    At Disney World, they sell kosher meals that are pre-packaged and double-wrapped before they are microwaved.

    Though, I’m unsure whether the food is cooked in a kosher microwave or not (fleishig or milchig).

    Wow! I thought that this thread was deleted. Thank you Mods!

    Interesting because I was listening to a lecture today, by a scholar who is Jewish – though not a Jewish scholar, who said that indeed Hashem spells out rewards and punishments for Jews who observe Torah or do not.

    RebYidd23: Either way, news headlines are making a sweeping generalization, ostracizing any Romaine lettuce out there.

    RebYidd23: You said, “Nothing should be kept secret in shidduchim” (RebYidd23).

    Can one omit information, without it being a “secret,” such as someone who is treated with laser hair removal?

    It’s not so much fun when it’s a family members hair (or mine!), but if it was my mom’s hair or something, I’d get grossed out, toss out the portion attached to the food, and then move on to another serving.

    I’m really lucky that my family still ate my food, even when sometimes a hair would end up in a cookie or something.

    I always made sure to put my hair in a ponytail, but having my hair up wasn’t always a 100% certainty of hair-free baked goods. Thankfully, hair in food happened rarely.

    Gross!

    Once I bought a 16oz. transparent bag of raw cashews from this discount grocery store. The cashews were packaged overseas.

    I come home and look at the sealed bag, only to see a thick 1.5-inch straight black hair staring at me.

    I lost my appetite and returned the cashews.

    That hair still haunts me!

    There are cases where people stop smoking, and never turn back.

    I ended up telling the shadchanit that I didn’t want to be paired with a smoker. She was very receptive to my needs –Baruch Hashem, what a relief!

    RebYidd23: Of course someone who smokes or quit smoking deserves happiness. Some people don’t mind, but since I do, it would not make sense for a former or current smoker and I to be paired up.

    I didn’t ask the question correctly.

    Can you walk into a home and be initially terrified when the home smells like fresh baked cookies or bread?

    …Hansel and Gretel were not scared of the gingerbread house, with a cookie roof, when they approached it. They found it alluring. Even afterm the witch was killed, Hansel and Gretel stayed around to eat the house

    2qwerty, so you bought yours used too?

    My one year old phone is having charging issues. I bought the right piece to replace it, only to have skimmed the screw with the little screwdriver they gave me. The original screw is at a alight angle.

    To unscrew the messed up screw, I then tried to hammer it in for a second, which didn’t help.

    tried the rubber band trick; it didn’t work. Then I tried the super gluing the screwdriver to the screw trick, but ended up super gluing the screw to the plastic base.

    The flat head screw driver didn’t work either.

    Only thing that I didn’t try is a skimmed screw screw driver, if they even come that small.

    Anyway, now it’s pretty much screwed shut.

    … so you’re content, satisfied with your used phone?

    Thanks for your input πŸ™‚

    Boost Mobile certifying a Samsung phone. I have 7 days to return it, if need be. Hmm… yes, if Samsung certified it, then maybe I’d have more assurance. At least it’s not some guy on eBay! πŸ™‚

    ZD: I thought that going against the law and/or putting others lives in danger (by blocking emergency responders, including medics and firefighters, access to a building in G-d forbid an emergency) would negate any attempt at performing a mitzvah.

    Doesn’t this mitzvah committed in sin negate performing a real mitzvah?

    What if it’s one’s ego to be a minyan hero to your peers, but to Hashem making it to minyan wasn’t noble when it came at such an expense?

    ED IT OR can also be right.

    Winning the election in 2016 was like the engagement.

    Trump’s 2017 inauguration was like his wedding.

    If he won the marriage to the US, then it wasn’t officially consumated until 2017. Sealing the deal was the real victory.

    Well, you both are right.

    CTLAWYER is right in that he won the election in 2016.

    Even so, another interpretation is that the election was a sign of Trump winning, but it wasn’t official (something could have happened in between) until his inauguration in 2017.
