147: is that why we have children – to have someone to look after us in our old age?

There must be a bajillion threads on novel suggestions…
If you dont like reading (as implied by saying that you cant be bothered looking thru the many excellent suggestions on those threads) then why are you looking for books to… er… READ!???
Yunger true true!
ICOT Great list! Really good. +1
wolf hi nice to see you again!
for real: as terrible as xtian persecution was thru the ages with tach tat and all the crusaders, they ‘only’ murdered Jews in their tens of thousands tops. Whereas the Nazis YMS”V murdered at least 6 million and possibly up to 10 million. So zahavasdad’s 1st post is for sure the better option.
There was once a thread a couple of years ago like this and one answer still sticks in my mind. Someone said they would go to Dovid Hamelech on his last Shabbos and say to him “Watch out for that step!”
You forgot to mention the Spinka Rebbbe, and the Spinka Rebbe, and the Spinka Rebbe
Lol. The story goes that at a recent Spinka Rebbe’s son’s chasuna they had to hire a bus and a minivan to get there… the bus for all the Spinka Rebbes and the minivan for all their chassidim… Truth is there are HUNDREDS of rebbes. Look in any of the weekly picture magazines to find names that are useful to be used during a vision test. But what’s the difference. What is a name already?
M in israel very nicely written post.
bpt 2 points. If you rewrote your initial post several times, how come you left in the phraze “I have zero sympathy”? This was the harsh, unnecessary part of your post which otherwise was saying we should have much more sympathy for those with no children than those with ‘only’ one or two. Secondly, most kids wont know their parents are davening for more kids and anyways all kids I know, even from larger families, want a new baby sibling so would be happy for their parents to daven for more.
Didnt you know that Goq is short for Goqie. He just usually abbreviates it for convenience. Obviously. Because there is no such word as Goq. Have you ever seen Goq in a dictionary? What are you like? I mean this is basics, Syagie!
kingdavid hi and welcome. I dont remember speaking with you before. Very interesting. Do you know why according to the levush is it the father making that brocha when it would seem more appropriate for the son to be making it if it is him not being punished any more for his father’s aveiros?
yungerman1 the word isnt sheptarani either. Its she-pi-torani (sheva na, not sheva nach).
Mazeltov Goqie on this thread passing 150 posts
I was at a zoo recently and saw a large sign over one of the enclosures that said “DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS”.
At first I was concerned for the poor, sad little things. How can they possibly survive without being fed? Will they become an endangered species or even extinct? So the zoo keeper assured me that trolls do not need feeding. They are totally self-sufficient and find their own substanance from the most remarkable places. But if you feed them, they will, like any other animal, keep coming back for more. Even so, they are very hard to tame. In fact it is nearly impossible to de-troll a troll and get them to think and function as regular human beings.
So heed the warnings of the experts…DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS!!
Er HELLO GumBall you have disappeared again!!!!!!!!
A Rabbi drove into a gas station and had to wait in line for a long time. The attendant, appologising to the Rabbi for the wait, said that he had found that in his job he met many people that knew they had a long journey to take but left all the preparations for it to the last second. “In my profession too” said the Rabbi!
Welcome back RedNails19. You are not, I hope, an alias for bpt…??? ?
Goq reckel is german/yidish for jacket. A long, knee length jacket such as the attire of most chassidim is known as a long jacket or a “langer reckel”. If it has 2 buttons on the back and a slit up the back, with one corner rounded off to exempt it from tzitzis as many litvishe gedolim wear, then it is known as a frak.
Mazeltov and happy anniversary Mod 20!!! My 5th YWN anniversary is next month believe it or not. Thanks to you and ALL the mods for all of your underpaid, overstressed sterling work!
May I ask the mods to please award themselves proper subtitles. It can be very hard to differentiate between all the mods who only have numbers in their screen names, whereas giving yourselves subtitles would make it easier to tell you apart. Thanks.
Zeeskite I’m confused. I came already and had all your skeletons laid out neatly by your front door. Oh no. Dont say I went to your neighbour by mistake. Do you live at number 45?
Matsav were those guesses or do you have a source or a svara? Some of them are correct.
This one did not even make the Laffy Taffy list:

Pink fluff.
What is blue and fluffy?

Limerick writing is really divine
We’re now up to limerick 698

Who can tell me which 4 nissim in mitzraim did not last 7 days?
Zees everything has ebbs and flows, waxes and wanes and the coffeeroom is no different. There are good times and there are other times. Do you consider good times when there are lots of trolls and stalkers making trouble or when posters call each other names and insult one another. Or do you call good times when posters are content IRL and have no need to go online to find relaxation and time outs. You decide. And if you dare to disagree with me I’m warning you I’ll come round to your house and I’ll take out all the skeletons from your closet and I’ll… I’ll… I’ll GRRRR!! **#!!@* (Better now?)
Man 1: My mother in law is an angel.
Man 2: You’re lucky; mine is still alive.

My mother in law was banned from poker. She kept putting the chips on her shoulder.
Hey thanks for stopping by. Good to hear you’re settled. I remember my rosh yeshiva telling me that there are many different opportunities in Israel to do things for Hashem and for yiddishkeit, but that I should not forget that I am there only for the torah-learning aspect of it and should not be involved in other things eg hafganot etc. Keep shteiging!
Aunt Blinky a big mazeltov to you
On the birth of your darling nephew
It was gorgeous to hear
Of the news you did share
And we wish you your own simchas too
crazybrit: maybe obelix is looking for a ‘menhir’? Or perhaps he did something criminal or illegal and has been thrown into ‘gaul’? You know, the place where you can ‘getafix’ for practically anything. Or perhaps some of the keys on his typewriter broke off and he is looking to replace them as he finds it hard to punctuate sentences without his ‘asterix’ present?
I dont know. Obelix where are you?
I made this one up a year ago
In the absence of recent additions, I’ll re-post one of my favorite ones from last year
In the unfortunate absence of Minyan Gal, (where are you?), Minyan Guy will have to step in so here goes:
In the sedras of ???? and ????
The jews had a ????? ?????
??? went to the nile
And ???? he did rile
When he asked to be let out ?????
In this weeks sedra called Bo
He again asked “Let my people go”
Cos if you dont then takke
You’ll receive another makka
But the stubbon king just said “NO!”
So H’shem sent in swarms of locust
that covered the ground like dust
They came with a gale
Eating the remnents of the hail
???? said “Please remove them, you must!”
So ??? davenned and they went
and ???? he tried to repent
But he could play no more part
cos H’shem hardened his heart
So to free the Jews he could not consent
Next came darkness – no sun’s rays
And believe me it was more than a haze
The dark they could feel
It was such a big deal
That no Mitzri could move for 3 days
FInally ??? did warn
Of the killing of every 1st born
Bloody doorposts showed whose
Were the homes of the Jews
Every Mitzri, even ????, did mourn
???? ran out in his night dress
But could not find ???’s address
So the kids they did play
Sending ???? astray
They had fun with his Royal Highness
Suddenely ??? he found
But when he said “GO NOW”, ??? frowned
They went only the next morning
???? chased without warning
And into the Yam Suf they drowned
The lesson from all this is clear
At my limerick dont sneer but cheer
Writing this is gr8 fun
SO come on everyone
But please dont put it off till next year!
Ideally each observant home should have two washing machines and two dryers
I thought you were going to say one for those eating milky and one for those eating meaty…
Am Yisrael Chai: sofa = ???? ?
Thats amazing and so true! When I sit on my sofa on Friday night, that’s the end of me!
Sam2: good thanks
Mod 42: a rather sheepish reply I thought
So cute… My little daughter said that she loves the new cd. Which one we asked. She replied slowly – of the My Yummy Boys Choir…
Yes you missed bombmaniac, but dont panic, it seems he’s just disappeared again…
coffee addict I love your new subtitle “Once killed a Troll with his bare hands” . Just noticed the subtle change. When were you awarded it?
??? ???? does NOT equal 7 days as a ???? is not 28 days but 29 or 30.
With regard to my second question, ???? I found an answer in a gevaldiger ??? ????? ????? on the ???? by ??? ??? of ???? ?? ???: ?? ???? ?????
??? ???? ?? ?? ??????
I was looking thru the ?????? to find ??? in why ??? ??? is called ?? ??????, and more puzzlingly, what could ???? mean when he writes that ????? ???? ???? ?????? ????? ???? ?? ????? , how on earth does that fit in here by saying ?? ?????? refers to ??? ??? ???
Answer to everything: The ??? ????? says that even though another 3 ???? were coming but this one would be equal to all the PREVIOUS ???? brought so far as they got progressively worse, with ??? ?????? being the worst. This is why it called the current plague ?? ?????? (though according to that logic, every plague was worse than the one preceeding it so every plague could have been referred to as ?? ???????) This explains the order of the ???? and why ?? brought the first two plagues before ?????. Obvoiusly ?? was not as bad as ????? which was not as bad as ????? so it had to be in that order.
And my question why not bring ????? first to show that even ?? + ????? were not down to ????? but from ??, the ??? ????? continues that ???? was convinced that all the ???? were ????? and not from ?? – even by ????? when his magicians told him ???? ?-????? ??? he just assumed that ??? ????? were even greater magicians and could create something on a level that even his magicians could not achieve. Only by ??? ??? did even he have to admit that it must be from ?? as it was bringing hail and fire down from the heavens. This could only be ???? ????-??.
A vrey vrey wram welcoem bakc to a logn, logn missde postre:
hi form everyoen to ‘teh bombmaniac’ !!!
Sam thanx for your answer but my question was if the pasuk says the makka lasted 7 days why does rashi give a different time span saying it lasted for of a quarter of a month which is longer than what the pasuk says.
Also, if it took makkas kinim to force paraoh’s magicians to recognize that it came from Hashem and not kishuf then what was the point of bringing the first two plagues before kinim?
Oh I so did not want to post here when I saw that am yisrael chai was the last poster. Why remove his name from the last poster column. But here goes:
I used to think very highly of russian dolls, but now I think they are very full of themselves.
