  • Thanks! Will do. Sort of lost in the proper decorum of a SE site. But in any case, how about the first two questions?

  • I've edited the question so that it doesn't look like a request for personal halachic advice. It seems clear that there are two questions here and that it might make sense to split them into two separate posts.
