February 15, 2017 1:22 pm at 1:22 pm in reply to: Is a Boy Looking to Date a Girl or a Chavrusah? #1218067Little FroggieParticipant
WTP: Excellent post!! So well written!
Little FroggieParticipantLB: Excellent question. No, they won’t get kicked out for asking THAT.
And the answer to your question is that everything has boundaries. If one is asking a question, in a serious Yeshiva setting, just to joke or jest, that is out of place. If one is asking a question to cast doubt, mistrust in divrei Chazal or Torah, that is out of place.
You may not have known it, OP’s question and the two answers are Rashi and Tosefos to an occurrence on something in today’s Daf.
Now let’s see if anyone’s onto the heading.. (if I have to spell it out)
Little FroggieParticipantYou wouldn’t know it. Partly my screen name was inspired by a song my daughter came home with “the little green frog went mmm ahh…” Just picturing her and her entire bunk doing that brings me giggles!!
Little FroggieParticipantIt’s not proper for a male to be in back of a female. If the driver is a female, I’d suppose she should drive in reverse.
Little FroggieParticipantI CAN’T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS ONE!!!!
Little FroggieParticipantLuL: It’s a wrong quote. Oops, then I’d be ?? ?????…
February 15, 2017 2:36 am at 2:36 am in reply to: How to Block the Internet from My Children? #1216727Little FroggieParticipantShe’s from Lakewood, don’t you know? Where they have internetless Coffee Room consoles. Connected to the outside world via a series of gears and cables, strings and pullies…
Little FroggieParticipantNechomah, I like how you put it down. So well written!
February 14, 2017 4:58 pm at 4:58 pm in reply to: Regarding Women Only- More Important to Have a Trusted Rabbi or Rebbetzin? #1216189Little FroggieParticipantYou can ask someone on the CR to ask a Rebbitzen to ask her husband.
You can ask on the CR, and a Rav will see it and answer in class…
Little FroggieParticipantDavid Hamelech, obviously did not think anything is wrong with nursing.
February 14, 2017 3:16 pm at 3:16 pm in reply to: Regarding Women Only- More Important to Have a Trusted Rabbi or Rebbetzin? #1216184Little FroggieParticipantLuL:
You should know better. It is entirely untznius for a girl, woman or anything in between to lol. Read Rabbi Falk’s sefer. If you must, loq.
Little FroggieParticipantShopping: Still there’s an especial inyan to partake, however small portion and say lkovod Shabbos Kodash. It’s a special food prepared in honor of the Shabbos, it’s prepared with a certain holiness.. a small taste won’t do harm.. Many sefarim talk about it.
February 14, 2017 1:16 am at 1:16 am in reply to: Regarding Women Only- More Important to Have a Trusted Rabbi or Rebbetzin? #1216181Little FroggieParticipantMost important: Get the views of the CR. We are going to be the ones who are going to decide if you should go to a Rov or Rebbitzen. So OUR opinion should sought first.
Little FroggieParticipantLuL:
According to the Chofetz Chaim, you’re not allowed near the Coffee Room from about a month before yom haatzmaut until one or two months afterwards..
Little FroggieParticipantwhat to look for..
a hairbrush that will be soft but strong, gentle but forceful, kind but assertive. Understanding and compassion and.. and.. and..
Little FroggieParticipantLuL: Sorry. I skipped first (made up in the summer with the most wonderful, fantastic, patient teacher – my mother, ?? ??? ???????), and dropped out at eighth. Hence my great attitude towards anything resembling scholastic.
So while I know enough how to teach/train computers, I cannot qualify for a city sanitation position. I have not learnt the exact angle to arc bags into the truck.
Little FroggieParticipantIS SOMEONE STALKING MY THREADS ?!?
February 12, 2017 11:42 pm at 11:42 pm in reply to: Things that Cause one to Forget their Torah #1215822Little FroggieParticipantI forgot that Gemarah….
Little FroggieParticipantLul: Ten points for that one!!!!!
(In my humblekite, I’d think if two people say it’s a third world country, it makes it sixth, no?)
Little FroggieParticipantGolfer, I’m not saying anyone did. I’m just saying that maybe someone will come up and say something to the effect that cholent is not important, was never important, doesn’t make any sense or anything else.. It IS a minhag Yisroel. And I advise one to tread carfully before doing away with minhagim. Like you said – REAL minhagim.
Regarding the issue at hand, there’s the famous story of (I think) R. Simcha Wasserman, who insisted a Shabbos Bar-Mitzvah menu include cholent. There’s a continuation to that story…
Little FroggieParticipantI’m in favor of having my own email.
Little FroggieParticipantToday’s days you’ll find a mixture, some have decent or even fancy structures, weatherized and filled with all the latests. Other colonies have basic “shacks”, one, two or three “rooms”. Sometimes they’re connected to another dwelling, so the separation is a paper-thin “wall”. It all depends on the place. Size and amenities also vary. Some have 20 or less families, some have upwards of over 300 families. Grounds, how well they’re kept, swimming pools.. they all vary. The main thing we look for, which is our most important aspect, is the crowd. Know that your family is going to be exposed, and pick up one the behavior middos, hashkafaos, attitudes of anyone and everyone of that crowd. So someone who really cares for the main thing will or should make that top priority.
We are B”H zoche to go to a place totally infused with Torah, Torah’dig families, Torah’dig hashkafos, bein adam l’makom and bein adam lchaveiro. Our living space is tight, but, our children are almost never home, that’s the idea of the country. And what our children (or us, parents!) acquire in the summer months is so much more than the rest of the year. Learning (a real cheder, principal, Rebbeim, tests), a real dagash on the areas of davening, friendships, shmiras halashon etc. We really feel lucky, and we do than the Ribono Shel Olam for directing us to this place!!
February 12, 2017 6:23 pm at 6:23 pm in reply to: Looking for Affordable Housing in Warm(er) Jewish Community #1215955Little FroggieParticipantMaybe Lakewood.
It’s more affordable than Brooklyn. And I suppose a drop warmer, if a bit to the south…
Little FroggieParticipantJewish “ma’achalim”, especially Shabbos’dig ones have a mekor, and should not be done with offhandedly. There’s a lot on this subject, don’t have the time now. But it’s not going to do any good mocking or poking fun at a part of mesorah.
Little FroggieParticipant1) Don’t know what a kibbutz is, but there’s generally no planting to do in the colonies
2) You (or me) can live there year round, if you’re a hermit, or absolutely allergic to other humans.
3) Some newer one do. So they facilitate the possibility of #2. Also many go up there for a Shabbos. (I’ve done it, exhilarating!!)
4) In case you haven’t figured it out – YES. The scenery is gorgeous – in ALL SEASONS!! Miles and miles and miles of just pure wilderness, HaShem’s nature the way Hes set it. It does wonders the the mind, body etc.
And btw, we LIVE there year round – it’s always on our (our family) mind. The summers we spend at our place give ‘chiyus’, life, energy, zest for the whole year!!
Little FroggieParticipantGolfer: something about checking it all around through and through, poking and probing. Then for seven days you hold it so preciously.. And then it gets discarded..
Something along those lines.
Little FroggieParticipantI am at attention, sir (or Madam)!!
Little FroggieParticipantAnd the best time to daven for anything, the best segulah, is right after performing a Mitzvah (the harder, the better, ???? ???? ??? ????…). It’s just that by candle lighting, which is ??? has more potent in the areas of ????.
February 10, 2017 3:56 pm at 3:56 pm in reply to: Have a great Shabbos and a great Tu b'shvat! #1215516Little FroggieParticipantDon’t forget the chirping birds…
Little FroggieParticipantAn Esrog is k’neged halev, you’d want an “Esrog Mehudar”, and of course, a nice “pear”. And b’karov!!
Little FroggieParticipantAhh!!! So someone finally “chaps”!!!
(RY, it was me!!)
😉 -100
Little FroggieParticipantI was moderated today
No you weren’t
Little FroggieParticipantLB: Just wait till her teacher reads the “Current Events”
LuL: As I wrote to you before (in another thread) I apologize for the hurt I caused you. Please be mochel. I was not trying to be bullying. And, as opposed to your other post (in another thread), your existence shouldn’t be acknowledged, appreciated just from within the CR, a bunch of anonymous bloggers. I’m sure, pretty sure you make a big difference to those in your real life environs. I’m sure you exude depth and meaning, understanding and knowledge. I’m quite sure many have enjoyed, in real life, from your vast wellsprings of Torah.
Little FroggieParticipantI suppose someone’s looking for a new sem…
Little FroggieParticipantAnd Shopping.. Did your teacher have anything to say about MY post there? (post#2)
Little FroggieParticipantShopping.. Are you sure you’re in a Jewish school?!? What in the world is wrong with the first two posts your teacher bashed?!?
Again, know that this place is the wild west, you and your teacher got it ALL WRONG, no one is paskening from ANYTING here, or at least should know not to. It’s meant to be a place to chill out, to let off steam, etc. (as I write every so often.. ). And it’s meant to be a eye opener. To view others’ opinions.
But in this case, he is CERTAINLY RIGHT!!!
Little FroggieParticipantWhen I grow up, I wanna be a Mod.
(was I just committing from the ??? ??????: “Do not request to be a Moderator” – ??? ?’ ?”? ??)
Little FroggieParticipantMy {thread click detection} device, and {reason for thread click detection} device tell me otherwise. (oops, was that lashon hara)
Little FroggieParticipantLakewood has a special internetless Coffee Room.
It uses the old typewriters, it’s connected by a water pipe that’s connected to a hose that’s connected to a string that’s connected to a spring that’s connected to gear that’s connected to a stick that pounds away posts, far away, in the deep underground Coffee Room bunker.
Little FroggieParticipantThat Medrash is exactly what it means, she had a physical complexion that DID NOT add beauty. It was the ??? ?? ???, the grace of G-d, that did it. And that is EXACTLY what the Medrash is pointing out. Nothing in her physical, gashmius aspect held this chein, truly everything was miraculous. Just as in this week’s parsha, where the ??? ????? found grace in the eyes of their oppressors.. ?? ???? ???. This was total chain from Above.
February 7, 2017 9:29 pm at 9:29 pm in reply to: Guy who knows everything here; ask me anything #1215254Little FroggieParticipantI beg your Mechila, I realize I hurt you with my post.
I did try, so many times, in so many ways, to convey this message to you. I tried subtly, I tried more obvious… I suspect others share this sentiment too, but do not want to voice their feeling. I suspect higher ups too, though I may be wrong.
Again, please be Mochel. I’ll tone down ??”?. Deep, deep down, they say, I’m really nice…
February 7, 2017 5:15 pm at 5:15 pm in reply to: Guy who knows everything here; ask me anything #1215244Little FroggieParticipantMaybe the guy who knows everything could help me out.
I used to enjoy coming here to chill out. To share camaraderie, companionship. To enjoy the wide (wild) vast of opinions out there. To share jokes, a bright vertel, quip. To liven up my dull existence. And to bring joy and simcha, a smile and a grin to others. Lately this place has been more or less a back and forth conversation mainly between two people, back and forth and then forth and back. Pieces are so hard to read because each and every one of them are such long megillos. To make a short story long, the posts are so long, so very long. And they’re so hard to read. I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but it’s really hard to read. Because (whoops, I forgot why.. Oh, now I remember) they’re very long. And they are long megillos. So that’s why they’re not so easy to read. And keep track of. No – I don’t own the Coffee Room, never did and probably never will. So I really can’t have any complaints to anyone. I’m sure there are others too who no longer post here because there’s no more “room” in the coffee room.
So sum it up – I used to enjoy coming here to chill out. To share camaraderie, companionship. To enjoy the wide (wild) vast of opinions out there. To share jokes, a bright vertel, quip. To liven up my dull existence. And to bring joy and simcha, a smile and a grin to others.

I’m sure there are others too who no longer post here because there’s no more “room” in the coffee room.
So again, to make a short story long and then short, what do I do now?
I wish I had an answer for you…sigh -29
Little FroggieParticipantHURRAY!!! The return of HaLeiVi (with his unique way of posting…)
February 6, 2017 11:42 pm at 11:42 pm in reply to: Jewish Music Sometimes Rubs Me the Wrong Way #1216779Little FroggieParticipantHere’s another example I bet would qualify. There’s this new “chassidic” actually pure goyish, grub, pust and prost, wild disco trance to the holy words of the Zemer written by the holy R. Aharon Hagadol, of Karlin. I’m sure you’ve heard it (from five mile away), I’m sure you’re seen the ‘swaying’, trance dance motions to ???? ???? ??????. Sure is, and this dicso noise will “express” it!!
February 6, 2017 11:34 pm at 11:34 pm in reply to: Jewish Music Sometimes Rubs Me the Wrong Way #1216778Little FroggieParticipantIt’s so interesting.. this conversation is coming out precisely now, Shabbos Shira!!
Little FroggieParticipantDid she mention any on MY screen names?!? OHHH!! My curiosity it BURNING!!!!
February 2, 2017 11:26 pm at 11:26 pm in reply to: Welcome YW Moderator-21 and YW Moderator-25 #1213975Little FroggieParticipantI don’t have complete powers, as much as you’d like to think of me. If ????? ???? ????, mine are certainly less. So, maybe I could bentch you with one who’s only really nice (not really, really nice), warm OR sweet, self or confident, good skills OR social.. oish – your list is WAAYYYY to big.
Maybe I should be mispalel that you find your RIGHT zivug, bekarov, whether you like it or not. And that your right zivug appeals to you. That’s easier.
And why, for Heaven’s sake, do you think you deserve any better than my Ishti. She was promised a “gem of a bachur”, she got a total nincompoop.
February 2, 2017 8:28 pm at 8:28 pm in reply to: Welcome YW Moderator-21 and YW Moderator-25 #1213973Little FroggieParticipantOK, I’m dry and ready to give you a bracha. What would you like your bracha to be? (sorry, my gabbi is out (fishing) now, he can’t write you a kvitel now).
Little FroggieParticipantWelcome abored!!
Is it true, you’re commissioned by the WH and you’re gonna get rid of all aliens? An <<CENSORED by CIA>>
Little FroggieParticipantThank you so much for responding.
I did put up signs, four signs within sixty feet. Some of the people don’t read English, I suppose. Neither do the dogs. Then again, a lot of these people have this special Minhag by night (like Pharoh). So signs are not that visible.
I am thinking of doing it by chemicals. I heard ammonia is a good deterrent. It destroys the lawns, as you wrote, I’m thinking of somehow placing little receptacles in the ground and putting a bit in each. I’d like to see if that convinces the dogs to move on.
