    Lamb Ragu Over Penne

    i dont make recipes if i only know the meaning of 50% of the words in its name

    in reply to: Jews And Starbucks #799629

    yeah, i confused myself too

    see my last post

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712133

    NSA?

    in reply to: Today's Recipe: Lamb Ragu Over Penne #711940

    this is my favorite part of the recipe:

    nondairy dreamer

    thats me, always dreaming of steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712131

    sorry i tried, those guys are everywhere

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712130

    i think you already know the answer which will be forthcoming momentarily.

    and the answer is: CLASSIFED…Moderation Security Task Force

    in reply to: Modern Orthodoxy, Chassidus, and the Rambam #712184

    claimed they were capable of independently making Nissim

    independently, without Hashem? they NEVER claimed such apikorsus

    placed the Rebbe on the level of a god (lower case)

    what does THAT mean? independent powers? they NEVER claimed that

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712127

    another great question!

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712125

    im not joking

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712122

    no

    in reply to: Modern Orthodoxy, Chassidus, and the Rambam #712178

    Modern society

    which society?

    it seems to me that, much as this will be rejected, modern society means the Goyish society.

    seems to me, that modern orthodoxy is founded on the desire to integrate being Jewish and following ALL Halachah, with the manner of conduct of modern society, which is the modern Goyim, as long as it does not directly conflict with concrete Jewish Law.

    that’s how it seems to me. ie denim jeans, sneakers, baseball caps, movies, novels, sports, tv, radio, newspapers, magazines, politics, college, university education.

    to the MO advocates, am i in the ballpark here?

    in reply to: Modern Orthodoxy, Chassidus, and the Rambam #712176

    Hey!

    my question first

    what is meant by modern??

    in reply to: Modern Orthodoxy, Chassidus, and the Rambam #712174

    I think it pays to go back and understand the term modern orthodox,

    okay what does modern mean?

    in what sense is modern orthodox modern?

    why was that word chosen

    modern in what sense?

    can you explain what is meant by this part of the name

    in reply to: Shidduchim: A Morbid Interest In Other's Affairs #712394

    yes people need to be more erlich and careful in Hilchos LashonHorah.

    there is certainly a great danger in the process of investigating Shidduchim.

    in reply to: Jews And Starbucks #799626

    SJ

    yes i would say you are consistent here

    wolf too

    maybe i made a mistake in my analysis

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712119

    some moderators moderate and only rarely post

    a number moderate and do not post at all

    in reply to: Jews And Starbucks #799621

    This thread is really fascinating and revealing. seems to be unique among all other threads here of this sort.

    the generally more machmir crowd is taking the side of Mutar here.

    the generally more makil crowd is taking the side of Assur

    in reply to: Jews And Starbucks #799617

    I’d find it hard to believe that no one who’s cried “ussar” in this thread hasn’t ever bought a cut up watermelon in a grocery store.

    i guess you feel that way because of the circles of people you find yourself in

    im not even one of those “crying ussar” but i would not buy cut up watermelon from a grocery store, nor would any of my friends. there is certainly room to say its mutar but i would absolutely not eat such a thing.

    in reply to: OU Sardine Advisory #711855

    best not to make assumptions when it comes to Kashrus, i would give them a ring if i were you

    in reply to: OU Sardine Advisory #711853

    better give the OU a call and let them know

    in reply to: The Word Chain Game – Nov 4th Game #1109434

    tree of knowledge

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712109

    thanks icot

    all true

    especially the modest part

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712108

    rigorous training…

    you dont know the half of it

    just last year another guy dropped out because he couldnt handle it.

    he became a navy seal instead

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712102

    smartcookie

    first of all you should already know who you are

    secondly i agree with you, i dont see the problem with posting moderator hours, but you know those security guys. i think one of them is a prior tsa security agent.

    in reply to: Moderators' Hours #712100

    my parents knew i would be a moderator before i had my first tooth.

    as far as moderator hours they are as follows: CLASSIFIED…Moderation Security Task Force

    ive got over 100,000 miles on my toyota

    drives like a new car

    two peas in a pod

    in reply to: Heter In My Back Pocket #715030

    nevermind

    i thought it was actually bottled in 1792.

    pretty ridiculous thought on my part

    i looked it up

    its about $30

    1792 is when kentucky became a state

    in reply to: Heter In My Back Pocket #715029

    what does a bottle of Ridgemont 1792 cost!?

    in reply to: Solid Frum Working guys #712612

    probably a good idea to clarify the terminology here

    there is a difference in how one feels about goyim and their functions

    vs

    Jews adopting goyish values

    in reply to: Fantastic Android Alarm clock app! #711521

    i know

    im human too

    i really wasnt being critical

    just wanted to throw that in there for anyone reading this thread

    little bits of Mussar here and there are more digestible than big meals.

    in reply to: Fantastic Android Alarm clock app! #711518

    of course wiy, you would agree that ,ideally of course if one can reach such a madreiga, one should awaken with thoughts only of Hashem and how you intend to dedicate your day only to serving Him.

    i suppose that could begin after the math problem, but ideally of course for a choshuv Yid such as yourself, as soon as one awakens and feels gratitude for having been given another day with a clean slate.

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069477

    im guessing here

    Five – three 90 degree corners, and two corners with a total of 180 degrees.

    it seems the total would be more than 180

    i dont know the math though

    in reply to: Yeshivish Shprach List #711921

    thanks icot

    i once asked someone and he really couldnt explain it

    but i guess you cant translate any Yiddish word perfectly

    in reply to: Yeshivish Shprach List #711915

    someone please define “grada”

    in reply to: The Riddle Thread…. #1069470

    what characteristic do all the first things have that is not shared by the “not” group?

    pillow but not bed

    kitten but not cat

    puppy but not dog

    lilly but not rose

    seeing but not hearing

    summer but not winter

    jelly but not jam

    sweet but not sour

    in reply to: Which Sheitel to buy? #823256

    Men, I’m sure you can find some fine cheap black hats in department or discount stores.

    no

    not unless you want a brim 1-2″ wide, a logo, feather, non-felt material, and other numerous non-desired features

    in reply to: You're Celebrating Your First Chanukah As A Married Person #990573

    maybe, but there is no tradition of giving gifts on Chanukkah

    in reply to: Airports – Full Body Scanners #711295

    How many demerits do I have to collect before I get the chocolate bar?

    i wouldnt be too flippant

    the MESS knows where you live

    (Moderation Enforcement and Sanction Squad)

    in reply to: Airports – Full Body Scanners #711294

    imitation is a form of flattery.

    well thats true but not the issue here

    this is a highly serious and critical occupation

    you understand the danger of impersonating a police officer or fbi agent?

    well thats nothing compared to impersonating a moderator

    someday people will start taking moderation seriously

    until then we must be ever vigilant

    in reply to: Airports – Full Body Scanners #711290

    impersonating a moderator?

    2 demerits

    in reply to: Guestion: Looking For Link #710756

    just a joke squeak, thats why the smiley, didnt want anyone to get offended, but as far as i can tell no posts have been recently deleted from that thread

    in reply to: Common Mistakes In Davening #1150253

    I find that if you start getting too technical, people’s eyes begin to glaze over*, so I try to avoid such terms when possible.

    oh yeah, right

    both the /f/ and /v/ sounds are fricatives.

    😉

    in reply to: You're Celebrating Your First Chanukah As A Married Person #990557

    i suggest you not give gifts at all for Chanukkah

    just a suggestion mind you, just a suggestion.

    in reply to: Guestion: Looking For Link #710753

    right

    make a mistake, blame a mod 😉

    in reply to: What Does Modern Yeshivish Mean? #713455

    if it was you bp who had posted that i would have said

    plastered

    not plastered

    in reply to: Common Mistakes In Davening #1150246

    another grouping error for wolf

    in the shir shel yom i forget which day

    it is usually pronounced in a grouping way to say: from a honey-rock i will sate you

    tzoor-dvash asbeyachah

    in reply to: Common Mistakes In Davening #1150245

    seeal

    you misunderstood

    noti said you should stop SE during Kaddish, not that you should answer

    just like Kedushah you must stop saying SE but you dont say anything, ive been told you should rise up on your toes at the appropriate times though

    in reply to: Airports – Full Body Scanners #711279

    are you sure its a catheter

    catheters dont have “a lot of wires”

    in reply to: Common Mistakes In Davening #1150238

    noti thank you

    i didnt know that
