about dinosaurs you tell them the truth.
they were very large animals that lived a long time ago and have now become extinct
from the university of wisconsin school of medicines public health website:
“Kidney donation, most often, does not change your present lifestyle. It does not change the length of your life or increase your risk of getting kidney disease. It does not interfere with a woman’s ability to have children. You will not need to change your diet or take additional medicines. The other kidney will grow and take over the work of both kidneys.”
amblyopia is sometimes also referred to as a lazy eye, and the most common symptoms are strabismus
almost
lazy eye is not a medical term and different people mean different things when they say it
but strabismus is not generally a symptom of amblyopia (except in certain unusual cases in adults) rather strabismus is ONE of the CAUSES of amblyopia.
what mr kaufman says is correct, however i believe cutie understands this and is exactly the point she is confused about.
ill restate her question if i may:
how can each person in the world believe that everything in the world depends on him alone? this is a self-contradiction. you might say well of course it cant be true but one should pretend that this is so, nevertheless, as a stimulus to Avodah. could be but i believe the inyon is much deeper than that.
I was just talking about Frum Jews
i know, wasnt that the whole point of your discussion with pba? not sure what your last post has to do with this. we in the medical profession like to keep issues unrelated to the one presently under consideration, in abeyance. otherwise the uninformed will tend to become confused.
money vs health is a very significant basis for making medical decisions. ever hear of cost:benefit ratios?
and if youll say well personal decisions are different, still cost vs probability is a very significant factor.
would you pay $150 to be guaranteed never to get zygomycosis?
how about $1000?
$10?
Torah is learned every day all over the world, probably every moment somewhere, that “has no nafka minah in this world.
it seems the Halchah and Inyon of dying al kiddush Hashem is not well understood, at least in this thread, and certainly it is Torah to discuss it.
i have nothing substanative to add but it seems pretty clear that this is not a case of al kiddush Hashem, although its a nice thing to say.
its a little tricky and deep but the easiest way to understand it (while necessarily removing some of the more esoteric meanings) is that for me alone, even if no one else existed, would be a sufficient reason for Hashem to have created the world.
no one has said anything to me about a corneal transplant. argh
corneal epithelial basement membrane disease almost NEVER requires a corneal transplant. generally medical treatment is enough. occasionally the cornea needs to be “scraped” a painless in-office procedure, or a laser application.
thats why no one mentioned it to you.
Why are honest dicussions getting shut down?
and because a discussion is honest (and civil) does not a priori mean it belongs on yeshiva world.
(which will usually effectively end the bad posts)
unfortunately this is not always the case.
we do generally try that first but often it is innefective and our delete button stars getting hot, at which time the thread is closed.
there are other reasons for closing threads.
80- Why…………?
first of all because i post a lot, all the other moderators post little or not at all, i seem to be held responsible for every instance of moderation that occurs on this site
secondly, and this has been discussed here, in detail, many times, there are a whole variety of reasons why threads are closed, posts are deleted and edited, and i am not inclined to defend the moderation decisions further. we do not have the time to explain every action and respond to the (apparently) never ending posts (which are generally deleted) why did you delete this, close this edit this?
end of story
sorry
thank you
i thought i described what the op was talking about, in my post above, apparently some people still dont understand
basically what he is saying:
there is a lot of influence of goyish values from living in a goyish world and being inundated by their media that all of us, to varying extents, have internalized it and confused it with Torah values. he was lamenting this fact.
to mr kaufman: the issue he was referring to, of the highly unfortunate and rampant internalization and admixture into our Torah values of goyish values, has nothing whatsoever to do with the issue of Mitzvahs and Takanahs that our Sages have instituted.
I have my opinions and you have yours.
actually popa generally does not have his opinions. he just likes to have fun.
maybe he was the shliach holacha.
so it wouldnt be chal until they accepted it
please no posts criticizing this poster or telling him this is no place to receive medical advice, ask your physician.
let us assume the poster has some intelligence and has his reasons for posting his query here
thank you
mod i am
so, are you saying this hill where sam lived was a field of onions?
but then, a question was asked as to ones desire and i answered it. if anyone would prefer something else, thats up to you.
i dont believe i have anything else to say about the subject.
why should anyone in that community have the right to push out other valid opinions and Minhagim?
i love all opinions and Minhagim that are held by maaminin and upholders of our Mesorah from Moshe Rabbainu.
not those opinions that are derived from goyish values disguised by the yetzer harah as Torah.
Bais Shamai and Bais Hillel were maaminin and upholders of our Mesorah from Moshe Rabbainu.
to live in a ghetto where everyone was your version of frum by force (those who disagrred are forcibly removed), but have no interaction with the outside world,
im yiretz Hashem, someday…
its true
peace
the problem you describe is THE nisoyin of our times, before Moshiach. we all are under the influence of the winds of the goyim that wave us like stalks of grain. it takes work to perceive it for what it is, and its not easy. the yetzer ha’rah spins webs of illusion and deceit that appear to be real, this has always been his main weapon. sometimes he even comes with rabbinic degrees.
we have to work on ourselves by learning works of Mussar and through strengthening our Tefillah.
i think gavra answered your question
okay
i wasnt being evasive though
i dont discuss too much with him other than Divrei Torah and the anyklach
i dont know
i never asked him.
i never heard that before oomis
i like it
A LOT
my son has been in Kollel many years now
neither myself nor the Kallahs parents, nor the government have “picked up the tab”
they are struggling, supporting themselves as they can, and loving every minute of it.
i know quite a few in a similar situation
some of them get Tzedakkah from brothers, sisters, parents, when they can.
but it is very popular to make wholesale destructive criticisms of the families and the “system”
i think it stems from envy, and perhaps some guilt, but im not sure.
thanks for the clarification
(not saying that is a bad thing).
then what ARE you saying?
what do you mean by “sheltered view”?
sheltered from what?
sheltered from that which is innapropriate and harmful for an individual?
isnt shelter something we need, like clothing and food?
its somewhere between eruvin and zevachos in the order of Daf Yomi,
my memory does not serve me better than that, sorry
were not going to discuss that here however
witnesses are necessary! unlikely as it may seem
witnesses to seclusion are not enough (as they are by Sotah)
theres a whole arichus in the Gemorah with machlochusim about exactly what needs to be witnessed, what actually constitutes adultery in technical detail
he was joking
i think that was pretty evident
i think the main thing is to get a sense of him, it doesnt necessarily have to be before the date.
but a parent is always concerned before he puts his daughter into the control of a total stranger, that he at least doesnt seem dangerous or a total fool, no matter how good the references were.
he probably also wants to make sure hes not a zombie.
could you explain to me, if you know, why are there so many games that involve zombies?
heres his resignation letter:
the part bolded (by me) represent exactly what i said in a thread about this here (if someone wants to look it up)
Dear Ms. Kirby
Thank you for your letter inquiring about my membership. I did not renew it because I can not live with the statement below:
The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring.

is this a tv show?
umm…i think were getting a little off topic here
ahh..red snapper with almondine sauce..mmm
why are you surprised, didnt you read the title?
i dont like tilapia either but it has gotten to be the most poular fish lately, at least where i live.
issue with tilAPIA?
I DONT KNOW
WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD?
sorry capslock accident
tilapia seems to be the rage lately
personally i like halibut and chilean sea bass (which unfortunately has gotten pretty expensive)
now THOSE are real fish, none of that pink girlie stuff
salmon is an entity unto itself
nothing pink should be called fish
even rainbow trout is only a light tan
well best is to mix the honey and vinegar together
its not good for much by itself,
but if you add some oil, garlic and salt youll have a great salad dressing
