January 7, 2018 9:56 pm at 9:56 pm in reply to: Food warmed in a non-kosher microwave assur b’han’ah? #1444296LightbriteParticipant
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).
LightbriteParticipantWow! 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.
January 7, 2018 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm in reply to: Food warmed in a non-kosher microwave assur b’han’ah? #1444293LightbriteParticipantWas the food double wrapped?
LightbriteParticipantDying one’s skin with berries could stain it for a days or more.
Also, Purim is during the spring time. Who wants to be attracting bees and other insects?
January 7, 2018 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm in reply to: Can a scary home smell like fresh baked cookies or bread? #1444306LightbriteParticipantRebYidd23: Either way, news headlines are making a sweeping generalization, ostracizing any Romaine lettuce out there.
*Avoid Romaine Lettuce for Now, Consumer Reports Says* (Consumer Reports)
*Why consumers may want to avoid eating romaine lettuce* (MarketWatch)
*Do not eat romaine lettuce until further notice* (Los Angeles Times)
January 7, 2018 9:54 pm at 9:54 pm in reply to: Keeping Mental Illness A Secret In Shidduchimπ€ π€π€π°π€΅ #1444282LightbriteParticipantRebYidd23: 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?
LightbriteParticipantIt’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.
LightbriteParticipantGross!
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!

I understood what you meant in your original post, so thank you because now I realize that my OP and Title are conflicting Yes or No questions. Sorry about that!
Thanks again π
LightbriteParticipantAww my question was deleted by the Mods!
… okay so a different question: Is it possible for someone’s nefesh to depart from one’s body while he or she is still alive?
LightbriteParticipantRewind… I mean neshamah.
Can someone have a neshamah and then poof, it disappears while the person is still living?
LightbriteParticipantThere 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.
January 7, 2018 8:00 am at 8:00 am in reply to: Can a scary home smell like fresh baked cookies or bread? #1443881LightbriteParticipantI 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
LightbriteParticipantFootball is a sport that encourages concussions, and the denial of the lifelong impacts frequent head injuries.
I do not support sports that promote head trauma.
LightbriteParticipantMalachOfCholent: Smart point! I don’t want braces for the sake of braces, but for their effects.
I want to correct my crossbite, and improve my oral health. Braces, and likely a retainer at night, would help extend the life of my smile, adding an aesthetic benefit to boot! G-d helping.
LightbriteParticipantAt least May 1, 2012… maybe before then you were still in the womb?
LightbriteParticipantJoseph, I agree!
January 3, 2018 11:48 pm at 11:48 pm in reply to: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence #1442572LightbriteParticipantYour title an excellent statement! I used it for the first time today, thanks to you putting it up here π
LightbriteParticipantMaybe students who live in Tag are assigned to a school district in the Five Towns
LightbriteParticipantDovidBT: You totally beat me there; I was thinking a free lifetime supply of car insurance! π
January 1, 2018 10:05 pm at 10:05 pm in reply to: Sharing Your Armrest on the Plane… Amusing Solutions #1440786LightbriteParticipantRebYidd23: Excellent question! I don’t know.
Maybe try a solution from a different article?
January 1, 2018 10:05 pm at 10:05 pm in reply to: Sharing Your Armrest on the Plane… Amusing Solutions #1440787LightbriteParticipantMaybe you can sneeze on the person’s arm and armrest.
LightbriteParticipantSometimes saying the wrong thing is the right thing, because since Hashem put you there to be you, maybe what you said was what he needed you to say.
LightbriteParticipantOmgosh I forgot about homeowner’s insurance!
So you also have to pay taxes on the additional home annually too?
LightbriteParticipantLF, you must be very good at Monopoly π²π²π²π π π’π’
December 31, 2017 11:03 pm at 11:03 pm in reply to: Being unable to say the right thing π€ #1440298LightbriteParticipantGuessing that you’re being vague for a reason…
Knowing the context/situation would help me know how to best respond to your question RebYidd23…
December 31, 2017 9:34 pm at 9:34 pm in reply to: Buying a “Certified Used” cell phone π΄ #1440290LightbriteParticipant2qwerty, 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 π
December 31, 2017 9:07 pm at 9:07 pm in reply to: Buying a “Certified Used” cell phone π΄ #1440259LightbriteParticipantBoost 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! π
Granted, some eBay guys are legit… but yea, I’m not interested in taking the chance in this context of need.
Thanks JJ2020 π
LightbriteParticipantThank you Joseph! βΊ
May you and your family be blessed with sweet revealed good, health, parnassa, nachas, long days, and Hashem’s mercy and goodness and light! π‘π‘π‘

LightbriteParticipantZD: 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?
December 29, 2017 1:02 am at 1:02 am in reply to: Buying a “Certified Used” cell phone π΄ #1439185LightbriteParticipantOops…. I meant “certified pre-owned”
December 29, 2017 1:02 am at 1:02 am in reply to: Buying a “Certified Used” cell phone π΄ #1439187LightbriteParticipantAnd I just bought a new old phone… b’esrat Hashem it’ll all be sweet good and wonderful!
Thanks βΊ

LightbriteParticipantThanks everyone! π
December 28, 2017 12:26 am at 12:26 am in reply to: FAST APPROACHING: The End of Secularism in Israel #1438511LightbriteParticipantHow is a prediction a fact?
LightbriteParticipantToday, I asked the guy working at a bank if he goes to a synagogue… he had orangey hair and wore dark rimmed glasses… looked like a guy at the shul that I went to during Rosh Hashanah.. don’t think that he was even Jewish!… twas an awkward moment
LightbriteParticipantA CD left out of its container can technically be in a boom box.
LightbriteParticipantSome men leave caps off their toothpastes, but of that cap off is an issue, then hopefully a husband and wife can afford to have their own personal toothpaste tubes
LightbriteParticipantOoops sorry everyone… I thought I posted to LU in the lashon hara thread… please disregard my last post… thank you βΊ
LightbriteParticipantED 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.
LightbriteParticipantWell, 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.
LightbriteParticipantLU: If you G-d forbid speak lashon hara about yourself, then doesn’t that put others at risk of speaking lashon hara about you too…. and thus assur?

December 24, 2017 5:33 am at 5:33 am in reply to: Explaining to girls that only boys light the Chanukah Menorah #1434286LightbriteParticipantBack in the day, my Chabad rabbi gave me a Chanukiah and candles to light on Chanukah. I am a woman.
December 24, 2017 5:33 am at 5:33 am in reply to: Explaining to girls that only boys light the Chanukah Menorah #1434287LightbriteParticipantWhat happens at elementary schools before Chanukah?… Children don’t make Chanukiot craft projects?
LightbriteParticipantIf he’s a child, then he’s a child.
If he’s an adult, then he’s an adult.
What was the question?
There are no bad people, only people who make bad choices, such as eating relish-flavored ice cream on an empty stomach, followed by three additional full courses, topped with blooming onions and tangerines.
December 21, 2017 8:38 pm at 8:38 pm in reply to: Would you try kosher locust protein powder? (FOOD TECH) #1433513LightbriteParticipantSo those four types of locusts are only kosher to a minority of Jews?
December 21, 2017 8:38 pm at 8:38 pm in reply to: Would you try kosher locust protein powder? (FOOD TECH) #1433512LightbriteParticipantAvram in MD: Oh yea! Thank you; I forgot that fish are parev! Good point.
