Still crickets?
Maybe we can convince them to post by giving then an anacha on a kosher vacation, a free night out with babysitter included, and/or a Roomba.
Yes Grey Poupon! 🙂
Joseph who is the black sheep of your usernames, what makes him that and how do your other personas treat him?
Is this the first time a sheep posted in the CR?
Lol good joke ahron*
*Laughing at your joke anyway. It’s just invisible.
Sigh 🙁 Sorry
The opposite of love is indifference.
Abba_S: Because the emotional connection and feelings are/were so strong. Maybe also denial. So many other qualities were great. Which made it hard to turn away based on reality.
FuturePOTUS: Wisdom.
golfer: Thanks for correcting my typo 🙂
7-month old thread
Mik5: Would he have to eat at home within 70min then?
7yo thread
Did you read the peanut shaver thread?
I know someone who has a sheep farm. She’s Jewish. I don’t know if any of her sheep are black. If so, she probably treats them the same as her other sheep. They wear sweaters. And sleep in the barn.
Health: These are from commercials that I heard/watched incessantly in the 90’s growing up. They are embedded in my memories of youth.
I mentioned them because LU is close to the same age as I am and figured that she may be familiar with them as well.
I did not have cable growing up. If I did, that may have changed things.
Either way, depending on your background and years of watching, your tv commercial memory bank may have different brands and jingles.
When saying brachas, are we supposed to be louder than davening?
I like whispering brachas. Some people I noticed are more vocal and deliberate about it. In turn that gives anyone near him the opportunity to say Amen.
But I like mumbling it almost. It’s between me and Hashem and I don’t want to blast out to the world that I am taking my first sip or bite. Is that because I am a woman and it is more modest for me to do it this way?

Omgosh they had the yummiest looking sufganyot at the mall today!
Some had these chocolate caramel looking candy sticks sticking out of the frosting.
They were very fancy.
Ahron: +1
LU: You are never doomed.
You may, however, be prone to knowing how to finish these lines:
It’s shake n bake, and I…..
Break me off a piece,….
Easy breezy beautiful….
If you’re good to your car,…..
Trix are for….
I feel like _______ tonight
The best part of waking up,….
They’re Grrrre____! [cereal]
Snap, crackle, and….
Pardon me, would you have any…..?
B”H your husband will find this knowledge quite endearing.
Joseph: Possible explanations…
Maybe they take morning vitamins and would literally puke if they didn’t eat anything*.
*True story. I now know that I must take my vitamins with food. Or else.
Eating may also be applicable for anyone taking meds.
The person may also be diabetic and someone at shul always B”H leaves out some special diabetic cookies and cakes. You just don’t know about it.
Maybe Shabbos Shachris davening is longer and/or they won’t have time to eat if they wait.
Maybe they had a little too much wine erev Shabbos and they need to eat something just to make it through the morning.
Cake and cookies are full of sugar. Sugar can be addicting. Maybe it’s too tempting to walk by without sneaking a bite.
Some people need to eat something in the morning. Esp of they walked a distance to shul. Perhaps they basically just worked out and their body needs sustenance. It’s not the same as waking up and five minutes later walking across the street to shul, where a man davens within half an hour of waking.
Furthermore, the pedestrian commute to shul doesn’t account for the additional time it takes to look presentable on Shabbos and maybe round up the mishpacha or part with a spouse before heading off.
It could have been hours since they first got up in the morning.
That’s a different situation and nisayon compared to the person strolling in to daven ten minutes after waking up who may not even be hungry yet.
Does approaching marriage from a logical perspective make it more or less vulnerable to be founded on conditional love?
I wonder if one or both spouses would be disappointed and lose interest if theor expectations aren’t fulfilled.
For example, marrying…
*A kollel guy who later wants to work
*A skinny woman who gains weight after having children
*A very neat and organized person who becomes less organized around the house [which could be due to married stresses and time restraints]
*Someone to have children but the spouse is sterile
*Someone on a high level of frumkeit who later goes otd
*A good cook who stops cooking
*Someone with similar athletic interests but later is injured and can no longer join the spouse
I imagine any of these scenarios being more of an issue if someone didn’t come into marriage with an emotional connection.
The logical point of view, imho (btw I always mean “In/in my humble opinion” when I say IMHO or imho), sometimes sounds like it is more of a business deal.
But… I do think it works for some people and real love and emotional connection comes afterward.
Thing is that for me, before and currently, the CR has helped and helps me a lot. To grow as a person.
The person I was when I first started posting is a lot more confident today, in speaking my mind and growing in Yiddishkeit, thanks to the CR and CR posters.

LU: Honor yourself so you can honor Hashem ?
If it’s not good for you then def do what is best for you. Your presence here will still be felt through your former posts. New posters hopefully will find strength in them too.
Sometimes we are someplace for a reason and when it’s time we have someplace else to be. You are always welcome here now and in the future.
Awwww. You’ll be missed.
I’ve considered too. Seriously. For me to invest more time seeking community and acceptance IRL.
Awww that must have been so hard for them to cope and go public. Sending them blessings.
Interesting because aren’t there Jews in EY who aren’t frum/DL/etc but wear kippot too?
Or is it that they’re just more casual?
I feel like in the US, I associate kippah with frum. Here in EY it seems like there are more variations. From kippot to tefillin, one mitzvah or indicator doesn’t necessarily mean mskpid on the others.
Health: +1
The song reference is great too!
Thanks for the info!
Health: There is a video online where a dog collapses and the doggie parent does the pushing on the chest. Mamash several minutes later he gets up. So amazing.
Though having children changes things. They eat treats. So maybe people end up giving up ideals to gain a partner and give back to him or her.
In addition to an emotional connection, I want to have someone who cares about and actively works on being healthy. Not extreme.
Yes the… Emotional connection (attraction and being able to communicate and relate and feel safe with the perso) for me is also a must.
Yet to get to the point of Abba_S’s “can you spend the rest of your life with your date then take the plunge and get married,” I can’t “see” myself living with junk food and alcohol in the house for the rest of my life.
What’s that? A lifestyle connection? A lifestyle/values/priorities mismatch wears away at an emotional connection.
Maybe having those in line is enough to Kindle an emotional connection in marriage.
Mod-42’s ideal weight according to Health Status is 241 lbs. And her recommended weight range is from 214 to 268 pounds.
Health Status did not take into account that she was babysitting her 12 yr old cousin, who she happened to be carrying piggy back due to an injury.
He is 6’4″ and 249lbs and is in the Junior Olympics.
That puts Mod-42 at a healthy weight.
Fine we will just explain to Mod-42 that we cannot promise that Health will wear braids for her. If anything he at least will bring home braided challah every week.
I searched in *Speakers* section. Typed *Rosen* and scrolled down to Rabbi Elyakim Rosenblatt.
When I searched in the main/general search, it came up empty.
Still there though via Speakers B”H 🙂
Still there for me. With 410 shiurs. Most recent post on TorahAnytime was his Chassidic Gems on Dec. 12, 2016
Crickets in the married section
What about the minhag of going to kosher restaurants on Christmas?
What does Rashi say about giving someone a kosher restaurant gift card for Channukah?
#3. Feet next to each other could mean the following…
*Ankles touching
*Heels and ankles touching
*Feet standing parallel at two fists distance (width of hips)
*Feet standing parallel wider than two fists
*Two outer sides of the feet touching, with one leg crossed in front of the other leg
There is a way to step forward and back in each case, in a spacious shul with roomy seating
We really don’t know if the person is unconscious or not.
If the person is really on the street then he or she may be in danger of passing vehicles. Esp cars and trucks.
So if the person can move, that would be helpful. It could be someone who is high or in another mental state that will take instruction to move.
If the person is not moving or responding then some protective barrier should be arranged to divert traffic from the vulnerable person and make a way for emergency responders to arrive to the scene.
Can you make eye contact and do a head nod, to acknowledge someone walking into shul or leaving, while davening?
Who is Ubiq? Is this a poster’s comeback in another username?
I think Joseph did a shout out on another thread.
mw13: Why not give it thought? The thoughts, information, and considerations here may still be applicable IRL.
Also for you this may have been made up, but unfortunately some posters may have seen or heard about something like this happening in IRL.
They may have not had the luxury of distance, time, and deliberation to reflect on all the nitty gritty details.
If something like this happens cv”s in the future, posters may now be better equipped because of this thread.
Anything is possible. Maybe Hashem
motivated you to create this thread for a good reason.
