Someone told the baby about all that CO and she said -“I’m out of here now”!
I have a combo talking- CO & fire. Most people don’t buy the photoelectric type -too expensive. Even if CO accumulates first at the bottom, you don’t need to be warned till it hits the ceiling. So no problem with placing it on the ceiling.
SJS – Teaneck is in Jersey, so why SJS in NYC?
I think it’s safer to leave the oven on, than the stove. The stove with the blech is good for shabbos, not for a two day yom tov. I keep the oven on “warm” and raise it as needed. You can lower it again if you don’t want the food to get overcooked or while the light is off.
zahavasdad- “If you are not Majoring in Biology or Chemistry you dont have to take them”
Wrong! If you’re going into the Health sciences, most require Bio & Chem!
dunno – Read TweetTweet’s post. It wasn’t bad in my day and now it’s even better. Don’t spread Motzay shem rah!
MiI – And I hope you’re putting the baby on her back to sleep.
“Choshuve people by whose definition?”
Hey Joe, you’re batting two for two. It’s the second time I agree with you, first with the Jerusalem not for sale post and now here.
Just as a reminder, go out tomorrow and vote for H. Herskowitz. We need transparency in this town. Enough with giving every special interest group whatever they want. You want to do chessed, fine, with your money, not with the taxpayers money!
My suggestion -go to a community college for the first two years or a Frum college -it’s much easier than an university. Even though it’s the same material, the univ. can sometimes make it much harder for no reason. Learn from my mistakes.
“I heard that it’s gross inside”
Like any dorm, it’s how you keep it. Generalizations are never accurate. Anybody can keep their room neat as a pin, if they want to.
And like the other dorms are nicer?!?
SJS -“However, I have yet to see really balanced information from either side.”
That’s because you haven’t looked at the research papers, yet. They are a little bit complicated for the non-medical professional like you, but I think you can manage.
“What I want to know is what parent here would want their child to go through an uneccesary medical procedure that, while having small benefits, has uneccesary risks associate with it as well?”
Because a lot of the benefits aren’t small. It could very well save this male’s life later on.
“Just understand that there are many people who are MEDICALLY opposed to routine circumcision.”
Just you understand that they are fooling themselves. The benefits to circumcise outweigh any risks innvolved!
SJS – “Hello, not recommending means they aren’t against the procedure when needed, but that it isn’t necessary for every male child born in the US.”
Hello back. Wrong, it means they aren’t against it if even if it isn’t needed!
“Just about every study uses conjecture. There are almost no absolutes in this world.”
Wrong again. The studies I saw were real medical studies, not conjectures. While some of the research might not be conclusive, a lot is. Why don’t you read some of them, instead of getting all your info from the Anti-Milah sites?
“I do think its important to understand where the other side is coming from and not be blinded by research from one side.”
Yes, I’ve been doing that the whole time and I thought you were too. You were saying their point is to illegaliize it because medically its’ risks outweigh the benefits, in other words its’ dangerous. But this is not based on the truth! So far, the reasons I have are they are antisemites and anti-religion. Some actually might not be and believe the procedure is painful and therefore feel it should be outlawed. But those who purport medical reasons are simply lying!
Mike -“I have never seen such a hateful attack.”
And I thought my attack on BT’s was the most hateful.
Mike makeup your mind!
“Bochur1818, I know as a young person it is shocking to see such hatefulness within the frum world. As you get older unfortunately this is something that you will see more and more of.”
Unfortunately the Torah says -“If you hate, you get hated back”.
If you hate the frum Jews against the Medina, then you get hated back! May I remind you that this topic was started cursing out yidden who don’t celebrate Yom Yerushalayim.
If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen!
bochur – “Had we merely “taken it” like you said, we would all be dead by now!”
Just because a person/people do/does something wrong doesn’t mean Hashem destroys you on the spot. It’s called Bechira.
“This is “reishit smichat legeulateinu”!!!
Bochur -This statement is Kefira.
Even Charlie said – “My rav told me that Rav Soloveitchik z’tz’l did not like “reshit semichat geulateinu”.
“We finally have a Jewish state! Look at all the yeshivos and bnei Torah funded by the government! kefirah?”
Yup, it is! Obviously them supporting Bnei Torah and yeshivos isn’t, but the ideology is!
Dovid – “but you cannot say it dosen’t accomodate Yidden.”
I never said it didn’t. Don’t put words in my mouth!
Sender – An old Square dance song. Here are the words:
“Hey little Johhny -Whatcha doin’ in the market? Not buying, not sellin, just makin trouble.
Oh whoa, pick a bail of cotton.
Oh whoa, pick a bail of hay.
“the eyes would many times have red spots, almost looking bloodshot…sound familiar now? or was that just our camera?”
What the poster is saying is this didn’t happen with black & white pictures only with the color pictures of yesteryear.
coffee addict – So IYO, you can only be a Ben Torah if you learn most of the day??!?!
good.jew – So what if? A nurse can give an IV or anything else that is under nursing care if they have an order from a MD, DO, NP or PA. A medic can give one in an emergency situation only.
cherrybim –
A Ballimorean is more south than all those Miami Snowbirds, even the ones that roost there all year!
PBA – You forgot after 48 day of omer to post 48 years of age.
bochur1818 – You say you are a bochur, but where are you learning, that teaches such Crum thinking?
“If Hashem gives us control and sovereignty over the medinah, how could we not celebrate it?”
Hashem gave us control or the Tzionim took it?
“thanks for your most generous gift,”
Hashem will give us this gift with the coming of Moshiach!
“If this isn’t the beginning of the geulah, then what is?”
“(how is the medinah any different)”
It’s Kefirah and it’s based on Kefirah!
good.jew – I guess your argument in Court would be -if I could drink it, what’s the difference if I put it through my/his veins?
Even drawing blood is considered a medical procedure!
You remind me of a lawyer I know. His client was arrested holding a TV outside an electronics store that was just broken into. The lawyer said -“Who said he stole it? He just found it there outside.” Never the less, he lost that case. But, nice try!
SJS -“Although, I have learned not to really debate with you because you try to twist everything without making sense, so I’ll let the AAP statement stand.”
Some people you have to repeat your argument over and over because they can’t see anyone else’s opinion.
I know what the AAP says, why do you keep repeating it?
“So tell me, do you think 117 babies should die each year for an elective procedure?”
“There are plenty of children who die directly or indirectly due to their circumcision. That doesn’t include the botch jobs that cause other issues.”
“Many people are anti-circumcision because they don’t believe in removing body parts just because.”
The statements of yours’ that I just quoted imply that the reason people are against it is because there are only risks with circumcision. You keep arguing that you should outlaw an elective procedure because of risks.
But the problem is -you only tell half a story. You fail to mention the medical benefits of circumcision. You pretend that because the AAP doesn’t recommend it, that it must be the risks outweigh the benefits. The Truth is the AAP Policy puts that decision in the parent’s hand -to decide whether to circumcise or not.
All your posts implicate the following falsehoods:
1. The AAP must really think that circumcision is not healthy because they don’t recommend it.
2. There are deaths, in other words risks, associated with circumcision, so therefore they (the Anti-Milah) are justified in making it illegal.
The Truth:
1. AAP is not against it/ nor do they think it’s unhealthy, just they won’t recommend it because some of the data is not conclusive.
2. There are definitely medical authors who say the benefits outweigh the risks. And even the AAP who don’t hold this, don’t say the risks outweigh the benefits. They just leave it up to the family to make a decision on the child.
3. There is no medical justification to outlaw circumcision; if any law should be made, it should be to force people to have one. Why? Because -many authorities hold that the benefits outweigh the risks, but I’m not advocating forcing this on people!
A before and after CT. Take them for a CT now and in six months repeat. Let them keep both to amaze their friends!
Chacham – So you believe you can divorce your wife if she won’t come with you to live in the old city? Do you have any Poiskim that agree with you?
“So how come you wrote -We are still in Golus and goyim still go up everyday onto the Har Habayis. This is a terrible disgrace. So what are you celebrating exactly?”
“This statement I agree with, but most celebrating Yom Yerushalyim are celebrating the Medina and not Hashem!”
In this order do you understand now? They are celebtating the Medina (IMO), so what did the Medina do so great? They angered the goyim causing a war in ’48 and a progrom in ’29. And even though they liberated the Kosel, if they cared a twit about Hashem and his Kovod, they would have liberated the Har Habayis too. So these wars have nothing to do with Yiddishkeit and we owe them absolutely No Hakoras Hatov! All the Nissim are not occuring because of people Whom Don’t keep the Torah!
Bomb – That’s your prejorative and mine is to say maybe/maybe not.
goldenkint – I don’t understand you “frum” Tzionim. I already posted this before- “This statement I agree with, but most celebrating Yom Yerushalyim are celebrating the Medina and not Hashem!”
“Yom Yerushalayim is not about the idf and not about tsiyonim…”
Why do you keep posting this falsehood? Except for the few “frum” Tzionim, most Zionists & Israelis are celebrating the “Medina”! Keep talking it into yourselves that it has to do with Hashem and his Nissim! And just because Hashem is doing and has done Nissim, doesn’t mean the Geula has started (Ischalta D’geula)!
Chacham – You totally missed my point and tried to make me look like I don’t know what I’m talking about. I really wasn’t going into the Machlokes Rabbam & Raavad. My point was the kedusha isn’t the same as before, so I doubt you could find one Poisek that would tell you “Ok, divorce your wife because she won’t move to the old city with you”. With all the double talk, you think you proved my wrong. My point had nothing to do with that Machlokes directly.
KIsh Echad BLev Echad – You hit the nail on the head; Americans are becoming more & more like S’dom! They lie and say that the risks of Mila outweigh the benefits, in order to discredit religion. The same with marriage to all genders, another way to discredit religion.
SJSinNYC & charlie – You obviously didn’t read my post. The AAP doesn’t recommend one way or another. If you look at other scientific articles and add up all the health benefits it looks like the benefits outweigh the risks. So to present as an argument that the risks outweigh the benefits is absolutely FALSE!
“If people like you continue to put out falsehoods, we will lose this one.”
The only one putting out falsehoods is you! As a matter of fact, I saw today (when looking it up) an article in Pediatrics (from the AAP) about the health benefits regarding cancer because of circumcision. The authors then questioned why the AAP didn’t take into consideration the diseases that circumcision prevents when they came up with their policy on circumcision. They don’t give an answer. But I’ll tell you the reason because it’s not PC to argue with the “progressives” who are against circumcision!
PBA -Well I guess she doesn’t have to worry about something she doesn’t have.
Just a gripe about our socialist medical system. Now the regular insurance companies are getting so controlling. If a practioner writes a script that isn’t in the first line protocol, eg. Augmentin instead of Amoxil for ear infections, they send you a nasty letter saying that it wasn’t the first line drug and reminding you what the protocol is. I guess if you do it too much, they will remove you as a provider of their insurance. So watch out if you practice medicine, Big Brother is watching you!
bomb – I’ll explain it. I don’t believe their story and I don’t not believe it. It could be the Emes and it could not!
PBA – Now that probably would be legal. But if your sister’s malpractice insurance found out about it, they probably would null their coverage. Why? Because she is practicing in area that she has no experience in. Too risky to insure such a doc.
This happens in the ER/hospital all the time. Try and get a doctor to see a patient that isn’t in their area. I was in an ER (as a student) and was shmuzing with an Ob/gyn I knew. A patient or their family member (I don’t remember which) came over and asked the guy if he was a doc. He said yes. Then the guy started begging him for help for himself or his family member. He said, “I can’t -I’m Ob/gyn, not an ER doc”. But the guy said “But didn’t you go to medical school”? He said, “Yea, but he doesn’t want to take chances in other areas”. Now, IMO, the guy (pt) was desperate because obviously noone had seen the patient yet and time was of the essence. So why didn’t the doc go over -maybe he could help -you don’t forget everything you learned in school? So I think, even though I didn’t ask him, that maybe his malpractice wouldn’t cover him. Because I knew the guy and don’t think he was just one that doesn’t care about people!
Dovid S. -“The english protected Jews? Please…”
You obviously didn’t read what I posted.
I’ll post it again -“In 1928, there were changes in the British government and Britain began to compromise on the Balfour Declaration as they were also in need of Arab oil.”
Until this time they were pro-Jews and protected them from the Arab’s wrath!
“Health, sources please” Every single Godol who belonged to the Agudah, besides Satmar, was against creating a Medina! We obviously live in different circles and have diffeent views on who are/were the Gedolim!
bombmaniac – “Because they told me.”
Ohhh! “Now I see”, said the blindman.
PBA -“That’s ok. My brother is Hatzala, so he can do it. We just needed her to bring the equipment. Also, we figured she is probably better at it.”
So they both could go to Jail for practicing without a license. Only medics can start lines if they are working EMS. In other words, Paramedics work under protocols to practice medicine, either online or offline. Starting lines for no reason wouldn’t fall under any protocol. Maybe a PA could get away with it. The paramedic would have to prove that the line was necessary and they refused transport. A very unlikely scenario if you used a lot of fluid. Also the medic would be required to notify dispatch of an EMS call that he happenned to come across. So given all the factors it’s unlikely the medic would get away with it. A PA could just say “I wanted to prevent dehydration in my patient”. Also, it has to be the PA’s patient and the doctor’s practice area. In other words, if the PA’s doc doesn’t ever do housecalls, then the PA can’t go to his/her’s patient’s house to practice. Laws of medicine are extremely complicated, but they have state workers dedicated to find those providers who mess up.
bombmaniac – For my own curiosity -how do you know?
Chacham -“look in the hakdama of tzitz eliezer chelek 10.”
Why don’t you quote what he says, most people aren’t going to look it up?
LemonySnicket – “Ever heard of the 1929 arab pogroms? Almost 20 years before the “medina” was even created, arab savages murdered 133 Jews including 68 in Hebron just for the simple fact that they were living in the land of their Forefathers. It’s almost as if you’re making an excuse for the arab brutalities.”
Mr. Snicket – Pac man is absolutely right, but the hatred really came out after the Balfour declaration (1917). So why wait to attack till ’29?
Because the English protected and favored the Jews!
The following comes from a history web site, probably Tzioni, like you:
“In 1928, there were changes in the British government and Britain began to compromise on the Balfour Declaration as they were also in need of Arab oil. The Arabs began to incite violence against the Jews in Palestine and bloodshed began in 1929”
For a restaurant- go to Deal.
You could go to Point Pleasant to the Aquarium (Jenkinsons). I’ve seen a date at Allaire Park once. Really Lakewood ain’t a good place for dates. The nearest decent lounge is in Princeton.
Midwest2 – For my example, it would be too much National Geographic shows!
SJS -“And the benefits to routine circumcision are extremely small, the AAP has put out a statement for over ten years now that routine circumcision isn’t recommended.”
This statement is absolutely false. You obviously got it from one of those anti-circumcision sites. While it’s true that the AAP doesn’t recommend pro or against, if you look at the medical articles you would see benefits outweigh the risks. Now I can understand why the AAP remains neutral because they don’t want to get involved in politics, but if you would add everything up from preventing diseases- you see the benefits outweigh the risks. There are articles that circumcision prevents HIV and cancer. In case you don’t know, these diseases have a high incidence of death.
So it is an absolute lie that medically it’s better not to circumcize than yes. Even the ones from the Anti group who aren’t anti-semitic are probably against circumcision because of pain. But anyone claiming it’s not a good idea medically and therefore it should be banned, is either sadly misinformed or lying to themselves and everyone else too!
OdAmiChay- My post right before yours’ answers all your questions!
Dovid -“Not to mention that a great amount of Rabbonim, both Ashkenazim and Sfaradim, thought that the creation of Israel is Atchalta deGeulah.”
Gedolim said on those who thought this -“They made a big mistake”.
OAC -“Poppa, I guess you choose to omit the second half of the beracha.
And also Health, I gave you my source the beracha you say everyday. Where did you learn differently?”
If you learn like me -you have no Kasha on the second half!
You misinterpret the Tefilla -so I asked you who taught you your interpretation?
