That’s funny!
All the very best,my dear.
Don’t worry,I shall say no more.
ChanaB!!
Did I just talk to you on the telephone an hour ago???
smartcookie,I’m touched.Thank you.
I guess it’s a good lesson for ALL students to have rachmonus on the teachers who may not be teaching their favorite subject!:)
I am on NO other website.Period.
Please define “big”,”g….” and “other website”–you made me curious!
chanab,
many thousands of years ago(!),I used to customize the game.Each had to suggest a question,both wrote down answers,
and then shared the answers.
Examples:
Q.What quality that you were FIRST drawn to,do you still see in (the other spouse)?
Q.What drives (the other spouse) bananas?
Q.Name 2 favorite
of (the other spouse).Q.What accomplishment of (other spouse) still makes you very proud?
So would you care to solve the mystery?
Was it my being Litvish?
Or the subject just didn’t seem relevant?
Or (since it was a hard year for me at home,as you NOW understand)was I not as light-hearted as I tried to be?
In Brooklyn,I smell garbage lately.Ugh!
Wolf,just saw some of your photography.Wow!You should enter photography contests–you probably did,and won!
I never had an entire class be a problem,b”h.
I truly have wonderful memories of the classes I’ve taught.
In my 2 decades of teaching,I remember only 2 difficult kids from a 1990 class (with absolutely NO hard feelings),and one class(without any specific students in mind)from around 2004/5 that
could have been a little more respectful.
If there was anything else,I honestly don’t remember.
Now you made me curious.
Are you one of the students I kept up with afterwards…?
Bear with me please
didn’t everyone answer you on your other thread?
WOW!!
I must say,or virtual-speak
These limericks MADE MY WEEK!
Shticky Guy, Daas Y.,
And Smartcookie,goodbye!
With kindness,my world’s not bleak!
When I write something funny,I chuckle to myself.
When I write something sad,I have tears in my eyes.
If I wrote about murder,I think I’d scare myself.
of course,I just realized!
If any of his sons took over for him,they would probably follow the derech they observed with their father,the Rav,z”l.
I don’t think that question should be posed to the rebitzen,though.Did you mean hypothetically?
Health,by “demand” I meant aggressively–which does not inspire respect.
By “held out” I meant firmly insisting on it….
The difference is subtle but CRUCIAL.
ramat,you are very right,and it takes a highly-skilled kallah teacher to give over the importance of kedusha AND what’s perfectly mutar… in a balanced way.Don’t underestimate the complexity of that.Since every couple will face different issues,and the teacher is no navi,it’s not so simple.
I think I heard on a tape once that MILCHEMES GOG U’MAGOG is also the kind of personal tzores going on in all homes today;Sholom bayis,OTD,illness r”l….”ein bayis she’ayn shom meis”(did I quote that right?)
Lest anyone think I THINK I’m flawless—FAR FROM IT.
But I was ALWAYS working on myself and to this day he is 100% complacent with himself,midos-wise.If you’ve ever lived with someone like that,you know what it’s like.
Health–I gave plenty of respect
“demand” respect,no
I would have held out for it,and not allowed the blatant dismissal of it to be tolerated for so long.
P.S.I DID TURN TO OTHERS FOR HELP WITH THAT,AND HE WAS NOT STRONGLY CENSURED FOR IT,ever.
Third parties need to learn to see through the Jekyll and Hyde persona of MOST ABUSIVE PEOPLE.
When you have an argument,say sorry FOR YOUR ROLE IN IT.Sorry should not be accompanied by excuses.Just plain “I’m sorry for…”
NOT:
“I’m sorry THAT MADE YOU UPSET”–but rather “I’m sorry I did/said that”
NOT:
“I’m sorry but YOU have to stop being so sensitive”–but rather “I’m sorry,you’re the last person in the world I ever want to hurt in any way”
He was probably running late,just like you were.
Compliment your spouse TO YOUR SPOUSE’S FAMILY.
It creates good feelings all around.
Don’t COMPARE your spouse to anyone else’s.Ever.
DO compliment your spouse often,
but naturally,
NOT mommy-son style(“I’m so proud you washed negel vasser!”),
but wife-husband style,like:
“Sometimes I just think how lucky I am to have such a responsible and devoted husband”.
Rezdy–a favor?
You babysit for free?
I wish I would have known early on that every person deserves to feel respected.For the human being that h/she is.
mbachur’s answer fits better,probably what your teacher meant.
Well,a shul is considered a mikdash me’at….so:
“Machlokes bi’vais haknesses,sofo li’hisgazer”
which means a shul where there is strife will eventually…can someone translate the last word?
sm29,great!
happiest–it’s not much different than reading an “illness” thread.It’s uncomfortable and sad to hear about people’s suffering.And you wonder about your own health,right?
You eat as healthy as you know how,go to doctors when needed,and hope that you never get seriously ill,chas v’sholom.
Some serious illnesses
can be healed,some require “control measures”(ex.diabetes),and sometimes you can do all the right things,and the doctor will recommend…surgery.
Was that a clear moshol?Or did I just make everything worse?
new music CDs,kosher DVDs,call lonely ple.,make shidduchim!
Of course,I feel the same way as you.
Rav Blumenkrantz z”l is simply irreplaceable;there is no one like him.
I do recommend a Rav,but I would rather give you the info “off the air” so ….
Of course,in most cities/towns,it’s as Sac said –more about your personal befriending style.
But in certain parts of New York,it is possible to stand out in a way that’s uncomfortable.I don’t mind shopping in Boro Park and being asked if I’m from Crown Heights(maybe bec.my sheitel was being done and I wore a snood?),but on a regular basis ,I’d mind being conspicuous.
Rats are adorable on “Ratatouille”(however that’s spelled!),but that’s it!(DVD)
Can you make a light joke about it? Like,”hey,tomorrow it’s your turn to say hello first!”or will that go over badly?
That’s why I’m scared to move out of Flatbush…which is pretty chilled.
I think being frum allows for MORE AND BETTER same-gender relationships.I personally feel enriched by everyone I get to know.Frumkeit encourages Ahavas Habriyos.
