    HaLeivi,if the poster is embarrassed then isn’t it o’na’as devorim to pursue it?

    I also think I figured out a friend,but as soon as I mentioned it,the person changed the subject.

    That was my cue to drop it like a hot potato.

    You seem intuitive in general,so I’m sure you agree.

    If a post bothers you,comment on that thread.

    No need to insult globally.

    I personally have requested several of my own posts deleted if even one poster was upset by it.

    Oh!And since you asked,coming home at 4:00 a.m. is not good manners.

    Oh…I forgot:

    Hiding the stamps,writing paper,and toilet paper because you think it’s being “wasted” is disturbed behavior.

    And never make your wife return items to the grocery store because you don’t think the purchase was necessary…

    Thank you,everyone.

    If only people would realize that when you don’t do teshuvah….there is midah k’neged midah.

    There was no DAMAGE CONTROL in my situation and the long-term ramifications of that are quite serious.

    Speaking of men and manners….

    A word to the wise:

    1.Beards must be shampooed.

    2.Deoderant on top of shvitz is ineffective.

    3.Learning gemara while your kid is dangling from a chandelier is odd.

    4.Don’t tell your wife you’ll watch the kids so she can sleep and then promptly fall asleep 2 minutes later.

    More manners available upon request.

    happiest:Miriam Adahan says:Ride the waves…know it will pass and mainly…keep busy with normal routine.

    If you’re up to it,do positive acts that help others.

    And,as others have said,HASHEM is there for you,24/7.

    P.S. I admire your courage,strength,honesty,and perserverance!!

    I can get a fancy sparkling grape juice and Schmerling chocolate bars with food stamps–even if I don’t have cash.I think my kids’ teachers and rebbeim understand.And the nice notes are free,and appreciated.If I ever do have the extra cash to give…I’ll send,gladly.

    Since I slept,and am in a lighter mood,here are some of the laughable things I’ve been told over the last few years.

    “What?!You have …(amt.)kids and you got divorced? DIDN’T YOU HAVE ANY SELF-CONTROL???”

    “What?!You were married …(amt.)years and THEN you got divorced?Why on earth did you WAIT so long??”

    “Oh,don’t worry,you can get back together–even after a ‘get’,really!”

    “DID YOU EVER CONSIDER INITIATING MARRIAGE COUNSELLING?”

    “You know who suffers from the selfishness of the parents?Your kids!”

    ETC.,ETC.

    A word to the wise:

    The LESS you say,the wiser you’ll stay.

    I think the Mishpacha prints way too many oversimplified (and therefore irresponsible) articles.The article that prompted me to call them once, was the one about a lady with an abusive husband who apparently turned into a little tzadik AS SOON AS SHE FIXED ALL HER FLAWS.I told them they had better put in another article balancing that out with one based on reality or ALL my relatives would be photocopying that story and mailing it to me!I even offered to meet with them in person.They humored me for a few minutes on the phone,this one told me to call that one…b’kitzur,nothing came of it.

    Like today:

    Me:So my daughter came to visit…

    She:Make sure she always feels welcome!

    Me:Yes,she knows,that’s why she came…

    She:She knows?!Do you tell her?

    Me:Of course,and it’s a given…

    She:You might think so,but do you tell her you love her?Blah,blah,blah..

    I wish I knew how to be “cool” and a little “snobby” when people overstep their boundaries.I am just too warm to be “cool”!!

    Really. Mean is incorrect and immature,but you do simply need to be “cool” when people’s chutzpah disconcerts you.I am not the least bit shy,but certain things catch me off-guard.

    Ever think of the BEST COMEBACKS in the shower 3 hours too late,at three a.m.5 days later,and when it’s just ridiculous to bring up the topic again?
