Based on what Riddle! says, the 'touch the stars' clue makes more sense seeing as how there is a star key on a phone's dial pad.

if i could get just one thing out of the way, i'd be able to count the dough

So if this is a phone's dial pad, would the answer for crumb 12 ^ be 2? If "counting the dough" does mean 13 then the only thing in the way would be 2. Does that make sense?

Then the one thing in the way could be 7?

"i face two obstacles on my way to Tisha HaYamim"

If Tisha HaYamim is 9 then the two obstacles could be 3 and 6 or 7 and 8???

only one thing lies between me & the man in the village with the weather balloon 4

i live next door to naegele's rule 8

i face two obstacles on my way to Tisha HaYamim could be either 2 or 4 ?
i'm so close to the -ply cord, but i can't even begin to sever it while this one thing is in my way 8 from 4 1 2, clockwise there´s 7 in the way (or 5 the other way round)

i could touch the stars, but one thing stands in my way 4 by stars if we understand *

you've already seen me before, but i still have the same neighbor ?

if i could get just one thing out of the way, i'd be able to count the dough 2 between 1 3 I liked this idea

What if it's not a telephone pad but a computer keyboard?...after all the clues mention spreadsheets and they also say they are literally right in front of our eyes.

But of course it´s our keyboard!
and that is "the distance we must count" until we reach the "end" the end key
we go this way (first row of our keyboards)
then this way (next row)
etc.. and then we run out of rows so we start up again

.... it´s too late now, so I´ll leave here, maybe I come up with the solution while dreaming Good luck

Naegele's rule is calculated from the last menstrual period.

So is the answer the comma? Or maybe the slash?

So if the clues are talking about our keyboards and the answers to the clues are numbers, then maybe the numbers correspond to the letters on the keyboard.

For example: 1 = Q A Z; 2 = W S X; 3 = E D C etc.

Does that make sense?

It might be the period on the numerical keypad on the keyboard. Then, the number 3 is right next to it.

puzzle solved!

ok, so i just solved the puzzle... here's how:

first off, i realized that it was obviously talking about the keyboard... but then i quickly realized that keys are not laid out vertically or horizontally... which is where the directions "/" and "\" come into play

only one thing lies between me & the man in the village with the weather balloon (6)
so i had to move in this direction / from the number 6 and thus got the letter "f"

i live next door to naegele's rule (9) / i

i face two obstacles on my way to Tisha HaYamim (9) / n

i'm so close to the -ply cord, but i can't even begin to sever it while this one thing is in my way (3) / a

i could touch the stars, but one thing stands in my way (*) \ l

you've already seen me before, but i still have the same neighbor (9) / i
*THIS ONE WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE SECOND CLUE "i live next door...", "neighbor")

if i could get just one thing out of the way, i'd be able to count the dough ($) / s

it took me a second to get the last clue, but it made so much sense once i figured it out

this led me to the URL: http://www.chencheyinstituteofresearch.com/finalis.html

now good luck figuring out what to do with that...

So does this mean that we have to figure out the numbers at the bottom of the finalis page too?

I would think that's our next task.
