant“But don’t leave a blank post either.” (LU)
Lol 🙂
True dat
LightbriteParticipantIs this against halacha? Lying per se?
When in public and it’s not socially acceptable, I try to sneeze politely. Otherwise I’m a some loud noise that I cannot describe.
Thanks for the empathy 🙂
LU: 🙂
LightbriteParticipantPurim is coming
Let’s gorge on hamentashens
Megillah Esther
LightbriteParticipantA serious bachur knows better than to dress like he is bruised
LightbriteParticipantWhat happens if they didn’t get married right away? Did their family keep feeding them until it happened?
What if they had several daughters of marriageable age? Instead of saving for simchas or seminary, did they invest their resources into plumping up their daughters?
What about Shabbat? You don’t gain weight on Shabbat. How did they manage?
LightbriteParticipantJA!!! That’s Genius!!!
Omgosh I’m still laughing ~ So perfect 🙂
THANK YOU! Going to say bless you to my dog next time.
LightbriteParticipantI ate him.
LightbriteParticipantWhoa LU that’s so cool!
You’re famous 🙂
OMGOSH!!!! I’m there too 🙂 Yays this is so exciting. Saw the “Is Dating Tznius” thread 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks Joseph!!!
LightbriteParticipant“If we’re the same person, we’re schizophrenic because we disagree sometimes.” (LU)
Or just honest about your cognitive dissonance.
We all have it. I want peas for dinner and ice cream. I only chose one because I really don’t want the other but I actually do but I don’t but I do.
LightbriteParticipantMaybe RebYidd23 is representing the plaintiff
LightbriteParticipantAbsolve
Suffern
LightbriteParticipantSyag Lchochma: I will be your bagel friend. You can eat the inside and I will eat the outside and all parts of the bagel will be respected.
RebYidd23: Hypotheses about your T…
1. Treat… “T = Treat people how they want to be treated (the platinum rule), not how you want to be treated (the golden rule).” (According to someone named dan who has a website devoted to “great leadership”)
2. Taking… The T in TCB (Taking Care of Business) by Aretha Franklin
…Hopefully your husband or husband-to-be knows or will know better about bagels.
To love RebYidd23 is to honor the solidarity of the bagel with its klippah. There is no klippah actually. It’s all holy. One piece. One peace.
LightbriteParticipant“Every member of society has a part in deciding what’s ethical.” (RebYidd23)
Except in Torah right? In an observant Jewish community, if someone takes ethics into his own mind/heart and that goes against what everyone else is thinking/doing, then he/she could risk being expelled from that society. Oui?

Maybe he is still here.
Gigul. Just some regular man or woman and we don’t know it.
March 5, 2017 3:37 pm at 3:37 pm in reply to: George Washington was right about political parties #1220830LightbriteParticipantThank you Joseph. Didn’t know that.
Follow up…
<joke>
Why then is anyone here agreeing with this?
What’s wrong with political parties ?
I thought as Jews we’re all into simchas.
</endjoke>
Political parties.
Party is a grouping of individuals. Congregation of people. Party of Four for dinner. Boston Tea Party.
When did Americans start using party to refer to a happy get-together occasion?
LightbriteParticipantSometimes the other side’s grass has fertilizer. Literally speaking.
I had neighbors growing up with the best grass. I think they planted a different type and were meticulous about landscaping.
When one gets to know other people and their challenges, its easier to see that we’re all people.
Also there are many things about greener grass.
Have you ever received a compliment about something and thought to yourself, if only this person knew the flipside?
Or if only this person knew how much work it takes to make this look effortless or natural?
They see green grass and you know it was with the help of fertilizer and obviously a blessing from Hashem.
March 5, 2017 1:43 pm at 1:43 pm in reply to: George Washington was right about political parties #1220828LightbriteParticipantQuestions please…
What did he say?
What was he right about?
LightbriteParticipantSilly putty
Putt putt
Golf
VW
BMW
LightbriteParticipantPartners in Torah:
Click below to schedule an initial talk with one of our Relationship Managers so that we can get you started.”
LU: Guessing you have insider knowledge?
LightbriteParticipantPartners In Torah is “only for people who aren’t religious yet or recently became religious” (LU)?
Really? Who says. Why would they turn away a Jew who wants to learn more?
LightbriteParticipantiacisrmma: Thank you!!! I’ve never heard/seen such a thing.
So cool 🙂
Why didn’t my college career counselor not tell me about this?
I’d love to be a professional bagel scooper. The chewy outside of the bagel is amazingly delicious. Plus, the soft inside can be recycled for edible dice.
LightbriteParticipantI’m going to play it safe B”H and come in Shabbos clothes… I’m still new in the shul and don’t know if anyone dresses up (besides maybe parents).
Thanks, it’s less stressful to start off this way too 🙂
LightbriteParticipantIt’s helped for me:
1. I’ve realized that past dates were there to help me work on my middos and get a better grasp on what I need in a partner (rather than what I want) and who I want to become (rather than who I think that I “should” be and become).
2. I’ve learned that others in the parsha have both unique struggles and ones that I can directly relate to thus far. It is encouraging to know that we can all overcome barriers with perseverance, histadlus, emuna, and bitachon.
3. I really love hearing from married posters who talk about how they struggled and now are happily married. Also, I love hearing from posters who shared about their children’s struggles in the parsha and in time too found their besherts. Personally, I find such personal accounts as a light to show me that this too shall pass and one day B”H I too will have a story to share about the parsha.
4. I also decided not to start smoking.
LightbriteParticipantHow do you scoop a bagel?
What if you eat bagel ice cream? Can you scoop it then?
LightbriteParticipantBubble burst!
All this time I was planting plates and cups and had no clue they would never blossom.
Incidentally, I’ve never planted a spoon. There are none.
LightbriteParticipantMumbles
Magical
LightbriteParticipantYes yes yes please tell us Little Froggie!!!
Side note: The commercially traded bananas that we commonly eat today cannot be planted to bear fruit…
“So now all banana trees come from cuttings and there are no seeds in the fruit. The little brown specs in a banana are the vestiges of seeds that did not develop because of the mutation.” (Google)
March 3, 2017 4:25 pm at 4:25 pm in reply to: Need shadchan for perfect shidduch candidates #1220548LightbriteParticipantHe is the perfect shidduch “candidate.”
Aka on Paper.
Who knows what happens when the man is in office.
I pray that he will be perfect for someone 🙂 for that even an imperfect person can become
LightbriteParticipantWhen is the MM due date?
LightbriteParticipantDo you ever eat a banana on the road?
And then arrive to a place where there is no visible trash can and/or you don’t want to arrive with a banana peel?
Do you have a trashbag in your car?
LightbriteParticipantMaybe I will ask my neighbor or someone if I can call myself from her phone.
YungermanS: Thanks for the brainstorming. Yay 🙂
LightbriteParticipantExcellent point. They may even take it as a compliment.
Several hundred years ago being fat was a sign of dignity and wealth.
LightbriteParticipantRedleg: Thanks for your sensitivity.
Most certainly I do not think that the guy meant to compliment me in any way.
All I was was tznius. I wasn’t trying to look like a Rebbetzin. To a frum Jew I would have looked like a frum Jew.
Actually to frum Jews, one can probably tell I am unmarried at the time since I don’t wear any rings and my hair is on the longer-side and sometimes braided
No headcovering. I also don’t have the bangs or volume that I see in many sheitels that women wear in my area.
How else could one look like a Rebbetzin?
LightbriteParticipantYes my apologies in advance to anyone who was hoping for such a treat
LightbriteParticipantIf you look at grass with only one eye open it will lose it’s dimensional value
LightbriteParticipantHandles
Numbers
LightbriteParticipantLol RebYidd23 you are fun 🙂
LightbriteParticipantSlipper

LightbriteParticipantMarch 3, 2017 5:08 am at 5:08 am in reply to: marrying a good boy who might not be good enough for you #1220732LightbriteParticipantWhat relationship?
LightbriteParticipantI thought he was talking about serving kids wine at Purim. My bad.
SL: Assuming you meant me and not twisted.
Do as you please. You want wine. Do your thing. Grape juice works too. All depends on what you want.
It’s not like my parents didn’t give me wine. I also thank G-d didn’t turn out to be some incoherent who knows what.
Maybe some people do it because wine doesn’t taste good when you’re a kid, at least imho and depends on the wine. Made it less appealing when I got older.
LightbriteParticipantIsn’t a kollel for boys only?
What’s wrong with scooping a bagel? I did that when I was a kid to make cubes with the squishy bread. The cubes tasted better then unsquished bagel.
It’s only muttar to punch a boy if it’s fruit punch and you’re his husband, sometimes.
LightbriteParticipantAt least I knew that turtle chocolates aren’t turtles
LightbriteParticipantEw I really wish I didn’t Google chocolate ants.
Anyone have a mind eraser?
LightbriteParticipantHealth: We’re dinner twins! I also had salmon last night 🙂
Are you saying that don’t want to eat salmon again?
Do you find salmon delicious?
LightbriteParticipantPart of the reason may be that as a woman and divorcee she is left out and her husband is included and invited to more simchas and such.
At least that’s what I have heard from other divorced women, including those with abusive ex husbands.
March 3, 2017 4:44 am at 4:44 am in reply to: marrying a good boy who might not be good enough for you #1220730LightbriteParticipantQuestion for the CR please… Does Reb in Rebshidduch and RebYidd23 stand for Rebbetzin?
