“i dont understand how people consider guys who smoke not otd?”
Hey, I just discovered there’s a thread about that:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/frum-boys-who-smoke/page/
Sparkly,
So why do you keep asking halacha questions? Why don’t you just answer you own questions?
Joseph,
As long as he feels it’s reasonable to take o pull out. The people can’t get by while he’s pulling out anyway. He’s holding them up, not you.
“First, it makes them all think I’m like their boss.
Second, some of them go and negotiate more money, and that changes the baseline for how the company thinks of compensation, and then I ask for more.”
Third, word eventually gets back to the actual boss that you lied about your compensation in order to change the baseline, and you get fired.
It’s like the circle of life.
“ubiq, often the guy pulling out doesn’t hustle and takes his pretty time (and four cars are honking for you to move.)”
The people behind can wait. That’s part of living in a place with such roads.
I’ve learned that you can’t judge whether what you’re doing is right or wrong based on whether or not people are honking their horns at you.
^This.
Sparkly,
So you’re quitting pharmacy school!? Just like that?!
“but for real if i did smoke i would consider myself otd”
I find that hard to believe. So much so that it even makes me laugh.
cherrybim,
I hope you’re not a rasha, because if so you would be doing the wrong thing by being Dan yourself L’kaf Z’chus..
Though if you are a rasha, you pobably don’t care about doing the wrong thing.
“You need to be careful. I had a friend who recently mentioned to her coworker how she felt underpaid, and her coworker managed to extract all the details about her salary than receded to go to her boss demanding that she get paid like my friend….”
A boss should know how to deal with situations like that. If an employee feels he/she deserves a raise, he/she should have a more legitimate reason than “he gets paid more than me.” An employer has no obligation to pay all of his employees equally, even if they have similar qualifications.
takahmamash,
I think Sparkly was asking if the seminary commonly known as “Ateres” is actually called “Ateres Miriam”
“is it wrong to wear sandals if everyone else is wearing tights?”
Are you wearing socks? If so, it’s wrong, no matter what everyone else is wearing.
Is it a beach?
How could a person’s reputation precede him? How could he have a reputation before he even exists?
Ok. So why are all the other frum girls desperate to get married?
Can we please just all agree that smoking is otd and pikuach nefesh, and its ok to watch movies so we can stop bumping this thread?
“i think im going to become a halacha teacher”
What happened to pharmacy school? And your kiruv organization?
You can just buy the packets of powder and pour them into hot water
“i dont want to be a pharmacist because its taking me ages”
This reminds me of a guy who wants to adopt a kid, so he calls up an adoption agency, and they tell him the waiting list is around two years. He responds, “Forget it. I don’t even know if I’ll want a kid in two years.”
(Sorry for the off-topic comment)
This morning, 6:30 and 57 seconds was the ideal time to start sh’mona esrei. It changes every day.
(Btw, the time I gave is for Brooklyn because apparently that’s the center of the universe. It would vary for other places in the universe)
I am so confused
How is it personal if it applies to all other frum girls? Isn’t that the exact opposite of personal?
How do they know you can’t feel it? Did they try touching it?
LU,
I just googled it (actually right before I saw your post).
It’s not so pashut. I guess depends on the precise definition of the word tangible
Does it have mass?
The coffee room just goes through phases. This is one of them.
There is no “normal” or “strange”
I’ll assume that was a compliment. Thank you
Is it outer space?
I’ve been testing out different methods of making iced coffee. I guess you got one of the bad ones.
“daven with your eyes closed so you can concentrate without any distractions around you”
I find that there are a lot more distractions inside my head than around me. I daven at the same minyan, in the same seat, every single day. I rarely find anything around me distracting.
Making an overly fancy wedding is not Tznius
I’m sorry you’re in pain, but your post sounds incredibly haughty and insensitive.
Just some quotes from your post to support my statement:
“the entire tragedy the occurred R”L could have been avoided if the brother who it occurred to would have listened to his rav & just done teshuva” (Maybe you should have listened to your Rav and done Teshuva)
“May you one day reach this high level” (I shouldn’t have to explain what’s wrong with this)
“To help you understand the high level so you should trust me. Moshe rabbeinu…Yirmiyahu hanavi…” (Comparing yourself with Moshe Rabeinu and Yirmiyahu HaNavi)
“why are all the other frum girls so desperate to get married?”
Excellent question, but that’s not a reason in itself.
There should be a Coffee Room roll call every morning to make sure everyone’s OK. Kind of like they do in prison.
Neville,
You clearly aren’t reading what people wrote.
There was a limit of one (or two) per customer from the US Mint (btw it’s the actual US Mint, not some other company). That’s why people CAN’T just do this instead of working. That’s why the dealer CAN’T buy them all by himself.
The main reasons people felt it was a “scam” are
1)The dealer was using a trick to circumvent the limit set by the Mint
2)People could have sold the coins themselves for more than the dealer was offering, albeit sacrificing a bit of convenience
It’s not a free money scam, it’s a simple business deal. If you would just read you would see that.

“It’s amazing that you are keeping Shabbos! You are so great!”
This is the truth, so no one is misleading them with this expression.
“However, once they become frum, they won’t have everyone hugging them and clapping them on the back for keeping shabbos.”
Unless they are very naive, why would they expect that? They know it’s a kiruv organization, so it makes sense that the people involved would be more encouraging than people in the real world.
Still don’t see anything wrong with it.

Who cares if that’s what a “typical” Shabbos is? If they ending living a lifestyle in which they have a kumzitz with a guitar by havdallah, is there anything wrong with that?
You need to hook them with something, and a “typical” Shabbos just doesn’t do it for a lot a people, especially teenagers.
Btw, your statistic of 99% is probably not accurate. There are plenty of people in Israel who do stuff like that.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.
