    “Rav Moshe Wolfson says that having payos behind the ears circumvents a kabalistic problem of mixing beard hair with payos hair,”

    Interesting. I know of a certain big talmid chacham (litvish) who twists his peyos into his beard. someone told me it was al pi Kabbalah.

    When did it become in style to get drunk on Purim? Sources close to me tell me that in European yeshivos, Bochurim didn’t get dtunk on Purim. (They did on Simchas Torah.)
    Americans of old have barely heard of the halacha.
    How recent is this?

    rocky, ujm, and maybe others are not understanding me. An airline may impose any rule it wants. The question specifically was whether the federal law forcing the passengers to wear masks, as well as the airline to enforce said law, is unconstitutional.

    Further, the question wasn’t whether it’s constitutional to set laws upon an airplane, such as requiring wearing pants. The question was whether prohibiting the travel, including entry into the country or a different state, was unconstitutional.

    So the answer seems to be that airline commerce is different. Thanks, GH, CTL. I’ll research that and speak later.

    “The way some people are wired they need human connection way more frequently.”
    Some people are wired that they need food way more frequently, but that doesn’t give them a right to steal your groceries. Some people are wired that they need sleep way more frequently, but they don’t end up in your bed.

    “Don’t waste their time either and wait half a conversation for them to pick up on hints. ” Two things wrong. A) Wasting THEIR time???? Huh? B) I don’t.
    “An immediate and considerate, “Sorry really busy right now, you’re kinda interrupting my flow – please let me get back to you later,” can go a long way.”
    I achieve the same thing with about a twelfth of those words.

    “By “internet office” do you mean a “shared workspace” and if so, is it one of those with small private offices/individual cubicles or a large room with long tables where you simply set up your laptop and use their Wi-Fi??”
    It’s a room with lots of computers, but if u get permission you’re allowed to bring your own. There are two rooms, the main one each computer is divided by a divider from the next one. It’s mainly for people who don’t use it for a long time. There’s a different room for more kavua people. Both rooms have this issue.

    “If you are forced to be in a place with strangers, maybe think about them as family, and count time you are talking with them as cheated ( and talk accordingly). One of the baalei musar was overheard asking a farmer about his chicken and at the same time murmuring gemora to himself.”
    Maybe I should think about them like farmers and murmur gemara to myself.
    But yeah, I do count time talking with them as cheated, and talk accordingly. Maybe you didn’t gather that from my first post.

    A man in Paris saw a pit bull attacking a toddler. He killed the pit bull and saved the child’s life. Reporters swarmed the fellow to cover the story.
    “Tell us! What’s your name? All Paris will love you! Tomorrow’s headline will be: ‘Paris Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!'”

    The man said, “But I’m not from Paris.”

    Reporters: “That’s OK. Then the whole of France will love you, and tomorrow’s headline will read: ‘French Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!'”

    The man said, “I’m not from France, either.”

    Reporters: “That’s OK also. All of Europe will love you. Tomorrow’s headlines will shout: ‘Europe’s Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!'”

    The man said, “I’m not from Europe, either.”

    pretty famous joke. but if u didn’t hear it yet, it’s a good one.

    A lawyer is driving down the street in his sports car when he sees the most miserable looking man he’s ever seen. His clothes are torn and dirty, he’s skinny as skin, and his glasses are held together with a string.
    “Sir,” he asks, rolling down the window, “have you eaten anything today?”
    “No,” the man said. “Except for some grass.”
    “Oh my goodness,” the lawyer says. “Well, hop in the car. I’ll take you over to my estate.”
    The man can’t believe his good fortune and eagerly hops into the car. “Can my wife and child come, too?” he asks.
    “Yes,” the lawyer responds, “But I’m in a bit of a hurry.”
    “They’re just down the block,” the man says, pointing. “I have elderly parents who are ill. Maybe they can come along?”
    “Sure, sure,” the lawyer says. “We just have to hurry.”
    “And how about my sister in law? She’s been living with us for the past month, after she was evicted.”
    “As long as we do it fast,” the lawyer says, a tad impatiently, “I don’t care how many people. The grass in my backyard is over foot long.”

    You guys might know history, but your linguistic skills need practice.
    Good thing you frequent the coffee room.
    You may have noticed that this thread (as of now) says “12” in the voices (a reference to “posters”) column, but “15” in the posts. That, even though ujm and GH both have multiple, non-successive posts. Interruption doesn’t turn someone into another person, and it doesn’t turn them into a different president.

    I’m driving along a bridge when suddenly a car crashes into my trunk. I lurch forward; luckily, I was wearing a seatbelt, and lived to post this tale. I get out onto the shoulder of the road to inspect the damage–pretty bad, mind you–and the crashing driver also does.

    Anyway, we schmooze a bit, and he reveals that he’s a CR mod. I told him I’m Participant. So he says, “you know what? I think this is a sign from Above that we put our differences aside and become friends.”
    “That’s right!” I enthused. “Let’s drink a lechayim to this!”
    I get a bottle of Scotch from the passenger seat–luckily it wasn’t in the trunk–and offer it to the mod.
    He takes a long swig and hands it back to me. “Your turn. Enjoy.”
    “Nah,” I said, promptly tossing the bottle into the ocean below. “I’ll just wait for the police to show up.”
