I have never met any degree that made money.

On the other hand, I have met humans that made money and make money with a variety of degrees and even no degrees.

Each became a vessel in his or her own way.

Hashem imbued said humans with light and blessings.

That’s not cherry that’s arsenic and toxic.

Please please always remember to remove the apple cores before feeding apples to your children and pets.

The seeds are toxic and in high doses can be lethal for little ones.

rebshidduch: Not bad. Also you can tell yourself that you are dating now and take actions that affirm and assert that you are in fact dating.

Calling the shadchan can be one thing. Think of it as the work needed to get someplace else, which may redirect your focus and reduce the anxiety.

After a brief brunch in Laos, the Artificial Avian Animals arrived in Taiwan only to find their artificially abandoned nests encrusted with rubber cement.

Meanwhile, Juan Javier Jose Julio Jones slipped right through another potential catastrophe. Lubricating himself with banana splits this time, pareve. He was quite giddy for his Eiffel Tower of Kentucky plans were speedily approved with flying colors.

Makes sense. To get to the point of doing for others, one has to do Hashem first. It’s implicitly dependent.

Umm… so this is kind of late, so awkward…

But maybe by “fat fingers,” Avi K meant figuratively.

I just reread that post. It followed the part about kollel wives working and supporting their family and husbands. We learn from Torah that “fat” represents an abundance, such as with the fat cows and thin cows. The fat cows were years of plenty. The thin ones foretold of the famine.

Here, perhaps Avi K meant that the husbands are living via the earnings of their wives as they study. Granted, that’s not to say that their families are raking in dough. Still, it is another interpretation.

Initially I was offended, and it sounds any sweeter to the ears now because the word “fat” has a negative stigma (now that we’re not living in the 1600’s). Even so, maybe this wasn’t a take on one’s physique. Dunno if it makes it better, just thinking.

Still never heard it before. Maybe I can say it to someone else and see what happens. Though I would have to create a scenario.

Have you said it to anyone Randomex?

Thank you for your service Lenny1970.

Yesterday I listened to a TorahAnytime shiur on tochacha. The rabbi said that sometimes silence is golden.

That’s why we have two gates on our mouth. Teeth and lips. He said that in the digital age, lashon hara is more rampant since we don’t have gates on our fingertips.

For the record, I know I have plenty of digital errors. I really hope that I am not being too harsh or blunt with you.

If people weren’t accused of being criminals for having a mental illness, then perhaps more people would feel comfortable disclosing their conditions and get help.

Part of healing is being able to accept oneself and find acceptance in a community. For chronic conditions, it helps for a community to be able to live in peace with individuals who do the best according to their own struggles.

Davidic Dynasty dot org researches Davidic families.

If you think you’re lineage goes back to David HaMelech, you can submit your family tree to them for verification.

They also have a list of last names associated with Davidic lineage. Unfortunately they faimed to put Joseph on the list. Assuming his name is Joseph Joseph.

There are a lot of sweet little Airbnb rentals in/near Jerusalem. Just Googled it and some may be illegal?

I wonder if all of each renter’s reviews are real.

Lenny1970, you said ” Instead of ruling on the Get, which I refused to go along with, the Beis Din ruled along the lines of they were going to seize nearly all my assets; force me to move out of our marital home and have me pay my wife hefty alimony while the divorce was ongoing.” (Lenny1970)

From what I’ve learned, the husband’s neshama in these cases wants to give his wife the Get. Sometimes the husband’s body/mind get in the way. So the rabbis find a way to nudge his body/mind to the side so that the husband really acts on his neshama.

In other words, why wouldn’t the Beis Din care about the Get? You flat out refused and have been resistant from the get-go. More than anything, it sounds like they are trying to help you give the Get on your own accord. It’s up to you whether you will become penniless in the process.

At some point, why not do this for your own sake at least? You don’t have to fight a war at home. Baruch Hashem, Hashem gave you this time to live as a civilian. Honor it. Honor yourself. Why not bring honor to this struggle by offering what your neshama wants?
