Man, that sucked!

Let us never close the forum again.

The fasting suuuuuucked for me, I have a raging caffiene addiction, and without my morning fix I got a massive withdrawl headache.

You know what Chaim would say: Your headache is your body's way of warning you not to drink coffee anymore. Coffee really is unhealthy.

It's good in moderation (like most things) . I saw some research where 1 or 2 coffees per day reduced heart disease. Aspirin is good in low doses, too but 10 per day as opposed to 1 is dangerous.

You're right.  I should be banned.

I didn't come to that conclusion.  It's just not a good example to set as a moderator.

Jimmy, what do you think?  I think that Zev is overreacting.

Coffee is like a drug. It's a stimulant. Anything that artifically stimulates you is unhealthy, in my opinion. And I believe that most medical studies show that coffee in any quantity is not good for you. There are always medical studies showing the opposite conclusion for any food or drink. You have medical studies showing that saturated fat and cholesterol do not affect health, but the vast majority of medical studies show that they do very much affect health. So people just have to draw logical conclusions.

What about tea?

All that I'm saying is that it was unpleasant not having the forum.

Zeev, Chaim does allow moderators to disagree with his decisions. Scriabin has a right to his opinion.

Tea is full of anti-oxidants and very good in the oppinion of many. Stay away from decaf' tea, though. They use bleach to decaffinate it!

I know that Scriabin can disagree with his decision and that he has a right to his opinion.  I still think that it's not a good example to set.  I'm not trying to make a big deal out of this, I was simply stating my opinion.   

I think you overreacted to my post, Scriabin.

a little bit of coffee is ok...tea is much healthier.

[Dr. Dan]

fasting wasn't that bad this year...i might suggest some prevacid or nexium right after dinner...your food will digest slower.

and a good night's and day's (the next day) rest is good too to help with any hunger pangs.

Although I can understand the decision to close the forum...I think many of us may have felt the same way as you Scriabin.  You were just expressing yourself.  It always takes time to adjust to change.

[mosquewatch]

I missed the JTF Forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who are you, bullcat jr?  Any relation to bullcat sr?

So did I.

I hope our posters don't drift off to other forums over time due to looking elsewhere during that 24+ hours every week.

I have a feeling that this won't happen.  Getting a nice break once a week can help one appreciate JTF even more.  You know what they say, "absence makes the heart grow fonder."  I mean just look at this thread, just minutes after JTF was back up people came and immediately made posts about how much they missed JTF.

[judeanoncapta]

Why don't we leave a portion of the forum open and allow all certified non-jewish members to post there?

Yes.  I accidently posted under BullCat jr.'s screenname just now.    So sorry.
BullCat Jr. loves checking in on JTF with me.

I was getting JTF Forum withdrawl symptoms.
