Hmm. maybe I’ll eat another mango one.
November 20, 2013 7:42 pm at 7:42 pm in reply to: How to deal with rowdy, chutzpadik and/or mean kids #988146popa_bar_abbaParticipantSounds like you are more asking advice on how to deal with yourself.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI just ate a chobani fat free greek yogurt with pomegranate for lunch. It had pomegranate seeds on the bottom, which seemed strange to me when I crunched them. But it was good.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantTaller people are usually fatter.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI have heard there is a minhag atik in artzos habris that if you are lighting big getchkes on fire, it should be on the front lawn, and while wearing your kittel and tallis over your head.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantmaybe it’s a curse to the lactose intolerant, because it teases them that then they think they can almost eat it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt is considered 4. Because each flight to get there is also considered one. Because you think of the other person while you are on the plane.
Thus, if she comes in to lakewood once, and he goes to Detroit once, they have gone out 8 times and should get engaged. Assuming that she is not taller than him.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThere are two Ner Israel yeshivos in baltimore, but they share the same building, name, and facilities. But sit on different sides of the beis medrash.
One is mostly for bochurim in their first few years post high school, and these bochurim usually end up in eretz yisroel and then Lakewood.
The other is mostly for bochurim who are returning from yeshivos in eretz yisroel such as Beis Yisroel, and are going to college at night.
So you really need to be specific which Ner Israel you are talking about. You can know which one a boy is in by asking how many years out of high school he is, and whether he is in college.
November 19, 2013 11:33 pm at 11:33 pm in reply to: Positive reinforcement for good behaviors #988055popa_bar_abbaParticipantWritersoul: exactly, thank you for undrestanding my point. I don’t believe in manipulating kids into doing things regardless of that it is for a good purpose.
You should speak positively because you are yourself a positive person and actually see people that way-not because it “works”. Obedience school is for dogs.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantplite: You can get normal fat-free yogurt as well. That isn’t what the straining does. You are being fed garbage, both literally and metaphorically.
(But you are correct that the protein ratio in greek yogurt is much higher)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantPeople also get exhilerated taking other large risks that don’t include death. For example gambling.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantCount me in.
November 19, 2013 5:52 pm at 5:52 pm in reply to: ERROR: Could not establish a database connection #997620popa_bar_abbaParticipantProbably the brilliance of my posting is overwhelming the system.
November 19, 2013 5:16 pm at 5:16 pm in reply to: ERROR: Could not establish a database connection #997616popa_bar_abbaParticipantProbably people are trying to buy health care on the site, so it shuts down.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t get this greek yogurt nonsense. It’s just yogurt. Buy the one that doesn’t say greek–it tastes the same and is cheaper.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYes, when my kid does well in school I scratch him behind the ears.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI once dated someone on the CR. I said she was 46 years old and (I still think) I was precisely correct.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhat, without asking, hither hurried whence;
and, without asking, whither hurried hence!!
(this thread)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantFor those who are currently off:
Do you generally consider yourself more at home in Dunkin Donuts or while smoking hookah? Please note your profession if relevant (eg. police officer)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantFor those of you who went off:
Was it because the outside people came to your shabbos table and pulled you off, or did they bring you to their dunkin donuts and draw you in?
November 18, 2013 10:55 pm at 10:55 pm in reply to: A story about Everybody, Nobody, Anybody, and Somebody #987880popa_bar_abbaParticipantMoral of the story is to have your excuse in early so that you are not grouped with everybody.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDon’t eat your own pet.
It has very big mandibles, because it’s an alpha fish
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhy mandy?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOf course you hate school. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t. I hate school too (they cost too much and turn your kids brain into mush).
I’ve actually seen a study that tracked kids from when they entered school until the finished, and showed that the level on new growth in their brains drops precipitously over that period, and does not come back.
November 17, 2013 1:41 pm at 1:41 pm in reply to: Why do women get blamed for getting divorced? #994126popa_bar_abbaParticipantBecause its always the women who insist on the divorce. The men are content to just separate and live apart and fight over the money and the kids. Its always the wife who insists on the get.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI just bought a new variety pack. Probably like half of them have pig fat in it. I suppose I’ll have to call these irresponsible twits and ask.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMy third (and prettiest) wife says Machon Raaya is good.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantCousins, huh? Cousins are very good at knowing what you needed when you were 9. I’d sooner listen to a shidduch from Joseph than from a cousin.
In any event, suit yourself. Seminary is a scam anyway.
November 15, 2013 4:24 pm at 4:24 pm in reply to: This isn't my thread title. Please change it. #987070popa_bar_abbaParticipantLOL
popa_bar_abbaParticipantReally writersoul? You’re applying there? I figured you were smart enough for a real seminary.
(I still think so, BTW. Try BJJ, Bnos Sara, Bnos Chava, and a few more that I haven’t heard of. My wives all agree.)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI doubt the ultraOrthodox divorce rate is anywhere close to 10%. Of the roughly 90 weddings I went to over the past 10 years only 3 ended in divorce.
They’re probably including people with a x-mas tree in their house as modern orthodox like the pew study.
But just to pick on your statistics, some people get divorced after 10 years also you know.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWe should be better than the goyim- that’s why I’m comparing!
Sure, but you are making a correlation where there obviously are confounding variables which make the correlation likely inapplicable here.
That is, in the general population, they get married old, have lots of divorce, and the younger marriers get more divorced.
In our world, we get married young, and have much less divorce. You can’t assume that the correlation that the younger marriers are getting more divorced holds.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantCleaning is an unnecessary and harmful tactic used by women to distract their husbands from wholesome beer drinking.
Men of the world unite!! Fight back!!
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt has been proven beyond doubt that couples who marry at younger ages are more likely to get divorced than those who are older when getting married..
That might be because they live longer after their marriage.
In the frum velt, girls and boys commonly get married very young compared to the national average. This might be the reason behind growing divorce rates. Just a thought.
On the other hand, our divorce rate is a fraction of theirs, so why in the world would you think to compare that?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantLet’s also just make explicit that there’s a difference between a full size car like a Camry, and a compact like an Echo.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantlol, posting a story about your husband means you’re married? How many times have I posted about my husband?
Let’s put it this way: If torah is married, then so am I.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantTry cracking that open and seeing a babyer one inside. That’s a real hoot.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIf my husband liked cooking but he was bad at it, I would buy him a pick up truck with a rifle rack and a rifle and a collection of fine scotch
popa_bar_abbaParticipant22
November 12, 2013 5:09 pm at 5:09 pm in reply to: A Suitably Vague Thread Title That You Will Need Your Brain To Interpret #987052popa_bar_abbaParticipantAgree with VM
November 12, 2013 3:30 pm at 3:30 pm in reply to: A Suitably Vague Thread Title That You Will Need Your Brain To Interpret #987049popa_bar_abbaParticipantI once upon a time saw big piles of driftwood on the beach, but then figured out that it was really dried seaweed. Because seaweed washes up much better than driftwood apparently.
So if you aren’t drifting up as fast as you’d like, it’s just a sign that you aren’t seaweed.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m with OP on this. When I give people rides, I cap it at 3 passengers unless there is a really great need.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOld man is a funny name for a seld identified half literate adolescent.
(Also, welcome back, seems like I haven’t seen you for a bit)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYou should have told her to ask, so that we could all tell HER that it isn’t worth it and to just clean so you’ll be happy.
Also, I agree with all the above posters.
And it isn’t a stirah, you both need your needs met.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYes, I became satmar.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantTroll, troll, troll.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m a man. You heard it from me.
Do you expect your brother or a guy you met to admit to it?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNo, men were here first. We are the ones made from Earth (literally). You women are the ones from venus.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantstreetgeek: Do you think men and women think similarly regarding anything else in the world? So why would you think it is the same for this?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantVM: Shhh, not so loud, I’m trying to make him feel better about himself.
