How do you know you’re in school for the right profession?
You don’t always know. But you can’t let that paralyze you to not make any decision professionally. If it becomes clear to you that your chosen field is not the right profession for you, move on and leave the experience behind you.
yiddishemishpacha, I so agree with you. He’s an artist and used his G-d-given talent to get out the pain not only for himself but for those who are able to emote through song but are not songwriters.
I can’t wait for the day when we see more threads like pba’s where we actually find the good in one another. R’ Levi Yitzchak ben Sarah Shosha mi’Berditchev was such a good example of this mida; we can only try to emulate him.
Forget about finding fault and criticizing others. None of us is perfect.
Let’s all attempt to find the glass half full, shall we?
I think this is what R’ Kletzky is trying to teach us all in his interview: ACHDUS.
You should have good mazel your whole life
Refuah shlaima to the feifdom!
You sound great and you certainly don’t need a LIFT… 🙂
One can have a whole non-verbal conversation through gesturing, pointing, mouthing, signing, etc….or can one?
The elusive Joe was before my time, so I can’t help you out, sorry.

You’re welcome. Good ol’ Murphy made sure that it would be the last of the threads presented…:)

I tried the sticky you’re referencing and it didn’t bring up this thread. It’s happened before where the sticky did not work in finding a thread, and I’ve no idea why not.
I know Icot wrote somewhere a system that works, but I’m not sure where.
Thanks, bpt, for including the day’s passage here.
I like to think of it as kosher/treif thoughts; one you can ingest and the other needs to be disposed of ASAP.
Goq, once again 🙂
kd, what a beautiful response, you could be a motivational speaker/writer! I’m sure people feel blessed to have met you and perhaps bpt will meet you, too, for Hashem works in mysterious ways.
Just how will you both know that it’s really the other, I’ve no clue…
perek 100-thanking and seeing the good in things especially when going through the tough times has always been healing for me
How about Garden of Emuna in English?
You can also contact Project Inspire with this great question; I’m sure they’ve got tons of experience with just such issues.
I hope you’re not planning anything, Splenda…

I tried that but it didn’t come up.
It’s happened before where I was able to get it via google but not through the ywn search thread; I have no idea why.
I second pba’s nomination for his upbeat & positively respectful thread: (great roshei taivos, Icot!)

could it be that the thread was pulled?

In high school, a classmate’s mother decided to go to med school & follow her dream.
And she did.
My classmate had to learn to cook & do laundry and graduated with these newly discovered skills.

It’s been said that people should get brachos by ANYONE who went through the war horrors & still retained frumkeit, no matter what type of lvush the survivor chooses.
So please run and get your brachos & get some for EVERYONE here in the CR.
There are known issues of children of survivors, to the point where the Bikur Cholim of Boro Park (718 438-2020) has a special unit devoted to this demographic. I’m sure there are others, too.
Some other traits common that kids of survivors speak of is the hypervigilance on the part of the parents, trying to make sure nothing is going to happen to their kid ch”v.
Another is that the parents save many things because of the massive deprivation suffered during their formative years. Children may have had to finish every last crumb on their plate.
It’s amazing that your dad, despite having been deprived of many basic things during wartime, did just the opposite with his family, making sure no one was deprived of anything. Think about it. Some people would say, “I didn’t have x growing up, why should you?” Because he wanted better for his kids.
He didn’t realize that either extreme is unhealthy. He did the best he could with what he knew.
We sooooooo cannot judge these people for the horrors they went through. They are amazing just in the fact that many want to continue living w/o suffering from major depression despite seeing many atrocities.
Goq, and he was such a tzaddik, too…
tzivos-hashem.org has a songbook of Jewish songs in English such as this one; you can google it and get many such songs.
Goq, that is sooooooooooooo painful. Wish I knew what to say to make it easier for you.
The only thing I can think of is that our neshama signs a “contract” before coming down to this world accepting all the challenges that it will go through. The neshama knows up there its tikun & how to best obtain it. It also prefers going through the hard stuff down here than up there. That’s part of why we’re supposed to bless Hashem for the tough stuff & not just the good (easier said than done).
Just have faith that you knew what you were doing before joining Planet Earth and that you had very good reasons for agreeing to it.
(You might think you were drunk up there accepting your lot in life but neshamos don’t drink…)
Hope this helps a little.
“… never write anything that they wouldn’t want read in open court.”
or in the open heavenly court….
kudos once again to pba for coming up with such a positive, unifying thread
Goq 🙂

It was a general comment not aimed at a particular poster & certainly not meant to be offensive. It was funny that I was so off the mark based on the thread’s title 🙂
BTW, there’s no summer vacation in your school?
There’s a heter to do laundry late 🙂
He was censoring a pressure sensor because he was pro-infrared.
I thought this thread was going to be about Grammar Enforcement Commandos who let a lot of unedited copy (spelling & grammar mistakes) go through 🙂
Love this thread!
I respect those who respect others, which seems like everyone on this thread…:)

Try to figure that out soon enough, since your subtitle claims that you are the esteemed J and you haven’t modified it…decisions, decisions
It’s a long time till tzom Gedalia. And that promo was professionally done 🙂
Tashlich in Hawaii sounds great…with Purim masks in tow, of course…
your honesty is uplifting
It’s normal, but you still need techniques how to deal with it.
Counterforce has a parenting workshop given in several locations (Parent Effectiveness Training) that has been very successful.
“The CCHF has it available for sale on DVD?”
They were selling only CDs at the event. However, I just put in a call to someone affiliated with the CCHF & said they would let me know tomorrow be”H if they will sell the DVD now that the event is over.
I agree with pba (who’s the only poster at the time of writing/typing).
Now that we got that out of the way, just remember boundaries, consequences, and sholom bayis.
Kids are normal in that they will test the limits & boundaries. Parents need to teach the kids consequences of their actions. Tension in the atmosphere can encourage children to act out.
Consequences need to be age-appropriate. So a child may need to do simple “chores” to “pay” for the paint to refresh your bedroom door, e.g.
You may need to go over supermarket rules with your child before entering with the child and allow the child to buy a “reward” if the child successfully displays appropriate behavior.
Charts posted with stars and prizes given for positive behaviors work wonders.
Tzaar gidul banim, no one said it’s going to be easy.
And DON”T compare yourself to MS. PERFECT, because that’s just an illusion & image, besides putting yourself down.

I think that it’s best if happiest answers these questions to R Goldwasser who deals with her specific issues IMHO
your memory’s great 🙂
When this old world gets me down
And there’s no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find
I’m in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day
“My name is Michael, I got a nickel
I got a nickel, shiny and new
I’m gonna buy me all kinds of candy
That’s what I’m gonna do”
See the little children
Living in a world that I left behind
Happy little children
In the playround in my mind
Oh the wonders that I find
In the playground in my mind
In a world that used to be
Close your eyes and follow me
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day
“My girl is Cindy
When we get married, we’re gonna have a baby or two
We’re gonna let them visit their grandma
That’s what we’re gonna do”
“My name is Cindy
When we get married, were gonna have a baby or two
We’re gonna let them vist their grandma
That’s what we’re gonna do”
See the little children
See how they’re playing so happy
In the playround in my mind
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
La la la la la la la
Go right ahead
Happiest

Perhaps you can succinctly explain why it’s ok to do name calling in the name of a “joke” when it is not only not allowed, it’s very juvenile. R Pam would cringe if he read about himself that he would “laugh” at the name calling one hurls indiscriminately to whomever. It’s like being in kindergarten with these threads of the same “theme.” Several posters were upset, one to the point of needing meds, and yet these posts continue to go through.
Many posters here have a sense of humor.
Name calling is not humorous.
It’s infantile.
And the ambiance of the CR is changing.
Awaiting your sage response.
