This is an especially funny thread.
Here the chareidim are taken to task for adopting chumros in areas such as tznius, where the medrash says that when Hashem made chava, with each limb He sais “t’hei isha tznua”.
And here those people are making up this outrageous and baseless chumra on such wisps of connection.
Also, in the meantime, I have figured out the answer to how recycling can be cheaper. The wikipedia page was referring to the municipalty’s cost. There are presumably state and federal subsidies for recycling, and extra fees on landfilling plus extra costs brought on by regulatory compliance with regulations and statutes such as RCRA.
Haven’t seen charlie in a long while. I once considered emailing him at his hospital address, but decided not to.
Ok, yes it is a davar pashut.
I kind of don’t. It is normal human emotions to become engaged in what you are doing. It is normal for a doctor to become emotionally involved in the people he is curing, and to be happy about the fact that his business is curing people.
Why do you deny that to people whose business is raising money for causes?
If your purpose was to avoid giving them the percentage, you would find the organization and give them the money directly.
You just don’t want phone calls.
Sam:
Honest question? You were in doubt?
Check out the ibn ezra by ki yigof shor ish es shor re’eihu.
Whose friend?
Didn’t you just post the same question?
Anyway, the word is redt, and it means to say. If you want to say it in english, say told.
The whole idea of research is outrageous, and a waste of time and effort.
The correct way to do it is the way businesses do it. You ask for the information you want, and then you put in the contract that if they made misrepresentations then you get remedies. That is what I did with my wife, and it worked perfectly.

Well, I make it a policy to not disagree with people on the CR. My only exceptions are for trolls and for “Acher”.
So if I disagree, I know it’s either a troll or Acher.
(You like the new way of refering to him?)
Is that why? I assume when someone leaves that its because joseph has emailed them and threatened them unless they leave.
Just sayin’

Popa buys his hat at bencraft, and buys the middle priced borsalino. Last time I think it was about 170.
They kind of last for a long time.
My neice has a cd about the aleph beis. The best song is “kuf is for kugel…”
ok, maybe we agree.
Maybe I just analogized the CR people telling him what to do, to himself trying to find out the correct thing to do; rather than to the guy demanding it of him.
Anyway, Rabeinu yona says that if you go somewhere for shabbos and they don’t serve shaloshudes, you should be meiz panav and say “??? ???”. So you see, you are supposed to ask the baal babos to do it for you. (This part was not serious)
I’m not telling people anything. People should do it themselves, because the whole point of the world is to emulate Hashem, and Hashem’s whole point in creating the world was to do chessed for us.
The torah begins with chessed (Hashem clothed adam and chava), and ends with chessed (Hashem buried moshe.)
So yes, I would sooner have the entire world standing on their head during shmone esrei, than declare something off limits for chessed.
And I am about as anti chumrah as they come. I think that keeping chumrahs beyond one’s level is a way of avoiding having to work on one’s avodas Hashem in a meaningful way. I think that an emphasis on chumrah for most people is a de-emphasis on middos development. I am so ready to bash chumraing, you wouldn’t believe it.
And I used to think that it was a real problem in Judaism. But you won’t notice me posting about that very much these days. I’ve found so many better and bigger problems.
Sam: I hear the concern, but my rebbeim never said anything about not doing chessed for the sake of making sure people would know about my minhag.
If I have a guest who doesn’t eat gebrochts, I would gladly not have kneidlach.
yitayning:
I’m not sure what you are saying.
A person ought to do chessed for other people, whenever he can, and to the degree it won’t be too hard for him. This applies whether the other person’s need is a chumrah, a chiyuv, a narishkeit, or whatever.
Of course, there is more of a chiyuv when there is greater need, and we should rank his chiyuvim above his chumrahs which should be above his narishkeit, but you can’t categorically say that we should never do chessed for someone’s narishkeit.
Hmmm. It will obviously still have all the keilim. But I imagine it will have modern lighting and heating. I think G-d knows how to make it.
Obviously, YWN does not need to shut down since the editor uses it for work, which was a bpheirush heter.
Also, most posters also surf during work (it appears), so they are also ok.
Popa surfs from his blackberry, which is not really internet because it goes through the telephone system and has a din of “phone arichta”.
Sent from my verizon wireless blackberry.
But where’s the rum gone???
It is because of all the people closing their accounts after the asifa.
Just wait till those men come back and see how intelligent we can be without them!
Ok, first discussion: My husband says if I make milchigs for shevuos, he’s eating in yeshiva. How can I find out if his chavrusa will also do that, and then should I invite his wife, or should I try to go there?
popa is a woman. he can stay
Ok, so go to beis din.
If you have a mortgage on the house, you may be contractually required to get involved. You should ask the lawyer that also.
You say you don’t want to get a lawyer involved. That is stupid. That is the same as saying you don’t want to solve it. If you don’t want to solve it, then just don’t.
Also, I don’t believe in chemical imbalance. There is not a shred of evidence that any psychological disorder under the sun is caused by a chemical imbalance.
The evidence they usually cite is that people who are suffering from different psychological disorders will have more or less of different chemicals. This proves nothing.
They neglect to ask whether it is the chemical which is causing the disorder, or the disorder which is causing the chemical. The brain does everything through chemicals. When it wants you to be hungry, it releases chemicals. When it wants you to be angry, it releases chemicals. When it wants you to sleep, it releases chemicals. When it wants you to be sad, it releases chemicals.
So of course depressed people show different chemicals. Because that is how the brain tells the body to be depressed–by releasing chemicals. Why does the brain tell the body to be depressed? Because something is in your past or present which should make you depressed.
Just like when someone cuts you off, your brain releases chemicals which make you angry and make your heart pound. Does the guy cut you off because of the chemicals, or do the chemicals come because the guy cuts you off?
A. There are systems you can install which will clean the air, so that you can’t smell it. It is expensive, but cheaper than moving, and cheaper than being mad at your neighbors.
B. Offer them money to stop smoking outside.
I think not googling her, is negligence per se.
due diligence.
If he is putting stuff on your property, you have a serious problem to address.
You should probably speak to a lawyer. You might also just take the boards down (since, it is your property, after all).
But, how do you know where the property line is?
Syag, that’s crazy. I changed my mind; I’m not dating any relatives of yours
There are girls and boys.
Boys whose parents can’t or won’t support them, will either start working, or marry someone who either can support them or has parents who will.
Girls whose parents can’t or won’t support them, will either marry someone who can support them, or will marry someone whose parents will support them, or will wait until she can support them. Sometimes, parents may be more willing to help for a couple of years until she finishes her degree.
