Can we stop beating this dead horse?
I got the following advice from a professional home inspector: Front loading washers are <high percentage> more efficient than top loaders. He mentioned that he has an LG model that is extremely quiet.
I have a cousin named Glidah. Chassidish family. I think she was named after someone Gedaliah. She is married to a Chassidish man. The most-far-out I’ve heard recently, is my neighbor who is more Mizrachi, named their BOY who was born on or around Tu Bishvat “Shkaydiah Porach(at)” I predict years of therapy for that one!
BrooklynBuff, are you an “ambulance chaser?” 🙂
What do you call someone else’s cheese?
Nacho cheese!
bpt: How many people here know what a “pisk” is? But you touch on an excellent point, tznius is the way you act, and a fresh mouth (pisk == mouth) is NOT tznius.
ahh, yes! The new uniform shall be mumus/tents. Each school will have the logo scattered about. One size fits all! This takes care of the ‘tznius’ problem, clothing price problem…..
Over the weekend we received a newsletter from my boys’ Yeshiva. Among the articles within, I was pleased to see that they are educating the middle grades (6-8 grades) about the dangers of smoking.

Kesuba does not need to be Lishma like the “other” document.
mod-42: I’m more for a Clydesdale. Something about those “white boots.”
;
…should have kept true to the tribe, in all senses!!
…weeks after Pesach someone near my shver’s table has to say “Morid Hatal” (Succos — “Morid Hageshem”). I say, depending on the situation, why don’t you randomly say out loud the words you are up to? Perhaps then the message will be received.

When my oldest was under 3, he wouldn’t take medicine. He figured out when we tried to hide it in his food/snack. One time we asked the doctor if there was “a needle” for it. Apparently there is. Seems like he preferred the needle. Also, it is a one-time deal as opposed to a week of forcing medicine down his throat, so it’s win-win.

The gemara Ksubos says that a besula goes to the chupa with her hair uncovered. This is how they can prove she deserves the full 200 kesuba, should the need arise.
APY: thanks for catching that! But what’s wrong with ‘Der Alter Rebbe’ [Ba’al Hatanya?] or the entire line of Gerrer Rebbes?
;
canine: some chassidim put on a shaitel after the chuppah. I had an early wedding with a sheva brochos that evening. My Rav who is a respected Talmid Chochom in Flatbush, said my wife does not need to cover her hair before going to the sheva brochos.
How do you know the church didn’t copy us? Would you say that “Es biti nasati la’ish hazeh” is also a church thing or perhaps the ‘father of the bride’ takes her to the ‘alter’ comes from us?
;
Pac-Man: The letzanus here is all the posters who never learned K’subos passing off their Boich Svoros as Torah MiSinai. I bet most posters so far don’t know about the Kallah going to the Chupah (of her first marriage) with her hair uncovered. Another thing is that on many things the church copied us, not the other way around.

Befairush! Look it up.

AYC: perhaps the ‘P’ is for purgatory.
HIE: A lot of trig, especially on the high school level, can be broken down to sin() Cos(), and then just remember SoaCahToa.
Details to follow on request

HIE:
I hope you got it!
A couple of things: Yeshivas curricula (plural for curriculum) are guided by their Rosh(ei) Yeshiva.
Second, trigonometry in particular is used in a couple of Mesechtos in Shas and is elaborated on in Tosfos. Day-to-day things like Sh’kia use trig. If the mods don’t allow posting email addresses, how about posting your trig or other math questions and some of us math people will gladly answer. I aced Math 3 and did very well in PreCal Cal 1 & 2 and other advanced math classes.

The Misnagdim aka the Anti-Chassidim. Lehavdil, it takes and Anti-XYZ to strengthen your attachment to XYZ. Besides, it will probably drive them crazy.
;
HIE: sounds like you want to be a “Tzadik in Peltz.” Do a little research and find out what the Tanaim, Amoraim did for a living. Hint: many of them were not “in Kollel.”

I am a honey spring!

It is nosy of them but it’s all out in the open. I say, why not have fun with it where you can. Pretend you’re talking on your cell phone. Interrupt your conversation (change topics) and say, “what’s THIS GUY staring at? People can’t mind their own business?” Perhaps they’ll get the message.
;
Clairvoyant’s point is right-on! As per requirements, there were no errors or bugs. Additionally, suppose one were to assume that the husband knew to buy eggs if they had, does he buy 6 eggs or 6 dozen? The proper response in this case, is for the husband to send back the spec for clarification and official sign-off.

How about the seminary girls/ BM boys “teach” for the few days before any Y”T. The teachers can get off, the girls / boys can gain experience (teaching/organizing/leading). It should be like having a substitute for a week. They can say stories play games etc.

Sweet Choice, Ave L between Nostrand and E31.
Let’s see, Friday afternoon, Shabbos lunch and today for lunch.
..simply, I used to see a single guy in one of the minyanim I daven and I tried to match him up with a girl I thought was appropriate. So you’re actually helping yourself and others. HELPS SOLVE THE SHIDDUCH CRISIS (CR old-timers will get this one). This guy is now married (not to someone I set up, but maybe someone else in shul did?).

..everyone should stop eating gebrochts..
I agree, I don’t know about other people, but I personally don’t like vomit…..oh, my mistake, you probably mean geBROKTs. Carry on…

Mordechai Schmutter talks about it briefly, in his book on Pesach, “Don’t yell Challah in a Crowded Matzah Bakery”
I grew up in Boro Park. The honking is not as common as you are implying. Perhaps it’s your dangerous actions that cause other drivers (Boro Parkers or not) to honk at you!

PS I don’t live in BP anymore but I come back a lot to visit family.
PBA: Rav Yankel Miller says that badchanus is simcha. Letzunis is strictly prohibited as brought down in Rabeinu YOna. He personally gears his badchanus towards being mesamei’ach yidden.

I see the velt’s naarishkeit of “male bashing” has found its way to YWN CR, because that’s what is going on in this thread. I read stories of isolated cases of people acting in an “uneducated” manner. What about the Hatzalah members, Shomrim members, Chaveirim members who certainly outnumber — by a huge factor, the “uneducated” who act professional no matter who they are treating?

Ave L.
2qwerty: HE ran to them. They didn’t approach him. In fact that turned away from him. What you are saying is more akin to a couple of shuls I am familiar with where there are a bunch of pushkas on a table toward the front. People walk over to the table and distribute as they wish.
;
Cherry, I am pretty sure I know WHERE you daven, I used to daven there (or at least a place that has the same exact rule). Which minyan do you go to?
;
Grandmaster, there are a few signs: a wedding ring says married. Style of dress (not-loud colored fabric that actually covers more of the body). Not open to dialog can be accomplished many ways. There will always be people who ignore or are clueless to those signs
;
My reaction is to remain silent, let the other person cool off. Usually that’s how it works. Unfortunately, sometimes the aggressor WANTS a reaction and when you don’t react it just heats them up even more. Recently, I was yelled at by someone whose rage escalated to physical violence. You need to constantly analyze the situation while it is happening. What does the aggressor want? How can I escape?

What is the purpose of the “shtick?” Hopefully, it’s just a means to a goal. For example, a guy goes to the hardware store to buy a drill. He doesn’t need a drill, he needs hole(s) in his wall (to insert a screw on which to hang a picture or a shelf….). SO don’t lose focus on the goal. Really talented people don’t need shtick.
;
Don’t get any of those myself, but if I happen to be in a house that has Hamodia, I make sure that among the articles I read, is Mordechai Schmutter’s column. I like his style of humor

My father in law sent me this really corny physics joke:
Einstein, Newton and Pascal decide to play hide and seek.
Einstein is it, closes his eyes, counts to 10 then opens them.
Pascal is nowhere to be seen. Newton is sitting right in front of Einstein, with a piece of chalk in his hand. He’s sitting in a box drawn on the ground, a meter to a side.
Einstein says “Newton, you’re terrible, I’ve found you!”
Newton says “No no, Einy. You’ve found one Newton per square meter. You’ve found Pascal!”

Where can one see the music video?
I found the best way is to just take something (book, long article) and just start typing. Start slow, a little bit of time per day, gradually increasing the amount of time you spend.

My Rosh Yeshiva told us the same, years ago. It’s Lo Sisa…. you are saying H name for naught. OMG (the letters, as opposed to saying out the words) might be okay — I never asked, since you are not saying the word.

In a more broad sense, a Shaila can be answered from a small subset of responses (Yes/No, Mutar/Asur, etc. like a multiple choice question). A Kasha’s response is more open ended (like an essay question).
e.g.
Rebbi, is it ok to eat before davening? –> Shaila
Why? –> Kasha
I’d have done it in an editor like UltraEdit. After typing it out you do a simple Search/Replace. You could also try a RegEx such as /s/$/ig on the paragraph.
