a mamin – “Can not treating Wilson Disease cause Bipolar Disorder?”
As is well known – psychiatric symptoms often manifest itself in Wilson’s disease.
Here is an Abstract from the American Neuropsychiatric Association, that talks about Bipolar in Wilson’s disease:
ABSTRACT
oomis1105 -You missed my point. I wasn’t looking for a list of qualifications. I took your word at that. I meant I’m waiting for you to become my MIL. (You once said you have a single girl.)
Toi – You can’t ask a Shaila from s/o who is Nogiea B’dovor -that’s like asking yourself. He says he only asks Shailahs about smoking to a Rov whom smokes!
Tomche -“Some shviggers are like Cinderella’s stepmother.”
True and some are like her and the wife ain’t no Cinderella!
Smoking might not kill every single person who smokes for a long period of time, but it kills most of them. Obesity is a major health concern, but not as much as smoking. And even if your Rov says it’s ok to smoke, most say it’s Ossur.
Bomb – That’s why it’s a blog. We all post Different opinions!
Bubby B – Sometimes the Shver is worse than the Shvigs.
In my case, the Shver is/was a Shverer Parsha!
oomis1105 -“All those qualities contained in me, of course, reflect a top, top shvigger.”
Ok, I’m still waiting.
CS -Somehow, I’d never imagined you living here. Don’t know too many football players here.
There’s lots of places here, but I saw one today going out of business, if you’re looking for bargains. It’s in Grebow Shopping plaza something like “Furniture source”. Don’t know what’s left, if anything.
You wouldn’t believe some of things I’ve seen due to ignorance.
The net provides a wealth of info/knowledge, enabling people to reject the “absolute truths” of the rumor mill.
This is the main reason that some are scared of it.
Feif un -“they couldn’t see it on the ultrasound.”
Standard of care right now is non-contast CT -that’s why they missed it. Wrong imaging technique!
Go out on a Shidduch!
taking a break -“can you just give me advice how to keep it safe?”
If he asks you for advice – just tell him the answer. If he says something out of line – just say – “Let’s keep this professional and not personal -Thank you”.
shooeyy -“and the proof is that the reason you didn’t smoke even though it was so geshmak was because you were scared of getting sick many years down the line.!!!!!!!!!!!”
Pink Farkert. A person who doesn’t smoke says – I didn’t have a Taava to smoke, if I did I wouldn’t be able to stop. As opposed to the other things, which I did have Taavos for.
But they will say to smokers -you have a big Taavah to smoke, but even so you didn’t smoke on Shabbos -so how come you didn’t control your other Taavos???
Shooeey -It’s not your fault because it’s the way you were taught how to think.
taking a break -“socializing is talking for no reason. answering a question is NOT socializing in my book.”
A few people here have said the same thing, not just me. If it’s not required for the degree, why do it? Maybe technically it’s answering their questions, but it’s also socializing. Your aquainting them to the college -this is a form of socializing. This isn’t the same as helping s/o with a math or whatever question. And to prove I’m right, some men have used this to try and get to know you or compliment you.
Queen Bee -“Agreed with OP. Why shouldn’t a girl be involved in school? Should she hide in a corner or make the most out of her experience?”
Where you ever in college? There is nothing wrong with being involved in school, but there probably is something wrong in offering to do something that requires socializing.
Taking a break -“is there a problem with being involved in one’s school? this is not for socialization. i did this to help new comers to the school.”
I believe you -that you do this to help others, but you missed my point. You volunteered for this position and basically even though you want to help the newbees, this position requires socialization with members of the opposite gender, whether they are Jews or not. A Bas Yisroel shouldn’t take a position where they have to socialize with the other gender. You aren’t answering their math questions, which requires absolutely no socializing.
It’s funny, you keep hearing the same “kid” supposedly each time. I don’t believe a word of it. Ya know why? Because each time something happens this “kid” has the same message. These people have a plan to use any tragedy to push their agenda. So what’s wrong with this? Because Hashem wrote 613 Mitzvos in the Torah, not just Kedusha. Stop finding fault in e/o else and look at yourself. I bet I could find plenty wrong with you, so stop with the I’m better than thou attitude! Take these tragedies to improve yourself, not to find fault in others!
i love coffe – No one here (Lkwd) would say all sunglasses aren’t Tzinus!
taking a break – Not to condone the guy’s behavior, but what’s a Frum girl doing joining student gov., esp. when it’s basically just socializing?
taking a break – Most of my schooling was in the medical field and what your college is asking people to do is far from the norm.
I would get out of this assignment and ask them how come they do it, when no one else does?
Sam2 – Ya know -I figured it was there; not something that would probably occur here, even in the most Farfrumt communities.
Taking a break – You seem to be avoiding the point me and minyan gal brought up. What kind of school does this? I’ve been in many colleges – Jewish and not and not one has ever done this.
If you put a guy in an awkward situation, it might not be so surprising when he does something wrong, esp. if he never had any coed experience before.
Why do take it as whatever the college proclaims is the norm?
Did anyone question this college’s absurd policy?
I blame the college a lot more than the guy. This is called being “Dan L’caf Zecus”!
AYC -“sunglasses are not tznius?!”
FALSE.
EYECATCHING sunglasses may not be tzniusdik.”
While most posters here would probably agree with this statement, I went back to the origins of this topic. In the “boys chewing gum” topic Sam posts that in a certain neighborhood they say all sunglasses aren’t Tzinus. Whether he is mistaken because he didn’t hear this directly -first hand -who knows?
“Cuomo is evil.”
Maybe he is, but don’t fool yourself that this is the only reason that these events are happenning. E/o has to look at themselves.
What bothers me about comments like Joes’, is that people tend to blame others and forget to look inwards, like I posted above.
Tomche -“They can tell us why the earthquake and hurricane happened, and what we must do.”
I’ll tell you why these things happen and I don’t have Ruach Hakodesh. It’s because we don’t keep the Mitzvos and everytime something happens, we find an excuse to blame s/o else instead of looking inwards. People here blamed the Toeiva marriage – if this is a reason, it’s a small reason because most Frum jews were against this. So again stop the denial and look at yourself what You can do to improve. And if s/o is such a Baal Gaivah and thinks that he/she is perfect, that’s the first place to start -your Gaivah!
Ron -“May the Lord bless and keep Hurricane Irene . . . . far away from us.”
I just told s/o this joke last week. You’re forgetting the most important part -the pun. keep the Czar or Tzar (pain) away from us.
Oh – I’ve seen them and I’m not looking for it – I don’t belong to the Tzinus police.
I wouldn’t go to a school where I was paired with anyone. What kind of Mishagas is this? Imagine if you were paired with a goy. The only time I was ever paired with anyone – was in class assignments. The college has no business pairing anyone for any type of social reason, even for something like this. This is totally ridiculous. I hope this isn’t a Jewish owned college.
PBA -“Sure, there may be some which are not tznius. But it won’t be because they are fashionable.”
So we agree that not all sunglasses out there are ok to wear.
My son went and I hope he stays a few days or a least till Mon.
mommamia22 -“Health -Do you wear sunglasses?”
I have a pair of clip-ons that I keep in the car and wear as needed.
PBA -“This is retarded. Women are allowed and encouraged to wear things which are only made for fashion. For example, jewelery.”
There is nothing wrong for women to wear things for fashion, but it has to be in a Tzinusdike manner. Would you consider it Tzinusdik for a woman to have those humongous earrings or s/o whose necklace goes around many times and is made up of diamonds that anybody who looks has to squint? Do you consider it ok for a woman to wear a bright red dress even if everything is covered properly?
There are wearing things that others do in a nice way and others do it a not nice way.
Perhaps you haven’t seen the women wearing these loud sunglasses, like a lot of posters here, so you think that this is some troll.
mommamia22 -“People are not taking leisurely walks, spending loads of time outdoors.”
True, but they drive around all the time. If they wear the same sunglasses then, then fine. Most people you will see, somehow misplaced their sunglasses during the winter.
mewho & Charlie – I said most, not e/o. If you wear them all year round, it wouldn’t be a problem.
TweetTweet -The problem is people don’t stay indoors. If you want to go to shul, only go to one very close by. Don’t drive unless you have to.
They (Most) are only wearing them to attract attention. This is Ossur just like wearing a Bright red dress. I like the fact e/o comes up with the safety issue to circumvent the truth. So how do I know that this is the reason? Because you won’t find them wearing them in the winter, even when the glare is worse from the sun because of snow & ice, than the summer.
Toi – Too bad he isn’t an English subject teacher, then maybe you could learn how to spell and write English!
“Even Levi Aron can do teshuva.”
If he’s insane (Shoita), he doesn’t have to.
Chacham -“also after a certain point there is a reyusa against the rov”
Not possible. For example with wheat even if you eat more than the surplus of last year, which almost never happens – still most of the wheat of this year is from a winter crop, also Yoshon, so you will never lose that Rov. And when you eat, even in other things (not wheat) you just don’t eat from the Yoshon, you eat from all of it, so I don’t possibly see how you can ever lose that Rov, if you started with a surplus. Now I see why having a basic knowledge of Math (like high school Math) is needed in life. We have a whole movement of Yoshon and I don’t see why!
600 Kilo Bear -“In any case the point is moot. No MO school is going to accept a new student for senior year (age 17) and there is no more time to even try because classes start the week after next.”
In this particular case, you’re probably right, but I see no harm in trying. And if getting into a MO school is hard at this point, can you imagine trying to get him into a regular Yeshiva now?!?
“Adjustment issues is a polite way of saying that the MO school won’t work out either which means back to square one.
It has happened in almost every instance I know of where someone tried that route – and the end result was complete OTD.
MO is a completely different world. Just the more rigorous secular studies program would cause more problems for a bochur coming from a regular yeshiva. So would the social order.”
Like I just posted to MP, it really depends which direction the kid is going. If he wants to be given a second chance and is upset with his behavior, a more rigorous program will help him excel and build his self-esteem. If on the other hand, they are on they way down, then you’re correct he will become OTD and possibly bring others along. This is when you need to get the kid professional help or into one of these “schools” made for guys like this!
MP -“this student, and fellow classmates. I PERSONALLY know of so many kids from more religious schools who were expelled, went to more modern schools, and ended in far worse trouble, and caused other classmates to stumble, eventually giving the class, and even the entire school, a bad name.”
I was recommending what is good for the student, not necessarily the school.
“I think MO schools should NOT accept students who were expelled from more religious schools. There are schools specially made for students like that in most large cities.”
Granted I can agree with this statement, but there aren’t that many of these types of schools. If every city/town had enough, you wouldn’t have so many of these kids in the street. Also, a lot of these schools aren’t really schools, more like places for them to be – where they can learn a little, work a little and hang out.
I personally think, it really depends on whether the kid is on the way up or down. If he/she is on the way up, a MO school with structure would be the most beneifcial. On the other hand, if the kid is on the way down, they will cause damage to the MO school, like you said.
Adding to my last comment: I went to the USDA ERS table of the following:
Wheat Data: Yearbook Tables
Wheat: Supply and disappearance
And for the last 3 years and for many years before that, there was always a surplus supply in millions of bushels every year, even after exporting whatever we exported. So much for no surplus in this country.
I just checked the surplus for Durum, rye, barley & oats. They all had surpluses every year carried over to the next year, even after all the imports and exports.
Toi -“thats not really a solution; more like an admitted defeat. this kid needs a shoulder to cry on and then to man up and take control.”
It depends on how you look at it. Granted the kid should have worked on himself, but isn’t now a little too late as far as yeshivos go? He has already been thrown out. Once you’re thrown out, it’s almost impossible to get into a regular Yeshiva nowadays. This reminds me of a Moshol from the C.C. -A kid was selling apples in the street. A thief came along and started grabbing apples, so the boy started crying. An adult there said stop crying and grab what you can for yourself. I think the CC uses this by -if s/o is at the end of Shmoneh Esray and didn’t have Kavanah till then, you should at least have Kavanah for the last part. But it could be applied to many things.
So what do you think is better to hang out in the streets or go to a MO yeshiva?
hello 99 -“Since then, the majority of wheat in the market, except for winter wheat, is Chadash.
Furthermore, the Rema’s heter, really from Teshuvos HaRosh is based on an intersting sfek sfeika. Since today this information can be easily clarified, as Rav Herman does, one may no longer rely on a sfek sfeika (which anyways is not relevant when the majority is Chadash).”
There is a big agenda here in America to push Vaday Yoshon. Some Frum companies have made millions on this. I don’t know where you got your statistics from, but it seems that it comes from the group whose agenda was to push the Vaday Yoshon on e/o!
I decided to look up the statistics myself and not rely on MDG who brings data from 1996. Let me say that I think the problem with the Rema’s (or the Teshuvos HaRosh) Sfek Sfeika is that it is really only one Safek, of whether this is Yoshon or not. But even so, the MB brings Achronim whom say – that you can be Mekil in things that mostly were planted in Chodesh Nissan (or before) (and harvested after Pesach).
Acc. to the USDA most of the wheat produced in this country this year and many previous years is winter wheat. This automatically makes most wheat in this country Yoshon. Even what you eat in the winter months most of it has to be Yoshon. It’s not possible or very unlikely that we ate up most of the winter wheat. Like I just posted, the MB has no problem being Meikil on where there is a Rov. His screaming(both in MB and BH) is on the other Heterim. Oats I looked up takes about 11 months to grow, so again you have a Rov that it’s Yoshon. Rye is mostly a winter crop.
Durum wheat which becomes pasta, you can say the final product is not mostly wheat (there are many ingredients) and even if it is – maybe it’s not all Durum (Chodosh) but mixed with other Yoshon grains (which they do a lot of times). So you would have a Sfek Sfeika. Barley you would have to come onto – is it called from the Chameshes Mini Dogon which you had it out with Sam about.
I’ll admit the last two aren’t such great Heterim, but I personally don’t care because I dislike eating them. I really try not to eat pasta and/or barley. I hate when people put barley in the Chulent!
hello 99- What about pregnancy complicated by disease? Example – woman has a heart problem. Giving birth to a child could potentially be life threatening. Is it Mutter to abort?
600 Kilo bear – “An MO school will not help because it will be too hard to adjust to a completely different framework for someone who has already had adjustment issues.”
While your whole comments are based on what would be the best situation possible, you aren’t living in reality. Reality is most yeshivos will throw out for talking to girls. If somehow you can change this situation, by all means do it. Maybe you can start your own Yeshiva and have more lenient rules. The Frum Yeshivos that I know – won’t allow a boy to talk to girls.
But my comments are based on reality – what is the best in the situation right now. If you want to say the lesser of two evils, fine. Is it better to hang out in the streets or go to a MO yeshiva, where there might be some adjustment issues?
Hacham -I don’t know what R. Dessler said, but your comment can’t be attibuted to him -Shlomah Hamelech said it.
