stick youw fork into da pickle on da light!
i remember having read one of those handouts from shul with a halachik discussion about receiving a forged bill, and if you could demand to be repaid…but not the conclusion.
The storekeeper actually is legally supposed to take the bill away from you if it’s forged, i think. Someone i know once took it back though and brought it to a bank where they told him it WAS real but looked like it had gone through a washer n dryer, so had shrunk a bit and looked off. He exchanged it for a fresh bill.
i thought apples make you hungry…
a lot of people are focused on the positivity of early reading. Just to keep in mind, if a child learns to read at home, he may find himself bored in class- which can lead to misbehaving, not enjoying school, etc.
eggs, humus, nuts, peanut butter, yogurt, cheese, avocado, meat, fish, whole grains too i believe (check your cereal boxes!). Start your day with protein- that’ll keep your full and kickstart your metabolism. Someone mentioned thirst presenting itself as hunger-i’ve definitely heard this and been told to have a cup or 2 of water 30 minutes before eating. If you find yourself eating a big dinner, take a 20 minute break halfway through and you may find yourself fuller.
there are things that make people feel worst in the morning but ok later on in the day. Maybe he’s not sleeping well and really feels not well in the morning. Maybe he’s suffering from a bout of IBS which is worse in the morning. Why not be dan l’kaf zchus? If it goes on, just ask him what he would like to do about your seder- if he wants to cancel or wait til he’s better.
those who come for #1 have problems with 2,3,4… Those who come for 3,4 have problems with 1 and 2. Those who come to troll are #5. Ah, the beauty of a machlokes ๐
hey sb- i found the article! In the last spot i could think of :P. I have to read it again to summarize it, but its called the CBT methods, and is suppposed to start making a difference in a week. I’ll let you know what it says
pirkei avos
yeah instead of buttered toast, try warm milk. Same effect, said to work, and heealthier. Or chamomile tea
ditto that for me…
(hugs)
i dont think most people think you are making up excuses. And nobody can judge. Life is tough… But the challenges are what life’s about. You sound like you are rising to the occasion and overcoming ,any of the challenges that you face. You ace your tests! Don’t overlook it, not everyone does so well. Keep it up, you are inspiring! May Hashem help you in continuing to come out of your nisyonos successfully and stronger
snowbunny- if you leave here, let it be from your own decision and desire, not someone’s criticism. I love reading your posts for one! And if you get anything from cr, stay!
dont get into the habit of pulling all nighters :(. Go walk up and down steps til ur tired n go back to bed
you don’t have to be transfixed to see something and not be able to get it out of your head. Simchas torah last year, while waiting for some people outside shul, i was unlucly enough to see some man emptying the contents of his stomach. I quickly turned away and crossed the street, unfortunately still had to hear him as he continued retching, until some men helped him walk off. Disgusting scene haunts me- NO alcohol on simchas torah besides a cup of wine/grapejuice for kiddush as far as i’m concerned!!
i assumed as much :). I found a reference in my emails. I just have to try to find the magazine now. If any other poster has old mishpachas and can look it up, please do! I cant guarantee i still have it
mishpacha march 21. Now i got to find it ๐
yes you can put shiurim including from torahanytime on your ipod or mp3, just plug it into your computer and drag those shiurim into the music folder or the like on your player. Music too if you have! I listen to music or shiurim while traveling every day. When i need to study and the music is disrupting my concentration, i turn it off but keep in my headphones to block out the outside music and noise
everyone tries to avoid drunks, but they’re too wobbly and slow to get out of each other’s way
get a reference, so ur not wasting any money. Hope it helps!!
now THAT is a good idea
sb- massage therapy or physiotherapy? How about chiropractor? (yep, i’m a believer!). If not though, you can get an hour session of massage therapy (not massage) for $50-$80. In e”y, if you can find one of the massage school there, you can get a student massage for $25. If you’re interested ๐
first purim since my brother moved himself out… And no he won’t be joining us for the seuda, thanks. Sighhh ๐
did you tell him all his advice was worthless and he should keep looking for solutions/diagnoses??
Sometimes insurance will cover (part of) massage therapy.
I’m still searching for that magazine, no luck yet. After only sleeping 2 hrs last night, i was trying to think up what sometimes helps me, though nothing yet works always. Here’s some i came up with. -Focusing on my breathing. Your breathing is deeper and slower at night. Sometimes consciously doing it makes my body relax. -cooler temperature in the room. This is a biggie for sure! Cooler temperature will also slow your body down. – usually what keeps me up, if i analyze it, is my mind is wide awake and rushing. Clearing my mind is my best bet always, but it takes effort. Either just dismissin any stressful thoughts or schedule planning, or by focusing on something plain, like imagining myself on a beach or a walk, and thinking up all the details and not allowing stray thought in. Or, this is hard to describe, but really blanking my mind. Imagining just blackness, or a hole, or white, and nothing else, focusing on it, again not letting in stray thoughts, then shutting off my imaginations drawing so i only see the dark behind my eyes… I know, that made no sense to anyone but me :). But it works for me pretty well and quickly too.
abcd2- yes, i think the cross is a problem, and other religious symbols. I am also disturbed by the nun costume. But the knight costume, that may have been when they were at their height, during crusades, but there were knights of other times and kinds, etc.
๐
and to you and all of the CR!
wiy- some are translucent, some are pretty or completely opaque. They are just skin colored so you might not know that
whaaaa? Similarly noone should dress as a king with a cape and crown, because almost all the kings of the past were anti-Semites, promoted pogroms and crusades, were advised by the church, and exiled or murdered countless Jews.
so we have 3 different definitions of bais yaakov schools so far. No wonder we all disagree :). For the 4th, i was defining bais yaakov by the schools that call themselves a bais yaakov school
evidently :). Are you trying to fill the cr page with your sn???
and i thought only popa bumps shooooo many threads when bored ๐
wouldn’t you be if you lived in a garbage can and ate sardines all the time? ๐
another all nighter? that can’t be healthy :-/
almost all my friends and frequent acquaintances give me nicknames. it doesn’t bother me, BECAUSE they know not to use them in public settings where i would mind, such as at a wedding while talking with a former teacher, etc :). but if you mind the nicknames, it may be ossur for them to call you by them, and you should say something. there’s no less affection when using your real name. the fact that they tried it does show a comfort level tho.
now nicknames for you…. ๐

yep, that’s all i’d come up with!
a woodchuck would chuck a chuck of wood if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

๐ haifa’s getting an awful lotta attention here lately!
can you not change them after the first 5 posts or so? It’s confusing.
I don’t mod every start-of-topic post, so I can only change them as soon as I see them. And I try not to change them too much. I’m sorry that it bothers you.
some mod’s been having fun with purim shtick, adjusting many thread titles, not just this one
purple, you see the letters above the notes? Those are the chords. The words of the song start from the A.
snowbunny- no, it’s likely not neurological. But a sleep test could be helpful, though if your issue is insomnia, i’m not sure it’d help. I’m waiting to go for a sleep test myself :P. Glad you got a long night’s sleep though! Maybe it’s the boost you needed to remind your body to sleep more.
and obviously very bored, by the number of your own threads that you’re bumping
which mod has been playing around with the thread titles and why? o.O
it’s actually kinds confusing when you’ve been following a thread for a few hours/days/weeks and it’s suddenly not there
Also 73. I was just trying to neaten things up (and maybe make haifagirl hate us a little less).
ari-free- but no different that receiving milk chocolate after a hamburger
