We use nice, clean money. I’m petrified of live chickens.
Oh, and find a shul where they sing all the beautiful haunting/joyful tunes…..it literally helps enhance one’s concentration and fervor. Also, try to daven where you feel somewhat connected to the people around you, because we pray in plural after all. Hope at least one of these ideas helps!!
Keep telling yourself you will take a break in 20 minutes….when the 20 minutes is up, say “you know what, I can do another 15 mts. THEN I’m going out….” Do that in short increments of time until you really can’t sit/stand any longer….then refresh yourself quickly and go back in….Your entire year depends on it….
Anyone know where to buy PINE Schach?
WIY: Amein!!!! V’chein L’mar (is that how its said?)
funnybone, you are referring to the OP,correct?
Thank you, oomis and refuah shleima to Dov Nechemiah Hakohen ben Rochel Chaya Sarah….chemo is tough, may Hashem give strength.
Will you change the baby? (5)
This button fell off again.(5)
JUST JOKING!!
It means: I Am Here For You….
And my friend Esther Rochel bas Faiga who has spent 90% of the last 10 years in and out of hospitals. It’s not a life!!
Today someone who was against my divorce randomly sent me a slew of extremely abusive messages, including sending me a link to a mental illness website as the final email!
The injustice of such unprovoked hurt sent me reeling.
I did not respond, however, because it’s useless: no logic there,just hate for me.
So my thought here is : NEVER LET ABUSIVE PEOPLE DETERMINE YOUR VALUE, OR ALLEGED VALUELESSNESS!!!
Toi: “for you”- you mean that generally I hope!
Anyway, it may “always be there”, but the people you repel/neglect/hurt along the way won’t always be hanging around…eventually, it will be JUST you… and your friend, the bottle.
Toi: Interesting question….If “Harry” is derogatory in any way, which it seems, then the answer is a resounding no!
Whatever else I’m tempted to reply, I won’t.
It’s a very nice CD, and you can relax and not feel guilty listening because none of the tunes were “borrowed” from unholy sources….I like ALL music, but some songs sound strangely familiar these days….I’m an amateur composer/lyricist, and I don’t see the need to literally copy stuff….
Snuck back in (tho I resolved not til after Sukkos) to set the record straight.The mesivta/bais medrash several of my boys attend have strongly enforced No Smoking from the very beginning. If you are caught with a cigarette you are literally suspended. And you don’t come back “like it’s nothing”,either!
oy1: you know that each ring signifies a year, right?
Far Rockaway has beautiful gowns…Safier, I think.
Isn’t there something called Succah Shadchan?
lakewood001: If a tree (not a sapling) was created during the first week of creation, fully grown, with say, 100 xiphoid rings/layers, how can scientists be THE ONLY ONES WHO DETERMINE ITS AGE? So the alleged age of anything can’t be solely based on scientifc criteria. Do you agree?
Believe it or not, the original Chicken Soup for the Soul books contain pages and pages of true stories(situations that changed from hopeless to miraculous)….I was personally greatly inspired by those stories. But the COMMON DENOMINATOR in all of them is NEVER to give in to despair,and to be open to a positive turn of events SO THAT WHEN IT COMES YOUR WAY, YOU WON’T MISS IT!!!
Secular Frummy: I specified a smart person who DOES believe so he/she can THEN discuss the matter.
It’s supposed to be involving….in its discussions many relevant lessons are learned.
It wasn’t a waste because Hashem doesn’t do dumb things. Ever. You just don’t know WHY you spent so much time on all that – YET.
In the meantime, pursue your dreams without wasting time NOW, and don’t dwell on what can’t be fixed.
Yungerman: Try this. Whom do you know in real life that you think is very smart? Whom do you admire? Do THEY believe? Talk to them, and ask them why.
Lost: Please go to Aish.com and look in the archives for Rabbi Noach Weinberg’s video lectures. Short, palatable, and will bring you to a genuine LOVE of G-d which is another deterrent of sin. Fear of G-d will come, in due time. First we have Rosh Hashana to recognize Hashem….only then can we possibly prepare for Yom Kippur. Look at how a bunch of anonymous posters care about you. Wanna know how Hashem feels towards you? Multiply this by a zillion!
May I hypothesize for a moment?[Don’t get all irked; you can ignore me completely:)]And let’s say you marry the girl of your dreams, and you two get into a stressful argument. Again, the bottle? And your boss criticizes you in front of a co-worker. The bottle? Coping skills ARE WORTH GOLD! Lots of ways to attain them.
oomis: Nice! (Are you a rebitzen? I’m asking seriously.)
Rav Amnon Yitzchok has an incredibly CLEAR way of explaining these concepts.
And those who suggested that the Rebitzen approach the women were making a lot of sense, too. But the success of that would depend entirely on how much those women look up to her.
I will clarify: You would not be REMOVING yourself as if it’s a penalty, you would just be accepting “defensive living”. If another car on the road is being driven by a crazy maniac,I am not going to start teaching him how to drive safely because he clearly isn’t interested. I will get out of harm’s way, FOR MY OWN SAKE. There will always be poor drivers on the road, and there will always be TZNIUSDIG people attending all the shiurim on tznius, while the others struggle and cause others to struggle at the same time.
A person can only control his/her OWN actions. If davening there disturbs your davening or your thoughts, not much choice but to daven elsewhere. Even the Rov can’t “control” how the women dress.
Am I wrong?
And general rule: Never flirt or “play” with the vulnerable. Then you won’t have to make yourself unlikeable post-facto.
Smell. Who can stand that?
