Women in a large group sometimes have parallel conversations that sound similar to the above.
Learning the halochos of shmiras haloshon is essential. In my case, crucial facts WERE WITHHELD,(that alone doesn’t ruin everything, but it sure doesn’t help) and in other cases, nasty gossip is relayed unnecessarily. Gossip ruins a shidduch from going further, and withholding essential info. can ruin a marriage.
“continue to ruin me”? Please explain why you are “stuck” in a seemingly negative situation. Has nothing improved? Have you nowhere to turn for support?
I was at a wedding last year, where a popular singer/one-man-band actually kept the music contemporary YET: the decibel level was so pleasant.No one had to go home half-deaf,and totally hoarse. Totally lively, without the insanity! I hesitate to mention names, because someone may feel otherwise, so just “shop around” by word of mouth, and mazel tov!!
Actually? Normal and well-balanced is good enough. And kind. Oh and honest. Neat and clean would be great. And funny, a real bonus. Just in case you wanted to know.
A modest city slicker or a somewhat educated country boy is fine with me. Unless it cannot be?
Likud: language change doesn’t help much…Mods?
Lev: I had a brother who was 100% normal, the cream of the crop, who became a completely different person, thanks to drugs. We are lucky he is alive, but the real him is not really alive, so….careful with these matters, as it is a frightening situation indeed.
People who make a “tanoiim” by the “vort” hold it’s a serious thing to breach, and I don’t know more than that about THAT. I do know how awful a bad marriage and divorce can be though, so if you KNOW it’s gonna be a disaster,break it off!
Of course. I passed along several jobs that weren’t for me to others, and others have recommended me for jobs which I gladly accepted. Is this what you meant? Or online networking?
Love what you do, and you’ll never work a day in your life.
Thank you, Mods!
Tova Mentoring in Far Rock has a Big Sister program. Or you can drive people to and from hospital appts – Bikur Cholim.
Thanks MDD. Are you from Baltimore MD?
Thank you sweet oomis!
Certain words just sound worse than others. My mother had “it”, and although the entire community was davening for her, the word “cancer” was not bandied about, more like, not well, needs a refuah etc.(She passed away at 50 r”l)
As a divorcee, I much prefer “single mom”, and instead of “my ex”, I’d rather say “the children’s father”,it’s hard to explain, just that words have harsher and softer sounds.
On the topic of “yene machla”, I am approaching my mom’s age (a few years away), so I will accept all blessings to live a long and healthy life!
It’s hard to be inspired by a fabricated hashgacha protis story, because it didn’t actually happen!
I think he specifies in each preface which are true.
Wow. Is it a Jewish book? Who is the author?Now if my post goes up after 20 replies, let me clarify that right now I only see ChallaMom’s post:)
yehudayona: I just realized you weren’t kidding! How did I read “blood pressure” there I will never know:)
Syag, and Haleivi: I posted BEFORE seeing either one of your posts!It’s hard to control “post placement” on this site as you know! I actually like what you both said. Syag, we said similar things, and Haleivi, your words should be a “quotable quote”: A wheel is like our life. It seems to turn around in its place, but it gets you further. Every day is basically similar to the one before it, but it is supposed to get you further.It’s great!
Popa and yehudayona,great humor to balance things out:)
Oh Shreck;I always tell people I’d rather have the uncomfortable feeling of knowing I must improve in something, than the content self-satisfaction that PREVENTS teshuvah.
Are you sure you want everyone (else) to be “mifashfesh”(?) in your maasim?
It’s personal,and not everything is necessarily an onesh ; sometimes it’s just a new-and-improved test for our midos.
Personally, whenever I “save time” davening-wise, I inevitably lose that time elsewhere in my day.But that’s just me, not saying it applies to anyone else.
workingirl: What do you ENJOY doing? Can you plan for it in your schedule tomorrow?
Oh Shreck: Maybe her live friends are already asleep. And while I agree that virtual friendship is only a “temporary fix”, so is a soothing cup of hot cocoa, so it is worth something.
I was at a chuppah with a mechitzah, I just can’t remember which shul (maybe the bsmt of Young Israel) but I can’t remember which side they (Chosson and Kallah) walked down on.
Shells are either cotton or (mostly?)lycra. Lycra dressier, cotton cooler. Some of the styles in random goyish stores are made pretty cheaply, but Kohl’s and Children’s Place offer quality clothing. I am told Nordstrom, Land’s End, and others are great too, but usually expensive.
Lev: I’m not personally offended, but thanks. I guess I’ve said as much as I could say on this topic – if not too much – so to all posters on this thread: Let’s respectfully agree to agree/disagree, that’s all:)
Where there’s smoke there’s fire….or a stink bomb. And you never know who lit the match.
LevAryeh(and all those who agree with the above statement): “iffy”? Maybe the person with an agenda, arranging for the person to be arrested on false charges is the “iffy” one??
Take it from me. The only ones who KNOW there was foul play are the cops and the D.A.’s office.
Few neighbors/press agents (whatever the case may be) ever bother to find out the truth.
It happened to me a few years ago, I will never totally forget that traumatic experience as long as I live, and as a result: I NEVER BELIEVE LOSHON HORA ABOUT ANYONE, no matter how “reliable” the source. I am the last person to whom anyone dares to gossip frivolously!
