Well obviously the strings are made of wool
They’re made of duct tape and silly putty
If they were talking out loud in a public place, they shouldn’t be offended that you were listening in.
Awesome!
LB,
I believe you did misinterpret it. The last paragraph that you quoted makes it pretty clear that Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. removed the symbol, not the OU. The article is explaining why the individual cups SHOULD have the OU symbol.
EDIT: I now see that you edited your post before I wrote this 🙂
“The OU stopped labeling the individual cups because it could be misleading. If someone used a non-kosher k-cup right before the person comes in with his/her k-cup, then the Keurig machine would not be kosher; thus the coffee also wouldn’t be kosher anymore.”
That doesn’t sound like a good reason to stop labeling the cups. It’s like saying they shouldn’t put a hechsher on cheese because someone might put it on a hamburger and then it wouldn’t be kosher anymore. I know it’s not exactly the same, but it’s the same idea. When they label a package, they are certifying that the product itself is kosher. There are always other kashrus considerations, and it’s your responsibility as a Jew to be aware of them.
Donuts aren’t nuts, they’re pastries
Can the mods actually think? I thought they were like robots
I guess it’s just the way my brain works
LU,
Funny thing is, I really didn’t even think of it until after I wrote that post.
I read over my post and I was like, hey wait a minute
LB
Maybe we’re thinking the same thing you’re thinking
LU,
I think so.
Are you thinking the same thing I’m thinking?
I’m on the fence about this one.
Oh I see. I misunderstood what LB was saying.
She said: “Putting women in the back of a bus is a halachic issue”
I usually interpret the word “issue” to mean “problem”. But that’s my mistake.
“Because it can break up families”
How?
“Putting women in the back of a bus is a halachic issue.”
Is it?
“$6.99 for 24 hard boiled eggs, good until March something.
Double the cost of a 24 pack of raw eggs.”
Still not seeing where you saved money.
“But they are a result of a sick anti-children culture.”
Is that really so?
I don’t enjoy hearing other people’s children crying (and I wouldn’t expect them to enjoy hearing my kids cry).
Does that make me “anti-children”?
How did you save money? Were they cheaper than raw eggs?
And what’s sodium benzoate?
“Any good shadchanim in lakewood that works with boys learning full time?”
So you’ve changed your mind already?
LU,
Thank you for the explanation.
As far as I can see, the only downside to this would be that there are fewer seats available for people with children. As it is, a vast majority of people who fly don’t fly with small children, so it shouldn’t be a big deal to just consolidate those who do. Doesn’t seem like a big deal. Am I missing something?
Do you have to pay extra to sit in a child-free zone?
Do you have to pay extra to not sit in a child-free zone?
If you’re sitting in a zone that’s not child-free do you have to adopt a child for the duration of the flight?
I still don’t get how this works…
I’ve only used a Soncino once in my life. I was desperate and had no other options available.
Problem was that I still understood the Aramaic better than I understood the Soncino translation
When most people see an exclamation point, they assume you are yelling (and rightfully so – that’s the purpose of an exclamation mark).
If it’s a casual conversation, I don’t see a problem with it. But if it’s anything professional, unless the person with whom you’re communicating knows you very well, I would take it easy.
Could someone explain how this works?
I’ve never heard of it.
Do people still use DVDs?
Truth is, whichever way you go, you’ll be asking this question again in 20 years
The machlokes is based on the fact that the rice in rice cakes isn’t cooked, it’s just “puffed” (whatever that means). If I remember correctly, the only reason they might be mezonos is because they are pressed into a cake. I believe everyone would agree that puffed rice (not pressed into a cake) has the status of raw rice, which is ha’adoma.
“Humpty Dumpty sate [sic] on a wall,
Humpti Dumpti [sic] had a great fall;”
Funny how they forgot how to spell from one line to the next.
Or maybe there’s a deeper meaning behind the spelling.
Hmm…
“Enough to question if I should call the Poison Control”
Is mouthwash poison? Don’t some alcoholics drink it when they can’t get real alcohol?
Does anyone actually think their challah recipe ISN’T delicious?
“The Jeopardy theme song is just “Twinkle Twinkle” with a funky beat.”
No it’s not
I think I still have a suit from Syms
I was once given a heter by a prominent respectable posek to take a cab home from the hospital on shabbos with a patient who had difficulty walking. (He only told me after we had already walked home, so it wasn’t a psak l’ma’seh for that occurrence, but he said it would have been muttar.)
I still don’t understand what regular shoes are.
What are ankle-high shoes? Are they too high or too low?
“Its not tznius to look at a girl”
It is forbidden for a man to marry a woman until he sees her (Kiddushin 41A)
“People should not be makpid on looks because then it will make you have a harder time getting married.”
People who consider looks to be important should be makpid on looks because otherwise you will have a harder time staying married.
“Let’s not forget king achasvarosh was makpid on looks.
thats one of reasons we say malech tippish hayah.”

LB – “On the other hand, when we have storehouses of grain in warehouses, it’s not the same. There are actual people who can eat and use that food but it sits there until whatever grain industry it is gets the top price, despite who is going hungry.”
Are you suggesting that people go hungry because farmers store grain?
They should just give away grain to poor people instead of storing it?
“If I told the Rebbetzin that I wasn’t showing up because I didn’t have the right outfit on, she would likely tell me to come anyway”
If you feel comfortable telling her that, you should probably discuss this with her.
“why is it that when a beaver family moves into a new river and builds a dam, thereby flooding the area and creating a new habitat, it is considered an amazing thing, even though the previous habitat was destroyed in the process, but when humans come in and clear land to build a new habitat (a new city) environmentalists consider it destructive?”
Why should humans have more rights than animals?
“fleischige luckshen kugel”
I have to try that. I am no longer a bochur, nor am I in Yeshiva, but that sounds amazing!
“Halacha gives the son the right to inherit his father’s rabbanus, if I recall correctly.”
Does Halacha give congregants the right to switch shuls? Because if it does, then it would be foolish to have a son inherit his father’s rabbanus in a case where people don’t want it.
“Should a son take over the yeshiva or shule after his father?”
It should be up to the congregants. Assuming they’re paying membership, no one else should decide for them who their Rov is going to be.
Kugel, schnitzel, liver, deli
“Without question, the greatest tragedy currently facing the Shabbos table is the newfangled foods…”
Surely you don’t mean to say that this is the greatest tradgedy.
“They should just take a few pictures and Photoshop all the combinations later. The whole thing could take 30 minutes.”
I just thought of an even better idea. On the response card, they should write something like “If you can’t/don’t want to come, please enclose a recent picture of yourself, preferably smiling” and then just Photoshop everything. That way you can save time and save money on the number of guests also!
Sorry, I just realized what I wrote may have been unclear.
I meant to say:
The Ramchal in Mesillas Yesharim, Perek Alef, says that the Midrash in Koheles is referring to the spiritual destruction of the world through physical pleasures.

Sorry about all my ranting.
“people want to live near the families and friends”

“The caterer wanted the Chosson and Kalla to enter the reception at 9:30 (just after serving the soup)”
I hope they gave people time to finish their soup first.
They should just take a few pictures and Photoshop all the combinations later. The whole thing could take 30 minutes.
“But not a team of five photographers costing about $10,000 or more.”
So what’s the issue now? The time or the money?
Because more photographers generally means less time
