MenoParticipant
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…
MenoParticipantI 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.
MenoParticipantCan the picture of the mesmerizer be photoshopped?
MenoParticipantI 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
MenoParticipantPardon my ignorance. What’s a flat cap?
MenoParticipantHow do you define free? One could argue that no one is really free.
Either way, that has nothing to do with OP’s question.

December 31, 2015 5:35 pm at 5:35 pm in reply to: Are Kollel Folks Better Jews Than The Rest Of us? #1174332MenoParticipantThat doesn’t answer the question
MenoParticipantIs it affecting the Missouri Yeshiva?
(I know this was asked already, but the thread seems to be going off course and I’m actually curious to know)
MenoParticipant“If bad things would effect frumkeit, bad things would be good things.”
I just got this.
I must’ve read it four separate times before getting it.
Well done, RebYidd

December 24, 2015 5:08 pm at 5:08 pm in reply to: MODERN ORTHODOXY: The Fundamental problems #1119037MenoParticipantYou should organize your thoughts before writing something like this. The logic and flow make no sense. Pretty much sounds like an incoherent rant.
MenoParticipantMeno. As in “Finding Meno”.
MenoParticipantMashiach Agent
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.
MenoParticipant“But labels and price tags have nothing to do with tznius.”
Wrong. Tznius is much more than how much skin you cover up.
Abie Rotenberg’s “Wedding Song” comes to mind
MenoParticipantMashiach Agent: Well done. I didn’t know you had it in you
MenoParticipantKolMevaser:
Even if the stain can be removed?
December 16, 2015 5:49 pm at 5:49 pm in reply to: Artscroll gemara now coming onto technology #1149432MenoParticipantMashiach Agent:
You give wonderful examples. But what are these examples of?
MenoParticipantTry some kind of alcohol
After enough of it, the stain won’t bother you anymore 😉
December 16, 2015 3:53 pm at 3:53 pm in reply to: Is anyone else reminded of "Verplanck" every time they hear that ringtone? #1117137MenoParticipantWhat ever happened to that show? I thought it was kinda funny.
(It was supposed to be funny, right?)
December 16, 2015 3:50 pm at 3:50 pm in reply to: Parents visiting married children uninvited at night??? #1117067MenoParticipant“An earlier post made reference to situations where the parents are still supporting the married couple. Financial support does not mean that the parent has the right to intrude physically at will.”
I made that earlier post. It was a joke. Sorry if that wasn’t clear
MenoParticipant“I don’t understand LF’s and CA’s attitude. I love when I have the last word. It means that my last post was so correct that no one could argue”
…and then everyone hates you
December 15, 2015 7:35 pm at 7:35 pm in reply to: Reasons to do teshuva and why the world is in such a bad situation #1117019MenoParticipantIt’s Meno (as in “Finding Meno”)
Not Memo
MenoParticipantI just got here. Wow
December 15, 2015 2:13 pm at 2:13 pm in reply to: Reasons to do teshuva and why the world is in such a bad situation #1117009MenoParticipantIt’s not a rant, he’s just reiterating what Mashiach Agent says
MenoParticipanttheprof1
Why is daily davening required?
MenoParticipantMordechai26
I’m not buying it. Show me a psak from a mainstream posek that says every every piece of clothing needs to be checked.
MenoParticipant“a lot of apparel today has shaatnez even though it says 100% cotton, etc.”
Is that true? Why would they use wool and linen instead of cotton?
December 14, 2015 4:58 pm at 4:58 pm in reply to: Parents visiting married children uninvited at night??? #1117043MenoParticipantIt’s OK if they’re still supporting you. Then you’re pretty much still a child.
MenoParticipantMashiach Agent:
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.
MenoParticipantI wasn’t actually making a joke.
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.
MenoParticipantMashiach Agent
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?
MenoParticipantMashiach Agent:
So if he came 2 minutes late because he was busy posting in the Coffee Room, it would be different?
December 10, 2015 8:58 pm at 8:58 pm in reply to: Invited to the Wedding Feast, not the Ceremony-would you be offended? #1143002MenoParticipant“The men just need to change to a fresh white shirt”
For the record, if I were attending both, I would probably not change my shirt
MenoParticipant^ Well said. I think that pretty much closes this issue.
MenoParticipantI think the moderators should post their cell numbers here. I think that’s the most reasonable solution.
MenoParticipantWolf
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.
MenoParticipantI 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.
December 3, 2015 9:17 pm at 9:17 pm in reply to: Invited to the Wedding Feast, not the Ceremony-would you be offended? #1142976MenoParticipantI 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.
MenoParticipantHashemisreading, I married someone with an iphone, and she ended up being an actual person.
Not all people with iphones are totally absorbed in them. Not even most people with iphones.
November 27, 2015 4:29 pm at 4:29 pm in reply to: How do you shecht a giraffe when your heart is black? #1114117MenoParticipantCan someone explain to me what this giraffe thing is all about?
I just read this whole thread and have no idea what it has to do with a giraffe. I feel like Mashiach Agent just threw the whole thread off topic
November 25, 2015 1:58 pm at 1:58 pm in reply to: How do you shecht a giraffe when your heart is black? #1114066MenoParticipantI’ll sing it for you. I don’t know the song though, so I would need someone to sing it for me first.
MenoParticipantI 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.
MenoParticipantI 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.
November 18, 2015 4:35 pm at 4:35 pm in reply to: Is it mutar to listen to a shiur from your Rabbi on shabbos? #1113221MenoParticipantHow could you say the coffee room is bitul torah? We’re discussing a halachic shailoh right now!
MenoParticipantAsk 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.
MenoParticipantapushatayid, I don’t think your comment was very nice.
MenoParticipantExcept flux capacitors are real, so…
MenoParticipant“?????? ???? ???? ????” doesn’t mean it’s OK to not get married as long as you’re learning
MenoParticipantHow can you learn Gemara without Rashi?
