left to write – love it.
ultimateskier – I don’t know you so I don’t know if you are joking or not, but let’s just say that I hope you are.
What about ginger-kale?
I’ve complained every time but he deletes most posts. In this case though, didn’t you notice that half thread disappeared shortly after it opened?
WIY – I think you misunderstood. My point was NOT whether or not people should be excused from talking. I personally don’t send my children to shul til they are older. What I said was that you can condemn the talking and work on putting an end to it, but some posters were asking to get rid of the people who are talking. Why not just find a way to help them stop? Why not daven that they should stop? Our job is to condemn and put an end to talking in shul. Our job is not to put an end to the people. That attitude that those who do something bad are bad is what has screwed up so many of our children for so many years. No talking should be allowed. Period. Anyone who talks is more than welcome to continue coming as long as they remain quiet.
please don’t what? I don’t know what you are referring to. I was giving shopping the answer she gave someone else with a similar beef.
dafyomi – some people who talk in shul are very interested in davening but can’t stay focused for that long. Feel free to toss the baby with the bathwater, I’d rather encourage their coming quietly. There is a huge difference between advocating for the cessation of all talking, and advocating for the cessation of all talkers. The later is not a Torahdik concept.
shoppin613 – Here’s the (not so kind in my opinion) response you gave someone else who was having problems with the site:
“. . . this website is an outlet for all different types of people, if you don’t like the content here of the members then you can leave”
ICOT – mastered the unicycle, working now on a giraffe unicycle.
And your need to answer his humor with rudeness was . . .?
My daughter learned the parshios to the tune of ‘twinkle twinkle little star’.
I didn’t listen this year because my kids who used to listen grew out of it. I thought last year was already a different format and was disappointing. Maybe Lipa didn’t do it this year because he got tired of waking people up to tell them they won big prizes and having them not really care less. I was always amazed by the lack of enthusiasm he would receive.
I thought the reference meant that it IS supposed to be clean enough for family reading but that stories like those would make it not family friendly anymore.
I have kids who read the YWN news and I prefer it because the msn webpage often has inappropriate pictures (let alone information). Reading a secular story that has been “cleaned up” doesn’t bother me. I just have to make sure they have been “cleaned up” well, and this one had a glitch or two.
Oh, I must have missed a couple of the later posts.
Generally speaking, why would there be anything wrong with people giving out their own information? Many here use their real names. I thought the problem is when people elicit information from others or give other people’s info away.
I don’t get it. Why did the title/posts get altered? Did someone really think it was giving information away?
didn’t like where it was going
WIY – My husband and I each brought different “fried matza” mesorahs into the marriage. Mine we only have on Pesach, but my husband makes his all year. It is basically a huge omelet/scrambled egg with small pieces of matza mixed into it and cheese melted on top. I could probably add onions for you if you’d like.
ooo, you’re good.
someone else’s left overs. My kids had fried matza.
shticky guy – I don’t want inappropriate language with a disclaimer on a kosher website. I want only clean language. (of course that’s just my own opinion)
Editor – although I do not agree with the modern chosid, if you listen to that video clip of the neighbor he does sneak in a phrase that I was not comfortable with, and once a straight out swear word got through. I still want the stories, I would just hope for some fine tooth combed editing of them.
I agree with 42. Unfortunately someone misses a couple not-so-nice phrases thrown in here and there on some of the news clips. Overall though, I agree that I try to use YWN instead of, not in addition to, the secular sites.
May (N)ayin Yaavo Ezrie
(okay, it’s a stretch)
jbaldy – thank you for making immature leaps as to the meaning of my post. Do you respond that way to everything that you hear that might involve being accepting of other’s viewpoints? You were way off, but I appreciate your kind attitude.
Gamanit- isn’t it being nichshol to give out this information? With so many girls struggling with this nisayon, why make it easier?
My mom was so thin and beautiful in her younger days. When she got older (and heavy)(but still beautiful) people would say to her, “what happened to you?” to which she would reply, “I was just filling In the wrinkles as they came in”
**aghast**
you sure don’t mean that, I hope
WIY – only if she’s a kohen
nishtdayngesheft – “Hum – I thought that the “non black hatters” assert that they are no less holy. Who is being hypocritical? And who is prejudging someones intentions?”
right. That’s what I just said. The mud slinging goes both ways.
At a minimum, it is a very poor excuse, to the point that it has no legs to stand on.
what?
oooh, it’s your day. Use it well!
I’ve lived both lives and I strongly believe that the garbage is hurled equally from/to both sides. Nasty and intolerant and closed minded. We have posters who come here telling off the “black hatters” for their closed minded attitudes, while adding that they expected no less from them. And they don’t even hear their own words.
I personally think a major difference is that people view the “black hatters” as self proclaimed holier people so their infarctions are considered hypocrisy in addition to bad middos.
oomis – I saw that comment and was about to jump in to defend you but I see you beat me to it.
SaysMe – jinx!
nanny – a kosher phone has no texting. a regular phone has no texting . . . unless you change you r mind and ask them to add it. That’s the difference.
Vogue – I’m surprised you found girls at Ateres sneaking them in. I don’t think my daughter found it to be that way last year. (B”H)
DY -thanks, cute. I forgot to go dashless.
ICOT – I pressed the WALK button! Moshiach Ben Dovid showed up to save us all!
I also don’t see how pizza can be a snack. My kids wash on it but say that they are among the few.
And by the way, hi to Real Brisker. I clicked on you to see if this is your first time back and it says you aren’t here. How do you do that?
Okay, I think I got it down. When’s the exam?
You would have to read the thread about friends finding out your identity (don’t worry, it’s a quick read). I used your name to make a point because you seemed like such an even keeled person who wouldn’t be bothered by being mentioned.
talk about riot inciting – this was truly a riot!
I have never laughed so hard at a computer screen before! Thanks!
Oh No Sam2! I just noticed your subtitle! Will you ever forgive me?!
musser zoger – Oh my Gosh, that was even funnier than what popa said!
who says I didn’t?
DY – I think it was obvious that nobody is thinking of it as a third choice of headwear but rather a, “he wears a STRAW hat?” issue. Which, kind sir, is a “holier than thou” attitude.
***** I hope it is obvious that that was not to make a mockery of the pin test or the wisdom of our Sages, it was to make a mockery of where my own kochos were spent. *****
I’m sure there was a time when my brother could do the pin test with the TV guide. I could probably do it with some DR. Suess books. But I must say that a part of me is in awe of the knowledge our forefathers had, and another part of me mourns the loss.
🙂 <—- Picture of me, lying down
I guess there are a few posters of whom I would be curious to know their “scoop”, but, generally speaking,if I find out that Sam2 is Shmuely Wollenberger from LasVegas, I still won’t know who he is. Kind of like when a friend gets engaged and you ask, “to who?”, even though the name usually doesn’t mean a thing to you.
I think pictures might be fun to see though.
who were you before?
I’m only curious about someone else’s identity if it’s someone I already know IRL. I’m curious to see if they give/gave me a different impression online than IRL.
