For me, it’s the ones that end with or contain the phrase “est maintenant l’heure d’apprendre”.
“”A neis, obviously. Of course it was a neis. How many ninty year old woman do you know who give birth?””
obviously a virgin birth was NOT implied here.
the poster referred to the neis of giving birth at a very old age, but in the usual manner.
unless one has a fairly unusual condition it is generally a very poor idea to see the “top” doctor.
you need someone who is competent, friendly, supportive, willing to take time to discuss things with you, and readily available. especially with a condition like yours which is best controlled with a healthy dose of patient knowledge and self-management.

i believe that is of crucial importance
forcing the child to share actually makes them more protective of their property and more selfish
encouraging to share and rewarding it is a different story
icot wrote this 1 year ago
he did include a disclaimer with it, it was just something he heard.
its not true
although some soda is acidic it will not change the pH of your blood. the bodys homeostatic systems are simply too effective for that.
a lot of us baal tshuvim have no family Mesorah
i think it is normal, just as selfishness is normal, and it is something that must be corrected. it is a wonderful opportunity to instill good Middos in your children.
the question is how to do it?
i dont know
i bet there is plenty of information about this in Rabbi Orloweks: My Child, My Disciple, and Lawrence Kellemans: To Kindle A Soul
Is it Lashon Hara to say something bad about a member, or moderator, here?
its lashon horah as regards a member, but motzei shaim rah as regards a moderator
its a phrase that many people commonly use. i think hes asking what do people mean when they use it?
i think it is generally meant as non-hypocritical. a person whos actions are in synch with his words
But quitting my job will mean lots of unhappy moments for the family I chose to bring into the world.
maybe so for your family
but there are many families, and i know some, where the situation is quite the opposite
for example:
the constant and deep Simcha experienced by GR, his kallah and their children (he learns 15 hrs/day or so, she works when she can, usually from home)is beautiful to see. they also have frequent financial difficulties but they deal with those also with Emunah and even, to some extent, with Simcha
Why is it that in Bais Medreshes people just tend NOT to put away thier seforim after learning from them
why dont we amend that to: Why is it that in Bais Medreshes some people…
While we have chicken soup on most Friday nights, there is the occasional week when we replace it with a potato leek soup instead
my wife always cooks the chicken soup with a leek in it. i recommend your wife give it a try.

the man told them the father was in debt?
i only thought of the pill answer after icot gave his answer.
mine was only a variation of his.
as to the barbecue riddle, i must protest
although you did say desert island, still, i believe using seawater was unfairly adding a new factor into the puzzle. now some riddles like the pill one have as their answer a ‘practical’ solution within the bounds of fairness, but riddles of jugs and liquid and other mathematical riddles generally have a purely mathematical solution, and although the answer you gave was correct, i dont feel in was in the mathematical riddle spirit.
im sorry icot i didnt post your answer. im currently having software problems and am unable to moderate.
excellent and simple icot
or on your lines, take half of every pill
sorry
was in stock just yesterday
i know, but i havent got the motivation to explain it right now, maybe in a few days
personally i have exhausted all my brain cells
i am ready for the answer to the pills, and to the jugs
popa
i am impressed by your self-insight and frankness
if there is an ambulance in the restaurant, thats not a good sign
never step on a scale
generally
the scale will show a lower number than you expected, giving you a false sense of success and causing you to lose motivation
or
will show a higher number than you expected causing you to become discouraged and lose motivation
mosherose is obviously lacking in a clear Daas Torah and his knowledge of the ways of the Jewish People is clearly not fully developed.
nevertheless he is one in a million and when his character becomes polished, and with the right guidance (and a lot of it) i anticipate he may become a great Talmid Chochom and Tzaddik.
for he holds firmly to a crucial principle that almost everyone else has forgotten:
the Emes is the Emes, what feels right, what is accepted as a given by the entire nations, what appears to be obvious truths, are not Emes if they deviate from our Mesorah.
he needs to learn a little more clearly what our Mesorah is, but his tight grasp and unwillingness to let go of what he believes to be Torah is a beautiful and rare Middah.
its neither easy nor simple in that it takes WORK
you have to learn what Shabbos Kodesh is, and think a lot about it on Shabbos
i would strongly recommend Nefesh Shimshon Shabbos Kodesh also.
daven maariv Shemoneh Esrei very slowly thinking and feeling as deeply as you can into each word. dont be in a hurry. this will elevate you
try to walk home from Shul alone
walk slowly
keep in mind that it is Shabbos Kodesh and as you take each step think that you are savoring each moment of this gift of closeness to Hashem. dont think about anything else.
try to keep your head down and pay little attention to what is around you, but everything you do see, think that Hashem made the world from nothing. and it is still nothing. everything is only the thoughts and will of Hashem. savor each moment of closeness to Hashem
after clicking “here” i saw this riddle
1. What makes the number 8,549,176,320 unique?
i have a different answer:
EVERY number is unique
if this is the product you like so much, apparently they are still available, at least online

Evolutionary biologists who believe in the theory believe in it because they believe the evidence supports it, not because they’re looking for an excuse to escape from God
quite logical deduction
however by and large the underlying reason is because they wish to escape from the control of G-d. you can see this or not, depends on your clarity of vision. the Gedolim have always said this.
and it does matter quite a bit. as a matter of knowing the Emes and showing it to others. and as a matter of partial explanation to the supposedly strong question: if so many smart scientists believe in evolution that is proof that it must be true. why else would they believe in it if not for the cold hard facts?
ad hominem arguments are against the rules in the game of debating, but are not necessarily unrelated to the issue
the value of a life is SO precious, and that is the reason why the government spent limitless amounts of money to rescue them

i think its a lot more likely that it had to do with world opinion and voters opinions
i agree the Cubs are history!
warning from the moderation staff:
A limerick can be furtive and mean
You must keep her in close quarantine
Or she sneaks to the slums
And promptly becomes
Disorderly, drunk and obscene.

i dont think its rude
and im sure you can find some rind in the vast world
i think it would be funnier if the posts were related, though off, to the previous one, as in an actual faulty telephone conversation.
for example, blinkys last post:
can you call back to confirm?
no, my back is fine and i am not infirm
a little tricky to explain but it depends on circumstances
but in any case no one is blocked for this
maybe an email asking for an explanation
that would be the converse of your question
when the two names share the same ip address
“Unlike humans, dolphins lack vocal cords, but they do use a complicated system of squeaks produced by sphincter muscles within the blow hole for communication.”
the plane crashed into a building
the occupants of the building survived
echolocation
is not communication
your question is moot
you can post from as many ip addresses as you want. this was never a problem.
some int providers change their customers ip addresses frequently.
you didnt stump squeak
that might not be the answer you wanted but it is a perfectly correct answer
every single person on the plane dies, and there are survivors
the animals in the baggage area survived (they were survivors)
every single person on the plane dies
the married people survived

your loophole needs some refinement
if you redefined the number three all civilization would probably come to an end
maybe the whole universe would cease to exist
would would become of all the physics constants, pi?
i guess your wish would be to redefine 3 as regards wishes only. although that degree of specificity may also break wishing regulations
I would like a world where there are no temptations and doubts, a world where everyone wants to serve Hashem with their whole heart and soul, with all their senses
i understand what you are saying and in truth i agree with your sentiment
however it is WITH those very temptations and doubts that we serve Hashem
if there were no temptation or doubt our service would be no better than the Melachim
Hashem wants the service of his children, into whom he breathed Bechira
yes sj
you have to be discriminate in your discrimination
bryan adams was already after my “old days” so i couldnt say
discrimination is a marvelous thing
it means to be able to tell the difference between different things
it means not all things are the same
it means not all things should be treated as if they are the same
it means to use your seichel
i enjoy listening to mbd more than anyone else, its not only about singing ability
back in the old days my favorite “singer” was bob dylan
but when it comes to a singing voice shwekey is superb
