1) Why should we give you advice when we know you’re going to ignore it?
2) Follow your doctor’s directions anyhow, and I know you don’t want to hear it, but
3) Here’s a classic example of where improper spelling/grammar CAN hurt you: “stomach pains especially right under my ribcage oneft side” – did you mean “on left side” (I’m guessing)? If it’s on your right side, in between your belly button and right hip bone, it could be your appendix getting ready to explode. But I’m not a doctor and I haven’t examined you, so don’t take this as medical advice.
4) Health probably isn’t going to give you medical advice either, because if you follow his advice without having examined you, and he’s wrong, then you could sue him. Just drink some water (unless your doctor told you not to, in which case, don’t) and go to your doctor in the morning.
Does that mean that Birchas Hachama (every 27 years) is off?

IIRC, the Swedish Chef has a good recipe for chocolate moose.
If a Vulcan is half human, wouldn’t a male Vulcan be only half male?
If seventeen other people were thinking the same way, there wouldn’t be any handicap spots available either.
I see a precedent in that we don’t sit in someone else’s seat, whether l’havdil showing kavod to rabbis, parents or just honoring someone’s makom in shul.
Does a lack of planning on your part (in getting where you need to be in order to daven on time) permit you to violate dina d’malchusa dina?
I guess if you have $250 to burn if you get a ticket, that’s your choice, but that’s a lot of money that would be better put toward tsedakah.
Finally, how would you feel if you had a valid health issue, NEEDED to use a handicapped spot, but they were all taken by people who “just needed to run in for five minutes” and then got distracted and ended up shmoozing, keeping you from getting the medication you NEED for Shabbos?
IMHO it’s selfish to excuse this behavior because ‘there are too many spots’. Plan ahead.

Hey mods! How about that cocoa room for the 14 year olds?
Woohoo. Me +1 🙂
Alphabet soup and whipped cream in a can to draw letters with.

What is a cute little fluffy dog or an ugly mongrel?
Superme, the CR is all about unsolicited responses, so let me just say: 1) if you create a new screen name, but keep spelling the way you do now, you’ll be outed in two posts, and 2) if you want some insane answers also, I’m sure we could oblige.
I can’t believe I missed this.
All this time, Popa has meant to vote “Yes”. Click on his name to read why.
Does it include voting other CR members ‘off the island’ because you disagree with them?
“Or to get medication for it.”
In another post, someone suggested that you weren’t ‘taking your meds’. You have to admit that your propensity to occasionally be ‘over the top’ can provoke others to respond that way, but your responses to Haifagirl suggest that you are taking out on her your anger over other insults.
How is appreciating/even ‘demanding’ bad grammar worse than ‘voting someone off the island’?
And she has a point, seriously – an employer reviewing a resume/coverletter/speaking to someone with bad grammar is not likely to hire that person. Any career advisor would advise a person to work on that.
I’ve seen worse insults hurled around the CR without any proposed ‘voting off the island’…
Please tell me that was on porpoise.
Haifagirl: I don’t think it will succeed, only/mostly because of how much more work it will be for the mods. Of course, you could offer your services…
That is one reason why it wouldn’t work. More importantly, though, we are not trying to run a forum for English graduate students. We are open to everyone, whether they speak perfect English or not.
I can’t/shouldn’t speak for Haifagirl, but I don’t think anyone expects perfection. The ‘texting’ English bothers me the most. IMHO, if someone wants their posts to be read, they should make them readable.
The current standard is “readable to the mods.” Close enough? 🙂
I think that’s quite fair. I am curious to know if 007 concurs. 🙂
Yes.
🙂
How did I miss this? I must have been “on a break”…
Allow me to place myself unequivocably on Haifagirl’s team/island.
I remember reading that he wrote “BS”D” on top of his letters to his brother Diego, but did not on letters to others. Why else would he do that unless he were a Jew?
And there’s plenty of shtick among Yidden that goes on today that we won’t want to claim tomorrow or in 500 years.
Someone please explain the appeal of this machine to me….
A tragic but obviously fictional story. A man with that amount of emunah would never have visited the doctor in the first place, much less allowed the doctor to amputate his leg. If H” wanted his leg to be amputated, it would have fallen off rather than having to have surgery at the hands of men. With sepsis setting in from the ulcer, the resulting blood infection would have killed him (c”vs). End of story.
Also, if he had made it out of the hospital, with his level of emunah he never would have accepted government disability payments, never would have accepted rides in an ambulette (Hatzolah maybe), and certainly never would have set foot in an government-sponsored social center (with the goyim?? Gasp!). However, since he never took medication, his children’s shidduchim should be fine, since he was housebound and therefore the family was able to hide his illness.
Now switch doctor with psychiatrist, diabetes meds with anti-depressants, and losing a leg with losing the ability to function/control one’s impulses. Also a tragic story that could have been prevented by recognizing that doctors/psychiatrists are Hashem’s shluchim.

Didn’t the parents take her to him as they were instructed? Wouldn’t it have come out by now if she hadn’t really been in his office for 3 hours at a time?
Are you sure there isn’t something else you are good at? Maybe it doesn’t have to do with the play.
I have to be honest, I think it’s great that your school does this… (FWIW, 30K does sound excessive)

There are a lot of people unemployed on the east coast too. Good luck…
“You cannot know, so your statement is unreliable.”
So, it was a question, and I’m not sure how a question can be unreliable, unless you meant something else.
Can anyone explain the halachic justification (preferably with sources, not just a dismissive “he’s innocent because a Yid would never”) for a Yid locking a girl in the same room for three hours at a time?
At least they’re not white.
OK, let me rephrase for you.

The dogs didn’t bark as we were leaving Mitzraim. We owe them some gratitude, nu?
I vote for a mechitza in the coffee room, for *women*.

The only consolation is, that happens right before it’s getting flushed (and you better believe I make sure it goes down with the tissue).
The first time I ever saw stink bugs was when we were visiting friends in another city, and when I discovered that I’d brought one home in a suitcase I was creeped out for days.
(I’m too old to be a girl – can I still participate in this thread??)
Reb D: it was red and yellow and green and brown

“I don’t want to spend several hours a week working because then I won’t be able to enjoy my year.”
Just a word of advice: Even if you’re thinking that, don’t say it when you’re asking others who work for their money to give it to you.
Even better, rephrase it to “I am willing to work several hours a week for the privilege of spending another year in E”Y.” People will be more willing to help you when they see you’re willing to work for it also.

+2 If she doesn’t need fertility treatments, how grateful to Hashem will you all be?
+3 Even if she does, not only have fertility treatments clearly been successful in her family, but they have advanced tremendously since she was born. Baruch Hashem!
+4 Her gratitude to Hashem for giving her children will undoubtedly translate into her being a wonderful mother to your grandchildren.
Should you go into the shidduch? I don’t know. Will you son be the supportive, caring husband to her that she deserves?
I think that even the regulars have more patience for trolls than they’re admitting. I swing by every so often and see that not much has changed. To be honest, I felt like I’d been had when it occurred to me that all this ‘troll activity’ keeps people coming back to the CR, and maybe that’s why the mods put up with a lot more than perhaps they should.
It will be interesting to see if this gets edited, or should I say EDITED…!
RebD: The ingredient mix may have a reliable hechsher, but once you bake/fry/toast in a treif oven, the transfer of heat renders them nonkosher. No way of getting around that. If a store doesn’t have reliable Orthodox supervision, I’m not eating its products.
Gefen – same with me – I have things in good condition – the only thing “wrong” is that my kids outgrew them. If someone doesn’t want to take something that’s not new, that’s their choice, but when they’ve lost everything, shouldn’t they be the ones to decide?
A farm? Nah, Hashem would have sent a tornado for that.
They were on duty, and can only divulge details on a need-to-knoe basis. Clearly you didn’t need to know. You’re lucky you didn’t get arrested for obstruction of justice. But you weren’t, so clearly they are not racist. LOL
