just saying hi and good night because i’m BOMBED and need sleep and not in the mood to be all cheered up.

goonight <<

I take that as a collective CR compliment 🙂

thanx, areivim;)

anonymisss: miracles do happen.

anonymisss: How did you guess??? (Actually I wasnt but im not gonna say that lol) (I just did)

Well, well;)

~a~

moish, you still need a mood boost? I’m here for the next 3 minutes or so… feel better if you still need it. 🙂

anonymisss, did you by any chance call?

*kapusta*

AOB, sure, I’m heading out really soon though. Whats up?

*kapusta*

kapusta: mostly it’s that i’m sorta sick, but i can’t take off school 🙁

AOB, I’m going out now (not a date) I have a gajillion things to do tonight I’ll try to be back for some cheering up. keep smiling. 🙂

*kapusta*

and I said that I’m calling for a friend, (you are my friend, right?) who’s eighteen, (I made that up.) They said that if she’s eighteen, assuming she’s a capable and responsible girl, (which I assured them she is,) she should apply to become a mentor.

To find out how to apply, please check your email.

Hi there, Kapusta! We’re on together again!

AOB, yuck I have a sore-ish throat and a cold the whole week. Its annoying because I talk low and fast and now its even lower so people really cant hear me…

anonymisss, this is so cool! problem, I dont fit all the qualifications you said I am… I do have the application (thank you 72 and 55) and I did mention something to my mother that I would like to get involved in it and she said like “its scary” I was pushing it a little (there are organizations that are involved) and then she sort of changed the subject (I’m not sure if to change the subject or to finish what I was supposed to be doing.) I hope Zev Brenner will have Rabbi Horowitz on some time soon and I’ll just bring up something like “I would love to get involved” and have it take off from there. If he doesnt hurry, I’ll have to do something on my own. Thanx a lot, I hope to put it to good use!

mepal, not really, but you’re much too quiet lately… gotta come on more!

*kapusta*

kapusta, glad you got it, thanks to our wonderful mods! I’m not sure why you think you don’t qualify, I believe that you do. (Unless you’re not yet 18? Give it a try anyway)

Keep talking to your mom about it. Hopefully, she’ll get used to the idea after a little while, hopefully.

I have them in mind every day when I daven, so thanks for the update, even if it’s not such a happy one;(

i finally decided i had to catch up on this thread,instead of reading a few posts hear and there and being totally confused so i had to go back like 7 pages and i think i got it now

kapusta -i know how you feel -trust me

CNP, sorry, I think I’m doing this to you more and more often. 😉 thanx for the sympathy.

anonymisss, I think maybe shes starting to warm up to the idea, a drop. I officially checked out the site and saw everything for myself. Her argument is that its for trained professionals. They also say on the site they have a mentor group for singles 18-29. (I didnt tell her that)She wants me to work on my father because whatever she says, it wont be done objectively.

Could you outline for me exactly what being a mentor entails? I want to be sure I’m able to do it before I apply and maybe get myself into hot water.

*kapusta*

no mods, I’m signing off. good night everyone!

*kapusta*

you guys are just all hilarious! always jumping to conclusions! 😉

who’s currently here?!

Jax, me!

anonymisss, I see you took a day off today. (good for you!) I went out with a whole bunch of people for a birthday (not mine) and I was standing outside talking to someone and I overheard a conversation, (one sided, someone on the phone) apparently someone was kicked out of their house (OTD, from my school, different grade) the first thing that popped into my head was that she was a mentor for YES, (too much CR) and then it started to settle in how much of an issue this really is. I found out today that the entire year “they” were supposed to be in my class (not too much, like for one class, messed up schedules) but they never even came (once) hoping the teacher wouldnt take attendance. I dont want to think what they were doing in that extra time. I though one was pulling down the other, but now I think that they’re having a sort of contest to see who could go lower. 🙁

*kapusta*

kapusta: different but not much better. i went to school late today so that was nice 🙂 are you any better?

it’s sad what’s happening, but are they really into what they’re doing or are they sort of unhappy with their life right now? if they aren’t asking for help (not necessarily verbal) how much can you do for them already?

aob: how ya feeling?! where are ya tonight!?

& now i have to go 🙁 have a good night without me.

AOB, a little, I have a cough now mostly. I hope you feel better soon!

I want to clarify that now (past year or two,) I havent even been in their class so I have almost nothing to so with them except that one texts every so often. They are very into what they’re doing and its very sad because (one of them) was a good girl (not the best, but good) and the other one was trouble from day 1. They seem pretty happy (as happy as they can be, I think its a different sort of happiness) and they dont want help. Thay want to do whatever they feel like which comes into problems when there is no supervision and thinking. (they got themselves in this far already). There isnt much I could do except daven so that is exactly what I’m doing.

Good night! sorry I missed you. 🙂

Jax, is that you outside honking? I’ll be out now with some special detective binoculars and some kapusta for the road. 😉

*kapusta*

Jax, as long as you dont crack up the kapusta, cracked kapusta must be made into cole slaw.
