    Klazno- we heard what you say. But please bring a source that its assur. Please dictate straight from Halacha to us…

    Mosherose- that doesn’t mean A THING. There are many CHUMROS that people, including rabbis take upon themselves. But it is a chumra, and not Halacha and therefore the whole kahal can follow if they are part of that kehilla.

    Mosherose- please bring a source that there are some things that you may not do with your wife.

    Look into a shulchan aruch and you will see that everything is muttar to do with your wife, except of course halachos that are forbidden.

    Mixed swimming is forbidden, but if a couple ALONE is swimming- its muttar.

    ???One day my mother was out, and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 years old.

    Someone had given me a little ‘tea set’ as a gift, and it was one of my favourite toys.

    Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of ‘tea’, which was actually just water.

    After drinking several cups of my ‘tea’ and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my mom came home.

    My dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was ‘just the cutest thing!’

    Mom waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy; and she watched him drink it all.

    Then she said, (as only a mother would),”Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet…..?”

    Good to spend time with each child individually b4 bedtime. I put it one at I time and spend a few min beforehand shmoozing with each one.

    But the rule in my house is- once you’re in bed- you must be quiet. No more stories! They will wait for the next day!!

    I do have some but don’t want to identify myself!

    All I can say is that Shomrim is an amazing organization with volunteers who are really ready 24/7.

    May Hashem protect them like they strive to protect us.

    Any bad word against Mosherose and his Krumkeiten is deleted. I decided that Mosherose is a mod…

    mosherose is not a moderator and about 50% of his posts have been deleted. You’re seeing his more moderate ones.

    Mosherose- the HALACHA states that meat that is handled by non jews NEED TO HAVE TWO SEALS and you MAY eat it.

    The delivery boy that brings my fish/butcher orders is also a non jew.

    U DONT HAVE TO BE SMARTER THAN HALACHA AND U DONT HAVE TO COMMENT ON EVERY SINGLE THREAD.

    Hello kitty- I find ceasars to be pretty old and spooky. For this price you can get much nicer hotels. One thing I loved about it was the private pool in the room.

    While everyone Davens that he should be freed, not everyone agrees to free hundreds of terrorists in return for Gilad.

    Yes, he is a precious Jewish soul, but is it worth for many other lives that these terrorists may take once they are freed?

    That’s the problem here. If we go out in protest, we are stating that Israel should do ANYTHING to get him free, even if it means getting 1000 animal terrorist out loose.

    This business of not calling a wife by her first name comes from a segulah. There is a segulah(no, I don’t know the source if anyone can help me out here please) for aruchas yomim if you don’t say her name.

    That brings many to say “hernor”(hear please) to get their wife’s attention.

    But this is really not common practice.

    I for one, want my husband to live until 120, but I wouldn’t exactly appreciate being called hernor…

    It is not a typical minhag among Chassidim to eat separately.

    I don’t know any Chassidim like that. I’ve only heard some very Rebbish or Frum people doing that.

    Attention coffee”rumors”:

    Its time you learn the difference between Chassidim and some ULTRA ULTRA Frum people…..

    I agree with happy123. A marriage where one spouse doesn’t give enough love IS a reason for divorce, but, ONLY AFTER everything possible was done to help.

    The couple must seek professional help and try to work it out but in no way do they have to stay together if the spouse at fault doesn’t change.

    So right- you are NOT SO RIGHT at all with all your questionning.

    While I also think its not right to hang around with a boy for years, I don’t judge anyone who does.

    To put it simply, it really isn’t your business.

    And if any of them chose not to follow Halacha, do you really think they will listen to your little mussar here, let alone admit their wrongs?

    I think I would be very offended if I were them…

    “My world is teh torah world. In the torah world we dont waste shabbas afternoon playing games with no meaning.”

    Moshe-

    You didn’t answer my question. I asked if you always do as you preach here on YW.

    I also live in a torah world but I do play games and I do other things which you yell NO to.
