    Interesting. I had a meeting a couple of weeks ago with some china men. They pointed out that in china there is a lot compasion. Especially towards the elderly and sick.

    I thought that was true, I am now having second thoughts.

    By staying silent you will be adding more fuel. Unless you will really be quiet and continue like nothing is going on.

    However most of the times, being open and blunt (in a respectable and friendly matter) it shuts the fire.

    Adorable, I don’t think that the mods close a thread because it might lead to something bad. Each thread has the potential to become a bad thread.

    Charlie, your right. I didn’t think about teenagers.

    Gumball, I gather from your posts that your not an adult yet (sorry if I’m mistaking). Think about it this way, imagine your on the subway seated near a stranger. Would you give him ANY personal info? Of course not. Think of the web as a place where strangers are seated and are writing down each word your saying.

    Interesting, people post here. Most don’t even know with whom they are communicating. It can be the person honking at you in the intersection, the person that held open the door when you visited the doctor or the person you bumped into by mistake.

    Here we are sheilded with a tittle (some are lucky enought to get a subtittle as well).

    Gedolim don’t start banning. Gedolim evaluate and discuss the issues with people who have knowledge with the subject at hand. And voice their opinion. So those who value this rav can know what the (dass) torah wants us to do.

    It doesn’t seem like you need a fance expensive camcorder. I got mine for free using my FedEx reward points.

    I cannot recomment any specific one.

    What I would suggest is that you contact BH photo, or chat online with them. They will give you a few options, then you should read the reviews and see what people have to say.

    Although being cut off from work is great, no pressure, no deadlines no reports.

    Same is with school and other occupations which are demanding.

    However I think that daily routine is good too. And one week plus, is more than enough (for the next six months).

    What I hate is the pile of work that accumilated over yom tov, all needs to get done right when we return, can’t think about that..

    On a side note. Never pickup anyone with suspected spinal injury!

    What you should do, is manually stabalize the head, that means hold the head in a neutral position with both of your hands untill help arrives.

    Encourage the patient to be still. Or else a smiling death can occur.

    Buyers are not low class store workers.

    I deal with buyers, they actually go around to showrooms and shop for the store. They make up what should be ‘in’ this season.

    No. Since it is the same as eating in a tent. The Sheila arises the day after sukkos which is shmini atzeres.

    Gefen, I will explain what I meant to say.

    If one has to fly, go ahead and do it. In fact I was speeding today 80 MPH on a 50 MPH zone. I was in a rush and took the necessary risk.

    However if one has no need to take the risk, avoid it.

    If you don’t know the difference between a personal shopper and a corporate buyer, you still have a lot to learn until you are old enough to decide what you will be when you grow up.

    Why not a sales lady in a clothing store?

    I heard a shout from Rabbi Avigdor Miller in which states that the minhag in Lita was to get drunk on Purim and Simchas Torah.

    However I don’t believe the minhag is to become dangerously drunk, rather a little tipsy.

    I dont get my information from some non convincing articles. Rather from the MO neighborhood I was raised in.

    What do you mean by loving medicine? Are you familiar with with the health care field that you can make such a statement?

    I am sure there is a lot of hardship a) untill you can actually practice medicine. B) and when you finnaly become a doc, there is a huge amount of resonsibility associated.
