Queen Bee:
You actually spoke in front of your class in h.s and college?! You’re way ahead of me! I was too afraid to raise my hand to just answer a question! When I got to sem, the thought of giving model lessons in front of my class and then in front of an elementary school class with the teachers watching me!!!!!!!!! – YIKES! – that really blew me away. i literally shook when i had to do it! but i did it anyway and lived to tell the story 🙂
it’s funny though, i always thought i’d be a nervous wreck at my wedding – after all – the kallah is the center of attention. but guess what? it was the most amazing day! i was not nervous at all and i really enjoyed every minute of it! so go figure!
queen bee:
actually when i was dating, it really depended on the guy. with some guys i wasn’t so shy, others were a bit intimidating. (there were times i came home and felt so embarrassed or foolish cuz i thought i probably acted really dumb) when i finally met the one who is now my husband, it was really quite comfortable. i don’t know whether or not you are dating yet, but don’t get all worked up about it (i know – easier said than done). but i just want you to know that even those who aren’t shy can have a hard time on a date. when the right one comes along – somehow you know it and it all works out. hatzlacha rabba to you!!
sem20:
do i know you? 😉
workinonit – i have been shy all my life. painfully shy at times. i guess as the years have gone by (no i’m not sooooo old) it’s gotten better, but i would still say i’m shy. i, too, feel awkward and at a loss for words at times. you ask how to change that. honestly, i don’t really know. so i’m hoping others may have some advise for both of us. hatzlacha to you. i’m sure we’re not alone in this. not everyone can be outspoken and always know the right things to say at the right time.
Ir – I’m so glad your decision worked out! It really was very sweet of you! Again- wishing you Hatzlacha Rabba – a sweet year – and we hope to hear very good news from you soon. Keep us posted!
LOL mods – thanks for taking off her post. now can i have my subtitle back? “comes here for family time”
yes. notice the question mark after your current title. I was confused.
HELLO????? MODS??????? PLEASE READ MY PREVIOUS POST AND REMOVE THE POST FROM YUMMY CUPCAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY HASN’T IT BEEN DONE YET? YOU’VE BEEN UPDATED THIS SITE – WHY NOT MY REQUEST?
sorry, I thought you were talking about your subtitles, since you wrote “under my name”. So I gave you her subtitle, having no idea what the big issue was.
MODS!!! I REPOSTED – PLEASE PLEASE TAKE OFF YUMMY CUPCAKE’S POST. YOU SAID YOU WOULD REMOVE IT WHEN I REPOST. PLEASE – BEFORE YOM TOV – TAKE HERS OFF. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
mod 20- ok, i just reposted. thanks so much!
syag – you do know my number, so feel free to call anytime. as i told you in my email before, i can relate. may Hashem comfort you and give you the strength you need.
ayc – i am also sorry for the way you are feeling. i wish you the same – that Hashem should comfort you and give you strength.
may we all only have good news from now on. may this year bring peace, good health, and the geulah.

MODS – PLEASE PLEASE – CAN YOU CHANGE THE POST UNDER YUMMY CUPCAKE’S NAME TO BE UNDER MY NAME??? PLEASE? Being that i wrote that i can relate – i don’t want an ayin hara, chas v’shalom. so could you do us this big big favor? thank you so much.
BIG OOPS!!! – YUMMY CUPCAKE DID NOT WRITE THAT POST!!! It was me. I didn’t realize she was still signed on. We’ve been doing that a lot lately. My son accidentally wrote something when my name was still signed on (on a different thread).
irflatbush – i’m glad u liked my story, but like i said – don’t take an example from it. it may not work for everyone. see mommamia’s post. some girls would get turned off. i actually wasn’t sure what to make of it. i did like getting the flowers but wasn’t sure yet (after all – it was only one date) how i felt. B”H it did work out for us but… you still have to be careful. Hatzlacha Rabba to you and we hope to see you on the mazal tov thread really soon.
depot- i guess so 😉
don’t take an example from my story – i’m sure it’s not the norm. but i just thought i’d share it here.
my friend set me up with a guy from chicago (that’s why i live here now – as you all probably know, i’m from ny originally). anyway, we had a nice first date, then he went back to chicago. that friday, my doorbell rang and guess what? there was a delivery of a dozen roses from – you guessed it! the guy i went out with…ONCE. well he came back to ny a few weeks later and we dated every night that week. fast forward 21 yrs.– we are married with 3 wonderful kids (can’t really call them kids anymore – time really flies)
Wow – the popular well known pic is not really him? I never knew that! I always pictured him looking like that. So how did that pic end up being THE picture that everyone sees? I wish the real pic could be posted here.
kollelguy – just curious – did you think anyone here would actually tell you to just “take the money and run, dude”? or were you just testing everyone?
midwesterner’s wife – good point. btw – i think u should get your own screen name – here’s an original name for you “midwesterner’s wife” 🙂
popa – when’s ur next trip to chicago? can midwesterner give us ur email address?
actually, my daughters and i were right near starbucks at a few minutes after 4. we figured you had probably left already. we looked around to see if anyone frum would walk out of the store but didn’t see anyone. oh well! i should have told u to meet us in dressbarn. (maybe you could have brought home something nice for your wife).
yeah – we’ve gotten a few phone calls about that already. we refuse to get involved in that. so don’t worry, if we come by we won’t try to sell you anything.
so…other than white shirt, black pants, black hat – how can we know who you are?
LOL – seriously – why would u sit there that long? my guess is either 1) ur really not there and just want to send ppl on a wild goose chase or 2)u are really waiting to be discovered by the cr.
who in the world sits in Starbucks for 4 hours??!!
pba – yeah i know almost everyone there i used to go there and btw its meor hatorah. so any way you going to come and help with a minyan tomorrow.
PS info in post above
mods must be at slichos now – there hasn’t been an update in a while. guess we’ll have to wait till they get back.
so what’s ur schedule tomorrow? let’s have the whole chicago following you around! gonna be a fun day!
btw- u never answered my q – if my husband would have called shallots and asked for popa_bar_abba, would you have come to the phone? 😉
“Do bears like honey beer? Or just Pooh bears? What about Pooh pah bear abbas?” LOL squeak! very cute!
i never heard of mead before either. Goq -you say it’s a honey beer. does it taste like regular beer just sweeter or is it a totally diff. taste? i tasted beer once and hated it. so just wondering.
popa – sorry – but like i said – i was at work today. try again on sunday. let us know whee you’ll be. actually i do know someone who went to shallots last night and then went to look for you at starbucks. i guess most ppl don’t just want to go over and say “hey – are you popa bar abba”?
i don’t live too far from there. u shud have come to say hi – except i was at work.
are you gonna be in chicago for any of the yomim tovim? ya gotta experience yom tov here!
aw popa – you mean nobody found out who you are? what a shame! we all had a great opportunity and missed it.
i was going to have my husband call shallots and ask for a customer named popa bar abba. would you have come to the phone if he really did that?
hmm – tomorrow night at Shallots? maybe instead of spending family time on the cr – we’ll spend it at shallots. sounds good to me. we’ll be there. can’t wait to meet u popa and whoever else from cr is coming.
midwesterner and mrs. midwesterner – chaplaintzvi says hi and he loved the cake too. come on and join everyone at shallots – surely you can take some time off for a little get together. right?
popa – did u see yummy cupcake at the kollel tonight? did she do a good job of hiding behind the gemara? did you learn with her?
midwesterners wife – i actually do have a job. just don’t tell anyone that sometimes (only sometimes) i post from work. but usually i post from home – instead of making dinner, cleaning up, etc. 😉
you ask if anyone here has a life outside the coffee room. um…… actually this place is kind of addictive. but yeah – i guess i have other things to do. like maybe decide what to make for yom tov.
sem20 – where and what time? and what are you serving? i know – midwesterner’s wife’s cake 🙂
wow Popa – thanks for that helpful info! now u really gave urself away!
my husband was one of the original ppl to go to bais ushy. but midwesterner, i guess u know that already.
yummy cupcake should try ur wife’s yummy cupcakes, right?
we also do know yedidim’s name. but i’ll keep it a secret here.
hello midwesterner’s wife – how are you?
popa – try Rabbi Twerski on Pratt. Great place!
sem20 – thanks for putting my son’s name in the journal – that was so nice. he loved helping out!
midwesterener – don’t forget to tell ur wife what i said about her cake – YUMMY!
midwesterner – ya gotta find out who popa is!!
popa – u ask if giggle girl was my neighbor. hmmmm. i have to find out who she is first.
if you do keep on posting for her, just say that “my friend says” or something to that affect.
OMG – midwesterner – how did u figure me out? yes – it was a delicious and gorgeous cake. btw – my birthday is the first day of Succos (hint hint)
Refuah Shleima!
ok midwesterner – i don’t know if i was the “subject” of your deleted post – but i’m really curious to know. i wish there was some way i could see your deleted post.
anyway, i do know who you are. one of your daughters was in one of my daughter’s class in elementary and high school. we also used to live near each other when we lived in hollywood park.
midwwesterner – btw – u probably would never guess who i am as you probably wouldn’t know me from a hole in the wall. you may know my husband, but i doubt u know me. i am either known as ploni’s wife, ben or bas or bas ploni’s mother, or mrs ploni’s daughter in law. me? – otherwise i don’t have an identity. but that’s ok.
walton – yeah i think they play favorites. how can we become “teachers/mods pets”? anyone wanna give us some pointers? should we bring an apple or something? 🙂
but i really do think that comment should not have been allowed here. no offense Goq. i wouldn’t wanna hurt a neighbor.;)
