LG- hi! I am getting married real soon… in about 2 weeks iyH! And yes, I am being treated like royalty bH! Thanks for your kind compliment!!!

LF- hi! Yes, I will read it. I take a peek here now and then.

ComlinkX- Hi, have we met under a different name before? You new here?

Healthcrazy- I did my BA with them. Is it hard? Their BA is definitely easier than doing it anywhere else. But it’s still work. Especially their Masters program- all Sunday and most of the work you do on your own. Anyway, why worry now if you’re only gonna do it in a year or two?

Randomex- loz ihr up. And be nice to strangers.

When I grow up I want to be…

young again.

Oomis- yeh, I hope everything is okay with you. Or any family members if u were visiting them. Froggie is right!

Saturday? That’s tomorrow.

I think that even if that’s the case, the negative and positive sides of a person are not a see-saw that when one goes up, the other goes down. Therefore, being shown only the positive side is not distorting the true picture of the person, since that side is still as authentic as it would be with the entire negative too. People have a yetzer horah that they may act on, but even should they choose to, that doesn’t diminish the inner value of the person, or detract from his inherent good. It’s a different story altogether. If a person is portrayed in a good light here, unless he’s really good at faking (which in itself is good too, from the perspective of “fake it till you make it”), I say he truly is good.

I used to have your fears. But then I opened my eyes when I went to the grocery and realized that the guy behind the counter is sharper, smarter, more on the ball, and more witty than me. And I started seeing it more and more, in various low-status professions. So I realized that you really can’t look at the profile- you need to meet the guy or find out about his personality and intelligence before coming to conclusions. It just isn’t fair not to- to yourself as much as to him.

Ich hear.

I’m still waiting patiently (or not so) for my new subtitle. Randomex, you’re out of ideas or something?

PAA- thanks! Yeh, that explained things! Wow, it’s amazing how u guys can think so clearly. Stick to gemarah and become something great cuz the frum population could use such brains. Really amazing. Give up the coffee room and reach ur potential! Can’t imagine R’ Chaim hanging around here.

translate (please)

In a different hall on a different avenue. You gotta go down some steps, and then there’s this big ballroom. It’ll be worth coming, Ivory! Anyhow, I need a gown. Where can I find a stunning one for a good price? With a huge skirt?

Randomex, can’t believe you didn’t show up. Missed you.

Little Froggie, Frogette looked gorgeous! With that big froggie smile of hers! Though she did look a bit green… Was she feeling alright? Missed you too!

nu, I thought mine was under construction?

Mod-29, that was very kind of you. Thanx!

I didn’t read this thread so my question might have been answered already- but why is it that when I click on my username, it says “error user not found”, but when I click on my username on top of the page where it says “welcome, evtachbchinor” (notice the original spelling), I can see all my info? Can you mods change that so that others can also see my occupation, interests, etc? Maybe it has to do with the slight changing of my name.

Randomex- In my head the first thing that came to mind was the drash and not the pshat. Therefore I wrote Kallah first, although I meant hedyot first. But the drash also applies here, as you took advantage of it.

Regarding your being male/female- I don’t really know. I don’t have proof either way, and I’m not thorough enough that I’ll check your posts to try and figure it out. My general impression is that you’re male- maybe cuz you stick to the facts and don’t get flowery or wax lyrical, or your cuz clear logic is more of a male attribute. But I may be wrong. It would be quite disconcerting should you turn out to be a female after all this time of my thinking otherwise. Anyways, I don’t really understand the need to remain secretive in this area.

Froggele Kleinchick’l:

Yes yes, of course!

May you find another beautiful, soft-hearted and caring frog to croak to, and may your lilly pad be blessed with peace and comfort; may you both ride smoothly and calmly over the ripples on the lake and have the sun and blessings smile down upon your marriage from above. May you never lack flies for meals, and may you be blessed with many adorable, well-behaved and happy tadpoles, who will emulate the ways of their special parents.

DaasYochid- amen!! And you too!

Randomex!!!! Again you caught me blundering! I meant to switch the hedyot and kallah- I know that the way I wrote it is a play on words and that was a mistake, although I know you are asking for a bracha based on that. Okay:

I don’t know if you’re married or not, but may you be zoche to a wife who can deeply appreciate your innate goodness and all your truly unique qualities (see my comments on and off the record). May you both build a bayis upon a firm foundation, enthused with purity and holiness, from which will emanate children who are meirim es haolam baTorah uvma’asim tovim. May you feel Hashem guiding you throughout your life in its ups and downs, just as you guide others. May you understand your own worth and subsequently stay true to yourself and your values. And may you be truly happy, never feel stuck, and find yourself on the path that leads you onwards and upwards, constantly and consistently. I really mean it! 🙂

Randomex, actually I am! 🙂 I know I never officially announced it….

I got engaged recently to a really amazing person bH. If anyone out there doesn’t believe there’s a G-d, let them study the my shidduch and they’d be stuck trying to explain the string of abnormal coincidences.:)

“Is that a response to the story, or to the quote which I provided?”

Originally the quote, but now that you ask, both.

That was from memory, maybe a word or two is incorrect.

“At the age I deduce for your students, I doubt they learn grammar, though.”

You’d be surprised. Boy do they!! They’re 7-8. And yes, they sat on my lap, etc. Like, they even learn about dependent and independent clauses.

BTW, you’ve just insulted me. I’m blushing. I’m tempted to stick out my tongue at you, again. (Now don’t tell me that was incorrectly stated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
