I spent 2.5 hours lipstick shopping yesterday until I found the PERFECT lipstick for shabbos/yom tov
How did you know how long it lasts after only 2.5 hours of shopping?
How would not eating someone’s michloach manos embarrass them or make them angry?
It’s not like they deliver it and stand there waiting for you to try it
While the earth revolves around the Sun, it seems some posters revovle around me , sort of like I am the center of their universe
How romantic
Once a woman played it on a piano for a man (from behind a mechitza), and he handed down the mesorah
There are many other kashrus issues that can arise in a kitchen even if everything entering the kitchen is totally kosher. It’s not as simple as “keeping milk and meat separate”.
That is, of course, unless you have 6 kitchen sinks (shoutout to CTL)
But if your saying that I should wait another year or two until the guy I really want is ready…
I think she’s saying you should wait until YOU’RE ready
The refillable k-cups kill half of the convenience aspect
Are you serious?
Hmm. So he would become a Rabbi just so he could date you?
I would still say you sound confused.
So let me get this straight.
You’re looking for a guy who learns full time, and you’re asking if you should date someone who’s otd but would become more religious just so he can date you?
You sound very confused. Reminds me of another poster from a few months back…
Just make sure to get everything in writing so that everyone is on the same page about how frum everyone else is supposed to be.
And make sure to use precise legal terms, such as “MO” and “OTD”
I hope you remembered to take the card out before you regifted it.
I also hope neither of those people is reading this.
I should stop talking before I get myself into trouble.
Wait, you mean Mordechai Hatzaddik didn’t send Spongebob-themed Mishloach Manos?
LB,
Never happened and I don’t think it ever will. People generally get mishloach manos from a bunch of different people and the givers should understand that. I think it’s unreasonable to expect a follow-up on every mishloach manos that you send (not saying you shouldn’t thank people, as they would surely appreciate it, just saying they shouldn’t necessarily expect it).
Funny story though, my wife and I once regifted a wedding gift (it was a challah board – we received two similar ones). A little while later the person who gave it asked my wife if we like it. My wife responded with something super smooth. I forgot exactly how it went but it was something like “Oh it’s beautiful…every week”. Everyone was happy
shebbesonian,
Would ?? ??? ???? ???????? apply here?
The issue here is not whether the person is telling the truth. The issue is that the person may rely on kulos upon which other people wouldn’t rely.
If you applied ?? ??? ???? ???????? here, you could probably use the same rationale to eat food with any kosher certification as long as there is a Mashgiach that is shomer shabbos.
“Do you regift?”
That would be a big problem, I agree
“Knowing that for yourself, why give homebaked cookies to someone else when they also may not eat it?”
Why should everyone miss out on these delicious cookies just because some people won’t eat them?
I don’t trust their kashrus
I made the cookies. I keep kosher. As far as I’m concerned the cookies are kosher.
If someone wants to take precautions and not rely on my kashrus, they are more than welcome, but that’s not my problem.
(Btw, I often don’t eat home-baked goods that I receive, but I have no problem with people sending them)
It’s also like 6 bucks for a pint
Why would it not be acceptable for me to give to someone else items which I hold are kosher?
They know who it’s coming from, if they don’t want to eat it they don’t have to.
Btw, once upon a time there was no such thing as packaged goods, yet there was still a mitzvah of mishloach manos.
LB,
I just want to clarify, I didn’t mean to suggest you shouldn’t see your PCP (I honestly haven’t been following the thread, and even if I was, I’m not a doctor or anything like that so I can’t give you that kind of advice).
I just wanted to let you know that you aren’t required to for insurance purposes.
“my health insurance requires me to see my primary care provider first”
You don’t necessarily have to see your PCP, you just need a referral from them. Sometimes you can just call them and they’ll send a referral
Don’t they have the samples that you can test out in the store?
Just do your purim makeup there
Why are there people in the catalog? Does IKEA sell people?
Also, fun fact – I have those bookcases that are pictured on the front of the catalog
Well it depends what you mean by “people”
It’s totally gross.
Wondering how it went
How is a windbreaker bakovedik?
Is there something inherently bakovedik in having an extra layer of clothing over your shirt?
If one were invited to Buckingham Palace, I think a windbreaker would be worse than no jacket at all
I thought that Hashem was our Father
“Avinu Malkeinu…”
LB,
Most of the people who don’t wear jackets do so because they don’t want to, not because they don’t have a jacket.
Fake sugar tastes gross.
If it’s a ticket they’ll let you know.
It could’ve been a hundred different things though, no point in worrying about it now.
Could’ve been lightning.
Could’ve been a random person taking a picture of you.
Could’ve been you taking a picture of a random person.
Could’ve even been a ticket for someone else.
So you don’t even know if you got a ticket?
What if you were exactly halfway around the world from Yerushalayim. Do you daven facing east or west? Question always bothered me.
Daven facing the floor?
There is nothing wrong with a male giving a ride to a Female or vice versa as long as you go on public roads.
That is true from a yichud standpoint. Rebshidduch asked how this should be done in a tznius way. They’re not the same thing.
when people were just beginning to turn their frumkeit into meshugaas
Huh?
Does the car have clear windows and will you be driving on a road where there are other drivers and pedestrians who can see into your vehicle?
This might avoid yichud problems, but not tznius problems.
Anyways, is kosher Chinese food a good thing? I read there are a few restaurants in New York that serve kosher. Would you eat there?
I wonder if they have Chinese Kosher food in China. Like Chinese chulent or gefilte fish
Maybe you’ll find your answer in this thread:

I don’t know what Facebook is – I’m not really into books – but the problem with “likes” or “plus ones” is that the fact that it’s so easy makes it cheap. If all you could to to show your appreciation or agreement is make three keystrokes, then you must not appreciate or agree that much.
Are you all thinking what I’m thinking?
Are Shopping613 and Joseph the same person?!
The way I see it, if it’s not worth your time to write out the words “I agree” or “great post”, then you’re better off just not saying anything.
Mod 29,
I very strongly agree.
Maybe the Mods can put an end to this
Here’s an idea: how about people start communicating with words instead of mathematical expressions.
The whole +1 thing is very ambiguous anyway. It’s not clear whether it means you are agreeing or complimenting

How would you know if one foot was in and the other out?
you would get kicked out of yeshiva for that question
But the answer is: The same way you would know if both were in or both were out
Isn’t Tu B’Shvat about trees?
Cookies for wheat.
Dried barley as a decoration on the table cloth.
What do those have to do with Tu B’Shvat?
