If you are just joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the previous Halachos on this and other topics.
1)Those who hear someone recite Birchas HaGomel should answer Amen, and then say " Mi SheGmalcha Kol Tov, Hu Yigmalcha Kol Tov Selah- May He who bestowed goodness upon you continue to bestow every goodness upon you forever" (Shulchan Aruch 219:4 and 5. See also Elya Rabbah Siman 141:6 and Aruch HaShulchan 219:5.)
For some reason the prevalent Minhag when hearing this Bracha is to skip the "Amen" and immediately respond with "Mi SheGmalcha..." (See Shu"t Hisorerus Teshuva Siman 99 where he tries to find an acceptable defense (Limud Zechus) for this minhag, but says that L'Chatchilah it should definitely be answered, no different than any other Bracha.)
2) Some have the custom, after reciting this Bracha, to recite the chapter of "Mizmor L'Sodah" (Tehillim Perek 100) as this chapter was recited in the Bais HaMikdash whenever someone brought a Korban Todah, the sacrifice of thanks brought after being delivered from danger. (See Chayei Adam Klal 65:4 quoting the Shl"ah HaKadosh. See also Shu"t Teshuvos V'Hanhagos Vol. 1 Siman 195)
Some people have the custom to make a Seudas Hoda'ah (a feast of thanks) after being obligated to recite the Bracha of Hoda'ah. (See Shu"t Mishneh Halachos, Tinyana, Siman 175)

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER:
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.

Reader's Question:
[Regarding Q&A # 394 here, where you wrote that after using the restroom when the hands are washed, no utensil is required], the Mishna Berura does bring down an opinion that washing 6 times is necessary after using the restroom and says the Magen Avraham seems to contradict himself.
Rav ovadia Yosef shlita holds that the minhag has become to wash 6 times when leaving the restroom and there are many others (ashkenazi and sefardi) who also feel this is proper, necessary to get rid of the Ruach Ra.
