i gotta wonder and ask. Mods aside, how come any males are reading this thread passed the OP? 🙂
oom- i’ll back you up on it! It’s more than okay to write like that :). And thanks
what the mod on duty said 🙂
but Certainly we can all read those posts that are in text language, but that’s not the point.
why is that not the point? this is only a forum. if you wrote in pig latin because it was easiest for you, most wouldnt complain. and again, not all the posts are actually written for all. I can name a few posters who’d rather some readers skipped their posts than tried and commented only on the spelling :). just skip the posts that bother you. I skip most threads here because their content bothers me. i can’t say i understand all the text posts but i just skip that. yes, some basic legibility is necessary, but if it can be read in less than triple time, why not?
dy- phew! Thanks 😀
42- would you care if she was taller than you? How about 10” shorter? 🙂
dont worry though, not all girls wear uncomfortable shoes and not all girls wear high heels; not all high heels are uncomfortable, nor are all flats comfortable
haifa- you’re a fan of P-Language. But thats not the used language. The e-language is what is used by the general populace. Maybe i just lean towards sociolinguistics over the ideal pure language standards, or maybe as (at the risk of exposing myself…) a language major, i’ve just learned that the standard based on the politically and economically powerful and the stigmatization that comes with deviation is unfair and unbased. what is stigmatized today becomes tomorrow’s standard, for example the verbs text, blog, email.
also, there are varieties of language used in different circumstances. the way one speaks to his friends differs from how he speak to the president, how he writes an essay from a letter to a cousin (and both from speech), etc.
I dont think its fair to be setting a standard at the p-language level because it will be cutting off and blocking out some posters. that is a decision only the ywn editor could make, alone. to request no text talk is one thing, to pull up every typo another. and even within that, if the mods can understand a text-like post, it may be directed to a specific other poster who also understands it, and i dont see reason to interfere with that. it may not be understandable for all the posters, but neither do i understand all the halacha debates or discworld discussions. so i will skip the posts i can’t or dont want to read, and go on to the next. if you cannot understand a post, you can ask the poster to repost. but if despite the errors, it is understandable, why interfere, unless it is in jest and taken that way. (yes, anyone who would like to find my grammar and spelling errors in this post has my permission 🙂 )
no
that helps for blisters from stiff or tight shoes for sure. But a bruise i’ve never gotten on the back of my ankle, and 4 weeks sounds a bit much. The only shoe bruising i’ve experienced was on top of my big toe from a bump inside my shoe. And that ended up turning into a bunion, so definitely not worth risking.
t613- no, that’s not usual, and doesnt sound good. Especially the 4 week bruise. i’d definitely suggest not wearing them again as is. maybe all you need is an insert/ sticky cushion for the back. but you should not be getting bruises from your shoes. dont take shoe pain lightly. you can really be damaging your feet, possibly permanently
ohoh! I want snow on hills for sledding! I wana go sledding! I need to convince a friend to come sledding!
t613- i’d assume for advice and support and hotline numbers. there used to be a lot of simple support on this site. search for the “attn poetry people” thread
“forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace”
find the ones who are merely benchwarmers jobs they can do
snort is a noun? 🙂
purple- sorry to be confusing, but i was here first! :)! Here’s how to differentiate: i have capital letters in my sn, i dont label myself super :), and i think i’m the only non-highschooler. Hope that helps!
tell it to my wife. She started it.
maybe if you offered her some brew, she’d start sharing too
isnt the food in your freezer yours too? and your kids :)?
you don’t share?
first line was abt t359. It should have good battery life. But you need to check reviews from people who have used it, probably on the site you’re looking to buy it from. Cuz the venture had an ok battery life from the tech specs, but users said it was a bad battery.
pba- snort
oomis- it’s actually the clicking on the unsubscribe (or any other) link in the email that is traced. So even unsubscribing and not entering an email address is a bad idea.
If someone gets a bunch of spam on the same product, eg free cigars, its simple to put up a filter through your email program that will automatically delete emails containing the phrase ‘free cigars’. Another point, if you have the option of labeling spam vs deleting, if you label it spam, your email will learn to identify those an similar emails as spam and keep them out of your inbox.
yserbius- playing violent video games?? Thats a healthy outlet for overwhelming stress?
thats good battery in theory. how it runs is another story.
on that link it says the venture has BATTERY
Talking Time: 4 hours
Standby Time: 12.5 days
but if you look at the reviews, they are really not so great, and it has a 1.8/5 for battery, so i’d avoid. i dont know how the smiley matches up in reviews- check the site you’re looking at it on.
i have a nokia e73, doubt its still available, but its a qwerty, not touch screen, and its got a pretty good battery life.
there’s a great website for tech specs reviews on cell phones if you’re concerned about battery life and keyboard etc, good for comparing phones. GSMarena -give it a look.
Battery life tho: t359 aka smiley- 5.5 hr talk, 300 standby(whistles!)
venture i cant either find
if he yells at you again for something you didnt do, raise your hand, wait til he stops yelling (even if he doesnt ‘pick’ you, just dont interrupt) and say, i’d like to learn, i’d like to attend class, but it is becoming very painful for me and more difficult, and i would really appreciate a chance”. dont say you, focus on yourself in how you word it. and i would go back to your parents and principal if he is still yelling at you now after this all, when you do nothing. you shouldnt have to endure this anymore.
ignore the request, don’t accept it. Also, if they ARE finding you by searching, you can change your security settings so that you are not searchable in the first place.
what’s he doing? are you still not going to his classes? or you are, and that’s how he’s still upsetting you?
my brother just bought the shmerlings a few weeks ago and labeled it disgusting…
It is time in these forums people start to see the good in others and not all this negativeness…… Torah Yidden try always to look for the good in other Yidden So in conclusion if it is okay with you please raise the bar here a notch or two or three.
+2 for a friend!
achosid- stop doomsdaying the bird’s life. Your thoughts on it’s fate weren’t requested and arent being appreciated
i don’t have a response, but this is a very interesting question! Intriguing and debatable. Hope your pet recovers quickly!
pba- why didnt you say s/t to him then?
😀
oom- i’m afraid you no longer have the longest subtitle :-/. at least u got ur grin back!
thanks for the compliment golfer (blushing). I’m not actually so new around here though, i just tend to be quieter. Nice to officially be introduced tho!
DY- thanks. Dont let yourself get pulled into this one tho! Not worth it
my sister in law never danced with me, but i blame it on the ‘blur’ not her
:'(
it was a rhetorical question. Why is 30 the cut off?
superme- what was thudded before spellcheck? You are right, he may have done much worse, but 2 wrongs don’t make a right. He insulted you, dont insult him back. Be above that behaviour. I’m so sorry its so hard :(. (hugs!)
how old do you think i am?? I dont quite think i need my parents permission to blog here. I just sincerely hope you don’t/won’t criticize your teen kids the way you sometimes put down the younger generation of posters here.
loshon hora or rechilus
zk- i’ll second that. I wish women in boro park good shabbos and have gotten some silence, and many wishes back.
But no, dont wish gut shabbos to the opposite gender in bp. I think this is a safe example of where minhag hamakom may come into play 🙂
DR- i meant ask a rav whether it matters, what to do in safek, and abt e”y vs your city. Those were all questions you posed also in your OP.
Veltz meshugener- well, sooo sorry to be a cause of embarassment to you. Glad you feel we should all know better than our rabbanim who to give tzedaka to first
Rav Avigdor Miller said to do like Ms Critique did actually. That when the non-jew comes collecting on the train, you should give a penny or a nickel and make a kiddish Hashem, but not to give more, for there are Jews who need the tzedaka as desperately.
not all those limos are full of kids at risk. You should talk to him about drinking/ saying no etc, then let him go if you think he’ll level headed enough to not send himself to the hospital drunk. Find out who he is going with. You may be surprised to find out its a good group
health- why oh why do you need to include an insult?? Just answer if you’d wish and keep the insults and degradations in your head. Please!
superme- you are 100% allowed to be upset, but please watch how you speak, there is going to far by insulting or cursing out someone. Ask the person you’re speaking to if you should speak to the principal and tell her you’ll be calling maybe. I don’t know how much anyone can do to try and make the rav apologize and i dont know if anyone can succeed if he doesnt want to apologize. Even while you work on fixing the situation, you should work on accepting it and realizing you may never get that apology. If it comes, good. If it doesnt though, you’ll be a step ahead in being past it.
luna- ”it is plain rude to ignore someone when they speak to you.” i do not greet men with good shabbos personally. However, if he initiates the greeting, i do respond in kind though!
Feel free to take me to task on this part, but i dont greet strangers during the week, whether male or female. I will sometimes smile or nod, but thats it. Shabbos is my exception in ‘don’t talk to strangers’, so i greet females, but not males or non-jews. Maybe thats just my comfort level though.
”i am sorry for your loss”?
no, it’s not a realistic solution. Did you call any of the numbers? They should be able to advise you or give you some ideas. Try it, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain. G’luck!
