    All the stores and all the non profit organizations that accept amex is part of this program.

    Non profit org’s will have people working the whole sat evening taking amex donations.

    I know this may sound bad but did they look into getting a life insurance policy?

    I think there are ways to get it without any medical tests or questions.

    I’ve noticed it also and i think there is something to it. In my opinion people are more likely to approach someone who looks open minded and non threatening.

    It could be simple things like not crossing your hands together… i cant think of any more such signs right now.

    If you had all the money in the world (no worries for your parnasa) what would you do with your life? (you got this money on condition that you can’t give it away)

    Officially probably cant fire you but if your performance is suffering then that could be a good reason. I hope it wont come to that.

    From my research…

    Eilat – Neptune, holiday inn (the one adjacent to the airport), i think also blue lagoon. They used to be mehadrin but i would suggest to verify before going. And i never stayed there for shabbos.

    Dead Sea – doesnt have any mehadrin hotels but in some of them you can pre-order mehadrin meals and they’ll just warm it up for you double wrapped.

    lolkatz,

    Can you point me to the exact post where AYC was prying personal information?

    Also, please point me to the gun that he was holding over people while asking his questions.

    Coffee room has a rule about giving out personal identifiable information that doesn’t mean someone cant ask. I didnt see AYC asking for such info but if he did that means the Mods are fine with it since they check all our posts.

    Ice… is making a good point if mods allowed ayc post to go through then it can’t be so bad. And if anything the Mod who allowed it should be responsible for it since mods are supposed to know better.

    But again I don’t see anything wrong with that post. If I claim to be

    Obama and tell you to unblock Joseph will you listen to me?

    Everyone has a choice what info we believe from anonymous posts and what not to believe.

    I still don’t see what personal info ayc tried to get out of us? Is manipulation without a purpose forbidden here?

    Evidence of suspicious account would be if you would find a post where AYC asked others for personal information not volunteered his own last name.

    Was Jothar working together with AYC playing good cop bad cop? Because i trusted Jothar and clicked on his link its possible that he knows my IP address now. (That’s actually the most personal info i’ve seen anyone give out in the coffee room)

    Should i be worried?

    Just make sure to verify that its a real situation and not someone making up a story just to get at someone.

    Everyone here is ready to call authorities as soon as they hear any rumors. But keep in mind that some of the cases you read on the news about turn out to be false accusations.

    You did something thoughtful because that’s the type of person you are. But keep in mind that not everyone is thoughtful like you so chances are you wont be getting a thank you.

    Few points…

    1)Something has to be done to improve this “crisis”.

    2)No one wants to invest so much money especially with an organization they don’t trust.

    What if each girl would give this money to her local Shul to hold in escrow? I know this isn’t a perfect solution but I’m just opening the door for others to come up with a better plan.

    In your example waving is more personal because you are acknowledging that person from far away instead being forced into sayng hi while almost colliding.

    Im using GE with shabbath mode and its mainly created for yom tov. You can also use it for friday night with a timer going off before you ready to take the food out.

    But you must run it few times on a weekday to make sure you understand how it will work and get used to it.

    Star-k even allows change temperature of the electronic over on yom tov but i think most other Rabbis dont. So make sure to ask your rabbi about it also.

    I think if you want to hear about kind things this thread should be renamed to:

    Kind things you’ve ever seen done by others.

    Because I think people have a hard time turning into Baal gaivah to talk about their own deeds.

    Rightfully so because there is no place for shechinah where Baal gaivah stands.

    Wolf, did you miss my post? Let me elaborate…

    If a person intentionally puts himself in a situation where he wouldn’t be able to say Ashrei 3 times a day would that be a good excuse? (But all other times he said it perfectly) Does he still get in or did he throw away his chance?

    By committing suicide the person is giving up on a chance to say Ashrei the next day.

    Participant

    adblock blocks images not just ads, after install right click on any bad picture and you can block it or block the whole directory where that image is located.

    for ie use ie7pro.

    generally don’t go to front page of any clothing store, search google for a sub category and go there.

    There are many ways of doing it and I can keep writing for hours about it but I’m using cell phone for now so annoying to type.

    For firefox use adblock, besides for blocking all ads it lets you block any picture or you might want to block the whole directory. site.com/promo/july.jpg then I suggest blocking promo dir not just july.jpg image.

    For internet explorer use IE7pro.

    Generally when going to ebay or any clothing store online search google and for a specific category like ebay computers an go to that specific category. Or start typing in your browser and go to suggested previously visited page instead of front page.
