My nephew, visiting from EY, was looking through the shaimos in my house. I told him he could take everything, so he said he'd gladly take it along with him back to EY, where they don't pay for shaimos. It then hit me that I can make good use of two free pcs of luggage next time I go to EY in J.
They have it for free there. (Big blue canisters.)
They very much encourage giving a donation based on what you put in. There is a sign in hebrew...
I'm not who you think I am.

It starts that early?

I don't think I've gone before 3-4 in many years (besides bringing my kids in the beginning of the night)

I stand corrected. I confirmed last night with Y. Cohen, he starts at 3am.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Hello new member here. Sorta a Random question. How long does it usually take for a mod to approve your replies?

I posted yesterday and my post is still not showing up. Im hoping since this is in the Shmooze it will allow it to auto post.

The million dollar question, How do I know which night is Avrum Fried singing?
My guess is none.

Seems like he's in Eretz Yisroel (as is his nephew @Dan 😉)

To put the heat on or to not put the heat on, that is the question

Every year it's a struggle.... decisions decisions...
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

What if thermostat doesn't have an "auto" mode and needs to be manually switched between heating and cooling?

Since my heat and AC are separate systems, that's wishful thinking.

If you buy a gc, it just goes toward the total price of your purchase.  It doesn't change the taxes on the purchase.
If there was a 'gift of prime' gift card, then you would pay applicable taxes upon purchase (maybe in a no sales tax state) and then no taxes when you apply it to your account to get prime (maybe in a sales tax state).

the difference may be that if using gc i can claim billing address to be in delaware where there is no tax, but if billing to my cc i cant put in delaware billing address, that was my question...
