    You get paid for pesach even if you don’t go in on Chol Hamoed? Wow.

    rabbi_dr- my hygienist and dentist always tell me I’m doing a great job taking care of my teeth… I do brush, floss and mouthwash twice a day for two weeks preceding my appointment. The rest of the year… only when I’m in the mood. I do love milk and baby carrots though, so I usually don’t have any cavities or plaque. Munching on some baby carrots right now…

    JasonX- take into account that you’re not getting an accurate representation of us here. I’m very different in real life, as I know who I’m talking to. Everyone is suspicious here that other sn are fake. For all you know, I’m fake and am really an old chinese grandfather. Hey- I shouldn’t have told you that.

    My great-grandfather pretended to be a foreign minister and got into the Vatican. This was right after the second world war. He saw golden spoons that were labeled as being from the Bais Hamikdash. They would never let on that they have them to the outside world though…

    WIY- I guess that’s why my questions were different. They weren’t questions about what other people do, or should be doing.

    I was a teen with a lot of questions and was not labeled teen at risk. Some teachers ignored my questions altogether, some just repeated what they had said previously as if that were an answer. I did have a few teachers that were really great. They either answered my question or told me that they don’t know the answer and they’ll try to look it up for me for the next day… I did make sure to put on my most innocent face when asking a question though. If a teacher suspects that the question is being asked just to disturb the lesson even if she’s a good teacher she’ll be angry.

    She was trained in CPR. Just because she worked in a facility where most people aren’t trained doesn’t mean her waiting means doing nothing.

    Maybe before starting on makeup start on skin care products to clear up that acne. It will be more kavod for pesach. If you live in Brooklyn you should be able to buy kosher for pesach lipstick. You can buy makeup with built in sunscreen.

    As I wrote, CBS said company policy was to wait with the resident until EMS arrives. She interpreted waiting as sitting at the patients side. In my lifeguarding course we’re also told to wait until EMS arrives. We’re also told that while we’re waiting we should administer first aid/oxygen/cpr/aed as needed.

    aproudbyg- when you talk to your mother in a calm setting does she explode? If not, perhaps explain to her gently that you can’t continue living like this. If she doesn’t go to parenting classes and therapy for her anger management issues you will go to Ohel to find you a foster home. Say it really nicely though, and full of compliments for her good times. It’s very possible that she has a psychiatric disorder such as bipolar that can be causing this.

    When I was in Israel I brought home whatever I was able to Pesach time as well as a suitcase for a friend that was staying in Israel. I also asked a relative to take home a suitcase for me at the end of the year. Plus I was allowed two pieces of luggage…

    In the CBS article it states that there was no DNR, but it was the policy of the retirement home that in case of emergency staff should call 911 and wait with the resident until EMS arrives.

    There are two options for that sentence:

    2) The Chazon Ish was the fiercest anti-zionist

    take our pick.

    I think the original article said that this was not an assisted living facility but a retirement home of sorts. This was next door to the assisted living facility owned by the same company and the policy was only not to do cpr in the retirement home.

    Weddings were always major events, but I don’t think people went bankrupt for the night of the wedding itself in previous generations. It’s very possible that I’m wrong, because I haven’t really looked into it. You know how much sisters of the kallah spend on their gowns these days? The price of one gown, counting inflation probably would have paid for half of a wedding two hundred years ago.

    I know. My school thought I’m going according to which teachers I like when I got great scores in science and history and not so great at math. They forced me to get evaluated, and the results showed clearly that I think in a different way than most people which makes it hard for me to learn math. It did prove to the school though that I was smart enough for them and wasn’t deliberately slacking.

    Sam2- I’m not talking about in the wild. I’m talking about in a plant. In the woods you won’t find them directly on the ground- either on the roots of trees or on leaves. Therefore, they are not living off the ground, but they do feed on the grains in the factory.

    I got a lot of my hashkafa education from simpletoremember.com. I don’t think I would have asked my questions in school- they would have simply gone unanswered. I think these shiurim are fantastic, and are one of the reasons the internet should exist for. It really strengthened my yiddishkeit.

    Problem is I have a different analogy… would you even try eating it if there was a chance that there is some dishsoap mixed in? Anyone who ever tasted dishsoap by mistake would say no.

    Nursing might not be a great idea- there are a lot of frum nurses looking for jobs. Nutritionists are in demand, so if you do psychology and nutrition together you could make a decent parnassah.

    plastic tablecloths often contain starches that are genuine chametz. Perhaps the same is true for other plastics.

    apushatayid- the same applies to all preparations for Shabbos, including when baking challah and bleaching the bathroom. I know some people have a hard time balancing on a wet tiled floor in heels, but that’s just one of the things you have to get used to to be a proper yidishe mamme… 🙂

    notasheep- they sometimes coat the plastics with oils and such. if you rinse it out soap and water before using it shouldn’t be a problem, but the kashrus issue isn’t that the workers will eat over the machines.
