aussie, hebrew bdays are not identifying and you guys missed it. this thread has been cleaned up by one awesome mod.;)
~a~
aussie, probably because when someone asks about a birthday, most people will answer with their english one, not their hebrew. And hebrew birthdays are good for giving brachos on, english is just a “regular” day.
sorry, i meant the bday thread was cleaned up.
~a~
Do you talk to your computer?
anonymisss: yeah, i saw a bit of what was deleted. but nothing that explained the danger of giving out your (english) bday. so what can someone do with that info already? like coke said, plenty of people have the same bday as you, right?

kapusta: Whatever works for you, If bieng too mean will just make you feel worse than her bothering you then its not worth it
It hurts me to have to be mean to somebody, and it even hurts me when I see someone being rightfully screamed at. Theres a way to say something and a way to say something. (Several years ago, a teacher gave me mussar for something she should not have been involved in, more recently, a different teacher gave me mussar for the same thing. The first time, it was said in the worst way possible, so a, it didnt accomplish anything, b, I lost whatever respect I had for her, which wasn’t too much to begin with, and c, it was rechilus, because it told me that teachers were talking about me “behind the scenes”. More recently, when the second person did, it was covered up with so many compliments and so much caring, it was obvious she was doing it for me and she told me many times in the beginning if I feel hurt in any way to walk out.) I decided to be extra careful when in a situation where mussar is necessary (or telling someone “off”, in case there is any way someone would be hurt, to do it in the lightest way possible. I do, get angry, and I can become very very mean, when I feel its the only way my point will be taken to heart, and even more so if there is an injustice and someone is being harmed because of it or even losing out on something.
I talk to my computer when its acting up and not listening to the queen. 🙂
do you know why it’s not a good idea to post your english birthday?
how? plenty of people share the same birthday. i don’t think it’s even possible for a day to be only one person’s birthday.
ames: think about it. there are more than 365 people in the world. even if you want to narrow it down, there are more than 365 people who could easily be members of the cr. there’s no way everyone has their own day.
i’m back.
the question still hasn’t been answered…do the mods even know why they changed the thread?
ames: i saw a bunch of those posts, but none that explained why. so i guess i left too early 🙁
wondering forever isn’t completely a joke in my case. there’s some stuff i really just have been wondering forever (btw, i’m not talking about deep questions). it’s not so good, i’m trying to work on that.
AOB, why is the sky blue? 😉
kapusta: not like that 😛
Do you need to give maaser on money won through gambeling? (and if so do you need to give for each game you win or can you add up at the end of, say, a month how much your up and give maaser from that?)
aussie, I dont have smicha yet, but I dont see why not, its considered earnings and I dont see why you cant add it and just give it at the end of the month or something, as long as you give it. I could be wrong.

mepal: Whats that mean?
feivel: There are stop signs in malls? Really?

Yeah, cuz I have tonz of work to do. I missed you.
You’re talking like someone i know. uh oh! lol, I doubt that I know you. Glad to hear you’re doing so well these days.

*kapusta*
kapusta- I actually used to know the scientific answer to that. But I forgot… 🙁
mepal: Though you will never find the passuk quoted above, there is a drasha on a passuk to that effect –
Asser Ta’aser ais t’vuas zar’echa…. (Parshas Re’ah)
The drasha is “Asser ba’avur she’ti’asher”.

Where are all my psychs when I need them? I’m in such a bad mood;(
~a~
ames, kapusta, jax, aussie, moish, areivim, squeak, 2bym, mepal, aob?????? where is everyone?
~a~
if the others are here (and at least one mod) i’ll stay a little. otherwise i’m going to sleep. i’m bombed.
i want missed but i am here
I’m here. moish, up for a hangman game?
~a~
cnp, as I clicked ‘send post’ i said “hey I missed cnp.” sorry, you WERE missed.
~a~
oh, ames, nice to see a friendly face. Thanx.
I have a sixteen yr old sister that I really trust. Tonight, I left my cell phone on the counter in the kitchen for literally 2 minutes as I walked out of the room to get something. I came back. She was peacefully reading my text messages, unabashedly. It hadn’t even occurred to me that she might do that, I had such confidence in her.
I felt so, so violated and I feel awful about some of the texts that she read-people trusted me and now I feel like I betrayed them that she read texts that they sent to me. I am so upset about it;(
I was so shocked, I had no idea how to react, so I sort of made a joking comment about being a snoop. I’m so angry at her. How could she invade someone’s privacy like that?
~a~
well, never mind anything else, I recently had this discussion with her about cell phones – how wrong it is to even look through people’s contacts or recent calls.
I’m not an overly private person, just some things are WAAAAAY out of line;(
btw, am I overreacting?
~a~
anonymisss: no your not really overreacting! if my younger sister did that, i’d be mad too!
I hear what you’re saying, ames. Btw, thanx for listening.
Well, what should I do now that she read all that? Especially the two people who she really knows and read their texts, I’m totally horrified. I feel terrible for them. What should I do now? (The first thing I said was – god, make her forget everything she read.)
~a~
jax, thanks for the sympathy. I could really use it right now.
ames, she’s still up but I’m too mad to talk to her tonight. Maybe tomorrow I’ll see if I could be mature enough to talk to her like you said. I might need some coaching;)
~a~
NO NO NO NO NO NO WAY!!!!!!! I’ll kill her if she does that. One of those two ppl is actually a former classmate of hers who’s…ummmm….not doing so well these days, in and out of school, y’know what I mean. HELP!!!! It’s probably too late, it happened like three hours ago;( I’m about to cry.
~a~
anonymisss: please don’t cry, then i won’t be able to help ya! go see if your sister is up to have a calm(as calm as possible) shmooze with!
K, I just checked, she went to sleep;( I’m finished….
~a~
anonymisss: will you be up in the AM when she gets up to go to school?
jax, well, i’m usually not, but now that you mention it, i think tomorrow i might be. and i am crying;( in my heart<3
~a~
anonymisss: so have a shmooze about trust with her & that you really hope she won’t tell a soul what she read!
jax, I will. I hate these conversations, it never comes out the way I plan it, I am NOT looking forward.
Anyone have any suggestions how to say it?
