Power corrupts. Period.
Imcha Onochi B’tzara.
Here rests John Doe…who had the right of way.
Hello, you’ve reached the wrong number. I’m telling you, it’s the wrong number.
Perhaps you can ask your boss how else you can help when the regular work is slow. He is paying you; he should benefit,no? Unless he says, relax,enjoy the free time. Just a suggestion. Also,I just saw a video describing a neshama who was “wandering” in heaven because he owed a small amount of money which he never repaid because he passed away suddenly…Personally I’d like to be done with every bit of “tikkun” I need THIS time around, and NOT have to start all over again from scratch because I wasn’t careful with money:)Just thought I’d share that jolly little thought with everyone l’kovod Elul:)
How about self-honesty? It leads to realizing where we fall short.
But it’s not the best time to schedule a surgery, court case,etc. There are other months of the year which are more MESUGAL for glad tidings.
It doesn’t mean “Heaven is in a bad mood”(kivyochol) and now only bad things will happen, c”v. The world is still and always being run buy a loving Hashem. It’s not an especially happy time, we mourn our too-long Golus,etc…..but rest assured Hashem is not “out to get us” in the 9 days.
And you don’t have to mope around or greet everyone with a sad face.
I fully agree with Torah613Torah(gosh,don’t you have a nickname?)
“Upscale Tznius (Skirts)” would have been great for the contest “What Length”….Oh well!
I would love a tznius denim skirt…but for less than $90 please:)
Nice example!
Not to minimize anyone’s argument, but if you want a moment of comic relief, please scroll up to my little off-the-battlefield post.
Aren’t the 3 weeks an an odd time for posters to be INSULTING each other? Why HURT other people? Even if you are defending kovod hatorah, kindly consider kovod habriyos.
We may WISH for something – but no reason to WISH IT AWAY from the other person. Any request of Hashem can be accompanied by “if this is truly GOOD for me”.
Power Walking attracts attention because the movements are exaggerated, while natural walking – even if brisk – does not stand out. What you wear matters a lot, too. Much of tznius is logical, and what is not obvious depends on the individual’s sensitivity to nuances. Each person has her own “tznius journey”, and our own should keep us too busy to judge others unless we are in a position to influence others; then we may speak up, if need be.
ASPCA true story:
My then-husband was sleeping in the Sukkah one night (about 20 years ago), I heard and then saw a pack of dogs (yes, a pack) trying to get into the Sukkah,he was in a deep sleep, I called the ASPCA (from inside the house,obviously).They ANSWERED the phone, but told me they couldn’t help me UNTIL 9:00am!!
I told them it really urgent,but they couldn’t understand my concern for my husband who was after all,”sleeping in the shed”!!!!In the end—also true—I opened the window,splashed my only weapon (a cup of negel vasser water) out the window, and they scampered off!!
As they say,truth is stranger than fiction!
E-Nativ is literally the best filter,at least for us. Customer service is 100% courteous and efficient, and I have not had a single problem since I got this computer/filter with anything improper making an appearance,b”h!!My kids can type up papers or play (filtered)games, and I don’t have to worry about a thing.I feel lucky to have such a great filter,b”h.
Can I BECOME a notary?
At least I will have $2.00 cash on me here and there:)
Really! Is there a course to take?
Stories from old/lesser-known sforim are great because no one usually says “Oh I KNOW that story!” since they couldn’t have read it!
I also used to tell my Bnos girls stories from MY MOTHER’s Bnos Leader guides.
Two years ago,on Rosh Hashana/Yom Kippur, I asked Hashem earnestly to help me forgive relatives who hurt me….Hashem heard my tefilos and over the course of the year,many connections were THUS renewed.
Then guess what?
My oldest son became a chosson, and I NOW HAD A WHOLE FAMILY TO CELEBRATE WITH!(The Chasuna was beautiful,b”h)
A Word of Caution: You cannot tell someone ELSE when or whom to forgive!!! It needs to come from one’s heart — when the person himself/herself feels READY to undertake it.
Thanks! I had an extra spring in my step today from everyone’s nice welcome. Really!
Thank you:)
Thank you:)
Thank you!!I just love that little story.
