    whats the difference between corn beef and corned beef?

    Corned beef is a piece of beef, usually brisket, which has been salt cured in specific ways.

    Corn beef does not exist.

    My roommate in yeshiva married a girl who was just finishing midwife school. (or whatever sort of thing you do to become a midwife.)

    Wait, you confused me.

    Standard logic is that when crimes are committed with legal guns, that argues for more gun control laws- since perhaps the guns would not have been in their hands if it was illegal.

    When crimes are committed with illegal guns, that argues that gun control was ineffective and so is pointless, and if anything makes it more dangerous for the law abiding who are unarmed.

    You are adding a twist that perhaps the penalties are just not strict enough.

    In NY, criminal possession of a weapon has 4 degrees, and ranges from a class A misdemeanor to a class B felony. The penalties range from a maximum of one year on prison to 25 years in prison. Additionally, most offenders will usually fall into at least the second level, since if you have previously committed any crime (and illegal gun owners probably have), it is at least 3d degree which is a class D felony.

    What would you like the punishment to be?

    Time to crack down on illegal gun possession and impose a very strict sentence.

    Oh. Were these shootings committed with illegal guns?

    No, you should not feel guilty.

    The fact that others have it worse makes absolutely no difference to you. If it is hard for you, then it is. Telling yourself that your feelings are illegitimate because others have it worse is not healthy, or what Hashem wants.

    I think it’s pretty obvious perfume for a man (or cologne or whatever it’s called) is assur.

    If it was obvious, you wouldn’t have to say so. You would just say it is assur, and cite to a source.

    There are several frum dating websites.

    I think the most yeshivish one is saw you at sinai.

    Oh. I get it now. You want to be a physical therapist.

    Yes, it is fine for a beis yaakov girl. It is even a great job. But it takes a pretty long time and is a hard program. Just a heads up on that.

    Think about Occupational Therapy also. My friends wife did that, and apparently half her class at SUNY downstate was frum women. (There was one frum guy, and one arab guy, and they would always partner up since neither wanted to practice with the women.)

    Hmmmm. It looks like your question is not really about sheltering the kids, since they will be learning it all from the classmates in school.

    So, the harm of learning about this stuff is already done.

    So, what is it you want to teach them now? That this stuff is improper to talk about?

    Everyone says I’m “strong”-what in the world does that mean?

    I don’t know about anyone else. I say it because I see the parts of your life you have described for us, and see you still alive and living and generally going on. I call that strong.

    It doesn’t mean you can’t ever feel like you want to give up, or actually just decide to give up for a while. That is a perfectly normal response to the situation you are in. I call you strong because after that, you have shouldered on so many times.

    It doesn’t mean now you are strong so you have to be able to handle everything. Whatever you can’t handle is fine- that is normal.

    Seriously, if you can’t go to school, I don’t blame you. Is there another option? All options should be on the table here. Who can you discuss these options with?

    blabla:

    I don’t know anyone who would have the energy to face your world.

    You are incredibly strong to face it in your way, to whatever extent you can. You don’t need to win every time, Hashem only expects us to try. And obviously those for whom it is harder don’t have to accomplish as much- since their “smaller” accomplishments are really much larger.

    coffee:

    It is a favorite story of mine.

    I don’t know why, but I never saw that quote in the weekly parsha sheet, even though it is yiddish.

    I’ll try and track down the story and find the name and exact details.

    I am right with blabla on this.

    Teachers may not know what is going on, but if they would begin by respecting all the students it wouldn’t come to this.

    They shouldn’t be screaming at anyone- it is assur, and highly ineffective anyway.

    Blabla is precisely correct. Teachers “should assume though, that every person has challenges and they cannot judge.” Of course they must try to maintain order and have students complete assignments, but if they would understand that with every student they really have no idea what is going on, blabla would not have had this experience.

    I recently heard a story on a tape where a school in Israel had decided to expel a student, and went to, I believe, the Chazon Ish to get permission. (Or another gadol of similar stature.) The gadol asked them what the family life of the boy was. When the school administration responded that they didn’t know, he yelled “rotzchim, get out of my house.” (In yiddish of course.)

    Anyway as far as the girl whose heel fell off – what did you want her to do?

    I want her to act natural! Say “Blazes darn it! My heel broke! I can’t walk! Popa, we need to go back to the car right now.”

    And then chew me out a bit for taking her on a boardwalk in heels.

    popa_bar_abba

    I think what popa is saying is that single people can help you avoid marriage.

    I’m not entirely sure what I was saying. Part of it definitely is that what sounds neat and obvious isn’t always so.

    On the topic at hand, I’m not as convinced as the OP.

    Singles have a lot of opportunity to observe different couples, and see how they interact (like at shabbos meals). I recall once spending shabbos somewhere and knowing before kiddush that the couple did not like each other- which is probably why they had tons of guests.

    Let me tell you, there were plenty of times I was single and eating somewhere and the hosts could have sure used my advice. Maybe I didn’t understand as well as I could have, and maybe I didn’t even understand as well as them. But in that moment, they should have been paying me.

    Also, often not getting married is because you understand how relationships work and know the relationship is not working.

    Dating other posters?

    Sometimes I can date other posters based on the things they write, like if they are asking about seminary they are probably like 18, and if they are asking about nursing homes they are probably like 80.

    But some posters make it hard to date them by not posting information that lets you make inferences about their personal life.

    Whenever I was on a date with a girl who was wearing heels, I would make sure to take her on a boardwalk or a cobblestone walkway, so I could see how she would react if her heel got stuck.

    I had one whose heel snapped off and she just kept walking as if nothing happened. I thought that was ridiculous.

    I had one who broke her ankle and literally made me call hatzala instead of just giving her a ride to the Emergency Room. I had even called over a random shiktza to help her hobble to the car but she just kept yelling for hatzala.

    Girls are so weird.

    You learn things about people when they post. I think you’d be a step ahead with them if they post, and might already know it is a good or bad idea. It could go either way- as it should.

    It is not tznius for women to vacation at all. It’s even worse with her husband. She should stay home with her daughters while the husband and boys vacation

    Forget tznius, the women always ruin the vacation because the take forever to get ready, and then are afraid to do anything fun.

    But, it is important to bring them because they make the sandwiches.

    So I say bring them and leave them at the hotel.

    It is dergrading to refer to something that you don’t like as “retarded.” Mental retardation is a disability.

    Firstly, I don’t “not like them”; I just think they are stupid.

    Secondly, who said anything about mental retardation? I meant flame retardant.

    Sorry ladies. But the vast majority of you just cannot drive worth beans.

    I know plenty of women who have been driving for decades and still avoid the expressways and get intimidated by normal driving.

    So while Danica Patrick may get offended by our generalization, the bottom line is that 16 year old guys have more confidence behind the wheel than their mothers. And should.
