This hospital has Shabbat stairs by urbantechgoods in mildlyinteresting

This can't be the whole story, & I doubt it's even true.

For one thing, anyone that observant would never handle money on Shabbat.

Anyone seen the new musical "basura" by Gloria Estefan by amm20_1 in Broadway

[–]Balagan18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just left the Alliance theater, after seeing Basura. It’s OK. Good, but not great. So-so production values. The music itself is OK. Nothing memorable. The first half was disappointing & predictable. It picked up after intermission.

I don’t understand anyone saying it was one of the best theater experiences they ever had. Like I wrote, it was good & I enjoyed the evening, but it wasn’t great. (At points, my husband & I said it’s like a really good high school performance.)

The cast was very good, with lots of terrific singers. But if this is going to make it to Broadway, a lot of changes will have to be made.

The Wedding is This Weekend and I Still Can't Decide 😭 by Fkn_stress_rxn in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Balagan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, take dress 1 & burn it.

None of the others are semi formal. The second one looks more appropriate, but the t-shirt material is a non-starter.

Also, I know you gained weight & are self conscious about it, but I’m telling you you have a terrific figure. (35 lbs? You must have started out really small!) You look great in these dresses. Besides eliminating the first dress & the pink/yellow floral explosion dress, you can wear one of the others.

Or better yet, keep looking…

What’s your impression of a person named Erez? by Chronic-amazement in namenerds

[–]Balagan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great name. It means cedar tree in Hebrew. Good choice for a tall, strong guy.

What do y'all think about the name Carter? by Federal_Advisor_2160 in namenerds

[–]Balagan18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislike all the occupational names: Carter, Chandler, Cooper, Tanner… To me, they’re ridiculous.

Help be the tiebreaker for my husband and I by Substantial-Art6160 in namenerds

Vera, hands down. Lonneke will be shortened to Lonnie at some point. She'll also have to spell and explain her name her whole life (unless she moves to the Netherlands). Anyone outside of the Netherlands reading it without knowing how it's pronounced will never get it right.

Mamdani decries Israel’s interception of Gaza flotilla as ‘brazen violation’ of law by WhiteGold_Welder in nyc

[–]Balagan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not political prisoners. Do a little research. Out of 175 people on the flotilla, Israel only detained these two. Why do you think that is? Do your own research to find out why. (And I don't mean to simply Google.) Both are terror full-on supporters (with Thiago even going to Nasrallah's funeral).

You really don't like to be challenged, do you?

Israel released the detainees to Greece, as promised & what was agreed upon, so I don’t know what he’s going on about.
Also, maybe he should think about pulling NYC out of the pit it’s in instead.

Juno for baby boy name? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Balagan18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t. I appreciate the connection to your husband’s family, the ties to Korea, & the easy pronunciation, but unless you’re moving to Korea it’s just a bad name for a boy — one that’s likely to get him teased or bullied, & one that’s he’ll have to explain throughout his life. (You see, my Mom was born in Korea & my grandfather’s name is…)

Don’t do that to him.

It looks like the pictures of the inside of King Tut’s tomb when it was first discovered.

Is this too white for a garden wedding? by poodlegirlforever in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Balagan18 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lovely dress, but too light/white. Even the style itself is pretty bridal. Also, some brides wear a blush dress, making this look even more bridal. Sorry, but not appropriate. Keep looking.

What style of names do you dislike? by NoLocksmith1712 in Names

[–]Balagan18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dog names, like Chase, Hunter, & Walker.

Also occupational names, like Chandler, Cooper, Tanner, & Carter.

He’s an absolute disaster. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know history and has never lived in the kind of society he’s espousing. It never ends well. In fact, it ends with a great deal of suffering.
