    i dont know much about makeup but do your husband a favor:

    when you are driving to a Chasunah, put your nailpolish on before you leave the house. NOT IN THE CAR!

    those fumes are TOXIC.

    especially since you probably wont let him open the car windows to let in some fresh air since it might disturb your hair.

    it is crucial though that you put the CD into your computer and start the software wizard BEFORE pluggin anything in or out

    in reply to: Wireless Routers And Privacy #764635

    i just set up a wireless router for wifi in my house this week.

    i was nervous about it but the software wizard took me through the whole thing stepby step.

    like:

    first disconnect your modem from the power supply

    (then the software checked on this)

    now connect the router to the modem using the blue lan cable provided. plug it int the router in the outlet called internet 1

    (then the software checks on stuff)

    now connect etc

    then it asked me some questions like what kind of security do i want to set up and it explained the choices, what password for the wifi, what password for the router, etc.

    then it recorded all the passwords and names in a text file that it put on my desktop.

    the whole thing was painless, about 15 min

    i used d-link brand, no reason, my kids bought it for me.

    i imagine other brands are also helpful.

    i wonder where they got the known dna of obl to compare to the guy that was killed to confirm his identity.

    in reply to: Second Marriages & Hadlokas Neiros #845281

    that is a wise course of action

    in reply to: Second Marriages & Hadlokas Neiros #845279

    i dont know adorable, im not a Posek obviously, if this was a reliable Rav then his Psak is reliable. On what basis he paskened as he did, you would of course have to ask him.

    in reply to: Second Marriages & Hadlokas Neiros #845275

    adorable, you only add one if you missed because of some negligence, not if the missing was unavoidable

    in reply to: Not Looking For A Psak, Just An Opinion #770189

    was she given a psak by a Rav, that she has a relationship with, that it is assur for anyone to use the internet, under all circumstances? did the Rav tell her that it is assur for all Yidden even to listen to Shiurim and to obtain needed medical information?

    i think the answer to your question is dependent on the above.

    in reply to: My robin's eggs disappeared:-( #764206

    all one has to do is be mafkir the nest and eggs or young chicks.

    some say even that isnt necessary because since one wants to do a Mitzvah the chatzer was never koneh the nest because it is lo nicha lay

    in reply to: Are You A Killer Sociopath? (Riddle) #1005518

    i would say that it says about you that you are very intelligent.

    in reply to: Are You A Killer Sociopath? (Riddle) #1005516

    the riddle which i found by google, since the op forgot it, is supposed to tell you if you think like a serial killer.

    supposedly (im sure absolutely falsely) they gave his riddle to a bunch of people and the serial killers among them gave the scenario that he killed her sister figuring the same guy might come to another family funeral.

    in reply to: Are You A Killer Sociopath? (Riddle) #1005510

    you are supposed to speculate, using logic, as to why the girl might have killed her sister. it obviously has something to do with the man that appeared at her mothers funeral.

    in reply to: Are You A Killer Sociopath? (Riddle) #1005508

    my answer was a joke

    but heres the riddle:

    This is a story about a girl.

    While at the funeral of her own mother, she met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much the dream guy that she was searching for that she fell in love with him immediately.

    However, she never asked for his name or number and afterward could not find anyone who knew who he was.

    A few days later the girl killed her own sister.

    Question: Why did she kill her sister?

    in reply to: Is It Worth Releasing Bin Laden Photos To Prove That He's Dead #764383

    the photos will be no more proof than anything else that has already been said

    disingenuous

    actually i think it was ingenious.

    in reply to: My robin's eggs disappeared:-( #764199

    the american robin is kosher

    the european robin is not

    you need to do the Mitzvah at night because during the day the father robin sits on the nest.

    im betting your robin will lay some more eggs

    in reply to: Getting Married & Trying To Decide To Have TV Or Not #764318

    My wife and I watch the occasional TV program or movie, and will very frequently pause the “action” and then get into some pretty religio-intellectual discussions about what’s going on.

    hey.. thats a lot like what me and my wife do. we like to go into bars and pool halls and all kinds of low places in las vegas. then we have religious discussions about how untznius the women were and how vulgar all the talk was. its a real eye-opener and has raised our consciousness quite a bit.

    in reply to: BARUCH DAYAN HAEMES!!! #763665

    heres some of it:

    In August 2010, the courier unknowingly led authorities to a compound in the northeast Pakistani town of Abbottabad, where al-Libi had once lived. The walls surrounding the property were as high as 18 feet and topped with barbed wire. Intelligence officials had known about the house for years, but they always suspected that bin Laden would be surrounded by heavily armed security guards. Nobody patrolled the compound in Abbottabad.

    In fact, nobody came or went. And no telephone or Internet lines ran from the compound. The CIA soon believed that bin Laden was hiding in plain sight, in a hideout especially built to go unnoticed. But since bin Laden never traveled and nobody could get onto the compound without passing through two security gates, there was no way to be sure.

    Despite that uncertainty, intelligence officials realized this could represent the best chance ever to get to bin Laden. They decided not to share the information with anyone, including staunch counterterrorism allies such as Britain, Canada and Australia.

    By mid-February, the officials were convinced a “high-value target” was hiding in the compound. President Barack Obama wanted to take action.

    “They were confident and their confidence was growing: ‘This is different. This intelligence case is different. What we see in this compound is different than anything we’ve ever seen before,'” John Brennan, the president’s top counterterrorism adviser, said Monday. “I was confident that we had the basis to take action.”

    Options were limited. The compound was in a residential neighborhood in a sovereign country. If Obama ordered an airstrike and bin Laden was not in the compound, it would be a huge diplomatic problem. Even if Obama was right, obliterating the compound might make it nearly impossible to confirm bin Laden’s death.

    Said Brennan: “The president had to evaluate the strength of that information, and then made what I believe was one of the most gutsiest calls of any president in recent memory.”

    Obama tapped two dozen members of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six to carry out a raid with surgical accuracy.

    Before dawn Monday morning, a pair of helicopters left Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan. The choppers entered Pakistani airspace using sophisticated technology intended to evade that country’s radar systems, a U.S. official said.

    Officially, it was a kill-or-capture mission, since the U.S. doesn’t kill unarmed people trying to surrender. But it was clear from the beginning that whoever was behind those walls had no intention of surrendering, two U.S. officials said.

    The helicopters lowered into the compound, dropping the SEALs behind the walls. No shots were fired, but shortly after the team hit the ground, one of the helicopters came crashing down and rolled onto its side for reasons the government has yet to explain. None of the SEALs was injured, however, and the mission continued uninterrupted.

    Thanks to sophisticated satellite monitoring, U.S. forces knew they’d likely find bin Laden’s family on the second and third floors of one of the buildings on the property, officials said. The SEALs secured the rest of the property first, then proceeded to the room where bin Laden was hiding. In the ensuing firefight, Brennan said, bin Laden used a woman as a human shield.

    The SEALs killed bin Laden with a bullet to the head. Using the call sign for his visual identification, one of the soldiers communicated that “Geronimo” had been killed in action, according to a U.S. official.

    Bin Laden’s body was immediately identifiable, but the U.S. also conducted DNA testing that identified him with near 100 percent certainty, senior administration officials said. Photo analysis by the CIA, confirmation on site by a woman believed to be bin Laden’s wife, and matching physical features such as bin Laden’s height all helped confirm the identification. At the White House, there was no doubt.

    “I think the accomplishment that very brave personnel from the United States government were able to realize yesterday is a defining moment in the war against al-Qaida, the war on terrorism, by decapitating the head of the snake known as al-Qaida,” Brennan said.

    U.S. forces searched the compound and flew away with documents, hard drives and DVDs that could provide valuable intelligence about al-Qaida, a U.S. official said. The entire operation took about 40 minutes, officials said.

    “A longer second toe has often been associated with royalty, particularly during the rule of the Ptolemaic dynasty when Egypt was under Greek rulership. It was an idealized form in Greek sculpture, and this persisted as an aesthetic standard through Roman and Renaissance periods and later (the Statue of Liberty has toes of this proportion).”

    they say that toe thing is a sign of royal lineage

    similarly i worked with a guy with a name pretty close to budawahadra, dont recall exactly. he always introduced himself as “bud”

    i think those with names difficult to pronounce by others usually do this, it is very annoying and even problematic otherwise for themselves.

    i suspect those that dont do so use their difficult name either out of pride or obstinacy.

    very good suggestion

    i have my reasons though

    in reply to: Doing Something L'Ilyui Nishmas A [Purposeful] Suicide #764748

    well since no one here will be able to give you a definitive answer, ill at least tell you how i approach something similar.

    i have a relative who had a civil ceremony with a goy, and is othewise also a kofer.

    i daven for him that Hashem should return him to Yiddishkeit.

    in addition since he is quite old i daven that if he dies without doing Tshuvah, Hashem should be merciful and give him a chelek in Olam Ha Bah. but i preface such a Tefillah with a plea to Hashem that if such a Tefillah is not proper that Hashem should not listen to it and should forgive me.

    in reply to: Anyone here into details of tomorrow's Royal Wedding? #762689

    good

    so mourn the two things differently, go and bring in survivors to tell of the Holocaust in your schools, read accounts by survivors, go visit and comfort survivors, talk about the Holocaust to your family, whatever you wish.

    that doesnt mean we need to abolish our time held Torah practice of following the leadership of our Gedolim, and instead follow the establishment of an official day of mourning instituted by a secular, mostly atheistic government.
