Sometimes I can’t figure out whether to laugh or to cry….
1) The CR and its importance to every Jew’s life.
Just say thank you and try not to think about it too much – I’ve got the same issue (sorry to be a spelling nazi, but you want compliment with an “i”, not complement with an “e”).
Great post btw! 😉
I always just google “(name of song) guitar chords” for whatever song I’m looking for. I figure, if it exists online, it’ll come up. But if you’re just looking for a whole list of songs to pick from, I can’t help you.
<i>Less if for things you count. Fewer is for things you don’t count.</i>
You meant right but said it backwards.
There are many OTD people who imho are better people than many on the derech…
Why do people make life decisions? There are a thousand reasons. Do you really know that because someone makes a decision that on the outside looks to be wrong that it truly is not for the better? I think taking them out of an inheritance is stupid, and I think blaming it on the parents is stupid as well. Do we actually perceive someone who decides not to wear tzitzis and a yarmulke as having failed himself and his family? Is that really the sum total of life and its challenges? If someone sees the world a little differently than we do, is that somehow a sign that somebody messed up somewhere? Isn’t one of Judaism’s “claim to fame” the fact that we don’t believe all goyim are going to hell? Is that because they’re just too stupid to know better, or perhaps because what they believe actually has merit too and deserves respect? Sometimes it amazes me how close-minded people can be.
The linen ones. Tends to get dicey when you have wool clothing.
I’m surprised they didn’t ask for money for first month’s rent…
I only have the one pair, but on Shabbos I call them Shabbos Shoes. Am I yotzei?
557/ICOT –
Although it’s certainly an interesting problem as stated, the one problem with describing it as pursuer (X) and pursued (Y) is that it does not factor in reaction time. In order for Y to travel in the perpendicular direction of travel of X for any infinitesimal movement (during your time t_i), Y must know X’s direction of travel before X actually performs said movement. Assuming that this is impossible, X can randomly preempt the direction of travel of Y and cut him off, and after enough guesses should eventually catch him. I’m with ICOT in not understanding your entire logic (I’m an engineer, not a mathematician :)), so please correct me if I’m wrong.
I thought my comment was unambiguous.
To me, the title certainly does not seem deceptive. Perhaps it’s ambiguous, but you see what the thread is discussing as soon as you open it up, so who cares. What did you think before you opened the thread? Nothing, it looked like it could be an interesting topic, and so you clicked on it – same reason I did.
You seemed to be trolling, and I find the best way to deal with a troll is to troll in return.
And yes, your comment was ambiguous.
ICOT –
Great Job! Heard it before or you figured it out?
tahini – well said. As a single guy I can say I’m at that point of being completely fed up with the shidduch system. I’m fed up with being put into this awkward, completely unnatural environment where you have to figure out how to have hours-long conversations with a complete stranger because Mrs. Weinstein thought it was a good idea. I’m fed up with being part of a system in which girls are these delicate, elusive creatures with whom you aren’t supposed to learn how to converse with until 20 or 25 years into life when you are thrust into above-mentioned awkward hours-long conversations. I’m fed up with a system in which a completely natural, healthy attraction to the opposite gender is viewed as wrong and even evil. But go ahead, don’t say good shabbos to people. (Rant over)
It depends on who it’s coming from, how it’s said, and why the person is sad/upset. No easy fix-all way to answer.
The only thing worse than a hostile comment is an ambiguous one.

How about: Roughly Diamonds
What is this “mind” thing you speak of?
I’ve always loved this one:
3 good friends (they know each other very well) of absolutely equal intelligence, Huey, Dewey, and Louie are captured by Bin Laden and given an interesting opportunity for one of them to save his own life (ol’ Laden is in a good mood today).
Bin Laden tells them: There are a total of 3 red hats and 2 black hats. I will blindfold all of you and place one hat on each of your heads. I will then remove the other 2 hats from the room and then remove the blindfolds. The first one who correctly states the color of his own hat will be spared; the other two will be summarily executed. If you answer incorrectly, are caught looking in someone else’s eye’s reflection, or any other form of cheating, you will be killed immediately. Good Luck! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Bin Laden goes through the process and places red hats on all 3 of their heads. After about 2 minutes, Louie confidently yells out “It’s red!” and enjoys his freedom as he watches Huey and Dewey being burned alive in vats of excrement (coincidentally, Bin Laden was found the next week and guess what he’s burning in now for eternity?).
How did Louie know? (It could have been Huey or Dewey who figured it out as well, but Louie happened to be faster today.)
moskidoodle – MJ had your same dilemma: I’m starting with the man in the mirror. I’m asking him to change his ways….

SiDi – It’s only in the tummy that I am frummy; outside the tummy I am Super Frummy (or at least that’s what this cape says).
Concerned, very well stated. I completely agree. (GO USA!)
Curiosity’s “us” was referring to Jewish Americans, not women.
In this case placing the tissue in tht trash bin, or bringing a bag to place it in and removing it after shabbos is assur. There is a chiyuv to drop the tissue on the floor, or at least to leave it on the table, so as to provide parnassah to the goyim. Although only the goyim are allowed to have lowly jobs like being a janitor, it is important to provide them with opportunities to get zchusim to be avadim for the times of mashiyach by servicing yidden now. In a b’diyeved situation, you may bring your own bag to place the tissues in, but make sure to leave the bag on the table when you leave, and one should wipe the tissues on the handle of the bag before inserting them so as to provide a siman for the future generations.
