March 18, 2009 3:34 am at 3:34 am #1079672coke not pepsiMember
jax- i am sure everyone is going to say this, but hatzalahs number should be in your phone even if you dont know it by heart….
March 18, 2009 3:37 am at 3:37 am #1079673moish01Memberspeed dial on my phone. if i lost my phone i would have no idea. but hten again, if i lost my phone i wouldn’t be able to call…
March 18, 2009 3:40 am at 3:40 am #1079674anonymisssParticipantJax, that’s really bad. My teacher in third grade taught it to us and we chanted it together every single day of third grade. That’s why I know it and why I’m able to remember it in an emergency situation. Parents should really be responsible to teach it to their children and constantly remind them of the number.

March 18, 2009 3:47 am at 3:47 am #1079675oomisParticipanti got a random question:
how many people know Hatzlolah’s number by heart???
I keep it taped to the phone, but I also knwo it by heart. I hope that whoever you knwo who needed Hatzalah is ok, and that it was just a minor thing.
My mother O”H passed out the day after we got up from shiva for my father O”H, and as I was unsuccessfully trying to revive her, my then seven year old son ran to call Hatzalah without wasting a second, then ran to the door to let them in. Talk about remaining calm in an emergency!
March 18, 2009 5:32 am at 5:32 am #1079676kapustaParticipantI also had to learn it in school, and who ever said its not worth anything to sit in school? 718-387-1750 hope no one ever needs it 🙂
good going jax (asdf!!!!!) hope everything is ok 🙂

>> just frustrates me how people think they can say whatever they want and that it won’t have any effect on me. just couse i give a tough impression doesn’t mean i ignore them. what’s so hard for people to understand? <<
moish I can’t believe I missed this important conversation.
1- It is utterly annoying when you really need to get something off your chest and the mods don’t let it through- even if you know that maybe the content doesn’t belong in the CR
2- my heart sank to my toes when I read your posts (I’m serious)- it sounds like someone lost all tact, all their sensitivity and you were deeply hurt as a result
3- you do not sound tough, you do not sound tough, you do not sound tough- should I say it again? … you just like to argue is all
March 18, 2009 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm #1079679moish01Memberthanks, areivim but i can’t let myself get all worked up right now.
March 18, 2009 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #1079680squeakParticipantmoish, I’d be happy to get you worked up if you can’t do it yourself
😉
March 18, 2009 8:28 pm at 8:28 pm #1079681moish01Memberi know you could- you’ve done it in the past. and i never said i can’t. i just can’t let myself
it’s just gonna get me more upset. it’s not worth it.
March 18, 2009 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm #1079682areivimzehlazehParticipantmoish- I don’t know the situation, so I can’t say if you should talk it out or let it pass. Just one thing- if it’s still sizzling inside, you gotta let it now before it’s too late
we knew we can count on you squeak in times of need 😉
March 18, 2009 9:12 pm at 9:12 pm #1079683moish01Memberyou can read the last page of the egg/coffee bean/carrot thread if you wanna know.
basically i was recently informed that i’m the reason my friends do things that they shouldn’t. that was the nicest way i could put it.
March 18, 2009 9:44 pm at 9:44 pm #1079684anonymisssParticipantbasically i was recently informed that i’m the reason my friends do things that they shouldn’t. that was the nicest way i could put it.
and WOW!!! you did a great job saying it nicely despite the fact that you were deeply hurt by it. Yeah, yeah, you always say you’re a nice guy so I shouldn’t be surprised.
~a~
March 18, 2009 10:01 pm at 10:01 pm #1079685an open bookParticipantkapusta: thanks for answering my question earlier 🙂
March 18, 2009 10:03 pm at 10:03 pm #1079686moish01Memberanonymisss, this is me four days later. and it still really bothers me. you should have seen how angry i was on motzei shabbos. there’s no way i could have phrased it like that if you asked me then.
but yeah, you shouldn’t be so surprised that i’m such a nice guy 😉
March 18, 2009 10:16 pm at 10:16 pm #1079687areivimzehlazehParticipantmoish- I just posted a long one on the egg/coffee bean/carrot thread. May take time for the mods to send it, but please read.
Imo anoichy b’tzara- I really feel in your tzar moish
March 18, 2009 11:50 pm at 11:50 pm #1079688aussieboyParticipantHas anyone ever wondered about the fact that saying something is such a cliche, is such a cliche? (Which in fact makes this such a cliche.)
March 20, 2009 1:41 am at 1:41 am #1079689anonymisssParticipantTo be tooootalllly off topic:
Random question here- “I hate shabbos! I’m so bored, what am I supposed to do for so many hours?” What do you answer a teenager (who didn’t make it in the mainstream yeshiva/BY system) who has this complaint?
~a~
March 20, 2009 2:15 am at 2:15 am #1079690coke not pepsiMemberthats a tough one anonymiss!!! hhmmm let me think about this one
March 20, 2009 2:23 am at 2:23 am #1079691moish01Membertell them to text me, i’m sure we could figure something out, anonymisss 😉
jk- does this person have friends? i mean, i know i’m not the prime example of how to spend a shabbos, but there are plenty of things to do (even besides for playing ball!)
how about reading? sleeping? chess? even candyland with little kids 😉 (ok, i wouldn’t advise that one to anyone…)
March 20, 2009 2:41 am at 2:41 am #1079692anonymisssParticipantlol, moish, i’ll pass on the message.
ames and moish- seriously; yes to the friends, but now that this person is not currently living at home, the friends live way on the other side, so it makes that complicated.
any other ideas?
~a~
March 20, 2009 4:12 am at 4:12 am #1079693moish01Membergave you all my ideas. besides for reading or sleeping, i don’t know of anything a kid could do solo that’s not being mechalel shabbos. unless he wants to play solitaire or something.
March 20, 2009 4:15 am at 4:15 am #1079694JaxMemberanonymisss: lots of eating!!!
March 20, 2009 4:20 am at 4:20 am #1079695kapustaParticipantanonymisss this is not my kind of thing but maybe learn something about shabbos, so the kid can enjoy it for what it is, and look for a form of escape. or is the kid off? 🙂
March 20, 2009 10:14 am at 10:14 am #1079696anonymisssParticipantkapusta, well, not off yet…..
~a~
March 20, 2009 6:49 pm at 6:49 pm #107969722OldGoldParticipantWhy doesn’t she get a friend to stay with her for shabbos and they could do stuff together?
March 20, 2009 7:58 pm at 7:58 pm #1079698anonymisssParticipant22, that’s actually a good idea and works sometimes, but not always.
ames, how about fifty cents? I think that’s correct.
~a~
March 20, 2009 8:07 pm at 8:07 pm #107969922OldGoldParticipantWhen the weather gets nice why doesn’t she walk to her friends houses (depends on the distance.)
March 20, 2009 9:07 pm at 9:07 pm #1079701kapustaParticipantanonymisss youre not making me too happy :/
ames I think both .50 and 50 (or fifty) cents goes 🙂
March 20, 2009 10:23 pm at 10:23 pm #1079702an open bookParticipantanonymisss: beside all the good ideas everyone said, maybe play something with the people around (they don’t live alone, do they)? sometimes when i have nothing better to do i play games (like a board game or cards) w/ one of my siblings or anyone at my house. even if different ages, sometimes it can work.
March 22, 2009 1:50 am at 1:50 am #1079703anonymisssParticipantames, I really think that is the most correct way to write it in a formal writing.
kapusta, not happy about what? Oh, I just went back to reread, you’re talking about this kid? I’m not very happy about it either. I wish I could do something I just don’t know what.
~a~
March 22, 2009 2:37 am at 2:37 am #1079704anonymisssParticipantAOB, thanks! I’ll see what I can do.
~a~
March 22, 2009 6:25 am at 6:25 am #1079705kapustaParticipantdoes she respect any part of frumkeit? 🙂 maybe appeal to a different part of her and go to a nursing home or something with her if shes the type… lots of people do it and really enjoy it. (is it a she or a he?) I wish you luck with this one, its not easy 🙂
March 22, 2009 6:33 pm at 6:33 pm #1079707an open bookParticipantanonymisss: good luck! keep us updated 🙂
March 22, 2009 6:39 pm at 6:39 pm #1079708kapustaParticipantanonymisss I wish I had an idea for you, but maybe (this is a bad time for this, I know, and I apologize) but maybe you can show her that (normally) you are very happy being frum and wouldnt give it up to become happier. how old is she? the older she is, the easier it is 🙂
March 22, 2009 9:01 pm at 9:01 pm #1079709anonymisssParticipantkapusta, firstly, it’s really nice that you took into consideration my current situation when answering. Thank you! By the way, today and yesterday were b”h good days. Secondly, I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to say, “and wouldn’t give it up to become happier. What do you mean?
She’s sixteen.
~a~
March 22, 2009 9:03 pm at 9:03 pm #1079710anonymisssParticipantYes, I know this is backwards of me. Kapusta, about respecting any part of frumkeit, she (not surprising) LOOOOOOOVES people who are nice. So the nursing home thing actually might appeal to her. It’s a really good idea that I will definitely explore. Thank you. Any other similar ideas will be greatly appreciated.
~a~
March 22, 2009 9:36 pm at 9:36 pm #1079711moish01Memberquestion: what does visiting a nursing home have to do with being frum?
March 22, 2009 9:41 pm at 9:41 pm #1079712kapustaParticipantmoish absolutely nothing, but its something people who are frum do, and people who are not frum may do, and if not that then at least they respect it. 🙂
anonymisss this is more of a “frum” thing but maybe something along the lines of a bnos group? 🙂
March 22, 2009 9:45 pm at 9:45 pm #1079714moish01Memberso what does this mean?
does she respect any part of frumkeit? 🙂 maybe appeal to a different part of her and go to a nursing home or something
March 22, 2009 9:52 pm at 9:52 pm #1079715an open bookParticipantames: & i visit the most old ppl daily 😉
March 22, 2009 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm #1079716anonymisssParticipantames, you’re totally hilarious!!!! I literally LOLed at that line!
moish, it’s appealing to the “being a nice person” aspect. Not necessarily to being frum as in davening or keeping shabbos kind of things. I guess what I mean is more bein adam lachaveiro.

March 22, 2009 10:03 pm at 10:03 pm #1079717JaxMemberames: oh gosh, you really think the cr is full of senior citizens???
March 22, 2009 10:06 pm at 10:06 pm #1079718kapustaParticipantmoish you should become a cake decorator, you pay attention to the nitty gritty. ok, it was just a poor choice of words. basically that helping is a basis of yiddishkeit, not to say that non frum/non jewish dont help or anything, but its one of the principles of Judaism. 🙂
March 22, 2009 10:09 pm at 10:09 pm #1079719an open bookParticipantames: thanks 😉
but how is that more frum….? (like what moish01 was saying?)
March 22, 2009 10:11 pm at 10:11 pm #1079720kapustaParticipantnot frum actually, maybe stronger bain adam lechavairo 🙂
March 22, 2009 10:14 pm at 10:14 pm #1079721moish01Memberames, how old am i??
March 22, 2009 10:17 pm at 10:17 pm #1079722an open bookParticipantames: then you must be very very young… 😉
kapusta: ok
March 22, 2009 10:17 pm at 10:17 pm #1079723kapustaParticipantin that case, with my 🙂 I must register as 3 or 4… 🙂
March 22, 2009 10:21 pm at 10:21 pm #1079724anonymisssParticipantmoish, I would say lately you’ve been acting about two!! lol, it’s a compliment. I’m scared to ask that question about myself!!!
~a~
March 22, 2009 10:23 pm at 10:23 pm #1079725JaxMemberames: so according to your theory, how old does that make me???
