    Because it’s an addiction amongst using texting for other bad things. The Goyim have a word for it -you replace the “t” with the letter before it.

    Is that for bochurim or married men as well? Does that make sense then? Should wives have to wait to leave messages for them husbands or should they interrupt them during learning with a phone call?

    The ban on texting is for Bochurim only as of now.

    AYC The mods should be really grateful to you. That is their job to do (according to the YWN rules) but you’ve done it for them many times I noticed. Any day now you should get a hallowed application moderator form in the mail. Poppa also did!

    “AYC The mods should be really grateful to you…Any day now you should get a hallowed application moderator form in the mail. “

    Funny as usual, SG!

    Let’s just say that you’re about the only one who noticed and responded…haven’t heard much from the mods except when they’re busy deleting posts and even an entire thread (The Close-’em-burger Rebbe Returns!.) How appropriate!

    I haven’t even received a response to my request along with Icot in the “Contact Us” section with a request to exchange temporary addresses in the puzzle thread or even to redt shidduchim (a hobby along with puzzles, don’t ask!).After thinking about it, I figured it would make sense to make a temporary aycamyisraelchai on the gmail account, while he could become Icot, now wouldn’t that be original…

    But thank you for noticing and taking the time to thank and comment on it, that says a lot about you in addition to all your humor. And that gentle way you handled my “newbie-ness” when I was attempting to be helpful to you in numbering posts (who knew you were an old-timer??!) (I’m using the word “old” loosely…)

    Seriously, thanks. It’s nice to get a good word now and then.

    One potential pitfall of texting is that you become so addicted to it that you lose the ability to speak and listen and fall into the category of “Cheresh”.

    For those who keep Shabbos, you are forced to speak and listen at least one day out of seven and will never fall into the category of “Cheresh”.

    “Is that what that letter from ConEd was? I thought it was a bill and chucked it.”

    It didn’t say ConEd; it said ModEd

    No, I remember now. I did open it, but the whole thing just said in big bold letters “edited”.

    AYC What a nice post to read. Thank you. I appreciate your ‘appreciativity’ ☺ (sorry haifagirl).

    The truth is, there is no poster as helpful or as caring as you. I could easily embarrass you by pasting many, many of your posts where you continually acknowledge other posts, help out where needed, and show unlimited genuine concern. One of the many instances is the ‘I am very sick’ thread.

    You display true ahavas yisrael as a second nature and the name “am yisrael chai” is truly a fitting one for you. You also have very informative, learned posts and a great wit also. If there were other posters like you I would post much more often. Everyone likes to be acknowledged. So I thank you again and please keep it up and I look forward to your first YWN birthday in half a year! Have a wonderful yontif and with ppl like you we’ll go forward to Moshiach real soon! KIT. Shalom Chaver.

    Wow.

    I’m really touched.

    Not only I wasn’t embarrassed, but this came at such an opportune time. You see, I was wondering if my life brought zchuyos to my parent. I sat shiva VERY briefly erev Rosh Hashana- that’s the whole shiva. Then the shloshim was over a week later-by Yom Kippur.

    There was obviously not much opportunity to talk about the deceased. So I wanted to dedicate actions to the neshama. I was quite sad the entire yomim noraim, not able to come up with too many zchuyos. The most I came up with was helping an elderly person put on a sweater, and giving a Russian newcomer a smile and a Russian machzor.

    So because of your kind words, I can now say, here is how I can be Mechabed my parent!

    And I dedicate any forthcoming kind words to the neshama of my parent, whom I cannot be mechabed anymore.

    **Perhaps it said “MODDED”…**
