Popa is at the asifa and has logged in to YWN-CR with his crackberry.
wanderingchanaParticipantThere’s a fundraising idea – web-based email through YWN!
wanderingchanaParticipantOr, if he’s not a Yid, just wish him Good Morning and smile when you walk past him.

wanderingchanaParticipantBut what if a giyores, whose ancestors were never slaves, wants to eat Turduchen?

I kept trying to correct it when “edit” was still available, but it kept saying “Topic Closed!”
wanderingchanaParticipantMaybe Haifagirl could run a playwriting workshop for the girls, and I could help the girls adapt it for a musical to be performed on visiting day.

wanderingchanaParticipantI thought Joseph ran a competing website?
wanderingchanaParticipantThere are enough good singers out there that I’d rather hire someone who shows up to the gig with a smile on his face, a good attitude and who is reasonable to work with than someone whose name people recognize.
wanderingchanaParticipantMishpacha. I stopped buying Ami with the White House cover with Nazi flags also.
I did read the article about the yeshiva bochur defending his drinking habits, and it was shocking. I think that was the point! It should be an eye opener to anyone who thinks drinking isn’t a problem and/or can’t become one.

April 11, 2012 4:09 am at 4:09 am in reply to: Quality of language in YWN comments and postings #866956wanderingchanaParticipantIn defense of Haifagirl, I take great pride in the fact that my husband cares enough to make corrections to the letters my son’s English teacher sends home.
No, we don’t send them back, but one day my son might do the correcting before we see it, and I just hope we’ve ingrained in him the importance of ‘asking for clarification’ with derech eretz…
wanderingchanaParticipantApy, depends on the icon. They have their saints and such they ask to intercede on their behalf.
The funniest one I know of is the one they stick head first in the dirt in their backyard when they lose something. “Nope… I don’t see it here either…”

April 6, 2012 3:24 am at 3:24 am in reply to: The Longest Seder Contest�How Late Will Your Seder End? #1199575wanderingchanaParticipantWe still haven’t finished second night from last year.
wanderingchanaParticipantIs pepper spray muktzeh?
wanderingchanaParticipantGood for you for sticking by your intuition, and thank you for the warning.
wanderingchanaParticipantI wonder if this is related:
“A golden key can open any door
Meaning
Money opens any door.
Origin
This notion must be as old as money itself. The first person who is known to have written it down is the English playwright John Lyly, in Euphues and his England, 1580:
Who is so ignorant that knoweth not, gold be a key for euery locke, chieflye with his Ladye.
The proverb was the basis of the 1969 British comedy The Magic Christian, in which characters played by Peter Sellars and Ringo Starr use large amounts of money to bribe people to humiliate themselves by doing things completely out of character.”
wanderingchanaParticipantJust heartrending. Thank you for putting our shared thoughts and prayers into words.
wanderingchanaParticipantBesides, pru ervu isn’t on women, but only women can enable men to fulfill it, at risk to their own lives, and we do it anyway.
wanderingchanaParticipantFar east, only because this isn’t a private CR. It can be read by anyone anywhere (except maybe China).
wanderingchanaParticipantI just went and read the other thread, and it seems that any discussion of mosering will eventually have something to do with child molestation c”vs, sooner if not later. I don’t know why that would be unexpected.
wanderingchanaParticipant“When a man is sick c”v, and the entire household is in turmoil, is it “all about him” ? Would the wife not be entitled to her support etc.?”
How sick is sick c”vs? When is the woman entitled to anything when it’s her job to take care of the kids when they’re sick?
wanderingchanaParticipantMP, I’ve got my chometzdig shovel ready.
wanderingchanaParticipant“Based on Popa’s IP address, he does not have any other screennames.”
I appreciate the note, but how do we know Popa didn’t post it?
because of this.
wanderingchanaParticipantAm I the only one on this thread who’s not Popa?
Based on Popa’s IP address, he does not have any other screennames.
wanderingchanaParticipantOomis +1
The woman-bashing lately has really been disgusting. There’s no excuse for it. Well, you can come up with any excuse you want, but that doesn’t make it a good excuse, it just displays bad middos. This isn’t a locker room (or a mikvah).
wanderingchanaParticipant“_____”
wanderingchanaParticipant“How about you agree it was funny, and then I’ll agree it was a tad offensive?”
There is nothing funny about child molestation and what you wrote was outrageously offensive.
I’m not posting this thinking you’ll care about what I wrote as much as I am posting to support soliek.
I’m also sick and tired of all the woman-bashing that’s been going on here. The subtitle is bad enough, but lately it’s been like a locker room here. That is as much the fault of the mods – maybe mods shouldn’t be allowed to approve their own posts.
wanderingchanaParticipantMod 42 – rbrikser?
wanderingchanaParticipant…esp. when you’re lucky to get 2 that aren’t broken.

wanderingchanaParticipantHealth, thanks for helping me make my point. Chag kasher v’sameach, and hatzlacha with, you know, everything.
wanderingchanaParticipantBack up a minute.
You’re wondering if men, such as yourself, would have been better off if Hashem *hadn’t* created women (and therefore wouldn’t be around to raise men’s children, either). Who needs women who “play their pregnancies to the hilt”? Who needs women who are “attention seekers”? Who needs women who “maybe have mental/emotional problems”?
I brought up kollel malingerers to illustrate how ridiculous your gross generalizations are.
I don’t personally know of any women who have ever played their pregnancies to the hilt, but I have met both men *and* women who are attention seekers/have mental/emotional problems. I’ve also met doctors who act like they hate women, and the world would indeed be better off without them.
Maybe the question should be, why did Hashem make them that way?
wanderingchanaParticipantHealth – so, you’re divorced, and you’re wondering if men are better off that Hashem created women, since some, according to you, “play their pregnancies to the hilt/are attention seekers/maybe have mental/emotional problems.”
Sounds like you’re the one with the agenda. Please tell me you don’t want to be a doctor for humans.
Let’s talk about all the women who work themselves to the bone so that they merit a chelek of their husbands’ “learning” while they’re actually bumming around kollel at their father-in-laws’ expense.
