Actually haven’t opened Photoshop in a while. I’ve started using Painter and Illustrator (which I am using for class). AND AUGH ILLUSTRATOR CS6 IS THE CRASHIEST PROGRAM EVER. T_T All I am using is pen tool and fill, and the thing’s crashed MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT.
It wasn’t developed by the firefox people was it -_-
Sam2 – thank you . that is what I said too, isn’t it?
Just get me out of here
Abba – what if the child is an immature jerk? 🙂
feif, morah and others –
I used to feel just as you do about the stupid things that come out of some posters keyboards just as I felt when I listened to them spew in real life, but then I learned to take the high road. Not only do I not respond (actually I usually respond and delete the post before sending), but I have stopped reading the controversial threads, and have stopped opening threads that have certain posters names listed. It has made a tremendous difference, IRL and on the CR and I recommend you try it. That way you won’t have to deprive the rest of us of your thoughts and you won’t have to suffer this type of pain of galus. If you think you just can’t leave their words unchallenged then think of this – 1) they aren’t listening anyway so your words won’t help, and 2) sheker ein lo raglayim, and stupidity probably doesn’t either.
If being an immature jerk is not what Hashem wants from you then perhaps that would be reason to consider it a chillul Hashem. I don’t think it’s about them stereo typing, I think it’s about whether or not you are properly representing Hashem’s people.
Either way, what do you gain from it anyway? Are your friends immature jerks too?
5 is really too old for a childto be hitting his parents IF the parents have clearly established boundaries. If, for instance, the child is not reprimanded for yelling at the parents or talking back to them, he may not understand that he can’t hit them either. (still not right but it would mean different things)
jmh – how ’bout ‘against your 2’ ?
Do you want a new subtitle for yourself or are you suggesting for someone else?
speaking of refined and mentchlich, I would hardly imagine Rabbi Miller would ever speak like that.
How ’bout something like – He’s a poet and we know it ?
OOM – clarely?
HI MOSKI!!!!!!!
I went out with a guy who had been married for three months. Supposedly his ex forgot to leave her parents behind when she got married. After an hour on the first date he asked me what my dad does for a living and if he would support us.
Some people have issues separate from their being divorced.
Think first – I am so excited for you. And if your ability to write translates into an ability to communicate your feelings, then you are starting off your marriage ahead of many! Hatzlacha rabbah, you should have the strength and wisdom to build a bayis ne’eman b’yisroel.
esther – I wouldn’t say absolutely. Our rav definitely does not allow one dishwasher to be used for milchik and fleishik even NOT at the same time. There are other opinions on this.
I think the yeshiva he works at got a “social networking” filter put onto their network so he can’t post anymore.
GOQ- If you are out there, send up one flare for “I’m fine” and two flares for “Help!”
OOM – you are surely one of the chosen ones
I think the only word he said more times than ‘tumult’ was ‘Israel’
With all due respect(honestly), rude and condescending posts, regardless of whether or not their content is accurate, are equally if not more disturbing to me than misspelled posts are to you (all) but there are ways of saying so. . .
Regarding the OP – I don’t have any glasses, I broke them all over time and opted for plastic replacements.
Wolf – and you? how did you get out of dish-duty?
Happy birthday oomis. Amen, and may all your tefilos be miskabel letova (sorry to plagerize but I couldn’t have said it better myself)
May you have many more years of health and bracha surrounded by your wonderful family.
Thanks for clarifying. And I certainly didn’t mean for anyone to accept my psak, I only intended for others to know what was said so they can look into it further themselves. See oomis’ response, however, for my response to your response. (Except for the funny part. It speaks for itself).
I asked a posek,
Sorry, but I think you’ll need a better source than that
I don’t know, I think asking a posek is pretty much all that I need to determine if something is okay or not.
But I will be sure to let the Rav know that he made a mistake about the coffee and grounds being a mixture. I’ll tell him someone on the internet mentioned it so he should re-consider 🙂
Seriously though, if someone tells me that their posek said that something is okay, instead of telling them it is wrong, I would probably say that I am not sure I understand their ruling.
And I am assuming you were being funny about the brother-in-law comment but just in case – I did NOT say I asked a posek WHOM is not someone’s brother in law. I said that I asked a posek, as opposed to just asking a random yankel for his opinion.
I don’t understand the klei revii part but that was what I was told.
42 – you moved to the midwest?
I am too female to remember all the details but I DID ask and was told that coffee through a filter is NOT borer. The only thing I remember is that the water goes in and comes out after passing thru the coffee. They were never considered a mixture. If you had grounds boiling in a pot of water and THEN passed it thru a melita, THAT would be a problem. (and btw, I asked a posek, not someones brother-in-law). The kli revii is necessary for the bishul aspect.
The issue is not bentching, it is the sheva brachos. I am a little surprised that most posters seemed not to be aware of that.
shlishi – you have got to be kidding.
With mixed seating, inevitably, you will have men sitting next to — and shmoozing with — someone else’s wife.
That’s why I actually seat the guests in their specific seats, not just the tables. I make sure that singles and bachurim are only sitting next to ugly people or those with poor hygiene and the married people can sit with each other with an opposite sex sibling between them and the next couple. All improperly dressed guests are placed on the other side of a divider at the back of the room. It has worked well for us this way.
“Oh, and WIY, once Via and TC French Roast were mentioned, there was no point in continuing the discussion. :)”
Yup. I was gonna say I’m with uneeq and oomis but then DY said it too. I really don’t like instant but if I have to on Shabbos morning (not enough room in a thermos for my coffee, we used to do that), it’s TC French Roast, and lots of it. My friend leaves a pan of coffee and milk on a seperate blech over shabbos for “shabbos coffee”. It is soo good.
boys are cheaper and they don’t usually get lice. that’s the real reason people want them. I personally am grateful for everything Hashem has given me and could not imagine thinking of any of my kids as anything less than a miracle and a gift.
Dash – I am right there with you. This is so offensive, can we close this thread please?!
Anything that could possibly make any man have any illegitimate thoughts about a woman should be outlawed.
that’s why I advocate for frontal lobotomies and shock therapy on all post pubescent boys. It’s the only way to keep ALL thoughts at bay.
oomis – I’m glad you haven’t. I often look for your posts and always look forward to them.
613, I have a guy looking for the same thing but he adds ‘happy’ and ‘fun’ to that list. Where should I tell him to look for you 🙂
We had a mixture at our wedding. Those who wouldn’t be comfortable were seated family style. Those who were single and wouldn’t be comfortable in mixed seating sat separate. We had all the tables centrally located with the separate male and female tables far from each other on either end of the group of tables. The dance floor was at the end of the group of tables, instead of the middle, with the mens dance floor facing the tables and a mechitza across so you couldn’t see the women on the other side. It worked out well.
Here is something from Fox news:
“The 2012 vice presidential debate was sometimes a 2-on-1 fight, with Biden and moderator Martha Raddatz both interrupting Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan repeatedly. … Raddatz took a liberal tack . . . and let Biden control the debate tone by never shutting up. …
[Her performance] was far from excellent. When Ryan pushed the point about useless government pork spent on green jobs, Raddatz interrupted him just as he was asking Biden about the alleged 5 million green jobs the administration had vowed to create.”
who’s off Sept 1 – 15th ? And we never end before June 21 or later.
Oh, sorry. I was in the room when someone else was watching it online. I don’t think I can explain it briefly but the moderator seemed to cut off Ryan alot and the phrasing of the questions plus her tone gave the impression she had strong leanings toward Biden. I was listening, not watching, so the tone was pretty pronounced. I would assume there are many editorials much more eloquent than I who could give it over better.
TLKY – seriously?
I was so stuck on the moderator’s obvious bias that I couldn’t concentrate on anything they were saying.
yitzchokm – lol
GAW – no. I was just mentioning it in answer to those/he who asked. It has made me very sensitive to the needs on ‘both sides of the fence’ and every day on the first day of school I used to bring lunch to the administrative office staff in appreciation of the work put in from their end just to get the doors open. Whether or not I agree with their process or not is a seperate issue from appreciating their work.
Sorry for the tangent –
OOM – I can’t hear you, I think your server crashed mid sentence. Can you repeat that?

I know this is not a main point but in this thread it is a recurring side point – I personally am tired of sending my kids to school for longer hours and more school days just because someone else don’t want to pay a baby sitter. I LIKE having my kids home. My kids NEED a break from school and I consider the time off to be crucial to developing a relationship and passing down the families values. Regardless how I fund that, someone’s need to have them in school should not override my need to have them home. The school year should not be set up to give less childcare days to working parents (which I am). It is already too long (both the days and the year) and should be set up to serve the best interest of the kids and their teachers.
And btw, I did open up my own school (a pre-school)and it was great but when the teachers insisted I pay their childcare in addition to their higher salaries I couldn’t make the budget work.
And as a personal aside, I am very thankful for that extra isru chag day off so I don’t have to stay up til 4 a.m. getting the laundry done and the learning program sheets filled out while I am cleaning up from ‘yuntiff’.
Curiosity – Thank you. You actually commented on what he did wrong and how it does not go along with our Torah’s teachings. Somehow everyone else figured out exactly who this individuals teachers were, how they behaved, what kind of other people he surrounded himself with and came to the conclusion that much of klal yisroel is responsible and is just like him. Baruch Hashem this type of banter isn’t a middos issue or a lack of shmiras halashon or we would all be just like him.
Mazel Tov! Kein Yirbu (?)
OOM – I don’t disagree. I was just trying to be dan lkaf zchus that he wasn’t insulting anyone.
You got me thinking though, I am not really sure where I stand on this whole thing, I have boys and I send them to shul when they are ready to daven but not before then. My daughter used to go to shul every week but doesn’t always. Even if she doesn’t go, sleeping in is not an option. Do I think she should go? I’m not sure anymore. Whether or not she is helping me isn’t really the issue, whether or not she davens is. And depending on what you do/think/hear in shul, maybe staying home isn’t so bad.
I beg to differ. If those were his thoughts as it happened, than he was popa.
OOM – when he said they were in shul instead of sleeping in or wasting time, he meant (I am SURE) the ones who DON’T make chalupchas and stuff. He didn’t say being home was wasting time, he said that that is what some of them do at home.
Baruch Hashem
Have All Orthodox Jews move to a specific area in the US. . . . hmm, why not Uganda?
(If I was gonna move, it wouldn’t be east )

haifagirl – that was really funny!
P.S. We always think of you (more than usual) at this time of year.
