I though this was a well-known fact — didn’t even need to state it.
As Brooklyn, in general, is less expensive than Five Towns / Queens shopping.
The FrumguyParticipantBoy, did this thread head in a direction I did not intend it to go. I was just looking for a video editing program.
The FrumguyParticipantYou’re still one of the most entertaining, humorous posters in The Coffee Room.
The FrumguyParticipantIn which shtieble were they “preying”? I hope they made up the minyan.
The FrumguyParticipantFor every ten miles per hour of your speed, there should be one car length.
The FrumguyParticipantIsn’t the free download just for a short trial period?
The FrumguyParticipantI’ve tried MovieMaker and it seems to add a dark look to the finished product. It takes away from the “live” feel of the video.
The FrumguyParticipantAre we allowed to name names? This sounds as though there is tachlis – to help in not hiring such photographers.
The FrumguyParticipantHad they gone with the TRUE date of the Siyum, which is really Thursday, there would be no problems or worries. Why make it a day earlier?
The FrumguyParticipantI think that the certificate itself is without charge. Only if you want it framed & laminated is there a $36 charge. Please check it out.
The FrumguyParticipantIt’s more efficient when you need to be on the Lower East Side. Sometimes the Brooklyn Bridge is closed so you have no choice.
I believe the toll at the tunnel is more than $5. I only use it when:
1) I need it for work
2) I’m running late
Hatzlacha with all your travels.
The FrumguyParticipantWhatever Hashem sends us is for the good.
The FrumguyParticipantI finally got treated (by my wife) to a new Keter non-slip and it does the trick beautifully! Thanks for all of your recommendations.
The FrumguyParticipantThere are no daggers involoved at all. I’m just wondering (once again) if helping couples have babies merits our giving Tzedaka monies. It’s not like we’re returning a “lost object” under the category of “dei machsoro.” If a married couple wishes to have children under grueling, expensive circumstances do we have to “give in”?
The FrumguyParticipantAt the end of an opera, there usually is a finale with the star of the cast (usually the women in opera are “slightly plump”) singing the last song. So the expression “it ain’t over till the fat lady sings” means that the end of the performance (or anything else) is signaled by “the fat lady singing.”
The FrumguyParticipantI’m not sure “Dey Machsoro” applies here. Many families are “lacking” things – I return to my mashal of a swimming pool (by the way, I’m not really thinking of doing it). But if I felt lacking in cooling off during the summer, would that also be Dai Machsoro?
Tomchei Shabbos does much more than just put Challahs and food on the Shabbpos table. For some families it is pretty close to Pikuach Nefesh.
And I do know first-hand what “these couples are going through.”
I reiterate my brocha that all their Tefillos should be answered for what’s best for them.
The FrumguyParticipantWhen our Maggid Shiur is not able to be in the Beis Medrash, we use Skype to hook up with him to learn.
The FrumguyParticipantI put mine under my tallis bag until the end of davening or until I can get to the back of shul to throw it out in the garbage can.
I also find it quite disgusting (for lack of a better word) for mispalelim to leave it on the table to have it glaring me in the fase during davening and many times “forget” to take it out after davening.
Yasher Koach for bringing it up L’Ma’an Kedushas Beis Hakneses.
The FrumguyParticipantThe Siyum Hashas – not even close. I put in 7 1/2 years for this moment.
The FrumguyParticipantg73 – I was being facetious.
I have davened in the presence of many Gedolim and Rebbes and I don’t remember any one of them learning during Chazoras Hashatz (please note spelling).
Yasher Koach to all for backing me on this. Any suggestions on handling this problem?
The FrumguyParticipantI mean men that are chashuvah in other respects. They are Kovei’a Itim (when permitted), get Shelishi and Shishi aliyos, wear their Tzizis out, etc. You know, Mechubad.
May 2, 2012 4:27 pm at 4:27 pm in reply to: Shemone Esrei: Putting Feet Together and Davening Quietly #871954The FrumguyParticipantWe try to emulate the Malachei Hashareis during our tefillah. They are described in Nevi’im as standing on one foot.
April 29, 2012 7:15 pm at 7:15 pm in reply to: Taking Another Employee's Chair From His Cubicle #871150The FrumguyParticipantSo why do you refer to it as “his” chair – it’s the company’s chair?
The FrumguyParticipantGetting older is always better than the alternative!
The FrumguyParticipantBaby fingers are smaller in size than lady fingers. Labriyoot!
The FrumguyParticipantNo matter how my teeth, stomach, etc. feels, I’m glad to do the Ratzon Hashem.
A Good Mo’ed
The FrumguyParticipantFlatbush Dude: It was sincerely the latter. I really DO agree with you. Have a Good Mo’ed.
The FrumguyParticipantA BIG Yasher Koach for noticing. Have a Good Mo’ed.
The FrumguyParticipantI’m very makpid to keep my tzitzis off the floor – usually across my lap.
The FrumguyParticipantI was thinking the same thing. It’s quite outrageous for such a high “handling / shipping” fee (I guess they like “handling” your money). And who said Agudah isn’t going to be making any money on this??
The FrumguyParticipantGut voch, gabi:
I assume that this happened in shul today. I’m quite sure that nobody in shul had a gun(it would be muktzeh) to anyone’s head forcing them to eat. This same dilemma used to happen in my house and when I saw how upset my wife was for not having a “family seuddah”, I stopped eating at the kiddush, just wished the ba’al simcha Mazal Tov and walked home to a delicous home-cooked meal with my wife and children. Some things are more important.
The FrumguyParticipantI know the name Katz is an abbreviation for Kohen Tzedek. Maza is derived from M’Zera Aharon. I’m sure there are others.
The FrumguyParticipantTitanic was not only a motion picture production. It was a real news event way back when. I’m sure the YWN was referring to the original Titanic and not to a Hollywood production.
The FrumguyParticipantAsk parents of your son’s classmates. Most of them have already gone through this.
You should have a lot of nachas and Brocha from your Bar-Mitzvah!
The FrumguyParticipantI use the pre-rolled cotton wicks with the thin aluminum holders.
The FrumguyParticipantI just returned from the National Agudah Convention. There was not a single Ashkenaz siddur supplied by Agudah. I wasn’t alone with feelings of disappointment.
The FrumguyParticipantYasher Koach Shticky Guy!
The FrumguyParticipantHow do you expect to get in touch with a prospective employer through The Coffee Room?
The FrumguyParticipantIt is the distributive law – remember good ole ninth grade algebra?
The FrumguyParticipantCan we please stay on topic? Thanks.
The FrumguyParticipantlolkatz:
Even if we revealed ages in the Coffee Room, everyone still remains anonymous. I’m not sure I undertsand your point.
To everyone else – you’ve got GREAT taste in music!
The FrumguyParticipantPlease note the spelling.
The FrumguyParticipantHashem never sends us “dreary days” – all days are for the best!
The FrumguyParticipantBar Shattya:
I certainly don’t “get mad at them.” If anything, I feel sorry and ashamed for them and their families.
The FrumguyParticipantHis family went to Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim. I know that two of his brothers are musmachim of R’ Moshe, z”l. I believe he, too, went there and had several “shtellers” in the U.S. His mispalelim told him how hilarious his “droshos” were and he decided to make a better living at comedy, unfortunately.
The FrumguyParticipantI agree with you – I think that most Gematrias these days are stretching it too far. I have yet to be impressed with one.
October 12, 2011 2:58 pm at 2:58 pm in reply to: HOT! HURRY! New York To Tel Aviv For Just $631 Round Trip Including Taxes! #825412The FrumguyParticipantThey finally caught on and fixed it. Too bad. Anyone out there get this Metziah?
The FrumguyParticipantI once heard that a Ba’al Teshuva went over to tell R. Noach Weinberg z”l that he was a huge rock and roll fan before becoming frum and some habits are just too hard to break – he can’t stop listening to it. What should he do? Rav Weinberg laughed (as he was prone to do) and said he is 100% allowed to continue listening in order to “keep his sanity” and to help him grow in Yiddishkeit.
The FrumguyParticipantDid you see what Israel’s government might promise for the exchange? Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place. Hashem Yerachem and it should be for the best for all of Klal Yisroel.
The FrumguyParticipantPositive on “Pintele Yid.” Now what?
