What if wives don’t prepare their meals?
How do these honorary subtitles get bestowed?
Ooops I forgot that clowns are actually in style right now and unfortunately they are the creepy ones. So rewind and let’s pretend that I never said that.
Starting new:
“Would people still wear regular shoes? “
If they lived on an island, they didn’t wear regular shoes to begin with.
If they lived on the mainland, then yes they would wear regular shoes, but only at simchas. Unless you are what’s her name in The Wizard of Oz, because then you would only wear red shoes so long as they sparkled.
minyan gal: In my dreams I am your son-in-law
?????? ??? ????????? – Yay!!! No quotes = Success 🙂
WinnieThePooh: Thanks Webster 🙂
Emuna… only fear Hashem

I don’t remember for sure. I think I googled something last night and then it linked to this page. Or maybe I searched the CR for shidduchim and found this one.
RebYidd23: The whole kugel in a cupcake idea could be pretty too. Maybe even with frosting.
Mmmmm… lilmod ulelamid: Is the potato kugel sweet? savory? Maybe with vanilla cream frosting and sprinkles on top?
Canada is monitoring its borders
lilmod ulelamaid: Yay thank you!!!!
Is it better to be a toad?
Abba_S: “The last thing I need is the IBT (International Brotherhood of Thumb Suckers) picketing outside my house so try not to publicize it.”
If only more people thought like you before they spoke! Last year two families on my block were picketed by IBT. It was horrible. They blocked traffic all morning. I had to leave an hour earlier just to drop off the babies at preshiva (pre-K yeshiva, a step and a half above nursery school).
IBT is notorious for its lifesize baby billboards with derogatory messages such as, “Don’t oppose opposable thumbs,” and “My finger my mouth are none ya beeswax.”
Again, wise very wise of you.
What about a marzipan version of a dairy food? Like instead of milk chocolate filled with milk chocolate, dark chocolate filled with marzipan?
RebYidd23: This thread is the only result for “the Yiddish word for frog is jabba” specifically
lilmod ulelamaid: Than rugelach? What kind of kugel are you eating?
It’s good if you prefer kugel because that leaves more rugelach for the taking… seriously though, even if it was soft warm chocolate or raspberry rugelach fresh from the bakery?
“That said this time I did vote, so I can tell my kids if R”l The Donald gets elected and my kids asked me what I did to stop it I can tell them I tried.”
ubiquitin: Amen. Me too!
Maybe being a clown would go back in style
Bump
Alas… I drink no coffee. Are the moderators makpid on this coffee-drinking-imperative CR halacha?
I. M. Shluffin: Yay now this thread is getting closer to being about rugelach!
That’s such a cute idea. Personal-size kugels
The pen doubles as a pacifier so no I am not concerned for his safety. Though I appreciate your concern.
The invisible ink is visible under a blacklight. Both script and block letters are impeccable.
This thread was originally about erasers and getting a hechsher for eraser chewers. I hope it’s not about cannibalism because that’s so unkosher.
Such a smart thing to do! Once I was at a Rosh Chodesh and a lady said something really mean to me in front of everyone. It was insensitive and I don’t remember exactly what it was, but she was almost oblivious about it. The rebbetzin just stared speechless.
I didn’t respond, not because I was being intentionally polite, but I too was speechless. Afterward the rebbetzin complimented me on how I remained calm (again I was stunned and had no words). That alone did make me feel good(!) It def would have been a cool moment for someone to ask for a bracha.
Again… good, actually great to know.
A+ for implementing Torah into action 🙂
My former Jewish Studies professor literally told the entire class that women are superior biologically. Because they generally have more body fat than men, that’s why so many women were able to survive the Holocaust.
Granted I dunno whether or not more women survived than men. If so, then also the cause of “why” may be a speculation or partially causative, perhaps.
lilmod ulelamaid: Language-wise… personally I did not take your message as saying anything less than neutral about women. Thanks for explaining on the record just in case 🙂
Are we allowed to be in the CR if we don’t drink coffee?
You want the kallah and chasson rocking Crocs under the chuppah?
“there is an inyan to ask someone for a bracha if they were insulted and held themselves back from responding”
Really? I feel like it would be our job to give that person a bracha. Then again, acknowledging the person’s courage and discipline by asking for a bracha gives him or her honor, so that also makes sense.
Thank you. Good to know if I ever come across this again
With this thread, the pareve thread, and the ice cream sandwich cookie thread… am I the only one who has been craving ice cream for days now?
Abba_S: Both of course
The invisible ink is made from translucent berries; it’s safe and digestible for babies. Ironically it makes most adults sick.
-: “Immersion is only needed if they are owned by a Jew. Utensils that require immersion but haven’t been, cannot be eaten from directly but don’t make the food unkosher.”
News to me! I thought every kli had to be immersed. Thank you.
BigGolem: Based on some threads here, it feels like parallel conversations about perceived messages that may have not been said by the person one is responding to in his or her message.
…So yes in this earth and even in this language there are communication barriers
When I was a kid my family took a vacation to Florida. We lived up north and it was a special treat. It rained the whole time. Mosquitoes everywhere. It was still way worth it.
It’s the adventure and bonding that makes the experience. So even if the eclipse happens to be hidden that day, maybe they will have a good story to tell in the future.
Sometimes we plan and Hashem laughs right>?
I think people feel more responsible for children and their potential to grow in Yiddishkeit. Their parents, teachers, and community may feel more invested in them than the regular adult who has a mind of his or her own.
“Well it depends where ya livin ”
How so?
Question please: Do the ice cream scoopers not need to be immersed in a mikvah with a bracha before use?
~Assuming that they are metal
Ummm… I remember not being allowed to view a solar eclipse when I was in elementary school. We took paper plates and wrapped them in aluminum foil, in some way that allowed us to see a mirror image of the eclipse safely.
According to my memory of my teacher’s words, looking at an actual solar eclipse can be blinding.
Sorry to be a wet rag on the flame … maybe my memory is incorrect and a quick online search will show that it’s indeed safe?
iacisrmma: Wow all this time I was picturing the kind with chocolate chip cookies! Suddenly this thread makes more sense.
They are kind of like soggy Kedem tea biscuits.
What do women do in Gan Eden?
Hopefully speak the same language as everyone else
lilmod ulelamaid: “I didn’t want to explain that I was having an argument with someone in the Coffee Room…”
Lol! I was talking to a friend about the pareve thread today. It’s so funny how the CR spills into my daily life. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one 🙂
+1 for you too
WinnieThePooh: I can help finish other people’s pieces if you want
I don’t let babies use erasers. You’re right it’s dangerous. That’s why I only allow babies to write with pens that use invisible ink.
It’s possible to pretend to be smarter than one is… Like when one twin takes a test for another twin who wasn’t as prepared for the test.
Or if a seventh-grade sibling does a first-grade sibling’s homework.
Little Froggie could really be Big Froggie giving Little Froggie the credit.
Though that’s technically fraud.
You’re talking about something else.
What about someone who has a dissociative disorder and speaks from one psyche at times (with profound intelligence), while mostly living from a less cognitively developed part most of the time?
lilmod ulelamaid: Agreed.
I haven’t seen a full-on troll here or know what it would look like, baruch Hashem.
I think on other websites, the most “trolly” thing that I can think of is when someone posts on a forum and then someone says, “Oh I had the same problem and then I took some _________ and it solved it magically and coincidentally there is a great sale on _________ just click here.” Ohhh wait, maybe that’s a robot?
Well… a troll is here for kicks I think and stirs up people for no reason other than personal amusement at the person’s response. Actually I think I did come across something trollish a while ago and then realized that the best thing to do was disengage (which worked).
I feel like a faker sometimes because I come on here and am all baal teshuva, and then during the day I don’t always feel that way. Honestly though, thank G-d for the CR because it’s helped me be more confident and accepting of my current place. Instead of criticizing myself for where I am lacking, CR has helped me realize that there are so many places where I can grow and stay close. So I’ve been doing more because of spending more time being connected.
“I’m wondering about the DE thing. If something is DE, does it have to be Cholov Yisroel for people who are makpid on Cholov Yisroel?”
lilmod ulelamaid: That’s such a good question!
DaasYochid: Does that mean that there is such a thing as Cholov-Yisroel-DE?
RedQuest: Prob best to ask your LOR. Sorry to ruin the ice cream party by suggesting caution.
At least, I would ask my LOR just in case the non-kosher scoopers are washed with the kosher scoopers in a dishwasher, etc.
