mdd -“Health, if you want to hold that 2+2=5, you are welcome to do it. No matter what we say to you, you won’t agree. If it advances the cause of anti-Zionism to say that we all live on the Moon, you won’t have a problem with it.”
MDD, if you want to hold that 2+2=5, you are welcome to do it. No matter what we say to you, you won’t agree. If it advances the cause of Zionism to say that we all live on the Moon or Uganda, you won’t have a problem with it.
The truth hurts – doesn’t it?
gefen -“Health: Do you know why the dental blocks are not recommended anymore?”
Ladies & Gents of the Jury – I present to you Exhibit A:
“Hello Kitty –
3- When you go to a dentist make sure that he is experienced and knows what hes doing. I went to a few dentists already and most of them just make you a guard and are NOT TMJ specialists. These night guards made my TMJ worse.”
Btw, if you go to a Doc, like in the ER and you get injected -you probably won’t need to deal with this again. OTOH, if you brux (grind teeth) or have other anxiety or orthodonic problems, this might be chronic. You’ll have to treat the cause of the problem. Bruxism is usually caused by anxiety. Anxiety is treated with therapy and/or drugs. But I’d wager that this is your first time and getting injected will make it all disappear. After the injection, you can read any book you want to and it might help prevent a re-occurance.
gefen – Got news for you e/o has TMJ, just mine doesn’t hurt.
TMJ disorder or pain is treated with injection at the site with lidocaine (or a different caine) along with a steroid. Any practitioner can do this, not just a Dentist. Follow up is Not necessary in a lot of cases. If Bruxism is the cause, using Dental blocks, as mentioned above by some, is really outdated nowadays & isn’t recommended anymore.
Sam2 -“Health: What pronunciation did they change? Are you referring to S’fardi Havara?”
Don’t you think it’s strange for s/o who isn’t Sefardi to make up a language based on their Havara? The reason why he did it because he didn’t want the New language (Ivrit) to have anything to do with the old (LK). The same reason he made up words that wasn’t needed -like Shairootim for Bais Hakeesay. This might not be a good example because Shairootim might be slang, not original Ivrit. So here is another example -Dayog -Fisherman. The way to say this in LK is probably Odom Sheoichaiz Dagim (Bemetzoida).
He created new words for his new language. Yes, it’s based on LK, but it’s a new language and it has No Kedusha. It’s probably better to speak English than Ivrit. At least English wasn’t created by a Koifer!
mdd -“Health, so if someone decides to start writing English using Hebrew script, but otherwise leave everything the same, it is going to be a new language? Ridiculous!”
First of all, Yiddish is Not just German with the Aleph -Bais. There are many differences.
Second of all, you said dialect. It can only be a dialect if it fits into one of the four definitions. Since it doesn’t have the same Alpha -Bet, it is a different language. This language might have come as an offshoot of German, but it isn’t German -it’s the only Jewish language right now. How come you think you are smarter than Gedolim for the last umteen years? They chose to speak in Yiddish over the languages of the countries where they resided in, this includes Ivrit, when they lived in EY. You don’t think they could learn a new language, esp. Ivrit which comes from Loshon Kodesh? The reason is because it’s (Yiddish) the Jewish language.
So stop with Yiddish is nothing more than German already.
Loyal Jew -“Health, the analogy doesn’t hold. He can be mekabel to wear a seatbelt, to give up smoking. etc. He can even be mekabel to stop defying the Gedolim. But he can’t be mekabel to un-see what he saw on the internet.”
So you’re saying a person can’t do Teshuva on Shmiras Eneyim? Do you have a Mekor for this? If not, you and unfortunately your offspring also, are Krum. I’m very happy I’m on the Net -who would want to be Meshadaich with people like you? What you think is a Chumra (that you can’t undo Shmiras Eneyim) is really a Krumra (I just made up a new word).
wanderingchana -“Lots of water!! Sometimes mine get triggered by dehydration. Like 2 liters minimum in a day. Excedrin migraine. Oxycodone. Ice packs. Dark, quiet room for a couple days. Last resort, emergency room.”
I see you take Narcs. Do you take triptans? If not, why not?
Yenta – I just researched it. They changed Mother’s Nature to a website called “guidetohealth.com”.
Yenta -“the thing is, sudafed does not work for me for nasal congestion so whats to say it will work for migraines.”
One thing has nothing to do with the other. Since you’re taking other vasoconstricters like caffeine, it could do the job. I didn’t say it works like the triptans or the ergots. I just said I use it and it helps me. Some people have to try different triptans to find one that works for them. So the Sudafed could work for some, esp. the 12 or 24 hr ones.
And also, esp. with the preventive drugs the pt has to do a lot of trial & error.
Did you go to that Mother’s nature site? I think they mention feverfew as an aborting drug.
Loyal Jew -“She and others like her won’t accept a shidduch with a boy who uses the internet without a heter, even if it means staying single.”
Just curious. Does she also refuse to date s/o who doesn’t wear a seatbelt? smokes? speeds or drives recklessly? talks on the cell while driving? over-drinks at Simchas?
mdd -“Right, Health, a dialect of German is a Jewish language, but a dialect of Loshon Kodesh is not? How ridiculuos is that!?!”
Your perception is wrong.
From the dictionary:
“Dialect – 1. regional variety of language: a regional variety of a language, with differences in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation
2. language spoken by class or profession: a form of a language spoken by members of a particular social class or profession
3. nonstandard speech: nonstandard spoken language
4. member of language family: one of a family of related languages – Romance dialects such as French and Italian”
Yiddish would not be considered a dialect because it has a different Alfa -Bet. So it’s a new language – a Jewish one.
Even though Ivrit would fall into #4 -it still is a new language, just like French and Italian are two different languages. So it might be in the same family as Loshon Kodesh, but it is its’ own language. The biggest proof that they made a new language, is because they changed a lot of pronuciation. Why? Because they didn’t want to speak the language that Jews always spoke.
yekke2 -“Why is it Jewish?”
Even though the origins are many languages -it is only spoken by Jews.
Ivrit is Not Loshon Hakodesh. They don’t even pronounce the words the same. Many Non-Jews speak Ivrit. Being similar to Loshon Hakodesh doesn’t make it a Jewish language.
So some people feel they have to apologize when they aren’t speaking the Jewish language to Jews.
The reason some speakers spoke English by the Asifa is that they realize not e/o understands Yiddish -so they didn’t want those participants to feel left out.
Chulent – So you know the general Psak – it’s Ossur unless for business. Go ask your LOR if you want a personal Heter.
Yenta -“very little advice on nonpharm. interventions “
Try Mother’s Nature’s website.
“but why sudafed?”
Think how the drug works.
Yenta – Get used to the fact people will be coming to you for info -learn how to research things in Medicine.
This time I’ll help you. Triptans are the main aborting drugs. There are many preventive drugs.
I personally use a preventive drug. When I do get a breakthrough headache -I take an Aspirin, Aleve and a Sudafed (both 12 hr. drugs). If that doesn’t work – I take an Advil with a Tyelonol – #3. If that doesn’t work I take Fiorinal with Codeine. I used to take Ergot suppositories.
avhaben -“That is where unfiltered internet in frum homes is headed. IY”H it will be almost eradicated.”
That’s your mistake and a lot others here. They didn’t Matter Filtered Net in the home. Filtered Net is only Mutter for business. I guess if your office is in your home that would be Ok. Stop deluding yourself that coming to YWN or other Kosher places -that they hold is Mutter. It’s not, acc. to them. So are you enjoying your TV? I know I am.
Yes, all this is brought down. The C.C. has a prereq for Moshiach to come. I’ll transliterate what he wrote:
“As long as we don’t fix up this Chet (LH) -how can we have the Geulah – since this Chet is so damaging (Pogum) – because of it we left EY -so for sure it won’t let us return to our land?…
If so we are forced to fix up this Chet (LH) before the Geulah!”
CA -“Im starting to feel sorry I tried defending someone here that was blocked (Hamayvin yavin)”
Having Charatah on doing a good deed -just takes away any Schar you might have had.
“Now I really understand what people say that even the frum sites have Lashon Hara etc.”
Whatever I said was definitely Not LH. Learn the Halachos.
SaysMe -I’m not advocating Not asking Med Prof. That’s part of our job. What bothered me about your post is that it seemed that you meant that you can totally rely on Med Prof. In our day and age, with new advances coming out daily, unless that’s his/hers actual field, the likelihood on them knowing the latest in that field is not too great. For the pt’s best interest they should research it themselves. Not everything about the Net is bad. The instant access to info has saved many lives.
And I can’t count how many times just from reading the regular News, not medical sites, I’ve found out about the latest in medicine -the same time as e/o else.
Of course, one must be very careful what medical sites you visit -there is a lot of phony stuff out there. Emedicine/webmd is very reliable.
Don Q rum from Puerto Rico is flavored & kosher. Enjoy!
Surgeon General’s warning: Drink responsibly.
SaysMe -“you do raise an interesting point. And though i wont opine, i do want to say that self-diagnosing and looking up medical info on the net is usually not the nest idea. If someone wants to find out abt homebirth, etc, they should speak to their doctor who can give them the relevant and researched pros, cons and info.”
As a member of the medical profession, you are a little right and mostly wrong. Self -diagnosing is never a good idea. OTOH, researching medical info in general or about specific diseases or about something you were diagnosed with is a good idea. As far as needing it at home -so you don’t need a filter -you can go to a library. This really isn’t a reason not to filter. And btw, what Doc would you ask about homebirth? Your PCP? I’m sure they don’t know too much about it. Your Ob? Almost all of them would tell you No homebirth. I happen to agree, but that’s irrelevant. So if you want the other side, you’d have to talk to women who delivered at home, midwives who practice in birthing centers and/or home settings. And one of the better ways to make a decision is to research this Online.
“who can give them the relevant and researched pros, cons and info.”
You make it sound like med prof are walking computers with photographic memories.
uneeq -“That means that morals are not “absolute” as ben levi states, and if you ask me, I would not call “subjective morals”, moral at all.”
Yes, that’s because you have a Torah understanding, but it is logically possible to have subjective morals or morals that change. You might not like that idea, but it is Not illogical.
And btw, the Torah doesn’t hold morals are absolute either. Some Goyim do – acc. to their religion. Eg. We hold killing is Ossur. If we held “absolute” morals it would never be Mutter. But the Torah Mattirs and even says we must in many different instances. And I’m not going to name them -there are too many.
shmoel – Ok; and they will throw out kids from school whose parents have the Net because they said All Net is Assur. The only Heter for a filter is for Parnassa.
Poskim across the United States, Eretz Yisroel and the world have issued a binding psak din upon Klal Yisroel that smoking, driving without seatbelts, driving while talking on the cell, being an alcoholic, not wearing a helmet during sports activities, not wearing a reflector at nite, reckless driving & excessive speeding
is Assur under any and all circumstances. And let’s not forget that most people while talking on the regular telephone to their friends end up speaking LH.
There is nothing to discuss. All the above things are eating Chazir and having a Treif kitchen.
If they decide to throw out e/o who does any of the above things, perhaps there will be one or two people left in every Yeshiva.
zvei dinim -“PS: “I spent half an hour writing a post that included a link to your first study, and the mods didn’t let it through” – I know how it feels,
YWN moderators should at least save or email you rejected posts for further editing.”
A simple solution is to save a copy of your post to Word or something like this, and then edit it, if need be. Then you can keep trying. You do actually have to save it -if you felt that your point was that important that you spent a long time on it.
The only problem is the Slow Modding -so you might not know whether your post went through for hours or days.
Ctrl Alt Del -“You know whats funny about all of this? I think I actually know both of you. but I think I have intersected with both of you at some point. Then again, maybe not. We’ll never know I guess.”
It’s quite possible. The list is endless -Yeshiva, school, etc. But I’ve never met anyone Frum who works in an ICU -so there is no recent connection.
relaxation – Offer to go to the store to purchase their cigs for them. Buy them the strongest, non-filter you can find (Camel perhaps). This way you won’t have to wait years before they are living in the hospital or the cemetary, it will only be months.
Wolf – “Sigh. I remember when I took the EMT course at Brooklyn College years ago.”
I never took a course there in anything. I didn’t even know they had an EMT course. But I’ve taken these courses in NY at other places.
Sam2 -“Health: Both Logician and I understood that point. And, who knows, you may be right. It’s not my place to judge her. However, your reason for saying that Tzitzis is less than other Mitzvos was just not correct, which is what Logician is also pointing out.”
It is correct. There is a special Drosha that women are Mufka from Tzitzis. Acc. to those that say women can wear Tzitzis anyway, I have no idea if there is any Nafka Mina besides they can’t make Tzitzis. You and him can bang your heads together thinking of one.
I’m just happy you understood my main point, whether you understand this one or not.
yoya – Nope; anybody can join in.
Have any medical questions – post them – I won’t charge for the first time.
After that – it’s a different story. [$$$$$] 🙂
Logician – Your point is totally ridiculous. I don’t need a Nafka Mina for my point to Sam.
I think you are arguing for the sake of arguing. This isn’t a Yeshiva.
Sam said that this woman was a Yoray Shomayim and my point was that a big Yoray Shomayim wouldn’t pick Tzitzis as the Mitzva they want to keep. I listed more than this reason (Go read my posts) -so I don’t know why you are harping on this one. So I told him the reason they keep this one is because of Feminism.
yentingyenta -“1)is there a reason you are being sarcastic? besides to be annoying that is”
I’m not doing it to be annoying -I’m just in a bad mood.
“not really in a good mood right now”
Do you think that you are the only one who gets in bad moods?
I have a misreable life so I am often in bad moods.
“2)my parents had to call Hatzolah 1 time for me and B”H e/t turned out fine. i was saying thank you to Hatzolah even for a 1 time occurrence. in this case, the assumption you made is wrong.”
So if it was a one time thing, how do you know some EMT’s?
ballet slipper -You’re not telling anyone. It was on the News page.
It’s probably better to take it with Goyim in some college than with Jews that is mixed company. But, I’m not Paskening.
Just curious, obviously this was arranged by Frum people -so why didn’t they arrange it separately -like a male & a female course?
Ben Levi -“Health,
Actually you are mistaken without a Belief in G-d all morals are unable to be proven incumbant on the individual.”
I never said that. You perhaps are getting me mixed up with “uneeq”.
dhl144 -“I am taking her for lunch in lakewood then taking her ti IPlay America afterwards…”
Let me know afterwards where you went for lunch. I just don’t believe there is anything here that you can go to on a formal date.
Also, tell me about I Play -I’m thinking of taking my kids there -esp. the costs involved.
shmoel -“I dunno who is included in chareidim, but the yeshivish crowd in places like flatbush definitely currently have a notably higher divorce rate than the chasidishe crowd in places like williamsburg.”
Usually that Frum crowd in Flatbush isn’t considered Charedi or Yeshivish, even though a lot learnt in places like TV or Chaim Berlin or Mir. They are considered Madern (Modern), but not Modern Orthodox (MO).
yentingyenta -“i believe you are saying this one sarcastically”
How did you figure this one out? Wait I can just imagine that you’re the first nursing student to walk around in a space suit.
“why are you under the impression i call Hatzolah often?”
Because you actually started a topic about them. People don’t usually talk about them for a one time occurance -so I figure you’re a frequent flyer.
“(i’m being a little blunt because i just came off a 12 hour shift and this is reply i see. not really in a good mood right now health)”
I know -you need to go SHLUFFY.
uneeq -“Health: The book is Permission to Believe. I don’t have the book so I can’t stand behind what I’m saying. However, he can disprove all philosophical approaches, but that still doesn’t prove God 100%.”
There really isn’t anything more to discuss until something is quoted. Maybe your right -maybe your wrong. Maybe he’s right -maybe he’s wrong.
Yankie Doodle – Not any more. You’re behind the times. Lower than MO, not the rest of the Charedim.
Logician -Simple. Because there is a special Drosha that they are. So it has to be lower on the list whether you like it or not.
I could have easily said -that this Drosha pulls them totally out of the Mitzva of Tzitzis and they get No Schar for wearing them and they can’t even make a Brocha. (Not like those that say they can wear Tzitzis and they can also make a Brocha.)
yentingyenta -“health, i dont live in a bubble”
And here I thought you were the female version of bubble-boy the kid with SIDS.
“and know some EMT’s.”
Only some? You probably know alot since you are always calling Hatzolah.
“obviously, my sense of humor is not yours.”
Wow, this is a Chiddush. I thought you were the serious type without ANY sense of humor!
Ms. Critique -“Sorry, but our family has all types Chassidish,Litvish,Heimish,Yerushalmi,modern. At our simchos you see men from wearing just a knitted kipa to shtreimlich and in between there are up hats, down hats, no hats…..so i am speaking from experience.”
You soooo missed the point. No matter what your family make up is – the size can’t change or show the statistics. You need a decent sample of the pop. (Statistics 101)
I told you what the real statistics are based on info that was told to me.
But, nice try.
Ms. Critique -“Sitting in is not a Chassidish minhag, it is a frum minhag. There are some very real Litvish yeshiva boys that are sitting in these days and making a decision after 4 times.”
Your critique or criticism of me is Not warranted and is full of misconceptions.
First of all, I never said No Litvish ever sit-in. My post was based on the fact that Most Chassidishe do sit-in as opposed to Most Litvaks or Non-Chassidim, who don’t.
Second of all, it is Not a Minhag, as far as I know, but just a Farfrumta thing. This doesn’t mean I’m opposed to it, but just it isn’t on the level of a Minhag.
“So far there have been no divorces among this group but from those of you who are busy looking at the gashmius, there are divorces, broken engagements and committments to such as shmutzbook(facebook). Rabbi Ephraim Waxman wrote an article about dating in a Jewish Observer a few years ago. Try to get an issue and then you’ll see the truth. Going in public places as the weather gets warmer is like walking in a zoo of humans. Yes, i am speaking from experience of having married off all our children B”H without these narishkeiten, but focusing on what is important in marriage and how the children will grow together.”
This paragraph is totally inaccurate. Just because you and some people you know who only did sit-ins – didn’t have any divorces -doesn’t mean anything.
“Statistics of divorces among frum Yidden who are Chassidish, although unfortunately more heard of than years ago is still far less than among other types!”
Now this above statement is totally meant to manipulate. In general, the Charedim or Ultra-orthodox have less divorce than the MO or Modern Jews. But unfortunately, the latest statistics are -that Chassidish couples have more divorces than the Litvish or Non-Chassidish. I’m not saying that this is due to going out as opposed to sitting-in, but your premise is wrong -so you have No reason to push sit-ins over going out!
uneeq -“Health: I’m not sure which book you mentioned before nor why you didn’t mention it again. But either way, IIRC, in R’ Kelemans book he proves that all philosophical approaches for banning murder are flawed.”
From page 1:
“The Elements of Moral Philosophy by Rachels is one of my sources.”
They are flawed from a Torah Perspective, not from a logical one.
I, obviously, being a Frum Jew hold like the Torah; this doesn’t mean that there can’t be other logical philosophies regarding Morals. This is why Yiddishkeit is based on Emmuna. If it was crystal clear logically that everything in the Torah is right -there would be No Bechira. This is Judaism 101. I’m not sure where you are getting confused. If you actually quote his book here -I’ll try and help, if I can.
Logician -“Yes, i read your posts. Like Sam2, I don’t really get it.”
Oh, he got it alright. He just probably won’t admit it.
Bikitzur, what I was saying is – if a woman decides to Chap as many Mitzvos as possible, including Mitzvos Asey Shehazman Groma, wearing Tzitzis won’t be on the top of the list.
So why do these women put on Tzitzis then? Because they are FEMINISTS!
yentingyenta -“Fffffffffiiiiiinnnnnneeeeee be that way.”
Fine be what way?
“Stupid people keep EMT-B’s and P’s in business and sick people keep RN’s docs and you in business.”
Wrong again. EMS sees the same type of pts. as e/o else. Where do you think EMS brings them? The ER. The ER is staffed by Docs, nurses, etc.
“(what ever you are)”
I dunno. What am I? You tell me.
Oooh, Oooh, I know -I’m Nisht a Heene & Nisht Ahare!
Bump again. What – all of a sudden the armchair Poskim have nothing to say?
Here’s a joke similar to a Knock-knock joke:
Hello.
Hello.
“Who’s there?”
Hello 99
“Hello 99 who?”
Hello 99 is everywhere but here!
