squeak did you ever get us your prize? or were you nominated for a mod in which we will likely never know of your prize…

does anyone know what google chrome is??? is it any good???

asdfghjkl- I use Chrome (after suffering with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer..it messed my computer up bad) I highly recommend it it’s such a pleasure to use and very quick.

qwertyuiop: yeah me too!!! i was wondering if it was worth changing to it!!!

joseph: i bet this is somethin ya know!!!

Going back to a four-week-old discussion about poems: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/random-questions/page/13

Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas – an entreaty against the acceptance of old age’s infirmity and death’s inevitability. Ironically written by a shikkur who drank himself to death at a young age.

I Have a Rendezvous with Death by Alan Seeger – haunting, well written, and prescient poem by an American volunteer fighting in WWI. As he foretold, he died in combat while still in his twenties.

thanx everyone!!!

qwertyuiop: nope, i wasn’t convinced enough!!! youtube always has it on the bottom of the page, is it good for youtube??

qwertyuiop: funny you asked, cause i do love youtube, not not really addicted to it though!!! i’ll keep ya posted if i find out more abt it!!!

asdfghjkl: thanx, and i have a friend who is on youtube pretty much as often as i’m on the CR.$

joseph: thanx for the info.$

There goes my manuscript 🙁

ICOT,

Thanks for sharing “Rendezvous with Death”–I don’t think I’d heard of it before. For WWI poetry there’s also Wilfred Owen’s poetry; “Dulce et Decorum Est” may be the most anthologized (he was killed in action at the end of the war).

Hey moish, just wondering how’s the leg doing? Haven’t heard too many complaints about being homebound recently.

~a~

Oh, that’s good to hear!!! We gotta make a party! What happens when the hard cast comes off?

~a~

moish- whatz an aircast? the type that u can manually take it off (by urself)? :o?

Well good luck gettin ur cast off and th’ aircast on! :o)

moish01: wow that’s really excitin!!! would ya need therapy on your leg after???

anon for this-

“Dulce et Decorum Est” is not one I ever heard of, but I don’t know much about poems (most of those I remember are from school assignments, or randomly stumbled across, a la “Mimsy Were The Borogoves” in the sci-fi short by the same name).

I can see that it paints a clear and vivid picture of the misery of a WWI infantryman, and the denouement of the “heroic death” sentiment expressed in the title reminds me of “All Quiet On The Western Front” – when the soldiers tricked into joining the army get to confront their old schoolmaster, “Territorial Kantorek”, about his exhortations to join up.

Ouch!!! It might still hurt, moish. Be careful! Wouldn’t want ya to get hurt again! Good luck with it all, boy!

~a~

moish01: i won’t tell your mother, but don’t do it!!!

that did not make any sense. if i’m not doing it then there’s nothing to not tell my mother. i’ll have to see when i get it off. maybe it’s healthy – you know – like therapy!

moish after you get your cast off it’s goodbye with the Cr?

don’t know – we’ll find out. (i’ll bet the moderators would love it if i did – they’d be able to breath again. i feel like every word i type is being analyzed…)

gee i feel like i made real friends on here. it’s so weird.

moish- of course you made friends here! though they may be faceless, brainless, knocked senseless ones- but friends nonetheless
