I have also heard that some people don’t play with fake money on Shabbos and also that it is muttar.

Do they still sell the standard monopoly?

i may aswell ask how once cen get rid of an addiction?

It’s not as simple as getting rid. You need an enormous amount of willpower, and for proper addictions, the help of a trained professional that specializes in treating addictions.

There are many people who actually work on Chol Hamoed. They physically go into the office like on a regular day. I think it used to be more common years ago than it is nowadays.

but anyone out there can answer: why do you want to work in a kiruv camp?

I never did, so I don’t have first-hand experience. But, it can be very rewarding and an opportunity to make a difference in many different ways. However, depending on your position in the camp, I might suggest getting at least a bit of basic training somewhere first. The camp itself might offer training for staff.

Profanity or not, it’s definitely offensive coming from a Yeshiva Bochur. Or Bais Yaakov girl for that matter.

Cool. Glad you’re back 😉

Hope you’ve had a beautiful Yom Tov!

why do people (read “Yidden”)

FYI, It’s not only Yidden.

that just because their neighbors are not Goyim they can build whatever they want, whenever they want,

Is this somewhere in Israel that they don’t have Goyim neighbors?

without permits for no one will inform the Dept of Buildings, right?

If they have a permit, does that change anything for YOU?

Mmmmm…. I guess this doesn’t frustrate anyone after all then. Perhaps I’ll just go ahead and build a monstrosity all around my property too then. No one would DARE stop me, would they?

That would probably help you, don’t you think?

Just out of curiosity, does it also bother you when people drive with an “expired” license? Does it bother you when people build “driveways” without a permit?

How about, duplicating music CDs? Does that also bother you? I’m also guessing that you don’t ever speed while driving, and never double park.

Just as a caveat, nothing I said here is to justify the above scenario or the examples in any way, shape or form but you seriously need to re-examine why something bothers you. I highly doubt that after you *honestly* evaluate this, your answer will be *the law*.

(Somehow your post doesn’t seem so sincere. And you don’t give the impression that you are concerned about the LAW here. Just saying.)

She has a good memory and therefore doesn’t need to rely on lists so much. Me thinks.

Shopping, so far you got 16 replies on this thread of yours. Sounds pretty neat to me!

This is a very busy and often stressful time of year with a lot happening at once. Hopefully it’s only temporary and things will get back to normal for you. Good luck 🙂

I don’t get it too well. I think this minhag of fathers in law going to the Aufruf should be absolutely abolished.

FWIW, I think so too.

It is a bad example to set for young and impressionable children. They should say that her teacher or his Rebbe set them up.

How absolutely outrageous. Like Torah said, you’ll have to give a cover story to everyone you know so that this unbelievable craziness doesn’t get out.

Not a good idea to be untruthful to children.

Syag, of course not. I was just genuinely happy for popa.

42, awesome name. You should totally trademark that.

If your female cousins are fat, then by all means tell them. 😉

But the main problem is that they came over to my house last night and my kids saw them. Before we could discuss it, they told my children that they were engaged. I was upset because they knew that I wasn’t thrilled about the whole thing. At the very least, in MY house they should have asked me before they announced that they were engaged. Now am I supposed to explain to my kids how they met?/

Hmmm… They must have their own etiquette handbook.

But as far as your children go, I don’t think they’ll ask anything. Just be as nonchalant around them as you can manage and they won’t think into it too much. On the other hand, if they perceive you as anxious or uncomfortable about the engagement, they might start wondering about it and then start questioning you.

I agree with jbaldy22, I’ve seen that a lot myself.

The OTD phenomena existed a long time before the worldwide web was in existence.

Although, I’m not trying to minimize the dangers of the Internet.

WIY- I should have warned you that the parchment paper will be more time consuming. Anyway, so firstly, trim the paper to pan size, that way it cannot float around. If you’re putting it directly on the oven rack, trim to fit the rack.

Placing the paper on the “wrong” side helps it stay in place because it won’t roll up so easily.

Also, the paper will turn brown and you need to replace it after every use. The paper will not burn though.

Also, make sure the paper doesn’t touch the sides or the back of the oven.

Wishing all a wonderful Yom Tov and a sweet, Gut Yohr. May we all have a meaningful davening.

At this time, I would like to ask my fellow coffee room members if you are mochel me. I sincerely hope that I didn’t hurt anyone’s feelings here during a disagreement or conversation. If I did, I hope you’re mochel as it was completely unintentional.

Mochel lach of course, and I don’t think anyone ever hurt me here.

Ksiva v’Chasima Tova!

Truthsharer, give us directions please 😉

It’s raining?

Instead of: Is it raining outside?

Bump!

Beautiful style, fkelly. VERY poetic!

Thanks for sharing.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that. I’m not musically illiterate and many of my friends who listen to rock/metal also are not musically illiterate. It’s all about your tastes.

Burnt Steak, you can’t compare rock to metal. It’s just not the same. (Unless you meant hard rock, then maybe that’s similar.)

I hope you have a school guidance counselor that you can turn to for help.
