    please no posts criticizing this poster or telling him this is no place to receive medical advice, ask your physician.

    OP is a doctor.

    Why do men say a bracha of Shelo Asani Isha?

    Well, it would be pretty silly for women to say it.

    Why don’t men say “shelo asani k’rtzono”?

    Oh, I thought Hep B needed real blood to blood contact. I guess medical professionals out to get it.

    I still don’t think regular Americans should be getting the Hep A or B vaccine. I have the Hep A because I traveled, but have not gotten the Hep B, and do not intend to.

    I generally think we are being overvaccinated, and too quickly. There is absolutely no reason any vaccine needs to be given in the delivery room.

    There are risks to vaccines. People die from them all the time. There are risks to crossing the street also. But, the medical community has placed a taboo on discussing the risks of vaccines.

    I think the reaction of many people is just a backlash to the medical community completely ignoring all the risks, and making fun of anyone who is concerned for them.

    As far as autism goes, there is no research that shows a link. I am aware of that. I doubt there is any link.

    nurse:

    You are confusing the Hepatitises. Hep B cannot be spread through casual contact. You will not get it from the mechanic, gas station attendant, ect.

    You will get it from needle sharing and other things.

    PBA – If enough people don’t vaccinate it affects the herd immunity.

    Don’t you mean the herd mentality?

    What about hepatitis?

    A perfect example of how unnecessary vaccines are forced upon as.

    Hepatitis A is not common enough in America to need it.

    Hepatitis B is not common among our community, for good reason.

    Do not allow those butchers to give your kid the hepatitis vaccine. You can get the Hep A when you go to Israel.

    I don’t know why it bothers you if some other nut doesn’t vaccinate her kids.

    It doesn’t put your kids in any danger, because your kids do have the vaccine.

    And her kids are unlikely to get sick, since your kids have the vaccine.

    popa – we are not telshers – why do you insist we are?

    Firstly, there is nothing wrong with being a telsher. You don’t need to be defensive about it.

    Secondly, because you lived south of Peterson.

    The unvaccinated are only as safe as they are because the other 95% of the population is vaccinated and the diseases are harder to catch.

    True. But once you idiots are vaccinating, why should I subject myself to the unknown risks.

    The Midwesterner lives in Peterson Park. (Well actually I’m south of Peterson so we call it Hollywood Park, but no one ever heard of that.)

    Nobody lives south of Peterson except the telshers, who live by Foster.

    So either you’re a telsher or nobody.

    in reply to: investing in gold #814331
    popa_bar_abba
    Participant

    Gold has been going up, and is hyperinflated.

    One thing to keep in mind, is that the returns now are not nearly what they were a couple years ago.

    See, Gold today is about 1800. If you bought it at 1500, you made 300. But, that is only a return of 20%.

    On the other hand, if you had bought Gold at 1000 and sold at 1300, same 300, but 30%.

    Vaccines are bad.

    There are known health risks. It does not take a huge leap of logic to imagine there may be unknown health risks.

    you obviously still care or you would have told us!

    Because if I tell you, I can never untell you. But if I don’t tell you, I can always tell you.

    Then I would need to make up a new persona, and start over cultivating the personality I wanted to be perceived as. And it would need to be different, or everyone would figure out it was me anyway.

    Time is not the issue. I have been hypersensitive about personal info on this site since I started posting.

    I think the reason is that I didn’t want my comments to be judged through any prism, just for themselves. At this point, I’m not sure I really care.

    Working is quite normal among chassidim.

    Not to mention El Al’s respect for religious Jews.

    El Al is the worst.

    I was once flying, and I was seated in the exit row. Across from the exit, is the folding bench where the flight attendants can sit down.

    Well, for the first few hours, multiple passengers came and stood there for a few minutes at a time to stretch their legs. The flight attendants didn’t mind.

    Until I got up for shmone esrei. This was what they had been waiting for. The guy pounce on me before I was finished with the second bracha (I daven fast), and starts making a fuss that he needs to sit down and I’m in his way.

    I finished davening right there with him going beserk.

    I personally, am too frum to go into the women’s side during the beddekin, but I do go in to get food.

    The difference is clear- nobody has time for women when there is food.

    I think that is why they put the food there. It is so that any guy who goes in to meet girls will get distracted by the food.

    Y’know, when I got married my only request i asked my father & shverr was to please even out the food by both sides of the mechitza so that there’s no taruvos.

    I was at your wedding, and I still went to the women’s side.

    How was I supposed to know there was going to be food at the men? You should have put a sign in yeshiva.

    Somebody has to work the grid, otherwise you will have major problems

    I am taking issue with this.

    Either it is allowed, or it is not. If the halacha is that Jews can work the grid, then we would do it. If the halacha is that Jews cannot work the grid, then we will not.

    You seem to think that “Somebody has to work the grid, otherwise you will have major problems” will outweigh the halacha.

    Of course factors of pikuach nefesh are part of halacha, but I can assure you that chillul shabbos will never be permitted just so that you can have light in your living room.

    pba: No reason to suspect her husband. He is probably another of her victims.

    I think there is reason to suspect her husband. It is most likely that someone is picking on her, and that is why she is so insecure.

    It is possible that it is one of her parents, and she picks on her husband as well.
