Wow. Thanks. In that case, I’m done posting for the year. Because there’s only one direction to go…
asdf – azah veibisher zach fer ir? Darf men trinkin vi a mensch!
SJS, nothing could be farther from the truth. Improper use of the internet harms marriages, families, friendships, and more. Not just the person who uses it.
Of course it’s a joke. I wouldn’t go off topic, at risk of my life!
Haha! Isn’t it llamas that do the spitting though?
I like dogs, but I wouldn’t want to own one. I don’t like the type of maintenance they require. Cats on the other hand, maybe. But I really just meant to say “pet”.
No, this time it’s Yiddish, which I don’t normally spell with Latin letters. I could reword it in Deutsch, if you’d like, or I could just translate. I said that we must have a bit to drink after the fish. So I make something that everyone can stomach (though I myself stick to good ‘ole Maker’s Mark).
feivel received a Forum named for him. Maybe we can get a sub-category under kosher cooking for ames and mazel77! YW Moderator-72
What would you call it? Ames’ and Mazal77’s wacky creations? I’m not sure either one of them would go for it, unless they don’t notice it after you change the foum name to something less demeaning (which still shows in the URL).
And this just goes to show that no one is here for meaningful conversation. If more frum people had dogs then we wouldn’t even be here (:
now there’s a good signature! A BLUE smiley! Good one, ames.
Spontaneous generation.
I see the comparison between internet and smoking. Having the internet is a risk. Smoking is a risk (I allow the argument that smoking is not an inherent danger because some smokers have no problems). Who is to say which risk is higher?
The question is, what is your risk appetite? Hopefully, it is low for both your neshama and your health. The difference is that the risks associated with the internet are completely within your control. The risks associated with each puff of a cigarette are out of your control the moment after you take the puff. Blind banning of the internet means that we do not trust anyone to exercise control. Blind banning of smoking means that we recognize the fact that the risk cannot be managed.
Jello shots (az midarf hubbin a bissel bromfen noch dem fish)
right, asdf, she probably goes to Closeout Connection in Timbuktu.
I don’t even trust them for the rest of the NIGHT!
ames, by not responding to you I am in no way ignoring you – rather, I read your post and have nothing to add.
Since all we’re seeing posted is random spam these days…..

Why do banks charge a fee on ‘insufficient funds’ when they already know there is not enough money?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars; but have to check when you say the paint is still wet?
Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Whose idea was it to put an ‘S’ in the word ‘lisp’?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes? (specially for GMAB)
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, ‘It’s all right?’ Well, it isn’t all right, so why don’t we say, ‘That really hurt, why don’t you watch where you’re going?’
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that’s falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends — if they’re okay, then it’s you.
teen, that’s no big deal. Stop by my house on your way home and I’ll cut you a check. (It’s less than 1/8 of what I just signed onto a few days ago).
But those other things, are not so easy.
The greatest computer that was ever built does not need to sleep. No matter what time zone.
Errr, make that the 2nd greatest. (:
teen – that’s called blaming other people for your decision. You decided to cut back on your observance. The fact that other people gave you a bad taste or did something to turn you off doesn’t actually make you go off – it’s just an outside factor and you decided how much weight to give it. Your choices are to react by rejecting religion to spite those people, or to continue being religious despite them. Believe me, they won’t get any credit for what you do despite them, so don’t think that by going off you avoid giving them satisfaction they would get if you didn’t.
And, as I said before, it’s a new decision every day. So what you decided in the past doesn’t affect your ability to decide now (though it might make the decision more difficult to follow through with). My advice is find people you like and avoid the ones you don’t (sounds soooo simple, no?).
Very fondly. But the new building is much nicer (still new, even after 25 years, right?).
You won’t meet me in the mik. Chances are, you never will. Now, if the Gabbai was promising the cholent to be extra hot…. you can be sure I’d be wherever that is!
Why send the papers? Just post all your financial info right here!
Absolutely. I do it as a favor for many people. But I am not legally allowed to prepare it on your behalf, so you have to take responsibility for the accuracy.
… and here’s another one for SJS to appreciate (all of these can inspire meaningful conversation).
There was a young fellow named Fisk
Whose fencing was agile and brisk.
So fast was his action,
The Fitz-Gerald contraction
Diminished his sword to a disk.
There was a young lady named Bright
who traveled much faster than light
She left home one day
and in a relative way
returned on the previous night.
Said the Bright one to her friends in a chatter
I have learned something new about matter
As my speed was so great
much increased was my weight
Yet I failed to become any fatter.
teen, let me clarify. You cannot blame others for your decisions or your actions. Abuse can cause serious psychological problems. I do not say that the victim is to blame for those problems. We are talking about two different things.
Curious, not as a service (:
ames: I’m really sorry that I made you feel that way – of course I read your posts. And I thought that I resonded to them when it was appropriate – if I didn’t it was unintentional.
SJS – you might be able to blow my cover from a different angle than Joseph did. I really don’t think anyone else would be able to pick up the trail he did.
areivim, my relationship with Joseph goes way back. In fact, I started posting on YW just for the fun of arguing with him. It was pretty neutral until he was offended by a comment of mine, and threw a barb at me. After that, we cleared the air and have been buddies ever since. What’s even funnier is that he and I are lumped together as two of a kind by so many other poster when it is so far from the truth. However, you and I have always had an amicable relationship, so you are clearly at a disadvantage. (:
lunch?
613 posts! Is this a coincidence?
moish, you are laying blame at the feet of others instead of accepting responsibility for your choices. You are not ignorant. You know what’s what. People can and do spend their lives blaming others for how they turned out. It’s bogus. You control your life, no matter how badly other people may affect you. Only you can decide how to react to what other people say or do. Do you really think that you are the only person who has had a bad experience with a rebbe?
No matter how much of a bad influence he was, no matter how much motivation he gave you to do a 180 on your life, you are still the one who did it. You also blame hormones; are you the only one with hormones? You chose to follow your basest needs and wants instead of battling against them and standing up for what you know is right. That was and is your choice. I say “is” because it is a decision you make every day. Tomorrow you can decide to do a 180 again and if you don’t you are deciding to continue what you know you don’t want to do.
And don’t go back to saying “squeak doesn’t like me” again (another teenage cop-out). You know I do. This is what we call “tough love”. (:
Basically, everything is relative. For one thing, the human race shares all the same ancestors. So no matter how careful we are to avoid interfamily marriages, we can’t avoid being related, at least slightly, to everyone in the world.
That’s in general. Special relatives are a different story. Everyone has them, and everyone knows who they are.
Hope that answer satisfies. Now, can we talk about meaningful ways to bring about world peace?
Joseph, unless YW doesn’t comply with FAS 158, I see no evidence of Curious having a pension.
I imagine that the glamor of this thread disappeared when the prize failed to materialize 🙂
both, actually.
cute how you guys are so protective of the dear editor
I don’t need to think to figure out what you meant.
SJS, switching professions after a job loss makes it more difficult to obtain a replacement job in the same field.
Exactly. Though, as an engineer your alternate career opportunities are unlimited. Everyone is an engineer of something nowadays (e.g. a product packing engineer)
ames, it wasn’t Yiddish, it was Deutsche.
areivim – I’d let you know, but I’m having so much fun with it, I can’t stop. Just count to 5 and it will be done. I find that I have nothing objectionable to say anyway, so I really could have written everything in the first go.
It’s just more fun this way.
moish, glad you recognize the strategy. It also works for giving baths, washing dishes and driving carpools (drop the first one you wash, and take the kids to get ice cream on the way home).
I want them deleted. Just give me a second and I’ll tell you which ones.
Natuzzi is sooo gawjis.
Hey, SJS – why aren’t you here shrieing about the violation! Cubans in this country? Do they even have work permits?
Well, coffee is a diuretic, so it’s possible.
moish – that’s an accomplishment! The best I’ve ever done is burn a salad. That was the last time anyone ever asked ME to make dinner 😉
Whoops. So moish, do you prefer to get your milkshakes with a minyan and no hat, or biyechidus with a hat (so noone sees it)?
