    Yes, I was born frum.

    I once worked with someone who was convinced that all Jews were either Satmar or not religious. So I was Satmar while I worked there.

    I wouldn’t bother to explain too much. Why do they need to know about our differences?

    I think I can do the pin test on Tehillim, if it’s just continuing from anywhere. But there are different versions so it wouldn’t work anyway.

    Agree with squeak. Besides it disappears on its own after a few seconds, which makes it a lot less annoying than other sites.

    YWN provides a lot of free content and entertainment, it’s only fair they should get something out of it.

    I’m trying to figure out which stream of Yiddishkeit you come from.

    MATZAV IN ERETZ YISRAEL IS GETTING REALLY BAD: Yeshivish

    ALMOST EVERYDAY THERE ARE ATTEMPTED TERROIST ATTACKS!: Zionist

    PLEASE SAY A KAPITAL TEHILIM: Chasidish

    MOSHIACH NOW!: Chabad

    So, which is it?

    I don’t try to hide, but there is a necessary minimum of discretion, and it makes me very happy when a friend figures it out.

    Popa: That’s so interesting.

    I think people in real life know me better, but they tend to see me in one context at a time, while on the internet people get to see my opinions on a lot of different topics.

    Gamanit: sorry 🙂 it might be a while before I’m in your part of town.

    Yes, I know someone who wears a straw black hat. It’s an excellent copy and honestly I couldn’t tell it was straw just from looking.

    Maybe there were 4 guys in PBA’s yeshiva.

    lol Popa that’s actually a pretty good way to distract oneself.

    lovebeingjewish: I don’t love speaking either, because I am always scared of being boring or saying something wrong. Over time, I realized that everyone makes mistakes, and I don’t think less of them for it, it’s only embarrassing when it’s me making the mistake.

    Also, I try to think about the people and not about myself. BUt it’s harder than it sounds.

    Really, practice makes perfect.

    Bored: you are so fortunate to be busy with home and children. Hashem should help you have the energy to enjoy every moment in life, in your home, and also in the outside world. I love babies but can just imagine how I’d go crazy doing that all day. 🙂

    At least you know it’s temporary. They do grow up eventually. 🙂

    nUmerator is Up.

    DenOmiNator is DOwN.

    Up is on top of down.

    So N/D and numerator on top of denominator.

    edit: everyone, even professors, gets confused. The words are too long for such a simple thing.

    Getting hammered is fun? Why didn’t anyone tell me? To each their own.

    Sam2: That actually sounds like a reasonable compromise. And I like what your Rebbe said about not wasting time.

    In conclusion, my seminary teachers were wrong, and fun is a Jewish concept.

    So everyone is basically saying that fun is bad, but recharging is good.

    My question is, what exactly is the difference between fun and recharging? And doesn’t it say somewhere that a person is chayav for an instant of not enjoying something they could have in Olam Hazeh?

    DaasYochid: Thank you, that was extremely helpful (as usual) 🙂 I will look into the GNC products.

    I would appreciate personal experiences in GNC vs. Ensure, if anyone has.

    popa: For some reason, most people who need to gain weight lose weight over Pesach.
