I e-mailed the following question to the OU at kosherq@ou.org:

"I was wondering if R' Moshe Feinstein ZT'L's heter for Cholov Stam in the USA applies nowadays in Western Europe as well."

and I received the following answer:

"Thank you for contacting the OU.

One can rely on the heter of chalav stam in developed countries that have laws and enforcement.

However, one should really only buy milk that has hashgacha or is known to the local Jewish communities as being acceptable because of other possible issues at the factories.

Please do not hesitate to contact us again should you have any further questions.

Sincerely,

The Web(be) Rebbe
Orthodox Union Kashruth Division
Visit us online at: www.oukosher.org "
basically, a non-answer

Is there any halacha shieyla of having sticky fly traps hanging which will cause the Flies to suffer before they die (tzar bar lichaim)?

I know this is a mekor to burn your Wicks from your Menorah, but does it mention when it's the best time to burn it meaning like your lulav when you burn it pesach time?

Is someone allowed to use crutches on Shabbos to walk in a place that has no eiruv?

Scenario one: The person can't walk at all without crutches (i.e. broken foot) and has to use crutches by hopping around on one foot (or two) and putting full weight on the crutches.

Scenario two: The person can b'dieved walk without crutches but uses it as a cane to keep some weight off of a foot.

How about wearing a brace for a leg (from ankle to thigh)?

Scenario: Someone has a leg that got injured  and couldn't use their foot for a while (post-op torn meniscus) therefore causing muscle atrophy. Without the brace it's very likely that the knee can buckle underneath and cause pain/injury.

Trying to be descriptive as possible :)

I unknowingly lied to Target and told them that I had not got an order. I asked them to check the delivery details. They were unable to confirm that it was delivered, and told me that it must have gotten lost in transit and they will refund me. Now I see that in reality the package had been delivered. (It was with USPS, so no tracking details.)

Now what?

Should I buy a GC and cut it up?

IIRC, you should do it ASAP, so that you dont mistakenly use it for something else.

You should really ALOR. If the person cannot get around without crutches (he uses it inside the house as well) then it is considered part of his foot and he can go outside with them. That's my 2 cents but you need more than 2 cents for these questions

Definitely don't do that.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Even if you owe them money and want to give it back, thats a bad way to do it. Until you use the card, they count it as a liability so not using it doesn't add it to their bottom line, all they get is an interest free loan.

If you want to pay them back rather than buying a GC and cut it, call them say that it was delivered twice, what you should do, They'll most probably tell you to keep it.

And if it was just 1 order delivered and refund was issued they can still charge your credit card again.

What's the halacha for downloading Microsoft Word and the rest of the microsoft programs is there any heter to download them or do you have to pay for the subscription?
 Is it comparable to the music shayalia?
