This is what’s wrong with shiduchim. All this babying of the woman. How is the guy supposed to function when he’s all caught up with making sure you are perfectly comfortable and you judge the date on how perfectly comfortable he made you?

You know what’s wrong with shidduchim (and marriages)? The fact that some guys think buying a girl a soda from Duane Reade and asking her if she would prefer to do something else instead of walking is considered “babying”.

I carry a little hook with a suction cup in my tallis bag, so I just need to find a window or other smooth surface on which to stick it.

They’re trying to be like Brooklyn.

(Where’s jakob?)

Wait, did you mean “m’heicha teissi”?

If so, MDG’s answer seems good to me.

I don’t mix my cholent.

I just put all the ingredients in the pot and let it do its thing.

Does this shul have a Rov?

But a rebbe cannot be elected. Its who he is.

Maybe I’m the rebbe. How would I know?

5ish, do you seriously believe that it’s impossible to daven properly before the z’man? It sounds very, very shver.

This, and also, what percentage of people who are davening after the zman actually use that extra time to prepare themselves?

I would bet that it’s a very small percentage.

I didn’t know they was in the Five Towns too.

Spoken like a true New Yorker

Omgosh the Five Towns…Are so cute

This is certainly up for debate (and I’m sure it has been debated extensively), but I think you would say “is” not “are”.

This thread has become one big circus.

Im certain you are kidding, but in case you think it is hard to prove. The easiest way is go to aa lab have your blood drawn with a vacutainer (a standard blood vial) . By definition there is no oxygen in the tube the blood appears in the tube exactly as in your body it is not blue.

I was kidding, but I appreciate your response anyway. Interesting.

How do they keep the vial free from oxygen?

Who ever thought blood was blue?

I did, and I still do. Prove to me otherwise.

What (frum) community is fighting over sports?

What?

This thread has been very informative, but there is one issue that no one seems to have addressed:

What is the practical difference between a “chabadnik”, a “chabadsker”, and a “Lubavitcher”?

I imagine that the frequency of asking shailos depends a lot on one’s level of education.

It does, but not the way many people think it does.

Does anyone here know of any yeshiva where there is a requirement for bochurim to wear white shirts and the bochurim have a significant issue with it?

I understand that people don’t see a reason/logic, but if the bochurim don’t have a problem with it, why would anyone else have a problem with it? Why make a big deal out of nothing?

Here’s 90% of this thread in a nutshell:

Side A: Shaitels are assur because there are so many poskim who say they’re assur, and it makes no logical sense that they should be muttar, because they look exactly like real hair, and therefore anyone that wears a shaitel is transgressing a terrible issur.

Side B: Granted there are many poskim who say shaitels are assur, and it might not seem to make sense, but there are also many reliable poskim who say shaitels are muttar, and apparently hold that the fact that shaitels look like real hair is not an issue, and therefore the people who wear shaitels are doing something which is completely acceptable.

(I disregarded the first part of the thread which discusses avodah zarah because that’s a completely different issue)

miri97,

If you read through this thread you will find a good number of solid arguments refuting most of your points.

I’m not really sure what that’s supposed to mean

I just read R’ Moshe’s Teshuvos, which DY posted earlier. I’m confident that anyone who is speculating whether R’ Moshe would’ve given the same p’sak today simply hasn’t read the teshuva. R’ Moshe’s psak is very clear.

“electric devises”? “adgournment”? “premitted”? “priviledge”? “foreited”? “sentece”?

Are you sure this isn’t from a Nigerian prince?

If you really want to make a good impression, the best thing to do is to take some and put it in your pocket for later.

It shows that you’re sensible.

Or if you really wanna steal the show, ask if they have any leftovers they’re trying to get rid of.

From the World Peekaboo Association’s Official Rule Book:

“‘Peekaboo’ is to be exclaimed at the moment the Peekabooer’s face becomes visible to his/her opponent.”

So technically you could uncover your face and then subsequently turn your head while peekabooing, but it’s a bad strategy in my opinion.
