random question: Why do people say random question when this is the random question thread?
because as in most threads, 9/10 of the posts are off topic. so that’s an easier way of saying “back on topic”
and i know that’s my SCREEN NAME, but my real name is plain Moish. (yeah i was named without the “01” my parents didn’t think it was necessary.)
moish: Ok if it makes you feel better.
Is it correctly spelled ok or okay?
moish: or every son your parents have all they have to do is change the number! moish01, moish02, moish03……
okay.
jax, sure, and dinnertime my mom just has to add it up and say “moish15 – dinner!”
aussie, both. O.K. (or ok) is a shortened version of Martin van Burens birthplace Old Kinderhook.
moish: yeah that’ll work well!
kapusta: Oh. Thats where the word originated?
aussie, yes. (my 5th grade teacher would be so proud if she saw me now!)
Is kapusta and queen kapusta the same person??????
Shaatra, there is one real queen kapusta who goes by the name of kapusta. this impostor queen is someones idea of a very bad joke1
kapusta: a mod is just having some fun & you know which mod it is!
I have a “friend” that lies and brags about the lies and everything else. It is really bad to the extent that when we are all sitting aroud talking and she joins soem friends just leave because they can’t take the lying. The others turn her off. We all feel bad for her, her parents treat her like garbage and she is really a nice girl. How do we get her to stop lying without telling her outright?
22OG, this is not the answer you’re looking for but maybe try it with her once or twice so she knows how it feels…
*therealkapusta*
no way is “queen kapusta” our friend the real kapusta (who is the real queen 😉 )
22oldgold: that’s sad. maybe just only half-believe everything she says. whenever she says something, especially something exaggerated or that you know is a lie, don’t act surprised or give her extra attention, just be like sure, ok, & go on with your conversation. if it’s for attention, she will hopefully realize it’s not working and stop.
what lying? My friend tried having a heart to heart kind of talk with her about just everything and she was just bragging and lying. It’s hard, I don’t talk to her really outside of school and she’s a really nice girl.
AOB, thank you for defending me and that was a MUCH better answer than I gave. (that was a real queenly giving in 🙂 )
*therealkapusta*
thanks kapusta (i can tell you’re the real one) 🙂
!!!!! 4th time – ONLY because other posts on this thread got posted, & my answer isn’t!!! (otherwise i would try & have patience, but i’m not real sure what’s going on here)
i know because moish mentioned his age before my birthday.
often imitated, never duplicated.
*therealkapusta*
kapusta: just so you know, i answered your question & moish’s 4 times but the mods aren’t letting it through. not sure why, could be they’re just getting annoyed 🙁
22OldGold: Just be open and straight up with her and tell her to stop it. She will be very insulted at first but she will get over it.
22oldgold: did you see my answer?
AOB, oh good answer never quite thought of it that way, but that means you had a birthday pretty recently, so a belated happy birthday to you!
(:therealkapusta:)
aussie, she’s a girl. Could be she’ll be able to eventually deal with it and also could be not. As wrong as she is, some girls can be seriously crushed by being so straight up with them.
~a~
kapusta: thanks 🙂 yeah, i actually mentioned it once, i remember i got a happy belated birthday from someone, jax maybe? (well actually it was asdfghjkl then but yeah)
i’m so glad my answer finally went up 🙂 i’m gonna try the other one now, hopefully the current mod is nice.
i use moish01 because i know someone else moish, so without the numbers makes me think of him. but i could stop if you don’t like it.
an open book: yeah i was me! your mind still works!
anonymisss: Maybe. I guess it really depends on the person, but i still think honesty is the best policy i have had freinds be straight up with me and i got in sulted for a bit but it went away after a bit. If you think she would be crushed then try doing it in a softer way by hinting it out or exposing her lies.
kapusta, thanks for asking about her. Baruch hashem, I’m very proud of her right now. She got a job for the days that she’s off before pesach which is great. She feels like she’s doing something, she feels good when she has money in her pocket, and most important, she’s not bored, which is really awful for her (for most people.) How she spends her free time, I don’t ask. I know that the most important thing for her right now is to feel good about herself.
anonymisss, very very happy to hear that! Please keep us updated on her improvements.
(:therealkapusta:)
anyone want to come up with a new signature for me? (one that differentiates me from the impostor queen) this one is getting a bit long…
kapusta: just use your regular *kapusta* signature! we know it’s the real you, she signs as “the queen”. anyway, we know it’s you from the side, you don’t even NEED a signature since you have slightly different screen names 😉
an open book: yeah i was me! your mind still works!
i’m glad 😉 thanks
aussie, I’m also all for honesty. It is definitely the way to go. Perhaps to be honest in a very subtle way might be good in this case.
Kapusta, (therealone) thanx!
~a~
random question, anonymisss: how many screen names have you had before this one??
I used to post under abcd and then I publicly changed, no secrets, no hiding. Why you asking and what about you?
~a~
i was reading an old thread. sometimes they’re really interesting.
nope, this is my one & only sn
& you know i don’t lie 🙂
😉
AOB- that won’t do. How does the full expression go?
areivimzehlazeh: i said i wouldn’t quote him anymore.
also i’m too lazy to search for it 😉
AOB, did you see where I changed?
~a~
no, i don’t think so. why?
Thanks all for your suggestions.
AOB no one could survive a 110 fever and only miss school for one day. Sorry it’s impossible.
aussieboy the problem with telling her straight out is that she has low self esteem issues I think. Her parents treat her like garbage.
Maybe we’ll right her a letter nicely saying it to her.
22OG, before you try to fix the lying issue, make her feel like a person so she comes to you on her own and starts telling you the truth. Good Luck!
AOB, cuz I made more than one announcement when I changed names.
22OG, kapusta has a point. Maybe she needs to feel some respect from you if she’s not getting it anywhere else.
~a~
AOB no one could survive a 110 fever and only miss school for one day. Sorry it’s impossible.
22oldgold: what did that have to do with anything? i’m a bit confused. if you were referring to my comment that you should half-believe her, i meant even when she says something possibly true (it’s not possible that every word out of her mouth is a lie. is it?), don’t assume she’s being totally honest. she might get annoyed that you don’t take her so seriously & stop the lies.
Someone asked me for forgiveness and I would love to forgive them but I have very hard feelings against them. Is it better that I tell them that I forgive them even if I don’t?
no- then it’s not a real forgiveness. first try to work it out between you two.
22OldGold: You can try speaking to someone who can speak to her like a teacher or something, but the letter sounds idea sounds good.
