^ Not getting it
I heard it wasn’t a great movie.
I didn’t see it myself – I have a cousin who’s not so frum, whatever, so he told me.
Who refers to 23 year olds as “older singles”?
Joseph,
None of those sources discusses nursing in public
Joseph,
Bringing 10 bad sources is not nearly as effective as bringing one good one.
Gadolhadorah.
Thanks, but as an Orthodox Jew, I’m really only interested in what Torah sources say. I don’t care what U.S. Law says regarding this.
A lot of definitive statements being thrown out here. Not a lot of sources.
Why not just fill your pillowcase with pennies?
Dear Stores, Purim is next year.
I don’t think stores read the CR. They’re not even people.
GH,
No analogy. It was just a story relating to stud finders.
Yea I threw mine out when it started turning green
I once had to put up shelves in a closet but I didn’t have a studfinder so I just drilled a bunch of holes until I found a stud and then measured from there.
it may be relevant for purchasing a racehorse but less for a prospective spouse
Funny. I would think exactly the opposite
I saw the partial eclipse through the special glasses. Didn’t look 3D at all.
Waste of a dollar.
Teshuva is never impossible.
Never say never
Some people get satisfaction from capturing a good picture.
Who are you guys talking to?
Never been to one, but I think it’s something in between an emergency room and a regular physician’s office. Like for things that aren’t urgent enough for emergency rooms, but too urgent for your regular doctor (unless your doctor can see you on-the-fly).
The idea is to clear up emergency rooms for real emergencies.
Also the copay is usually lower than emergency rooms.
I was on a bus with a bunch of girls last last month.
I was trying to listen to the latest amazing song which I was playing really quietly on my cassette player, but there was this girl who was talking so loud I couldn’t even hear the music.
She must not have realized how loudly she was talking on a public bus…
It still exists
Why is this in rants?
I think it’s impossible to stare directly at the sun at any time other than during an eclipse.
Your eyes would automatically turn away since it’s so bright.
So, sefardi guy, when do you buy your kids’ school supplies?
Or do you not buy them at all, because only losers who like school come prepared?
Why do you need a degree?
RebYidd, don’t be silly. Children aren’t real people.
In your opinion, when should stores start advertising and selling school supplies? The day before school starts?
THEY CANT USE THE KIDS TO MAKE [M]ONEY
What’s that supposed to mean?
Kudos to the webmasters for giving out free advertorials to Klall organizations, that cannot always afford to purchase online advertising space for worthy causes, but are desperate to get their important messages out to the public.
I don’t think they’re giving free advertisements, I think they’re just not labeling the ads properly. On the old site they used to clearly write “COMMUNICATED CONTENT” but they don’t do that anymore.
It’s both annoying and dishonest to post a paid advertisement as a news story. (I don’t think the developers/editors do it on purpose, I’m just pointing out that it comes across this way)
Bump.
With the new system, there are some ads which are not labeled as such. The only indication is the word “promotions” in the URL.
The following is an example:
how often men show up at simchas and civil functions dressed in ill-fitting, frumpy, torn and sometimes dirty/smelly clothes
What kind of simchas do you attend?
Stop making up stories to justify your hatred of frum Jews
Even at home, its best to avoid such commentary since its so easy to frame the comments in a way that is misunderstood or makes the recipient feel uncomfortable.
This is excellent advice. I never comment on my wife’s appearance (or give her compliments in general) out of concern that it might make her uncomfortable.
Turn up the air conditioner? Or turn down the air conditioner?
Also what does it mean when the “eruv is up”?
If it’s referring to the string commonly referred to as “The Eruv”, I don’t want it to be “up”, I want it to be at the appropriate height to allow for a valid eruv chatzeiros – not too high, not too low.
Then bring it to your Rav. If he still says do not do anything then get a second opinion from a very respected Rav and show them the recording. If all fails and you have the recording to back you up call the cops.
So your suggestion is to go to two rabbonim and then not listen to them unless they give the desired psak?
Why don’t you ask your rov again, now that it happened again?
If you don’t plan on listening to him, why did you ask him in the first place?
I once called the cops on my non-Jewish beighbor because I heard screaming.
The cops never showed up.
There are a variety of new soy-based proteins that look and taste nearly exactly like real meat…
You’ve clearly never had a real good chulent. I feel for you.
In my day (30 years ago) taking date to a restaurant was “normal” even in yeshivish circles. It is not pretzus.
Tell that to Joseph
Not all words are created equal, regardless if they define the same type of person
Beautifully said. It really doesn’t answer my question though.
How about we stop using the term goyim as a whole? It clearly possesses a significant, negative connotation to a group of people who have done you no harm.
Why would it be worse than any term referring to a person who isn’t Jewish?
I’m not complaining whatsoever…I’m inquiring why any girl would complain.
They don’t complain. They just inquire why dating is so hard.
I don’t get the vegetables analogy
I’ve been married long enough to know that complaining that women have it easy never turns out well.
Does the brocha acharona cut off the food or does it cut off the brocha rishona?
I think those would be the two tzdadim
Is this a bad omen for America?
I’ll have to check my tarot cards
zahavasdad,
You are completely missing the point.
No one is saying we shouldn’t use smartphones because people got along fine without them for thousands of years.
The point being made is that it is rude to take out your cell phone while being menachem avel.
Ayyyy, but you’ll ask, maybe that guy was waiting for an important call, so maybe it wasn’t actually rude?
To that, DovidBT responded: “People managed to deal with that for thousands of years without carrying phones with them everywhere they go.” (i.e. he can wait a few minutes to check his phone, or if it’s that urgent he could step out)
better just save up to buy a house so at least your monthly pay will go to a mortgage versus just rent
And houses in Boro Park go for how much?
I’m still not following. Is your tayna on the yeshivas or the board of ed?
