comment Cutting Tefillin Retzuos
1. I think you understood this already, but my comment referred to the ink which does not have to be lishma. 2. If you have a pair of tefilin and you are painting them because you know they need to be black, this is lishma. A case of not lishma would be a goy painting them, like the MB brings there, or the person who is painting doesn't know these are straps for tefillin.

You need not spend the money/time getting "tefilin paint". Shoe polish already available in your house is fine.

comment Kaddish Without Minyan
By the way, at Shacharis you can even say the kaddish after uva letzion which is also linked to the tfillah

comment Bracha on Lightning without Thunder
Good point. I see now that I didn't write my question clearly. I was referring specifically to cases were it is "heat lightning".

comment When to make a bracha on lightning
Shkoyach! For those w/o access, they are medayek from the lashon of "al habarakim" and it doesn't say "haroeh barak" like it does by all the other berachos.

comment Are “Cholent Eggs” Fleishig?
You are correct that they are porous enough to transfer taste. Although it isn't as porous as their pots- see YD 86:5.

comment Tzar Balay Chaim for Fish
Your morbid description of the process seems to have a bal t'shaktzu element. (I didn't mean your description, I meant the actions of the fish eaters.) I don't think the NB would say Tzaar Baalei Chayim, though. Does this mean I won't see you at this year's crawfish boil?
