“It came up in learning, that’s why I put it in the Beis Medrash, lol.”
very curious where in learning this came up…
am yisrael chaiParticipantI needed to post on an online questionnaire and kept getting an error message when I entered 11/11/11.
The error message: please put in MM/DD/YY form.
I’d like a word with those programmers…
am yisrael chaiParticipantpoor GumBall didn’t have her favorite teacher today
am yisrael chaiParticipantWow, MP, what a nice thing to say. And a great time for me to hear it, too. You are amazing. Thank you.
am yisrael chaiParticipantbpt, BH 🙂
am yisrael chaiParticipantHey, squeak, no bunker for you! You gotta give the rest of us folk a chance to get on here and figure it out!
Now please do another one.
And tell Icot that he’s run out of vacation days.
am yisrael chaiParticipantGood Shabbos everyone
am yisrael chaiParticipant“Please stay. I’ve learned so much from you.”
Whoa, I’m honored that you think so, but I’ve no clue what I had to offer you as you have incredible midos and integrity yourself.
am yisrael chaiParticipant???? ???? (especially with what’s been going on lately…)
am yisrael chaiParticipanthaha
Aw, I thought zk did it purposely, spoofing Goldilocks and the Three Bears…had a laugh as well, it was funny 🙂
am yisrael chaiParticipantfunny, Shticky!
The cr is also a great place for purls of wisdom, contrasting opinions, and, you should know, leaving us in stitches…
am yisrael chaiParticipantHey, s2021, great to see you again!
Yup, we caught your drift, even before you drifted…

am yisrael chaiParticipant“Am Yisroel Chai posted a Vort about them picking on “Joseph”. Very clever! Loved it!”
Thanks, Jothar, glad you liked it…was wondering if anyone had gotten it 🙂
am yisrael chaiParticipant“You can email me if you want to discuss privately.”
No can do, I lent my crystal ball out…
am yisrael chaiParticipantSo Goq and company, how’d it go today??
am yisrael chaiParticipantThere you go, making me LOL again!
To quote onegoal, “I can’t take this anymore! OH!”
am yisrael chaiParticipantWhat a wonderful post, Sister Bear! Your hakaras hatov while going through your challenges is a testament to your strength of character.
Remember that hrough your challenge, you’ll be developing more coping muscles and skills.
Btw, probably no one is thinking that you have no right to “complain”.
Thank you so much for your brachos, and back to you as well!
am yisrael chaiParticipantdidn’t know that learning Kol Hatorah Kula on the internet is considered internet addiction.
Live and learn.
am yisrael chaiParticipantI’m randomly posting (maybe not), but you people make me laugh!

He is also an editor at Artscroll/Mesorah Publications, at work on the new Midrash Rabbah project. Rabbi Bechhofer has served as a Rav, Rebbe and Rosh Kollel in the Chicago and New York areas.
Rabbi Bechhofer is one of the few individuals to have served as Maggid Shiur for both Daf Yomi Bavli and Daf Yomi Yerushalmi, completing both.

November 11, 2011 12:08 am at 12:08 am in reply to: You know you spend too much time in the CR when #1197313am yisrael chaiParticipant“Yosef is the tzaddik, not “Joseph”, unless you’re Christian.”
Our lost brothers and sisters are definitely not Chr, and many of us who dabble in kiruv use these names.
November 10, 2011 11:58 pm at 11:58 pm in reply to: What is the difference between a seminary girl and a cell phone? #825914am yisrael chaiParticipantsimilarities:
They both have plans, have charge, are plugged in, and enjoy the spoken word.
And have accrued bills…
am yisrael chaiParticipantSo sorry for your loss. May you find comfort soon.
You are describing several things:
-grief and trauma from the sudden ptira
-insecurity about when the next “hit” will take place and to whom
-a desire for self-improvement while you still have the chance
This sounds normal to me.
==========================================================
You can probably do several things:
*read books on the normal stages of grief
*read the Garden of Emuna. Increasing emuna helps with worrying about things that are not in your control
*write a detailed list now of the things you’d like to improve and how you are going to go about doing that. Keep track of your progress. You may find it easier with a support system.
Hatzlacha! It’s a great zchus to the niftar that you are using this as a springboard to personal growth, which is really what Hashem wants. Kol hakavod.

You’re quite welcome.
Some people just don’t get it, that’s a given. At least you tried.
I’d love to give you the number of the chesed coordinator (it’s her cell number) but obviously I prefer not posting it here.
You really have such special qualities about you. No matter what you are going through, you have high standards. Just remember to focus on all the GREAT stuff going on in your life right now as well…

You’re quite welcome.
One thing I’ve learned in life is that you can’t live your life worrying about how others will react when you are doing nothing wrong. That would make it THEIR problem, not yours.
However, when you say “I’d feel so uneasy doing something like that”, that’s totally different.
Would you feel better with the following card:
The favor of an early response is greatly appreciated.

November 10, 2011 5:24 am at 5:24 am in reply to: You know you spend too much time in the CR when #1197300am yisrael chaiParticipantYou know you spend too much time in the CR when…
…you think being called Joseph is not a good thing
(the outside world actually calls Yoseph a tzaddik, d’ya remember?!)
November 10, 2011 5:16 am at 5:16 am in reply to: You know you're not a yeshiva guy anymore when… #1197466am yisrael chaiParticipantuh, 42, sounds like phishing for information to me…could YOU be Joseph by any chance???
November 10, 2011 4:56 am at 4:56 am in reply to: You know you're not a yeshiva guy anymore when… #1197464am yisrael chaiParticipantYou people are funny!
am yisrael chaiParticipantBecause they didn’t have similac or enfamil in those days 🙂
am yisrael chaiParticipant“Please stay. I’ve learned so much from you.”
Whoa, kapusta, what a nice thing for you to say. But I can’t think of a thing I can offer, since you have incredible midos and insight yourself.
am yisrael chaiParticipantThere are posters here dealing with anorexia and bulimia, so this topic isn’t a light one (pun intended)
am yisrael chaiParticipantDiet coke is very unhealthy. Some healthier sugar substitutes are stevia and xylitol.
42, there’s some unfinished business and I prefer to do it privately, if that works for you.
November 10, 2011 4:21 am at 4:21 am in reply to: how many cups of coffee did you eat today? #825209am yisrael chaiParticipantHmmm. And what was it exactly that you put INTO your coffee???
am yisrael chaiParticipantI’m going to try to address each of you posters separately be”H.

“Welcome back AYC! Your return really meant a lot to me.”
Thank you very much for your encouraging words. I must admit that I’m rather surprised, seeing that we were not in full agreement on the subject that sent me into an unplanned vacation.
So your words are especially meaningful.
am yisrael chaiParticipantThanks so much for the chizuk, gilgul! What’s the deal with all these false accusations??? May I ask who you were in a previous life? I’m not so comfy here yet, so I’m taking it day by day and see if I will remain. But thanks for making me feel like it makes a difference.
November 10, 2011 4:02 am at 4:02 am in reply to: You know you're not a yeshiva guy anymore when… #1197454am yisrael chaiParticipant…when yeshivishe shprach becomes more of a foreign language
am yisrael chaiParticipantThis is strictly parshas hashavua, the other is about any topic.
am yisrael chaiParticipantGreen apples have less sugar content than red ones.
am yisrael chaiParticipantAnyone else?
The dvar Torah I posted here didn’t make it through and have no clue why not, so please make donations to the cause here…
TIA
am yisrael chaiParticipantThanks, bpt, but I earned even better than an Edited; I got a Deleted! And it was a vort on the parsha thread! Go figure!
am yisrael chaiParticipantGumball, so in your example, if you split half the Mint Chocolate chip ice cream with person A and half of it with person B….
am yisrael chaiParticipantIn 1/2 A + 1/2 B = 1/2(A+B), you are not distributing anything. You are factoring out the 1/2.
In the reverse 1/2(A+B)=1/2 A + 1/2 B, you are distributing out the 1/2 and removing parentheses.
am yisrael chaiParticipant“AYC is correct, the rest of us who wrote distributive are wrong.”
Thank you, charlie brown. It was quite uncomfortable being the sole unpopular opinion here. (At least I wasn’t berated for it…guess I’m not over that other experience yet, sigh)
am yisrael chaiParticipantBaalHabooze
The sun is ALREADY shining
Your kids are healthy and aren’t whining
Every cloud has a silver lining
Count your blessings and you’ll be smiling.
