    for the sake of everyone in my shul, I certainly hope not. 🙂

    seriously, there is a thing to stand. I would just like to know why.

    kapusta, I don’t see why not – if anyone complains you can just blame it on the pipes 🙂

    Hi all. I’m new to the CR, but to make sure I caught up, I read through all 86 pages (unlike some who just read the first few and skipped). So, here is some info I think you need:

    1) Mensa was founded in England by Roland Berrill and Lance Ware. American Mensa was started, I believe, by Victor Serebriakoff when he was international president. Isaac Asimov was not the originator. He was, however, an extremely active member in NY Mensa, but not much elsewhere as he didn’t fly.

    2) One should generally say “Amen” to someone’s bracha after they washed but before they eat bread. The exception would be to a child’s bracha. Since children are not chayuv in mitzvos, their brachos are for chinuch. Therefore one can say “Amen” generally, but it would be a hefsek after washing. The best thing to do is to have the children wash first. To be on the safe side, check this out with your LOR.

    3) I know I’ve heard an answer about why we say the mah nistanah when we do, but I don’t remember. Check several of the ArtScroll haggados. I’m sure there is an answer in their somewhere.

    4) To get fish oil out of clothing, put in the sun until it’s evaporated (probably already evaporated by now). Then soak in a vinegar and water solution overnight. Then wash in the vinegar and water solution. If the fish smell isn’t gone, repeat the soaking and washing. When the fish odor is gone, wash in detergent to get rid of the vinegar smell. (I googled it.)

    Glad to be here.

    I knew I was forgetting something.

    5) There is such a word as noone. However, as was pointed out (I forgot by whom), it is difficult to read. Therefore it is frequently spelled with a hypen (no-one) or with an umlaut (don’t know how to make one of those on my laptop).

    haifagirl, welcome!

    Just to satisfy my curiosity, how long did it take you to read through this whole thread?

    kapusta: I started yesterday and read slightly more than half. I finished this morning. But right now I have no life (unlike the moderators, who do a wonderful job btw).

    haifagirl:”But right now I have no life”-is everything ok by you?

    Everything is great. I’m just kind of in limbo right now. I’m in a temporary apartment until I can move into the new one on the first. I’m trying to finish up a project for work but can’t until I get more info from my boss. I need to finish up a project for my other job, but again, I’m waiting for info from that boss. So I sit here and wait and enjoy the CR.

    Are there any special prizes for posters who figure out mods other SN’s? I think there should be.

    *kapusta*

    yes. and the prizes are in a triple locked safe and you have to figure out the combinations to get the prize…

    too late, already answered

    is the prize worth getting? or is it like one of these G.O. things where you have a whole bunch of points/tickets (whatevers) and end up with a pack of cups or something.

    Now getting to serious business, how should I break it to the mod?

    *kapusta*

    trying to pry personal information out of other posters or out of moderators is not encouraged. posts that attempt to identify a moderator by a alt. SN in the threads will not be approved. sorry.

    mod, I’m not prying. I figured it out all by myself. <insert smug look> I’m just saying that I think I should be able to email the mod and ask, (and probably get a no answer regardless if its right or not) and then get upgraded to a mod or something. Dont ya think so?

    I’ve heard rumors in the Moderator Lounge that kapusta is really 72, but I’m not positive, 72 is very secretive.

    Kapustas nose is too big to be 72 :o)

    #1081350

    Its not me tiher, but I’ve heard a rumor that 80 is one of us!

    72, thats funny, I’m here too. Whadaya know?!?! yes, I know. please pass me a coffee

    *kapusta*

    #1081353

    Thats because you’re 80

    #1081354

    Personally, I think kapusta is trying to fake us out by pretending to have a conversation with “72”
