I know a chassidishe landlord who lost his case, he says, because all of the “smart ones” got off the case due to some of the antics posted above…
Ashkizfard-the result of an American trying to talk Hebrew w/ an Israeli accent!
Staycation- stay at home vacation (although ev1 seems to be using this now! my dad didn’t like to travel much)
Homeowner
Eclipse is a writer, not a typist…
But if you are volunteering your services for the job…!
can you give a synopsis?
a short video of the family spoofing typical home situations!
Gumball, you can volunteer to help people get ready for Pesach…I’m sure your school has names of women who need help, even if it’s watching their kids while they clean…
a homemade booklet of family pictures & memories, along with original prose & poetry
you always had the opportunity to be mivatel any chametz left behind….with a bracha instead of bargaining…
Make an arts & crafts project of the tree w/ Haman & 10 sons hanging…once from food items, once from paper items; keep switching it up!
That’s part of the discomfort of wearing them on the 2 major fast days!!!!!!!!
You are all cordially invited to my place…and help out. I’ve got too much to do in too little time.
BY94- I left out a part:
“Yoh, ich bin an alter – Un s’tit mir vei di beiner,
Un Chotsh di burd iz lang un grois, ich hob a sach gezen ,
Gib aher a bissel bronfin, Vel ich zugen gitte eitzes
Veil ich zay in deine pleitzes , Vos iz bei dir geshen. ….
It’s a take on Kenny Roger’s The Gambler, where an old rabbi is giving advice on life instead of a gambler on a ride upstate. The younger person’s neshama lit up from the rabbi’s words & drew strength from them.
THE RABBI
On a warm summer’s evening
On a ride to Monticello
I sat next to a rabbi
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns staring
Out the window to the darkness
Till boredom overtook us
And he began to speak
He said,
“Yoh, ich bin an alter – Un s’tit mir vei di beiner,
Un Chotsh di burd iz lang un grois, ich hob a sach gezen ,
Gib aher a bissel bronfin, Vel ich zugen gitte eitzes
Veil ich zay in deine pleitzes , Vos iz bei dir geshen. ….
“So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he mooched a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression..
He said,
“Ich gei dir yetzt zugin Dem yisod fun yidishkeit.
“M’darf vissen ven tsu koifen, Vissen ven tsu loifen ,
Vissen ven tsu dreien git, Un ven tsu handlen fein,
Besser red nisht vus m’darf nisht, Un gei nisht vi e m’tur nisht ,
Yo, s’iz git tsi furen, besser iz tsi bleiben in der heim.
“Yeder Chochem veist , Az a yid miz zein b’simcha ,
Danken borey oilam, Far alles vos men hut .
Inn halt di torah teier ; Veil dortin brent a feier!
Un gib a sach tzedukeh , Veil parnuseh kimt fin Got.
“And when he finished speaking
He turned back to the window
Said Borey Nefoshos ,
And faded off to sleep .
And somewhere in the darkness,
My soul, it started burning,
For in his final words ,
I found A strength that I could keep.
M’darf vissn ven tsu koifen – Vissn ven tsu loifen,
Vissn ven tsu dreien git , Un ven tsu handlen fein .
Besser red nisht vus m’darf nisht – Un gei nisht vie m’tur nisht,
Yo, s’iz git tsi furen, besser iz tsi bleibin in der heim.
I’m going to tell you the foundation of Yiddishkeit
One needs to know when to buy, know when to laugh…
Better not to speak what one shouldn’t, and not go where one shouldn’t
Each wise man knows, that a Jew must be happy
Thank the Creator of the world, for everything that people have
And hole the Torah dearly, for there burns a fire!
And give a lot of charity, since livelihood comes from G-d
“Ich gei dir yetzt zugin Dem yisod fun yidishkeit.

Interesting caveat:
I had spoken about this a week ago when I was a Shabbos guest by an Artscroll translator.
He said that if the Koreans used the English version to translate to their native tongue, then Artscroll should get royalties!
BTW, loved the baal Korea!
You people have talents unsurpassed
Reading through this is truly a blast
With humor & wit
Sarcasm just a bit
Hope this thread continues to last!
I’ve sent this out to some people in my contact list.

Labeling people is not helpful. And you don’t know that they don’t care. There may be learning disabilities involved or perhaps typists rushing on the library computer limit of 20 minutes, etc.
Then you may really want to write your observations in a letter. Just make sure it’s non-judgmental & coming from a place of warmth towards this person.
The rest is up to her.
Hashem, please help our dear friend, Eclipse
Who never has a mean word pass her lips
She goes through struggles with dignity and class
Despite her detractors who have written en masse
Trying to disparage her and cause her pain
Doing it viciously with much disdain
Please let her have peace in her life
Away from all scandal and strife
Please give her such a big bracha
With tons of nachas and lots of hatzlacha
YES!
A gmach is supposed to come in the morning to pick up clothes set aside; my spring cleaning pass before the Pesach cleaning!
Why not just be upfront & ask directly if he/she would like advice or support?
eclipse..
it would be my pleasure to type for you…
She may have borderline personality disorder.
Or perhaps she is in a controlling marriage & he is encouraging her to be isolated from her former sources of support.
There are many possibilities what is going on with her.
IMHO, I think it might be best to write her a letter that u will always consider her a friend. You may also wish to explain the misunderstandings in a non-judgmental manner.
Hatzlacha!
Eclipse, my friend, where r u? Stop cleaning for Pesach for a moment & help out! Daas Yochid, ou etes vous?
I’m new here, so I don’t know u people yet who post…
As the posters above stated, it could be low blood sugar; reduce the white stuff from your diet (sugar, white flour, white rice, potato, etc.) & replace it with healthier alternatives (whole wheat, brown rice, sweet potato, etc.).
And as noted above, if it persists c”v, call your doctor.
Refuah shlaima!
I also bought the Datsun 210 as my first car! Loved it!
There’s still a week of sheva brachos to go; can u & your friends do anything to inject a festive mood?
B’shaah tova!
To answer your questions!
– U will definitely know when it’s kicking. If u need to ask, then it’s not kicking!!
– Some people have the minhag not to prepare in advance vis-a-vis childcare until after the birth. Others do.
Btw, I would suggest cooking & freezing food for R”H and for a few days if u r going to be home after the blessed event.
Make sure to take your prenatal vitamins & eat healthier!
Hand gluten-free matza is $8 for a small matza…$24 for a box of 3 small ones, not enough for even the shiur during the seder for even 1 person!!!
May her neshama have an aliya.
Just had her in mind in tfila.
AMEN!
This is so beautifully written & inspiring!
always here…
It’s possible you have a food sensitivity so something you ate, even if it is healthy food. A good alternative practitioner should be able to identify the offending food(s) for you.
Health, that’s a real tough one. I can see you are very intelligent, so I’m sure you know that you need to make sure that the experience doesn’t turn into PTSD. Numbness is a great coping skill for a kid at the time of such extreme violence that unfortunately you had to witness, but it doesn’t serve people well as adults. One cannot feel much pleasure either when numb. Just as it’s not unusual for people who have neuropathy in their extremities to have the numbed area pierced w/ needles, etc., by doctors during testing…so too the numb person will unconsciously stick “needles” in situations to cause hurt so he/she could feel…
I had an experience as a young kid where I saw 2 neighbors in front of my house in such a fight over a parking spot (I use the word “adults” loosely)that one of them died on the spot (no pun intended). I remember how that was so difficult to see, but yours is way more violent.
We feel for you.

If you are welcoming me to the CR, I certainly appreciate it! I’m a newbie of 2 days old…bruchim ha’baim to all newbies!
“There are some brand new posters around who are too wise in the ways of the cr and know too much for a newie eg how to check the history of other posters, (how to post in another poster’s name???), how to write in bold and italics, and by refering to posters from long before their time etc etc”
Sorry, sir, all it takes is some computer background & the rest is quite simple…never appeared here b4…(unless in my previous gilgul…but anachronism comes to mind!)
Miriam had a diminutive ewe,
Diminutive ewe,diminutive ewe,
Miriam had a diminutive ewe,
Its wool was blanched as snow
And all places that Miriam traversed,
Miriam traversed, Miriam traversed,
All places that Miriam traversed
The ewe was sure to go
It stalked her to cheder one day
Cheder one day, cheder one day
It stalked her to cheder one day
Which was against the rules.
It made the children giggle and play,
Giggle and play, giggle and play,
It made the children giggle and play
To see a ewe at cheder
And so the morah turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the morah turned it out,
But still it lingered near
And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about
Till Miriam did appear
“Why does the ewe love Miriam so?”
Love Miriam so? Love Miriam so?
“Why does the ewe love Miriam so?”
The eager children cry
“Why, Miriam loves the ewe, you know.”
Loves the ewe, you know, loves the ewe, you know
“Why, Miriam loves the ewe, you know.”
The morah did reply
Hello, anyone home taking a break who could help???
Looking for a good, stress-proofed organizing system for Pesach cleaning, so that it could actually be an enjoyable enterprise!
Does anyone have a good, stress-proofed, detailed organizing system?
Where is a vacuum cleaner mentioned in the Torah?
“al gichoncha taylach v’afar tochal!” (Breishis 3:14)
Loved reading through this thread
You all had points so well said
With your charm & your wit
You made me smile quite a bit
With vigor I’ll now search for more bread…
Happy Pesach cleaning, y’all!
I might be going, but I’m not sure I’ll be accepted in your minyan, unless it’s an Equal Opportunity thing!
Perhaps u might change the question to “Any guys going?” There are some female techies, believe it or not!
Oomis, thanks for your post. I felt so strongly about this topic, that I actually signed up for the CR! I give you a lot of credit for doing what is best for your guest & not what is easiest!
An endoscopy is a definitive method of diagnosis. Just be aware that there are people w/ negative results in blood tests & endoscopies who felt better on the diet. (People who have a gluten sensitivity rather than allergy or celiac sprue.)
Except for the matza, the diet does not need to be more expensive. It’s actually quite simple once one gets used to it!
I love my children’s playpen,
It’s exactly what I need.
My children can’t get at me
When I climb in to read!
Math expands your ability to think logically.
It’s a great feeling when you understand why the theorems make sense rather than just memorizing them, e.g. I’ve found that students who didn’t enjoy math did much better when learning why it makes sense logically solving it a certain way rather than memorizing.
Math just follows a consistent pattern with no “yotzim min haklal,” just with plugging in different numbers. That makes it easier!
Math is also very objective, unlike English: an essay submitted to be graded is so subjective depending upon who is doing the grading!
Hope this helps!
