TLIK, we already have members here who are chashuve poskim, health-care professionals, legal experts, experienced chefs and laundry buffs, and authorities on diverse topics from crying babies all the way to matters relating to the next world. So it’s gratifying to hear from you that we include in our ranks a noted askan as well.
Visiting the CR to smell the coffee, read some comments, be amused (on better days), and take the pulse of our fellow posters, is not a half bad way to while away a bit of time.
I was always sure that those requiring guidance in actual Halacha, or in real-life questions of child-raising, marriage, divorce (R”L), health and well-being, know that this is a place to hang out, not to get answers. Perhaps I was wrong about that. Perhaps that is the reason that discussions get so fierce, tempers are frayed, and feelings get hurt.
While it’s fun to read the recipes here, it won’t occur to any of us to suggest that to our spouses as an alternative to serving them a nice warm meal when Taanis Esther is over. Likewise the CR is not the cure or solution for anyone wondering how to heal that aching joint, raise that recalcitrant child, or work out Shalom Bayis issues.
If you all knew that already, then please ignore this and carry on where we left off…
