    well then i apologize

    it never occurred to me in the slightest that Rabbi Soloveitchik would have been insulted by being referred to as :R’JB Soloveitchik ztl.

    it never would have occured to me.

    in reply to: Difficult Parsha to Lein #898614

    i was wondering the same thing

    but i figured id let you ask.

    in reply to: tomo yeshiva #815141

    sam he didnt refer to him by his initials

    he referred to him by his full name including his middle initial and including a term of respect and Brocha: ztl

    did the Rabbi object to someone including the middle initial when referring to Roshei Yeshivah?

    i think, as you are wont to do, you are not carefully reading other peoples posts.

    please reread his post and my earlier post regarding his post.

    if you are still having difficulties with this, please let us know

    in reply to: BMG bans cellphones with texting #815669

    I dont need a cell phone

    i believe the correct grammar would be:

    “i doesnt need a cell phone”

    in reply to: BMG bans cellphones with texting #815667

    yes, why does you?

    in reply to: tomo yeshiva #815138

    sam 2

    read his post again

    B is his middle initial

    he referred to him as “R. JB Soloveitchik ztl.” if you keep on reading past the end of the line

    “the torah is too hard for me therefore i dont follow it”

    no, its much worse than that,

    its: “”the torah is too hard for me therefore i have no obligation or Command to follow it”

    i just started thursday night tape number four hundred and one.

    i listened to first hundred or so in this series about 10 times for each one.

    in reply to: Mussar Book #814778

    as far as im concerned the best Mussar sefer, at least for me but i bet for most thirsting Yidden as well is Rabbi Millers, tz’l commentary on the second Shaar of chovos Levovos. i dont know if you can get it everywhere

    you can get it here

    i think you need to send an email to the address on the bottom of the page

    Why would someone say unfortunatly that they went to college?

    they wouldnt, someone who went to college would probably say: “unfortunately”

    in reply to: Mussar Book #814776

    very difficult and Kabbalistic though

    in reply to: Egalitarian Minyan; As Bad As Reform? #815282

    nevermind.

    i promised myself i would not expose myself to these kinds of attitudes during this time of the year, i tried but its difficult.

    ill try again though.

    goodbye for now.

    in reply to: Egalitarian Minyan; As Bad As Reform? #815281

    so you have met several conservative people who are completely shomer Halacha. i guess they are rebels then to defy the conservative movement as a whole like that.

    wow you must be REALLY friendly with a lot of people. you ask them questions about Taras Mishpacha? and you watch to see what they do when a milchig fork falls int a bowl of chicken soup? well, assuming you know they have two sets of silverware that is. i guess you eat at their homes then. im sure most Poskim would approve of that.

    i happen to know many reform and reconstructionist people who are also completely shomer Halacha as well. i know thats hard to believe but its true, i know them! perhaps ill become reform too, why not, if you can be reform or conservative and be completely shomer Halacha.

    i just wanted everyone here to know about this so they will stop criticizing the other two branches of Judaism.

    were all the same you know, love Hashem, ignore Hashem, seek to do His will as He has commanded us, or just to be good people and ignore what we dont agree with. its all the same really, as long as we are nice people and have a good gefilte fish recipe.

    in reply to: Egalitarian Minyan; As Bad As Reform? #815268

    when i was in college i practiced zen-baddhism extensively.

    i found it to be very rewarding, challenging, and spiritually satisfying.

    i progressed in spiritual growth and “finding myself”

    im sure avodah zarah was equally meaninful to those that practiced it.

    xtianity looked pretty good too, very peaceful and friendly, i never got the chance to look into it though.

    do they still need people to sign? i just noticed this now but doesnt look like they need it anymore.

    the more signatures, the more this could be taken seriously

    in reply to: Sign the Rubashkin Petition #818694

    the same thing happened to me and somehow i got registered even though i didnt pass the puzzle thing.

    in reply to: looking for a loophole #814130

    yes

    in reply to: looking for a loophole #814123

    obviously there are things that are not Melochos that shouldnt be done

    i did not say otherwise

    i said if it is allowable then it is allowable under Halacha.

    the op stated that we should “not do Melachos”, in the context of “loopholes, thus equating allowable actions with forbidden actions

    in reply to: looking for a loophole #814121

    if the action is allowable then it falls under the same Halacha as those things that are not allowable. it is not a Melocho and it is not a “loophole”.

    this is too sensitive a question to be asked here

    you need an answer from a recognized knowledgable orthodox Rabbi.

    please ask your question to a local Orthodox Rabbi.

    if that is difficult for you, you can be assured of an accurate answer from here:

    thats true

    and how about that crazy big-bang thing

    imagine, the entire universe in a sesame seed, ridiculous

    glad they finally disproved that one.

    radio waves have massachusetts

    that doesnt make any sense. i thought you were a physicist.

    in reply to: If I get one more mass text #814094

    radio waves have mass.

    i know this because they are composed of photons

    photons are described as energy packets

    and packets for sure have mass

    did you ever see a packet of something just floating in the air?

    however some other scientists say photons have no mass, at least no “rest mass”

    and whats with this new blazes thing?

    in reply to: What Should I Do? Earlobe Infection…=( #812863

    fake earing are really 3 dimensional stickers that stick to your earlobe and look just like real earings. my aynaklach used to use them before they got their ears pierced.

    yes the astronaut clock thing was the same thing, time dilation.

    in reply to: roll over, einstein #813518

    his theories were most certainly not based on “the realities of those times”

    that was his genius, he overturned the completely accepted “realities” into something no one before could have dreamed of.

    like saying one plus one is not quite equal to two, almost but not quite. thats what he did. genius.

    in reply to: What Should I Do? Earlobe Infection…=( #812859

    what are you disagreeing with?

    sure, could be a nickle allergy.

    the poster asked what she should use instead of water on her ear.

    i answered her question

    in reply to: roll over, einstein #813514

    middlepath

    actually that theory (which is not really time travel at all in a real sense)not only will not be destroyed if this new fact pans out, but it is no longer a theory. it is called time dilation. it has been proven and measured. way back in 1975, using two synchronized atomic clocks, im not sure what they did but they ended up actually measuring the time dilation

    in reply to: roll over, einstein #813511

    oh.

    so then whats all the fuss about?

    are you guys just faking this for some publicity, to increase your funding?

    you dont have to answer if this is a secret.

    in reply to: What Should I Do? Earlobe Infection…=( #812857

    try hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, or bacitracin ointment (over the counter). also polysporin oint, though i prefer bacitracin, as this is probably a staph infection. dont use neosporin as it has a signicicant allergic reaction rate.

    popa

    ive re-written one of einsteins equations

    i think it will solve this and future similar problems

    would you mind showing it to your colleagues and see what they think?

    “E=mc?squared”

    in reply to: roll over, einstein #813507

    so do you have any suggestions as to how we should modify einsteins theories to accord with this recent data, or do you think we should just start over?

    i mean, i really like einsteins theories, they make a lot of sense to me, id hate to have to give them up.

    in reply to: roll over, einstein #813505

    yes thats precisely what the article said

    in reply to: Should I donate my kidney? #836094

    what they told her is just meaningless doctorspeak drivel for: everyone should do those things, everyone already knows that, youre no different than anyone else, but because we charged you so much money were expected to give you some sage advice.

    after the post op period there is no difference between a kidney donor and anyone else who has had significant surgery in the past, except they no longer have a spare kidney and so should MAYBE, depending on how they feel about it (kind of like the risk of hepatitisb vs its cost) be a bit more prudent in exposing themselves to major trauma.
