    As long as your post has nothing to do with anything anyone else said besides apples,sure.

    Try oranges,see what happens.

    I also can’t figure it out.

    I just keep telling myself,until a person has the nisayon of money they can’t know for sure how well they’d handle it.

    Also when you’re 21,you both have less “little annoying habits” to tolerate from each other.

    It was bad enough having to teach the first one to wear deoderant,who wants to teach a middle-aged settled person to put smelly socks in the hamper and wash his beard with shampoo!

    I am OVERSIMPLIFYING on purpose,but I am SURE that at least one divorced person out there is reading this and going,Ohhhhhmygosh!Totallllllly!”

    Come on,gals,a little support?

    Blogging allows my best self to come forward.

    I think before I post.

    I edit my post if it needs it.

    I request its deletion if I forsee a problem even after it goes up.

    I can choose an intriguing “image” by way of a screen name.

    In real life…for most people,

    there is in-the-moment emotion,morning breath,SCARY aging stuff with posture,skin,energy,etc.

    A whole lot less glamorous!

    psach,when the boys I was redting shidduchim to would tell me they wanted a tall,beautiful,slim girl with olive(sic) skin and round green eyes ,kind soft and gentle and also be willing to work full time cause they planned to learn forever… I told them one of 3 things.

    1.I know girls with SOME of the qualities you mentioned,but not ALL in one person,would you care to hear about a girl with only SOME?

    2.I think a totally perfect human being with zero faults would have completed her tafkid by now…she wouldn’t need to be here anymore!

    3.If I do manage to find a girl with all that in my lists,do you mind giving me a better idea OF WHAT YOU YOURSELF WILL BE BRINGING TO THE PICTURE?

    Health,I respectfully disagree with you strongly!

    Bedside manners is HOW YOU TALK TO YOUR PATIENTS.

    Being abused by the system as you describe cannot affect the way you treat VULNERABLE PATIENTS IN PAIN AND DISCOMFORT.

    If that’s what it does to a person,said person needs to switch jobs.

    No one needs a doctor that makes them feel worse.

    I keep trying different things!

    1.Put it away and set time limits.

    2.Reward myself if I accomplish certain goals.

    3.Beat myself up for spending too much time on it ANYWAY.

    4.As soon as a certain project I’m in the middle of is done,I’m going back to my old life!I will miss the CR a lot but everything’s got a price!

    Honestly,I think I anyone who lives in Brooklyn with the nisyonos of infertility/secondary infertility is saintly for just LIVING here,surrounded by expectant mothers and baby carriages,clothing stores,school buses,etc.

    It used to bother me that my younger kids didn’t always want to wear their matching outfits on the same day,and then I realized it’s better that way.

    It’s cute to match,but it does attract more attention.

    Also,it just occurred to me,that a single girl/guy can try to convince themselves that maybe their married friends aren’t perfectly happy or whatever,but a childless couple knows the joy

    a child brings-EVEN IF THE CHILD BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT,OR CAUSES PAIN LATER ON IN LIFE,everyone wants at least a chance!

    I have suffered many trials and tribulations in the last 4 decades,but my children are a blessing I do not take for granted.

    And though some of my tests are directly connected to them,and I do hope for many things,it’s still easier,I’m guessing,than the emptiness,and the curious stares,and utterly idiotic remarks people say to childless women,especially.

    Ok,I need to breathe.

    I am glad I NEVER had to wear the so-called mat.clothes they sell today.It was so much classier to be covered elegantly,even in “kollel” clothes.

    Thanks,I’m trying to keep making those teas.But it actually feels good to be running the house this past week with almost no voice,just proves IT CAN BE DONE!It hurts my throat when I have to repeat myself,but a calmer atmosphere in general.

    s2021–If I know I am holding a $50,000 diamond in my hand,and a dozen people come by and start laughing at it…”oh,look what you found in the cereal box,guess you got that in a gumball machine…” I can laugh that off,it’s meaningless to me!

    Because I KNOW this diamond is real and very valuable.

    IfI’m not sure myself how much value it has,than boy,am I going to want to keep it at a distance from you so you can’t ever see it TOO CLEARLY.

    Good Point.

    But the only way to be safe from future abuse is TO BE FULLY ACCEPTING OF ONESELF,FLAWS AND ALL.Then you are emotionally safe.

    Health,what if you come in using their “retort” as YOUR OPENER?

    Example:

    Patient:One minute,John,I think the janitor is here,hold on.(points to you)My trash can’s overflowing ag–

    Intern “Health”:(big smile)Hello,Ms.Kubakhazibokov,and how are you enjoying your stay in our lovely 5 star hotel?

    Patient:(sits up a little straighter)Oh…fine.I didn’t get the food I picked from the menu-

    Intern “Health”:I’ll tell you how to fix that in a minute.Now would you like 5 star phone service for 5 dollars a day?Or…

    Patient:5 dollars????!!

    Intern “Health”:(continue smoothly)Or…2 star service,which is free,but basically means the phone will not ring,anddd…(huge smile)if anyone wants to call you?Well,they will need to send you a postcard instead.
