Random question – why do all kids that I have observed when playing on a trampoline always jump clockwise? Is it a righty/lefty thing or do they all do it? Or do lefties jump counter clockwise?
arwsf I think that bull was a politician so it came charging at you thinking “al gore her”!
It must have been a pretty large barn if it had an isle within it. Unless, of course, you meant an aisle. What a load of bulloney. A real scary tail to be sure. With the bull contemplating charging at you and thinking dairy charge or dairy not charge. No grey areas, everything only in black and white. How you escaped nobody nose. The bull could have been after the two calves it could see on your side of the gate…! I’m not sure why you felt the need to ruminate this story but I’m pleased to see you here in any event. Post here more often. Dont be a cow-ard.
If a certain beloved poster returns here it will be ‘a real simcha iy’ hashem
the new british highway that just opened likavod the most frequently posting mod here had red carpet rolled out along it in his honor and so was known as ‘red motorway 42’
being addicted to both coffee and the coffee room was too much for one poster. The ‘co-effect did a’way with him, unfortunately
after they realized that nuts brought for nosh were discoloring their school bags, whenever a brown stain appeared on a bag, the kids exclaimed ‘O! egoiz dye’
the General Headquarters were very cramped leading many employees to develop a limp in what was referred to as ‘GHQ toe’
on hearing a good joke I tell the person to ‘tel gez 1’
I dont know if he is descended from dovid hamelech or not, but I heard that his driver was called ‘chauffeur shel moshiach’
Thank you
Bump. Whats his current matzav? Can anyone please update. Thank you.
I’m sure he thanks Hashem more that he was not born when you were!
I went into a shul today mid morning for a minute to take something in, and it was deserted. The only person there was a man in his seventies being maavir sedra in the back row. What a beautiful sight to behold.
Slowly and peacefully, with complete tranquility, he was lovingly saying the words. Without disturbances. Without worries. Without phone calls (could be he does not even own a cell phone). Without text messages. Without emails. It was seemed obvious he felt that he could not be disturbed.
By contrast, many of us nowadays are rushing all over the place and even when we do sit to learn or to begin doing something, we do not have the tranquil state of mind that this man had. Rush, rush, rush, rush, rush. Grabbing something to eat while on the phone, replying to emails and answering our kids all at the same time. We have so many labor saving devices but we are an instant-reply required society so we pressure ourselves to fit too much into too short a time, without being able to enjoy any of it or relax.
So I ask you, who has it better?
You Know You’ve Been Spending Too Much Time in The YWN Coffee Room When….
…after spending too long in my shul’s coffee room by shacharis shmoozing and watching other people argue and I realize its time to go and I look for the log out button instead of the door ☺
20:
The Jews in the desert were counted from the age of 20 to 60 for various events.
ZeesKite I sometimes do that when the CR is a little stale and boring and I’m looking for a few good threads to inject to change that. I did it yesterday also with the Sefiras Ha’omar game, the s(h)morgasbord thread and a couple of others.
What else was better in the good old days?
For most learned and truthful advice to posters who’ve posed halachic dilemma(s)

but… what is a goq?
It is what we call a poster whose screen name ends with the letter ‘q’. Can you think of any others?
19:
The number of brachos in ????? ????.
The number of years in a leap-year cycle
(good old eclipse wrote last year… the number of beer bottles left on the wall after 20!)
Mike very nicely written. Anything to strengthen ahavas yisrael is a worthy objective.
EVERY Jew has a neshama, whether ffb, bt, dati, chiloni, shomer/mechalel shabbos, gadol hador or otd. We are ALL and equally banim lamakom! The fact that some of us are nearer to our father in heaven than others does not make us any more a son than them. We may just be a better son. And what could be more pleasing to any father than for someone to bring his children back onto the path he wants them to tread. But brothers we remain nonetheless. And we should treat each other as such. Which means not to look down on those who live a different lifestyle to us but to try to be mikarev them if we feel this is necessary AND TO SHOW TRUE LOVE TO ALL JEWS IN ALL SITUATIONS. Halivay!
tzaddiq you obviously have internet but do not seem to have an electric kettle!

…when you decide enough is enough and you take a 3 year siesta from the coffee room. Welcome back kitzur_dot_net. You’ve been idle for 3 years! Hows the kitzur website doing? Funnily enough, your last post 3 years ago was about closing the coffee room.
a lot of organs & organ systems get smaller as we age
Strange. As my kids grow older, my back pocket appears to be shrinking
Write a novel and became a billionaire like JK Rowling, then popa_bar-abba will marry you.
That must be inside information. I never knew that popa and JK Rowling got married
I just added a bag of mini marshmellos to the chocolate chip cookie dough I made. First batch is almost gone
Sounds just like my house. You did not say that you succeeded in getting the dough into the oven. So I assume that when you said the first batch is almost gone you meant eaten raw off the tray on the kitchen side. As I said, sounds just like my house! The stomach pains are so worth it!! Mmmmm.
Interesting yet enticing shidduch resumes
The shidduch resume really WAS enticing. Just look who it enticed… Welcome back Sac!!! Great story!
You’re a stable 6? What did you buy? Horse shoes?
Dont forget greevin!
I have heard of and even tried most of the above ingredients in my cholent and enjoyed them all. It also depends a lot on whether you use gas or electric to heat it, how long it is on the heat for, and how much liquid you have in it (yekkish borne zuppe or chassidish stodge).
These are all ideas for a GOOD cholent. For a SUCCESSFUL cholent however there is but one factor: having none or at least limited kiddushim in the neighborhood on shabbos morning… ☺ ☺ ☺
not a mod: that has already been invented – by dr middos…
Truth is it really HAS been invented. Its the yetzer hatov. This is what calls us and warns us every time we do something that we shouldnt. If only we would listen out for it more and follow it.

Great story Rosally that goes to show what is common knowledge that the prayer for finding lost objects really works. It is tried and tested. I would use it more often but I cannot always find the prayer… ☺
Something that would keep your home tidy, do your cleaning and washing, put the kids to bed and prepare your meals. But it would be something that you could have more than one at a time so not something that you have to marry first…

Matzos are called lechem oni
But look at the price – it’s baloney
They are so expensive
Making us apprehensive
So no wonder they make us so moany
They are called the bread of the poor
Cause they leave you with much less money than before
The dough must not rise
But the price? Lets be wise
Every year it does rocket and soar
Mod 88: LOL!
A friend of mine had a virtual band fitted thru hypnosis and he’s lost so much weight. But it plays havoc with trying to eat the shiur of matzo on seder night within toch zman achilas pras. He cant do it.
