    My last post was a summary of what (LU + CR) have been saying

    Citation (LU et al)

    in reply to: What would you do about a bruised leg? #1222916

    FYI: The bruise started by my knee and now elongated closer to my ankle. Turns out that this is normal.

    She said that as the body absorbs the blood, the cells shift down because of gravity.

    She’s seen patients who had a bruise on their forehead, and eventually the blood went down their entire face. And a bruise on the chest going down to the leg.

    Mine didn’t go down that far visibly because she suspects that the impact broke blood vessels deeper and underneath the fascia.

    However, if the impact hit more superficial vessels, then the bruising could have been visible up to my toes. She’s even seen patients with PURPLE TOES that came from leg injuries.

    LU: That’s another way to get a PURPLE TOE <3

    Thanks all 🙂

    It’s a BIG hematoma!

    Had I come in four months ago, she would have sent me to a surgeon to see if they could drain the blood.

    One cool thing is that it didn’t so much when it first happened to me because I had a lot of stress and other stuff going on in my life at the time. Hence, I put off going to the doctor to address the other circumstances. Interesting stuff imho.

    She submitted a request for an MRI ~ Approval TBD.

    Plus here is the second portion of Rabbi Freeman’s support:

    Shortly after the first moon landing, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of blessed memory, pointed out6 that there is support in Torah for the notion that life exists on other planets. Furthermore, we can know something about that life through deduction from what the Torah tells us. Here is his argument:

    1) Get a MENTOR &/or REBBETZIN to guide you.

    2) FIND ONE. Ask you LOR. Call. Show up. Talk. Think. Plan with this person that you trust and who is a good guide for your life.

    3) FOCUS on YOURSELF first.

    4) DO #1.

    UPDATE from USPS Official

    Do NOT put a zip code when sending mail to Israel from the US.

    It could get lost that way, G-d forbid.

    Hashem is so good! I asked a question about Cholov Yisroel in a Cholov Stam kitchen. It hasn’t even posted yet.

    Then I find the answer here.

    NC: Just to clarify please, isn’t a big thing about OO is that it is not with the majority [Chazal majority, not laypeople]?

    Same goes for reform, conservative, etc?

    They went against the majority of what Chazal and current Jewish scholars and leaders.

    So that in itself poses a problem. Even if there were reasons why something should be or whatever, if it’s a fringe then it’s unaccepted. Thus it is against Torah?

    B “if u need to- tell him your seeing someone else (i believe it is permitted to lie i can get you sources in halachah…)”

    Why so he convince her to cheat on her bf/fiance/husband?

    Unless frum guys have mastered their YH completely, a bochur can spin a girl’s “I’m seeing someone else” to hear “I like you but I am burdened by my current SO and if only I wasn’t with him because I am so into you…”

    That’s a no thank you. She doesn’t need a guy around thinking that she’s smitten when she isn’t.

    A “tell him when you see a change you will reconsider (even if you wont).”

    Ha. Yea right. So he can fake being a learner for her? She isn’t interested and that needs to be 100% clear.

    shebbesonian: Isn’t the kitchen also a kashrut concern?

    Even if someone cannot get too much wrong in baking, especially pareve, I thought that sometimes it is trusting the kitchen that poses problems.

    Question please:

    If someone who doesn’t keep Cholov Yisroel on a daily basis AND only bakes Cholov Yisroel Purim treats, is it still considered Cholov Yisroel if the kitchen is Cholov Stam?

    It is not your job to make him into a rabbi or something else.

    It is your job to find a life partner who will share your goals and values. He is nm his own person too. You want someone who wants what you want to begin with. Imho. It doesn’t guarantee anything but you start with a foundation.

    Btw I am also in shidduchim and have been learning this along the way. I was in a very unpleasant situation where I was going to change for the guy and it was too much pressure and it felt like drowning. Imho give that guy a chance to find his beshert. Give yourself the gift of finding yours.

    Don’t do it rebshidduch.

    You cannot make him into someone else.

    There are many beautiful stories about women fixing up their men to become Torah scholars. They are meant to teach lessons but not meant to say that any guy will blossom into a Talmud Chacham so long as the right girl supports him.

    Sorry for telling you so directly. I am not right and don’t know.

    But what I hear from you is the attempt to bring matters into your own hands and find yourself a husband. So your friends brother or brothers friend isn’t the right age. So that didn’t work. Now this guy.

    DY really?

    I also thought that this was a real question. If the answer was suitable halachically, then maybe the OP would feel comfortable posting.

    Maybe the OP wanted to post but didn’t know how it was okay, so wanted to hear from posters here.

    Also, maybe the OP did not feel comfortable asking a LOR directly.

    Thanks for sharing golfer ~ Such sweet memories 🙂

    Reminds me of my grandmother, may her memory be a blessing, who baked the most delicious cookies that I was always trying to recreate on my own.

    I’ve never seen the themes in person. The experience of Purim is changing.

    Maybe commercialization of kashrus and the bustle of today’s life means that some MM won’t be eaten.

    Still you also shared an interesting observation. Costumes, for one thing, are less expensive and maybe easier to come by, since Purim costumes go on sale November 1st (quote from an anonymous genius poster). Though one of the biggest things here imho is that Jews are dressing up their children before Purim and publicly driving around or walking around giving MM, when the rest of nonJewish society is going about their daily lives.

    It’s amazingly beautiful and a blessing that we can be Jewish in the streets today, at least for the most part thank G-d <3

    Also there is a book on this topic called Suddenly Jewish by Barbara Kessel

    According to Aish, Kessel writes mainly on these three populations of people who discovered that they are Jewish:

    1) “[D]escendants of crypto-Jews, Sephardic in origin and living mainly in the southwestern United States”

    2) “[H]idden Jewish children in the Holocaust who were raised as non-Jews by adoptive and foster families”

    3) “[C]hildren of Holocaust survivors who were never told by their parents of their Jewish ancestry”
