Why do some people (if not most) write “tallis” on their Tallis bag, and “tefillin” on their tefillin bag? What purpose does it serve? Does anybody not know which bag is which? If so, we have bigger issues at hand. 
There is no reason for this meshugas. It should be ended.

I bet yours says "Tzitzis" on it.

I’d like to take this opportunity to shower my annoyance and disapproval upon anybody who mispronounces (and mispells) cholent. Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves. 
It’s (quite clearly) spelled with an “o”, NOT a “u” (*shudders*), and the “ch” sound had the same pronunciation as “uuhh”. (And not as the lower sound, which kinda sounds like a grunt)

Rabboisi, this is legit. I’ve seen nearly everybody do this, with mamash no need. 

When you’re called up to do hagbah on a weekday, you can ABSOLUTELY do it without undoing your hand straps. Trust me. I’ve drove it on those old, REALLY heavy ספרי תורה without any issues. ק״ו בן בנו של ק״ו by those newer, much lighter ones. And especially if the ציבור is waiting on you to neatly wrap it around your palm (which would negate the entire thing, no?).
And don’t even get me started on the גלילה dude who unwraps the straps. (*shakes head sternly*)

(*shakes head sternly back*)I am just going to immortalize this sorry tzitzit dude...somthing that makes me grouchy is this websites submit button.U got to hit once then twice and wait few seconds to register at least thats how it is on the app if you hit more times after you risk posting the same post multiple times like this. Very annoying and then you have to go and delete it right. But if someone for example responds or quotes you that option goes out the window and just think about all the emails you have sent out to people's inboxes trying to delete or re-edit posts SMH

I am doing just wonderful...

On Tuesday night my grandmother died. Had an interview Wednesday evening, get up at 4 am for a 6am flight out Thursday morning (if you can call it that) with a stop over to make the levaya, sat on the ground for over an hour in Dulles (yes, there's direct flights from Burma to Dulles. just look.) because of a full ground stop in LGA, (btw, I HATE LGA!! FOREVER!!) (even the new terminal. just because. והמבין יבין) , had to run back to catch an 8 pm flight so i couldn't talk to my father because of all the random people there, got back at around 10:30 pm...and my AC was broken! 



It still is. It is hot like ___ in my house. 


Thanks for asking because I know y'all don't care anyway...

I finally have something to gripe about., 

Im walking down my street at work, keeping my eyes to the ground, when something catches my eyes! something beige and blurry! NUDITY!
My heart starts racing like a bull, of course i bend down because im so excited i cant think, and its a porn magazine! Who the HECK still makes them? who reads them? its been years and years since i even saw something like that................... Now its stuck in my head that there is a dirty magazine laying there on the ground. so i struggle for a few days not to walk on that side of the street..... 

Yesterday, I walked on the other side and BOOM! A bunch other pages lay there as well. WTF??? i was with my wife BH so i couldnt bend down.
Just now, i had to walk down the street, so i decided to walk on the other side which has been cleaned already from that first magazine so as not to be triggered by this whole bunch on this side, and of course there is a new one on that side! 

Does the YH have nothing else to do but to come down and spread porn on the freaking side walk? 
So now i inadvertently saw a few things which led me to look a bit more, now im pissed at myself and the YH.

As if someone cares

Being that this is the grumpy thread where no sympathy should be offered whatsoever. I will say that you should continue to be mad at yourself for trying to avoid the YH multiple times yet he still succeeded in getting you into his trap. You must’ve not tried hard enough to avoid those magazines.

You can win the fight, but I'll have to live with the loser.

Any excuse you use for yourself, you must be willing to use for your wife.

Not Always can I understand others, but I can always respect their wishes.

You're human, it's okay.

One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.

Heeling,
You are right! I didnt. I couldve taken another street to my car even though i parked on my block. 
I could've taken my glasses off. 

I am mad.. 

Thanks for not caring.

Delete one stupid account in rage and depression and they make you start all over again. What a pain in the neck. The sign on wouldn't take any of my fake email addresses, I can't edit my old posts, and there's no 90 day chart till you watch F2F.

On the bright side, I figured out what's going on with all the weird username (sparklingdonkey83 etc). That's the default suggestion generated so unless you choose a name you get stuck as a fantasticgirrafe99. Was very tempting to be hopelessworm666 but I resisted that urge (only urge I've resisted this week lol).
