I know how you might be feeling right now, I am also having things checked out, so I will keep you in mind for a refuah shelaima. If it is permitted to post your Hebrew name here, I will add it when I say Tehillim. B”EH you should already be well on your way to a complete refuah.
August 27, 2009 8:18 pm at 8:18 pm #720959AnonymousInactiveSorry, no names allowed, but I’m sure Hashem knows who you’re davening for if you use a screename instead of a real name.
Oomis and esther H, may you hear besoros tovos about your health.
August 28, 2009 2:24 am at 2:24 am #720960YW Moderator-72ParticipantTHIS will link you to the tehillim thread. in that thread there is an attached google doc that can be accessed and people can sign up to say a kapital or more daily. on the next page, names can be inserted without identifying who posted it.
August 28, 2009 6:09 pm at 6:09 pm #720961Be HappyParticipantWith the help of Hashem and everyones tefillas I should hear good news. After a week of health complications I have to go next Friday for Decisions. Thank You all for asking.
Lets keep this thread to giving compliments. I am very interested why it is so difficult for people to give each other compliments. I am also interested to hear of those who went out of their way to give someone a compliment. e.g If your child has learnt something nice in school or cheder did you compliment the teacher or Rebbe? Have you told a neighbour how her help was just so great etc.

May you have a good, healthy year, full of nachas and simcha.
September 29, 2009 11:10 pm at 11:10 pm #720975sunflowerMemberesther- refua shleima may you be soche to be alwaya bsimcha and always able to be msamaioch others,.i wish u a speedy recovery. may you and all of kllal yisrael only have simchas!
also about this compliment thing so here is my story:
there is this girl that i am in school with and it happens to be that we daven in the same room. i was never really friends with her and still not at all but she changed my way of davening. last yeat she sat right near me and the way she davened was unbeleivable. this seating arrangement was “random”. and this year they put us according to our hebrew names in order. and i am right next to her aagain! im telling you that the exxtent of her impact on me holds not only in school but at shul and home too. whenever i daven i feel as if she is right next to me and my davening is so diff! i bentch this girl she should only have bracha in her life. but- I CANT COME TO TELL THIS TO HER FACE tell me if im nuts but if u barely ever speak to her and not friends how should i do it?
second: i was in a store in flatbush and i saw a more modern looking girl and she was looking to buuy. it doesnt matter what the style was but it wasnt too beffiting. and in front of her friends she said NO i wont buy it! i was so impressed i wanted to stick a note in her urse, but who would actually do it? i just coulnt go adn do it! may we only have to give compliments and brachos!
September 30, 2009 9:59 am at 9:59 am #720976Be HappyParticipantSunflower – You are missing a golden opportunity. Why not tell the girl who davens so beautifully what an impression she has on you.
Think of the worst case scenario that might happen if you tell her. The likelihood is she will smile and thank you and you will have made someone feel good. You will also be working on the middah of appreciation something so many people feel so difficult to do.
September 30, 2009 9:20 pm at 9:20 pm #720977sunflowerMemberesther, i dont think i will be able to do it. its just not the type. i donot know if you understand it, but it would be really uncomfomtable to me and her. we just dont click.
October 14, 2009 4:47 pm at 4:47 pm #720978Be HappyParticipantOh come on sunflower. You will break the ice and achieve something special!
B”H i had my first chemo yesterday. Thank you all so much for your chizuk and brochos. It all helps.
October 14, 2009 4:52 pm at 4:52 pm #720979mepalMemberHow are you feeling, esther?
October 14, 2009 5:08 pm at 5:08 pm #720980bein_hasdorimParticipantEsther: emush, We all hope you are feeling well.
May your strong spirit, and upbeat attitude guide you B”H,
through these hard times, and may you emerge victoriously!
May Simcha & Mazel always chase you, while finding you always
in the best of healthy & happiness.
October 14, 2009 5:10 pm at 5:10 pm #720981Be HappyParticipantB”H all things considered I am doing well, B”H. Hashem should help me go through it with a complete refuo bkorov. I hope I am going through it for all klal Yisroel and no one else need suffer.
October 14, 2009 5:16 pm at 5:16 pm #720982mepalMemberAmein. Refuah sh’laimah b’karov! Be strong…
October 14, 2009 5:29 pm at 5:29 pm #720983A600KiloBearParticipantBS”D
Refuah shelema!!
October 14, 2009 6:26 pm at 6:26 pm #720984I can only tryMemberestherh-
Refuah shelaima bekorov.
I read that hypnotism can help with some of chemo’s side effects (I’m not a medical professional, this is something I read).
Googling “hypnotism chemo” brings up many links about this topic.
October 15, 2009 2:02 am at 2:02 am #720985JaxMemberRefuah Shilamah!
October 15, 2009 2:22 am at 2:22 am #720986mybatMemberEstherh Hashem should send you a complete refuah shelema!!
October 15, 2009 11:37 pm at 11:37 pm #720987sunflowerMemberesther, i wish a refuah shilaima bikarov and u should goet thru this difficult time. in response to ure comment , i wish i can say ok fine i will do it, its just not gonna work at all. its gonna be weird awkward for both of us. its bad enough that we sit right next to each other and i barely can talk to her! thanks anyway!
October 18, 2009 4:49 am at 4:49 am #720988kapustaParticipantsunflower, maybe you can put a note in her looseleaf or bag or something when shes not there. That way you do it awkward-free and get the message across. I’m sure she would appreciate hearing it.
October 19, 2009 2:31 am at 2:31 am #720989sunflowerMemberhey kapusta that is a great idea. but how do i like cange my handwriting and what if i want to sign my name? if i do it will be really weird! thanks for ure idea!
October 19, 2009 2:38 am at 2:38 am #720990kapustaParticipantAs long as shes not there when she gets it/sees it, and no one ever mentions it, I can’t imagine why it would be awkward but if you still feel uncomfortable about it then try typing it and if you don’t want to sign your name then just sign with your initials or do something generic like, “a classmate” or something like that.
Hope I helped!
October 19, 2009 3:31 am at 3:31 am #720991ambushParticipantsunflower- i totally understand your dilemma.
i just wanted to say two things-
…1. when I was in high school I remember someone who was about 2-3 years older than me, and the way the person Davened was so inspiring! such kavanah, such an obvious connection, such pureness!
But because of the awkwardness of the situation (the person was older than me ect.), I never did it.
I wish I can now remember who that was so that I can tell them how much they impacted my davening- until today!
…2. When a friend of mine was in sleep away camp, in the older teen division, it was a summer with a lot of conflict in Eretz Yisroel. My friend decided to try to say one Tefillah with real Kavanah, maybe even shed a tear.
Later, that night by an activity, a counselor tapped my friend on the shoulder and said- “You really inspired my davening today. I couldn’t help but noticed the way YOU davened. Thank You.”
The friend was so moved, and it’s impact was long reaching…
GRAB THE MOMENT!
It might be a little hard or slightly awkward but do it!
type a note!
write with your other hand… whatever!
But know, that one single compliment, can shake the heavens and move the earth, and not only will she have impacted your kavanah, you will have impacted hers
October 19, 2009 9:44 pm at 9:44 pm #720992sunflowerMemberambush wow! u are so right but i still cant bring myself to do it. i want it to be only for her and no one else and its so weird because i sit right next to her and i can barely speak to her and if i can we talk for like a second about the most wierdest things that pertain to only then. i dont know……
October 20, 2009 11:33 am at 11:33 am #720993Be HappyParticipantSunflower: If you were told that this is the last day of your life would you not grab the moment?
I think we think too much rather than do what we know is correct.
October 20, 2009 10:00 pm at 10:00 pm #720994sunflowerMembereshter, u are totally correct and i know that i am wrong but there is a wall blocking me every time i would like to tell her. i know u will say to smash that wall now , but its very hard!
December 23, 2010 6:04 pm at 6:04 pm #720995eclipseMemberWow.I just dug up a gold mine!
Whenever I search through the CR’s virtual attic,I always find interesting “artifacts”!
This thread is so old,it’s a THREADA-SAURUS.
Anyway,it’s worth reading thru these posts,very heartwarming.
December 23, 2010 6:30 pm at 6:30 pm #720996ronrsrMemberThank you, dear eclipse, what a wonderful job you do of digging up old interesting threads.
As the sage Al Capone once noted: “You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a gun alone.”
December 23, 2010 7:10 pm at 7:10 pm #720997wanderingchanaParticipantEclipse – Threadasaurus??
Oh no – this thread didn’t evolve, it was CREATED!!!
(Purim can’t be far away)
December 23, 2010 7:16 pm at 7:16 pm #720998wanderingchanaParticipantDoes anyone know how Be Happy is?
December 23, 2010 7:46 pm at 7:46 pm #720999blinkyParticipantyes, she still needs your tefillos, please have her in mind when you daven.
December 24, 2010 1:08 am at 1:08 am #721000Be HappyParticipantThanks everyone for your concern. It is heartwarming to feel that strangers care so much (That’s a compliment) I had major surgery 6 weeks ago. The next 6 months are critical….
What shall I tell you? It has made me prioritise my wants and needs in life and made me more careful how I talk to people. B”H i keep positive most of the time.
December 24, 2010 3:04 am at 3:04 am #721001frumladygitMemberResults from a compliment depend on where they come from in a person and to where they go in the receiver.
I personally cannot stand compliments from this high ego driven woman in our community who is an attention seeking social butterfly who feels she is on top of the world and better than everyone else.
When she
pats me on the back
with her words of flattery I actually feel invaded or robbed by her approval andpunching my ticket
No one needs that.On the other hand if a sincere old heimishe woman stops me in the bank and just says a soft sincere word such as
your looking very good these days
, it actually makes me feel nice.December 24, 2010 6:19 am at 6:19 am #721002oomisParticipantContinued refuos, be Happy.
