LightbriteParticipant
Bamba falls from the sky in EY
LightbriteParticipantWhy LF?
Sounds like she enjoys the teacher and her classes.
LightbriteParticipantAvram in MD +1 … so Great!
WinnieThePooh: Yes good point.
I didn’t expect him to be buying bird or fish food but it could even be for
An outside wild bird feeder. Or maybe a rescued bird or something.
Fish. Maybe in a home tank I wonder if anyone has a koi pond or something.
Or a mitzvah of taking care of someone else’s animal.
Interesting
LightbriteParticipantLU so glad you’re here ?
LightbriteParticipantGood things:
Seems easy to make
Can use stuff that you already have
Critique:
I didn’t make it and maybe that is why it was hard to visualize
I currently don’t have games at home to use those pieces. Maybe I could make them. If I did have a board game at home to take pieces from, I may not want to since I could risk losing them or getting them mixed up etc, which would make the other game less fun.
What is the whole 22 thing on one side of a 5 x 5 board?
Is there a picture or video out there? That may make it way easier and sound more fun.
Otherwise it was very creative and maybe even fun to try out on a snow day 🙂
LightbriteParticipantHow did her skin become green?
If you take too much minocycline then your skin can turn blue permanently.
Same with consuming colloidal silver.
Eating too many carrots or foods with beta carotene can make your skin orange.
Where does a green complexion come from?
Maybe because Hashem wanted to prove a point?

nishtdayngesheft: so glad that you posted a 7 letter word because I posted an 8 letter word mistakenly
And wrote destory instead of destroy. Not sure if that was autocorrect or myincorrrect. Thank you.
LightbriteParticipantGood point. When I was in first grade or so, my class visited a police station.
After that I said that I wanted to be a police officer.
No one told me that I couldn’t or shouldn’t do that. The feeling eventually passed and then I wanted to do other things when I grew up.
I saw a man wearing a kippah today at the checkout of a pet supply store. I really wanted to look at him a few more seconds, to see if he was from shul and/or I recognized him from somewhere.
I didn’t though… didn’t want to be rude and it wasn’t like I was really going to shout “Hey I’m Jewish too! What shul do you go to?” —but I wanted to.
Pretty sure that he was frum (didn’t see his tzitzit but maybe it was a spiritual vibe and plus Jewish men in my area generally don’t wear kippot outside of shul unless they are frum).
Wondered what kind of animal he had or was shopping for… so frum Jews do not neuter their dogs?
Often it is a requirement for adoption from shelters or rescues.

They [were] GREEEEEAT!
—That wasn’t funny.

February 8, 2017 11:42 pm at 11:42 pm in reply to: Renovating Kitchen with New Sink —Assur? #1215621LightbriteParticipantCTLAWYER: Thank you ~ Your advice is amazingly practical and great for future planning 🙂
LightbriteParticipantThis was meant to be a solution for coffee drinkers.
Like how they invented the ice cream cone for:
Ice cream enthusiasts, or
Individuals in need of a grab-and-go iced dessert, or
People withdrawing from brain freezes, or
Gerbils who refuse to use silverware
LightbriteParticipantMaybe if we swapped English with hieroglyphics it would resolve the issues of alternative facts
LightbriteParticipantCongratulations Little Froggie!!!
You just won the *Best Thread Title* of the Year Award!
Really mamash this was a clever title and that’s why you won four roundtrip tickets to someplace with all expenses paid by Hashem for a tropical vacation where you and your family can leave your yatzar hara at the door and enjoy time in an only-yatzar-tov wonderland*
*Figuratively and more tickets are available if needed
Yays 🙂
LightbriteParticipantAvram in MD: Thank you!
lesschumras: Yes of course. The question is not if people can live without two sinks or an unkasherable sink.
This is one thing that sparked that thought…
Watching home renovations tv shows where the designer comes in with this “gorgeous” reclaimed barn sink in a kitchen. It’s a selling piece.
—-And thinking to myself… is it really a selling piece? What if the homebuyer keeps kosher and this is just an expensive burden or at the very least it didn’t add value to this particular prospective buyer.
Also thinking of what happens when someone who is frum renovates a house in an area where there are frum Jews and nonJews.
Maybe if the frum seller makes the kitchen appealing for a secular lifestyle with its comprehensive kitchen design choices, then the seller could make a sale on the house to someone who isn’t Jewish.
At the same time, what if the seller has enough evidence to support the possibility that the home could go either way.
-50% chance it’s a frum homebuyer.
-50% chance it’s someone who isn’t Jewish
Does the homeowner have a responsibility to make the house more accommodating for a frum Jewish homeowner?
Why not help create one more frum-friendly kitchen space with one’s home renovation if he or she has the opportunity and can afford it?
Yet it may require more thought and planning, or just someone to pause and ask for a different sink material and a double instead of a singular sink, if the budget can afford the separate plumbing. Maybe the house already had that plumbing done but a previous owner installed one sink.
Anything is possible.
Thank you
LightbriteParticipantUpdate: The chocolate bottle is coated in candy like an M&M.
No melting in hands plus it’s grab-and-go friendly.
Because you cannot eat plastic or glass.
LightbriteParticipantAlso Motivated Grammar:
[Update 07/13: Anndra in the comments noted that Scots use the word beast as the genderless singular of cattle. This reminded me that there is a word that is specific to a bovine animal and is genderless and ageless: neat, as in neatfoot oil. Unfortunately, beast is of limited geographical reach, and neat is archaic, although I might try to adopt one or both into my lexicon all the same.]”
LightbriteParticipantMazal Tov DaMoshe! May you have every blessing and success 🙂
LightbriteParticipantDoes someone who is frum and knows that a double sink and kasherable one makes life easier have a responsibility of making a kosher-friendly space?
Or can one renovate based on interior design trends, hoping to get more bang for the buck regardless of how practical it is for a person who is frum to live.
LightbriteParticipantI don’t need two sinks but I like having that option.
I asked this question because despite the way people got around to living in the past, I wondered if someone who is house flipping needs to think of having a frum homeowner or tenant in mind when renovating a home.
LightbriteParticipantGrass may be greener.
Mods also have to deal with…
People complaining about them
Having to post things that they don’t agree with
Not being able to jump in and counter posts, besides a line here or there, when a poster writes something ridiculous
Discerning what to delete
Reading what we don’t see which is who knows what …. (and I know from my own unposted and removed-by-request posts that some things may be tmi and/or exposing one to content that they may not want to see and/or know about)
People complaining about them
If it is not already there then maybe it should be listed as another:
Thankless job
LightbriteParticipantYafeh maod – Nice they upgraded from tin cans!
LightbriteParticipantYes and no Joseph.
Against Torah yes.
Also non-frum… like a kid saying that he wants to be a long-distance big-rig truck driver and still have a family and learn Torah and keep kosher and etc… but one that as an adult one would question being the way of living Frumkeit.
LightbriteParticipantMaybe the coffee shop internet cafes are a literal and cyber coffee room?
LightbriteParticipantKay thanks Meno —Point made: LU’s response was based on her association from one word to the next.
The OP “not a mod”‘s directions:
“For those who don’t know how this game works, you post the first thing that comes to mind when you see the previous word (or phrase).”
That’s what I did. I’m in defense-mode because no one can tell me what I was thinking and what my next thought should have been.
I was honest. Said what came to mind. The first thing.
Played by the rules. Honestly I don’t have to explain why one thought led to the other.
However, I did so as a courtesy.
In the past, I’ve been told IRL that what I said was “random.” Yet when after I explained the train of thought, then the person sees that there is a connection.
Nothing is random.
So maybe this telephone game can be a lesson in emuna that everything is coordinated by Hashem.
Yepp yepp thank you
LightbriteParticipantwinter
tub’shvat
freezer opens
shidduchim
chasuna
How does Tu B’Shvat go with Freezer opens? Maybe that would relate to winter but that doesn’t technically relate to Tu B’Shvat.
Then there is an even more personalized one with…
Freezer opens and then shidduchim?
LightbriteParticipantyoga
treif (j/k)
Treif is your reaction. It’s subjective. A more linear response could have been exercise. However, it sounds like you viewed it from your lense.
kosher
food
like
love
treif (j/k)
Treif again is subjective. Maybe saying that love is treif because it’s the whole secular romanticism. However, someone else could see love and say Mom or happy, etc.
LightbriteParticipantGlad? Of course 🙂
Yes her nickname was Bar
…I thought that this was a thing like a train of thought where one word ties into the other.
My mind is going in that direction. Bar. Jerusalem. I was in Jerusalem on my bday. Bday of the trees.
I associated Jerusalem with my birthday
Birthday with the Jewish New Year for the Trees which reminds me of a tree birthday because we’re all like trees
…. Telephone happens in our heads. My head goes as such.
If you wanted me to think of what I think you or others would think of next, then that would be several thoughts down the line using logic and not free association.
LightbriteParticipantThe Goq —Lol! Touche 🙂
Do they live at home?
Or… another idea is doing a party with the family and sharing memories and eating food because food = celebration
February 8, 2017 3:22 am at 3:22 am in reply to: Guy who knows everything here; ask me anything #1215256LightbriteParticipantThank you LU … will keep posting and I appreciate your support.
LU +Infinity
LightbriteParticipantNechomah: Hmmm. That’s what I would think (about the wetness being an issue with contact paper.
My countertops are ceramic tile and unkasherable, from what I read online about it.
I have a double sink.
I only eat pareve foods, baruch Hashem.
The right sink doesn’t have a garbage disposal. I rarely/barely use it. If any water goes down it, it’s usually unintentional.
To the right of the right side sink is my dish rack thing for handwashing dishes. Underneath that dishrack and around the joining countertop is contact paper, which is connected to the sink with clear shipping tape. B”H is it holding up.
I wipe up the contact paper when water from clean dishes drips on it.
On the left side, however, is no contact paper, a sink that gets daily use multiple times a day, and also ceramic countertops that get splashed on. —This is the side that I want to seal with contact paper in my quest for having a kosher kitchen.
Maybe I should just try contact paper anyway and use that bath/shower caulking underneath the shipping tape.
LightbriteParticipantShopping613, will you get in trouble for sharing this with us?
Does your teacher know your CR identity?
LightbriteParticipantLU, yes correct and thank you for clarifying.
This really happens.
When someone takes the stolen fruit and plants it directly in the soil. It was not taken for eating but with the intention of planting a tree and more trees.
Imagine a rare fruit.
Just wondering CR opinions.
LightbriteParticipantDepends on how old you all are… Maybe clean the house, make plans for the night outside of the house, and let your parents enjoy the time together alone.
LightbriteParticipantUmmm hello… Cow and Bull.
LightbriteParticipantI remember what it was. If someone steals stalks of wheat.
Then bakes bread. The bread is still assur.
LightbriteParticipantListened to a Torah Anytime shiur yesterday that talked about how you cannot say a bracha on stolen food because it’s assur.
Then today listened to something else for Tu B’Shevat.
Yesterday + Today + Undisclosed Info = This CR Thread
Will ask a shaila (with more detail) but I thought it is for sure assur.
LightbriteParticipantWow. I didn’t know that sinks could be coveted in contact paper. That inspires me to contact paper more kitchen surfaces.
Thank you 🙂
LightbriteParticipantAs in…
The first tree came from the planted stolen fruit.
The next tree comes from the fruit of that tree.
The third tree comes from the fruit of that tree so it is now indirectly stolen.
And so forth generations onward
February 7, 2017 6:53 pm at 6:53 pm in reply to: Guy who knows everything here; ask me anything #1215252LightbriteParticipantI feel really awkward when I post at night and all I see is this vertices strip of recent replies from….

LightbriteParticipantAnd at one point it may have been a lump of coal
LightbriteParticipantThanks LU ?
LightbriteParticipantTechnically that likely means married at 17. Maybe engaged at 16. Both mother and daughter. Assuming pregnancy comes within first months. Some people do that.
LightbriteParticipantYes LU and it’s really helpful that you put spaces between paragraphs. Makes it easier to read 🙂
LightbriteParticipantMeno, sending you a sympathy diamond ?
thank you for sharing
LightbriteParticipantWTP is the same true for one’s Rav and posek?
I hear LU talking about not just trusting anyone. I learned the hard way why it’s not good or healthy to just trust any rabbi, or rebbetzin.
How does one check out a shachan? Rabbi? Posek?
I check put my doctors and therapists to see if they are licensed and/or G-d forbid have complaints against them. Also can find reviews online.
Yet there is no RabbiGrades dot com* or RateYourShadchan dot com* so what does one do besides maybe ask a friend or family?

LightbriteParticipantHas anyone here been hung up on my a telemarketer?
That’s happened to me so often. I start to say “No thank y….” Click. They’ve already moved to the next number.
February 7, 2017 1:31 pm at 1:31 pm in reply to: Guy who knows everything here; ask me anything #1215243LightbriteParticipant!!! I have to see if I have a pic of my old license. My hair used to be another color. I think they put the color if my dyed hair.
They at least know that people change hair colors. Like on TV even when someone is a fugitive they show composites of what the person would look like with various head (men and women) and facial (men) hair styles and colors. —May none of us never be fugitives.
LightbriteParticipantDoes anyone live in a house with an unkashered kitchen sink?
Thanks for the info on the two bins inside the one sink. Didn’t know how people did that.
LightbriteParticipantWhat about people who install those big barn sinks made from porcelain or some unkasherable ceramic?
