    envy is dangerous.

    BTW,Mod 80,were you referring to Maccabeats?

    blueprints,I guess “two can play the game”(Solitaire).And that is another American expression for you.

    Aries,you are right.I actually thank Hashem for being busy.Problem is,I have to make all these strict rules for myself re:the newly discovered (for me)CR,otherwise one could be checking in here as often as someone who has nothing to do!!Not good.

    Case in point:After my divorce,many people told me they were “SHOCKED!”They said they thought we were “the perfect couple”.Couldn’t have been further from the truth.And when I lost a ton of weight from the stress,someone told me they were jealous of how skinny I’d gotten…So I decide to gain it all back,k’neged ayin hora:)Kidding.

    A woman must remember that Hashem wired us to enjoy being admired,and congruously,instilled men with a strong pull to “admire”.Obviously,we also want to be admired FOR OUR DEEPER ESSENCE,in addition to the above.At my age,all that’s left is the essence anyway!Okay.I’m exaggerating,but you know what I mean.

    I have often contemplated that.I am sure everyone has,as you said,”at least one major issue that they’re dealing with”.However,some of us probably have more to deal with than others.BUT:We need to feel compassion for everyone,regardless.For example,suppose something doesn’t faze me because in comparison with everything else I’ve had to deal with,it’s really “nothing”.For the person who has never encountered it before,it’s a huge problem,and that person deserves sympathy.PROBLEMS are relative,sometimes.(I don’t mean obvious tragedies,that are huge for anyone).

    WIY:What on earth are you referring to?I did not fly off the handle at any point.I did not open up a new thread related to this subject,I did not use the word “shtick” in any of my posts,I did not attack you personally anywhere at any time.

    Seriously,what posts are you referring to?I only post under one name!IT SEEMS YOU ARE MISTAKING ME FOR ANOTHER POSTER.

    And I will share this little tidbit with you:

    This child was taken away from me by her father at the age of 11 years old,and I have been watching her deterioration from afar,bearing zero responsibility for its occurrence,and sending her my love with shackled abilities to improve her situation from up close.

    P.S.Thanks for inspiring me to stop posting.Period.

    Okay,how about “elevating the mundane”

    a few examples:

    1.Changing a baby is a chesed.You are making the wet/cold/etc. child warm/dry/comfortable.

    2.Washing dishes may be a thankless chore, but every act that contributes to a family living in a neat/clean environment ENABLES EACH PERSON TO FOCUS ON his or her personal goals.(Yes,they can pitch in,but that is not my focus here)

    3.Taking out the garbage-same as above,and if you are a husband or child–you are DOING A CHESED.

    4.listening to someone go on and on about their problems–chesed,teaching yourself patience,tolerance,ahavas habrios…

    5.shopping-discipline (if on a budget),helping,caring for your family,ENABLING YOUR FAMILY TO EXPERIENCE SIMCHA(shabbos/yom tov purchases)

    RE:”all fahitzed”…I had asked for a general “your thoughts” on my ANALOGY on that thread,not on my parenting.Thankfully,the thread remained balanced,so your post became “botul b’shishim”.

    But your comment here reminds me of the Apology Of 2010:

    “I’m sorry YOU THINK I SAID WHAT I SAID

    I’m sorry YOU THINK I DID WHAT I DID

    I’m really not sure why you are upset

    I’m almost a perfect yid!”

    WIY:Yes,I agree.

    But:There is a difference between an ingrained personality trait and a temporary reaction.For example,a Baal Kaas is forever angry at everyone for everything,while someone who OVERREACTS TO ONE SPECIFIC TRIGGER may need to tone down his/her reaction in those particular situations,and the more they control their thought patterns and mindsets,the less upset they will feel,vichoolay,vichoolay.

    All I meant is that if one person is in high school(they’ve said so), and one person has mentioned their bi-focals or their grandchildren,that is sufficient evidence with which to deduce that chances are the one with the einiklach should be addressed respectfully by the one taking finals.

    WIY: You’ll excuse me for saying this,but your insinuation that a parent(?!) undoes the “chinuch” of the therapist– when in fact the case is quite often the reverse– is downright azus.I could explain further but such youthful arrogance does not even warrant more.

    I’m sorry,but I cannot let that go.Really!!
