AOB, I resent that comment, dont you know what my name means?
kapusta: yes, but i don’t understand what you just said!
AOB, it’s anonymous & you don’t know who is answering & where they’re coming from.

AOB, yes! my point exactly

No, it’s just curious. Nothing about communicating with deaf people. But if someone was deaf, could they?
22oldgold: ok, no problem! i just thought you might be someone i know. now…i might know you, but you’re not the person i thought you might be 🙂
possibly no, because for them it is like talking. but i don’t know. (btw, i heard this. i’m not making up halachos here.)
Sorry Baruch Hashem I’m not deaf, although I know people who are. How do mute people make Brochos and things?
22oldgold: I would assume your not allowed to use sign language because you cannot have any kind of hefsek in between the bracha and the act of eating.
22oldgold: the person i know isn’t deaf (b”h)! they asked this same question recently & that’s why i thought you were them.
random question: did anyone here get their braces off within the last couple of years?
last couple years? i think…
why?
moish, is like five years the last couple of years?
~a~
i dunno – i got mine off like a year and a half ago and i feel like my teeth are shifting.
i know, that was random. but on topic.
moish: nope, i never had braces! that was such a random question btw!
moish: you don’t have a bite plate for night?
oh. now i think they give retainers after you get your braces off. i think those are to keep them from shifting like that.
i have a retainer. somewhere.
moish, do you have a retainer?
~a~
T/O:
when is rosh chodesh?
somewhere? your loss. I still wear mine. Go find it even though I’m not sure you’ll still be able to wear it. My sister also stopped wearing hers and when she realized that her teeth were shifting went and got a new one. If it’s bothering you now, a year and a half later, what’s gonna be in five years? or ten? You might want to get yourself a new retainer;) Good luck!
~a~
moish: rosh chodesh is frifay & shobbos!
Oh, and, btw, rosh chodesh is now.
~a~
yeah i’m gonna look for it now – it’s gonna kill my mouth if i put it on now. that’s if it fits anymore. it better!
and thanks, i was just wondering how long that bircas hailanos is gonna be around for.
I think you can say birchas hailanos as long as the tree is still flowering and hope it fits.
~a~
moish, better to say it in nissan but if necessary in iyar. (tonight/tomorrow is still nissan, btw)
no not for me. i meant the ad. whatever, it doesn’t matter.
you found you retainer?
no i was doing something else on the computer… i’m gonna check now – it’s probably in one of my drawers.
what ad?
~a~
there’s been an ad on YW for birchas hailanos for the last who-knows-how-long.
the gedolim ad is on for much longer, not the worst thing to look at though.
nonrandom question (does that make it off topic?): why are we always talking about the ads? i don’t even notice them!
AOB, nothing better to talk about. it’s between that and blogging in Ames, Iowa.
AOB, because you don’t look for them.
and i found my retainer 😉 ow!
an open book: the ads keep this place running! ok that’s what all the ad emails say!
moish: yikes, hope it ain’t too painful! i had a retainer once, think i lost it!
ouch;( sounds painful. were you able to get it in?
~a~
moish-does that mean its been so long since u last put them in that now they don’t fit?
i didn’t wear my retainer and had to have braces twice
random question: Whats the dividing line between being a “nice guy” and a pushover/being used?
moish, you put it on?
kapusta, that’s a really hard question to answer without knowing the person. You really have to look at the whole person and see if he has a backbone to determine if he’s a pushover type. Will he do something that other people aren’t doing if he thinks it’s the right thing to do? A pushover is usually lacking confidence and feels pressured to conform to other people’s expectations of him, regardless of what he really thinks or feels. Best of luck!
~a~
kapusta: It depends on his motives for doing it. Is he doing it because he wants to do it (nice guy) or because someone else told him to do it (pushover).
anonymisss, maybe I meant more being used, not like pushover who just conforms to society. Maybe my question would be more like if someone asks a favor of someone and he always does it for the sake of “being nice”/feeling bad to say no when its not a terrible inconvenience and then gets used.
aussie, to be a nice guy.
kapusta: I know exactly what you mean. I have a relative that can not say no and its terrible. She ends up ruining her life cuz she’s so busy doing whatever anyone else asks her to. The only good that came out of it is that her children learnt to be a lot more strong back boned-if you get what I mean. (sorry, my wordbank is sleeping now but I hope you get the picture anyways.)
kapusta: i think if he feels like he wants to do it for the other person, he’s nice. if he really wishes he hadn’t, even afterwards, then he’s being used. you may not be able to tell though (unless it’s you), because sometimes people might complain even though they really wanted to do it.
