    I’m not a rabbi, but off hand I can think of a bunch of factors that would make it not a problem:

    1) If he’s sleeping when it happens, it’s probably Mis’asek (or maybe less)

    2) It’s a Melocho She’eina Tzricha L’gufa

    3) It’s probably considered Kil’achar Yad

    4) Is Mocheik even a problem with pictures (not words)?

    I’m sure there’s more…

    I don’t do laundry, but I have a very close relationship with someone who does. That person told me that it helps a lot to have a larger washer/dryer.

    I brush every day and get a cleaning twice a year.

    Every time she says I don’t floss enough but it’s ok because I get a cleaning twice a year.

    The only time I floss is after eating corned beef

    How do you define free? One could argue that no one is really free.

    You should organize your thoughts before writing something like this. The logic and flow make no sense. Pretty much sounds like an incoherent rant.

    You can still get a dumbphone for pretty cheap if you shop around. After all of your talk about how bad smartphones are, I’m surprised you’re in such a rush to switch.

    You have a real knack for hi-jacking threads. It’s kind of entertaining sometimes, but it’s usually just annoying. Maybe you should just start a blog and say whatever you’d like there.

    If the policy of the shul is not to do it, the circumstances of each individual case shouldn’t be relevant. Even if you were saving someone’s life, if you missed borchu, you missed it.

    Not every yeshiva still has a payphone – phone companies remove them if they aren’t used enough.

    And what does having a cell phone have to do with being less mature?

    Are you less mature than you were 20 years ago?

    Then they should have a “product service” number. Even though we aren’t customers, if you don’t keep your products happy, you can’t keep your business alive.

    I grew up with a TV in my house. I currently have a smartphone, but no TV. There is no question that I wasted much more time watching TV growing up than I currently do on my phone. Not sure if I can give a good explanation as to why that is so, but it’s the truth.

    I think people are understanding the situation backwards. If I understand correctly, CTLAWYER wants to have a small Chuppah and small seudah in CT, followed by a large seudah in NY. There will therefore be many people who are invited only for the large seudah but not the Chuppah.

    I think you should invite everyone to everything, but somehow (in a nice way) make it clear to them that they have the option of only coming for the large seudah. That way they will understand that you don’t expect them to make the drive, but also they won’t be insulted that they weren’t invited.

    I still don’t see how you get around the p’ru urvu issue. Everyone agrees that’s a chiyuv, which requires getting married first. From what you’ve said so far, it seems to me that your only reasons for not getting married are that marriage is difficult, inconvenient, possibly won’t turn out the way you expect, etc.. I don’t think these are legitimate reasons to be m’vatel an aseh.

    Obviously you need to wait until you’re ready, and it’s nobody’s place to rush you into it, but I don’t see how you can decide to never get married.

    I still don’t see how you can get around the p’ru urvu issue. I think everyone agrees it’s a chiyuv for men.

    I’m not saying you have to get married right now, but by deciding never to get married you are effectively being m’vatel an aseh.

    Ask your friends if they are happy, and if they should think you should get married. I find it hard to believe that most of your married friends are so unhappy that they regret getting married.
