Also, if we’re really sharing tips, you should only take 295 on the way back when the Gap bridge is free. On the way there you should be on 95.
Popa, at any time they could put a toll plaza on the re-entry ramp. Of course, I’m talking about stopping us from taking the two minute detour that just skips the toll. You’re right that you could bypass the entire road, either by slow roads or on rt. 40 (which is a slow road too), but that is not worth it.
That is a perfect example of why I hate GPS. I discovered that trick 30 years ago and no one wised up to the stupidity, but now that every idiot can effortlessly do the bypass I have a feeling it will be stopped.
Chamira sakanta m’issurah!
I can’t believe all the cr poiskim are debating trivial points. Ladies should not be driving our bnei torah for one reason only. They are lady drivers! Safety first!
If anyone has to get on a bus that is driven by a woman, let it be girls, who don’t learn torah anyway.
It’s mefurash in the Tos’ in zevachim where R”T shitta is brought down that it is in reference to a specific latitude, namely that of Jerusalem (the location of the beis hamikdosh).
Now that we have established that, just what latitude exactly did you think R”T lived in, and why do you think that most people live closer to the equator? New York is farther north than, say, France.
Sounds like the fabrication here are the facts that tou, I mean jou, have presented.
Derech- I was addressing it from two possible angles: 1) It’s not what Hashem wants 2) It’s not in the nature of people to accept that.
If Hashem wanted it, then we would have to rise above our nature. In this case it is no different from giving money to homeless men on the subway.
Derech, so you think that Hashem made a world intending for its inhabitants to waste 23.5 out of every 24 hours? A person such as you describe is clearly not doing what Hashem wants. It is also the nature of hardworking people to not sympathize with good-for-nothings. So there’s no tzad to say anyone supports such a case.
Because if there was such a thing as fat horses and skinny horses, Paroah’s dream would not have needed cows.
I was going to say smile as you turn the thumbscrews, but looks like I got here too late.
Zeesy, because not even the author claims it is true. He claims it is a hybrid of 3 true stories, but cherry picking details doesn’t count as truth. Plus, its quite obvious from the story that its fiction – some third person omniscience, some responses that are completely unrealistic, etc.
Waiting in line for carpools, or at school soccer games?
Don’t worry about these children, they have a bright future. Haven’t you seen the signs on the highways that say, “slow men at work”?
Sam, please accept my apology for that comment last night. If anything was baseless it was what I said about you.
Solid proof that the guy in the bas kol is older. Why does it say “bas plonis”? Because she hasn’t been born ywt, so she has no existence to mention. Therefore, she is refered to as the future daughter of somebody real. But it is “l’ploni” – he already exists.
He’s probably at least 11 days old at that point or he’d be called rach. So there is a solid year age difference right there. The bas kol seems OK with it, too bad for AZ
Sam, are you sure you don’t have to go back and listen to some online shiur again? Usually your first assertion is completely baseless.
That proves something important. Guys who are pushovers will end up with the damaged phobic girls. The guys who are leaders pick from better crop.
See, this is why we have a shidduch crisis. The girls are simply not good enough for the guys, thats why they are left in the cold
Are you joking? How could you take pills without knowing what they are? It sounds a bit cheap for Speed, but how do you know that it isn’t that or some other habit forming drug?
Lol. These threads are always a race to see who can answer fastest. Everyone after that just looks silly. I bet the mods purposely hold off on approving responses until there are a minimum of 7 identical responses 😀
Square what is inside the parethesis. That makes 9m^6. Now multiply by 4. Tada
apy- no doubt, but AZ is clearly willing to sacrifice sanity for the mission, as he has demonstrated here for years. Let’s just be sure to keep ours, eh? Trust me, you are far from alone in the way you feel about this.
Less to do with being a girl than being a cholov yisroelnik. No jewish donuts worth eating 6 of. And Franczoz doesnt count because those are tiny, youd need 6 boxes.
Also, because you used precipitate as a verb. Who does that?
Popa, my turn to get answered!
Did you sing the lchayim song with us? I didnt notice.
Good advice costs nothing, and it’s worth the price.
Maskim 100%
Romney 2012, right? Feh
But you got the right idea. If you drive up through the Bronx and take the Saw Mill up you can connect with 84 toll free.
Coming from Monsey you pay a toll to get to 84
Will you tell us how to go from Long Island to Scranton without tolls sometime? Its easy, but not worth the 1$ savings.
No, the short people aren’t hobbits and the grotesque ones aren’t orcs. Its just inbreeding.
lol, popa got a new subtitle. How nice of the mod to just take my suggestion like that! Thanks!
Popa, no hard feelings I hope 🙂 I’ve had “driving in the car with popa” TTTO “Lucy in the Sky” going through my head for two days now.
How do you stay in the drive thru all day?
Its a blonde joke. Like, duh.

Mildly Retarded
Since you are all the second word of my current subtitle, I have decided to tell you some of my secrets for driving.
Request for Mods: Can you please modify popa’s subtitle again, slightly? I’m looking for something where the second word changes…. for humor’s sake in posterity. May I suggest, “Rarely Decent, Mildly Retarded and Eccentric”? It will be fun. TIA.
Indeed I did not click on the links. What gave it away?
Call me arrogant if you will, but I feel that I have nothing to learn from google maps about driving in the ny metro area. I could do either route in my sleep (and I have, once).
Touche if you had stopped there. But you did yourself in with the “besides”. Only a real OOT hick redneck Rube would think that the times on google maps mean anything in NY. Now I doubt that tou’ve ever driven in NY. Its a one minute difference if you are in post apocalypse NY. Otherwise, its plus 60 minutes or more.
Toll on 87 buddy, unless you plan on riding local streets down from the Dunn.
The traffic on the free East River bridges and FDR that you will encounter isn’t people doing your route. You are the only one going that way because any chochom will pay the toll and do the direct route. Sorry.
No shaychus. Pre campaign.
Let them marry their siblings…….
ROTFLMKO!!!!
POY
GAW – fine, replace moetzes with the nesius.
popa, I like your posts, but your analogy of obesity doesn’t work. I’ll give you 2 reasons right now. Then, after you’ve spent your energy trying to discredit my reasons, I’ll force you to start over again by giving you more.
1. Obesity is harder to hide. Plenty of girls marry smokers unwittingly, name me one guy who didn’t find out until sheva brochos that he married a fatty.
2. I saved this one for second because I know you’ll like it. The guys’ campaign is only successful up to the chuppah plus ~6 months. So unless you are advocating that part of the girls’ campaign is to allow every husband to start smoking one the first child is on the way….
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Variety is the spice of life.
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man miss all the nightlife.
Don’t cross the bridge until you come to it.
No use crying over spilled milk.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Beauty is only skin deep.
SG- thanks, but that line is definitely HTBT. Especially since the post I was responding to has been deleted. Unless you’re just trying to flatter absent posters into making an appearance… good job then, and keep at it!

Instead of criticizing, why don’t you be helpful and suggest a tire chain.
I wouldn’t dare suggest a tire chain. As always, consult your LLM (local licensed mechanic). You shouldn’t accept a ruling from CR lay folk.
Once you’re done quoting yourself, you can move on to quoting more worthwhile comments, such as my first in this thread :p
Feif Un
Proud Modern Orthodox
You are completely wrong! If anything, Modern Orthodox keeps halachah the way it was kept for thousands of years!
Yes, but which thousands of years? And by whom? Care to be more sepcific?
“p185/ 65 R14”
Ahh, now I see the problem. Of course you can’t drive a pinwheel in snow at any decent speed. So you’re problem might be that you need to get a snow car, not snow chains for your “car”.
