throwing a temper tantrum for an hour until he gets the candy)When the best comparison for the actions you support is a child
throwing a tantrum, it might be time to rethink your position.?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantThe Torah recognizes the authority of government only in certain matters.
Those matters do not include outlawing any aspect of Torah-observance.?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantThe moment you press the button to start the microwave, you know it was a mistake. You hear a high pitched scream so deep that you could drown in it. The sound surrounds you, and so does the guilt. You are responsible for the destruction of millions of bacteria. Only then does it dawn on you that bacteria have neither lungs nor larynxes. The scream is your own.

?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantSolitaire game/puzzle-set for a 7-year-old… The company behind Rush Hour
have also made many other such puzzle-sets which you can take a look at.
Kanoodle (not from them) is another such puzzle-set – one that is quite small.Most cooperative games can be played solitaire, and some games are designed specifically
for it. A few games you can look into are Max* (might be too simple – it’s for 4+), Mmm!,
Forbidden Island (might be too complex – it’s officially for 10+), and Castellion (likewise).(*It’s the best-known of that publisher’s titles, which are generally children’s co-op games.)

Yearly, 100 million takeout boxes are used in the city’s Chinese restaurants.
Laid out in a line, the city’s subway system would reach Chicago.
At any given time, more people are on the New York subway system
than there are people living in Boulder, Colorado, and the number of
people who ride it each day is more than the population of Los Angeles.?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantYou can write a letter to a local frum publication describing your situation
and expressing the desire to meet with folks of a similar persuasion.?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantNot as far as I know.

their presence if they are not covered.?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantThat article was written by Rabbi Moshe Meir Weiss.
(That’s probably in Modesty’s last pending post, but maybe it isn’t.)September 13, 2017 7:19 pm at 7:19 pm in reply to: “Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men…” #1363167?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantThis thread (also) shows only 2 pages on the main page despite having 3.
September 13, 2017 7:19 pm at 7:19 pm in reply to: Inappropriate intermingling at Chasunas ???? #1363163?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantThe phrase “dressed to kill” was not created by modern-day Jewish moralists.

“wearing glamorous clothes intended to create a striking impression.”??

?? Rand0m3x ?Participant(There used to be a response from Modesty between my last 2 posts.)
(Men are not only attracted to attractively dressed women.)While the language is technically incorrect, the idea is that the woman’s attire
is aesthetically pleasing, but does not cause increased male attention.?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantDoes “everyone” include males of the species?

Mozilla, EmojiOne, and emojidex [not a typo] each have their own forms for

would not really apply to the frum community (or so I imagine).?? Rand0m3x ?ParticipantI just realized that the crown in question is the emoji next to RebYidd’s name.
