Association would be
(A + B) + C = A + (B + C)
==========================
Commutative is
(A + B) = C = (B + A) + C
or
A+B = B+A

Have you got a clue?
am yisrael chaiParticipantfactoring.
1/2 A + 1/2 B = 1/2(A+B)
You are factoring out the common term, 1/2.
======================================================
The reverse process is the distributive property, distributing the 1/2 to each term: 1/2(A+B)=1/2 A + 1/2 B
November 9, 2011 8:56 pm at 8:56 pm in reply to: Surgically created blue eyes and shidduchim #1088443am yisrael chaiParticipantBlue eyes sound better than a blue mood.
Perhaps they can come up with a surgery to change that as well…

“I’m going to try to do it. 🙂 (now I need to actually find time to 😉 but I will. And welcome back!!!!!!!?your words are always inspirational ”
*Did you make the time for it today?*
And thank you for your kind words, it makes it more worthwhile and I appreciate your sentiment, even for the word(s) you blanked out on!
am yisrael chaiParticipantDear Feiffy,
So glad to hear you are feeling better; good news these days is GREAT news.
Ok, so here’s my relationship question.
I’ve hit a bump in my relationship here in the cr and can’t seem to find the joy that I had before. So I spend much less time reading and writing here. (Perhaps that’s a good thing?!)
How do I get back to how I felt before the snafu?
am yisrael chaiParticipantInstead of drowning your sorrow in booze
Perhaps you can try to just “chap” a snooze
And refresh yourself with vim and vigor
For Hashem is leading, and His picture is bigger
Let’s combat the sad news by doing more chesed
Volunteer in a hospital or in Aym v’yeled
With increased zchuyos and spreading good cheer
May we all be zoche to a wonderful great year

Feelings are not wrong. Work with them.
When you respond to the simcha invitation with the finished product of your hard work, include a card “Your early response is greatly appreciated”
___ greatly appreciated the hours of hard work
___ moderately appreciated the hours of hard work
___ did not appreciate the hours of hard work at all

am yisrael chaiParticipantAries, you have such a depth of caring in your post, thank you for being here and for being you.
WOI-the fact that you’re asking the question means you are not there. When you know, you know. Since you have NOT decided it’s time, please change your part in the dynamics however you can (it takes two to tango); individual therapy will help you with that.
Wishing you MUCH hatzlacha.

Perhaps skip the advice and just let him learn through osmosis via your OWN eating patterns.
And kudos to you for taking him under your wing (pun intended).

“I was bothered by what she did, but if it wouldn’t bother me, I would still be doing the Chessed.”
-Tell them that although you enjoyed doing the chesed, when she did _____, it made you feel unappreciated and used. See how she responds. You need to communicate your stand on the event.
-Tell them calmly what it is you need from her so that you will feel more comfortable doing the chesed.
-You’d be amazed how some people just didn’t realize and immediately change their behavior. But if you still get grief, replace this chesed with another recipient. There is no shortage of need in this area. You mention Ohr Naava in other threads; there’s actually a special chesed coordinator there.
It shows a lot about your character, that you are bothered by the fact that you would still be doing her chesed.
Kol hakavod.
am yisrael chaiParticipant-Expect that life naturally has its ups and downs
-Develop coping skills to develop resilience
-Exercise at least 10 minutes every morning
-Write in a journal before you go to sleep and upon arising. Include 5 things for which you are grateful.
-Breathe deeply from your diaphragm
-Listen to music
-Read Garden of Emunah and Garden of Gratitude
-Keep a healthy diet
*The diet and exercise reduce physical stress while increasing endorphins, thereby giving you stamina to withstand emotional stress.
*Writing without thinking itemizes for you clearly what’s on your mind, thereby creating relief and space. Including a gratitude journal creates balance and more focus on other things going on in your life.
*Music is the language of the soul and makes us happy.
*Increasing your emuna and gratitude helps keep one going in a more positive frame of mind.
You can do it, and we’re all cheering you on! Feel better soon!
And you’ll help your friends get through it as well!

am yisrael chaiParticipantThere are two other threads lamenting over the recent tragedies:
Ikvusa d’Mshicha. We’re all reeling. Now we need to DO something.
Sholom is a big one. Hashem spared dor Haflaga and other rishoim because they were in UNITY. Please repair family and neighborly dynamics along with anything else you’d like to do.

supergirl613-Hashem has been very kind to me ba”H. I would also venture to say that I’m somewhat older than you (what a chiddush)and therefore had many more years to accumulate some vocabulary…
November 9, 2011 3:20 am at 3:20 am in reply to: Acknowleding something good/nice that someone has done for you. #825949am yisrael chaiParticipant“I always feel so hurt & stepped on.”
You are correct that people should at least say “thank you,” but not everyone does.
-Try to do things that make you feel good about it even if you don’t get back the appreciation. If you are doing the deed just to get the appreciation, you may be disappointed.
-Tell them it seems as if they don’t like the job you’ve done for them and how would they have done it differently.
-Tell them calmly that you feel unappreciated when you do the good deeds without any positive feedback.
-If you’re asked to do another favor, let them know up front that you’d really like to, but it’s important for you to feel acknowledged and not taken for granted.
-If the recipient(s) not only do not acknowledge your efforts but actually give you grief, then you need to reevaluate if perhaps your energies are better used elsewhere.
I’ve done this myself right here in the cr and only post a fraction of what I used to.

Please try individual counseling with someone you really respect.
am yisrael chaiParticipantPerhaps it would be constructive if you’d tell your classmate in a non-judgmental way to choose an alternate word and practice that word and put that word into practice instead. Oh, boy. Oh, shoot. Oh, *whatever you choose*.
You get the idea.
Oh, great.

am yisrael chaiParticipantHappy birthday, mod72 and YMHTB1!
Many happy returns of the day. May you be sources of nachas to your families and all klal Yisrael.
am yisrael chaiParticipantObservanteen,you have a wonderful and sensitive neshama, and you are responding to the tragedies by doing mitzvos in the niftarim’s zchus. This is highly commendable.
You may wish to include the following in their zchuyos:
To eradicate Fear from your heart as best you can and accept that Hashem has the ultimate control in life with emuna and confidence and love.
am yisrael chaiParticipantGoq,
We’ll all be your accountability partners.
That means letting us know each night how you did that day regarding 3 areas: diet, exercise, and self-talk (Goq, you did a great job! You used some olive oil instead of salad dressing, and exercised ten minutes more than yesterday, etc.)
You asked for it, you got it! Too late to back out now! You’ve got all of us, like it or not!
You can do it. Full confidence in you.

am yisrael chaiParticipantAbie Rotenberg-Teardrop
In a one room apartment, somewhere in the city
A story of magic unfolds
There lived an old widow without any children
Abandoned, forgotten, alone
And she lived with the memories of barbed wire fences
And darkness invading her dreams
Oh, if ever a woman had a reason to cry
Then surely the woman was she
But never did she shed a tear
She asked for no answers, had nothing to fear
Well it happened one Friday, there just was no money
Her table bare, covered in white
But she found a few pennies and bought a small candle
Her Shabbos would still have its light
And she lit the lone candle, recited the bracha
The deepest of joys in her heart
When a gust of wind blew through a crack in the window
The flame once so bright had gone dark
This time the pain was so great
She tried to hold it back but it was too late
There was a teardrop formed on the edge of her eye
It rolled down her cheek, heading straight for the candle
As if with a mind of its own
Touching the wick, the drop burst out in flames
Once more there was light in her home
No more could she hold back the tears
She cried out the sorrow of so many years
G-d’s love is hidden, in time we’ll know why
But the heavens had told her it’s all right to cry
am yisrael chaiParticipantMiddlePath
Thank you so much for your kind words. They are really appreciated.
“l’chai…oops,…wrong thread”
BaalHabooze, a Shabbos l’chaim is perfectly acceptable!
No apology necessary.

Peace to all.
