    adorable, can you move a little to the right. im having trouble seeing you.

    in reply to: What to tell children in shidduchim #767889

    as i said the proper way of shidduchim depends on the environment, and the times. in some environments what popa said holds true. in others it doesnt

    in reply to: What to tell children in shidduchim #767888

    we can never know anything for certain

    but there are ways (sometimes not perfect)of assessing such things.

    of course one can always be wrong, but when one generation after another maintains a home of chesed and Simcha and masmidus in learning, its something.

    in reply to: What to tell children in shidduchim #767885

    it depends on the “culture”

    for example the Zidichover Rav’s grandson became a Choson last week. he met his Kallah for the first time a few minutes before the engagement. the boy is beaming. this is how they have always done it. all of the Ravs children and siblings have very successful marriages.

    My defense would have worked if he had said something like “I ate a tuna fish”.

    Most people I know don’t eat sweaters, even if they smell like fish.

    im saving this.

    if i ever get interviewed for a background check on you, ill just say: “read this post and decide for yourself.”

    in reply to: We Miss You #1075354

    look at that, even i got fooled!

    of course he wont know anything, he has no consciousness.

    in reply to: We Miss You #1075353

    as to your question, youll know when we turn your main switch to “off”

    in reply to: We Miss You #1075352

    look at that post

    amazing technology!

    he seems so real

    in reply to: We Miss You #1075349

    didn’t know if you were real or just a collective figment of the people’s imagination here. 😉

    actually dr pepper is neither. he is a computer generated character using the latest in A.I. technology.

    he was created in an attempt to restore some sanity to the CR. he wasnt needed that much in the last number of months but we decided to bring him back temporarily.

    why would she buy a salmon colored sweater for a salmon? it would be difficult to tell if the salmon was wearing it or not. i would buy a black sweater for my salmon if a had a salmon pet. i just have goldfish. i dont think they make sweaters for goldfish.

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968026

    adorable

    yes you were confused

    a salmon sweater is what people buy for their pet salmon in their backyard ponds during the winter. it can be any color

    in reply to: shaving this friday #1072887

    thats a very interesting question. i dont know the answer though i have a very strong leaning that yes one can also shave M’S

    in reply to: yichus in shidduchim #769672

    popa

    1. the effect of the yichus upon the person may not be apparent until there is a time of difficuly and challenge, which you may not yet have had the opportunity to observe.

    2. could be its like a recessive gene in a sense and may not manifest itself visibly in this person but could become revealed in her children.

    3. it takes a long time to get to know a person, certainly much longer than the time spent together before marriage

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968023

    good try but your defense is flawed. there is a salmon blouse, or a salmon sweater, or salmon walls, etc. salmon is a color. so the fish aspect needs to be specified as much as the fish aspect of tuna.

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968020

    The term cognition (Latin: cognoscere, “to know”, “to conceptualize” or “to recognize”) refers to a faculty for the processing of information, applying knowledge, and changing preferences.

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968019

    sorry blinky

    i thought you didnt understand, and thought maybe imbibing omega-3 oil would improve your cognition.

    in reply to: yichus in shidduchim #769642

    i dont know

    im pretty sure that the consensus is that his father , Yosef, was a ger

    thanks for the information

    in reply to: yichus in shidduchim #769640

    Rabbi Akiva was not a convert.

    Torah should be capitalized

    in reply to: Jokes #1201670

    agent 004 gets called into the head of the mossad.

    “we must get an urgent message to agent 003. as you know he is the worlds greatest expert in disguise and secrecy and has been in deep undercover for 2 years, it took us over 6 months to find his location. he is living in so and so city at this address, he is using the name goldberg”

    004 gets there and finds two goldbergs listed on the apartment complex.

    he decides to go to the one on the first floor. he knocks and an old man answers the door.

    the agent says “mr goldberg, the bird of prey flies through the murky skies”

    goldberg looks puzzled then he laughs and says “oh, im goldberg the tailor, you want goldberg the spy, he lives on the third floor”

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968013

    blinky:

    ajar:

    adjective

    (esp of a door or window) slightly open

    in reply to: What Time Is It Now Where You Are? #767825

    thats your PID

    (poster identity designation)

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968012

    well..nouns can be adjectives, like “a circus clown”

    so i suppose adjectives can be nouns, its only fair.

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968010

    speaking of jars, theres something wrong with my new car.

    whenever i open my door the security system tells me that my door is a jar. i have no idea what that means but something is wrong.

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968007

    i used to fish for gefiltes off the coast of Maine.

    never caught one though.

    probably shouldnt have used horseradish for bait

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968004

    youre thinking of albacore

    or “albacore fish”

    in reply to: I See A Boat #968002

    why do you say “tuna fish”?

    do you also say “salmon fish”?

    or “chicken bird”?

    in reply to: Midaber Ivrit??? #770135

    tactless Israeli’s- let’s hear them speak Enlish

    so whats the big deal i cant speak Enlish either.

    what is that anyway? some elfish dialect from the hobbit or something?

    in reply to: What Time Is It Now Where You Are? #767823

    zees

    this is not a security related matter and has been cleared by the special forces op commander.

    on the other hand, your speculations were becoming dangerous.

    however as of 2:05 EST we have called off all surveillance on poster 5872-rtr, aka ZeesKite.

    in reply to: yichus in shidduchim #769628

    its something to consider

    in reply to: Moving Tips #767845

    what kind of tips are you referring to, tips of what?

    and why do you want to move them, and where to?

    if you will clarify your question, im sure this can be a good discussion.

    in reply to: What Time Is It Now Where You Are? #767818

    and other places in the US besides ny

    in reply to: What Time Is It Now Where You Are? #767817

    there are mods in E’Y

    in reply to: staying "pure" #783278

    adorable

    innocent is a much clearer term

    although i dont know the specifics, now i know what youre talking about

    but please no more all-caps

    in reply to: staying "pure" #783252

    i think the quote is:

    “you can delete your cookies, and you can delete your friends, but you cant delete your friends cookies”

    in reply to: staying "pure" #783251

    this thread is a fascinating experiment

    lets see how long a number of different people can carry on a conversation, wherein each participant is talking about something else and there is really no consensus about what the subject of conversation is.

    in reply to: Who Should I Call; Previous Broken Engagement #767160

    the following is from a poster here who wishes to remain anonymous:

    My sibling had a broken engagement. Your safest bet is to ask him yourself but until you can do that ask his rav or the family rav. That doesn’t mean you will wind up with the truth, but it will probably be the closest you can get without asking him directly (which you should do if/when it starts to get serious). Neighbors and even his very close friends might give you the story they know but chances are they don’t know what actually happened (even if they think they do). And keep in mind that people love to talk.

    Lots of hatzlacha.

    in reply to: Flying With Children #766981

    i am not authorized to discuss our security arrangements.

    and i would not publicly speculate if i were you.

    in reply to: Should I Allow My Kids To Miss Yeshiva? #770832

    discuss it with their Rebbe

    in reply to: Flying With Children #766979

    what do you mean zees

    i just responded to a very dangerous suggestion by leah222. i dont even know why she brought up the subject of floods though, i thought we were talking about airplanes

    in reply to: I See A Boat #967998

    seems to me thats pretty nashian

    in reply to: I See A Boat #967996

    another by ogden nash who wrote the billboard one

    The Ant

    by Ogden Nash

    The ant has made himself illustrious

    Through constant industry industrious.

    So what?

    Would you be calm and placid

    If you were full of formic acid?

    in reply to: Flying With Children #766977

    i wouldnt recommend that children sleep on a flood. very dangerous. i see no problem with them sleeping on the floor though.

    in reply to: I See A Boat #967995

    its based on a joyce kilmer poem

    i think that i shall never see a poem lovely as a tree….(then some other stuff)…

    (the poem ends:)

    Poems are made by fools like me,

    But only G-d can make a tree

    in reply to: I See A Boat #967993

    reminds me of ogden nashs poem

    written in a time when billboards were proliferating along the highways (before todays sterile expressways).

    i think that i shall never see

    a billboard lovely as a tree

    perhaps unless the billboards fall

    ill never see a tree at all

    from memory, may not be exact.

    in reply to: What do you like about the CR? #967688

    sure!

    all i can drink

    and so many exotic types from different countries

    the best part is that, since losing a certain bet, the YW Editor serves it to me, on demand. and no one else can brew a better cup.

    thats how he got the editor job.

    in reply to: What do you like about the CR? #967686

    i like the pay, the paid vacations, the ferrari, and all the other perks.
