Some people say that depression might be uncomfortable but it’s not dangerous.

They are wrong. Depression is dangerous and there is a chance of suicide. You are saying that you are suicidal; you must discuss this with your therapist. It is dangerous to be so depressed.

You say that your height is your main issue; it is not. It’s your thoughts about your height. You are depressed and thinking about your height. You are depressed and thinking that you don’t have friends. It’s your thoughts that are killing you.

You need to learn to have new thoughts; that is the theory of CBT. I assume that you need medication. (It might be helpful to be monitored while you start medication and your Dr. might want to hospitalize you. It’s not scary, its just full time care.)

You need to learn skills, the most important one is not to think the whole time about other people. What makes you happy? Do you like to work with your hands? Do you like to read a book? Take a walk? Learn to be happy on your own. People skills will come as you find something that you like and are good at you can interact with people in your comfort zone. You are the only person responsible for your happiness. Let’s say that again, you are the only person responsible for your happiness. Go find ways to make yourself happy.

Texas, how hot is it down there? I couldn’t move anyplace that is hotter than the NY summer, or colder than the NY winter. Now, can you find me a place that has all the conveniences of NY and nicer weather?

When I say conveniences, I mean shopping, food, schools (where kids aren’t obsessed with TV, latest movies and pro sports), shuls (with a full mechitzah), job opportunities and humans to have as friends.

I get it, it’s inconvenient to look for parking. We have enough humans to interact with that we ignore our neighbors. We don’t have enough parks. We have everything else!

I rest my case, all you OOT people can stay OOT and leave us alone!

Megillah was a breeze, except for some large aggadata dafim (thank you Artscroll for getting me through those!).

Moed Kattan is a little harder. Interesting though, learning about Chol Hamoed and Shemittah.

Sorry for speaking for Popa, but it’s something that cheeseless geesmongs do.

What am I?

I started the daf with brachos and am keeping up. A mongoose? A big fat jerk? A cheeseless meathead?

I haven’t seen any…what is the content? Just say no?

Maybe your son is misbehaving because his father is a troll? Research has shown that 80% of troll children act out their troll impulses by misbehaving instead of trolling. This research was done by Freud himself!

Be close to your Rav and discuss all your shalom bayis issues with him.

Remember, you will make up after a fight. Don’t let it get out of hand.

Be nice to your in laws. Even if your spouse agrees that they have idiosyncrasies, most won’t appreciate your making fun (some do!).

I agree with 18, the average bakery isn’t equipped; definitely don’t go to Shatzer unless you have their express permission. My kids went to Crown Heights with their school, but I don’t have any details about the bakery or how the school arranged it.

You know the difference between baruch Mordechai and arur shvigger.

Stomp on a Sefer Torah!! C’mon, you need to find a nicer way to say that something is inappropriate!

I’m okay with a discussion about davening…I’m uncomfortable that this thread is discussing a particular shul.

Give them to your husband, tell your hubby that the neighbor baked them, and if he tells you that hers are better, tell him that he needs to write for you a list of reasons why he loves you more than your neighbor, even though her cookies are better.

After all is said and done, we can’t and won’t understand G-d’s ways. His wisdom and understanding is something we can’t fathom.

I’d go daven in a noisy shul and talk through the whole davening.

Did these kids really have such big anger issues? Was it just a way of playing?

Sorry, but in a typical hospice setting, the urine is checked to see if a person is dehydrating and appropriate steps are taken. Don’t know which hospice you people have been using.

BTW, hospice care is a question for a Rav. Basically, instead of medical care which can lengthen a person’s life, the patient gets morphine, which slows down the heart and will shorten the patient’s life.

One must ask a Rav.

Is your hubby eating alone??? Shouldn’t this question be after “we” finish eating????

It sounds like your shalom bayis needs a makeover… maybe you should do both, eat together and wash the dishes!!!

R. Paysach Krohn says, a woman shouldn’t expect to be thanked for the bread that she bakes, unless she thanks her husband for the dough he brings home!

The taliban didn’t take your question. Nor your breath. Maybe your blood… BTW, what was your question? If the taliban took it, where did they hide it?

For the same reason why people smoke. It doesn’t bother them but it bothers you.

To quote R. Shimon Russel, “I have a magnet on my fridge that says, ‘Behind every successful man is an exhausted woman.'”

I don’t get it. I live in Brooklyn, and there are plenty of shuls to choose from where people don’t talk by davening and the Rabbi will shush people who do.

I will not daven in a shul where people talk, and if I were to move to a different neighborhood this would be one of my priorities.

I make kapusta’s 2nd recipe. It’s delicious!

I would venture that there are words that we are taught as children not to use; we still have an aversion to them. Even those of us who use them on occasion still feel uncomfortable using them. In a different language though, we never developed that discomfort.

You are placing the wagon in front of the horse. You first need to decide; what are you good at? What do you like to do? And what will bring you satisfaction?

A good accountant will earn a lot more than a bad lawyer. And a person who is in a field that they don’t enjoy will usually not be able to give it all he’s got.

I once had an issue with mice and I put up a picture of him. Unfortunately, my computer mouse stopped working as well.
