I have 20 year old hangers, easily. Some of them are from the house I grew up in back in the day.
It was still funny, how you said it.
Maybe the Mods use their email accounts to communicate with each other, the editor, and/or additional YWN peeps
Thanks TM 🙂
Why don’t people just use table-colored tissues?

DY, don’t risk your hair to save me.
The CR can’t touch me.
I’m a direct descendant of Yosef ha Tzaddik.
We shouldn’t use nail clippers to trim our nails because once when someone used nail clippers, she broke her arm after tripping over the sofa.
We should stop wearing blue because it hasn’t been confirmed that wearing blue makes you fall down steps, chas v’shalom.
USB so you can upload to your computer and later burn onto DVDs if you want. But why would you do that?
You can share them to family via emails, or upload them to Facebook or Youtube.
If you do DVDs, then you’ll have to stick it in your computer, copy into a folder or your desktop, and maybe covert the file into something shareable.

Like an Apple computer, Macintosh.
My friends with Macs have like no ads ever. It was the weirdest thing to “surf the internet” (if people use that saying anymore).
Pages just opened quickly. No pop ups. No random flash errors or etc. My friend said that it was a Mac thing. They are better protected from all the junk stuff that pops up.
I’m guessing that you have a filter.
Still, was wondering if maybe you also happened to have an Apple Macintosh computer, versus a PC (Personal Computer).
PCs are computers or laptops by various manufacturers, such as Toshiba, Sony, Dell, Acer, etc.
Macs use different programing or software compared to PCs.
Maybe a CR addict thinks he’s Eliyahu HaNavi?
LU, thanks for teaching me about tefilas zaka. I didn’t know that there was a special term. Very kind <3
I know that neither of you are apikorus.
Not all shuls have tables also. Some just have rows of chairs. Plus the trashcans are in the kitchenette area. So it’s inconvenient to toss them out right away.

IME (female version of blazers and dress pants… yes I know pants are not tznius)…
Suits make it difficult to move quickly.
Blazers make it difficult to raise arms up high.
Do better quality suits allow for a better range of movement in their fabric?
Looking forward to seeing you two before Yom Kippur!
Or depending on your hashkafah, maybe before Rosh Hashanah 🙂
I am done here. This CR stuff gets exhausting sometimes! But it’s fun too.
Awww. Sorry I didn’t think of the issue that it may be inappropriate to have a woman talk to him.
I think it was nice of you to express your desires, which is a calling to HKBH in a way too. Though I am guessing that you stopped for a good reason, so thank you for explaining where you are coming from here.
Well… I want to give you a bracha MRS PLONY to always have sweet parnassah that allows you to give to your family generously and yourself and to your community and outward. I know that your family is #1 when it comes to chesed. So it shows a lot that you are prioritizing their needs, which is not easy when someone comes in and there is pressure to give.
May you always have good health, nachas, and every blessing and may you always enjoy your blessings.

Lol! I actually wrote a post about how I was thinking about Health! B/c I learned of a CPR training this Sunday.
But mentioning it here was out of place and so well I deleted it and there you go
DY +1 again 🙂
So interesting that this happened!
Well for the sake of anyone who has gotten into an emotional argument with triggers that take that person back to witnessing something traumatic, words may not flow eloquently here.
By forcing him to relive that experience, why? So you can tell him that he is wrong and you are right?
I don’t get this thread. I think it’s staging a situation so you can say that Hey, he did say not to listen to halacha.
Why make him go back there? He told us that he saw something questionable. Witnessed it. With his eyes mind brain. Imagine holding that information. So now you are pushing him even more.
The brain is stressed. The body stressed. The parts of the brain used for logical arguments are now put on hold to defend for life. To me it sounded like ZD was in that mode. Maybe defending it here because he is still having his buttons shoved by post after post.
If the molestation is a strawman issue. Fine. Then. Make a new thread about something else. Unemotional.
Such as purple raincoats.
If Hashem said no purple raincoats and it was raining and the only raincoat in sight was purple, ZD would you wear it?
What’s better?

SL: LU was telling us her story of how she learned how to communicate honestly with her mother about her pain.
LU told us that she was miserable for 2 years at a mis-matched school. Yet since she was a good girl, she kept her misery to herself until finally one day she burst out crying when the school’s yearly planner arrived in their mail.
LU was surprised that all she had to do was cry and the world, her mother, would listen.
It was a powerful story to share with JA,for it allowed JA to see that maybe she can also tell her parents how she feels, and her parents maybe will see that JA is a good girl who happens to be in the wrong school.
Based on LU’s stories, and some of my projecting, I think LU was taught that holding back her feelings was what a “good girl” does. A “good girl” does not think about her own needs and just swallows whatever she is told is good for her.
At some point LU realized that she needed to be for herself, “Im lo ani li, mi li?”
There is nothing manipulative here. LU was crying from the heart. Because she was in true pain. It took a lot for her to get to that place of letting someone else see her tears.
I did research and study it in university. I also had to weigh it out for myself as a dog parent too.
When you are responsible for someone else’s life, it can be terrifying to make a decision when you read that one in millions may be hurt by this vaccine. Yet we don’t the other factors or those fluke cases. I realized that doing nothing was exposing my dog to present dangers.
A couple months ago I got a flu vaccine at my PCP. The last time I got the vaccine, it was thermisol-free (mercury-free) and paid for by my university. This time it was only covered at my doctor’s office and they only had the vaccine with thermisol, which is a preservative.
I asked her if she would take the vaccine if she was in my position. She said that she already did. Same one. “Really!?” “Yes I have a baby boy at home,” she explained. And he is going to get vaccinated? “Of course.”
Herd immunity. Look it up. It’s true that the people who don’t vaccine by choice put the lives of those who cannot vaccinate, because either their infants are not old enough or children have other health issues at the time, in danger.
Thanks LU. But who really doesn’t understand what she is saying? There is a difference between someone taking a little longer to process and comprehend versus speaking another language entirely.
Yes honestly someone is coming to us in tears and we’re barking at her to speak more clearly.
She’s dealing with stuff! Gosh. You want her to take what she wrote and then spend how much time editing it, while she is in school and likely has homework to do as well. Plus she’s struggling with her parents and school teachers.
Even if it takes us a little more time to read it, isn’t it better to welcome the person and do the translation ourselves then make more hoops for her to get some help?
We can model by example by writing and communicating effectively, with proper English grammar and pronunciation. When and if she is ready, then she can reciprocate.
There is no use adding to her burdens when all she wanted was some help. She told us that she is sensitive to criticism already. I believe her.
For the record, I am speaking from experience. I know it is hard not to give when you want to and want to help. Remember that you have more than just money. Remember that even money comes from blessings.
When I was in Jerusalem, I gave the guy selling red strings a bracha.
I asked Hashem to give him parnassah. Then I asked Hashem to give him nachas. Then he told me that he needed a kallah, so I asked Hashem to give him a kallah.
He said “Amen.” and “Amen.” and “Amen.”
That moment of eye contact and blessings, that is what I had to give that day.
MRS PLONY: I would have probably done the same thing, of not bringing him a bigger bill asking to make change.
Have you tried giving someone a bracha?
He comes to the door. You can apologize for not having a dollar bill, ask if he wants a quarter (up to him to say yes or no), and give him a bracha.
(Maybe offer something to eat, like a muffin or cookie, or bottle of water… if you can, and if not move on to the bracha).
And give him a bracha. A good bracha. Ask the man what he needs. And Ask Hashem to give to him generously and let him receive it. Let him say, “Amen.”
Allow him to feel renewed and glad that he knocked on your door.
—Your bracha is powerful.—-
That’s a good point mik5 – the “other meanings” (mik5)
Especially during the Middle Ages, when people used to live under the nobility.
“A king (or lord) ruled large areas of land. To protect his land from invasion, the king gave parts of it to local lords, who were called vassals. In return, his vassals promised to fight to defend the king’s land.” (Middle Ages dot net, on Google search page of “king lord middle ages”)
…Which is how we got the word, “landlord.” Wow. Didn’t put it together until now.
ZD: Sounds like another battle that we don’t need here.
In my humble opinion, it’s better to make this a welcome place for her to communicate. I don’t want to impose another barrier. We get what she is saying. It’s still English.
I don’t think she needs another adult telling her that she’s not measuring up, you know?
She’s good and reaching out to us for help.
Thanks for bringing our awareness on choosing our battles wisely.
