Popular-Priced Tzaddeek, is there really a transliteration

system that uses periods in that way? (We could talk about how readers of English find words with more vowels than consonants

And why is this “not a tzneeuth.dige conversation?”

I think he might just have been humorously using the formula of halachos such as those about drinking havdoloh wine during the 9 Days, and assuming people would realize not to take the answer seriously. (Really, now, “such is the minhag of the rabbonim and talmidei chachomim that they never do gelillah in such shuls?” In a shul where gelilah is customarily given to a child, it would be a bizayon to give it to an adam chashuv! So I don’t think his post is to be taken at face value.)

Are you allowed to kill a creature just because you feel like it?

All you need is a hunting license. You mix halacha and secular law by bringing up legal penalties for animal-killing, Abba_S (as you surely know those laws don’t include insects). Which one are we talking about?

Is either of you thinking about being an aircraft mechanic,

or do I need to do more Googling?

Hello to you too.

Yes, some people like me wouldn’t think a chassidish girl would

take karate lessons or use certain words or hashtags (I’d say which, but I don’t think the mods want people Googling them). Live and learn, I guess?

Comlink x what?

I’m not going to explain it (but it has nothing to do with the chassidish shidduch practice of “bishow,” which I assume was what you meant).

If you knew it would be coming, I don’t think you would have to

do anything again. (The closest thing I saw mentioned in Rabbi Bodner’s sefer was that if someone often brings food home with them, it is considered as though you had that food in mind when

you made the original bracha.)

I said I didn’t think it was appropriate for this group. Meaning that most here wouldn’t be interested

Should I be surprised that so many of my posts get through? 🙂

I didn’t really see this audience as the

appropriate target for girl’s makeup tips…

I’m a male, and I find it hard to believe anyone would be

brought to inappropriate thoughts/whatever by reading about

good use and application of makeup. (It might even benefit

us to be aware of the full capabilities of the enemy {j/k}.)

I think that rule about double meanings is meant to refer specifically to second meanings that are inappropriate.

(There’s a specific term that could have been used, but then

people might Google it (not knowing the term) and be exposed

to inappropriate material.)

Absan, I don’t think that’s a good analogy.

I once heard a quote (I think in the name of some great Rav, but I can’t remember who), I can’t remember the exact quote, but it was something along the lines of “A leader who has no enemies is not a leader.”

If a leader has no enemies, it shows that he must be giving into everyone all the time, and that would make him a follower, not a leader. A true leader has to be able to be strong enough to act against the tide and do things that are not popular!

You may mean this:

“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

Actually, I think it’s in R’ Yisrael Salanter’s name that it is said, “A rav whose congregation doesn’t want to get rid of him isn’t a rav, and a rav whose congregation succeeds in getting rid of him isn’t a man.”

(The “stood up for something” quote is from Winston Churchill.)

As this is an off-topic thread – any idea why I see new messages in two hours delay?

Those messages just weren’t approved until long after they were submitted. (At some times of day, there are no mods on duty.)

I know enough to know where dreams come from,

who gives them, and the way to respond.

I’m curious. (Maybe you can also tell me what a “suh’lon mam’ir” is?)

Pba,

Did you even read the op? Sparkly was asking about first cousins, not 4th or 5th

Popa’s post seems to have been removed.

There’s no post from PBA here.

That’s “pidgin.”
