cshapiro- I didn’t opine on whether or not you’re not worth it. What I said was that the dislike is mutual. If a couple has mismatched financial values then (traditionally) the girl will call the guy cheap and the guy will call the girl high-maintenance (I suppose it could go the other way at least in theory).
Point is, find someone who shares your values. Otherwise, bad. It is the bane of women to call their provider “cheap”.
1 million? Maybe, if you include all of Joseph’s screen names.
how about no roads and no traffic?
i hate cheap guys
Not half as much as those guys hate high maintenance girls….
car home from the office at 6:00am shower and daven
Showering is a waste of time in such circumstances. Davening is mandatory, but why waste time on anything else when you could be doing more precious workeee. Tralala.
With no disrespect intended, I think that this thread shows a very egocentric viewpoint. It is not just the “heimish” who are abusing English – it is more or less every immigrant group in America – which is a lot of different groups of people in this country! The Russians, who never seem to use articles in their speech (since Russian has no articles), the Hispanics with their frequent lapses into Spanish, the Jedi with their Yodaesque reversal of subject and predicate. Every group seems to retain some of their “native speak”.
And there is little discouragement here. We try our best to understand everyone who tries to speak to us in English and overlook their mistakes. Not so in other places – have you ever tried to stammer your way onto a bus in Israel? You’re likely to feel humiliated if your Ivrit isn’t perfect. Ever tried to speak French in Paris without the perfect accent? You’ll be completely snubbed. In fact, I can’t think of another country that is so forgiving to non-native speakers. So let’s try to see it that way.
hey adorable-
Think about each of the above fluids in context. How many gallons of each do you need to get to work, let’s say? Do you go through 3.5 gallons of whiteout during your daily commute? What about Pepto Bismol? Even the most stressed out accountant can get by with less than a gallon.
I use around 600 gallons of gas every year. Not anywhere close to that in the other categories.
HaLeivi-
Torah observant Jews are forbidden from being superstitious. Saying that crashes come in threes is not like saying “three on a match” – the former has no basis in reality and is mere superstition, while the latter has a factual explanation.
Very simple answer- you hold yourself to be above everyone else here. Do you feel that way about everyone you interact with IRL?
I think anyone could afford this stroller. If you don’t have that much discretionary money you could manage by eating rice and beans in your house instead of chicken and meat. And give up cleaning help. That should save you $1500 in the 9 months leading up to your need for a stroller.
😉
noitallmr- I respectfully disagree. If the entire video was focused on the achdus and the lengths we go to help each other then you’d be right. But then they had to go and stick in a message like that… if it was not intended that way then they should come out and say so publicly.
Read the terms and conditions. Often it says “not transferable”, which would be your answer. Often it doesn’t, which would also be your answer.
Thank you Pashuteh Yid – until you told us that one of the Gedolei Hador was ambidextrous, I did not know if it was Torahdig for a frum person to be that way. Turns out, Eilu vEilu divrei Eloykiim Chayim. So it is muttar to be a lefty because the Steipler was, it is muttar to be a rightie because R’ Moshe was, and now we know that it is even muttar to be ambidextrous. Chasdei Hashem.
I find this extremely offensive. What a disgusting notion, that a bunch of frum people got together to make a song and share it with the public, broadcasting their belief that they know why the Japanese tsunami happened. I’m not sure what is more offensive- the arrogance of the “Neviim” who claim to understand Hashem’s intentions, or the shamelessness of the action of sharing their agenda so publicly. Certainly neither “Avremele” nor Finkelman have the right to represent frum Jews by publishing this statement.
toothpicks are great, but what will your cleaning lady think of you
😉
Do you talk too much?
If she’s pretty enough, it doesn’t matter that Chicago is out of town. If she’s not pretty enough, it shouldn’t matter even if she comes from the hartz shebhartz of in-town and is a baalas yichus, bas talmid chochom, and has all the finest middos. Unless she is very wealthy.
So what’s the difference?
SJS- not in all religions…..
The best thing to do is get up really close to the person and say clearly, “Calm down. You’re getting excited. It’s not a big deal. Calm down”. It is best to use calming hand gestures at the same time (arms out, palms facing downward, vertical motions).
If you are wearing protective gear (or if the person is significantly smaller than you), you can probably repeat this 3-4 times before you lose consciousness.
b’shaah tova?
As far as your Kashrus is concerned, there is a reason why we have mashgichum and rabbonim there. Their job is to verify that everything is good. If you feel it is not good enough, you should also kill your own chickens and cows, because you are relying on someone else and pesach you should be more machir. You should not buy ANY items from the grocery like potato starch, because you are also relying on other people doing their job.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy 🙂
The most likely explanation is that every post in the CR is posted 3-5 times. Then Mod 80 deletes the ones that came before his.
Why do such smart people out there, even in their waning years never talk about the one thing that is so so important
Because smart people generally confine their conversations to topics of which they are knowledgeable.
I’ve seen kosher ham in NY, so I’m sure you can find a kosher beach too.
Winnie the Pooh?
best thing about winter…. 12 more months until it gets that bitter again. worst part of summer is knowing that it’s all downhill from there.
When I say it, it comes out “tay-cheh” due to my Eurpoeanishe accent.
halivei, dear ronrsr, halivei
Are you talking about vegans?
One Brain to rule them all, One Brain to find them…..
Wolf, I’ve been to the brain store, thinking that I could get an auxiliary one for when my main is offline and thereby work all day and night. The prices in the store are quite varied. For example, the salesman showed me a physician’s brain, 35 years old, $50k. A lawyer’s brain, 42 years old, $45k. Then he showed me a blogger’s brain, 48 years old, for which he wanted an astounding $1.2 million! When I asked why the blogger’s brain was such priced at such an astronomical figure while the physician and lawyer brains were so much more reasonable, he shrugged and replied, “Never been used.”
The product you are looking for is called “Nair”. Just rub the stuff on and you’ll see almost instant results!
There is a funny story I once heard from Rav Mansour.
This lady was circling around the block for an hour looking for a space to park. She was utterly frustrated.
Finally she looks up and says: HaShem please, please, please help me find a parking spot”.
As soon as she finishes saying those words, a car pulls out of a space right in front of her car.
So she says: “Never mind HaShem, I already found a parking space.”
This story actually happened, up until the last line. When the car pulled out of the space right in front of her, what she really said was, “A SHIDDUCH! I meant please help me find a SHIDDUCH!”

(mine that is)
In other words, variety is the spice of life. But I’d still rather have steak every night for dinner than have steak one night and stale black bread the next.
you could also book at least 3 weddings per night per hall, which should give the hall the same parnassa but cut the cost by a 1/3rd or more.
Same parnassa (income) at 1/3 of the cost? If you can tell me how that’s possible, I have a job opening for you on the White House budgetary committee.
I personally try to bring a dozen roses
You bring 3 bottles of Four Roses? I would consider 1 bottle to be a very nice house guest gift. 3 is overkill.
thats so cool how do you do that
Take a hint, pal 🙂
Unless you want to be treated condescendingly again, I would suggest you ask Google instead of Mr. 80.
Some of the best intellectual discussions take place in a tipsy frame of reference.
To answer the OP, chemistry means developing a bond.
Why are people extrapolating? In this thread a number of comments were first or second hand accounts of R’ Chaim objecting to the name Shira. Not any other name. I think it is reasonable to conclude that he objects to this name only, and not try to extend this to other names that he has not objected to based on a (even a) logical connection that he has not ever said (to the best of anyone’s knowledge).
Unless someone has heard R’ Chaim object to other names- anyone?
Obeisant, effervescent
Do you walk the babysitter to her door? Why is that different?
Off topic. Where is Hamodia circulated that the avg income of their subscribers is $147,000? I wonder if Yeshiva administrators in the same markets would give the same number?
LOL! But you are missing the point here- the Yeshiva administrators are the only ones who answered the survey, so it’s the average of their salaries.
yes
