I was once at a Pesach seder and the person sitting next to me whipped out a credit card and tried to floss her teeth with it. When she realized it was too thick, she switched it for a $5 bill and used that instead. |

Now there's an interesting halachic question: is paper currency mukzeh if you regard it primarily as a dental hygiene device?

You're missing the point. This was a SEDER. Is money kasher l"pesach?

I think not, SixOfWands.
That's the reason when I'm setting the table for the Seder we never have any left in the house.
It's just like breadcrumbs. Search every nook and cranny, you won't find a dime.

Bnei Berak 10: Quote: | Unless you are a very young child or have a medical condition. Adults are definitely expected to have some bladder control and anticipate if/when they will need a bathroom. To mix a meal time with going to b/room to tend to your bodily functions is not good manners. I know of simple families where children definitely have been reprimanded for this by parents. |
I know this post is old, but I just came across the above statement. I have never been more mind boggled in my life. One does not have to have a "medical condition" to have a need to use the bathroom during the meal. I don't know of a Shabbos meal where I have not used the bathroom both in my own house or as a guest, and I never felt self-conscious about it. This action of mine was never followed up by gasps or shrieks of horror. I also use the bathroom in the supermarket! Guess I better check myself into a clinic. There must be something terribly wrong with me. And how about shul? I guess the bathrooms there were put in just for the very young or very old. After all, one should know better and go before davening starts.

Well on shabbos you are dining with the queen! Shabbos itself
But no I don't know anything about napkin etiquette. I try to eat nicely and not get the tablecloth dirty and that's it.

I saw this post come up and thought it was yet another thread about proper napkin usage. I’m so relieved that it’s the same one.
