    “With some people it’s easy enough to tell that they’re not faking.”

    There are some pretty charming people out there that even trained professionals get faked out.

    That’s the whole thing about this behavior. Yes there would be of course some novices to rule out. On the other hand, someone with a predatory will, Hashem can even help that person commit an aveirah, as Hashem leads us where we want to go.

    Someone who knows enough about human behavior and what an individual is capable of would not be so sure about knowing how to spot a faker. Being too sure of ourselves and our ability to read people can be dangerous.

    …as for 20, yea! omgosh. Not shidduchim, but other things in life just compounded and wow.

    I remember later on someone older told me that the 20’s are terrible. It was the first time that someone wasn’t telling me that this was “the best time of my life.” It was such a relief. Obviously we all have different experiences, but it was so nice to hear that life could get better and B”H for that.

    What about wearing a button down collared shirt with a colored cloth napkin in the pocket instead of the jacket?

    Even people who wear jackets to work may not go to the extent of tucking in a colored cloth napkin.

    Make the napkin thing the fancy piece that shows you’re speaking to the King

    Ha! Really? How did he ask an insulting question? From the transcript, all he did was ask Trump about how he would be handling the increase in antisemitic threats that have gone up since he took office.

    Why not ask? Trump has a plan for everything right? He’s going to fix the murder rate. Illegal immigration. Economy. Whatever.

    So how is he going to fix this?

    AND surprise… Trump didn’t listen to the question. He got defensive and made a big scene. Totally off topic.

    Of course now he gets Jews to blame Turx. Really? Do you think that if another Jew asked the question more eloquently Trump would get the point?

    His behavior is abusive and he is a bully —-AKA Irrational.

    Leave the reporter alone. Don’t let Trump win here by getting Jews to blame the guy who only spoke some truth.

    Yays! I love when I’m wrong and there are all these details that I didn’t even think of to prove how much I needed to open my mind to other realities (such as Joseph responding and the post was deleted and so the Mod gave him a memo and I foolishly thought it was a hit to my ego when it really was Mod-29 talking to Joseph about something behind the scenes…)

    LU: Age still doesn’t tell the full story when it comes to pain and suffering.

    Although I am a lot older age-wise, I didn’t grow up with the pressure or the drive to find my beshert. Even personally speaking it wasn’t something that I thought I’d ever want until relatively recently.

    As for a long hard road to get to the point where she is now. That’s major. To do the work behind the scenes to prepare oneself. Sounds like she’s been working on getting a solid foundation.

    Good stuff 🙂

    Can you then just delete the thread please?

    It was a serious question that reflected off of the OP on the other thread, which is also in this CR forum (Though now I know that Mods sometimes submit posts and threads that they personally may not find appealing for various reasons).

    Joseph wouldn’t go into the building.

    If the ceremony isn’t on Shabbos then he can tochacha from the road maybe. Or stop people before they step on the property.

    That is possible. Overall though, how does it affect general society who doesn’t know your story?

    Was PBA really honoring the meaning and people of the word when he said:

    “Who in the world wears a jacket for shachris? then you hang it over one shoulder? or button it without putting your left arm through? Seems retarded.”

    Some Common Sense: One thing that frustrates me is that CVS no longer sells cigarettes (Yay that’s wonderful) and the problem is that at the pharmacy, they had a nurse that prescribed a friend of mine an anti-depressant.

    She met her once. Wrote a prescription to help her deal with smoking cravings. The friend got it filled at the pharmacy right then and there.

    Hello! That’s really really dangerous in my humble opinion. Even a psychiatrist, whose job it is to make those determinations, takes time to assess the person and one’s needs with more time and background.

    About that word:

    In my humble opinion, it’s offensive to throw that around like it’s humorous and doesn’t promote a stigma.

    It may not have negative consequences for some people’s lives but it comes at the expense of others.

    There are other words in the dictionary that can give you a more accurate and less derogatory affect.

    If you want, then I can list some, which then would be potentially edited out. I trust that you have the creativity to come up with a selection on your own.

    I didn’t read it that way.

    I read it that if a Yeshiva bochur (who obvious studies) walked around, esp in Israel, with a smaller brim, then he could tan easily and quickly (like just the walk to shul in the sun) and thus no one would believe that he spends all day studying.

    But now that I read it the way that you thought that it was, it’s like that picture with the Vase and the Two Faces.

    I only saw a Vase. But then someone points out the Two Faces. Life is never the same afterward.

    Health you said: “but the trend nowadays to use you guys as PCP’S.

    I’m not sure why this phenomenon is occurring!

    Perhaps it’s lack of money or insurance, or perhaps it’s laziness or something else (which I can’t think of)! “

    Hypotheses of why this is so:

    -Making an appt w/a PCP can takes days or weeks from the day of need/call. Pharmacists are right there the same day.

    -Going to a PCP means taking off work, or changing one’s schedule and missing important things. Pharmacists are there until 9, or even 24 hours a day.

    -Pharmacists are in grocery stores or in convenient locations. One can ask while doing regular things like buying food or take a moment to go next door to ask.

    -Pharmacists are very helpful and willing to answer questions. PCP’s in my experience are very busy, and moving from my room to the next and then back. I start asking one question and sometimes it’s interrupted. ______Though if it’s a busy pharmacy and busy hour, then they really don’t have time to talk because they’re dealing with a bunch of people waiting in line and juggling people in drive-throughs too.

    -Yes because of money and free access, at least for customers who have a rapport with the pharmacist already it’s nice.

    -No shame (lol). Sometimes I feel more comfortable asking ridiculous-sounding but honest vulnerable questions. Another cool thing was when a pharmacist said “Me too.” Made me feel like a regular human.

    kfb: Hashem is also in the bathroom and yet there is a reason why we don’t daven in bathrooms.

    Is the street really the same as a shul?

    The shul is a designated place. It’s home to sacred texts, sacred words, the Torah scrolls, and people are there to speak to Hashem together and individually.

    Also it could establish wearing jackets as more of a policy thing or norm at that particular shul. It’s what you do when you daven.

    Who knows why they don’t want to do so?

    If someone doesn’t wear a jacket to work, and he may only have a few nice jackets, then putting it to daily use may be a deterrent.

    And plus they may in turn end up liking wearing a jacket that they eventually purchase or designate one of their jackets for davening and keep it in their car so that they have it on hand every day.
