Hey everyone, I noticed that teen started 5 threads and visited a whole lot more of them. And then I got jealous. I never have anything to start so I figured we could make a brainstorm thread… (and of course I get to start it!)
No, seriously. I know I show two sides of myself here in the cofeeroom. The sucker who listens to everyone’s mussar, and the light shmoozer. (Just by the way, neither of them are really me.) I keep asking myself why I come back. To get attacked? Or to waste time talking about nothing? …And I don’t have an answer because both of those are stupid reasons.
I really want this to be a somewhat serious thread. Don’t shmooze here. Any ideas for interesting topics of conversation?
To quote qwertyuiop: Thanks in advance.
why does every thread seem to come around to the topic of moish01?
its usually moish01 who brings himself up in conversation, so why does he complain about being attacked all the time?
why its not a good idea to scratch a mosquito bite.
well, im sorry you don’t like whats on my mind. mods, maybe we can change the title of this thread to “moish’s dictatorship – if i want ur opinion, i’ll give it to u”?
ames: easier to just have other ppl come up with ideas and then steal them 😛
miosh how about this for a topic
I have two ideas for threads Moish, and you are welcome to create them:
1) Why do you come to YWN? We all come for different reasons so this would be interesting
2) Tips on Checking for Bugs! I always feel like I am doing something wrong because I dont find anything.
ames: that sounds more effective
why why why does the cr always get so active right when i have to go??? its so hard…
someone yell at me i should not be here now!!!!
SJSinNYC: i like your suggestions!!!!!!!!!
i like sjsinnyc ‘s 1st suggestion best so far!
how about these topics:
1-why can’t some adults remember what it’s like to be a teenager?
2-is it true that there are a disproportionate amount of girls in shidduchim vs. guys? (have to have at least one shidduch oriented)
3-how can people overcome emotional attachments to gashmius
4-what are we/can we personally do for the yid/yidden that we know, that are not yet frum? (a personal favorite of mine)
I do have more but will start with this for now.
Kiruvwife, I like #4 because its a dilemma I face daily.
I’m going to start a bug checking one.
moish, why don’t you just decide by yourself? look in2 yourself, what are you interested in? maybe we’ll find out what makes moish tick??
Kiruv wife your first topic is really a moot point b/c there is no plausible reason they would put up with half the garbage that they do if they didnt remember:)
someone yell at me i should not be here now!!!!

does age rly matter in relationships? can u have friends different ages/in diff stages of life than u? does the older person always have to be the mentor?
aob- good one, does age matter in relationships.
start a thread, and find out.
moish01 – I have to say i’m not into junk, but kiruv junk is the best junk I deal with.
That being said, I think the new thread you started in SJS’s name was a good choice.
How about–will those who are technologically challenged be able to “make it” in the world without pursuing/purchasing items such as cell phones, computers, ipods, blackberries etc.?” or is it a must?
if ur talking to me, i was trying to give ideas since thats what this thread is for. maybe i will start it tho…as soon as i figure out how to post a new topic. it cant b too hard tho, so maybe soon
its now time for me 2 look back 2 at charlie brown’s post 🙁 maybe i’ll b back tho…
ICOT:
Any updates on our Dina D’malchusa Dina shaila?
It’s only been 8 months…
😉
Joseph-
Sorry, not yet.
I was at a bris within the past week or two where I was hoping to see a certain Rav, but he wasn’t there. Your (our) shailos haven’t been forgotten.
I happened to see your post, but don’t have time to keep up on all threads due to to being B”H quite busy in the real world.
an open book,
don’t look at my post too often or else we’ll have to add you to the come back to the CR thread.
charlie brown: no, i probably will need 2 look at it most nites, cuz at a certain point, i do need 2 get off! but no need 2 put out a search party, i am just, oddly enough, going 2 sleep! (some ppl actually do that at nite!) but i’ll usually b back the next day
“I know I show two sides of myself here in the cofeeroom. The sucker who listens to everyone’s mussar, and the light shmoozer.”
moish- please explain to me why you consider a person that listens to mussar to be a sucker? We’re all on this world to improve ourselves. Please explain- I really don’t understand.
Or is this just a side effect of a teen becoming independent and needing to feel like he’s the boss?
moish01: What do you mean?
that would definitely be interesting to read….but i don’t know what i could add to that…
moish: care to be a little more specific on that???
sounds like moish is referring to Snapple facts 😉
4-what are we/can we personally do for the yid/yidden that we know, that are not yet frum? (a personal favorite of mine)
Accept that person without judgment, for the person he or she is, without making him feel you are trying to “fix” him or preach to him. Eventually that person will probably be comfortable enough in your presence to slowly adopt some of the things he observes in your home.
moish01: so are you gonna start one?
moish01: oh i get what your saying. I tryied something like that and it didnt go through but you should try, you seem to have a lot more pull in this place then i do.
moish: i like that idea!!! let’s see what ya got buddy!!!
but yeah, i meant like random interesting facts that you know, that you think most people wouldn’t. i dunno – i always love reading or hearing new interesting things.
This is from my husband – did you know that you can fit 14 newly-born opossums on a teaspoon (or maybe it’s a tablespoon). Why you might WANT to, i will never know, but you COULD…
moish,
no picture of an opossum? Also, I think this belongs in the Feivel category.
Note to self: go to the come back to the CR thread and ask Feivel to come back.
oomis, I can think of a reason why you might want to know how many can fit on a spoon. Think of caviar.
