Only some people hold the restrictions of Sefirah during the 1st portion. Many do not, and are allowed to listen to music.
Gehinnom is not a pleasant place, and it is proper that we should be afraid of it.
There is a widespread moderation strike across the internet right now. Only a few loyal moderators are left.
When it comes to moderation, the love of my life, pay has always been a secondary consideration.
LETS PLEASE TRY TO KEEP THIS PARTICULAR THREAD ON TOPIC
If you put the word Shidduchim in the title of a thread it WILL be hijacked
By the same token, you can’t say that no one’s average on the White Sox went down (or up) since they didn’t have an average to begin with.
You can’t say that their average went up (or down).
But you can say that no one’s average went up (or down).
How did a team have a no-hitter thrown against them, but nobody’s batting average went down?
while it is technically true that no one average went down, that’s a bit misleading.
It IS true, and it IS misleading. But that is often purposely the case in these kinds of trivia questions that are meant to raise the eyebrows as to how such a thing can be possible.
While what your friend said is technically NOT true
If you can’t find your car in a big parking lot, you activate the Auto Pager and your car will drive to your location.
Please see the “Melamdin and Sugar” thread
Although in truth it is much more likely that Diabetes is caused by our (not mine) diet high in refined carbohydrates (pasta, pizza, bread, crackers, etc.) than the candy.
I figured as much, I didn’t mean to imply anything. I think it is quite an excellent “article”
no comment
Same goes to bubbys…..
Let’s please leave Zades out of this however.
“In the past 10 years, several studies have examined the effects of sugar on children’s behavior. Here are the aspects of the studies that make them credible:
1. Known quantities of sugar in the diets were studied.
2. The studies compared the effects of sugar with those of a placebo (a substance without any active ingredients).
3. The children, parents and researchers involved in the studies never knew which children were given which diets (this is known as a “double-blind” study and helps to prevent unconscious biases from affecting the results).
An analysis of the results of all these studies was published in the November 22, 1995, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The researchers’ conclusions? Sugar in the diet did not affect the children’s behavior. The authors did point out, though, that the studies didn’t rule out completely that sugar might be having a slight effect on a small number of children.”
Of course you are right about Diabetes, and you forgot to mention tooth-decay.
Most are from the East. There are at least two from the Midwest, and at least one from E’Y.
Ask her if she also has a recipe for Three Musketeers
Thanks
I’m not from the East.
I don’t know anything about Deal.
I just know it’s in the East somewhere and i like the name.
Please do!
The leniency regarding L”H spoken to 3 or more
With regard to the leniency stated by the Sages of the Talmud about speaking L”H to a group of 3 or more (Erchin 15b), this refers to something which is not absolutely derogatory, but rather something which could be taken one way or the other. Only for such ambiguous statements, about which one can only know what was meant if he actually heard how the information was said, does the leniency of “bifnei shlosha” (Heb. for “in front of three”) apply. Since one who speaks publicly knows that his words will travel back to the subject, because “everyone has a friend” (i.e. to repeat things to; an Aramaic expression), the speaker will take care when he speaks so that what he says is not derogatory.
The leniency known as “b’apei tlata” means that it is permissible to speak what could be understood either positively or negatively, in an ambiguous fashion, provided that one’s intentions were non-negative, before three people.
Very different from an allowance to speak any kind of Lashon Hara once one is in a crowd!

You can edit your post for 5 minutes after you hit “send post”. You don’t need to send another one.
I don’t know if YW Editor plans on playing acapella, perhaps he will chime in here.
Sorry for all the confusion.
What is sefira music? acapella?
I don’t know much about the player. I believe it is currently active and playing music.
I would imagine so.
Any reason why it shouldn’t?
And, another meaning of not “all or nothing” is that there are numerous DEA categories of legal drugs, reflecting different levels of control. Morphine is “legal” as is Aspirin, but the ability to obtain the two products is markedly different.

What are you asking on? Yankee’s comment?

as if to imply that mod42 was suggesting that the thing to do was to read the threads when the mod of course meant look into the threads to find things to do.
The short answer:
The apparently maniacal and cruel person breaks someone’s bone after strapping them down to a table and rendering them helpless, makes deep disfiguring cuts through the skin, fat, and muscle, tears away critical ligaments and tendons, chops off sections of bone, cuts blood vessels and causes a great deal of bleeding.
Then he sews the tendons on to a new location, sews together all the cuts, stops the bleeding, puts dressings and salves on the wound, gives medicine to heal, and to relieve the pain, comes and visits every day to see what he can do to help, and to bring good cheer.
When you have become a new person, who can get out of the wheelchair for the first time in your life, are you grateful to the doctor?
Wolf makes a well thought out and important point. Unfortunately, as i suspected would happen, this has turned into a forum for apikorsus (deleted posts).
When would warts be an emergency?
The Blood Center says it takes 1-2 months to replace the blood cells.
The blood volume (liquid) is replaced in 1-2 days.
Actually it takes weeks to reestablish your red blood cells. Taking iron a few days before won’t help. Carbs won’t either. The fainting or light-headedness is due to the relatively rapid lowering of the blood volume (some have a psychological reaction as well). Make sure you are well hydrated when you go in there. Follow their instructions afterwards (like getting up slowly).

excellent idea
The largest recognized shiur is that of the Chazon Ish,tz’l
5.3 fluid oz.But unless you drink the entire cup (and you would have drunk the entire cup using a cup with a smaller shiur) then by using a cup with a larger shiur you give up one Hiddur Mitzvah for another.
In the words of Rabbi Doniel Neustadt:
“Those who are particular to use a large size cup in order to satisfy the opinion of the Chazon Ish but do not drink the entire cup, are in effect substituting one chumrah for another.”
And if you ARE going to use a large cup AND drink all of it, you might consider a low-alcohol content wine.
You’re right

Actually according to the FDA component lists I just looked up, out of 19 vaccines only 4 contain thimerosal. Two of them in the amount I mentioned above, two of them considerably less.
That is currently.
Eleven of the 19 NEVER contained thimerosal.
By my estimation IF the body could extract the element mercury from the thimerosal molecule completely, and IF it would all somehow be localized to the brain, and IF it could pass through the blood-brain barrier, then it would take hundreds of thousands of vaccines in one person to cause the amount of mercury in a thermometer to be concentrated in the brain.
Of course not all vaccines contain thimerosal, so maybe we should up that to the millions.
When they took an autopsy of children who died of SIDS their brain was inflammed and full of mercury. Hmm. But of course there is no connection.
I don’t claim to know anything about this issue, but I know a little about thimerosal. It is a molecule which contains the element mercury as one component of the molecule. It is not FREE as an element. Just as in a cup of water there is hydrogen, but it is a component of the molecule, not a FREE element. There is no other mercury in vaccines other than that which is a component of the thimerosal molecule
Now, even if the mercury were to somehow be extracted in the body from the thimerosal molecule, thimerosal as a preservative is used in concentrations of one one-hundreth of a percent by volume, of the 1/2 cc or less of the vaccine administered.
If you want to tell me that this extremely small amount of mercury (one ten-thousandth of a few drops) can have toxic effects on the brain, I can’t argue with you. But to say the brains were “full of mercury” is simply an inflammatory lie said by someone who desperately wants to make a point at the expense of any truth. I assume you were quoting someone else, I don’t mean to characterize you.
